"Sister Abra, I borrowed the sport bike. Tomorrow morning, one of my students will return it. All right, they're gonna take my car in the garage!" rizal said, Abra nodded without hesitation. Instead the Dew looks objected. Not because Rizal borrowed the Abra sports bike. But Rizal's return seemed sudden and seemed rushed.
"You're home tonight!" said a cold Dew, Rizal nodded with a smile. Hoping for a cool tone the Dew turns warm and allows himself to return to the pesantren.
Last night's conversation was the beginning of the struggle Rizal's story. Although Rizal never want to menghitbah Aira and choose to save the taste. But unbeknownst to Rizal, Dewun has devised a perfect plan. Dew won't kill Aira, for Rizal or anyone? Dew just wants to pave the way for a meeting between Rizal and Aira. The Dew wants to show Rizal. If there is still a chance for him to fight.
The meeting planned for Dew tonight. Dewun accidentally invites Arya and her extended family to dinner. Dewun asked Arya, to invite Fitri and Aira. Even a special Dew sent a driver, to pick up Iman and Afifa. The Dew invites everyone. So that Rizal does not suspect or feel awkward when meeting with Aira. Dewun invited everyone on the grounds of the birth of the first sons Rafan and Hanna. This particular evening, Rafan and Hanna are coming to stay the night.
Dew dinner plans are in place. Threatened to fail, should Rizal go home now. Dew feels useless, if Aira can't meet with Rizal. The teacher who keeps the taste to him. Abra actually already knew about the Dew plan. But Abra pretended not to know. Abra wants the Dew plan to run naturally and perfectly. All for the sake of the possible union between Rizal and Aira. Dew's greatest happiness, when you see Aira with the right person. Behind all his hopes. The dew will not force Aira. Because Aira has the right to determine her life path. As Rizal wants, if Aira deserves to be happy with a man who may not be him.
Dinner will start at 19:30 WIB. Rafan and Hanna have been coming since afternoon. They're party stars tonight. There are other stars that are much brighter. Abdul Rizal Saputra, the only son and famous ustad who is so respected by Dewun. Faith and the Afifa are on their way. Arya left an hour ago. But Arya stops at a place, just looking for a gift for her first great-grandchild.
"I have to go home, tomorrow morning I have an event at the boarding school. Maybe in two or three days, I'll come with Umi and Kanaya. He wants to meet you and your first grandchild!"
"Why sudden?" swamp with the cold. Abra just kept quiet with her flat gaze. Abra is completely convinced, if Dew can make Rizal stay. Without any help from him. Because Dew has a thousand ways, so that the dinner event goes well.
"So I pretend to forget or forget. Didn't I say that last night. If I was going home today, I would have come home this afternoon. Cause my car's broken and my meeting's not over. I had to stay until night. It is now 18:30 WIB. If I go home in ten minutes. I must be on the road tonight!"
"Then go home tomorrow morning!" suhut Dew is cold and pushy. Rizal turned towards Abra. Eye signals asking for Abra's help. In order to persuade Dewun and allow him to come home tonight. But Rizal's efforts were in vain. When he saw, Abra shrugged both of his shoulders. Abra's signal doesn't know her.
"Sister, let me go home tonight!" persuade Rizal to listen, The silent Dew does not speak Rizal's words.
Even with the rest, Dew walked away to the kitchen. Leaving Rizal and Abra speechless. Rizal walks towards Abra, but Abra's attitude is the same as Dewun. Abra leaves Rizal, where Abra walks towards the middle room. With his leisure, Abra sat down while opening his smartphone.
"Gus Rizal, stay a little while. At least until my son's funeral is over. I want Gus Rizal to lead the prayer!" said Rafan, while walking toward Rizal. Rafan comes out of his room, just when there is a debate between Dewun and Rizal.
"Don't call me Gus, that call is just for my civics!" rizal said cynically, as if angry with Rafan's call. But actually, Rizal feels uncomfortable is considered special. If he's among the Dew family. Rizal prefers to be called like an ordinary person.
"Well, Rizal, stay for your handsome grandson!" goda Dewang. Dew walked carrying dishes for dinner.
Rizal sighed, clearly Rizal was not struggling. He has to go home, but refuses Dewun and Rafan's request. Not the right thing and seem disrespectful. Finally Rizal nodded with a slight sense of heaviness. Rizal decided to go home after dinner. At least Rizal still appreciates Dewun's request and does not disappoint his foster brother.
"That's my sister!" sahut Dewun happy, Abra turned with a smile of victory. Abra had expected, Rizal would stay for the sake of Dewun's request.
"Wait, where are you going?" said Dewun, when he saw Rizal walking towards the door.
Rizal turned towards the Dew. Then with his leisure, Rizal lifted the key of the motor in his hand. The dew scrunched his forehead did not understand. Rizal sighed, he saw the affection of Dew that seemed to want to lock him up. But Rizal did not mind, on the contrary Rizal looked happy with the warm attitude of Dew to him.
"No need, you sit by Abra's brother. Rafan's gonna put his bike in the garage. You could run away, then go home without having dinner!" sahut Dew, Rizal stared in disbelief at the Dew. Rizal didn't expect it just for dinner. Dew locked him up, it appears Rizal shook his head weakly.
"Rafes!" call Rizal, Rafan nodded slowly while receiving the key of the motor that Rizal threw.
"Now my brother is satisfied!" rizal lantang said.
"Very satisfied!" sahut Dewang lantang.
Rizal was about to walk towards the sofa, but his footsteps came to a halt. When his heart was beating so hard. Rizal held his chest slowly, he felt something was wrong with his heartbeat. It was as if Rizal's heart would stop beating and his breathing would stop blowing. Rizal was speechless, his body rigidly unable to move.
Tap Tap Tap
"Who?" rizal's mind was confused, Rizal turned towards the entrance.
The door that was right in front of him. Rizal was able to hear, even see who came from where he stood. As of this moment, Rizal could hear the sound of footsteps. The sound that made his heart, as if it had stopped beating. Rizal continued to wait, until the owner of the step was seen.
Deg Deg Deg
"Khumaira Nabila Ikhsani, angel in my heart!" rizal's inner self, shortly after seeing Aira enter the house of Abra.
Rizal pressed down on his heart that continued to beat violently. I hope his voice stops and calms down. So that no one would realize what it was like for Aira. The veiled girl who was teasingly calm and bowed down, for the past eight years.
"He's my real brother, you're my foster brother. Tonight, I'll be a big brother to you both. I will warm your race to him. But on the other hand, I will listen to his heart. If he rejects your race, at least your race finds the end. If he accepts your race, he is ready to receive your hand. There is no compulsion, everything will run with sincerity!" said Dewun, Rizal immediately turned his head.
"Sister!" sahut Rizal in disbelief, Dew blinked his two beautiful eyes.
"All will be well!" sahut Dewun, then left Rizal riveted.
"Assalammualaikum Guz Rizal!" greet Aira lirih, while cupping her hands right in front of her chest.
"Glamma!" sahut Rizal. Aira's charm makes Rizal not warty.
"Your charm makes my world stop spinning!" batin Rizal kalut's.
