RAMADAN IN RAYYA'S HEART

Ask Azkia for Help

Ramadhan walked into his Papa's office under the watchful eye of two pairs that stared at him sharply as if full of anger. Even his mother whom he had known all along had never been angry with him, tonight put on a gaze full of blazing emotions.

Ramadhan then chose to sit on the chair to the right of the sofa occupied by his parents who were sitting with folded hands on the chest.

" Rama, Mama really did not finish thinking you could do that to Rayya! If you do not agree to the match, why do you have to do something stupid by saying you will not be able to give love to Rayya? Who do you think you are? Who do you think our family is until you dare to talk like that to Rayya, huh?! Rayya's parents' family is a distinguished family, and we are nothing compared to them. What if they think you've insulted them? Mama's ashamed to have met Aunt Rara after what you did to her daughter. Why are you the one who doesn't have this feeling, Rama? I never taught you to be the one to hurt other people's feelings!" Not yet Ramadhan explained and not yet Ricky had asked the reason for Ramadan, Anindita first vent his emotions by berating his eldest son.

" Are you thinking about the effect of this act of yours, Rama? For our family relationship with Rayya's family? For the cooperation relationship of the company Angkasa Raya with the company Papanya Rayya? Why are you taking such a rash action, Rama?" Anindita still chases Ramadhan with questions that corner her son.

" Did you also tell Rayya that the reason you refused was because you liked Kayla? You refused to be betrothed to Rayya, then three years passed, did you get Kayla? You didn't even have a lover until now, Rama."

" I'm sorry Rama, Ma." Ramadhan does not know how to explain the problems he has done. He had already firmly rejected the match, but his parents forced him. She feels no wrong about it, but it is an affirmation that she cannot give love to Rayya and that is spoken directly in front of Rayya, maybe that was the fatal mistake he had made and made both his parents very emotional.

" Don't you know how to meet Mr Gavin after this?" Ricky also seemed to have lost his words of disappointment towards Ramadan.

" Mama always wished you could be like your Papa, Rama. Your father was a responsible man, and never hurt a woman." Anindita compared Ramadan to her husband.

" Rama is really sorry, Ma." Only words of forgiveness and regret can Ramadan say, because he does not have enough words to convey his defense. He really felt guilty for saying that to Rayya.

After a trial that was filled with more of Anindita's nagging, Ramadhan returned to his room. He threw his body on the bed.

" Aarrrgghh, si*al ...!" ramadan is upset.

" 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?!"

Ramadhan suddenly remembered Azkia's words about Rayya's condition after he asked Rayya to make a choice about the fate of their match.

" Riley is crying? That night Rayya cried?" Ramadhan tried to remember the events of that night. That night she felt that if Rayya looked tough, she did not even see the woman shed her tears.

" Kat Rama is aware, right? If Kak Rama's attitude that night had made Rayya heartbroken."

" Have I made Rayya cry and been heartbroken? Butwhy? Wasn't Rayya okay that night? Does Rayya like me?" Ramadhan was confused by Rayya's attitude that he faced that night with what Azkia told him was different.

" Rayya likes me?" Ramadhan wonders in his heart.

" But Rayya very much expected the presence of Kak Rama there. The presence of Kak Rama is like the most beautiful gift at Rayya's birthday."

" Because Rayya since childhood has admired Brother Rama."

" It was when Kia was the same Rayya still SD, Rama ever help Rayya when she fell, right? From there Rayya admired Brother Rama."

" Bak Rama does not remember but it is very memorable for Rayya you know, Brother."

Ramadhan recalls talking to Azkia when the woman who had revealed her secret came to her house and asked her to attend Rayya's seventeen-year birthday party. At that time Azkia said that Rayya since childhood greatly admired him.

" Is it because Rayya admires me so she feels sad, crying and heartbroken?" Ramadan is plagued with guilt.

He really still remembered Rayya's attitude that night that did not show sadness, but it turned out that the woman harbored heartache for her words. And during this time Rayya actually covered what has been done by Ramadan so far from their parents.

