The girl he thought was just a house girl selling at home. It turns out to be a businessman and has a name that is glimpsed by many other business people. Though still relatively new, he alone who established the business first must recognize the success of Aira who is qualified.
"Ra, are you serious? This isn't kidding, is it?" Rei was still confused, not because he did not believe in his best friend but he was just surprised not to play.
Rei's unexpected reaction, made Aira smile thinly. "Forget that, let's eat together. Mom and dad were there too." The footsteps preparing to leave the place standing suddenly Rei held his hand. "What's wrong?"
"Is it wrong that I love you so much? Ra, since the beginning of our meeting. That's where I started to get interested in you. At first just like it, then start wanting to get to know it just that your relationship makes me retreat. Alex is my best friend and cannot be a traitor.
"The second time I fell in love when I realized Alex hurt you and this heart couldn't let go of it. Am I a hypocrite? Making the status of friends as an excuse to be close to you until time to make distance between us.
"It felt so empty that it was not even able to rise. Well, I miss you too often without any right to have you. A feeling that I considered happiness until time brought us together again in the middle of the night.
"That night was supposed to be our night but turned into your night with Arkha. I thought being able to make you my life companion turned out to be a destiny of another will. Your soul mate is him and not me.
"Then, where will I take this heart? I'm tired of running between reality and false dreams. I know you give me no hope and always make me a friend. This time alone, let everything stored in the mind and the bottom of the heart be contained through the expression of words.
"Do I love you or just admire you? I thought, if awe wouldn't get to the point now. I'm sorry, because maybe after this you'll assume I'm just like any other guy out there." Rei ended all his complaints which became a relief of heart.
Honestly, the sense that had only been able to be contained suddenly revealed made the heart beat back to normal. Relieved like all the burdens lifted from the mind, while Aira could only sigh slowly trying to accept all these realities by thinking positively.
"Everyone deserves to fall in love, Rei. Love is not wrong but sometimes time, place and purpose are not our destiny. No matter how far we love someone. If only the soul mates would unite. Like my relationship with Arkha's different countries.
"Cultural differences and backgrounds. You must understand what I mean, right? God made us a mate as a couple in the world so that all his affairs were made easier. That must be what it looks but you know it's not that easy.
"Life leads us to struggle. Arkha tried to get the blessing of the family, especially parents, until almost a month went missing without news. It was an ordeal that made some of my work fall apart. I could have flown to Pakistan but as a woman I wanted to keep the honor.
"In the end I had to agree to be betrothed but on the same night we were met. I didn't expect him to come without telling me first. You know how it goes. Rest assured if our soul mate is not exchanged. One day you will meet your own soul mate." said Aira ended the expression of his heart made Rei smile sincerely.
The conversation of the two men did not escape the ears of someone who stood not far from them. Not a single tear drenched his cheek, "It is fitting that I was never considered as if he loved my own best friend. Lia, be patient because a soul mate can't go the wrong way."
Lia hastily wiped her tears while looking at her heart. Breathe deeply and then breathe slowly. Hoping for a hot sensation that continues to burst forth wants to shed tears. It turns out that it is not as easy as when spoken.
The footsteps walked over to Aira and Rei. "Guy's, you guys aren't laper, are you? Hayuk, we're all waiting for you."
"Astagfirullah, to forget. Come on!" Aira clasped Lia's hand but left Rei who could only shake his head with a step of walking following her two best friends.
Today's holiday turns into a disclosure of hearts that have been buried for a long time. It was like opening a diary book but for Rei and Aira it was an openness worth appreciating. Their relationship does not turn out to be awkward even closer as a family.
The sound of laughter enveloped the lunch session together accompanied by a breeze. It looks like a harmonious family with many members who love each other. But among all the people only Danish is silent without wanting to interfere anything other than feeding bland food.
Aira noticed how her assistant was acting, as well as Rei who realized Danish's silence must have been due to thinking of the Rose. It turns out that people in love always have their own test. One side he loves a true girl but not his soul mate, whereas on the other hand Danish loves a girl who has the habit of being an explosive.
Danish dishes still contain half the food, while the others are almost exhausted even Arsha just added again. Strange, though as far as he knows, Aira's assistant if eating not a little. Although yes not gaining weight is also just looks strange because it is not usually.
"Dear, want to add more?" bargaining Arkha distracted Aira who shook her head.
The meal resumed without any chat until suddenly there was a cellphone ringing sound from one of the flat objects lying beside Rei. However, his hands were all dirty because he enjoyed the grilled chicken sauce. Confused how to pick up the phone but on screen the name of the father.
"Ra, can you please pick up my phone? My hands are dirty." Pinta Rei without any intention made Aira take the phone that is still ringing. Then he received a call, and then brought it closer to his ear. "Assalamu'alaikum, Dad."
[Waalaikumsalam, Son. You where? I told you to meet your candidate at the beach. Don't tell me you didn't come.]~cecar his father from across instantly reminded Rei of his goal of coming to the beach.
"He-he-he, I'm sorry Rei, Dad. I forgot about it but it's actually on the beach. You'd better send me the number, let me meet." Rei said he didn't want to be a bad boy because he was against the father's petty request.
[Daddy send it straight away, you call him. Kasian hangin children people.]~ucap Dad immediately turned off the phone connection, then shortly afterwards heard the ringing notification incoming messages.
Again Rei asked Aira to help send a message to the number that the father had just sent. A short message asking the owner of the number to come to the saung where they are. It seems that the man was deliberately not to have a meeting by himself.
"I wash my hands first, you continue." said Rei down from the saung but followed by Arkha and others.
Aira who ate using a safe spoon without having to wash her hands just wiped her fingers using wet wipes, as well as Lia and Sonia's mother. Danish who had no appetite to eat stopped eating, then went to wash their hands after the men except Arsha.
One man was relaxed like on the beach, yes indeed again on the beach anyway. The meal was so enjoyed without thinking about the surrounding disturbances as if the other was just a wind past. It was nice to see something like that because it was better to eat than to waste.
"Lia, why are you sad?" The look of his friend's sad eyes can not be removed even though the smile continues to adorn the lips. "Is there a problem at work or has started to have a crush on guys?"
A guess not far from the facts of life. But how to tell Aira that the man who managed to steal her heart is Rei. While the man loved the friend not even once glanced at him. Then now there will be another woman who entered without permission because of the father's request from the man.
Obviously that call was quite disturbing his peace of mind. "I'm good, Ra. It's just hot the weather's getting a little lazy."
His alibi is quite appropriate because the circumstances are so. Although Aira only ber oh ria. The girl just wants to give the right of privacy for the friend to be honest when he feels ready. While at the hand wash, the men scramble for liquid soap like a child.
I don't know who started but their behavior became a spectacle of other visitors. "Children today at no time have toys huh."
"Ganteng anyway, but why even be a spectacle because of the kekara of small children anyway. So want to take it home." said another visitor.
The furore did not escape the attention of a hijab girl who only smiled knot, then left the crowd. His footsteps continued down the path until he saw the saung sent by someone through a short message.
"Assalamu'alaikum, I'm sorry is Rei here?" his tananya is so polite while saying hello.
