RAMADAN IN RAYYA'S HEART

Azzahra

" Astaghfirullahal is ...!" Umi Rara screamed in shock as Rayya who rushed into the house almost hit Umi Rara.

" Lho, Neng Rayya why run? Where's Neng Rayya's friend?" asked Umi Rara who was shocked to see Rayya running. " Eh, uh, Neng Rayya why are you crying?" Umi Rara grew increasingly shocked when she saw Rayya's reddened eyes.

" It's okay, Nin." Rayya then ran up the stairs to her room making Umi Rara more confused.

" Kunaon ieu tea?" Umi Rara then walked towards the guest room to find out what really happened and Umi Rara found Ramadan standing at the entrance.

" What's going on? Why is Neng Rayya crying? What are you about Enin's grandson?" Umi Rara immediately accused Ramadhan of causing Rayya to cry.

" Hmmm, sorry, Grandma. I ..." Ramadhan is confused as to what to explain.

" You know what? Neng Rayya's Daddy never made Neng Rayya cry. Why do you dare make Enin's grandson cry?" Umi Rara looked furious.

" What's going on, Umi? Why fuss?" Abi Rara who just came out of the room inside immediately asked because of the noisy sound of his wife in the living room.

" Abi, this kid has made Neng Rayya cry." Umi Rara immediately complained to her husband about her conjecture if Ramadan was what made Rayya cry.

" Neng Rayya is crying?" Abi Rara was shocked when she heard Rayya crying. Abi Rara turned to Ramadan. " Is that true?" abi Rara asked in interjection.

" Sorry, Cake. I didn't mean to make Rayya cry" Ramadan apologized.

" What's really going on? Why did Neng Rayya cry?" ask Abi Rara back.

And finally after Abi Rara let Ramadan sit down, Ramadan told him what really happened, without anything he covered up.

Abi Rara let out a long sigh when she found out what happened to her granddaughter. Umi Rara was first told to enter by her husband. Because Abi Rara knows if his wife is talking to Ramadhan, surely his wife will make a rowdy atmosphere with the scolding of Umi Rara.

" I'm really sorry, Cake. I didn't mean to make Rayya cry." Ramadhan again expressed regret.

" Neng Rayya is Daddy's favorite daughter. During this time even his Daddy forbade any man from approaching Neng Rayya. During this time also Eyang rarely saw the grandson of Eyang was crying and sad except when his Grandpa died a few months ago. You can imagine how angry that Eyang son-in-law was when she found out that his daughter was crying?"

Ramadhan lowered his head. The purpose of her coming to see Rayya is to make her relationship with the woman good, even finally getting run over. He could have imagined that Gavin would be angry when he found out he was sad again.

" If in Eyang's opinion, for now you should not contact Eyang's grandson first. Let Neng Rayya calm his heart first. Put your heart first. If you still feel doubt, you should not continue, because it will hurt Rayya more. But if you really want Neng Rayya, try as hard as possible to conquer the heart of Neng Rayya and his Daddy." Abi Rara gave her advice to Ramadhan so that she would strengthen her heart first.

" But what if Rayya prefers the man who wants her, too, Cake?" tanya Ramadhan is worried. His rival was a step ahead, whereas he instead had to retreat backwards.

" If indeed Rayya is a soul mate for you, even though the road that you have to go through is heavy and winding, Allah SWT will certainly unite you," said Abi Rara wisely.

Meanwhile, Umi Rara, who was ordered by her husband to go inside, immediately approached her granddaughter's room.

" Neng, Neng Rayya, can Enin come in?" Umi Rara, who opened the door to Rayya's unlocked room, asked her granddaughter for permission.

" Just go in, Nin." Rayya immediately wiped away her unstoppable tears falling onto her cheeks.

" Aya naon ieu tea? Why is Neng Rayya crying? Did that man hurt Neng Rayya?" asked Umi Rara while rubbing Rayya's moist cheeks due to tears.

" It's okay, Nin." Rayya twitched by saying if she was okay.

" Neng Rayya ..." Umi Rara invited her granddaughter to sit on the edge of the bed. " Neng Rayya don't lie to Enin. Enin was sure that there must be a problem that made Neng Rayya cry like this. Same story Enin, Geulis." Umi Rara asks Rayya to open up and tell him what is bothering Rayya.

" Rayya's okay, Nin." Rayya denied it again.

" Did Enin have to call Mommy and Daddy Neng Rayya, and tell her that Neng Rayya was crying?" Umi Rara slightly gritted Rayya so that her grandson did not constantly dodge.

" No, Nin. Please don't tell Mommy let alone Daddy about this. Don't tell Daddy about Kak Rama's arrival here either." Rayya immediately sat down in front of Umi Rara making Eninnya was gasping.

Rayya also had no other choice until he finally told what happened between him and Ramadan including their matchmaking plan that was initiated by his Daddy.

" O Allah, Neng Rayya .. why did your Mommy story repeat itself to Neng Rayya?" Umi Rara showed her sadness. Umi Rara felt dejavu, because Azzahra had once felt one-sided love for the man she admired since adolescence.

" Enin, Rayya please don't tell anything about this to Daddy and Mommy." Rayya clasped her wrinkled skinned hand.

Umi Rara let out a long breath.

" En hopes Neng Rayya will be able to get another man who really loves Neng Rayya. Like Mommy Neng Rayya could finally meet your Daddy." Umi Rara could only pray that Azzahra's grief that ended in happiness would be repeated to her beloved granddaughter.

" By ..."

" Hmmm, why Honey?" Gavin asked Azzahra without looking at her because she was still focusing on the laptop on her lap

" Not done with the job, By?" ask Azzahra later.

" It's gonna shut me down." Gavin immediately closed his laptop and put it on the table. Gavin then placed his hand on the shoulder of Azzahra who was sitting beside him, until the woman rested her head on his shoulder.

" By ...."

" What's up, Honey? Is there anything you want to say?" Gavin rubbed Azzahra's head.

" If Rama suddenly wanted to have a serious relationship with Rayya, would Hubby still be against it?" Azzahra who was initially hesitant finally ventured to ask Gavin.

Gavin immediately turned to his wife because his wife's question surprised him.

" Why are you asking me that, Honey?" ask Gavin suspiciously.

" Hmmm, t-so Sister Anin called me. He said .. he said Rama commute Jakarta-Roma to see Rayya." Azzahra had to lie to her husband and had to carry Anindita's name in her lie. Because he couldn't have told the truth if Ramadan had come to their home this afternoon.

Gavin was aghast when Azzahra said Ramadan was going to Rome to see Rayya.

" Rama went to Rome to see Baby? Why else would he want to see our baby? What warning did I give him that he didn't get?" furious Gavin.

" By, don't be so angry. Rama apologized to Rayya. He was tired of flying to Italy to meet Rayya."

" Honey, the tiredness she felt was not comparable to the tired heart that Baby felt for harboring his feelings for the man for years." Gavin doesn't like his wife like defending Ramadan. He then looked at Azzahra.

" What's wrong with you, Honey? Weren't you always enthusiastic about matching Baby with Luigi. Then why are you suddenly talking about Rama?!"

Azzahra. He is really worried. She does wish Luigi to be her daughter's husband later, but she is also happier if the man Rayya loves also reciprocates her daughter's feelings.
