RAMADAN IN RAYYA'S HEART

I Like You

Unlike most teenage girls who look cheerful when celebrating a sweet seventheen brithday party, Rayya actually looks less passionate at her birthday event this time. Of course the presence of the figure of Ramadan is what makes his feelings become chaotic and mixed. He wanted to cry but he tried to hold it because he did not want to bear the shame if later guests who came to know his disappointment because of someone he always expected to come in every birthday celebration really came along with other women.

Because that's when Umi Rara, the mother of her Mommy invites her to talk, Rayya wants to momentarily forget her current chaotic heart by entertaining herself to talk to her Grandma who always makes her laugh. For him with his Grandma from his Mommy side it was always exciting.

And the conversation between the grandson and grandmother has now come to the story of Mommy's past that Rayya wants to know from her Grandma, because Azzahra had said if he ever liked men when his age to make himself curious.

" Your mother doesn't know her name is dating, Neng Rayya. Even when married to your Papa too, your Mama was not dating first, Papa and Mama you were actually dating after marriage. Your mother got married when she was twenty-four." Umi Rara explained.

" But Mommy said that as old as Rayya Mommy used to like guys, Nin. Mommy never told Enin about the guy Mommy liked first, Nin?" search Rayya later.

" Oh, that ..that's a story of the past, don't need to be taken into account, the important thing is now that your mother is happily married to your Papa to have beautiful and handsome children." Umi Rara does not seem to want to discuss Azzahra's past love story. For him now seeing his daughter's household running in harmony with Gavin makes him very happy.

" So you don't know who Mommy used to like?" Rayya is still fishing for the name of the man who once made her Mommy fell in love.

" What do you know, Geulis? They have their own lives. And what's important is that they've been in a good relationship like brothers."

" Being as good as a brother? How could it be, Nin? Is Mommy not jealous of his wife's guy or vice versa his wife's guy is not jealous of her husband ever liked Mommy?"

" Was it all this time you've seen your mom with Auntie you were fighting each other? No, right? They are very compact and compact."

" Mommy and Auntie? Auntie who, Nin? Auntie Tata? Did you mean that Enin the guy Mommy used to love was Uncle Yoga? Seriously, Nin?" Rayya seemed surprised to know if the man who had made her Mommy feel love itself was Yoga, the man she knew as her Om, the husband of her cousin Daddy's sister.

And Umi Rara who realized that she had been released immediately told Rayya to shut up.

" Ssssttt, Rayya don't tell your Mama that Enin said it like that, yeah! Later Mama you are angry with Enin if you know Enin has opened the secret."

" yeah, Enin. Rayya won't say."

" What is Enin Rayya talking about? From earlier Mommy saw it seemed like a very exciting conversation."

Rayya and Umi Rara gasped in shock as a weak pat landed on each other's shoulders accompanied by the appearance of Azzahra who was already standing behind them.

" Mommy ...."

" Rara ...."

" What are you talking about?" Azzahra asked again when the two women he loved from different generations were surprised to see him.

" Hmmm, that, Mom ... Enin advised Rayya to be diligent in learning and focus on school." Rayya tried to cover up what Umi Rara had said earlier.

" Ah, that's right, Ra. Umi told Rayya to learn to be a smart kid." Umi Rara chimed in.

" Yes already, now you're the same Enin break, yeah. It's already night. Enin don't sleep at night." Azzahra asks Umi Rara and Rayya to rest.

" We're going home or staying over, Mom?" ask Rayya.

" Daddy told us to stay here because it's been a night of pity for the same Enin. So tomorrow morning after breakfast we go home." Azzahra explained to Rayya.

" You quickly go back to your room, Mommy wants to take Enin with you to their room." Azzahra sent Rayya to her room.

" Okay, Mom." Rayya then hugged Umi Rara's body first. " Have a good rest, Nin."

" Yes, Geulis." said Umi Rara.

" Goodnight, Mom." Rayya then hugs Azzahra and gives a kiss on her Mommy cheek.

" Good night, honey. Get to sleep, yeah!"

" Yes, Mom. Ariston ...."

" Waalaikumsalam ..." sahut Azzahra and Umi Rara together.

" Yes, Umi. Rara did not expect Rara to have such a big child." Azzahra embraces the body of Umi Rara.

" You have to be extra careful looking after her, Ra. Your child is beautiful there must be a lot of men who are interested in him." Umi Rara tried to remind her son.

" Yes, Umi. We're going back to the room now, Umi." Azzahra invited Uminya to step up.

" Abi where are you, Ra?" ask Umi Rara.

" Abi is still chatting with Papa David and his Daddy Rayya too, Umi. Later let Daddy Rayya just take Abi to the room."

" Oh, yeah .. Let's go to the room. Umi also has sore back want to berselonjor," said Umi Rara. The mother and son left the ballroom.

" Rayya is beautiful, Ram? Kalem and hijab again." Kayla commented as she and Ramadhan left the ballroom and are currently in Ramadan's car.

" You're no less beautiful, too, Kay." Without any awkwardness Ramadan praised Kayla.

" What the hell, Rama ..." Kayla's face instantly blushed receiving praise from Ramadan. " Oh yeah, where are we going? Why did you say I asked you to take me somewhere? I didn't ask to take you anywhere." Kayla was curious about Ramadan when she asked Rayya's parents for permission to say goodbye

Ramadhan chuckled when he heard Kayla's words.

" Why laugh, Ram? Wh why? Is there something strange about my question?"

" No, nothing strange! I laughed because of my lies" said Ramadan.

" What lie?"

" sammitting time. If I don't give you that excuse, we won't be able to get out of there, Kay." Ramadhan explains the reason.

" Why do you want to rush out of there? You don't feel right there?" ask Kayla.

" It's not comfortable."

" why? Aren't there a lot of relatives of your family who came?"

" Because I can't freely talk to you, Kay."

" Are you going to talk to me to feel uncomfortable with so many people?" ask Kayla to investigate.

Ramadhan pulls his car over the sidewalk of a park. He tilted his body and looked at Kayla, leaving her astonished.

" Why stop, Ram?"

" Kay, I like you. Do you want us to be in a relationship like lovers?"

Ramadan's speech to the point said he wanted to invite them to date back and forth made Kayla stunned with wide eyes.
