BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT BEAUTIFUL

54. Should It Fail for Both Times?

My face paled, as the phone call did not get any response from Ken, nor did the messages. Since yesterday it was stated in wa that Ken is not active.

How could a Ken who was in fact the chief director of a large book and printing company not hold his HP that long? Anyway, there's not a single member of his family I can call because I really don't know them. I only know what his father's name is as the owner of the company, nothing more. Today was a family meeting for the first time.

Cold sweat started flooding the back. Feels like it flows slowly. I feel really nervous. Not knowing what to do other than push the number Hp Ken, hoping for a miracle, he was active to just answer the phone or reply to my message so that this fret is completely gone.

"Ken, where are you?" I almost cried.

Suddenly appeared Aya, Dini and Risa. They immediately frenzied when they saw my new look after the makeup by Aunt Wira.

"MasyaAllah Rara, you are beautiful. Really Ra. Try if Arif see, can regret the seven derivatives he!" dini Debut.

"Duh, please dong, don't bring that name again. I heard it!" said Aya with a pretend look to vomit.

"Yes, the atmosphere is more fun like this even discuss the creatures do not have the heart. From now on, don't mention him again. I don't like hearing it. Desire to blaspheme but fear sin!" said Risa.

"Yes yes. I'm sorry. I am amazed by the same Rara now. Original, you got along well with Ken, Ra. Matches one hundred percent. Very superior seedlings. Your kids will be cute!" dini said.

"By the way why are you quiet, Ra? Are you sad again?" asked Risa who seemed to be aware of my restless facial expression.

"Who is sad? Rara's? Yeah no. She will be the wife of the owner of a large company, a sad time. Yeah, right Ra? What is now Rara must be a very happy song. Or maybe his heart was stubborn, so he could not say anything." said Dini.

"Ken disappeared ..." I said, in a low voice, barely audible.

"Huh?" said Aya, Dini and Risa.

"Lost how? How can? How's story? Ra, let's tell me? What do not-don't ...." Aya covered her mouth with both hands. "No, it's impossible. I'm sure Ken loves you very much, Ra. The proof is that he is always there for you. From the beginning he was still disguised as an ordinary employee, I often saw him watching you. It can't be Ra. I'm sure this must be just a misunderstanding. Yeah, right Ra?" Aya tuding.

"I don't know. But from yesterday he was not active at all." I said, with teary eyes. Really, I'm really scared. Afraid that I would be disappointed a second time, but even more afraid that my mother would be disappointed.

God, what's been going on lately is too sweet. I'm afraid it's all just pure happiness. Was there a mistake I made without realizing that I did not deserve that happiness? Again the tears broke down, flooding both of my cheeks.

"I'm scared!" I said in a sedan.

"Ra, don't be afraid, everything will be fine. God willing. You are patient." pinta Risa while hugging me. "Now what should we do?" Risa switched on Aya and Dini.

The four of us huddled, looking for a way to solve this unease. While the clock kept turning blind my heart grew more and more worried.

"How's this? Fifteen minutes to start the show. Guests have arrived too. There are Mr. Gita, mas Fian, mr. RT, Bu RT, and also pak ustad. How'this?" I started to panic, peeking out of the window.

"Calm Ra," pinta Aya.

"How can I calm down if Ken has no news at all!" I started to get carried away.

"Yet Ken didn't come in yesterday. Then where is he going? What do not-don't ...." I started to guess.

"Yes, sorry. I'm just ..." Again Early silent.

"Surely, it's Din!" Risa also told me to be quiet.

"You don't know Ay, it's like being left out of wedlock. Now I have to fail a second time, I can't!" I'm still crying.

"Yes Ra, we understand. You are patient. We're all gonna figure out a way for Ken to be found. So how's the full story? Did you guys fight?" ask Aya.

"No. The last time we met at the hospital, we talked together just before entering my mother's room, he just asked about Rangga. After entering the treatment room, he just talked to my mom." I said.

"Why is she Nanya Rangga?" Aya probing.

"Before Ken came, Rangga also came to visit my mother. When he wanted to go home, Arif came and accused the non-no. But Ken ignored, until finally Rangga and Arif left. That's it." I said again.

"Maybe Ken's jealous or he's prejudiced?" ask Aya again.

"Of course .." I replied in a weak voice. Ken's pain was left out of marriage. You were the medicine at the time. Are you going to do the same to me now? Ken, you're a good man, I'm pretty sure of that. Give a sign so that this belief does not waver in the least.

"Sister Rara!" screech Dinda from behind the door.

"Oh my God, how is this?" I immediately held my friends' hands, it felt really weak, like I was about to face a severe punishment.

Dinda went into the room, she pulled my hand out and followed Aya, Risa and Dini. We continued to gather through the guest room through the guests who were busy chatting with mama, papa and Aunt Wira.

I was almost surprised to find a new car perfectly parked in front of the house, shortly out the figure of someone who had made me shed tears.

"Ken!" call me.

"By!" he looked troubled, out in a frenzy. "Sorry Ra, I hope you're not angry. Your parents too" said Ken.

"Why?"

"That's sorry Ra .. so sorry. I spoke well to my father and mother, but they would not listen. The reason for that is because I am the youngest child and the only man. Sorry Ra, I'm ...."

"Iihhh Ken, what is it?" Aya looked impatient, she immediately went forward asking for an explanation from Ken, to the point of forgetting that Ken was her superior.

"That!" Ken pointed towards the entrance alley, before long appeared two small-size buses, accompanied by dozens of luxury cars that cost billions of rupiah. From the small bus came down people dressed in typical Betawi clothes, carrying tanjidor, tambourine, trumpet and some other musical instruments that I did not recognize. "Sorry Ra, that's .. My brothers are worthy!" Ken grimaces, maybe he's embarrassed.

"It's okay, Ken. But it was festive as well." I said, astonished to see everything. While the people in the house went straight out, so did the neighbors left and right. "There's an ondel-ondel as well." I smiled, making Ken even more embarrassed.

"Ra, you're beautiful" she said, slowly. "But her eyes are red?"

"Pstttt, keep your distance. You're not halal!" brother Gita suddenly approached, giving distance between me and Ken.
