BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT BEAUTIFUL

40. Testing Again?

Whatisthis? I looked up at the photo that Arif uploaded. Definitely by marking my account and office account so that all my friends know. This is apparently the safe intent they were saying. Also Ken's attitude changed jutek.

Arif uploaded a picture of me standing in front of the room where Yuni was being treated. If only in the photo I alone stood, it would not be this big, but the photo was standing with Rangga.

Yes, Rangga. Our poses smiled at each other, standing face to face. I tried to remember that it happened yesterday when we were both getting to know Yuni.

Actually there is nothing special about this photo, but so excessive and misinterpreted because of the caption made by Arif. "Congratulations Ra, you have found the future priest you crave. May the wedding plan be smooth." Don't forget he gave emoticons a smile and love. It's not very annoying.

If only touching it was not illegal, maybe I had invited him to wrestle, so upset with his actions. It was like he was looking for me because of me. This kid must learn a lesson to get him hooked.

[What med? Another photo of a future husband?] a message from Ken.

Huh huh? Meaning especially? I'm so anxious to see Ken too, why is he so annoying as Arif? Husband-to-be what does that mean? I am obviously single!

[Cok not answered? It's worth it when I apply but you don't want to answer. You already have a candidate. You want to learn to be a playgirl, Ra? Remember, I'm not messing around with Ra. You're the only woman I'm applying for!] another message from Ken.

I don't know where to explain. Though today was I the one who should ask him for an explanation about Monika, why was I the one who was considered guilty, even labeled learning to be a playgirl?

This head feels pulsating. To avoid a bad mood with Ken's accusations, I decided to turn off HP, and then focus on my work.

Five minutes later, Ken walked out of his room. I don't know what got into him until Ken paced in front of me. It is like there is no work, but it should lead meetings with general managers.

***

Lunch hour. After the prayer at the mosque mushalla, suddenly brother Gita and my three friends immediately pulled out.

"What's this?" my many. "You want to kidnap me?"

"Pstttt, no. Don't noise. Come along!" said brother Gita.

With a car, the five of us headed to one of the cafes that we often visited before.

"It's been a long time since we've been here." I said, writing my favorite menu, hodgepodge and fresh tea in the menu book.

"Yes." answered Aya. He ordered the same menu as me. When finished, the cafe waiter immediately brought our menu notes. "Ra, there's actually something we want to ask."

"What?" I looked one by one at the faces of Gita, Aya, Dini and Risa.

"You and Arif are better?" gita's feet are welcome to interrogate me.

"Kill? Yes, my brother." answered me. "I'm sorry it could be. But if it's better like before, it's impossible. Moreover, his attitude lately is very annoying. I was really made to feel dizzy by him. I really don't think he's stupid like that."

"I didn't know it either, Ra. Even I got to scold him many times, after knowing what he did to you from Aya, Dini and Risa" said Gita.

"But why are you so familiar with social media?" I couldn't help but ask.

"When?" I'm head-scalking. "Oh, this must be because of the photo he uploaded this morning, right?"

"Yes!" replied Brother Gita, Aya, Dini and Risa simultaneously."

"Then the man who photographed it?" ask Aya again.

"That's his name Rangga. He's the brother of one of my sources. Her sister was hospitalized, yesterday I swiped her. As we talked, apparently Arif who was also in the hospital took a picture of us secretly." I explained briefly what happened.

"Well, really look for it because of the Arif. Did we just teach him a lesson, brother?" ask Aya, to Gita's sister. "I have an idea that he'll call and not interfere with Rara's privacy anymore."

"What idea is Ay?" ask Gita, Dini and Risa.

"Astagfirullah ..." I immediately patted my forehead slowly, remembering something.

"Why Ra?" ask brother Gita.

"I was meeting at lunch with Ken." suddenly the image of Ken's upset face popped into my mind. My God, he must be waiting in the parking lot right now. Where I'm not carrying a HP. How to preach it?

"Ken? You mean Mr Ken?" said brother Gita. Now the four pairs of eyes were staring at me, waiting for an explanation.

"Yes, I mean Mr. Ken." I replied, slowly.

"Ra, looks like you should also explain to us what's really going on between you and Mr Ken?" Aya looked at me with an intimidating look.

"That's nothing." I tried to smile, but it looks like they would let go if I told them everything.

"By!" call Aya again.

"OKAY. I don't really know where to tell you because I'm confused myself" I said.

"Yes, say whatever you have to say" said Aya.

"Yesterday, Ken, I mean Mr. Ken expressed his heart. He wants to marry me." I said, slowly.

"What?" the four of them shouted at the same time. "Keep up how's Ra?" ask Aya, impatiently.

"Actually he wanted to convey himself to mama and papa, but a few days ago the condition of Mama is not good. Mama fell unconscious. That's why Ken doesn't talk." I said.

"Geez Ra, this important news why is it kept alone? You don't believe in your brother?" sister Gita looked at me.

"It's not so brother. Actually I still doubt, are all Ken's words true? Remembering, Arif who was nobody just dumped me, then how could someone like Ken even propose? It's like a dream, right? Like a story in a fairyland. That is why I doubt and fear myself, brother. I might not be able to break my heart a second time." I said, with teary eyes.

Everything that has happened lately is like in soap operas. When I was dumped by Arif, it was found by Ken who I think is much better everything than Arif.

Logically, I still find it hard to believe everything myself. How can I share this story with others?

"Rome!" Brother Gita and my three best friends immediately hugged tightly. "Cancel marriage must be very heavy, Ra" said Brother Gita.

"To be honest I'm still traumatized, brother. Talking about marriage alone is still lazy. That's why I still feel like a dream. Is this true? What if it turns out that everything is just a lie, or fails again? Sore." now those tears are starting to spill.

"Ra, you should be able to step up again. You are a good person, deserving of the best as well!" Risa held my hand tightly.
