RAMADAN IN RAYYA'S HEART

When Rayya Meet Rama's

" Grazie per essere venuti, signore e signori. per favore se vuoi vedere altri dipinti." (Thank you for the presence of the Master and Madam here, please if you want to see the other paintings) Rayya cupped both palms near his chest.

" Money photuna, Signorina." (Good luck, Miss ) One of the visitors gave his prayers to Rayya.

" Grazie mille, Signora." (Thank you very much, Madame ) Rayya smiled with a slight bow of her body. Then after the people he had accompanied to explain the painting left, Rayya also chose to return to the future because the time is almost before the Maghrib.

Rayya walked towards the front room. He finds Kayla talking to two men and one of them is Simone. One more man he didn't know who, for standing behind him. But Rayya did not care who the man was because what she expected was the presence of Simone that afternoon.

Rayya rushed over to Simone especially as Kayla pointed at her.

" Ciao, Simone ...!" Rayya greeted Simone with a smile on her lips. Because honestly, almost every day meeting with the man, there is a sense of kangen in his heart because some days did not meet the figure of his best friend.

But when the figure of the man who was behind him turned towards him, Rayya was immediately aghast with perfectly rounded eyes. At once also the smile that had been widened on his lips now began to fade when he found the existence of the man he had admired since childhood was now in front of him with Kayla. Rayya felt that all this time her conjecture over the relationship between Kayla and Ramadhan turned out to be true.

At once it was also oxygen as if it felt difficult to inhale, until what he felt was tightness in his chest.

" Ciao, Rayya ..." Even the reply from Simone seemed to be inaudible to his ears.

" Rayya?" Not much different from Rayya, Ramadhan also seemed surprised with wide eyes when he saw Rayya coming out of the room.

He had not believed his views because of the appearance of the woman he knew as the innocent daughter of Daddy's child who looked very fashionable but still looked feminine.

" Briety Rama ..." With a choked tone of voice in the throat Rayya also greeted Ramadan.

" Do you know each other?" Simone who saw Rayya and Ramadhan greeting each other immediately thought like that.

" Yes." Yeah." Rayya answered slowly.

" Why are you here?" Ramadhan is curious about Rayya's presence with Kayla.

" Rayya was studying in Rome and is now participating in my painting exhibition." Kayla explains why Rayya can be with him.

" You went to college here? Who are you here?" Ramadhan really did not expect if Rayya who is known to be shy can come up with his paintings. He had indeed heard that Rayya wanted to become a painter but judging from the grace period that he felt was quite short, he was really surprised to see Rayya's current figure.

While Rayya herself was busy neutralizing the turmoil in her heart. Even to get the words out was as if it was hard to do. Up to tens of thousands of kilometers away from Jakarta in order to organize his heart and forget the man who had refused to be betrothed to him, but unexpectedly he was actually reunited by the man who had rejected the match.

" Hey, why am I not considered here?" Simone who felt herself being ignored immediately protested.

" Oh sorry, Simone. Thank you so much for coming here." Rayya was grateful for the existence of Simone at that time, to make him able to speak again.

" For the Princess, whatever I will do" said Simone, crossing one hand on her chest and bowing her body slightly.

" You two are so romantic, anyway? Already, just formalize your relationship." Kayla who saw how romantic attitude Simone to Rayya immediately commented.

Rayya blushed in response to Kayla's words while Simone just chuckled while rubbing her nape. Now they seem to ignore the existence of Ramadan.

" Where will you stay, Simone?" ask Rayya later. Rayya chooses to talk to Simone rather than her having to misbehave when talking to Ramadhan.

" I'm staying at the same hotel as you" replied Simone. " Have you eaten? I brought you bread." Simone then offered the bread she had bought when she got off the train station.

" Thank you "Rayya received the bread that Simone offered her.

" Just for Rayya? I didn't buy it, Simone?" Kayla thunches.

" The bread is many, it will not be possible to spend by his small mouth." Simone jokingly made Rayya and Kayla chuckle. Only Ramadhan who just silently did not react staring alternately Rayya, Simone and Kayla.

" That's a good idea. I agree." Simone agrees to Ramadan's proposal, while Rayya and Kayla seem to object to Ramadan's request.

" I, the exhibit just closed at seven. You guys, if you eat three, please." Kayla had reasoned first.

" I, I want Maghrib prayers." Rayya now mentioned the reason.

" Come, Rama is my uncle's client and it turns out you two know Rama. So there's no harm if we eat together, right? You fast pray first, after that we go to eat together." Simone seemed excited to want them to eat together.

***

After the first day of the exhibition closed, the four of them went to the restaurant to have dinner together. For Ramadhan and Simone it feels like a double date of their departure together.

" You went to college alone in Rome, Ray?" Ramadhan who had not had a chance to ask Rayya finally asked what made him curious.

" I'm with Brother Willy, Brother." said Rayya did not want to look at the face of Ramadan.

" Willy actually wanted to come here, too, but because Mommy's coming so she can't come here." Simone was like Rayya's spokesman answering Ramadan's questions.

" Sister was shocked when he saw you earlier, Rayya. Brother did not expect you will go to college so far, because you think you are always with Kia," said Ramadhan still with his astonishment.

" And it turns out that Om Gavin gave you permission to go to college here, huh?" continued.

" There is Brother Willy who accompanies," replied Rayya.

" And I am also accompanying." Simone added.

" So Rayya this is the woman you told me about from yesterday, Simone?" tanya Ramadhan turned to Simone.

" Yes, that's right. I also told Rayya that my uncle's client is Indonesian, young and very handsome. And it turns out you two know each other." Simone chuckles.

" Why didn't I get suspicious when you said you were friends with Kayla, why didn't I think you knew Rayya too, huh?" continued Simone with a frown.

" Yes, we've known each other since childhood. Mommy Rayya and Mama I've been friends for decades. Papa me and Daddy Rayya are also business partners. Even our parents had wanted to betroth us both, but fortunately we were able to reject it quickly."

The words of Ramadan made the three people who were with him gasp in shock. Even Rayya himself almost choked during Ramadan telling him something that he thought had broken his heart at the time.
