Already a week his mother was in Semarang and as usual Raffa always prepared all the needs of the school sisters in place of the role of his mother.Yesterday, all students received email notifications from the school about all the names that passed the exam. And Raffa became the second champion in his class.
"Congratulations, son!, thank God you are the second champion in school. Mama's proud of you"
" Don't forget to pray, take the brothers"
That message that his mother sent yesterday, it is definitely who else if not Kinan who always reports to him, but he only replies with a yes answer. When his mother wanted to call, he never picked up. I don't know why he talks to his parents.
His father always leaves early to take care of the company, sometimes he goes to Bogor to check the progress of the apartment that is running. Since there was no mother Navysah, she did not feel at home and always put her children to Raffa who was more patient than her. He was dizzy to see his son who always ran here and there tirelessly, screaming and crying every day.
Raffa today wants to go to Kinan's house, wants to speak four eyes so that he will refuse an arranged marriage with her, already one week ago he called Kinan but always not appointed, he said, he thought Kinan was avoiding him.
He twitched his slightly dizzy head, before his school sisters were sure they would make a mess of the house, run nonstop and fight, and he could only sigh harshly. Budhe Salma offers a glass of warm green tea for her to relax.
"Drink den, mothers if dizzy the same children usually always drink green tea" said budhe Salma.
"Thank you budhe" he sipped tea and a snack of biscuits.
"If the mother goes the sisters must be unruly, fighting and crying continues but if there is a mother once reprimand and direct plotting silence all hehehe" said budhe Salma,he knew every day the Navysah custom in his son. "Mother was very patient and faced the Inca and Fafa, if you must have been emotional that the Inca and Fafa fought like that" he pointed to his master's son who was fighting over toys. "Luckily den Raffa was patient, the sisters wanted to obey aden. I don't somehow own this house. Sometimes budhe and mbak Nita are not able to run chasing non-Inka with Fafa, they are very agile if they run"
"Yes budhe, they are indeed incarnations of horse stealth, their legs are very agile and nimble, hehehe "slut Raffa.
"Aden is all" he said.
"Here the deck" he said. Inka did not care about her brother calling, she was still engrossed in her Barbie doll which was out of shape because it was mutilated by Fafa.
"Nur Inka Ahmad" exclaimed Raffa, he raised his voice so that his sister could hear him. " Khafa, Khalif Ahmad" he continued. All his sisters approached, he knew when his name was called in full meant that the call had to be obeyed.
"Yes mas" replied the Inca.Three of his sisters came over.
"Let's eat first, here's the bribe spent it school"
"No ah!, Haha also does not go to school, he is on holiday in Semarang. The Inca is not invited" grunts. He prepared to run again, playing with his puppets but Raffa's swift hands were able to prevent it.
"You're bribed or want to be glared at Davi's father, choose where?"
Inca just puffed her cheeks, she was afraid to deal with her father who always nagged with her. "Just like Raffa" he said
"Try here, where's his back. The battery was mas matiin first let in the charger use rice was out it can play and run again" said Raffa, he said absurd as if his sister is a toy robot that has a battery on his back. "Tut.." The voice that came out of his brother's mouth as if he was disabling his robot. " Let's just fill the battery, aa.." he told his sister to open her mouth to take the bribe.
"Hihihi, mas Raffa was able to laugh also not like Alif kept silent but if there is a fart voice" continued Fafa, he glanced at his cute twins and did not respond to his words.
" Dihh! .. Second grade is still bribed. Shame" she sneered at the Inca. And his sister just scrunched her lips.
"If it's full of batteries can play again mas, not school" asked Inka while chewing food.
"Should remain a school dong, kan chucky must also pinter" Raffa mocked his sister.
"Cock chucky!" the screech doesn't accept "A pretty inca is like a barbie mas, barbie isn't chucky! " he said with annoyance.
"Hahahaha. Really mas, Kaka is more like chucky than barbie" continued Fafa. Alif laughed when his brother called the Inca Chucky.
"The evil Fafa's mom!" he started yelling and pinched his brother with anxiety.
"Sick ka, your hands are crab stealth if nyubit is sick" exclaimed Fafa.
