RAMADAN IN RAYYA'S HEART

Thank You For Your Patience And Love All This Time

" Dear ... already dong, angry. I'm sorry. I promise I won't repeat that." Ramadhan is trying to assuage his wife's sulking anger, because he did not wake her up, because he saw Rayya who looked exhausted because last night he again invited his wife to do the mulan shackle after Rayya returned from the bathroom.

" Dear ..we are newlyweds, should be friendly, why are we even marching quietly like this, anyway?" Ramadhan hugs Rayya's body from behind Rayya after they enjoy breakfast prepared by the hotel.

" Detach, Brother!" Rayya tried to break her husband's embrace.

" I'll let go if you'll forgive me first." Ramadhan gives conditions to Rayya if his wife is out of his arms.

" Sir ...!!"

" Mad, Mas Rama. Yesterday, I told you to change the call." Ramadhan protested against Rayya who still called him 'Kak'

Rayya pleaded with her husband over the protest against him.

" If the wrong person is directly protested, if the wrong person does not want to protest!" ketus Rayya's.

Ramadhan grinned at Rayya's innuendo.

" Hmmm, so vindictive, the story?" Ramadhan actually kissed Rayya's cheek, making Rayya frown.

" Oh, don't be angry. The Rayya I know is a beautiful, kind, patient and forgiving woman. So don't get angry again, dear." Ramadan is tightening his arms.

" Sasal Mas Rama did not repeat the mistake as before." Rayya finally forgave her husband's mistake.

" Prepared, dear." said Ramadan firmly.

" Are we going home now, Mom?" ask Rayya later.

" You want to go home?"

" Yes, why are we staying at Daddy's hotel? Not good, Mas. Bored too .." lamented Rayya.

" You said you're bored with me?"

" I mean .. rather than us spending our time staying at a hotel. mending we go where it is, Mas."

" Hmmm, just tell me you want us to go honemoon." Ramadhan smirked seducing Rayya.

" Why do we go honeymoon? Can't you?" Rayya raised her eyebrows.

" Can, really, Honey .. can ... Where do you want the honeymoon?" ask Ramadan.

" I don't want to go far, Mom. Which is close as long as both are the same Mas Rama," said Rayya giggled because he said a sentence that is not usually said.

" It's getting good at combing now, hmmm?" tanya Ramadhan tickles Rayya's waist.

" Aaawww ... How tickled is that, Mas? I'm gonna talk serious. What good is it to go far away to a beautiful place if only alone? It's good if there's a husband accompanying." Rayya explained.

" We're going to my Mama's Papa's house, yuk!" Ramadhan intends to invite Rayya to visit the parents' house of Ramadan.

" I want Mas, we're leaving now?" Rayya seemed excited when Ramadan wanted to invite her to visit her husband's parents' house.

" Yes we're ready now."

" I'll change my clothes first, Mom." Rayya then prepares to change her clothes because she is happy to visit her in-laws' house.

Over thirty minutes it takes Ramadan and Rayya to get to Ricky and Anindita's house. And only Anindita happened to be at home because Ricky and his two sisters were on the move.

" Mommy's happy that Rayya's finally going to be Mama's daughter-in-law." Anindita clasped Rayya's hand as she welcomed her daughter-in-law's arrival.

" Thank you, Ma. Rayya is also happy that Mama Anin is Rayya's mother-in-law." Rayya who has a humble nature retorts Anindita's words.

" It's definitely nice, it was from the beginning hoping to be my Mama's daughter-in-law, really." Ramadan quipped his wife.

Rayya immediately turned to Ramadhan when her husband insinuated, it is certain that Ramadan made her blush in shame especially in front of Anindita.

" And you with his bo doh refused to be betrothed to Rayya. Fortunately, God was still kind because Rayya's heart did not turn to another man. Try if Rayya falls in love with another man when you start falling in love with Rayya, you'll lose." Anindita defends her son-in-law to avenge Ramadan's insinuation.

