Certainty of Love

“She blamed me and raised that problem. He pointed at me and blamed me. He held me accountable and threatened me with reporting to the authorities. At that time I was afraid because I had just finished my education and had not been appointed. It will affect my inauguration. I had persuaded to take the father's son to the clinic or health center but instead the father refused and increasingly accused me of non-existence. He even led people's opinions to corner me. Eventually, that little problem becomes a big problem. But at the time I would be taken to the authorities Rayya came and defended me by explaining everything that happened. Rayya even showed me the video that in the end everyone who had blamed me was now turning to my defense. The father and son finally left with anger and shame. And it turns out that after I investigated the father and son were indeed people who like to do such things to blackmail people.” Ariq.

“So that's why you like Rayya? Then why not from a year ago did you come?” ask papa Imran.

Ariq who got the question smiled, “Papa is right. If I had known Rayya a year ago why it had only been the last two months we knew each other and communicated with each other. That's also a reason. After the father and son left, I who wanted to thank Rayya did not have time because Rayya was gone. But at that time I still saw the license plate of Rayya's motorcycle and investigated it after I was inducted. I found Rayya college. I gathered all the information about Rayya secretly. Can you say I paparazzi Rayya.” Ariq.

“I investigated it and since then I decided to choose to marry Rayya later. A brave girl defends honesty. He even helped someone selflessly. Not expecting any rewards at all. I admired him even more and planned to meet Rayya. I had everything ready but it turned out that one of my friends said that he liked a girl who was in midwifery college at the time, he said. I was curious and asked who the girl was. He showed me a picture and it turned out that the girl was Rayya. I was immediately heartbroken. Honestly, I was a coward at the time and gave up on my friend.” continued Ariq.

“So does your friend like Rayya? You're not wrong, are you? Rayya did not tell me at all that he was close to men nak.” said papa Imran.

“Well, at first I couldn't believe it was Rayya. But when he mentioned Rayya's full name and also where he went to college and his majors. I'm sure it was Rayya. I also made sure that Rayya liked my friend that and was right. They liked each other but somehow their relationship ended. But from what I heard because Rayya refused to get married fast.” Ariq.

Papa Imran nodded in understanding. He started connecting one incident with another that happened a year ago, “I understand. Definitely the reason Rayya refused because her brother was not married at the time.” Papa Imran.

“I didn't expect him to hide this. Well, my second daughter seems to have a lot of secrets. Then after you hear that how? Are you happy?” ask papa Imran to smile.

Ariq chuckled, “Munafic me if it says that I am not happy. I was very happy at the time but I had to hide it because after all my friend was heartbroken. Since then I have re-established the courage to meet Rayya but still consider everything well. Because it turns out even though I was determined to forget and give Rayya for my friend. But it turns out that the taste is hard to lose. That feeling is hard to lose. I also dared to approach Rayya two months ago because four months ago my friend was married to his lover. Well then I planned to meet with Rayya.” Ariq.

“So has your meeting two months ago been arranged by you?” ask papa Imran.

Ariq smiled then nodded, “Well, it was arranged by me. But I did not expect fate to side with me at that time by leaving only one empty seat in the restaurant and the empty seat was on the table Rayya.” Ariq.

Papa Imran smiled hearing that, “It seems that fate brought you together. So I hope you guys are happy son.” said papa Imran.

“Thank you pah.” Ariq.

Papa Imran nodded. He did not expect that the story of his second daughter was so interesting. The man in front of him is indeed a man who has been destined to be the soul mate of his daughter because they were tested first and then met each other. Knowing each other and communicating.

Returning to the room, Rayya had just finished her bath and immediately exited the bathroom directly on the paper sodori by her sister.

Rayya also looked at Zayya smiling, “Why write on paper anyway. Can be sent and listed via mobile only.” said Rayya.

Zayya who heard his brother's words immediately patted his forehead because she realized why he had not thought of it earlier. Why is he tired of writing on paper when he can send him a message, “Ouh brother Ray I forgot to be on the list via chat only. I was so excited that I forgot that there were sophisticated items. Just bring the paper, brother. I'm tired of writing it. If I copy it again on my phone I'll work twice. Have mercy on your sister, brother. I wrote it pretty and neat. You will have no trouble reading it.” Zayya said while giving the paper away.

Rayya just looked at the paper and raised her eyebrows. Rayya headed for the wardrobe and picked her clothes, “Oh sister. Just bring the paper. I'll keep it in your bag. Which bag will you bring?” tanya Zayya immediately picked the bag.

Rayya also sighed to see her sister who was busy choosing the bag, “Huh, deck can you just take a photo of the paper and send it to sister's phone. Ribet really should use paper all.” Rayya.

Zayya who heard his brother's words immediately realized that he was fooled again. Why didn't he think about it again. Zayya also patted her forehead again, “What is unthinkable?” guess Rayya.

