Everyone was silent when they heard the sound of the house bell. I opened the door and saw three people coming to see me. Bibi knew one person's salag, because he had come to see Rayna several times.
Bibi let the three people in, and they entered the house waiting in the living room. Seen from the living room there was a family dinner, the man stroked his chest, trying to catch his breath as if tight due to nervousness.
Randy who saw the three men approached the guest even before his aunt approached him.
"Kevano?" Randy saw Kevano confused who came uninvited and also did not come alone, but came with two people whose age was about five heads.
"What's coming here? Who're they?" randy asked confused to see the two parents.
Dania and Rayna approach Randy and leave Reksi at the dinner table.
"They're my parents, Om. I came here to propose to Rayna" Kevano said without further ado. Kevano's speech made everyone surprised, even Reksi who was still sitting at the dinner table was surprised to hear Rayna would be proposed.
"W-what?" Rayna's really in shock, is she dreaming? He even patted her on the cheek many times hoping to quickly come to his senses from his dream.
Everyone looked towards Rayna. Kevano got up from his seat and approached Rayna. He led Rayna to sit on the sofa next to him. There was no rejection from Rayna. Rayna was obviously nervous and could not say anything.
Randy and Dania were silent. They were no less shocked to hear there was a man who proposed to their daughter.
"I'll ask your parents to propose to you" Kevano said.
Rayna swallowed her saliva and was still speechless.
"You're shocked?" ask Kevano and make Rayna's daydream instantly crumble.
"Why do you want to propose to me? I-" Rayna fell silent again. He did not continue his words when he saw Randy looking at him with a difficult gaze to interpret.
"I don't care how you are, who you are, and what you are. I don't care what your past looks like, I accept you with all my heart. I'll take responsibility for you and your life in the future" Kevano said, trying to convince Rayna.
Rayna's heart was pounding, her chest was tight. It felt like yelling as loud as possible revealing that it was as if something had exploded within his chest.
Randy and Dania looked at each other. Dania pulls Randy into the dining room.
"Did she not know that Rayna wasn't pregnant?" ask Dania.
Randy shook his head.
"Gosh, he must think Ade is really pregnant, so he wants to marry Ade" said Dania.
Without saying anything Randy left Dania and approached Kevano and his family. Randy sits in front of Kevano's parents.
"Pardon us, if our arrival is sudden. I was shocked when Kevano said he was going to propose to a girl. I'm sorry for what happened in the past, for what Kevano did to your son. As her parents, I really regretted that. Therefore, we agree when Kevano shows you a photo of your child and says he wants to defile your child. I'm sure, my son wouldn't choose wrong. Kevano is a good man, he is responsible for his family, and we are sure he will be responsible for your daughter" Kevano said.
Randy sighed softly and looked at Rayna who was crying. Rayna quickly wiped away her tears and got up from her seat.
"Sorry, Om, Aunt. I can't accept your child's proposal" Rayna said with trembling lips as if hesitant to say the rejection.
Randy is shocked to hear Rayna's rejection.
"Ade!" call Randy and Dania together.
Rayna could no longer bear the tightness in her chest and left the living room. Kevano just kept silent to see Rayna's departure.
Rayna entered her room and locked the door. Unable to be held back, she cried. Her chest really felt tight.
"It hurts so much, I'm devastated even when I haven't said anything" Rayna said with sobs.
Why do you think gini? Is there no other choice but this pain? I didn't know that love hurts this much, Rayna murmured.
In the living room.
Randy rubbed his face and without saying anything he went to his room. Randy looks moody, is his daughter really proposed?
Randy opened his bag, and took a picture that he always took with him wherever he went. There are photos of himself, Dania, and the twins as children. Randy's eyes reddened in memory of Raydan and Rayna who were so cute as a child, where while working he always wanted to go home faster and make peace with Raydan and little Rayna also small.
During his life, it turned out that this period was so difficult for him. Decide for the future of her daughter. Randy's tears can't be shaken anymore, he's crying. He recalled Dania's remarks about Rayna and Kevano, how Kevano always came to see Rayna even when Randy was against the two for being in touch.
Is this how Papa Hamish used to feel? It's hard to let go of girls, ' muttered Randy.
Randy remembered Rayna, he was sure Rayna was crying.
Randy rushes to Rayna's room and finds Rayna's door locked. Randy tries to knock on the door but is shocked to hear Rayna's answer.
"Not now, I beg you. Ade's not ready to face you guys" Rayna said from inside the room. Randy can hear Rayna crying.
"Papa wants to talk for a second" said Randy.
"No, Pa. Ade please, Ade has been Papa's rejection of Kevano's proposal. Now Ade just wants to be alone, please this time just understand Ade," said Rayna.
Randy was silent and sighed. Rayna's mind was right, she wanted to reject Kevano's proposal. However, he grasps a meaning from what Rayna is saying.
"That's Ade's answer, not Papa's answer. If Ade wants to hear Papa's answer, come down and we'll talk carefully."
Randy said nothing more and went down into the living room.
He approached Kevano and his family. While Rayna who heard Randy's words was getting agitated. However, he still had to face reality, even though it was as bittersweet as that. Rayna went down to the living room. Everyone looked towards the chaotic-looking Rayna. Eyes slightly puffy, flushed nose that contrasts with the color of the skin of his face white. Her hair is a little messy. Rayna remained standing on the stairs, hesitating to get closer to her family.
Randy took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
"I don't want to give my son to the wrong man, Rayna My only daughter, he's worth more than the treasure I have" Randy said.
Rayna came back crying, she already knew her papa's answer. However, he wanted to hear it directly.
"We understand. We also have a daughter, she's Kevano's sister. Every child will be valuable to his parents. We will accept Rayna with open arms" said Kevano. Mama Kevano just kept quiet. He just said every word that came out of Papa Kevano's mouth.
"I love Rayna, Om. I may not be able to prove anything right now, but I promise I will take responsibility and look after Rayna. I don't want to see Rayna take care of her own problems, I don't care who Rayna is, what she is like, I will accept her, even though there is another person in her right now, I still love her and accept her. Therefore, may I ask Rayna to live with me, Om?" Kevano.
Rayna was crying. Kevano still thinks she's pregnant. However, Rayna did not think, if Kevano thinks she is pregnant, then why Kevano who actually wants to marry her? Wouldn't any man marry a woman who's pregnant from another man? And why did Kevano's parents still approve of Kevano's wish to propose to him? Would they not be ashamed to have an unholy daughter-in-law? Or they don't know, and Kevano doesn't tell?
I don't know, at the moment Rayna can't deduce anything.
Randy sighed and closed his face for a moment.
Dania just kept looking at Randy's expression. He understands Randy's current predicament, and he feels it. Which mother does not feel sad when her child is asked by others? Of course any mother would feel the same. Dania sees Rayna and approaches Rayna. She hugged Rayna. Rayna was getting sobbing.
"Trust me, every parent always wants the best for their child. If Papa's answer will make Ade hurt, never hate Papa" said Dania. Rayna did not say anything, it was difficult to talk in a sobbing state. Dania also resigned with Randy's answer. He's going to follow Randy's decision, because he knows Randy won't make the wrong decision.
Randy breathed back.
"All right, that's enough! I will answer your proposal!" randy's assertive.
Kevano's heart pounded for Randy's reply. His hands began to sweat coldly. He's really agitated.
