Allow the Heart to Choose

23.The same fate

Farel was so stunned when he saw Aisyah who entered the room with being held by Shelvia and Keisha, his mother. Aisyah looks very beautiful and also shines from the others.

Farel who was still staring in admiration Aisyah who was so beautiful, was caught by Faisal and made him smile and then brought his face closer to Farel's ear.

" remember Farel. Not yet valid " whispered Faisal fit next to Farel's ear.

Farel looks misbehaved because it has been discovered by his brother-in-law candidates have been caught staring at his sister.

Farel lowered his head and Istighfar after noticing that his gaze was not appropriate for Aisyah. He must not linger staring at her even though soon they will be his fiancee but they are not yet fully legitimate, before until that moment arrives, after Farel finished saying the qobul Ijab he had to keep his eyes on Aisha.

Aisyah sat in a place that had been specially prepared for her, a place that was in front of Farel but with a considerable distance.

At a glance Aisyah glanced at Farel who was also staring at every movement she made, Aisyah looked down again and no longer saw Farel at all.

There was absolutely no happy smile visible on Aisyah's face. Yes, because this is not his desire at all.

Aisyah's eyes continued to withstand the turmoil that wanted to come back out of her eyes, her eyes were already reddened but she was as strong as her heart was holding her back from coming out.

" this is not what I want.not this., "Aisyah can only sob in her heart.

Had he known it would be better yesterday he did not go home and continue his schooling in the land of people alone, than he came home and ended up with this matchmaking that he did not expect at all.

Rico who was sitting among the invited guests was in pain, he was even sadder now. Staring at her girl would belong to someone else, and what made her most claustrophobic was that Aisyah was unhappy with all of this.

" as little as your pain will be great in my heart, Shah and vice versa, Your happiness will mean so much to me. I'm sincere if you won't be mine, but I'm not sincere if you suffer with your relationship. "inner Rico is upset with both of them.

Why does it feel so painful for Rico. He has no rights over Aisha now, even her feelings are not at all known by Aisyah and Aisyah's feelings are also as unknown to her. But in view of her behavior, it seemed that Aisyah had a sense of herself.

" let it happen if it's his destiny, Co. If destiny says otherwise rest assured, God has a way to undo it. "inner Rico advises himself.

Rico kept trying hard even though he was already very unable to see her, seeing Aisyah who was suffering and had to struggle to hold her own.

Rico smiled resolutely as Aisyah suddenly glanced at him. Rico shook his head, not allowing Aisyah to become this fragile.

" how can I wear the ring of another man in the presence of the man I love. How can I O Allah "Aisha sobbing harder in her heart.

At the same time, when the two of them looked at each other's tears they just dripped. The pain of both can not be contained again and come out simultaneously.

" I can't be like this. I also have to get out of here otherwise Aisyah will not be able to continue this event. "

Rico wiped his tears with one finger then he smiled at Aisyah. Rico moved on and intended to get out of the room.

" Where is Bang Rico going? "'in Ayesha.

Aisyah continued to look at Rico's back and what Aisyah did did did did not escape Rayyan and Farel's sight.

" have I made a mistake? " it looks Farel frowning seeing the events that are in front of him. However, it did not last long because Farel preferred to ignore his suspicions and remained determined to continue this event.

Rico continued to step up to find a comfortable place to sit alone there.In a quiet place under the mango tree that is behind the pesantren that is where Rico is now.

Rico frowned, because not only was he there but there was a girl sitting there who was daydreaming and sad.

Despite the doubt Rico stayed close and at his sight Meyka who looked very moody. " Mayka? " blu Rico.

Echem...

Rico deliberately decided to make Meyka aware of his arrival. And what was done turned out to be the results of Meyka turned her head quickly and was very surprised to see Rico who was there.

" Brother Rico! " Meyka stood up and looked directly at Rico.

Rico smiled, but looked at Meyka strangely. It was a happy day for her cousin but why didn't Meyka look happy at all.

" why are you sitting here alone? isn't the show about to start? " ask Rico.

" a-me" Meyka was confused to find out what reason To Rico, there's no way she'd say that she's there because she can't see people she likes with other people, even though it's his own cousin.

"what reason would I tell Brother Rico. There's no way I'm telling you because I can't see Mas Farel getting engaged to Aisyah, that's not gonna be true, is it? " i think Meyka is confused.

Rico frowned hearing that, now he knew the reason why Meyka was there alone. And it turns out that the reason is the same as her.

" are you really not going to be with your cousin on her happy day? " ask Rico.

" Hem's. " Meyka was stunned, she was so confused, she wanted to but she couldn't.

" i.. I'm going there soon, but for Brother Rico, why is Brother Rico not there, too, is it? " Meyka also thought the same thing, maybe Rico was there as well as himself.

"'i want to go back, but I don't know the place and I finally got here because I was looking for the place "Rico said lying.

It turns out that Meyka was wrong, she thought Rico was there like her but apparently she just wanted to find a toilet.

" So Rico is going to the toilet? " ask Meyka. "if you want to go to the toilet over there Kak. kak straight aja later the toilet is on the left." added Meyka shows.

Rico pretended to follow Meyka's hand with an occasional nod of understanding., Thank you then." said Rico.

Instead of going to the toilet, Rico sat there, making Meyka sit back and look at Rico in confusion. " Sister Rico is okay? " ask Meyka.

" no "the answer is short.

Questions were on Meyka's mind. If Rico really wanted to go to the toilet, there was no way he would have sat there as moody as he was.

" Sister, is there something I've missed? brother Rico and Aisyah... "

Rico looked at Meyka as she began to ask about herself and Aisyah. "you mean? " Rico asked back and stopped Meyka's words.

Meyka averted her eyes and looked at the other." Aisyah told me about Brother Rico. At first I thought it wasn't Brother Rico that Aisyah always told me about but now I'm sure that what Aisyah told me was Brother Rico. "

" Aisyah greatly admired Brother Rico, even she was also often delirious to call the name of Brother Rico in her sleep. Although Aisyah did not say that she liked Brother Rico, but it was proof that Aisyah really liked her brother. And I see Brother Rico too. Are y'all...? "

Rico smiled wryly at the explanation from Meyka, it turned out that deep was the taste Aisyah had for her? it was only fitting that Aisyah now seemed to have suffered more than herself.

" do you two like each other in silence? " ask Meyka.

Rico closed his eyes for a moment wanting him to think before he said anything to Meyka. Not that the words he had obtained but instead Aisyah's face that flashed through his mind quickly Rico opened his eyes he was very panicked and immediately ran to immediately return to the place where the event took place.

" Rico's sister "Meyka looks very confused. What makes Rico so panicked and just ran away regardless of himself. " What's Rico? " Meyka also went and chased Rico because he was so curious.
