" Yes, it is Rayya! Kak Rama's own people who told Rayya that Kak Rama will not be able to give love Kak Rama for Rayya if you continue the matchmaking. Is it good to feel your own love? Mending just canceled the match."
Rayya's real eyes narrowed because the sembab immediately widened when he heard Azkia's speech. He did not expect Azkia to reveal her secret. Not only in front of Ramadan, but in front of his Daddy, Ricky and Dirga. And of course what he was afraid of was the reaction from his Daddy, until now his eyes were directed towards the big tall man before him.
Sure enough as Rayya had guessed, this time Gavin was looking at her full of question marks. Highlight the eyes that were always soft if he looked at her now as if turning into firm as if looking until Rayya lowered her gaze. And now Gavin's eyes shifted towards Ramadan, the man standing not far from him. The young man seemed to feel completely wrong because he was caught if he had planned to thwart the matchmaking plan of Ramadhan and Rayya. Gavin stared at Ramadan who dared not look at him with disappointed eyes. He did not expect that Ramadan had influenced his daughter to lie.
Not much different from Gavin, Ricky was no less surprised to know if Ramadan had planned Rayya's decision. He did find out if his son refused to be betrothed. But if it affects Rayya to refuse their matchmaking, Ricky feels it is a very embarrassing act as a man. Ricky looked at his son with a hardened jaw. Somehow he had to face Gavin because of his son. Ricky was very embarrassed.
While Dirga immediately shook his head knowing the behavior of the son of his assistant. How not? After suppressing Rayya by saying it will not give love, Ramadan can say if the cancellation of the match because Rayya wants to pursue his ideals. It does not reflect the attitude of a real man, he said.
" Kia, why talk like that?" rayya whispered to his cousin.
" Let it go, let others know especially Uncle Gavin and also Om Ricky. That Kak Rama gave Rayya two choices. Continue the match but will not give love or equally cancel the match. So did Brother Rama tell you that night to make you cry?!"
" That ...!" Rayya immediately pulled Azkia's hand and wanted to take her cousin away from there. " I'm sorry, Rayya, excuse me, Om, Dad."
" Kat Rama is aware, right? If Kak Rama's attitude that night had made Rayya heartbroken." Azkia continues to babble making Rayya feel embarrassed because her secret was dismantled by Azkia. Rayya further accelerated his steps carrying Azkia away from the presence of the men earlier.
" Kia ...! Why the hell, did Kia have to tell people about it? Rayya's shy, Kia!" Rayya issued his uncles because of the attitude of Azkia who had told the problem of his agreement with Ramadhan about refusing arranged marriages.
" Let people know, Ray. Especially Om Ricky and Om Dirga to know the behavior of their children and nephews." Azkia says the reason for this is to unlock the secrets of Rayya and Ramadan.
" Don't you think the impact will be what about my Daddy's relationship with Om Ricky? If my Daddy knew this, Dad would be angry with Kak Rama. Then what if it's going to affect the friendship between Dad and Om Ricky's family? Can you think in that direction?! Kia also did not think how Rayya felt? Rayya's ashamed, Kia! Rayya thinks Kia can keep this secret from everyone, it turns out ..." Rayya who seemed disappointed by his cousin's attitude immediately expressed his frustration towards Azkia. " Rayya regretted having trusted Kia all this time!" Rayya then ran away from Azkia with great emotion.
" Ray, Kia didn't mean it that way!" Azkia tries to chase after Rayya but Natasha calls out to him first.
" Kia, why? Why is Rayya crying like that?" natasha asked who had seen Rayya crying while running past her.
" There's nothing, Ma." Azkia covered up the small quarrel that had occurred between her and Rayya.
" Come on home soon!" Natasha then takes Azkia home.
Meanwhile a tense atmosphere was felt between Ramadan, Gavin and Ricky after the departure of Rayya and Azkia.
" Rama, what Azkia said was true?" ricky asked her intimidatingly about her son.
" Rama, Rama .. you may throw a mistake at Rayya for pursuing the ideal." Dirga seemed to fixate the atmosphere until it got hotter.
