RAMADAN IN RAYYA'S HEART

Not Mom Rara's Idea

Rayya turned towards the watch that was coiled around her wrist. It's been almost fifteen minutes that Mommy and Mama from Ramadan left, but didn't reappear in front of them. The food order was in front of him.

" How come Mommy and Aunt Anin haven't come back here yet, sister?" rayya asked astonished at Ramadhan who had already eaten his food. While he prefers to wait for Azzahra and Anindita back.

" Second Brother phone." Ramadhan then pulled out his cell phone and called his mother's phone number.

" Ashlora, Ma. Where's mama?" tanya Ramadhan when her phone call was picked up by Anindita.

" Waalaikumsalam's. Mama is on her way home delivered by Mr. Rudi with Aunt Rara."

" Come home??" Ramadhan was aghast while glancing at Rayya when he found out that his mother was 'escaping' with Mommy from Rayya.

Rayya himself immediately frowned when he heard the word return from the lips of Ramadan.

" Yes, Mama went home first with Aunt Rara. You'll take Rayya with you, won't you? Don't be left alone Rayya, you know!" Anindita assigns Ramadhan to accompany Rayya.

" Geez, Ma." Ramadhan seems to regret what Anindita did. " Where is Mama's food order?" ask her later.

" Yes, you have eaten. You continue eating it. Assalamualikum. hf. .. tut ..." Anindita hung up the phone, making Ramadhan snort violently.

" Aunty Anin with Mom Rara where?" asked Rayya curiously.

" They're home first."

Rayya gasps when she finds out that Mommy and Anindita accidentally left them both behind. He then took a long breath. With her Mommy alone she feels uncomfortable being close to Ramadan, especially if left alone with a man who blatantly refuses an arranged marriage with her.

Rayya tried as much as possible to overcome his heartbeat that beat irregularly during the time with the man he liked. Rayya then chuckles a little trying to disguise her groin.

" Aunty Anin was eager to match her children with Rayya, huh?"

Ramadhan immediately glanced when he heard Rayya calling his mother eager to match them even though what Rayya said was true.

" There's no way Mom Rara had this idea. Mommy I can't bear to leave her own daughter in the mall if not forced to be with Aunt Anin, right?" Rayya chuckles.

" Oh yes, we eat first and go straight home." Rayya then called out to one of the waiters of the restaurant that passed by nearby.

" Mom, sorry. It can be wrapped, right? It just so happened that the message hurriedly left because there was a need." Rayya pointed to the order of Azzahra and Anindita. " Will be given to people if on the road, brother? Instead of being thrown away, redundant" Rayya said, asking for Ramadan's opinion.

" Oh, yeah." Ramadhan agreed.

And the waiter of the restaurant took an order of food belonging to Anindita and Azzahra.

" Please make twenty more packs, Ma'am." Rayya intends to share for some people who will be given later on the streets.

" Okay, ma'am." replied the waiter.

" If you are given to the officers here they must be tired of feeling this food. So love to others who may have never felt able to enjoy food as good as this." continued Rayya before he finally read the prayer and ate the food in front of him.

Ramadhan continued to look at Rayya who seemed to be eating with ravenous food in front of him. He actually found a different figure from Rayya whom he had known before.

Ramadhan's car stops right in front of Gavin's house along with a car driven by Gibran that just arrived in front of Yoga's house.

" Sister Rama want to go in first or want to go straight home?" rayya asked as she opened the seat belt and the car door.

" Yes, I want permission from Aunt Rara first if Brother has brought you home safely." Ramadhan answered while getting out of his car.

" Hi, Rayya. Where did it come from?" Gibran who saw Rayya get off the car immediately greeted Rayya.

" Hi, Brother Gibran." Rayya replied to Gibran. " Want to get Kia, huh?"

" Well, where's Rayya from?" Gibran gazed in full search at Ramadan, because he knew from Azkia that Rayya and Ramadan's arranged marriage plan was off. But with the arrival of Rayya with Ramadhan made his mind suspect something.

" Oh ..." Gibran nodded his head.

" Yes Rayya first yes, brother. Brother Rama wants to say goodbye to Mommy because. Ariston ..." Rayya chose to go into her house immediately. He did not want Azkia to go out and would ask questions because of her arrival with Ramadan. Rayya also hoped that Gibran would not tell Azkia about this.

" Neylorda." Gibran returned the greetings from Rayya then turned towards Ramadan. " How are you?" Gibran thrusts a fist at Ramadan.

" Good." Ramadhan returned Gibran's fist until they made a fist bump.

" Where did you meet Rayya?" ask Gibran.

" See you at the Mall. I happened to meet Rayya and Aunt Rara. My mama just happens to have the same needs as Aunt Rara and leave Rayya." Ramadhan recounts the incident that caused him to drive Rayya home.

" Oh ...."

" Are you still in college or are there other activities?" ask Ramadan

" It's still focused on college, next year the plan is to jump directly into the world of work." Gibran.

" What faculty?"

" In the law."

" Oh okay, I'm going inside first. Want to say goodbye to Aunt Rara." Ramadhan bamitan wants to go to Azzahra.

" Oh, please ..." Gibran let her go while she stepped straight towards the house of Yoga.

Meanwhile, inside his house, Rayya immediately searched for Azzahra when entering the building of his parents' house.

" Assalamualaikum, where's Mommy, Sus?" rayya asked as she saw Bi Imah coming out of her room.

" Mommy's in the room. Nope." Sus Imah answered.

" Daddy's home yet?"

" No, Non."

" Oh yes, thank you, Sus." Rayya then runs up the stairs to call her Mommy because Ramadan will say goodbye.

" Mr ..." Rayya calls Azzahra when she opens the door to her parents' room.

" Rayya's home yet?" Azzahra who saw Rayya's arrival immediately approached her daughter.

" Rayya, Mommy's sorry. That was Aunt Anin ...."

" Bak Rama wants a farewell home, Mommy should meet Kak Rama. Rayya wants to pray Dzuhur first." Rayya cuts the word Azzahra. He doesn't want to discuss the matter right now.

" Yes, Mom meet Rama first."

" Please Mommy tell Brother Rama, Rayya wants to pray yes, Mom. It's been over one hour." Rayya reasoned to her Mommy because she did not want to see Ramadan anymore.

" Yes already then." Azzahra who understood the reason given by Rayya finally came out of his room to meet Ramadan in the living room of his house.
