God's Choice of Mate

Meet Roy's sister

My and Wirda's steps came to a standstill immediately upon discharge from the hospital.

"Son Rani,"Call Mr. Budi.

"Yes sir.What's the matter sir?,"tanyaku.

"I was assigned by Mr. Suprapto his grandfather Mas Reno to take Rani to prison to meet Mas Roy" he replied.

Wirda and I glanced at each other and raised their eyebrows with the intention of giving each other a code to join or not with Mr. Budi.

"How's Ran?Are we with Mr Budi?" asked Wirda looking at me waiting for my answer.

I thought for a moment.

"Son Rani come along, there will be Mr. Gukul who will help take care of all the files and things that Mas Roy needs," said Mr. Budi.

I still sit still and think.

Scared that grandpa was making a new play, I thought.

Mr. Budi looked at me.

He saw the anxiety on my face.

"Son Rani need not be afraid.Mas Reno or other Suprapto family members are not in the car.Let's son Rani, we leave now," he asked while instructing myself to get into the car immediately.

Mr. Budi looked at me for pity.

"Son Rani needs me to help?" he asked.

"Hmmm.no sir, thank you," I said.

By saying Bismillah from the heart.I solidify the heart stepped with a little limp assisted Wirda towards the car.

Arriving in the car, there was Mr. Gukul who was sitting in the front seat of the car.

He looked at me while smiling briefly.

Mr. Budi helped me open the car door.

Wirda and I sat in the middle seat.

Mm-mm....

The car drove too.

However, some moments stop because of traffic jams.

"Why Mr Budi?,"why me.

"There is a road repair, Mr. Rani," replied Mr. Budi.

Cukup lama kami terjebak kemacetan yang cukup parah.

Until Pak Gukul told Pak Budi to take alternative routes.

However, the journey to where Kak Roy was held grew further.

Hmmmmm.

My chest skipped a beat every once in a while and then went away.

Cold sweat enveloped my body instantly.

"Ran, are you okay?" asked Wirda as she held my forehead with her palm.

"Yes Wir" I replied.

"But you look pale Ran and your hands are cold" Wirda said anxiously.

"It's okay Wir, in my God I'll be fine.I just feel worried and anxious.Entah..what's bothering my mind.My heart is suddenly not calm, as if something bad has happened," I said.

I looked in front of the car.

I saw the reflection of the rearview mirror in the eye car Mr. Budi and Mr. Gukul glanced at us.

They look suspicious, my inner.

As if something was strange and they were hiding, I murmured in my heart.

"Sir, have you been there for a long time?.It seems like from earlier we just circled around this road, "wirda said as she looked out the window of the car glass.

"Akhh.this..nak Wirda....Anu's...Mr. Budi forgets the way, so this..bingung..," he said stammered and nervous.

While Mr. Gukul focused on pressing his mobile phone and occasionally glanced without comment.

"Aduh. ..pantesan Pak Budi.Yaudah Pak Budi from here directly turn right.There will be a crossroads of Mr. Budi take left.Wirda often kok through this road.So, the route Wirda has memorized,"said Wirda while looking towards Mr. Budi.

"Iy..iy..iya nak Wirda, be ready," replied Mr. Budi tense.

I was just speechless looking at Mr. Budi's strange behavior like never before.

It seemed like he sensed that I was starting to notice him and suspected him.

Mmmmmm.....

The car went back fast.

Arriving at the detention house where Kak Roy was detained.By quickly Pak Gukul went inside leaving me and Wirda.

While Mr. Budi permission to go somewhere.

Slowly withstanding the pain Wirda helped me walk.

But not how long I walked.

I saw Grandpa and Mr. Sugeng from a distance.

My steps stopped looking at the two of them who were talking to Mr. Gukul and one of the men who stood beside Mr. Gukul while carrying a map and a large bag.

"What's the matter Ran?why stop the way?" asked Wirda looking at me.

"Hmmm.it Wir there is grandfather and papa Reno," I said while pointing at them.

Wirda turned his head, "Iya Ran, really they.Kira why did they come here huh?," said Wirda while guessing the situation.

"I don't know Wir, but I don't feel good" I said.

"So how's Ran?we go straight inside or wait until they're gone?" Wirda asked.

"We just wait there Wir, we wait until they leave" I said, pointing to the empty waiting chair.

"Ok then, let's go there" Wirda said, leading me along.

Wirda and I sat looking around.

However, the voice of a man disturbs my hearing.

I seemed to know the voice, my inner voice while searching for the source of the sound it came from.

