Jakarta, March 20, 2014.


Heavy rain flushed the city of Jakarta, right in the afternoon.


The black sedan drove through the rain and stopped in front of a minimalist two-story house painted bright yellow. It is easy for the driver to find the address of the house.


A man in his early 20s got out of a car with a navy blue umbrella in his hand. The steps are relaxed, not even a little disturbed by the rainwater that falls swimming around the road to the terrace of the house.


"More rushing.." a girl's scream under the rain caught his attention.


His steps came to a halt with the look on his face staring with interest at the thing the girl was doing.


The girl in the black knee-length babydoll dress looked to be having fun under the rain. He swirled around, jumped, laughed and shouted as he pleased. His smile rose brightly with a body that was soaked and lips that began to pale due to the slow under the rain.


Age does not reflect maturity, that's the man's mind.


"What's wrong there?" A middle-aged mother stood in front of the terrace.


Because he felt himself called to turn his attention from the girl towards the mothers who waved his hands telling him to immediately take shelter from the rain.


"Eh, yes Auntie."


His feet went back to the terrace of the house where the mother was standing. Her body slightly bowed as she greeted Ami's mother, the owner of the house.


"Assynolajet. Auntie."


"Wa'alaikumussalam, when do you come. Kok did not enter even silent from earlier Aunty called." Said Aunt Ami to Nagara the nephew of his future besi.


"Newly Auntie, was about to enter." Sahut Gara, his eyes still occasionally glanced at the girl who was still playing rain water in the park next to the house of Aunt Ami.


"Byok coming in, we're talking inside just not good outside cold." Take Aunt Ami who answered the ring from the garage.


"No need for Aunty, I just want to take care of Mami Tita aja." For handing over paperback that he himself does not know what it is.


"The rain is still raining. Don't hesitate to go in just let's copy first." Again for refusing subtly.


"No need for aunty, really. I still have business." Clearly Gara, his eyes were still glancing in the same direction.


"Well, aunt can't make it."


"That's why I said tan."


Because walking to his car using his navy umbrella, his head looked towards the girl was. I don't know what happened to his heart beating irregularly every time he noticed the girl who was playing in the rain. This was the first time they met and it was as if a magnet was pulling him to continue watching the girl with that sweet smile.


Aunty Ami who from earlier noticed the gelagat because who continued to look towards the garden next to his house, also looked in the same direction that was seen because.


Instantly the eyes of the middle-aged mother glared perfectly. "God, Zoya!! You can get sick after a rain shower." His shout called out the name of the girl who was still faithfully playing in the rain.


"Yes ma, Zoya please." The girl ran into the house not one bit to look at the man who had noticed her interaction.


She kept watching the girl until she entered the house.


"Zoya ise. What a beautiful name."


**


Sudan has missed three days since Gara saw a girl named Zoya who made her night late by remembering the girl's sweet smile.


Today the two extended families will hold an engagement proposal from Max's cousin from next to his papa, for Arin son of Aunt Ami.


Means today because you have the opportunity to see the rain girl again, yes because Zoya is nicknamed the rain girl.


Yes aware of his feelings, Gara is not a labile teenager like Raka who does not understand the meaning of his heartbeat that beats fast when remembering Zoya's sweet smile.


The car troupe came in droves from relatives and relatives, coming to enliven the proposal and engagement of Max and Arin.


Satria and Max's family are welcomed by the family of the future fiance max.


The atmosphere of the house is crowded by relatives and friends of both families who will hold an engagement proposal and the determination of the wedding date.


The elders were invited to sit in a family room soup prepared directly by the family of Aunt Ami and Om Doko husband of Aunt Ami. Half an hour of talking, max the bride and groom have not yet come to make Mami Tita and Om Julio start to worry.


Mami Tita keeps glancing at the cell phone in her hand.


"This is how jeng, the show is about to start?" Aunty Ami asked as she stared at the restless gurgle of her future iron family.


"Sorry, excuse me for a minute." Mami Tita and Mama Anin moved from the sopa not forgetting to attract Gara to participate away from the crowd.


"What the hell is Ma? Mi?" Because I asked confused.


"How do you help my mommy, baby." Pinta mami tita full of hope.


"Help me what?"


Anin who had been silent had persuaded because. "You have to want to, baby. Don't refuse, it's for the dignity of the family."


"It's mommy and mommy talking what the hell. I don't swear."


Mami Tita sighed harshly, her head dizzy with her son's behavior that would embarrass the family.


"Max ran away with his girlfriend out of the country. So you're the one who has to replace the max position for Arin's fiancee." Instantly Gara's eyes glared perfectly, wanting to refuse but not have the heart.


"But mi.."


Tita kneels before Gara. "Mami beg you, dear. Max is the only child and you're the only cousin who can change, there's no way Raka is still sitting in the changing high school bench." His hand cupped both his hands.


Anin who saw her brother-in-law in bed immediately pulled her sister-in-law to stand up.


"Bak doesn't need to be kayak gini, because it would want to really."


"*But a profession because of the Aunty army."


"The Arin family doesn't have a problem with that*."


Due to a dilemma on the one hand he likes another woman and on the one hand he is forced to accept replacing his cousin.


"How to want.." Saying to hang. "You would-be fiancee bang max nerima Gara." Further.


"definitely. That must be baby, Arin must have received you."


Because with his mother and mother, returned to the family room and held a proposal event that had been delayed. Aunt Ami's family has been told by Om Julio and papa because of the escape of max and Arin himself already knows the news of the escape of the prospective fiancee. Arin is Zoya the rain girl.


Arinda Zoya's full name is only silent when the proposal and engagement event is held.


Today her engagement takes place, but it is not the person she expected to propose to her and become her fiance but rather the cousin of Max, the man she loves.


"Alhamdulillah, it has been determined, means that the wedding will be held in five days." Both families seemed happy not the least bit care about the feelings of the girl who had been sitting still with a blank look.


His heart was sad, his feelings were broken.


Because he looked at the girl carefully. There were no tears just blank stares and an expressionless cold countenance.


"I hope my choice is not wrong."


The rice was already porridge, there was no longer any way to retreat.


Time went by quickly, the sun rose and sank as fast as the blink of an eye. And today the wedding is happening.


"Knight of Nagara Bhakti Bin Adam Handoko. I marry and marry you to my daughter Arinda Zoya with a set of cash-paid prayer tools."


"I accept the marriage and marriage of Arinda Zoya Binti Zandoko with a set of prayer tools. Paid in cash."


"WELL." RIGHT."
