RAMADAN IN RAYYA'S HEART

If You See Will Fall in Love

Finally Rayya had to go to Milan on his own because of the sudden arrival of Jovanka and Michele. Actually Jovanka allowed William to accompany Rayya, but Rayya who refused because he felt bad if William was more concerned with himself than Jovanka and her other sister.

Around nine and ten minutes Rayya arrived at Linate, the second airport in Milan besides Malpesa. Because the gallery where the exhibition was held was only about Iima kilometers from Linate, William finally preferred a flight from Fiumicino, Fiumicino, the largest airport in Italy or better known as Leonardo da Vinci Airport to Linate instead of Malpesa. Rayya himself was immediately picked up by Kayla in Linate when he found out if William canceled to take Rayya to Milan because Rayya had only visited the city of Milan for the first time.

" I'm sorry, Brother. Rayya's a bother for Kayla." Rayya apologizes for having Kayla pick him up.

" It's okay, Rayya. It is precisely Brother who thanks you for participating in the event that Brother held." Kayla then runs her car engine. " We go straight to the gallery, yeah. It's only about ten minutes from here" Kayla said.

" It's up to Kayla" Rayya said.

" The hotel you are staying at is also close to the gallery. Less than five minutes can also reach the hotel." said Kayla back.

" Yes, Brother."

" If you know your brother does not come, mending you stay at Brother's place, yes?"

Rayya chuckled at the sentence Kayla said. " Yes, Brother. Auntie Jo came suddenly."

" Auntie Jo is your aunt?" ask Kayla.

" She's Mommy's sister Willy."

Kayla turned to Rayya. " Willy's mother? You mean, you're not one mother?"

" Yes, Brother." Rayya agrees but he does not want to tell Kayla more of William's origins.

" Oh, you know. But is your relationship with the family of Willy's mother?" ask Kayla curious.

" Yes, because Daddy and Grandpa always try to bring us closer together and teach Rayya to respect the family of her Mommy Brother Willy. However, Willy and Rayya remain bloodless despite being born to different Mommy. That's why we can be familiar especially Willy's sister also has a sister who is similar to Rayya as well." Rayya explained.

" Well, I'm amazed by the way your parents' family thinks. Even though you've split up, you haven't cut your friendship off." Kayla thinks Jovanka is Gavin's ex-wife.

Rayya only smiled faintly in response to Kayla's remark. He couldn't possibly have said that his Daddy never married Jovanka.

About ten minutes of travel, they finally arrived at the building to be rented by Kayla to hold an exhibition of his paintings. After talking with the officers in the building, Rayya also asked some officers there to install his painting.

" What time is Kayla coming here tomorrow?" ask Rayya.

" Opening at ten in the morning, it's likely that from eight Brother is here to make sure again everything is okay" Kayla said. " We eat first, after that Brother take you to the hotel." Kayla then invited Rayya to lunch at one of the halal restaurants located near the gallery.

Rayya had just finished performing Dzuhur prayers when her phone rang. Rayya quickly grabbed her phone.

" Proto, Rayya, sei arrivata a milano?" ( Hello, Rayya. You have arrived in Milan ) It turns out Simone was the one who called him.

" Ciao Simone's. Yes, sono in hotel ora." ( Hi, Simone. I am in a hotel now )

" Hey avuto problemi? (Are you having a hard time there) asked Simone worried because she knew that William would cancel Rayya's trip to Milan, while he also could not accompany the woman.

" Io sto bene. Kayla and venuto to prendermi." (I'm fine, Kayla was the one who hit me ) Rayya answered so that Simone would not worry.

" Dove sei ora?" (Where are you now) asked Rayya later.

" Sono stato a Firenze con mio zio e il suo cliente. Pensavo che il cliente di mio zio fosse vecchio, invece era giovane e bello." (I've got Florence accompanying my Om and his client. I think my uncle's client is old and he's young and handsome) Simone explained to Rayya how her uncle's client was.

" Allora dovresti presentarmelo." (Then you have to introduce her to me) Rayya chuckles deliberately teasing Simone because she believes that Simone will definitely reject her request.

" No! Non lo faro!" (No! I won't do that ) Simone insisted making Rayya laugh again.

" Devo accompagnare il cliente di mio zio. Richiamero pi tardi, pranditi cura di te stesso. Ciao Rayya's." (I have to accompany my uncle's client. Later I call again, you take good care of yourself ) said Simone because she had to take Ramadhan back.

" Grazie, Simone. Ciao ..." Rayya then hangs up Simone's phone call.

At about 05.45 minutes Rayya woke up in the morning. He immediately cleaned himself up before performing the morning prayers which will start at 06.03 Milan time this morning.

After cleaning up and carrying out the duties of two rakaat and eating breakfast provided by the hotel, Rayya was getting ready to go to the gallery. On this first day he used a black dress with a long coat teracotta color and white hijab with the use of ankle boots make his appearance look fashionable.

At about eight and five minutes Rayya arrived at the gallery, and Kayla was seen to have arrived there with her parents.

" Asalamualaikum, Om, Aunt." Rayya greeted Kayla's parents and greeted Nadia and Edward.

" Neylorda." Edward and Nadia answered Rayya's greeting.

" Om Edo and Aunt Nadia, how are you?" ask Rayya later.

" Thank God Om and Auntie well, Rayya." Edward who today deliberately took his time to accompany Kayla answered Rayya's question.

" Why don't you tell Auntie that she's studying in Rome anyway, Rayya?" Nadia patted Rayya on the shoulder.

" Yes sorry, Auntie. Rayya doesn't know Aunt's phone number so can't call Auntie." Rayya reasoned.

" Why don't you ask Mommy?" ask Nadia back.

" Rayya's shy, Auntie." Rayya blushed.

" Geez, why should I be ashamed? Mommy's auntie you're friends too, right?" Nadia shook her head looking at Rayya's innocence.

" Rey, you had breakfast? We'll have breakfast, yuk!" take Kayla later.

" Rayya has breakfast already, sister." Rayya refused subtly.

" Yes already then come along, you just copy first, yuk! My mom and dad." Kayla pulled Rayya's hand until she followed Kayla's footsteps behind her parents.
