this morning the sun was not like yesterday the light was a little blocked by cloud overcast like he also felt the anxiety I was experiencing
slowly but surely I set my foot towards the sky blue taxi that has been parked since 5 minutes ago because today I have an appointment with aunt dinda in her restaurant which is not the distance too far from where I live
about 20 minutes I have arrived at the restaurant aunty dinda and I see from the outside glass looks women in navy colored dresses are cool arranging flowers in the corner of the room that is none other than the woman it's aunt dinda
"assalamualaikum aunty" said I salute
"waalaikum salam kay, have you come? " answered auntie while kissing my left and right cheeks
"just got tan" I replied
"here sit, what do you want to see aunty" asked aunt dinda looks like a curious person
"i want to ask you about Rayhan tan" I replied a little embarrassed
" rayhan's? what happened to rayhan? " ask her
"no apa2 tan, just before I make a decision I want to know him first" I replied
"ooo, Rayhan is a good man kay, he is quiet but considerate, he is friendly and polite the most important thing is he respects women and he never imposes his will" said aunty dinda
"continue why does he want to carry out this matchmaking tan? " ask me curious
"maybe he wants to make his late parents happy, but the aunt also does not know the problem"
"why didn't he meet me tan? but the engagement plan is the day after? " ask me again
"you better ask directly to rayhan kay, aunt has no answer to your question" pinta aunty dinda
"but tan? " my word
"already kay, let the aunt tell Rayhan to contact you later" said aunt dinda interrupted my question that I had not been able to say
"alright tan, then kayla pamit first" I said to aunt dinda
"hati2 kay"
"assalamualaikum" my pump while kissing the back of aunt dinda's hand
"greetings waalaikum" replied aunt dinda while stroking my head

dreet.
the ringing of my phone surprised me who from daydreaming thought of the answer to Andika, I saw the phone screen but there was no name on it just a number that seemed familiar but I forgot whose number it was, didn't want to think for long I grabbed my phone and I answered the call under that name
"assalamualaikum" came a voice that I seemed to have heard but where? ask me in my heart
"walaikum greetings, sorry who is this" I asked curiously because I had indeed forgotten
"sorry if I bother you, this is me" he replied
"oh, sorry I forgot" I replied a little clumsy after hearing Rayhan's name
"it's okay2, but am I bothering you? " ask her
"no, what's wrong" I asked
"aunty dinda told me everything this afternoon, I just wanted to say the reason I accepted this matchmaking was because it was a form of my devotion to both my parents" he said it firmly and the reason touched my heart
"but we don't know each other? never even met" I replied stiffly
"i believe in the choice of my deceased parents more than believing in myself" he said, touching my heart
"what if I don't love you later" I asked
"love is from God, we as beings can only rely on ourselves to be loved and loved sincerely" he replied without a hint of doubt, I could only be stunned to hear Rayhan's words on me his words were beautiful without a hint of hesitation in his heart and managed to touch the recesses of my heart so I didn't know what to say
"hello, is kayla still there? her question awakened my daydream
"yes, yes still" I replied.
"what do you want to ask me again" he asked
"nothing, "
"alright, then I hang up the phone first, assalamualaikum" he said
"yes, hail waalaikum" I replied
now I worry more about my decision what should I choose my mother's heart or my heart? that question always ringing in my ears made me even more confused.
seriate....
