Certainty of Love

“At that time he said that someday he would have one flower that only one.” could have

Rayya who heard that was confused and looked at Aini's mother. Aini's mother who was in Rayya's eyes smiled. He knew that the current girl before him was being confused by his words.

“You know at this time you must be confused by what he means. Same thing. At that time my mother was also confused by what she meant. But now I understand what he meant at the time. Flowers are beautiful. She calls herself a flower. The flower he owns. You are the flower boy.” said Aini's mother.

Rayya was more surprised to hear Aini's mother's words, “Don't be surprised so because you need to know that she has always told a girl to mother since the inauguration. Mother listened to her complaints even though she did not know what the girl looked like. But mom always listened. But at one point he stopped talking about the girl he always told me about in a cheerful mood. He was moody and no longer told stories. It turned out that time he was heartbroken.” Said Aini's mother.

Rayya who heard that became curious who the girl who made Ariq could be heartbroken, “Do you know who the girl is? Rayya is curious who the girl who made brother Ariq heartbroken.” Rayya.

Aini's mother smiled because she realized that the girl in front of her was innocent when yesterday she had just graduated cumlaude, “If you are wondering who the girl asked herself. I'm sure he'll definitely tell you.” Aini's mother replied with a smile on her lips.

Rayya nodded, “Son, you must remember. You're the only one she loves and no other girl.” Said Aini's mother as if giving a code to Rayya. But Rayya smiles whether she catches the code or not. I don't know what his smile means, only he knows.

“Rayya trust kok bu.” Rayya then saw a very handsome man in casual clothes matching the clothes he was wearing coming out of his room walking up to them with a smile framed on his face.

“What are you talking about? How can you be familiar?” Ariq asked in a kepo tone and then took Rayya's mineral water and immediately sat down and drank the water.

“Kaakkk .. it's mine.” Rayya protest saw the fate of the remaining mineral water that had been drunk by Ariq.

Ariq stopped the drinking and looked at Rayya confusedly and raised the glass of mineral water, “This is yours?” ask stupid Ariq.

Rayya also sighed and just pursed her lips, “Iya son. It's hers. Why don't you take the new one.” Aini's mother answered her son's question with a smile.

“Gosh I don't know ma'am. I think it belongs to mom.” Ariq.

Rayya sighed again, “Huh, that's it. Rayya take the one that just. Next time don't be so reckless.” Rayya said still leaving a look of annoyance on her face.

Ariq who saw Rayya's expression was like to laugh but he held it because he did not want his girl to be more upset with him which ended up a bad end for him, “Ya already sorry ya.” Ariq apologized. Rayya just glanced at Ariq and nodded slowly to answer Ariq's apology.

“Already. Don't argue anymore. You guys want to walk. Yes let's go there. Ariq take good care of the future daughter-in-law of this mother. Not in anything else. Don't be naughty and don't get angry.” Aini's mother gave me a wud.

Ariq nodded with a smile then immediately stood up and approached his mother to say goodbye. Ariq immediately kissed the back of her mother's hand and was followed by Rayya. The two immediately say goodbye and headed for the exit with in between by Aini's mother, ”You guys be careful on the road nak.” Aini mother's message.

Ariq and Rayya nodded, “Mother is also careful at home.” Said Ariq and Rayya together so that the two of them looked at each other and smiled. Aini's mother who saw that smiled as well.

“Already. Don't worry about mom. I can take good care of myself. Mom will be fine here.” Say Mother Aini.

Ariq and Rayya nodded then they immediately headed for the car. As before Ariq also opened the car door for Rayya and Rayya immediately entered not forgetting to say thank you. Then after that Ariq immediately got in the car also in front of the wheel. After that the two immediately waved to Aini's mother before the car drove away from the Ariq residence. Aini's mother looked at her son's car until it was no longer visible in her sight.

“Mom hope you're always happy son. I'm glad to see you smile so.” Mum Aini muttered and then immediately closed the door of her house.

In the car Rayya smiled as she stared at Ariq at a glance, “What's the matter? Why smile? Is there something on sister's face?” ask Ariq without staying focused on driving.