Ramadhan does not answer the words of Ricky and Dirga. He was now focused on looking at Gavin who was just silent but was looking at him with a sharp unsheathed look as if he wanted to kill him. Ramadhan understands that Gavin will be very disappointed with him.
" I'm sorry, Om." That's the only word that comes out of the mouth of Ramadan.
" Mister Gavin, I as Rama's parents, I apologize profusely for this birthday of my son. I really don't know what else to say. I'm ashamed of the attitude he's shown toward your daughter, Mr. Gavin." Ricky apologizes to Gavin. He felt bad for Ramadan's actions towards Rayya.
Gavin just took a deep breath. As a father who knew his daughter was treated that way by a man her daughter loved, of course she felt disappointed. Especially when hearing Azkia's words if Rayya is heartbroken and cries with Ramadan attitude. She recalled that night Rayya was just plain and tough, she did not expect that her daughter would deliberately cover up her and Azzahra's heartache. He alone who was forced to marry Azzahra, not to say the sentence will not be able to give love if it gets together, although he and Azzahra always had a fight, the mouth, in fact, both he and his wife now love each other and live happily.
" Rick, you better get your son out of here soon." Dirga who saw Gavin seemed heavy received an apology from Ramadhan and Ricky told his assistant and his son immediately left Dad David's house.
" I'm sorry, Mr. Gavin. Again, I deeply regret my son's actions. Ardernath ..." With a heavy heart Ricky said goodbye to Gavin.
" Neurova ..." Gavin greets and receives Ricky's handshake.
" Om, Rama's really sorry." Ramadhan wanted to grab the back of Gavin's hand but Gavin put his hand in his pocket. " Rama, excuse me, Om. Ariston ..." Ramadhan said goodbye and followed his father.
" Waalaikumsalam .." - Gavin said in a soft tone after Ramadan to stay away from him.
" Well, as Om of Rama, I'm sorry, Vin. I didn't think that kid would hurt your daughter." Dirga embraces Gavin's shoulders. " I hope that whatever happens between Rayya and also Rama, will not affect the cord of friendship that has been very well established between the family of the late Om David and also the extended family of the late Papaku." Dirga patted Gavin's shoulder.
" I also have a daughter, and my son has loved a man since he was a child because we had already betrothed them. I can feel how you are, Vin." Dirga tried to calm Gavin down. He certainly did not want the relationship between his family and the Gavin family to be flawed just because of the stupid act of Ramadan.
" It's okay, Ga." Gavin patted Dirga on the back as if confirming that what Ramadan does will not affect their friendship as a business partner or as a friend.
" I'll say it first, assalamualaikum ..." Dirga finally came to say goodbye to leave the house of Dad David.
" Neurobeach ...."

" Accelod ..." Ricky greets Anindita as she enters her home. He walked first because Ramadan had to park his car.
" Waalaikumsalam .. have you returned, Pa?" Anindita greets Ricky by kissing the back of her husband's hand and then wrapping her hand around Ricky's waist.
" It's been." Ricky who is still upset by the acts of Ramadan still can not cover up his disappointment.
" Accelod ..." Ramadan is now entering the house.
" Neurova ..." Anindita answered the greetings from her son.
" Papa wait for your explanation in the study, Rama!" Ricky, who on his way home was deliberately silent about the problem, now asked Ramadhan to explain what his son had been doing all along.
" Yes, Pa. Rama change first." Ramadhan then walked towards his room.
" Is there, Pa?" Anindita who felt there was an atmosphere of tension between her husband and son immediately asked.
" Mama's son has really embarrassed Papa against Mr. Gavin."
Anindita frowned in response to her husband's words.
" He's Papa's son too, you know!" Anindita protested because her husband only called himself the parent of Ramadan.
" What happened to Rama, Pa?" ask Anindita curious.
" Why did Rayya and Rama's matchmaking plan fail?"
Ricky breathed a rough hearing the reason Rayya used was the result of his son's actions.
" It turns out that it was Rama who influenced Rayya to cancel the arranged marriage plan, Ma."
Anindita knitted her brows at Ricky's words. " Don't you mean Papa?"
" Rama gave Rayya the choice to cancel the match or accept the match but on condition that Rama would not be able to give her love to Rayya."
