Not Ordinary Slant

Thirty Three

Arkana Rafka's extended family group has just arrived at Gya's residence. The young man who tonight is wearing a batik shirt paired with black chino pants looks tense.

Several relatives attended as a replacement for Rafka's parents who had died. Alika was there too. The Rafka twin brother got out of the car with a confused look.

"Mas" he called slowly.

Rafka turned to Alika who was looking at her in wonder. The woman was demanding an explanation.

"Later to be clear." Rafka tidied his batik shirt, then stepped with the group into the house Gya. Leaving Alika who was still glued to the courtyard of the house. He cast his gaze slowly towards the house of Rafish who was right next to the house of his twin brother's prospective fiancee.

After going through a series of remarks, the main star finally appeared as well. Gya came out with the use of a modern colored wardah kebaya. Her long hair tonight rolled beautifully by pinning a pearl ornament that made her look even more graceful.

Gya stepped his feet slowly with a timid look down past the guests. Beside him was a faithful image accompanying since earlier.

From a distance, Rafka looked stunned. Since Gya's presence, not a second had he shifted his gaze. I can't wait to put the ring on the pretty girl's fingers. Making Agya Sofia hers forever.

"Cit?"

Rafka's face was tense when she saw Gya stop her footsteps suddenly. The fiancee candidate even seemed to be circulating his gaze, as if he was looking for something.

Especially when seeing Citra go from Gya's side with panic steps. Making Rafka increasingly unable to hide her anxiety.

"Patience, Rafka."

Someone broke his attention, making Rafka turn her head, then smile awkwardly. The feeling is getting worse.

Alika, who was standing not far from Rafka, did not notice the change in the look on her face. He was too busy with his cell phone and occasionally seemed to sigh in anger.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing the tone of voice that sounded worried, made Alika finally distract from the phone. He found his uncle whispering with his wife.

"Rafka's fiancee asks for a minute."

"Why?"

"Clearly! What does it mean new wife?" Gya looked stingy. His chest moved up and down quickly due to his emotions that were difficult to control. "Mas!"

Rafka just lowered her head. Seemed not to answer. The thin-faced young man chose to remain silent, although Gya repeatedly pushed his chest for an explanation.

"You lied to me, Mom?" Gya starts hitting Rafka's chest while screaming. To let go of all the disappointment and hurt. "You lied to my family?!"

"Mama who forbid Rafka to make this story with you, until you're officially fiancee." Mama who had been silent, finally spoke up. He walked closer, then lowered Gya's hand from Rafka's chest. Then, grasp it. "We didn't mean to lie to you, Gya. Just ... The time is not right."

A drop of tears just slid from Gya's eye peluhan. He looked at the mother in disbelief. His heart was further broken when he saw the silent papa with his head bowed on the wheelchair.

Gya brushed off the rough hand of mama. Then, put his feet back. He still could not believe what he had just heard.

Gya shook his head slowly, then smothered his own mouth so that his crying did not break. "So .. Do you all know?"

"Rafka is officially divorced. That's not a mistake, is it?" reply mom, relax.

The cry of Gya instantly disappeared. Swallowed by bitter and disappointed taste. Apparently, all this time he had misunderstood. Love and trust do not matter at all, the most important thing is only agreement and profit.

"Please .. don't embarrass me, Dek."

Gya throws his eyes at Rafka. Tears were no longer dripping down her cheeks. He was broken and disappointed.

"Just calm. I won't make you lose," sizzled Gya sharply. Then, step out of the room.

***

As was supposed to happen, the engagement is still going on tonight. Rafka finally managed to pin the ring on Gya's ring finger with a rumble of applause and many congratulations and prayers that he received.

Rafka seemed to smile throughout the show. The young man was not alone, as Gya also revealed the same smile. From now on he should get used to the show.

Right, guys? Agya Sofia is completely missing from her.