Well, not far from me and Wirda sat down and I saw a grown man who was old but not too old calling with his cell phone.

The batik shirt I know looks like, I thought.

Akh.iya it was Mr. Budi, I replied in my heart.

So with curiosity and enthusiasm my suspicions to Mr. Budi then I rose from sitting while approaching and eavesdropping on his conversation.

"Ran, where are you going?" asked Wirda inquisitively.

"Stttttttttt..," said Wirda to turn down the volume.

Wirda nodded in understanding and then stood beside me.

"Where are you going?" Wirda repeated his question while whispering to me.

"That's what you see," I said slowly while pointing.

"That's Mr Budi!" said Wirda.

"Betul Wir, I feel like there is something strange with Mr. Budi.Like something he hid.You feel not it as if it makes us linger towards here," I said.

"Yes Ran, I think so too."

"Well then to make sure our suspicions are correct or not.We listen to the speaker with whom," I said to take Wirda.

Wirda nodded in agreement with my invitation.Slowly we both approached Mr. Budi to eavesdrop on his speaker from behind the wall near where he stood.

"Yes Ma'am, my father's orders have been run.I and Rani's son just arrived here.According to my father's request to make a trip here longer so that Rani's son does not interfere with the plans of Mr. Suprapto and Mr. Sugeng,"said Mr. Budi reply to someone's question from his mobile phone.

Wirda and I looked at each other.

"Ran, what you're guessing," he whispered.

"Yes" I replied in a whisper.

Then we again listened to Mr. Budi's conversation with someone from his phone line.

"It looks like the wedding is over, Mom.Just when Rani's son gets here" said Mr. Budi.

A wedding? Whose wedding? I asked in my heart while looking at Wirda who also looked confused.

"Son Roy and his family are still in Bu, along with his wife who he just married in series.And son Rani has not known this news.He must be surprised to know.Then I hung up his phone Mom,"said Mr. Budi while turning off his mobile phone and put it in his shirt pocket.

Dregmgg......

My breath felt tight and severed.

O God, what more game are they making now, I said in my heart.

"Ran, did I not hear wrong earlier.Sister Roy married?but with whom?and why all of a sudden?" asked Wirda in surprise.

I was still speechless and unable to respond to Wirda's question.

"I'm sure Ran, this must be Kak Reno's family plan.They want to keep you away from Kak Roy and force him to marry Siri to someone.But who is that woman?What is Maam Riska? Akh.pasti wasn't.

Then who?" said Wirda while thinking.

"Let's Wir, we ask Mr. Budi before he leaves" I asked while holding Wirda's hand.

"Wait for Ran, are you sure we ask Mr Budi?Is he going to tell us the truth?" asked Wirda doubtfully.

"I also doubt Wir, but at least we're trying to figure out what really happened to Brother Roy" I said with teary eyes.

"Alright if you think it's good, Come on!," Wirda pulled my hand.

Before Mr. Budi stepped away.

Me and Wirda stopped him.

Mr. Budi was so very surprised to see the presence of me and Wirda who came suddenly.

"Son Rani..nak Wirda," he said nervously.

"Sir Budi we will not mince words.We have heard all the conversations between Pak Budi and Bu Sri.For that Rani please Mr. Budi tell the truth.What happened to Kak Roy, Pak Pak?please tell me the truth sir, "my eyes are glazed over.

Mr. Budi looks agitated and scared.

But from the look in his eyes he was sorry to see me.

"Rani please Sir, say.Pak Budi need not be afraid.Rani will not tell anyone if Pak Budi told Rani," I said.

Pak Budi was silent as he swallowed his saliva.His face looked tense with sweat fluttering his forehead.

"Yes Mr. Budi, does Mr. Budi not pity to see Rani?," Wirda said to help me pressure Mr. Budi.

After a long silence.

Mr. Budi also spoke while wiping the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief that he took from his pants pocket.

"Actually you are afraid to say this.But Naruni father said, that you have to tell son Rani.

During this time the father who helped son Roy gave every detail information about the state of Rani after son Roy and his family were alienated by the Suprapto family to Switzerland."

"So, suddenly Kak Roy came home during the wedding ceremony was also with the help of Mr Budi?," I asked.

"Yes son, consider Mr. Budi to be a spy son Roy."

"And did all that.Is Mr. Budi not afraid of being caught with the Suprapto family?," I asked again.

