The news that was delivered really made Rayya gasp in shock to make her heart stir instantly.
" Uh, uh ... Rayya don't faint yet, dong. Kia's not finished with the story." Azkia held Rayya's hand
" No, kok! Rayya didn't faint .." tepis Rayya.
" Kia has told Mama to refuse the request of Aunt Anin who wants to match Kia with Kak Rama, so Rayya calm down, Kia will not cornering Rayya. Kia already told Mama that Rayya likes Kak Rama, so there is no way dong, Kia would accept the betrothed so." Azkia tried to explain to her that her cousin had not become misunderstood.
" Kia why open the secret with Auntie everything?"
" Cieee, who now admits to liking Brother Rama." Azkia immediately laughed because she felt successful in trapping Rayya to admit her love for Ramadan.
" Kia what the fuck, anyway." Rayya immediately blushed until she finally covered her face with her hands
" If you really like to say just like not to be covered up also times." Azkia keeps teasing Rayya.
" Already, ah. Rayya wants to paint again." Rayya almost got up from her seat but Azkia's hand quickly restrained Rayya's arm.
" Wait a minute. What news does Rayya want to tell Kia?" ask Azkia then
" Not so, deh." Rayya. He undoes his intention to tell Azkia about his marriage to Azkia when he finds out that the Mama from Ramadan has other plans for his son. Rayya felt Azkia would surely laugh at him if she told him about her Daddy's plan.
" Rayya don't cheat, yeah! Kia has told me honestly, now Rayya does not want to tell Kia about the good news that Rayya has." Azkia protested Rayya's attitude that he considered cheating did not want to make himself know what Rayya was going through.
" It's not important, Kia."
" Important or not important Rayya must tell Kia because Rayya was intent on wanting to tell Kia. If Rayya doesn't want a story, Kia won't talk to Rayya!" threaten Azkia while standing up want to go.
" Yes, yes, Rayya's story later. But Kia don't tell anyone first, huh?" Rayya asks Azkia to keep her secret from being known by many people.
" Okay, Kia promised." Azkia sat her body back on the park bench.
" Kia knows? If Dad Gavin and Om Ricky want to match Rayya with Kak Rama."
" huh? Sumpeh, lu?!" pekik Azkia was shocked.
" Iihh, Kia's a good language dong when talking to Rayya." Rayya was always protesting if Azkia spoke informal language that is often used by most people but feels does not fit in his ears.
" Hehe, sorry, Ray. You mean Kia, really Uncle want to match Kak Rama with Rayya? How can? Did Rayya tell Uncle that Rayya likes Kak Rama? But why did Aunt Anin even want to match Kak Rama with Kia, huh? Don't-don't because Aunt Anin knows Om Ricky choose you keep Aunt Anin contact Mama Tata ask Kia who is dating Kak Rama because Aunt Anin prefers Kia than Rayya? It's really weird the problem." Azkia massaged her temple as if looking for answers to the questions she asked herself.
" Aunty Anin doesn't like Rayya, does she?" Hearing Azkia's words that say if Anindita prefers Azkia makes Rayya instantly insecure.
" Aunty Anin doesn't like Rayya?" Azkia asked back.
" So Kia said that."
" Iisshh .. That's just a guess, Rayya. Rayya don't baper just yet, deh!" Azkia rolled her eyeballs then glanced towards Rayya.
" Rayya must be very happy dong betrothed to Kak Rama?"
Rayya also now glanced at Azkia while blushing embarrassed with cheeks that began to meet.
" Cieee, cieee ... who will soon be married to her heart, cieee ..." ledek Azkia seduces her cousin.
" Kia, iihh ..." Rayya then pinches Azkia who continues to mingle until the two of them finally laugh together. It seems that the happiness felt by Rayya contracted to Azkia.
Meanwhile, from the back porch door of his house, Azzahra seemed to notice the two teenage girls who were laughing cheerfully. I don't know what the two of them are talking about Azzahra doesn't know.