Anindita is shocked to learn what her son has done to Rayya.
" Rama said that, Pa? Oh, God ..." Anindita looked shocked. " Don't you know where?"
" Azkia, Azkia said that. And what makes Papa more embarrassed, it was revealed in front of Mr. Gavin and Mr. Dirga." Ricky breathed a rough breath. " Don't you know where to put Papa's face in front of Mr Gavin's family, Ma? Mama is a woman, surely Mama understands how Rayya feels when she hears Rama say that, even though Rayya does not love Rama." Ricky does not know if his son is actually very liked by Rayya.
" Geez, Rama ..." Anindita directly massaged her temple. " Mama doesn't feel good about Rara like this, Pa."
" Otherwise, Papa, Ma. Rama has really humiliated us in the presence of Mr. Gavin's family" Ricky complained. " Yes, Papa wants to change clothes first ..." Ricky and Anindita walk to his room.

After leaving Azkia, Rayya immediately ran into her room because she really felt disappointed in Azkia. When others are disappointed in Ramadan, Rayya is the only one disappointed in her cousin.
Rayya threw her body on the bed and let out her sense of regret by crying. He still did not expect that Azkia would uncover all her secrets. Perhaps if he did not drag Azkia down immediately, his decision to study abroad as one of his reasons for treating her heartache would be unlocked as well by Azkia.
Meanwhile, after Dirga's departure, Gavin immediately searched for the whereabouts of his daughter. She knew very well that her daughter was feeling sad.
" Honey, where's Baby?" ask Gavin to Azzahra.
" Rayya?" Azzahra looked for her daughter's whereabouts but could not find her. " Maybe in his room, By."
" Let's go to Baby's room!" Gavin took his wife to see his daughter. And Azzahra followed her husband's orders until now they both climbed the stairs to Rayya's room.
" Baby ..." Gavin knocks on his daughter's room while Azzahra grabs Rayya's room door handle.
" The door is locked, By." said Azzahra, having found Rayya's door locked from the inside.
" Babie ...! Open the door, Baby ...!" Gavin again knocked on Rayya's room door.
" Rayya, open the door, honey." Rayya knocks on Rayya's door.
After about five minutes of waiting, Rayya's room door was opened from the inside.
" Baby ...."
" Jean ...."
Gavin and Azzahra went straight into the room and saw Rayya's eyes still wet.
" Rayya, you're still sad because of Grandpa, huh? Grandpa must be sad if Rayya is sad to continue like this." Azzahra hugged her daughter. He did not know there was another event that had just happened.
" Baby, why didn't Baby tell us that? Why is Baby hiding to Daddy and Mommy?" Gavin rubbed Rayya's head.
" Tell me what? What's Rayya hiding, By?" azzahra asked confusedly.
" On the failure of Baby's matchmaking plan first, Honey."
" Dad, please ..." Rayya asks her Daddy not to discuss the matter anymore.
" What else is going on with that, By? It's obvious they're refusing."
" It's all Rama's engineering."
" Dad, that's it. Don't talk about it anymore." Rayya pleads but Gavin does not.
" When Rama came to our house that night and took Baby out, you remember that, Honey?"
Azzahra nodded her head, of course she remembered the incident.
" It turns out that time Rama gave a choice to Baby. Refusing matchmaking or accepting matchmaking but she insists that she will not be able to give love to our daughter."
Azzahra was flabbergasted as she widened her eyes knowing the secret that her daughter had been hiding. He could feel how disappointed Rayya was at that time, because he was blatantly hurt by the man his daughter liked.
" Geez, Rayya ..." Azzahra directly rubbed Rayya's head.
" Rayya's okay, Mom, Dad." Rayya is still trying to convince both her parents if she's okay.
" I didn't expect Rama to do that, By." Azzahra turned to her husband.
Gavin grunted rudely. " He really underestimated our family. Who does he think he is? How dare he hurt our baby!" Now Gavin rubbed Rayya's face which still felt moist because of tears. " From now on, remove the name of Rama in your heart. Don't expect him anymore! Forever, Daddy won't accept him to be the son-in-law of Gavin Richard's family!" gavin is full of emotion.
