The Exchanged Princess

Rayhan-Isti (wants to meet)

Happy reading ....

*

Although in an atmosphere of grief, Rika's residence is not necessarily quiet like uninhabited. Yuda and Raka are there to accompany their best friend who has lost a loved one. This afternoon, Raydita and her family drove Rida back to the hospital. Raydita accompanied Rida there. Meanwhile, Annisa and her parents return home.

"Ehan's home, Bi?" rianti asked as he looked in wonder at Rayhan's backpack lying on the sofa.

"Yes, Madam," said Bi Susi.

"Kok didn't say. Now where is it?" asked Rianti again while turning his gaze around.

"So to the room, Him."

"Oohs. Auntie's ready for dinner?" ask Rianti.

"partly already. The rest is not yet mature" said Bi Susi.

"okay."

Annisa sat on the sofa leaning back. He turned to Rianti who was also sitting his butt on the sofa.

"Kata Kak Raka anyway, Brother Ehan was going home yesterday, Mom. But not so, because of bad luck," said Annisa.

"Ehan must be busy. The last year was so," said Adisurya.

"Pity ...," muttered Rianti.

"Why pity? Poor thing, if his youth he spent berleha and just having fun, then mama pity. Ehan's the future head of the family, let him try his best. Don't be spoiled" Adisurya said as he walked towards the stairs.

"Ehan is not spoiled, Pa," Defa Rianti.

"Yes. Papa knows."

The door to the room upstairs was opened by someone. Rayhan was seen coming down the stairs with his wet hair.

"When's it coming?" asked Adisurya who frowned looking at Rayhan who cheered while kissing the back of his hand.

"Not long ago" Rayhan said briefly as he waved at Annisa, and continued his steps down the stairs.

"Hey, Brother!" greet Annisa.

"Just here, why take a shower, honey?" asked Rianti who then opened his arms wide and hugged his favorite son tightly.

"Ehan's going to Agas' house, Ma" he said.

"Happy graduation, my dear Adek." Rayhan hugged Annisa and kissed her forehead.

"Thank you, sister" Annisa said.

"What gift do you want from your sister?" ask Rayhan.

"No need, sister," Annisa refused.

"Eh, don't say that. Ask for a car, don't lose to Dita," he joked Rianti.

"When did you become a stove?" rayhan asked jokingly.

"Have a stove" delik Rianti spoiled.

"Father will buy" Adisurya said from upstairs.

"Thank you, Dad. But really don't. Nisa prefers to use a motorbike. Dear if not used. There's also Ehan's car, right?" annisa.

"Well, that's right. Than the car brother nganggur, use it," said Rayhan.

"Ready, sister," said Annisa.

"Ish this is you, Nisa. That's Ehan's wits," muttered Rianti.

"Mama aah! 'And you want to buy it, '" Rayhan smiled wryly.

"Mama doesn't understand, Ehan was again cussing to buy mascawine. Aye, right?" todong Adisurya who had not yet entered the room and noticed them from the stair railing on the upper floor.

"Oh yeah?" Rianti and Annisa gave a seductive look at Rayhan who was now blushing in embarrassment.

"People know ah." Rayhan turned his body towards the dining room.

"What's that, Han?" rianti asked curiously while following his son's footsteps.

"Mama is already. Look at it later," said Rayhan while feeding his favorite side dishes that have been served at the table.

"We're at Agas' house?" ask Rayhan.

Rianti looked at Rayhan, then hugged him from the side. His son who used to be arrogant and also a little naughty, was not expected to be this fast to become a figure who thought mature.

The family ate early because Rayhan was going to stay at Ghaisan's house. The atmosphere was warm with the typical chatter of Rayhan and Annisa.

"By the way, Han. How's your fiancee's plan with Isti? Still want to continue?" adisurya. Instantly Rianti and Annisa put up a listening mode.

"Still dong, Pa. But ... try asking his wife first. Ehan is the same as he lost contact. If personal Ehan is indeed the intention to go there, so it is not neko-neko," said Rayhan.

Adisurya nodded small with a proud look. "Do you want, or did you ask?"

"You dong, Han. Talk to both of you first" said Rianti.

"But Ehan's sister Isti'll never see you first, ma'am," Annisa said.

"Yes ask permission, dear. Speak also in their homes" said Rianti.

"Yes, yeah." Annisa nodded slowly.

"You're good, the road to the road is already rich toll road, free of obstacles," said Rayhan joking.

"Oh, Brother Ehan. Don't talk so dong," said Annisa.

"Yes, sorry," said Rayhan as he lightly ruffled Annisa's hair.

The togetherness of Ghaisan and his three best friends slightly reduced the man's grief. Occasionally Ghaisan looks to sing a thin smile to hear Raka and Yuda's sketches.

Ghaisan turned to Rayhan who looked agitated and did not focus on the conversation of his other friend. Ghaisan smirked faintly, and asked, "Lo why?"

"Eh? No problem," said Rayhan.

"Lo don't have to do that. I've noticed that your mind is not here" said Ghaisan.

"Why, Ray? Do you have a problem?" ask Raka.

"Series dong. Who knows, we can help" said Yuda.

Rayhan chuckled softly while bowing his head.

"Sorry yes, Gas. I should be here entertaining you. But there are even you who worry about me," said Rayhan.

"It's ok" said Ghaisan.

"Mmm actually, I'm confused about Isti. Bokap nanya, he said how it went. Yes if I am okay. But I don't know the same Isti. He just graduated" said Rayhan gamang.

"What if I just graduated? You're not getting married, are you?" ask Yuda.

"Not really, either" said Rayhan.

"So, where's the problem?" ask Raka.

"Try how to plan in the future. Let's not just give advice," said Ghaisan.

Rayhan sighed while looking at Raka and Yuda who also nodded in agreement.

"My wish is .. Now the application. Next year, will I graduate? Married. Stay here, and he can also while in college. That is," Rayhan said.

"Good enough. Perfect yes planning lo. Easy, hehe ...," lamented Raka.

"When talking is easy. Do not know how the realization," said Rayhan who continued to stare at the screen of his phone.

For a long time he had not heard the voice of Isti. Rayhan always found out about the girl from his two younger siblings, especially Annisa. And honestly, he was eager to meet. It was not enough even though a day and night looked at Isti's face if it was just a photo.

"Lo was worried, Ray. Kaya is not Rayhan Adisurya. Call her dong. Say, if you want to meet," as if Yuda just understood Rayhan's heart.

"It wants that. But Isti is again in his brother's house" Rayhan said.

"Who said? Here, look!" Yuda shows Isti chat in their class group.

In the chat it says ... 'Udah dong, don't talk about horror. Scared, knew .... I'm home alone'.

Rayhan's smile widened. Without a second thought, he immediately got out of the chair and contacted his heart.

Raka laughed, and so did Yuda. Meanwhile, Ghaisan who understood once how it felt to be in Rayhan's position, could only smash a smile on his face.
