RAMADAN IN RAYYA'S HEART

News From Azkia

" I'm here apparently." Azzahra enters Rayya's room while Gavin and Rayya are talking about an arranged marriage.

" Rayya with Daddy again chat what, anyway? Seems like a serious conversation?" azzahra asked because she found her son's face looking tense.

" Come here, Honey. I'm talking about what I told you yesterday with Baby."

This time Azzahra's face was made to stiffen her husband's speech. She did not expect that her husband would be serious with the intention to match Rayya with Ramadan.

" I told you about my plans for Baby's matchmaking."

Azzahra looked at her daughter's face which immediately seemed sad. Especially when her daughter lowered her head.

" Baby said that Baby doesn't like anyone, so Dad hopes Baby can accept your matchmaking, Baby."

Rayya looked at her Daddy back.

" Is Dad going to match Rayya to an old rich man? Is Dad in debt so Dad has to match Rayya?" The silly question came out of Rayya's mouth.

Gavin laughed at his daughter's words.

" Baby, Baby .. You must have been watching too many dramas what's that called? Or reading a novel too often until you think about it? You're a beautiful daughter of Dad's, when will Dad match you with Aki-aki? After all, your Grandpa is one of the richest people in the country. Where possible until Dad is in debt and then betroth you just to pay off Dad's debts. It's ridiculous." Gavin is still distracted laughing at Rayya's innocence.

Rayya then glanced at Azzahra as if to ask for an explanation to his Mommy but Azzahra just threw a smile while raising his shoulders.

" Baby, the man that Dad wants to marry you is a young man and very handsome. Dad's sure you'll like it later. Baby also knows the guy who wants Dad to be with Baby," continued Gavin.

" Who do you mean Daddy?" Rayya was busy guessing who the man was meant by his Daddy.

" Dad met Mr. Ricky yesterday afternoon, and we agreed to match Baby with one of Mr. Ricky's children."

Rayya's heart beats as Gavin calls Mr. Ricky's son. What Mr Ricky does his Daddy mean is Papa from Ramadan? That was the question that was in his heart.

" I mean Dad Om Ricky Thalitha's Papa?" rayya asked with a pounding heart.

" Who is Thalitha? Mr. Ricky's daughter's name, is it?" Gavin turned to his wife because he didn't remember Ricky's daughter even though he knew Ricky had a daughter.

" Yes, Anin's youngest son." Azzahra answered her husband's question.

" Oh yeah-yes, Mr. Ricky has two boys, right? One of them is the same age as Baby."

Rayya's heart again melos because he suspects that his Daddy will match him with Arka. Because with Ramadhan he thought it was impossible to see the closeness of Ramadan with Kayla at his birthday party yesterday.

" Dad hopes you agree Dad made a match with Mr. Ricky's son" Gavin said.

" Is Dad going to match Rayya with Arka's sister?" lirih Rayya was not excited.

Rayya's words make Gavin and Azzahra look at each other, they suspect that his daughter misunderstood his words.

" Did Baby like Arka?" Gavin asked Rayya.

Rayya shook her head.

" Rayya doesn't like anyone, Dad." Rayya denied it again.

" Yes, then Baby will not refuse 'right if Dad wants to match Baby with Rama?"

Rayya was immediately flabbergasted with her mouth open and her eyes widened to hear the name mentioned by Gavin. He did not expect that the person he wanted to be betrothed to was the man of his heart all along.

" K-Sister Rama? Dad want to match Rayya with Brother Rama?" Rayya seemed to still not believe his listeners when Gavin mentioned the name of Rama as a figure to be betrothed to him.

" Yes, does Baby mind if Dad is a match with Rama? If Baby doesn't agree, Dad will tell Om Ricky if this matchmaking plan is canceled." Gavin deliberately said that because he wanted to know what Rayya's reaction would be.

" No, Dad. It's not like that. Mean ... Rayya it's up to what Dad wants." Instantly a groggy taste crept into Rayya's heart. How not? When he admired the figure of a man, it turned out that the man would be betrothed to his parents with himself. It felt like thousands of flower petals were blooming in his heart right then and there.

Gavin smiled at the change in his daughter's facial expression.

" I-yes, Dad." Rayya immediately bowed in embarrassment as the current red hue rose on her white cheeks.

" You see, our son accepts and seems happy with this matchmaking, Honey." Gavin said to Azzahra.

Azzahra only smiled slightly in response to her husband's words. Of course his daughter was happy because Ramadan was a man that her daughter idolized. But what about Ramadan? Will the man agree to be betrothed to Rayya? That's what still worries Azzahra's heart.

Actually, she was very sorry for the hasty actions done by her husband. Azzahra assessed that Rayya should not have known about this before getting clarity on the response from Ramadan about the matchmaking plan initiated by her husband. She was really afraid that her daughter would be disappointed.

" Assalamualaikum's chat. Where's Rayya, Auntie?" Azkia seems to run from her home entering Rayya's house making Azzahra who was spraying ornamental plants in her yard immediately scrunched her forehead.

" Waalaikumsalam, why are you running around like that, Kia?" Azzahra answered Azkia's greeting while asking why her husband's niece had run in a hurry.

" Where's Rayya, Auntie? Kia wants to talk to Rayya about something important." Azkia appears fiery when she says her goal is to find Rayya.

" What's the big deal, Kia?" ask Azzahra.

" Oh. .. That's a young man's problem, Auntie." Azkia chuckles when she finds out Azzahra seems to be investigating. " Rayya's in the room, isn't she, Auntie?"

" Rayya in the garden is painting" said Azzahra.

" Kia to Rayya first yeah, Auntie." Azkia then runs towards the backyard of Gavin's house which is a flower garden. While beside him there is a swimming pool, because Gavin bought a house next to him and he joined his house now and his backyard is used as a family swimming pool.

" Ray ..." Azkia greeted Rayya who looked serious about painting the flowers in the garden.

" Hey, Kia." Rayya greeted Azkia without stopping her activity sweeping the canvas with a koas that had been spiked with watercolor.

" Ray, Kia has some shocking news, you know!"

" Ah, yes Kia. Rayya also has good news, Kia." With a sparkling face Rayya uttered that sentence.

" What news?" ask Azkia curiously.

" Kia used to tell a story. Kan Kia used to want to break the news to Rayya."

" Rayya was the story. Kia is afraid that if Kia who tells the first story Rayya will faint, Kia so can not hear what news Rayya wants to convey to Kia." Azkia.

" Iihh what the hell, Kia ..." Rayya. " Let's hunt Kia first story. Rayya promised not to faint, huh." Rayya put a palette of koas and koas on the table which she prepared to put some color paint on.

" Yes, Rayya just sat down first so that later fainted is not troublesome." Azkia directs Rayya to the garden chair next to Rayya painting.

" Kia makes Rayya just stunt, deh." Rayya commented on his cousin's attitude.

" Since what Kia wants to say will definitely surprise Rayya."

" What about?" Rayya was getting curious.

" So .. two days ago, Mama I met Aunt Anin. And Mama said that Aunt Anin wanted to match Kak Rama with Kia."

Deg

Rayya was immediately stunned to hear from Azkia who said that Anindita would match Ramadhan with Azkia. Then what was the meaning of his Daddy's words this morning? At once Rayya's body felt weak with a very chaotic heart.
