Actually, he did not expect that his parents agreed to match him with Raya.
At first he just told the Mama that he liked the beautiful and supple Raya. But, it turns out that the steps taken by Mama and her Papa were too fast, she even had a chance to be surprised about this.
She knew her mother wanted her to have a more serious relationship with Raya to get her attached and to forget the past that is now present again in her life.
A few years ago, precisely when he was in college in law, he had a lover, named Citra. Citra is a sister level at the same University but with different faculties. Their relationship was serious and continued until he graduated first and at graduation.
However, maybe he and Citra are not yet a match, they separated because he began to be busy with the world of work.
Not long ago, Citra actually married someone else and it was enough to slap her heart.
He tried to make his first love and became a hard worker at a young age, proved that all his efforts were not in vain and now make it successful.
He has even handled many cases and that is enough to catapult his name in the world of truthfulness. He could prove that he was able to stand alone without the help of his father who was also a senior lawyer.
A few weeks before Mama said she wanted to match her up with Raya, she met an old friend. His friend said he wanted to give him some sort of job to handle a divorce case.
Finally, he accepted his friend's offer and they made an appointment at a beachside restaurant they had agreed to.
...Flashback...
"Hi, Kyara.. Have you been waiting a long time?" ask a friend who made an appointment today. Kyara is his old partner when they both intern at one of the private law firms.
"Hi, hi.... Not long ago, just now." replied the young woman named Kyara. "Let's sit down, what do you want?" kyara asked again - Kyara does have a humble attitude and seems friendly to everyone.
He sits down and says he wants to drink Mochacino alone - to Kyara.
Kyara nodded then called for a Resto servant to approach their table.
"Mas, I added Mochacino one. Same warm orange juice without sugar one, yes." said Kyara smiling kindly at the waiter who recorded the order.
Kyara's order was enough to make her forehead wrinkle, because she had seen there was a glass of cold chocolate ordered Kyara-even it looks untouched. Not to mention because Kyara's order made her think of someone who has a habit of drinking juice without sugar.
"Wait, did you order another drink?" tanyanya while pointing to other drinks that have been served in front of Kyara.
Kyara chuckled slightly, then said, "You forgot? We'll make an agreement here not just the two of you" replied the woman.
He nodded in understanding - that the next order was for the client Kyara would introduce to him today.
"Why don't you handle this case?" ask Kyara - because Kyara is also already a lawyer like herself.
"The problem, which I want to know to you is my question. My friend wants to sue her husband's divorce, right, well.His husband still has family relations with me, so I'm not good," explained Kyara.
He also chuckles slowly. "The name of the job must be professional, Ky.." he smiled.
Kyara nodded. "Oh yeah, but that's it. Yaudah let's just say I throw this job for you, no loss, right?" ask Kyara to make sure.
"Okah," he answered briefly with a small smile.
Before long, the drink order arrived, along with the Client they were waiting for his presence.
At first, he was still acting ordinary because he did not know who the client was, although she knows her client this time is a woman who will demand a divorce with her husband but when the woman finished making love with Kyara, she is, then he can focus on looking at the face of the Client sitting in front of him.
"Partner?" He was shocked half surprised because it turns out his client is the ex-lover. The woman was his first love. Means that the unsweetened orange juice Kyara ordered was really for the woman who had crossed her head upon hearing the order.
So Citra's gonna sue for a divorce with her husband?
He was still dumbfounded with a pias face when Citra actually reached out to him.
"How are you...The designs?" sapa Citra who also looks surprised at the beginning, then try to behave naturally.
"Well, certainly very good," he answered as is.
"You know each other?" timpal Kyara who saw his reaction and the awkward-looking Image.
"We're one University first," The image that answers Kyara's question.
Actually he is very lazy to relate again to the image, especially he is afraid of his feelings that have been buried deep back and out of the surface.
Instead of not moving on from Citra, he also knows the term and some old tropes that state about First Love are synonymous with the word fail.
However, he was just trying to avoid something that might make it difficult in the future, including a reunion with Citra today.
