RAMADAN IN RAYYA'S HEART

The Dumbest Man in the World

On Sunday morning, Edward and Nadia invited Rayya and Simone to have breakfast together at their home. Actually Rayya wants to refuse because of the existence of Ramadan which is most likely to be invited there. Not to mention Farah who turned out to be a friend of Kayla would also be there. But because Rayya did not feel good to refuse the request of Kayla's parents, especially Kayla also pleaded with Rayya to come, finally Rayya was very forced to follow Kayla's request.

In front of the dining table they are now minus Farah who must prepare for a fashion show held later in the afternoon.

" Simone is your girlfriend, Rayya?" asked Edward who saw Simone's presence with Rayya this morning.

Rayya and Simone who were sitting next to each other looked at each other.

" We're just friends, Om." Rayya finally answered Edward's question.

" Friends will be able to like each other for a long time" said Kayla teasing Rayya and Simone.

Ramadhan looked at Kayla with astonished eyes. What Kayla said, that was how she felt right now. But why Kayla did not understand her feelings for the woman, complained Ramadan.

" Simone, a woman as good as Rayya, don't let go just like that" Kayla said.

" Of course, Kayla. Only a foolish man would dare to let go of a woman like Rayya." Looks like Simone has a loophole to insinuate Ramadan.

And it turns out that Simone's innuendo successfully made Ramadhan turn to him.

" Yes, but you have to be gentle, yeah! If Rayya refuses, you must not force her to accept you. The coming of love cannot be denied but we cannot force that person to accept us." Kayla is deliberately insinuating Ramadhan who has forced his will.

Ramadhan turned back to Kayla. He realized that Kayla was currently insinuating him indirectly.

" Yes, right. Don't force someone to accept our love. Even though we can have it, it's just the pseudo happiness we get." Nadia who had just listened to now also commented, because she had once done stupid by forcing herself to marry Dirga even though Dirga clearly did not love her. " Rather than we force ourselves, it is better to open our hearts to another love that is waiting for us without us knowing." Nadia felt her arm being rubbed by Edward. The figure of the man who finally made himself aware of his dreams. And Edward is now the one who has given complete happiness to Nadia with household mahligai that has been running for more than twenty years.

After breakfast with Edward's family, Rayya and Simone finally say goodbye because they have to return to Rome.

" Rayya, sei una donna speciale, Non piangere per le persone stupid che ti ignorano." (Rayya, you're a special woman, don't cry over a fool who ignores you)

Rayya turned her gaze from the window of the plane towards Simone who was sitting beside her.

" Cosa intendi?" (You mean )

" Mentre a Positano, William ha detto che ami davvero l'uomo che rifiuta di essere abbinato a te." (When in Positano, William said if you love a man who refuses to be betrothed to you )

Rayya's eyes are rounded knowing that her brother has revealed his secret to Simone.

" E non credo che colui che ti ha respinto sia stato Rama." (And I do not suppose that the man was Rama)

Rayya let out a long sigh, she did not expect Simone to know about her story at all.

" Non preoccuparti, Simone. Io sto bene." (Don't worry, Simone. I'm fine ) Rayya said with a smile.

" Penso che Rama sia l'uomo pi agore stupido in questo mondo." (I think Rama is the stupidest man in the world) said Simone felt upset himself to Ramadan. " True preoccupato di perseguire una donna che lo ignora che di accettare una donna che lo ama veramente." (It is more important for a woman to ignore her than to accept a woman who truly loves her)

" I'amore non pu essere forzato." (Love cannot be forced) Rayya said later.

" Avessi saputo che era lui a farti del male, non l'avrei aiutato." (If I knew he hurt you, I wouldn't help him) Sesal Simone because during his time in Italy, Simone helped Ramadan a lot, not only as a translator but also like a tour guide for the man.

" Non portare rancore, Simone. Non buono." (Don't hold a grudge, Simone. It was not good) Rayya turned to look at Simone who looked regretful.

