RAMADAN IN RAYYA'S HEART

Cancel the Plan of Appeal

Azzahra looked at the face of his son who looked beautiful even though he only used light makeup plus nude color liptint polish to look natural for children his age. While Azzahra chose pink blossom to wear Rayya.

" Mom, Rayya deg-degan, deh."

Azzahra smiled at Rayya's words, she could understand what Rayya was feeling right now.

" It's normal, honey. Because this is the first time you're going with Rama." Azzahra then clasped his daughter's hand. " Come on, let's go down now." Azzahra invites Rayya down to meet Ramadan.

" Rayya's ashamed, Mom."

" Why should I be ashamed? Mommy's kid is pretty like this, really. Come ..." Azzahra slightly forced Rayya to follow in her footsteps.

Along the steps towards the living room Rayya seemed to lower his face. His hands were cold while his heartbeat was irregular with a fast rhythm.

" Baby, come here, sweetie ..." Gavin, who saw his son walking hand in hand with his wife, asked her to sit next to him.

Rayya bowed in shame, not the slightest dares to look at Ramadan who was watching him since seeing Rayya down the stairs.

" Baby, Rama wants to take you out tonight. Baby know? Dad had never allowed Baby to go out at night, let alone with men. But tonight Dad allows it, because the man who will take you is Rama" Gavin said.

Rayya glanced at Ramadhan who was staring fixedly at him making Rayya directly lower his head back because he could not control the strong thump in his heart.

" I'll give you permission now, Om, Auntie. Afraid of coming home." Ramadhan asked Gavin for permission.

" All right, you go." Gavin gave me permission.

And finally Gavin and Azzahra also escorted Ramadan and Rayya who went to walk towards the car.

" Where do you want to eat?" ask Ramadan when he starts his car engine.

" Hmmm, Rayya has eaten, Brother."

Rayya had indeed never dated anyone so she answered honestly.

Ramadhan gave a smile hearing Rayya's innocent answer. He then drove his car at a moderate speed.

While Rayya more throw a view out the window with a hand that continues to squeeze the robe he uses.

Ramadhan drove his car into the basement of one of David Richard's hotels until he frowned.

" What are we going to do here, brother?" Rayya who was initially silent is now moved to ask why Ramadan brought to the hotel owned by his Grandpa.

" We're just chatting at the hotel's rooftop resto." Ramadhan gives the reason why he took Rayya to the Dad David hotel.

Now they are both in the restaurant above the Dad David hotel building.

" Good night, please ..." A restaurant waiter approached while giving a food menu book.

" What do you want to order?" ask Ramadhan to Rayya.

" I asked for iced matcha latte only, Ma'am." Rayya mentioned her order.

" That's all? Others?" ask Ramadhan because Rayyak only order the beverage menu.

" Rayya is full, Brother." said Rayya.

" Wouldn't eat anything?"

Rayya shook her head. Maybe if he ordered food, he would not be able to swallow the food because of his grooves.

" I order lemonade mocktail and choco lava cake two." Ramadan keeps ordering food for Rayya.

" Good, Mom." The waiter recorded the menu that Ramadan ordered.

" They don't know you, do they?" ask Ramadhan because the waiter at the restaurant does not seem to recognize Rayya who is the grandson of the hotel owner.

" Riley rarely comes here. Brother." said Rayya.

" Oh, that's it." Ramadhan nodded his head in understanding Rayya's plausible reasoning.

" Om Gavin said that you never go out at night without a brother accompanying you, right?"

" Yes, Brother."

" That's the first time you've been out with a man outside your family?"

" Hmmm, Big Brother deliberately invited you out because Big Brother wants to talk to you about something, Rayya."

Rayya's heart beat faster as Ramadan said he wanted to talk about something he thought was their matchmaking.

" Rayya knows that Om Gavin and Papa Kak Rama want to match us?"

Rayya swallowed her saliva, her guess turned out to be true if Ramadan wanted to discuss the issue of matchmaking.

Rayya just nodded slowly while biting her lips.

" Did Rayya agree with the match?"

Rayya ventured to look at Ramadan, she felt something from the Ramadan question.

" You are young, you must have the desire to achieve your goals. With this matchmaking do you not feel like you will get in the way of what you want to achieve?"

" Sister doesn't want to get in the way of your ideals with this matchmaking."

" Sister doesn't want this match either. But Papa and Mama ask you to accept the match and not disappoint Om Gavin."

" Excuse me ..." The waiter returned with Ramadhan and Rayya's orders.

" Thank you, Ma'am." said Ramadan. " Eaten her cake, Rayya."

Rayya was only speechless while her hand continued to twist the edge of her shar'i hijab.

" Sister already thinks of you like Big Brother's own sister, as do Azkia and Falisha."

" Now you want to ask what Rayya's own wishes are like? Do you want to continue this match without love? Honestly, you can't give love to you because you love another woman."

Deg

Rayya's heart immediately melos hearing the honesty of Ramadan if the man loves another woman. His chest felt tight.

Rayya took a deep breath then with a choked tone in her throat she ventured to ask.

" So what did Rama mean to bring Rayya here for?"

" Sister just wants to explain to you if you still want to continue this matchmaking plan Brother cannot promise happiness for you. I think you want to live happily with the person you love and love you, right?"

Rayya's heart increasingly felt pinned with the true honesty of Ramadan towards him.

" Rayya, understand, brother. Rayya's gonna talk to Daddy about canceling this matchmaking plan." Rayya tried her hardest to say that sentence.

" So Rayya agrees if we refuse this matchmaking?"

" Isn't that what you want?"

" Yes, of course. Thank you if Rayya can understand. Later Brother will talk to Om Gavin ...."

" No need, Brother. Let Rayya talk to Daddy." Rayya cuts off Gavin's remarks by rejecting Ramadan's plan of wanting to talk to his Daddy.

" Okay if Rayya wants it like that."

" Can we go home now?" ask Rayya later.

" But the same drink your food hasn't been touched at all." Ramadhan saw drinks and cakes had not been touched by Rayya.

" It's okay, brother. Rayya just doesn't want Daddy to misunderstand us because we're leaving right now. Faster to tell Daddy it would be better" Rayya said. Rayya herself did not know where she got the strength to speak without the slightest nervousness back then.