" Oh my God, I hurt Rayya ..." Ramadhan rubbed his face rough.

Ramadhan then took his cell phone. She wants to apologize to Rayya, but she doesn't have the woman's phone number. Ramadan is about Azkia. She wants to ask Rayya for her number, but given how emotional she was when she leaked the secret, she is not sure if Azkia will give Rayya her number.

Ramadan still thinks who has Rayya's number.

" Thalita, she must have Rayya's number." Ramadhan sent a message to his brother. And about a minute waiting, finally a reply message from Thalita went into his phone.

" Sister Rayya number 081x xxxx xxxx, but do not know, Mas. The number is still active." That's a reply from Thalita.

Ramadhan immediately contacted Rayya's mobile number given by his sister, but it turned out that his phone number could not be reached.

Ramadan grunts violently. He thinks who else has Rayya's number besides Azkia.

" Canty, Simone ..." Ramadhan found the two names to be the ones with Rayya's number. Because Simone is the closest person to Rayya and Kayla, because lately the woman must have a lot of communication with Rayya. But for Simone, she was not sure if the man would give Rayya's number to her.

" Ashiramala, Kay. Kay, can I have Rayya's phone number?" Finally Ramadhan chose to ask Rayya's mobile number to Kayla.

It took about half an hour for Ramadan to get a reply from Kayla.

" Waalaikumsalam, you don't have Rayya's phone number?" Instead of answering the Ramadan question, the man got a question from Kayla.

" Yes, I don't have any. Can you help me give Rayya a number?" Once again Ramadan pleads with Kayla.

" Why did you ask for Rayya's number? Want to regret if you ever refused an arranged marriage with him?"

Ramadhan gasped to get a message from Kayla like that. Did yesterday's problems get to Kayla's ears? If Kayla really knew the problem, it was certain that the woman would stay away from her even more.

" I'll confirm to Rayya first, may or may not the number I love to you, Ram."

The continued incoming messages from Kayla further made him snort violently.

" Oh, no, Kay." Ramadhan does not want Kayla to ask Rayya's permission first to get the number of the favorite daughter of Gavin and Azzahra.

" Okay." a short answer from Kayla made Ramadan sigh that felt heavy.

Ramadan threw his cell phone on the bed. Rayya's cell phone number alone she didn't keep it. It's really sad for him right now.

Meanwhile, in Rayya's room after Daddy and Mommy come out of her room, Rayya chooses to rest her body that really feels tired. After a long journey from Rome to Jakarta, across the continent, shocked to hear the sad news about the departure of the Grandpa, now the secret that has been stored neatly is actually revealed because of the work of Azkia..

Rayya tried to close her eyes, dozens of messages and incoming calls were not touched. He really needed a break because his body, heart and mind were really very tired at the moment.

***

The next morning, Rayya awakens before dawn. After cleaning his body and performing the morning prayers, he took his cell phone which he had not seen all day yesterday.

Rayya gets a lot of messages and missed calls from some of her friends especially Simone, Michelle, Donna and Monica. There was also one number but he did not name it, send a message and contact it several times. Rayya chose to open a message from Simone, because that man had been close to her.

" Rayya, cosa's successo? Sei tornato improvvisamente in Indonesia?" (Royna, what happened? Why did you suddenly return to Indonesia )

" Rayya, stai bene?" (Rayya, are you okay)

" Rayya, ho sentito da William che tuo nonno morto. Le condoglianze noodles, Rayya." (Rayya, I heard from William that your grandfather died. My condolences, Rayya )

" Rayya, sei arrivata in Jakarta?" (Rayya, have you arrived in Jakarta )

" Grazie mille, Simone ..." Rayya finally replies to a message from Simone even though he found out in Rome at midnight.

He then read the messages from the others until he finally opened an unnamed message which he turned out to be Luigi.

