Ricky and his family are gathering for dinner after Maghrib prayers. Anindita as usual cooks dishes served to her family members. Her daily life as a housewife since marrying Ricky made her have a lot of free time to learn to cook various kinds of food.
" Rama, this morning Farah came here to deliver an invitation for you." Anindita remembered the invitation card that Farah had left earlier this morning when her husband and son were about to leave for the office.
" Invitation? What invitation, Ma?" ask Ramadhan while gnashing his forehead.
" His birthday party" replied Anindita." You're gonna come there?"
" Like a kid wears all birthday parties." Ramadhan commented as he rolled his eyes. Indeed, since childhood, Ramadan seems reluctant to attend birthday celebrations.
" If Mas Rama wants to come to Kak Farah's birthday, Thalita dong, Mas! Who knows if it could go to television." Thalita followed, hearing Ramadan was invited by Farah. He thought there would definitely be infotaiment covering Farah's birthday party who worked as a famous model.
" Wanting to get on television is easy now, Dek. Just make a strange thing, nyeleneh that makes people blasphemed, surely later in the news on television infotaiment!' chirp Arka obeyed Thalita's words.
" Iiihh, Mas Arka ..." Thalita pursed her lips.
" arca! Don't teach your sister anything bad!" Anindita glared, reprimanding her second son who was teasing his youngest sister.
" Kidding, Ma." The arcs reprimanded by Anindita instantly grinned.
" Yes, Ma! Mas Arka that if you talk like to wander! Gratitude, weekk ..." Thalita who was happy her brother was reprimanded immediately sneered at Arka.
" Thalitta!" This time Ricky reprimands his youngest daughter whom he deems to be deliberately provoking.
" It's true too, right?" Arka who felt defended by Ricky again grinned.
" Yes, now continue eating!" Ricky told his kids to go back to eating.
" So you're not coming, Rama?" asked Anindita who was curious about her son's answer.
" Rama is lazy, Ma." said Ramadan. In addition to being lazy to serve Farah, he was also still thinking about his meeting with Rayya this afternoon. Especially with a foreign man who also likes Rayya.
" If Mas Rama is not present, Thalita who comes to attend may not, Mas? As a representative, Thalita later said that Mas Rama was still bothered and could not come." Thalita who was excited to be present at the famous model's birthday event immediately volunteered.
" Such an event for adults! A kid like you can't be at a kayak!" ban Arka.
" Thalita's past seventeen years, Mas."
" It's still a little girl."
" Why are you two, anyway? Mom asked you guys, you know! Not asking you!" Anindita who saw Arka and Thalita again argued immediately reprimanded them.
Ramadhan chose to be silent, as he also did not want to continue the discussion around Farah and her show.

Ramadhan lowered his back to touch the pillow on his bed. While his hand is still holding the mobile and looking at Rayya's photo on his phone.
" I don't understand why keep thinking about you, Rayya? Why do you keep messing with my mind? Why did you turn out like this? Why didn't you become the Rayya you used to be? Who is shy and not confident when dealing with many people? So you don't bother me right now" muttered Ramadan. He seemed to regret the change in the figure of Rayya who is now increasingly looking mature, independent and also of course Rayya's increasingly beautiful appearance. All the changes in Rayya seemed to unsettle him.
Ramadhan then opened the social networking application on his phone. He downloaded an animated picture of a hijab woman and then he put the writing in the picture.
Ramadhan then uploaded the image in his whatsapp story. I don't know, at once he was like a teenager alay who was agitated because of a woman named Rayya.
Ddrrtt
Shortly from him uploading the picture earlier, the incoming message notification immediately sounded on his phone.
" Uhuukk, who's the hijab woman, Mas?"
Ramadhan who seemed aware of the things he did immediately deleted his story' WhatsApp back.
Ddrrtt
He heard a notification on his phone. He reopened the message now sent by Arka.
" Why is it removed, Mom? Thankfully I did screenshot. So I can make statusπππ"
Ramadhan widened his eyes while reading a message from Arka. He quickly opened the story' of his sister's account. Surely Arka did capture his status by adding a caption.
" It should be noted, yes! Hour, day, date, month and year. Tumben so much my brother made a story'π Galau, Mas? Who is this, that troubling girl? #pooakut "
Ramadhan immediately called Arka's number after reading the contents of his sister's WA story
" Did you remove your status, Arka!" Ramadhan immediately told his sister to delete the story' WhatsApp which contains the capture story' himself.
" Haha, why is it, Mas? Afraid of being caught by who, anyway?' Arka just mocked Ramadhan.
" No need to ask a lot, quickly delete it right now!" ramadan's order then immediately turned off his cell phone call with a grumbling mouth.

Ddrrtt
Rayya had just walked into her room after she had a chat with Daddy and his Mommy. He headed straight for the nightstand as the phone he was staying on was ringing. He guessed that it was Luigi who contacted him back then.
" Assalamualaikum, what's up, Kia?" It turns out Rayya's guess was wrong, because Azkia was the one who contacted him.
" Waalaikumsalam, Ray, you read Kak Arka's WA story, right?" ask Azkia.
" Brother Arka? Aunt Anin's Ark sister? I don't know, Kia. Rayya's gonna change the HP number so can't see. Why is it Arka's sister?" asked Rayya curiously.
" Kak Arka made the status he captured from the status of Kak Rama, Ray."
" Oh yeah? Keep on what's the problem? Brother Rama's brother's Brother Arka, reasonable, right? Nothing is strange." Rayya considered what Arka did nothing to be concerned about.
" But the story' is now not in WA Kak Rama, even though it was just a few minutes ago, you know! It's weird ...."
" What does Brother Rama make story?" Rayya who initially did not want to know about the status of WhatsApp Ramadhan finally asked Azkia, what is the content of the story' Ramadan because his cousin was feeling excited.
" Kia will send, yes!" Azkia instantly turned off her call.
Shortly from Azkia turned off her call, a message was heard coming into Rayya's phone. Rayya then opened the picture message that Azkia had sent him.
Rayya rounded her eyes as she read the image message Azkia had sent. He saw an animated picture of a hijab-wearing woman with the caption, ' Someone I'm trying to reach his heart '
Rayya breathed deeply. Not that she is too confident, but she feels that she is the woman referred to by Ramadan. At once also Rayya's heart was made unsettled.
" Why did Rama become like this? Why is Rama not like before? Who is indifferent and does not care about Rayya's feelings to Kak Rama. At least it was better for Rayya, than Kak Rama's attitude like this to Rayya," Rayya's inner heart was accompanied by a teardrop that flowed down her cheek.
