JODOH: First Love

48. like him

Iqbal gave a bottle of mineral water that had been in his possession to Raya, then took a plastic bag containing the medicine in Raya's hands.

Raya just pay attention to what is being done by Iqbal. Iqbal then swiftly unwrapped the medicine he took from the plastic bag. Take out one pill from the package, and give it to Raya. To be immediately drunk by Raya.

***

Raya who is still paying attention to Iqbal activities in front of him. Raya felt like she saw the figure of Rashid who was so considerate but sometimes cold.

They are the same but in different ways. Iqbal was attentive and also chatty. Iqbal will continue to judge Raya when he shows his attention. Very different from Rashid who will only speak a thousand languages.

Raya is like seeing the figure of Rashid in Iqbal with a warmer and more relaxed version.

"God!" Raya was shocked by the clap on her shoulder.

Iqbal who had been calling Raya. But not in response at all, a little annoyed too.

"I'm that good doctor!" Iqbal said confidently while handing the plastic bag of medicine to Raya.

"PD's wasteful!" Said Raya, while walking away from Iqbal, from her seat earlier.

"Confidence is necessary, right?" Iqbal asked while slightly shouting.

Raya, who was sleepy and lazy to respond to Iqbal again, chose to walk quickly back to her room to rest.

Arriving in the room, Raya did not immediately sleep. He chose to reopen the phone he had been staying on the table.

When he had just opened his phone, there were some missed calls from Rashid as well as some of his friends.

Raya feels guilty for disappearing from all circles of her life related to Rashid, including Beni and Yana. They both knew Rashid, even if only briefly.

Raya just wanted to ignore those calls. But when Raya was about to put down her phone again, there was another new call coming in from Rashid.

Raya just let the call, up to many times. Finally, with a heavy heart Raya finally chose to pick up the phone.

Raya allowed her to sit first, justifying the hair tie she used. Raya took a deep breath to just calm her heart for a moment.

"Where are you?" Ask Rashid quickly without having time Raya said anything, let alone ask news, even greetings were not spoken by Rashid.

Raya had just put her phone in the ear directly at the todong with such a question, a little startled.

"Why?" Tanya is a little upset.

"You can answer my question with the right answer?" Rashid asked, "Not even with more questions?" Rashid.

" It could actually be!" Speak Raya in a slightly more relaxed voice.

Raya wanted to try talking as quietly as possible, which she could. So that it does not seem clear that he did love this friend long ago.

"Where are you now, Ay?" Repeat Rashid with a soft voice.

"Why are you asking where I am now?" Tanya Raya again, who also began to anger herself with Rashid's attitude.

From a phone call, Rashid growled with anger. Then take a long breath. Rashid neutralized his anger which had already started to rise.

"Oh, we need to talk!" Said Rashid in a softer voice, so Raya wanted to talk.

"Speak about what?" Tanya Raya who thought there was nothing she needed to talk about anymore with Rashid.

Everything was done since Rashid left first to return to Jakarta and chose to propose to another woman. Who are both friends of them.

"We must meet!" Rashid said firmly.

"Wait for me to go back to Jakarta, if you really want to talk to me" Raya said.

Raya wants to avoid her meeting with Rashid. Raya now still could not release all her heart to Rashid.

"When are you coming home, Ay?" Rashid asked in a voice more excited to hear Raya will return to Jakarta.

That means that soon Rashid can see and talk to Raya.

"Maybe next year?" Raya said doubtfully.

"Yes, maybe next year I'll go back to Jakarta." Raya Raya Relaxed.

Raya does intend to return to Jakarta when the task here is finished. Sooner next year, or maybe even longer.

"Can't!" Rasyid.

"Can't do what?" Tanya Raya's.

"I can't wait until next year, it's still a long time, Ay!" Said Rashid in a quieter and more frustrated voice. "We need to talk soon!" Rashid.

"We can talk on this phone now, if you think next year is still a long time!" Raya Saying.

Raya could not bear to give the address of her residence to Rashid if this continued. That taste is still in the heart of Raya. Not completely gone from his heart.

"Oh, plis!" Please Rashid with such a weak voice.

"Here we go tomorrow again, okay?" Said Raya tired.

Raya thought about what exactly Rashid still wanted to talk to her about. Isn't everything done.

Raya doesn't want much hope anymore, like she used to. Imagining something that ends is never something with hope.

"You'll definitely disappear again like yesterday, Ay!" Rashid said sadly.

Rashid is like someone who will lose his life when he hears Raya is going to hang up.

"I still have work tomorrow!" Say Raya looking for a reasonable reason.

"You sent me the address of where you live now, simply!" Rasyid's remarks forced Raya to send her address.

"You can ask my mom and dad if you really want to know my address and meet me!" Speak Raya, then quickly turn off the phone.

Raya no longer wants to prolong the conversation with Rashid, which will end up hurting another woman who is her own friend. Hani's.

Raya is also a woman, so Raya knows what kind of pain it would be if the men who are with her were looking for another woman when they were about to get married.

Raya had not been able to tell his address with his parents. Raya just made Rashid search without a sure thing.

Raya saw the clock on her phone, still showing at 01.15 in the morning. But Raya can't sleep at all.

Raya is still devastated with her own heart. Raya could not close her eyes quietly.

'What exactly do you want, Rashid!' Furious to himself.

Raya looked at the screen of her cellphone which was turned on and then turned off again by Raya. That mess is how Raya has felt since. Since receiving a phone call from Rashid.
