RAMADAN IN RAYYA'S HEART

More Confident

After picking up Rayya, Gavin and Azzahra then enjoy the beautiful attractions in the city of Rome. One of them visited was the fountain that became one of the icons of the city of Etarnal City Rome, Fontana di Trevi.

This very famous fountain has the myth of throwing coins into the pool of The Fountain Trevi.

" Mom, let's throw a coin in that pool." Rayya asks Azzahra to throw coins into the pool.

" The way to throw the coin should be to turn your back on the fountain using your hands through your left shoulder like this." Rayya tried to practice how to throw coins. " The myth is that if we throw a coin in there, we'll definitely come back someday, even though coming back here isn't impossible." Rayya chuckles.

Azzahra and Gavin followed what their daughter had done.

" Be careful throwing it, Honey. Maybe the coin hit people's heads." Gavin warned.

" How many times do we have to throw this coin into that pool, Baby?" ask Gavin later.

" According to the myth, the second throw is the hope that we will find our true love, and the third throw is believed that happiness with a partner will end in marriage." Rayya explained.

" Then we don't have to throw the second and third coins, Honey. We have found our true love and our love is already happy in a single marriage bond." Gavin hugged and kissed Azzahra.

" By, embarrassed to see people!" Azzahra immediately protested Gavin's attitude, while Rayya just smiled to find the behavior of his parents who were no less romantic with a young couple.

" It's all just a myth, Dad. As religious people we can only believe in Allah SWT." Rayya asserted that it is only one tradition that should not be trusted absolutely.

" Rayya's right, By. Our kids are getting smarter and smarter." Azzahra grabbed his daughter's shoulder.

" Of course, Daddy's son." Gavin said proudly.

" Mommy's son also dong, Dad!" Rayya immediately interrupted Gavin's words before Azzahra complained Gavin's words.

" Dad and Mom sit there and let Rayya take a picture." Rayya asked both her parents to perpetuate their visit there.

In the evening, Gavin and Azzahra also spend time enjoying the beautiful city of Rome with Rayya because tomorrow they will return to Jakarta. William had to go to Florence, also known as Florence. They visited the Roman heritage building, the Colosseum which looks more beautiful with lights that illuminate.

" It's worth Rayya to be at home here. There are so many beautiful buildings you can paint here, right?" said Azzahra enjoy the beauty of the tourist attraction in front of him.

" Yes, Mom. Rayya was also painting this Colosseum yesterday. From Rayya's room also this building looks really, Mom." said Rayya.

" Baby, does your sister often leave you alone like this?" Gavin suddenly remembered that William was still busy with his work.

" No, Dad. Brother Willy just went out of town this time." Not intended to cover up but indeed William had never left Rayya alone before.

" Later Dad will tell your brother to be more concerned with you than his job." Gavin takes a stance of wanting to ban William whom he sees as too busy with his work rather than accompanying Rayya.

" It can't be that way, Dad. Willy's brother has to be professional with his job. Dad has forced Willy to move to college and work just to accompany Rayya here. The present must be arranged for this again, Dad?" Rayya felt bad if William was restricted by Gavin.

" Dad, please ... Rayya's fine, right here. Don't worry about Rayya. I just pray that Rayya goes to college here." Rayya rubbed Gavin's arm trying to give understanding to his Daddy who was so very fond of him.

***

Rayya and William are now in their second year of study in Italy. William's final year of college because the Master's degree he will achieve is only two years, while Rayya himself must study for three years to achieve his Bachelor's degree.

Rayya and Simone's relationship continues to run well, even now William is not awkward to ask for help Simone if he is unable to take Rayya home. Rayya's friends are not only about Simone. He is now starting to learn to interact with many other students from the campus he is studying.

" Rayya, dove Simone?" (Rayya, where Simone ) asked Donna while eating pasta in front of her.

Rayya pulled the tissue and wiped her lips that were affected by the ketchup

" Sta parlando con il signor Matteo." (He was talking to Mr. Matteo) Rayya explained where Simone was because she was not with him.

" Rayya, Ragazzi state uscendo?" (Rayya, are you guys dating) asked Monica, because she saw that Rayya and Simone were very close.

" No!" Rayya answered quickly while laughing. " No siamo solo amici." (We're just friends) tepis Rayya.

" Ma voigazzi siete cosin vicini, pensavamo che vi frequentaste." (But you guys are so close, we think you guys are dating) Monica said later.

" Ciao, at the cosa state parlando ragazzi?" (Hey, what are you guys talking about) Simone's voice had suddenly sounded near the three of them. The man then sat down beside Rayya.

Rayya of course was shocked by Simone's appearance, because they were talking about the man. And the appearance of Simone coming from behind him made him unaware. Unlike Donna and Monica who were giggling because they had seen Simone coming from the entrance of the canteen.

" Niente." (Nothing) Rayya answered quickly as she swerved towards Donna and Monica.

" Rayya confusa, ti piace davvero o no?" (Rayya was confused, Actually you like him or not) Donna chuckled.

" Donna!!" Rayya immediately reprimanded Donna with a glare. " No, Simone! Not ascoltare, not bugia!" (No, Simone! Don't listen, he's lying) Rayya's trying to dismiss Donna's accusations. Simone smiled in response.

" Rayya, vuoi vedere una mostra at pittura al Museo di Palazzo Cipolla?" (Rayya, do you want to see a painting exhibition at the Palazzo Cipolla Museum) Simone seems to want to take Rayya to a painting exhibition.

" Milio ..." (I want ) Donna and Monica answered in unison.

" Non l'ho chiesto a voi due!" (I didn't ask you two) Simone said of Donna and Monica. Makes the two women sneer.

" Quando la mostra?" (When the show was ) asked Rayya.

" La prossima settimana." (Next week ) replied Simone.

" Va bene vogliao." (All right I want ) Rayya said.

" dw, Simone. Non ci hai invitato?" ( Hey, Simone. Did you not invite us ) protest Donna who felt ignored.

" Non ho bisogno in invitarvi, puoi andarci tu stesso." (No need for me to invite, you can go there yourself) replied Simone laughing to make Rayya join in chuckling.

They ended up spending their rest time chatting and joking cheerfully. Rayya really enjoyed her interactions with her new friends on campus. Rayya is no longer the shy girl who is always behind Azkia if she has to face her friends. More than a year of living away from parents made him learn to be an independent and more confident person.
