Not only Rayya who set his eyes towards the entrance of the ballroom when the MC welcomed new guests, but almost all of the eyes there were also focused on a pair of young people walking side by side, like they were the stars on the show.
" Ram, take off his hand. It's not nice to see people later on misunderstand." Kayla immediately pulled her hand from the link of Rama's hand because she felt that it was him and Ramadan who were the center of attention of people in the room.
While Rayya who saw the friendly scenery of Ramadan and Kayla was immediately breathing a sudden difficult to breathe. His heart that had been hit by anxiety waiting for the presence of Ramadan immediately slipped just like that when he found Ramadan coming hand in hand with another woman, a woman he knew. Even his eyeballs had begun to glaze with the clear liquid that had accumulated there.
" Mom, Rayya's going to the toilet for a second." Rayya immediately got up without waiting for Mommy's approval.
" Relance ..." Azzahra tried to hold Rayya back but Rayya's movement was faster so that it could not be blocked by Azzahra.
" Baby why, Honey?" gavin asked astonished at Rayya's departure.
" Say she's going to the toilet, By." Azzahra wanted to catch up with Rayya but had his arm grabbed by Gavin.
" Where are you going, Honey? Here alone, it's not good that you leave the table too" prevent Gavin from banning his wife from following Rayya.
While Azkia who was also surprised by the arrival of Ramadan which brought Kayla immediately turned to Rayya who seemed to be rushing towards the toilet.
" Where are you going, Kia?" natasha asked her daughter who was the same age as Rayya when she looked like she was about to get up from the seat.
" Kia's gonna pee, Ma." Azkia lies until Natasha allows Azkia to go to the toilet. Azkia then rushed after Rayya in the toilet because she did not want this party to be chaotic because Rayya who felt sad and disappointed.
Actually, it is not Rayya and Azkia who seem disappointed by the presence of Ramadan that brought Kayla. Alden, Azkia's older brother who since childhood was so interested in Kayla immediately looked suspiciously at the togetherness of Ramadan and Kayla. But the eighteen-year-old prefers silence even though his eyes appear to steal a glance at Kayla.
Meanwhile in the toilet ...
" Relance ..." Azkia approached Rayya who was standing in front of the mirror by covering her face with her palm.
" Ray, Kia's sorry, yeah. Kia did not expect that Kak Rama would bring Kak Kayla here." Azkia hugged Rayya. He did not expect the surprise prepared for Rayya to be not what he expected.
" Kia, Rayya wants to cry but what about the party if Rayya cries?" rayya's voice felt stuck in the throat.
Azkia rubbed her cousin's back.
" Rayya spirit, yes! It's Rayya's happy day, don't be down because of Kak Kayla's unexpected arrival." Azkia could not hide her regret, not only for Ramadan but also for Kayla.
" Sister Rayya, called his MC Om." Aulia, Azkia's sister, is told by Natasha to follow Rayya and Azkia. Because Rayya's disappearance from the party room will be a question many guests present.
Rayya took a deep breath and threw it away.
" We're going back there, Kia." Rayya clasped Azkia's hand until the three of them left the toilet.

Event after event has passed until now the time for all guests to eat dishes prepared at their respective tables.
Rayya turned to the Dirga family table, because at that time Ramadan was seen joining the Dirgantara family because Kayla was Dirga's nephew. He saw how Ramadan was seen conversing with the Dirga family. He also saw Ramadan talking, whispering and laughing with Kayla several times, and it looked very friendly in his eyes.
What Rayya did could not be separated from Azzahra's observation. Azzahra turned his gaze to the Dirga family table until he knew what his daughter was watching. Azzahra could see Rayya's sad face while staring at Ramadan and Kayla.
" Rayya .." Azzahra's voice accompanied by a pat on her shoulder made Rayya blink her eyes until she turned to look at her Mommy.
" Mommy ...." Rayya was instantly misbehaved when Azzahra caught him stealing glances towards Ramadan.
" Rayya see what?" ask Azzahra.
" Not seen anything, Mom." Rayya's voice sounded choked.
Azzahra who felt her son hiding his anxiety instantly clasped Rayya's hand making Rayya gasp.
" Om, Auntie, sorry Rama said to go home first, yes. Take Kayla somewhere."
Rayya again gasped when she heard the sound of Ramadan saying goodbye to Mommy and Daddy.
" What's the rush, Rama?" ask Gavin.
" Yes, because we happen to have another show, Om." Ramadan reasoned.
" Well, then thank you for coming here, Rama." Gavin thanked him because this was the first time Ramadan had attended his daughter's birthday party.
" Together, Om." Ramadhan is approaching Rayya. " Rayya, happy year, yeah. May always be given health, longevity, bestowed sustenance and given happiness always. It's a gift from Brother, I hope Rayya likes." Ramadhan presented a maroon-colored paper bag to Rayya.
" Aamiin, thank you, sister." said Rayya lirih.
" Happy brithday, Rayya. May all of your wishes will come true." This time it was Kayla who congratulated him while giving a hug to the girl.
" Aamiin's. Thanks, Sister Kayla." Rayya tried to develop a smile on her lips.
" Then Rama said yes, Om, Aunt, Rayya." Ramadan with Kayla also said goodbye to Gavin and his family.
" Yes already, be careful on the road of Rama," advised Gavin.
" Yes, Om. Ariston ...."
" Neurobeach ...."
Ramadan and Kayla leave Rayya's birthday party. And Rayya stared at the back of the man until he disappeared behind the ballroom door.
Not long after Rayya's birthday party was over. The invited guests had already started to leave the ballroom, only a few close relatives were still talking there.
" Neng Rayya Enin's grandson ni geulis kieu." Umi Rara hugged her grandson's body.
" Enin could have." Rayya blushed in embarrassment as she was praised by Mommy's mother.
" You're exactly your Mama, Rayya." Umi Rara's hand rubbed Rayya's face.
" Yes, a lot of people say that, Nin."
" Eh, you've got a girlfriend yet?"
Rayya narrowed her eyes at Umi Rara's question.
" Why ask me that?"
" Enin just want to know, because today's children are still small already understand boyfriends."
" Hmmm, Enin .. Mommy used to know what age girlfriends?" Suddenly Rayya remembered her chatter a few days ago with her Mommy until she wanted to know directly from her Grandma, especially the figure of the man Mommy once liked her first.