Zayya also nodded weakly, “Kak, why my brain is suddenly slow like this. Ahh, I suck. Why didn't I think about that earlier. Thanks brother you saved my dandruff.” Zayya immediately stopped her activity choosing a bag and immediately took her phone and took a photo of the paper and sent it to Rayya.

“So brother. I sent it. Sent.” Zayya smiled grimly.

Rayya smiled as she shook her head. Zayya is indeed sometimes slow when responding to something especially if in a hurry. But he is very intelligent when it comes to academic grades.

“I want to take a shower first ahh. Thank you brother Ray, you want me to bother today. I'll take a shower first.” Zayya then kissed Rayya's cheek and immediately ran towards the bathroom.

Rayya immediately wiped her cheeks, “Ish deck. Brother's face so stinky jigong deh.” Rayya said while Zayya was in the bathroom hearing it just laughed.

Rayya also immediately put on her care and make thin-thin makeup that she can. After that he took his phone which was still on charge. He took it off and immediately opened the whatsapp application a million people. He immediately opened a message from Zayya and was immediately shocked to see the many lists in the photos sent by his sister.

“Gosh, did this just highlight its name. Well, he's smart to drain my pockets, too. I just take a piece of chocolate and see what I have to trade this list for. It's shopping for a month where there's skincare too. Jeez Zayya you are indeed smart to take advantage of the opportunity.” Rayya said while shaking her head it will be her sister's behavior. He wanted to be angry but not angry. Be sincere. Maybe stay this time she'll do that for her sister. Pleasing sister.

After that, Rayya put down her phone and went to the closet to see the bag that she will carry today. But nothing fits, “Hum, want to borrow a bag have a sister. There is no yes.” Rayya.

Rayya also took her phone and sent a chat to Nayya to borrow her brother's bag and soon Nayya immediately reply and allow it, “Yes, brother is indeed the best deh. Now let's grab it and let's choose a suitable bag.” Rayya said take her phone and out to take Nayya's bag in the closet of her brother's bag that is still in the house has not been moved to her home.

Rayya also went out to the prayer room as well as a relaxing room and also the room where the closet is located. Rayya passed by her papa and Ariq who was talking, “Where is she going?” papa Imran said. Ariq who heard the words of papa Imran just smiled.

“Hum, why isn't there? Did brother bring her?” rayya asked herself again and then picked up her phone and immediately sent a message to Nayya.

“Yeah, how old brother reply anyway?” said Rayya while looking at her chat that has not been read by her brother.

“Ahh sucks!” said Rayya.

Suddenly mama Fara came in, “Nak, what are you doing here? Why not ready yet. Poor Ariq has been waiting for a long time.” Mama Fara.

Rayya also looked at her mother with sadness, “Nah, that's the problem mah. Rayya is ready. Only bags that are not.” Rayya.

“Yaa just take your bag. I have a lot of.” Mama Fara.

“Nobody matches mah with Rayya's clothes. Want to borrow a sister's been approved but the key to the closet is not there. Already asked where the key is but not yet sister reply chat.” Rayya.

“Ish, I didn't say there was a key mom. Why is the key moved. It's usually there.” Point Rayya at the key storage she knows.

“Mama has moved it son. Just grab the bag you like and lock it and put it back in its place so your brother will when he looks for it he knows. Ohya you too don't be long. Poor Ariq who is waiting for you. Very long.” Mama Fara.

“Kak Ariq definitely knows mah. His own fault came without notice. If only he had said he would come before maybe Rayya had changed clothes from earlier.” Rayya.

“Ya is up to you.” said Mama Fara then she immediately out leaving her second daughter was busy choosing a bag.

“Nah, this is suitable.” Rayya said after finding a bag that she thought fit her clothes.

“You guys be careful on the road nak.” order mama Fara.

“Good mah, thanks for the food.” Ariq. Well, before this they ate first.

Mama Fara nodded, “Ohiya, where is Rayya? Ahh the boy. Long time right.” said mama Fara.

“Kak, where are we going?” rayya asked back because he was curious where Ariq would take him.

“Are you very curious where are we going? Though brother already said that it was a surprise.” Ariq.

Rayya also sighed, “Huh, can't I know? Rayya is very curious about this.” said Rayya.

“You will find out later. Think of this as your patient testing.” Ariq.

Rayya who heard Ariq's words also stared intently at Ariq, “Ya alright. I think I need to learn patience. Just focus on driving. I'm gonna take a little nap. Honestly I'm sleepy.” Rayya then chose to close her eyes.

“Aren't you worried I'll do you while you sleep?” ariq smiled.

“If you dare to do that then it will be a sin for you. I've trusted you that you're not that kind of man. So if you betray the trust I've given you. That's your problem.” Rayya said while closing her eyes.

Ariq who heard that also smiled, “Ya has gone to sleep. I'm kidding too. I still know the limits of not doing that to the girl I love. You sleep. I'll build you if we've arrived.” Gentle Ariq.
