Your Invitation Letter



School holidays make Raniyah spend a lot of time at home. A lot of school administration to be completed, Raniyah wanted to expel all her thoughts from about Ahsan, so the report of the learning plan had been made in advance. Raniye really wanted to keep her brain busy.


Drrt Drrt Drrt


His phone shook, Raniyah grabbed his phone, and picked it up without seeing who the caller was.


"Yes? With who?" Sapa Raniyah, while continuing to stare at her laptop screen.


No answer, quiet. Just the sound of heavy breathing that answered him, immediately Raniyah stopped and looked at the screen of her phone, her heart pounding as soon as she saw the name "Ahsan" there.


" Hsan!" Sapa Raniyah slowly and her hand stopped from typing her on the laptop.


Tut tut tut tut


The phone is immediately disconnected. Raniyah put down her phone, immediately sobbed and covered her face with both hands. All the pain was spilled on her tears. It was a sense of anger, disappointment and fatigue with Ahsan's attitude fused within him.


Drrt drrt


His phone shook again, Raniyah raised it again while tearful, this time the two wanted to vent all her emotions.


" Ahsan what do you want! You know this is torturing me! End all this Ahsan! I love you with Jesika, but don't act like this to me!" Cerocos Raniyah was heartbreaking with a heartbreaking sense of chaos that heard it.


" Raniyeh, you're wrong. I'm in front of your house! Quickly out!" Daiyan's voice sounded there instantly. Raniyah.


Raniyah immediately washed her face after the phone was closed, her mind was chaotic, even confused because Doctor Daiyan could know her home. Raniyah came out of her house, there stood a man with a neat appearance. Raniyah looked at Doctor Daiyan's appearance from head to toe.


" I've been standing for a long time, there could be blood clots!" Said Daiyan with her flat face making Raniyah stunned.


" Please, Doc sit down, I'll bring you a cup of tea."


Daiyan nodded and sat on one of the front seats of the Raniyah house, at that time the Raniyah house was quite quiet. This made him not dare to sit inside the house.


Not long after, Raniyah came up with a cup of tea and a plate of pastries. After serving the banquet, Raniyah sat beside Daiyan.


"Please drink Doc."


"Thank you."


"Yes, but why did the doctor come to my house? And why know my house?"


Daiyan placed the tea cup, then took out a maroon invitation, then handed it to Raniyah. Raniyah's eyes stared pushyly at the invitation.


" Because of the invitation! So I have to come here."


"Why did the doctor deliver it?" Said Raniyah with trembling lips.


"Exan my closest friend."


Instantly Raniyah turned her head towards Daiyan, her eyes rounded full of what she had just heard. All the questions revolved around his head, even half disbelieving Daiyan's words.


" I don't understand Doc."


" Ahsan is my friend, I studied in Turkey for a long time. I just returned to Indonesia three months ago, maybe Ahsan did not tell me to you, it is clear from your attitude that does not know me while in the hospital." This time Doctor Daiyan spoke at quite a length than usual.


The smile of ketir engraved on Raniyah's lips, his eyes turned to look at the invitation, it was very tight, maybe that's how someone made his wound never dry.


"Tell me I'll come, it just so happens that the candidate is also an office friend." Said Raniyah with teary eyes.


Daiyan did not communicate anything, and indeed Daiyan never spoke much. Straight away his gaze focused towards Raniyah who continued to stare at the invitation bitterly.


"I'm sorry for him, but he can't explain anything right now, so try to understand and don't hate him."


Raniyah's eyes immediately turned towards Daiyan who was looking at her so fixedly. Now there was a look full of sadness, anger, and disappointment that Raniyah had been hiding.


"Are you in my place?" Ask Raniyah emotionally.


" Yes, indeed people who are good at advising sometimes do not feel in the place of people who are advised." Ketus Raniyah stood up.


"I'm sorry, I don't deserve to give you advice, but I hope you don't get too down. Whatever is happening right now, you have to deal with it."


" Yes, thank you Doctor Daiyan, you're very kind." Raniyah.


" I'm saying goodbye!" Daiyan Puj passed by and his car left Raniyah's house.


******


Daiyan drove his car while listening to the babbling of his best friend who was on the phone. As usual, Daiyan is a good listener.


"I love him so much, Daiyan. Was this decision wrong? But you know the relationships in life aren't enough about love, Daiyan's many things, I find it hard to explain."


"You love Jesika?"


" No, there's a lot of things about his attitude that I don't like. But he's my aunt, we've been betrothed from childhood on a customary basis!"


"How did Raniyah when she received the invitation? Is she okay? Is he mad at me?"


" He was angry but didn't reveal it."


" Right, Raniyah must be so, even if angry he will be silent. I'm restless, I feel so guilty for him Daiyan. Can I go back to him?"


" Don't embarrass your family! You're late if you want to cancel."


"I wanted so much to talk to her, even my tongue always wanted to say I loved her so much, if she waited patiently, I would marry her. I miss him so much. But again I can't stand Daiyan. I couldn't see his eyes peeled off, I couldn't get him hurt in front of my own eyes.


" But you've already hurt him more deeply."


" It seems like my steps are getting wrong now."


"Yes." Yeah."


******


The maroon invitation was on the middle room table, everyone was staring in that direction, Ranuyah was sitting lethargic with Haya stroking his back giving strength.


Raniyah's parents could not say anything, they understood very well that Raniyah must have been hurt. Suddenly Radit's voice sounded loud, with a loud tone.


" Well, here's how a child gets in the way of marriage!"


" Radit's silent!" Tegur Kak Fraz's.


"We just know! If Ahsan means not Rani's soul mate!" Mother chirps.


"But there has to be effort! What if Rani becomes a spinster because she is often left out of marriage!"Timpal Radit.


"Sister Radit! Relax Haya will not make dede a spinster!" Emotions Haya out when it comes to marriage.


" What have you been working on? When can you get married? Meningan now let Rani if anyone is applying to marry directly!" Radit said he would not lose.


" Already! It's already! Don't fuss! It's a gini problem, so it's a storm!" Mr. Ansori said.


" Such a custom not to be held by sir!" Tegur Radit.


" Radith! Enough already!" Says Brother Fraz afraid there is a longer debate.


The voice of Adhan Isya also reverberated, making people who were arguing in the middle room was silent. Radit's sister immediately got up by bringing her emotions to the bathroom. Mr. Ansori immediately took the scabbard to immediately join the congregational prayer in the mosque.