"For a long time, yes." Citra chirped.
"Hmm.." he could only wheeze, understanding the meaning of Citra that they had not met for a long time, almost 5 years since their separation.
He looked at Kyara, signalling that this meeting was not up to his expectations. But, Kyara just shrugged with a clueless look.
Ah no. He wants to give up now.
"Why? Citra has not even explained the subject of her household problems to you." said Kyara.
While Citra who sat next to Kyara seemed to take a look while holding her chest when she heard her statement earlier.
"I can't take care of this," he said.
"Well, didn't you mention being professional at work?" Kyara shakes her head in a fit of incomprehension at her sudden decision to refuse the job - after Citra's arrival.
"This is it, I don't know what's going on between the two of you. But I can see that you know each other very well. Right so?" guess Kyara's on target.
He was still silent, and so was Citra.
"Please prove your words if you are more professional than me" concluded Kyara and checkmate, because Kyara's remarks are like testing her credibility on the job.
By being very forced, she also received to help deal with the Citra divorce case and the woman's husband, it turns out Citra sued her husband because the former had experienced the act of KDRT, which she had suffered from, making his heart become sad and lazy because of knowing the household ulcers of his former beloved.
...Off Flashback...
He saw Mama coming home with a lot of luggage, not to mention the driver who was also lowering a lot of goods from the trunk of the car.
He scratched his forehead which was not itchy, then greeted the mother.
"Ma, what shopping? Too many?" ask in order to make small talk.
"Yes, work continues. You should have bought all of this today. Sunday must work, too, Ka!" Mama snorted in front of him.
That's when he just realized that what Mama bought were items to hand over to Raya next week. He forget. Totally forgot.
"Sorry, Ma... The designer has to meet the client today," he said. And it's not entirely a lie, because he did meet Citra today and Citra is his Client now.
"Who? Imagery?" guess Mama, Mama already knows about her new client who is Citra because she is always open to the Mama about many things.
He did not answer the Mama-accusations that it is true that the client he met today is Citra.
"Mom don't want to know, yeah, Ka. Engagement Ring.. Later you order both equally Raya" said Mama as she passed into the house.
He rubbed his face rough, however he appreciated the decision of his parents and of course his decision was also the one that has agreed this matchmaking.
He entered the house and followed Mama, opening the items that Mama bought enthusiastically.
"Tomorrow you take Raya to find a ring, gih.." suggested Mama.
"OK, Ma.." he said as he opened a paper bag to see the contents that turned out to be a woman's bag.
"Where is Citra?" ask Mama who is back guessing - if the client she met today is really the ex.
"Well, Ma." he said lazily explaining more details.
"They, yep, son. Mama doesn't want you to involve her feelings again, you're done!" resolute Mama.
"Yes no, Ma. What the hell.." he said lazy while looking at other things that Mama bought all day with Raya.
"You're married to Raya, Mama is just ingetin, you're the same image is just a business, yes!"
"Yes, Ma, yes...." He also restored his hair repeatedly because Mama kept nagging him.
"Don't stop Citra wanting to be a widow, you enter in the midst of household problems. Hear you? That's a good boy, Mama wants a daughter-in-law like her."
He let out a long breath, serving Mama will be endless. "They know, Ma.."
"This is it, Mama bought you a batik for next Sunday's application, good deh..." Mama held out a Paperbag towards him.
"Thank you, yes, Ma. I tried yes," he immediately brought the paperbag to the room.
Until in the room, he did not necessarily try the batik that Mama bought, instead he threw his body on the bed, staring at the ceiling of the room.
To be honest, his mind was now a dilemma-effect of his meeting with Citra this afternoon.
On his head continues to ring about Citra's speech which turned out to be able to disturb his heart.
"Ka, if you used to be my husband, maybe I would never have experienced a KDRT like this, but time can not be replayed, yes, Ka."
Those were the words of Citra that made him disheartened. He returned to sympathize with the woman. Moreover, Citra household problems also affect the deepest conscience. There was a feeling of unworthiness in him when he found out that Citra was experiencing such acts of violence.
