CHAPTER 10
CONTINUATION OF RELATIONSHIP

“Yesterday, I met Aila. Ma's. He's his sister Raya,” said Daren while eating his rice. It was natural to have dinner together. However, it feels incomplete because Sella and Papa are abroad.
Next to Daren, Rachel is eating her dinner. The boy's getting more beautiful. His face was funny when he was a kid.
“Nagot met Raya?” ask Mama Renata.
Women who have been half a century is deliberately in Indonesia. The reason is because there is Rachel. Sella is still busy with her business and is only back in two weeks. While her husband, can not go home because of a lot of business there.
If his granddaughter was left alone, Daren would not be able to take care of her. At a minimum, he will wait for Sella to return to Indonesia and he will leave his grandson.
“No, said Aila still in Japan,” he replied. Daren recalled the message he sent to Raya a few days ago. To date, the woman has not responded to the message. “Partially I met Aila because she said she wanted an internship, then I offered her an internship in the office aja,”
Daren's last message to Raya did not change. Only the symbol has been read that he received. Is Raya not interested in replying to his message? Or because he rarely holds a cell phone?
Yes, maybe, the woman is quite rarely holding her phone. As Daren recalled, Raya even more often deactivated her phone since long ago. So, that was Daren's consequence when he wanted to contact Raya.
Fortunately, he had exchanged messages with Aila. The sister of Raya told me that Raya today is busy taking care of her transfer. But when Daren offers to help, Aila refuses.
Maybe Raya told Aila not to allow Daren. Maybe, Raya is not a woman who likes to be helped by anyone. He will try himself without asking for help from others. Just like before.
However, the attitude of the Kingdom like that made him a little worried. When the two first met, Daren knew that Raya was waiting for someone she had met at that time as well.
And from the man's gaze, Daren concluded that Raya had a relationship with him. He that Daren was referring to was that man. A man who is no stranger to her.
But Daren has not dared to ask Raya, let the two flow like before. At the reward of the meeting, Daren was happy not playing. Next, he won't ask for much.
“Papa,” Rachel's voice disperse Daren who is cool daydreaming. “Acel want to play with Onti Raya,”
Rachel did not know that the man she called Papa wanted the same thing. He wants to visit Raya. Wanting to joke like seven years ago, wanting to ruffle the girl's hair like it used to. But he can't. A woman who dares to read a message from him without a reply is like staying away.
“If Onti Raya does not work, we play with, yes” this time Renata who gives understanding to Rachel. “Kok Acel tumben want to meet Onti Raya?”
Renata used to ask that. Especially if you do not want to see the reaction of Daren who is his biological child.
“Acel is lonely, Onti Raya can be invited to play with dolls,” said Rachel who occasionally eats her food. “Onti Raya stay here, Uti”
Daren just cleared his throat, he began to understand the flow of the conversation that his mother started. “Ehm, Rachel already code you” Renata smile back to Rachel. “Try Rachel asked Papa, he said Papa wants Onti Raya here too,”
“Truly Papa?” Daren glanced at his mother who was smiling amusedly because she was working on Daren. “Come, Pa. Take Onti Raya,”
Meanwhile, Rachel, she had already run towards Daren's room to wait for her Papa to clear up. “Yang now do not be rash, you” said Renata.
“Whatever why, Ma?” ask Daren this time.
“Raya not only has you in her world,” Daren frowned, she did not understand what her mother said.
“Means Mama?”
Renata sighed, indeed this Daren should be explained in as much detail as possible. Otherwise, this child will misunderstand and lead to fatal mistakes. Things like this happen quite often, therefore Renata must continue to warn Daren.
“You saw that guy with Raya, didn't?” everything Daren thought of earlier was as if it had been reworked by his mother.
“Know that there is a guy, but about who he is, I don't know,” Daren replied honestly. “Mama know him?”
Think of Mama as an answer, “Kaknya Fero,” Daren trying to remember who Fero Mama meant. For all Daren knows, Fero is Sella's future husband who will be married to her sister in June.
But, what is it?
“Fero would-be Sella?” Mama nodded again. “Serious?”
“Mama must answer how many times?” Daren. “Mean, if you don't want to lose a rival, don't be rash and don't be slow,”
“He is Deketin Kingdom too?” Mother nodded. “Raya will return to me, Ma. Believe, deh.”
The pinch from Renata made Daren complain, he turned to look at his mother. “You don't habitually sneeze people, Daren! Didn't you see that Raya and Reza are so close?!”
“Raya will keep walking to me, Ma. She loves me, I can see that she is still very interested in me,” the thing that her son just said made Renata careless.
“Do not until you regret again, yes, Daren. My mom reminds me not to look down on others more than you. You don't know Raya. Three years you, just wasted. Reza could be happier Raya, than you,” Mama's words jolted Daren's heart. I can't believe what her mother said just now.
“Mama more agree Reza equals Raya?”
“If you look at you now, yes Mama more agree Raya with Reza, lah. You yourself don't look serious!” Daren put on a dislike face after hearing the words of his mother who was more defending Reza who was not his son.
“Already, yes, Daren. Mama is tired of having to take care of your love story that is always kayak gini. What a hard thing anyway, starting small things with often-often hakutin Raya.”
“The problem, Raya did not reply to my message, Ma.” Bela Daren's.
“That means, he wants to see your effort, Daren”
Daren cleaned his hands and took a drink in the refrigerator. After drinking some firm water, Daren again sat down at the dinner table to wait for his Mama.
“You work not for long, yes. If you can make a phone call Raya, who knows there is progress,” that Mama said only Daren made the wind then only.
Do I have to call Raya?
I don't know, Daren doesn't want to look too much like a man begging for the love of an Araya Caitlin.
