My Choice of Woman

Episode 51

Ray immediately put his car into the garage next to the bookstore. He allowed Farah to sit at a table near the window. Ray also ordered two coffees for himself and Farah.

Farah just followed behind Ray. He saw this bookstore that was very touched by art even though the floor was from wood. This shop looks quiet. Farah looked as if Ray was very familiar with this bookstore keeper. Even Ray couldn't help asking for anything he needed.

Farah was actually happy with this charming place, but her heart was already disappointed with everything she experienced these few days. Farah saw a wind that blew very hard accompanied by increasingly heavy rain carrying ice grains. Suddenly tears came out from the corner of Farah's eyes. He was crying in silence.

Ray's in the men's room, he's busy calling somebody.

“Why did you guys hit me!” ray exclaimed to the person he was calling.

“That's because the boss played hit without any notice,” replied the person across there.

“While all I want is to pretend. Yes, it's okay, later you guys pay me double. Later I transfer,” said Ray then he disconnected his phone.

Ray looked at his face that was filled with wounds on the toilet mirror. He cleaned his own wounds and covered them with plaster.

“Damn the thugs, made my face like this!” Ray snorted annoyedly feeling his maleness.

“But if it's not like this, Farah won't come with me. Now I know that pursuing love also requires sacrifice not just money,” Ray.

After Ray finishes straight out of the toilet, he restores the town the medicine he brought from the closet.

Unknowingly Ray drops a box, he opens the box. Ray remembered those memories again. He hurriedly closed it.

Ray calls the shopkeeper, telling him to give the box to Farah.

“Ramdan,” call Ray.

Ramdan the shopkeeper placed a tray containing two cups of coffee. He walked to where Ray was standing.

“Give this to the girl,” said Ray while giving a box of gifts.

“Tell him to wear soon,” explains Ray.

Ramdan nodded in response to orders from his boss. He had the box and two cups of coffee in his tray. Ramdan walked towards Farah who was sitting looking at the heavy rain.

Farah realizes Ramdan's arrival, and removes a trail of tears from her cheeks. Farah snaps a gifting coat from Ray.

“Sorry Miss, this is a message from Mr. Ray, please use.” immediately Ramdan smiled amiably as he placed the box and the two cups of coffee in front of Farah.

Farah looked at the box.

“I'm sorry Miss.” Ramdan said he wanted to go back to where he was at the back.

Farah nodded.

After Ramdan's departure, Farah opened the box. He was still confused as to what was inside the box. He felt it was a cloth. Farah blurred the cloth. True this veil fabric with a beautiful motif. The fabric is smooth and looks comfortable when in use.

Farah then rushed into the toilet, she could wear a better veil than the veil she was wearing was torn. Farah felt that she had forgotten her sadness a little.

Farah looked down at Ray looking at her so lovingly. To the extent that Ray was aware to stop the activities of looking at each other. Ray turned to look at the window.

Farah walked to the table she had occupied, and she saw Ray there. Farah sat opposite Ray. Just a table separating between them.

Farah saw clearly Ray's slightly bruised face and there was a wound he covered with plaster. He felt guilty for involving Ray.

“Thank you Ray, today you have saved me, and you are also good to me,” said Farah lowered her head, she felt very guilty.

“I'm fine, next time if you want to go, you should have told me. I can accompany you anywhere safely,” said Ray.

Farah did not answer, she just nodded.

Farah saw the rain from behind the window of this shop.he felt this rain was getting heavier and the wind was blowing as if wrath, so many trees were writhing hard in the wind of the storm.

Where are you now, Mas? you know, I don't even know where you are right now. And I'm so naughty mas.

Farah longed to cry, tears had fallen without her owner's permission. Farah hurriedly wiped the tears that spilled those few drops.

Ray saw Farah who was about to cry, he felt why the woman in front of him was so sad so easily?

“If you want to cry, cry. To make you calmer,” said Ray.

Immediately Farah covered her face with both palms. He started crying. Farah wanted to cry today, so badly.

Ray lets Farah release her load. He heard the woman crying.

Laughter should apologize, because she left you a long time ago. Until that sadness is lodged in your mind. What the hell is going on? What is the burden on your mind? Until you're always cloudy as if it's raining. Is this perhaps a form of anger? Like a storm, your anger is heartbreaking.

Ray looked at Farah while covering his face with both palms. There were a few tears coming out of his finger. Ray takes a handkerchief from his pants pocket and thrusts it towards Farah.

“Use this to wipe your tears,” pinta Ray.

Farah took the handkerchief and wiped the wet eyes and cheeks. He stopped crying. For now, that's enough.

Ray thinks how to get Farah to stop being sad. He was looking for the right topic for now. Ray was thinking hard.

“I envy Adam,” said Ray successfully made Farah turn to him.

“Iya I envy Adam, he is not given a special room to determine what his partner will be like. From his ribs already tied to one woman namely mother Eve,” Ray smiled.

“Unlike me and the humans now, they sometimes get stuck on the wrong love first before finding the real love. They are easy to drop the day on people who may not be in line doomed for us,” continued Ray.

The revelation from Ray was able to make Farah stop her grief for a moment. Finally Farah ventured to ask Ray something.

“Ray ..” call Farah soft

“Iya? Ray smiled looking at his interlocutor.

“Have you ever been in love?”