" It's like Chucky, crab stealth hands, horse-like legs, I don't know my sister this one is a girl or a boy, the installment continues samsudin energy eh samson" said Alif while holding his smile.
"Mas Alif..!!" inka shouted, he had no one to defend him this time. He had already cried loudly because all the sisters were teasing him today.
"Cups.. Cup silence yes, Raffa mas just kidding. Kaka beautiful kayak barbie kok" he rubbed his sister's tears and hugged her warmly.
"He looked like a barbie but mutilated, Hehehe "so good Fafa, he was so happy to tease his sister to tears.
"Mas Fafa naughty mas !" he yelled, he complained to his brother.
"Yes, I'll pinch it. Let's eat the food out"he fed his sister until it ran out. And then they went to school.
" Alhamdulillah, it's so cool that the sisters have gone to school "he sighed long. And now he was preparing to go to Kinan's house.

" Just go in den, non Kinan is beberes park." he said
"Yes, thank you"he replied," Where is Erni's grandmother's lonely house? "ask.
" Granny is worshipping a deceased neighbor, klo den Khaffi school "
" Oh"he nodded his head, "I'm sorry to go to the park" he asked for permission to enter and bowed a little.
"Jeez den Raffa is handsome, smart, polite again the same old man. I agree that non Kinan is a match with Den Raffa. Aamiin. "he said a prayer while raising his hand up and adopting his do'a.
"Kinan!" raffa
He turned his head and was surprised by Raffa's arrival, he was so nervous to face the man he was about to be betrothed to. The man he loved but he couldn't say.
"Raffa" he said, he immediately washed his dirty hands, the tap water he opened now flowed profusely, he deliberately lingered while washing his hands because he was confused what Raffa would say to him.
" You deliberately avoided me" one sentence came out of Raffa's mouth. He turned to Raffa who was sitting in the gasebo, he immediately turned off the water tap and approached him.
"No!, I'm just busy" he lowered his head and squeezed his hand. And Raffa knows that Kinan is lying to him right now.
"Jawab to be honest, you can't lie to me" he replied, looking intently at the woman beside him.
"Excuse me Non, Den. This is the drink" said bi Mimin by thrusting two glasses of orange ice.
"Still bi" they said simultaneously.
"Ih, compact pisan Non equal Aden. May the soul mate, Aamiin" reply, and the two of them just look at each other.
Kinan quickly sipped his ice water to the end, he was nervous about Raffa's current whereabouts.
"You already know this matchmaking right" Raffa asked as he sipped his orange ice. He looked back at the woman sitting next to him.
Kinan just nodded his head while squeezing the end of the shirt he was wearing.
"Can you tell Om Shafiq and Aunt Ifa to cancel this match" Raffa said, hoping Kinan would refuse to be betrothed to him and he could continue his studies without burden. " I assume you're just Nan's sister, nothing more. And this is not possible, when I want to marry a woman I already consider my own sister" he continued.
Kinan only glanced at Raffa then he lowered his head again. He remembered every word Bagas said to him.
" Before he goes far tell him that you love him"
"Don't until you regret it later in life"
"Time will never come back, tell him even if the answer is
painfully. And it's time he found out"
Kinan exhaled his rough breath before he said his love for Raffa.
"You want me to cancel this match" asked Kinan and he got a nod from Raffa. "You just think of me as a sister" Kinan stared intensely at the face of the man he loved.
"Raffa "wept, he was angry with the action he would do next.
" This is the answer for you" he pressed the nape of Raffa's neck and kissed her so quickly that he gasped for the first time he had ever kissed a man and shared oxygen with her.
Raffa widened his eyes with what Kinan had done to him, he had not expected to get a surprise attack from a Kinan.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to cancel this match. I like you and love you Raffa, I don't care if you don't love me. Because I'm sure one day you'll repay my love. And I just want you to be no other man" Kinan ran into the room after saying that line, he was afraid that Raffa would get angry for daring to kiss him.
And now Raffa just fell silent after hearing and seeing what Kinan did to him. "No way, this must be wrong. This must be a dream" he held the lips that Kinan had just kissed.He had not expected Kinan to put his heart on him all this time.