" O Allah, may the decision of the servant husband not be a boomerang for Rayya," the inner Azzahra hoped.

" What's the matter, Ma?" tanya Ramadhan got up from the bed and walked over to Anindita.
" Meet Papa you yuk!" Anindita held the arm of her daughter, whose height now far exceeded her.
The two of them, the mother and child then walked towards Ricky's work room next to Ricky and Anindita's main room.
" What's up, Pa?" ask Ramadan when he enters his Papa's office.
" Sit down first!" Ricky's orders.
Ramadhan obeyed what his father had told him to sit next to a sofa that Ricky and Anindita had occupied.
" What's the matter, Pa?" Ramadhan was curious about the problem his father wanted to convey, because he suspected that the thing he wanted to talk about was not related to work. The presence of Anindita is what makes Ramadhan believe that.
" Rama, you know? Every parent wants to do what's best for their child as much as we can try, including choosing your future life partner."
Ramadhan stared at Ricky and then stared fixedly at Anindita. He could already deduce where the conversation would go.
" We want you to live with a good woman, who loves you and our family. Which can make you a better person as your mother taught Papa all this time." Ricky linked his finger with Anindita's fingers while glancing at his wife who was also doing the same action with Ricky. " And of course we are blessed to be your companion" he continued.
" Papa and Mr. Gavin met and talked yesterday. Mr. Gavin wants to impress us by marrying his daughter to ...."
" Wait a minute, Pa. Papa's not planning on matching Rama with his son Om Gavin, is he?" Ramadan cut off Ricky's speech.
While Anindita seems to hold her breath when her son cuts off Ricky's words. He had guessed that his son would object if he had to be betrothed to Rayya.
" It is precisely Mr. Gavin choosing you who will be betrothed to his daughter." Ricky.
" Geez, Pa. This is the modern era, why should you betrothed a child? Om Gavin's son was still ABG, only seventeen years old and Rama was twenty-three years old. Time Rama should be dating the same boy? Why not be paired with an Ark that is the same age? Why should Rama? After all Papa knew who the woman Rama liked, Rama couldn't possibly turn to another woman!" Ramadhan strongly opposes his match with Rayya.
" Rama, you must honor Lord Gavin's request. You know that David Richard's family is not just any family. They are one of the most important people in this country. Many parents who race want to impress with Mr. Gavin but Mr. Gavin is interested in making you his son-in-law, you should be grateful. Not because he was rich and respected but because their family was a good family. His daughter is a Sholelah woman. You're lucky to get a wife like Rayya. She was not only beautiful but also her heart. After all, your age problem is only six years apart. Your mom and dad are seven years different." Ricky tried to open up Ramadan's mind.
" Pa, good women and Sholehah are not just Rayya in this world! Rama believes Kayla is also a good woman!" Ramadan once again opposed his Papa.
" From now on, stop thinking about Kayla! Papa won't approve if you insist on going after Kayla!" ricky firmly with a high tone of speech.
" Pa ..." Anindita tried to rub her husband's arm because she saw that Ricky had been provoked by emotions.
" Papa thinks we've had enough of our conversation this time. Papa doesn't want any opposition to Papa's decision!" Ricky got up from the couch and went to his desk. " You can come out now!" he told his son to leave his study.
Ramadhan leaves Ricky's room leaving his parents without a single word out of his mouth. What is certain is that the young man seemed to not accept the decision of his parents.
" Pa, don't be so hard on Rama ..." Anindita tried to advise her husband. He certainly did not want the two people he loved were fighting like before.
" Papa doesn't want him to be too serious about his feelings for Kayla, Ma. Moreover, Papa is not tasty if you have to reject Mr. Gavin." Ricky reveals his reason for being tough on Ricky.
" Are we not imposing our will, Pa? Mama is sorry for Rama, she deserves her own happiness, right?"
" We want the best for our children. And Papa was sure, what Papa decided this was the best for Rama!" firmly the man who is now aged over the head of five.