Rayya shook her head, “No. Big brother's handsome face. There's nothing.” Rayya.

“If it is so. Then why are you smiling? Is there anything funny or are you still thinking about the mineral water tragedy?” ask Ariq.

Rayya who heard Ariq's words now recollected her frustration a few minutes ago, “Kak, try to be honest what brother deliberately took the water or how? One impossible thing brother did not know that the water was mine whereas obviously the water was located before me.” Rayya stared at Ariq intensely to find the lie on the man's face.

Ariq smiled then nodded, “You're right deck. Brother intentionally. But you don't know the response you're gonna give that regret. Even now you're still upset. It's just mineral water. Brother will trade it if you mind.” Ariq.

“Ish it's not about changing or not brother. But .. ah, that's it. Lazy talking to brother. Just make my mood messy.” said Rayya looked at the streets with annoyance.

Ariq smiled looking at the annoyed expression on her face. He knew exactly what made the girl angry. But she somehow wanted to see Rayya's annoyed face. According to him Rayya's beauty will increase 10 times when she is upset, “Sorry! I know what makes you angry. Brother did it deliberately because he wanted to upset you. You get prettier when you're upset. So don't be upset anymore.” Ariq finally said. He does not want all his plans tonight will fall apart because only because Rayya's frustration is not overcome.

Rayya who heard Ariq's words immediately looked at the man, “If indeed you know what makes me angry then why do you keep doing it?” rayya asked still with her face down.

Ariq smiled again, “You will have heard what you said earlier. You get prettier when you're upset. So you like to see you upset. Sorry for upsetting you. Sorry!” ariq said with her funny face.

Rayya who saw that also smiled and laughed, “Th brother. It's been. I've forgiven you. Next time no more brother. Don't upset me for any reason.” Rayya.

Ariq nodded, “Alright. But no promise.” said Ariq.

Rayya who heard that smiled, “Ish sister. Don't pranking.” Rayya.

Ariq laughed and the two laughed. The two joked with each other on the way to the place of surprise that Ariq had prepared for him.

About ten minutes later they finally arrived at one of the famous restaurants among young people. Ariq immediately went down first and immediately opened the door for Rayya. Then the two immediately stepped inside. Ariq immediately took Rayya to the place he had been on the message.

As soon as entering Rayya immediately greeted by two friends of police Ariq who each beside them accompanied by a woman. But that was not Rayya's focus but on one man she knew. They looked at each other but Rayya immediately turned her eyes towards the beautiful girl beside the man she knew.

“Welcome! Event owner. We've been waiting for you guys since. Ohiya Ariq let's dong introduce to us who this beautiful girl beside you is.” Rendi.

Ariq smiled and looked at Rayya, “This is Rayyana Oktaviani. Call me Rayya my future wife.” Ariq emphasized at the end of his sentence as if giving a warning that Rayya was his only, if not his,

Rayya smiled and went back to being ordinary, “Rayya!” rayya said while cupping both his hands on his chest.

“Rendi!” said Rendi.

“And this my future wife is also called Cloe.” Then Rendi introduced the girl beside her. Cloe stood up and hugged Rayya.

“Contact!” cloe said.

Rayya complied and immediately sat down next to a girl named Cloe. Ariq also immediately sat down beside Rayya.

The girl sitting in front of Rayya stood up and extended her hand, “I'm Bella.” Bella introduced herself.

Rayya nodded, “Rayya!” abugn.

“Mas!” said Bella gave the code to her husband who stole a look at Rayya.

“I Farel husband Bella.” He looked at the woman beside him. Rayya nodded back with a smile.

“All are acquainted with each other. So can the show start sir?” asked Rendi smilingly looking at Ariq.

Ariq nodded. Rendi immediately asked the waiter to bring their order and soon the dinner was started and everything went well. Rayya becomes familiar with Cloe and Bella as friends.

“Let the women decide where to go.” Ariq looked at Rayya.

