BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT BEAUTIFUL

15. Arif is Married?

When I finished talking to Dad, I looked at Mama. Although his face still caused deep sadness, but a single smile was already engraved there. Ahhhh, my great woman. Mama is an inspiration to me, how steadfast Mama is. A strong warrior whose heart is unusually firm and beautiful. If papa could realize all that, a loss once left Mama. But again, we can't imagine much.

"Ma, can Rara hug Mama?" my many.

Mama spread out her hands, as a sign that she was ready to accept my embrace with pleasure. But not yet landed in the arms of Mama, Dinda already hugged Mama.

"Dinda, Rara's brother first." I said.

"Who's that fast that Mama hugged first!" Dinda sneers.

"Jeez Din, who is sad brother, why do you play nyosor that way. You little nosy sister!" I sneered back.

"Who told me to let it go." Dinda still hasn't let go of her hug on mama.

"Ma, Dinda is nosy again." I pretended to be angry, then we laughed together. More like laughing while crying. "I'm sorry Rara ya ma.." I whispered in the ear of the woman who gave birth to me.

"Mama loves you Ra." whispered Mama too.

***

Morning still feels heavy. Because there are still many problems related to the cancellation of the marriage that I have to solve, but that does not mean I have to avoid everything, including skipping work even though Gita as the manager above me immediately gave permission.

Arrive in front of the office. I took a deep breath. Pray that God will strengthen this heart. Yesterday was still safe, because Arif did not go to work. I don't know what the reason is, even though your leave has been canceled because the marriage failed.

Maybe he was not ready to face the office people, including brother Gita and my three best friends; Aya, Dini and Risa who could be sure would be at the forefront to defend me.

"Rome!" suddenly Anita waved her hand at me. He looked at me, like he wanted to say something but also looked bad.

"Why?" my many.

"No. You're okay, aren't you, Ra?"

"Yes. Alhamdulillahot. Why why?"

"You're patient, Ra!"

Anita spontaneously hugged me tightly. We weren't too close, which is why I was a little confused by Anita's attitude.

Is it against me as much? Maybe because we are both girls. Or because he pityes me who was left married. I decided to quickly pass into my room after Anita took off her embrace.

It turned out that it was not only Anita who was acting strangely. Almost all the employees I met said support so I was patient. The woman even patted me gently on my shoulder and back. Some even hugged me tightly to tears.

What's the matter?

No one wants to answer. Everyone decided to shut up. So I concluded that this was their support for me for the annulment incident that I announced yesterday.

"Rome!" Aya, Dini and Risa entered my room, just a few minutes after I put down the bag and was about to start opening the computer.

"You why? Is it crying?" I pointed at Risa who was the most mellow among the four of us.

"Ra, haven't you heard the latest news sent to the office email?" ask Aya.

"What news?" since yesterday I have not had time to check email at all because my mood is still messy so that office work is neglected.

Arif is getting married!

What does everything mean? I frowned, trying to review the invitation sent last night to my office email. It also means being sent to all other employees.

"Aarif wants to get married?" I asked back. "How do you mean?"

"Either. Is Arif stressed?" ask Dini.

"Hus, don't just talk. He's the one who canceled his stressful time." said Risa.

"But the proof is that he sent all the employees here empty wedding invitations, there's only his name as the groom-to-be. The name of the woman was intentionally left out. That's called stress. He canceled the wedding plans. This was obviously intentional because the invitation was sent after he cancelled the wedding plans with Rara." Dini explained the analysis.

"If she feels stress or regret, you should just talk to Rara." Risa still did not agree with Dini's explanation.

"Keep what, dong?" Back to asking.

Now the views of my three friends are fixed on me, of course the goal is for me to give them an explanation. But I shake my head. Although I've been through ta'aruf with Arif, I don't know everything about him. Just on general things.

"Relax ... calm down. Leave this to Aya." she pressed her phone. Talk for a while, then turn off the call. No one called Aya for long.

[So the building is in the message on whose behalf?] ask Aya at someone at the end of the call. [There must be a name for the groom and his woman?] again, Aya was silent. [Please dong leakingin, rest assured there will be no problem.] Aya is still negotiating. [Oh yes. Good. Thanks.]

Phone's closed. Then Aya glanced at me. He seemed hesitant to say the results of his investigation.

Aya called the owner of the building where Arif's wedding location as shown in the digital invitation that he sent to find out which building was ordered on whose behalf. Once he got his name, Aya deliberately kept quiet for a while so that made the three of us become very curious.

"The marriage will indeed exist" Aya said cautiously. Even so successfully made me hot cold.

I feel like I'm electrocuted. My body immediately limped. So he canceled my marriage because he wanted to marry another woman. But who? Why is he so hard on me? Or how the hell is that?

Oh Allah ... What should I do?

"Who was the name of the woman who took Arif from Rara, huh?" dini asked, he was so curious and angry at Arif's bad treatment of me.

"Yes yes, tell dong!" risa Pinta. "Don't just shut up!"

"Come say yes. Tell me!" now it's my turn to urge Aya.

"alright. The informant I called, the name of the bride-to-be Monika" said Aya.

"Monica?" me, Dini and Risa exchanged lyrics.

"Wait, who's Monika? The model in our office that resaign it?" I looked at Aya, full of probing, hoping that all the guesses that came suddenly in my mind were wrong.

"Yes, right Ra. Monika Ariella." said Aya.

Now I'm really suspicious of some of the awkwardness that was felt the last week before Arif canceled our wedding plans.

But no, I will not think negatively before hearing the explanation directly from Arif's mouth. I didn't want to dirty my own heart even though there were actually a lot of questions popping up in my head, like a bunch of buzzing bees. They need answers. Oh my God, I'm sorry, this time it's kinda cool to him. Pardon me!
