'JODOH....

sometimes it comes in unexpected ways. He whom we have never considered, turns out to be the destined one.'

The story of Keira, Beth and Vynt's Arab friends begins on the eve of Tyo and Keira's wedding,

Said Najib, the young man who was about to return home from the wedding reception of his best friend—Keira and Tyo it looks amazingly disappointed and lethargic. The whisper she heard from Keira earlier— as she said goodbye to home—sounded so painful in her ears. Even to the point of piercing into his heart.

Keira, who whispered but clearly revealed the fact that Andrea—, the beautiful woman who had been chatting with her during the party, was transgender.

Like being struck by lightning on a clear night. Without rain or storm. Making the facts revealed by Keira not only feels so bad in Said's heart, but also quite makes his ears hot.

Said, like a beetle that has found its flowers, had to swallow a bitter pill called fact. The fact that the flower he had just discovered was in fact another beetle that had metamorphosed.

But still, the soul of a normal man Said immediately forced him to cross the name of Andrea from the list of potential candidates. That of course makes a list that was just filled with one name, he had to let go back empty hopping.

With a giant step the young man came out of the hotel building where his best friend's wedding party was held. Because walking while staggered like a drunk person while lowering his head, Said did not see when there was a girl who was walking towards him.

The girl was walking in a hurry and was also not paying attention to the road in front of her because she was too busy looking for something from inside the backpack she was holding.

Until finally, the collision between the two was inevitable. Accidentally the two bodies hit each other, but because the girl's body is lighter than Said's body which although thin but still a man, but still a man, so no wonder if the girl was bounced after her body hit the young man's body.

Said reflexively raised his head after feeling that pretty violent impact. It was then that he saw a curly long-haired girl in a black white uniform whizzing backwards as a result of colliding with him.

So loud was the collision, that the girl's body fell with the buttocks that first landed on the ground. Said who was shocked and felt guilty immediately helped the girl stand up while crouching and shouting.

"ASTAGHFIRULLAH, sorry-sorry! You okay?" pekiknya worry.

The girl grimaced as she stood up with Said's help. After her body was straightened back, one hand of the girl continued to hold her sore buttocks.

Said was worried about him. And sincerely he asked the situation of the girl. "You-you, wounded? Is anyone sick?"

"It's okay! It hurts a little!" fortunately the girl was not angry even though she was more harmed by the incident.

Not only felt pain in his buttocks, but the uniform skirt he wore was torn due to rubbing against the paving when he fell earlier. Said who realized the girl's skirt was torn apart immediately glared while pointing.

"I-it! Your skirt's torn!" he said in panic. Said's face paled instantly. His guilt is getting higher.

The girl was surprised to learn that her skirt had been torn. He quickly covered the torn part using his backpack. The girl's face was no less pale than Said's, because she was suddenly confused how she would go home using the city bus if her skirt was torn so. People will definitely notice it.

Said immediately bent his body to apologize profusely to the girl. "Sorry yes! Sorry bangeettt, because I skirt you so," he said in a panic.

"No! It's not your fault. I also hurried the road and did not look ahead because I was busy with the contents of my bag," the girl did not want to blame Said.

"Are you looking for something?" ask Said kepo. Wishing there was something he could do to atone for his 'sins' on the girl.

"Amplop. It seemed like I had put it in the bag but it suddenly disappeared," replied the girl suddenly gloomily.

"Do you want to help me find?" Said offered his help.

Said recognizes the woman as the owner of the Partyplanner in charge of Keira and Tyo's wedding tonight—Mbak Devy. He wondered what this woman had to do with the girl before him.

"This is you know, your honor just fell in the bridal makeup room. Good thing it had a name, so I knew who it was. Beware dong, Non! It's really important to you" Devy tapped Milla's head with a white envelope in her hand.

Milla grimaced as she rolled her eyeballs upwards, glanced at the envelope, then grabbed it. "Thank you, Miss Dev! I thought I didn't get into my bag, didn't even fall. I was afraid of missing so I immediately panicked and hurried back here," said Milla.

Devy's mother looked bellied while shaking her waist to hear the girl's confession. However, a second later he realized Said's existence in their midst. "You? Not Keira's friend, is he?" mama Devy asked Said.

"Yes, Mom! I'm Said, Keira's friend." Said confirmed the woman's guess.

"Trus? Why are you here with Milla? You guys know each other?" tanyanya.

"Oh, no, Ma'am!" milla rebutted quickly while waving one of her hands, while the other hand was still holding her backpack that covered the tear in her skirt.

"Yes, we haven't met yet! There was just a small incident. I'm the same as him when he crashes and he falls until his skirt is torn," Said explained as he scratched his head in guilt.

Devy's mother folded her hands in front of her chest while glancing towards Milla's backpack that covered her skirt. "You didn't bring a jacket or cardigan to cover your skirt?" ask the woman to Milla.

Milla shook her head slowly while smiling awkwardly. Seeing the hopeless expression on Milla's face, Madam Devy instead glanced towards Said who was still standing stiffly next to her. "You? Here bring the vehicle?" ask him to Said.

Said nodded quickly, "I brought the car, Ma'am!" answer's clumsy.

Ma'am Devy smiled with satisfaction. "If so I ask you to take this girl home, can you? Although it happened accidentally but because of the same collision you will be Milla's skirt so so. So, can you help her?" Mbak Devy tilted his head as he looked towards Said who was dumbfounded to hear the woman's request.

"Oh, can-can. That could!" said enthusiastically. Indeed, before the woman asked for it, she herself had the intention to offer her help to the girl named Milla.

"But you can be trusted?" mama Devy asked again this time with suspicious eyes that he pointed at Said.

Said felt awkward accepting that gaze, "Bi-can dong, Ma'am! I assure you, Milla will return home safely!" said Promise straightforwardly.

Ma'am Devy nodded, "OK! If so, be careful when you go home. Thanks for that, Said. I'll stay first! Hye!" and the woman immediately passed after saying her last sentence.

After being abandoned by Devy, Said and Milla suddenly act awkwardly in front of each other. Milla folded her lips into her mouth because she didn't know what to say. While Said was busy paying attention to the appearance of the girl from top to bottom and then back up again.

"You...the employee, Ms Devy?" said with an awkward smile.

"Before that it might be better to get acquainted first!" reply Milla without answering Said's previous question.

"Ooh, is that it? Hehee..sorry! I think you're right," Said again scratched the back of his head.

Milla thrust out her free hand while introducing herself. "I'm Millana Risty. Commonly called Milla. I'm part of Devy's team at tonight's show" the girl said.

Said welcomed Milla's hand and shook her graciously, "I'm Said Najib. I'm one of the best friends of the bride tonight" Said replied.

After that, the two smiled at each other. For Said and Milla, their meeting that night might mean nothing. However, without them knowing it, the story of the two of them next, has been recorded in the screenplay book of the author.