"At first there must be fear son.But you are sure and depend on God alone.Actually the father had long known the evil plan of the Suprapto family to the son of Rani.However, the father was convinced,you are confused to say it to son Rani because you have no evidence.Therefore, you divide everything to son Roy," he said sadly.

"Then why did Roy have to get married?" I asked again.

"That's part of their plan also to keep away the son Roy and son Rani.They especially Mr. Suprapto and Mr. Sugeng threatened to hurt son Rani if nak Roy did not obey their orders, which is to force nak Roy to do siri's marriage to the daughter of their business colleague who turns out her daughter has long liked Roy."

"O Allah, Rani thought by obeying what they wanted.They will let go and not disturb the life of Brother Roy but again they are so cunning and evil.Hiksss.....kak Roy's life is destroyed and damaged because of Rani.Huhuhuhuhuhu.

Mr. Budi looked at me pity.

Same with Wirda.

"Here Ran, this is not your fault.This is all part of the destiny that God has set.You do not cry Ran, I became a sad follow,"wirda persuaded me to calm down.

"Yes son, really what is said son Wirda.Nak Rani must be strong and should not be sad.Nak Roy did all this because he wanted to son Rani is fine because son Roy really loves son Rani,"said Mr. Budi.

Mr. Budi continued his words.

"The late grandfather nak Rani always helped Pak Budi's family and facilitated all the needs of Pak Budi and his family.He was a very good person until his kindness was used by Mr. Suprapto to destroy his life,"said Mr. Budi.

Hearing Mr. Budi's words I was surprised and looked at him.

"Sir Budi how can I know about Rani's grandfather?,"I asked curiously while being so eager.

"The father and mother of Mr. Budi used to work at the residence of the late grandfather son Rani's house.

He never distinguishes between Pak Budi and his only son the late Pak Sugeng.And Pak Budi knows all the crimes that Pak Suprapto committed to grandfather son Rani ,father and mother son Rani.But once again Mr. Budi can not do anything.

Therefore Mr. Budi works undercover as a driver in the Suprapto family to collect evidence of their crimes, son" explained Mr. Budi at length.

My tears are flowing.

Tesss...tesss ...

Mr. Budi rubbed my head slowly.

"Pak Budi owes a lot to the family of the son of Rani.Especially the late grandfather of Rani is Mr. Widiyanto.Nak Rani does not need to feel alone Mr. Budi with you,nak Rani has to be patient because of the limited ability of Mr. Budi and hopefully Rani will understand it," he said slowly.

"Thank you sir" I said as I wiped my tears.

"Yes, we go in so that Mr. Suprapto and Mr. Sugeng do not suspect.But, Rani son walked first with the new Wirda son after that Mr. Budi followed,"saran Pak Budi.

Wirda and I nodded and left Mr. Budi.

But I and Wirda did not go inside.

Roy came out with his parents.

And of course Mr. Sugeng, Kakek and Mr. Gukul as well as his assistant and some other people I do not know were there.

I stopped staring at the shabby and limp face of Brother Roy from a distance.

He looked back at me with a cold and deep look.

I saw a line of sadness clearly drawn on his face.

My heart feels so sad to see it that way.

He was near me but felt further away.

It was as if such a great distance separated me and Brother Roy.

I'm sorry brother, because I'm Roy's brother who has to have continuous difficulties, I'm in my heart.

My eyes glazed.

Wirda took my hand to make me strong.

"Rani ...," yelled someone calling me.

My daydream jolts looking for the source of the voice calling my name.

"Ran, how are you?," he called.

"Rere!," I was surprised.

He hugged me tightly.

"Over time we don't meet Ran, I miss you," he said looking at me.

"Who is Ran?," asked Wirda curiously.

"Oh...Wir, this is Rere.My good friend in Junior High," I said.

"And knowing Re, this is Wirda my best friend too."

They both knew each other.

"What are you doing here Re?" I wondered.

Rere seemed to blush in embarrassment and gerogi answered my question.

He changed a lot both appearance and attitude, I said in my heart.

Wirda and I looked at each other.

"Hmmm....Ran, I just did a marriage contract?, "he said.

"Wedding?,"however.

"Yes, recently married in series because suddenly.That's my husband Roy's name," Rere said as he pointed at Kak Roy.

"HAh!," Wirda said in shock.

I was silent and glued.

My lips vibrate.

The stabbing pain.

Grandfather and Mr. Sugeng waved to me with a cynical smile.

While Roy looked up at me.

O Allah, what other games did Grandpa and Mr. Sugeng plan to play.

I'm limp.

Bruckkk....

My body is slow and limp.

I'm fallin.