" Ashalamualikum, Rayya. Sono Luigi, ho sentito che tuo nonno morto. Porgo le noodle sentite condoglianze." (Ashalamualaikum, Rayya. I'm Luigi, I heard that your grandfather died. I also have deep condolences )

" Waalaikumsalam's. Grazie mille, Luigi...." Rayya replies to a message from Luigi and puts her phone back.

But it was not until a minute that his phone suddenly rang.

" Come stai adesso, Rayya? Chiamarti posso?" (How are you doing now, Rayya? Can I call you )

Rayya widened her eyes as she read the reply from Luigi so quickly, not to mention the man's wish to ask permission to call her.

" Slij, Luigi. Non riesco ancora a ricevere phone." (Sorry, Luigi. I still can't take a phone call ) Rayya refuses Luigi who wants to contact her.

" Ok, ho capito. Ma posso chiamarti pi tardi?" (Okay, I get it. But can I call you later) Looks like Luigi didn't break the charcoal asking Rayya to let him call later.

" Okay ..." Rayya finally accepted Luigi's request.

" Grazie, Rayya."

Rayya had peeked at the last message from Luigi but did not intend to open the message let alone reply to him, because he wanted to get out of his room at Dad David's house where he stayed last night.

Ramadhan stood leaning beside his car while watching some of the students coming out of his campus. He was looking for Azkia. Ramadhan does not seem to know who to ask for help other than Azkia to help him in an effort to make amends against Rayya.

Ramadan sees Azkia's car driving through the campus gate. Ramadhan quickly approached the car and stood in front of Azkia.

" Sister Rama what the hell is playing standing in front of my car? Want to commit suicide because it was discovered as the ringleader of the cancellation of arranged marriages, huh? There, deh! Don't make it hard for Kia! Later if Kak Rama hit and continue to die later Kia who is imprisoned. Well, Brother Rama .. has made Rayya heartbroken now want to look for death and make Kia arrested by the police." Azkia, shocked by the sudden appearance of Ramadan, gets out of her car and pulls the huge body of Ramadan in her way.

" Eh, this is all because you're the cause!" Ramadhan who initially wanted to ask Azkia for help instead served the debate started by Azkia.

" Idiihh .. is clearly wrong still throwing mistakes at others" Azkia sibir rolled her eyes.

" Eh, Brother is not here to bring you to fight. But I'd like to ask you for help." Ramadhan said he meant to meet Azkia.

" Seek for help? Oh, Kia ngerti .. surely Kak Rama wants to ask for help so Uncle Gavin is not angry with Brother Rama, right? Or apologize to Rayya for making Rayya cry and heartbreak?" Azkia folded her hands in front of her chest.

" Boy brother Rama, listen, yes! It won't be that easy as Brother Rama getting an apology from Uncle Gavin. Rayya is Uncle Gavin's favorite child. Try Kak Rama imagine if Kak Rama had a daughter, continued Kak Rama's daughter was rejected outright the same man who was liked by Kak Rama's son until Kak Rama's son was heartbroken, as a father, does Brother Rama not feel sad and disappointed?"

" Sister isn't married yet, so can't imagine ..." Ramadhan still had time to shout mendegar Azkia's words.

The light of Ramadhan's claws made Azkia look down.

" Oath, Rama's sister is very cool, deh!" Azkia immediately nodded.

" Eh, Brother seriously needs your help, Kia" Ramadhan said later. " Have you had lunch yet? We'll talk over lunch, yuk!" bring Ramadan.

Azkia did not immediately accept the invitation from Ramadan.

" Calm down, later Brother who tracts," continued Ramadhan when he saw Azkia did not respond to his words.

" I don't want that the purpose of Kak Rama will only hurt Rayya back!" Azkia.

" Calm down, I want to apologize to Rayya. Let's go to the resto at the end of the road!" Ramadan then leaves Azkia back in her car to head to the restaurant she was referring to. Azkia then returned to her car and followed the car driven to the dining area where they wanted to talk about her help needed by Ramadhan from Rayya.