Rayya smiled, “But before that we prayed first. You guys decide where to go.” Next up Ariq.

Rayya nodded too. The men immediately stood up and headed to the mosque in the restaurant and now left the women alone.

“Rayya, you do not pray?” ask Cloe.

Rayya shook her head, “Still udzur.” Answer Rayya.

Cloe nodded, “Sama, I am also udzur. What about Bella?” cloe asked Bella because she was two months old. Bella is the wife of Farel.

“I'm also being udzur.” Answer Bella.

Cloe also nodded in understanding, “Kok, can be the same yes.” Cloe. Rayya and Bella smiled because they did not expect it.

“Eehh, now before they finish praying. We better think about where we're going.” said Cloe.

“Why should think. Let's just go to the mall. We watch. There is a new movie coming out now.” Bella.

Cloe nodded, “What do you think Rayya.” Cloe.

“Emm, good too.” Answer Rayya.

“Ya. Then we go to the mall. Come!” take Bella to her feet and get her bag.

Cloe also stood, “Come Ray!” said Cloe who saw Rayya still sitting and looked at them in confusion.

“No waiting for them to finish first?” asked Rayya plain.

“We'll make them confused looking for us. Later to the mall was more fun with fellow women. If the men come along it will be boring. They do not have extra patience. Let's just say we go first and wait for them there. We can wait for them while shopping a little. How?” Bella's proposal.

Cloe nodded in agreement, “How about you Rayya?” ask Bella.

Rayya nodded, “Ya already. Comeing! But who do we use?” ask Rayya later.

“Quiet it!” Bella showed me the car keys.

“I will drive. Let's go to mall.” Bella said happy because finally today she can go to the mall with her new friends.

Rayya and Cloe soon follow Bella. Rayya takes her phone and sends a message to Ariq.

***

Now Ariq, Ariq, Rendi and Farel had just finished praying and they went to the table they had used and immediately looked at each other because they had not found the three girls they had left behind, “Where are they?” ask Rendi.

“What they left us?” ask Rendi later.

“It looks like so.” Ariq said justifying because he did not see Rayya's bag.

“Wah, this severe. How come they left us without even asking us for permission.” Rendi.

“Sounds like this was my wife's idea. I'm sure he took them away.” Farel said.

“So we now want to find them where?” asked Rendi confused.

“We to mall.” Ariq later said after reading the message on his phone.

“You know where?” is from ask Rendi.

“My wife-to-be sent a message that they were to mall.” Reply Ariq.

“Wah, it looks like your future wife is indeed very devoted. He even sent you a message. Look at my future wife she didn't even send me a message at all.” Rendi said sadly.

Ariq and Farel smiled, “That's it. Let's follow them.” said Farel. The three men immediately came out.

“My car is with my wife. I hitchhiked with you guys yeah.” Farel.

“You come with me only Rel.” Ariq said.

Farel immediately nodded then they immediately headed to their respective cars and immediately left the restaurant towards the mall.

While the three women had just arrived at the mall and now they immediately entered the mall and began to look around.

“You don't send messages to the guys right?” ask Bella.

Cloe nodded while Rayya smiled, “Ouh God. They must be on their way here. It's hard to have friends sholelah.” Bella.

Rayya smiled, “Sorry mbak.” Rayya.

Bella smiled, “That's it. It'sit's okay. They should also follow anyway. Doesn't matter. But the problem is that we can not shop as much.” Bella. Rayya and Cloe smiled and the three women began to look around at what they wanted to buy.

“Rayya, what age are you currently?” ask Bella.

“Three more months 25.” Answer Rayya.

“Ouh means you are the youngest among us.” Cloe.

Rayya looked at the two women beside her, “We are already 25.” Bella.

“Means I'll call you guys with mbak?” ask Rayya.

“Terup to you only Rayya. We can still say age. I am with you only five months away.” said Bella.

“We are three months away.” said Cloe.

“So call it as comfortable as we are.” Say Bella then.

Rayya nodded, “Alright if that is so.” Rayya.

“Ohiya, Rayya you know with brother Ariq since when?”
