Love Raina

Not Coincidence

***

In the dining room

Raina and her parents are now sitting on the dining table chair. Started the discussion because the decision had to be taken tonight as well.

"What do you think, Na?" the first person to be asked for an opinion was Raina. He was directly involved with all of this.

"I mean Dad?" Raina spontaneously replied. Raina knew that both Tono's father and Holy Mother had never touched on marriage. Raina's parents understand very well that for now the main priority of Raina is education. Feeling young, Raina will still focus on her studies.

"Indeed, all this feels strange, many events are like absurd. Starting from the ignorance of the Hartawijaya family that Nana is actually Raina. Rama is too. Nak Rama is not even aware of having appointed Raina as his pretended girlfriend to avoid an arranged marriage with Nana," Tono's father smiled.

"Your father too. Father also realized that the handsome young businessman he was often proud of, who always asked for help in our store to channel his social assistance to the parlors turned out to be Rama," the Holy Mother added. There was a sense of pride in him towards Rama's attitude.

"Huh?" Raina surprised.

"Do you think all this is just a coincidence?" tono's father again confused Raina.

"God has indirectly sent you to the Hartawijaya family. Not only as Andi's private tutor but also as Rama's feigned girlfriend. With that their families so know the good side of you. And have they not accepted you all this time and treated you well. Even when your romance drama unfolds, Miss Sari wisely forgives you." The Holy Mother could only nod confirming what her husband had said.

"And again. Allah has chosen the father as the mediator of Rama's alms. Dad was very proud of him, even though he was young he cared a lot about his fellow man. I admire Rama's good side."

Tono's father looked into Raina's eyes. "Javab honestly, Na! is there not the slightest sense of comfort that you feel when you are with Rama?"

Raina was silent. But behind Raina's gaze, Tono's father could already guess. The eyes cannot lie. After all, Tono's father knew this daughter very well.

"Jawab, Honey!" said the Holy Mother who saw her daughter still reluctant to answer.

"Okay, then please tell father and mother, what do you want?" the Holy Mother asked back.

After thinking, Raina finally made up her mind. However, he did not want to complicate the position of his father and mother who had to immediately give an answer to the Hartawijaya family.

"Ma ... Na will try to accept whatever decision Father and Mother choose" Raina replied.

"Are you serious? you won't regret it?" tono's father assured.

"InshaAllah Raina sincere. All this time whatever Dad and Mommy gave was always the best for Raina."

Dag dig dug Raina's feelings when her father took her to return to the living room, she could not guess what decision her father would later choose. Accept or refuse.

The Holy Mother took a tissue from the dining room and gave it to Papa Budi so that he could wipe the tears of his crying wife in his arms.

Papa Budi wiped his wife's tears gently.

Fathering.. So you actually want to accept or refuse? why twist like this. Raina's heart is pounding not for waiting for the certainty of the answer, Dad. Raina.

"Yes Om, I think everyone is like that. Nothing is perfect. All must be complete with its advantages and disadvantages. Rama is like that too. Had we been fooled ...," Rama's words were cut off then glanced at Raina at a glance, Raina who from earlier noticed Rama talking intently now lowered her head in shame after the eyes of the two met. "We'll try to complement each other, 'Om. God willing."

Both parents look smiling. Every answer given by Rama does sound satisfying.

"Rama's meeting with Na was unintentional, Na gave lessons to Andi or even my own meeting with Nak Rama. Is this a coincidence? I think everything was planned by God. So after we negotiated earlier and were provided with Nak Rama's answer, our family accepted this match."

"Alhamdulillah," said thanks from the Hartawijaya family compact. Only Rama who looked timidly said that. Raina smiled at that.

"Thank you, Sir. We are so grateful that this matchup has finally been made. I'm sure my mom is happy right now. I hope this decision is the best for our family. Especially for Rama and Raina."

"Aamiin's."

Tonight the originally tense atmosphere became very pleasant. Small conversations about the continuation of the decision were also created. Given Rama's mature age, mama Sari proposed that the marriage could be done as soon as possible. But Raina requested that the marriage be carried out after she graduated.

"Rai, if your nuggu graduation means another year dong, now you're still starting semester seven?" mama Sari looks not accepted yet.

"God willing Raina only needs seven semesters, Auntie. Raina will try. Hopefully all is well and can pass the end of this semester." Raina assured.

"Tante forgot that you're a smart student. Gawk.. For the sake of your college graduation, and hopefully your target of graduating in seven semesters is achieved, Aunt relented. After graduation, he got married" he said enthusiastically. Rama just smiled a smile at the joy of his mother.

Time has shown at half-ten in the evening. The Hartawijaya family. Tono's father, Holy Mother and Raina escorted him to the front of the house.

Not yet entered the car Rama permission to go to the toilet for a while. The Holy Mother told Raina to drive her. Raina was forced to walk down following Rama who first entered the house. Just arriving in the middle room suddenly Rama stopped.

"Why did Rama stop? Brother Rama did not forget where the toilet is?" ask Raina plain.

Rama turned his body, now they face each other.

"How's Lo doing?" Rama asked.

"Of course, if we don't go to the toilet, we go back to the front!" Raina immediately twisted her body, not until stepping it turns Rama's hand grabbed her hand. Raina glared, back facing Rama.

"Sister Rama don't look for opportunities!" Raina snorted in annoyance, removing her hand from Rama's hand.

"Lo hasn't changed, it's still judes. I just want to ask how Lo is doing. We didn't have time to talk together. It turned out to be free I was looking for an opportunity like this," said Rama then passed leaving Raina just like that.

Wha what?? I'm not wrong?

While heading to the courtyard, Rama simply smiled. Honestly, just by looking at Raina's attitude like before, her sense of kangen has now been slightly cured.