And now Simone was staring fixedly at Rayya.

" Sei davvero una donna straordinaria, Rayya." (You really are an amazing woman, Rayya ) Simone really admires Rayya's figure so perfectly she thinks. Not only from his outer appearance but also from his attitude and also his heart that looks big-spirited does not hate the person who has hurt him.

" Sopravvalutando noodles, Simone." (You overestimated me, Simone) Rayya humbled himself by dismissing the notion that she was an extraordinary woman, because she herself felt that she had many flaws.

" Spero che tu non pension pi a quel razzo. Una brava donna come te non merita and uomo stupido come lui." (No more crying for a guy like him. A woman as good as you doesn't deserve a stupid man like her )

" Si, Simone. Non dobbiamo pi parlarne." (Yes, Simone. We don't have to talk about that anymore ) asked Rayya so that Simone would not discuss the problem again.

" Okey."

Simone stopped talking about Ramadan, because she did not want to make Rayya more hurt.

" Accelod ..." Rayya said hello as she opened the door of her apartment.

" Neurova ..." Jovanka who was in the apartment immediately replied. " Have you come home, Rayya?"

" Yes, Auntie." Rayya. " Per favore, metti and quel dipinto, Simone." (Please put the painting there, Simone ) Rayya asked Simone to put the painting near the chair.

Of the ten paintings he brought to exhibit, two were sold. Although the money he received was nothing compared to the allowance that every month his Daddy sent, but Rayya was happy because he could make money from his own efforts. In addition, he gained experience and also got recommendations to be able to participate in exhibitions like this in the future

" Oh yeah, Auntie. Meet Simone, Rayya's friend and Willy's sister." Rayya then introduces Simone to Jovanka.

" Hello, Aunt. How are you doing? I'm Simone." Simone then introduces Jovanka.

" Hi, Simone. Good aunt, Alhamdulillah." Jovanka welcomed Simone's hand. Although Jovanka was a bit surprised to hear Simone can speak Indonesian.

" Simone is an Indonesian-Italian crossbreed, Auntie." Rayya explained because she saw Jovanka rather amazed to hear Simone speaking Indonesian.

" Oh, pantesan ...."

" Which sister Willy is Michelle, Auntie?" asked Rayya because she felt the atmosphere of the apartment looked lonely.

" Willy is accompanying Michelle to church" Jovanka said. William and Michelle have different beliefs about their religion. William follows Jovanka while Michelle follows the religion of Peter, her Daddy.

Shortly after, William and Michelle arrive at the apartment.

" Campaign ..." William's voice sounded from the direction of the entrance.

" Neurova ..." Rayya and Jovanka are together.

" You guys are home?" William who saw the whereabouts of Rayya and Simone immediately greeted them both. " How's the show going?" ask William.

" Thank God for success, brother. Many people like my paintings" Rayya said proudly.

" Thank God, then" said William. " Simone, questa and Sorella Michelle." William then introduces Michelle to William.

" Hi, I'm Michelle ..." Michelle extended her hand to Simone.

" Simone." Simone also welcomed the greeting of the introduction from Michelle.

" Rayya, who is he? So handsome. She's your girlfriend, isn't she? If it's not your girlfriend, just make me, huh?" Michelle giggled in praise of Simone's performance. Michelle thinks that Simone doesn't understand Indonesian.

" Hey, Michele carefully you speak, Simone understands Indonesian." William warns his sister who seems interested in Simone.

" Seriously?" Michelle immediately widened her eyes to hear William say. He immediately grinned while scratching his nape as he was caught praising Simone.

" Le tue sorelle sono cosin belle, William." (Your sisters are beautiful, William) Simone chuckled.

" Rayya, what did she say?" michelle asked Rayya.

" Simone says you're so chatty" Rayya said in a voice heard by the person there made William, Simone, Jovanka and Rayya herself laugh. Only Michelle was seen immediately pursing her lips.
