Love Raina

Three Weeks

"Where are you done?" rama asks Raina to see that she is no longer with Gita and Veris.

"Already, but if Kak Rama still wants to talk to Pak Dhani not pa pa pa. Raina wait."

"No, this can get more emotional if he takes a long time." Rama glanced at his best friend, still upset because Dhani has not been forthright about when his wedding day. Dhani laughed at Rama's attitude.

"Be careful, Rai! It's like the prospective husband Lo becomes emotional now," said Dhani followed by laughter. Feeling out of scope as a lecturer, Dhani spoke nonformally even to Raina.

"Diem, Lo!" rama's annoyed tone came out again.

"Eitts.. I said, Rai!"

"Udah, don't beat him up. Let's go home!" take Rama with you while pulling Raina's hand. "Assalamu'alaikum," his greeting as he passed leaving Dhani who was still laughing happily with the behavior of his best friend.

"Wa'alaikum salutations."

May you be happy, soul mate of the afterlife. Dhani smiles at her best friend who left her while holding Raina.

Rama and Raina got into the car.

"Ni make Lo, congratulations! Hopefully his knowledge barokah, can lead Lo to be a better person," said Rama while giving a beautiful flower to Raina, followed by a helping hand congratulating her right hand.

This really? I didn't know that Rama could be sweet like this. Raina returned Rama's hand, showing her happiness behind her bright smile.

"Aamiinu. Thanks, Sis. The flowers are so nice."

"Lo likes? That's the mama who bought it for Lo."

Whahuh? Don't dream Raina! Rama can't buy that for you! NO WAY! Gerrutu Raina regretted her words of admiration for Rama earlier.

"Oh, aunt Sari's taste is indeed very high." Raina smiled again but in her heart she felt regret for having hoped it was from Rama.

After taking Raina home, Rama also went straight home because later tonight he will also be there again.

Having a small thanksgiving event, Raina's family invited Rama's family to dinner at her home tonight.

Special for dinner later, the Holy Mother deliberately cooked all her food. Holy Mother is a hobby in the kitchen, no wonder if she can make a variety of processed dishes. Rarely did the family order food from outside.

Assisted by Raina, before adzan isya' food dishes are neatly arranged on the dining table. While waiting for the arrival of the Hartawijaya family, Mr. Tono and his family performed the prayer isya' congregation.

About half-eight cars were heard coming into Raina's yard. Rama and his brother and their parents have arrived.

"Assalamu'alaikum," papa Budi's greeting was then heard Tono's father answered the greeting from inside the house. When the door was opened, everyone entered. Andi and Rama brought the parcel as a hand that was then placed in the middle room.

The dinner went well, all praising the delicacy of Raina's mother's cuisine. Tono's father proudly also told that his wife's cooking talent had indeed been seen since she was a teenager. Talent is pursued, became a hobby until now.

The sense of relaxation was not yet applicable to Rama and Raina, gathering events like this always make deg with both. Unbeknownst to them, parents usually have prepared a plan that is quite serious.

"Alright, so actually tonight's event is not just a thanksgiving event for Raina's passing," said papa Budi made Rama scrunched his forehead. His feelings are getting restless.

Rama's parents and Raina's parents agree to discuss the wedding day of her daughter's son tonight. Raina has graduated and it's time. As they thought. Papa Budi and Tono's father have set a date, tonight he conveyed it and just asked for approval from Rama and Raina.

"What do you think?" ask Tono's father after explaining everything. He looked at Rama and Raina alternately for approval.

"But, Dad. Doesn't that mean three more weeks?" Raina was shocked because she did not expect it to be this fast.

"Yes, and we think three weeks is enough to prepare everything" added papa Budi.

"Marriage is worship, if it is ready why should it be postponed?" said Tono's father. "What do you think of Rama?"

"If I had to do with Raina's decision, Om. If Raina is ready, God willing Rama is ready, too" replied Rama made Raina bite her lower lip. I did not think Rama would say that.

"Sorry before, may Raina ask for time to talk to Rama for a moment?" raina Pinta.

"Oh yes, please, the one who is living everything is both of you. So please negotiate first." Papa Budi gave me a chance.

Raina and Rama finally enter Raina's room. Speaking with four eyes.

"Three more weeks, brother? Why did Rama answer that."

"Keep me what? Even if I accept or reject you don't necessarily agree with my decision, right?"

"But with Kak Rama's answer like that, as if I had to determine everything. Then I have to answer how?" Raina held her head in confusion.

"Now just like this, Rai. Indeed, three weeks was a short time, not only Lo, I was also shocked earlier. But try to think carefully first, if Lo is not able to accept, Lo must have a clear reason to be accepted by our parents," Rama's words make Raina think for a moment.

"Indeed, Brother Rama agreed that our marriage should be three weeks away?" Raina looked at Rama.

"Gue's been almost twenty-nine years, Rai. The problem of living, God willing by running a papa company well, I can support my wife and children later. Mama papa I also already want this all, he is very fond of Lo. So what is the reason I should refuse?" Rama stared fixed Raina, warm eyes full of confidence, showing seriousness with what had been said.

Raina was not used to seeing each other like this. Somehow his feelings became ungodly, his cheeks were already blushing. He chose to look the other way.

But doesn't Brother Rama not love Raina? The sad question that often comes to mind Raina.

"So I'll have to answer how?" raina's voice wasn't as sweet.

"From my side as I said earlier, but I still respect Lo's decision as well. If you're not ready, I won't force you."

The room was silent for a moment. Rama is silent, Raina also seems silent even though her heart and mind are working hard to make a decision. A decision that will mean a lot to his life.
