Raya
He was still silent, digesting all the real situation before him. He and Reka were betrothed by their parents?
It's completely out of his mind, it's too soon. The designer seems to know and not refuse, while he is still frozen in silence without daring to express his rejection.
He knew that the five people before him were waiting for his answer, but he did not have the vocabulary as a form of rejection.
Should he say that Reka is not his type? That's impossible, it'll slap Reka's pride, won't it?
Or should he say that he has loved someone else?
Then, if he said that, what would he answer to his parents if they asked him who the man he loved was?
There was no way he could have said that the man was someone else's husband.
So, turn his head to look at the faces that are waiting for his decision.
"I'm sorry, excuse me to go to the toilet for a while, yes .." he said in a soft and polite tone.
Everyone who was waiting for his answer had to hold back, at least until he returned to his sitting position after he finished his intention in the toilet.
He asked for the whereabouts of the toilet and immediately headed there.
In the toilet, he smothered his own face with the palm of his hand. Sighing heavily time and time again, trying to pacify the feeling that began to be stirred by the unsettling berserk.
He is unlikely to accept this match, but how can he subtly refuse to let no one be offended and hurt by his refusal?
"Thinking, Raya. you have to think," her mind continuously forced her to reject the situation, but now her brain was completely dead-end, not knowing what to say as a word of rejection.
On the other hand, his confused mind just makes his logic dominate, as if asking himself about, why should he refuse this matchmaking? Nice and attractive man's design. There was no reason for her to reject Reka. What exactly is expected of him? Nev? Oh no, the truth is Nev is Feli's husband. Should he be hoping on Nev now?
Although he admits that he loves the man, he cannot deny that Nev's status is still a married man. And he can't and shouldn't expect that guy, can he?
But his heart felt unable if he had to undergo an arranged marriage with Reka, for some reason!
After exhaling a long breath, wash your hands in the sink and leave the toilet area to re-join the others.
But, his steps must be stopped when he sees Aunt Elyani who is like waiting for him in the corner of the room.
"Tante.." said to the woman who kept smiling.
"Raya, can we talk for a minute" said Aunt El.
He nodded and they stood face to face, Aunt El held his shoulder and gently said.
"I'm sorry if our decision took you by surprise,"
"Tante just wants the best for the designer. Aunty thinks you're a good girl, although we've never met before but Auntie has heard a lot about you, both from Aunt's husband and from Reka."
He could only duck while cracking his own fingers,
"Raya, accept this matchmaking, maybe at this time you do not love Reka. But as time goes by, you will definitely have that feeling, you guys are a perfect fit" Aunt El continued.
He could not say anything, his tongue was faint. But for some reason his heart screamed, as if asking for help from the man - the man who had filled his heart, asking that the man save him in such a difficult situation.
"Now Aunt asks you, is there anything less than Reka? Who knows in the future, they can fix it for you" Aunt El clasped her hand with a hopeful look.
He shook his head, as the revelation that Reka does not have any shortcomings, even very perceptionist, almost perfect without gaps. But why did he not pay more attention to Reka, instead his heart wanted another man, who had flaws such as, he ...
Suddenly Aunt Elyani had brought him back to the living room where everyone was waiting for him to come back from the toilet.
He sat back in his original position, flanked by his own Mama and Papa, in front of him there were both parents of Design and the man who was betrothed to him sat on the left side of the Father.
"How's it?" now that Om Damar's voice dominates first, that question certainly leads to the answer to this matchmaking.
"Give it time to answer this, Pa.." that is the voice of Reka's voice.
At a time like this, his head was filled with logic, that he should not expect her, she who had been possessed by another woman.
Perhaps with this matchmaking, he would soon forget about Nev, perhaps this was a way for him to escape the feelings that bound him.
"The Raya-Raya accepted this match, Ma, Pa." she answered almost in a whisper.
Maybe his decision was wrong, but other than he could not get out of this situation, he also wanted to forget Nev immediately because again he remembered the status of the man. Seemed evil when he turned himself in and made Reka as an outlet for the sake of forgetting Nev, but he really had no other choice because he was unable to give a rejection review.
Along with the answer earlier, there was a sigh of relief from everyone who was there, then all seemed to sing their smile.
...🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸...
This Saturday, is the third time Raya performed at Cafe Niken, after last week had filled the event two days in a row on Saturday and Sunday.
Raya didn't tell Niken about her match, so Niken didn't know this.
Niken asked him to quickly prepare because the other friends were ready with their respective musical instruments.
By night, the cafe became very crowded and visitors came back and forth.
Niken said, the cafe is very often used as a place to hang out among the upper middle class, ranging from eating, meetings are also often booked for private events such as parties.
Raya has finished practicing briefly with the band members who hold other musical instruments.
Raya plays her acoustic guitar and matches the tone with other musical instruments as well as with her own voice.
Now the turn will appear, because previously there were other Bands who participated in filling the weekend Event.
Raya went up to the stage, then sat in a chair that was provided for the concept of singing.
Raya sang one of Drive's songs, Together with the Stars very nicely.
When Raya sang the song, all eyes were on the beautiful Vocalist and had a unique distinctive voice.
Finished with the song, in accordance with his agreement with Niken that every gig action must sing a minimum of three songs, finally Raya has an idea to greet the cafe visitors.
Raya gives visitors the opportunity to request the song and he will sing it back nicely.
One memo obtained Raya, and made her smile because the song requested was one of her favorite songs as well.
Raya started strumming her guitar strings back, this song was like the expression of her heart that was not conveyed.
D'cinnamons- Forever Love.
🎶If I could, express.my feelings, to make you believe ...
I will give you, in full, my love ...
Genuine love from the bottom of my heart ...
God, let's love ...
Together... Forever ...🎶
The song is sung with passion and feeling.
But, he had not finished the song, his hand had been pulled by someone, he did not realize the sudden state of being too sedentary to the song.
Someone pulled Raya's hand and immediately took her down from the stage forcibly, almost simultaneously with the sound of cheers from other visitors who sounded roaring Raya's ears.
Raya wavered and did not realize who broke through to get on the stage, pulled his hand, then led him to walk towards the opposite direction from the entrance of the cafe.
Suddenly Raya realized that what pulled her hand was a man with a towering body who was now walking quickly in front of her while continuing to carry her in a hasty manner.
Whatdoes thatmean?
Raya wanted to get angry and scream, but when their steps stopped right in the corner of the room - the Kingdom did not know what room this was, suddenly the man turned his body and looked at him.
Raya was silent to realize who the man was, the brown-eyed man with a gaze as sharp as an eagle was looking at him fixedly. The man was the same, speechless, as if conscious of something-I don't know what.
They did not let go of each other's eyes, until finally the Kingdom first realized that it was Nev.
"Sir, you-you can already walk?" tanya Raya nodded with a surprised face.
Nev was silent and did not answer. His eyes remained focused on Raya, he was scared as he blinked precisely Kingdom also disappeared from his sight.
"Sir, since when can you walk?" Raya re-emits her mind wondering, she even realizes it is Nev because she never saw Nev standing.
"Since now," Nev replied flatly but remained focused on the woman before him.
Raya was quite amazed by Nev's answer. Now he realizes his position in front of Nev, it turns out that when Nev stands, his height is only limited to the man's chest.
"Sir, what's wrong?" tanya Raya does not understand Nev's attitude.
"Stop calling me Master!" nev's a little angry.
"But,-"
"You're not my nanny anymore, Raya" she continued.