" Ma, Rama was sure that Rayya's heart would not turn to other men. Because Rayya it's just love I'm a. Isn't that right, honey?" A blink of an eye was given Ramadan to his wife along with the sentence he said.

" Oh yeah, where are you planning your honeymoon?" ask Anindita later.

" Rayya wants a honeymoon that's close, Ma. Maybe we will go to Bali, Lombok or Raja Ampat," said Ramadhan answered his mother's question. " After that it might be Venice, because Rama was eager to get to that city. Time to Italy did not stop there. It seems like it would be very nice to go with a loved one there," he continued to glance at Rayya who immediately frowned.

" But you have to remember, if you have to work, Rama. You can't just leave your job for long." Anindita advised Ramadhan not to forget his position which is only an employee in Angkasa Raya.

" Yes Rama understood, Ma. That's why we probably won't be long, three days of honeymoon in Indonesia, three days in Italy. Ngaret's a bit of work for the newlyweds anyway, naturally, Ma. Om Dirga must also understand."

" If Om Dirga is angry and dismisses Rama, Rama just ask my Father-in-law, help his hotel, would be loved." ramadan joked with a laugh making Rayya round his eyes while Anindita just shook her head.

Rayya walked towards the balcony in front of the second-floor family room of her in-laws' house. His memory seemed to be thrown into the back several years, when he had last set foot in this house. At that time he was looking for the whereabouts of Ramadhan and he found that the man was talking to Kayla. That's where he figured if Ramadhan liked Kayla.

" What's daydreaming?" The sound of Ramadan in Rayya's ears accompanied by a kiss on the cheek and a hug from behind made Rayya jerk in surprise.

" Athaghfirullahal adzim, Mas Rama surprised me." Rayya held her chest as she felt very surprised by the act of Ramadan earlier.

" It must be daydreaming, right?"

" Yes ..." Rayya nodded her head.

" Dream what?" Ramadhan brought Rayya to sit on the sofa of the family room facing towards the balcony.

" I remember the last time I set foot here, Mom." Rayya turned towards Ramadan.

" Oh yeah? When?"

" When I was a kid and I peeked at Mas Rama talking to Kayla on the balcony. Since then I have guessed that Mas Rama likes Kak Kayla. At that time my heart felt sad, especially Mas Rama always considered me a child. Moreover, when Mas Rama invited me to go outside the house and said if Mas Rama did not approve our matchmaking and said if Kak Rama could not possibly give love to me because Kak Rama likes another woman. Since then I feel sure if the woman Mas Rama meant is Kak Kayla, and it turns out that it is true ..." Rayya's heart will feel sad if you remember past events.

" I'm sorry for my old mistakes. From now on, don't ever remember that again. Now that we're together, there's only happiness between us, no more sad stories." Ramadan put his arm on Rayya's shoulder and kissed his wife's forehead.

" But, Mas ...."

" But what, honey?"

" Mas Rama wants us to go to Venice but Mas Rama will not imagine the same departure of Kayla, right? You see, Mas Rama once said he wanted to go to Venice on Kak Kayla. Wear say Venice city is romantic everything ..." Rayya glanced at her husband.

" I told you that, didn't I?"

" There dong, I always remember and recorded everything about Mas Rama in my brain."

" Specitly??"

" That's ...."

Ramadhan smiles at Rayya's words which show that she loves him so deeply.

" Thank you, honey. Thank you for your patience and love for me." Ramadhan then buried a sweet kiss on Rayya's lips.

" God, we're outdoors ..." Rayya immediately dodged as Ramadan buried a kiss on her lips.

" Let it go, no one will see."

" But I'm ashamed, maybe Mama Anin or an aunt went upstairs."

" Okay, then we'll continue in the room." Ramadhan immediately lifted Rayya's body between his arms and brought Rayya into his room next to the family room on the top floor.
