Sometimes, a heart that is too hopeful for a retarded feeling will hurt, if only rejection is obtained.
Sometimes logic says it is, but the heart sets out to fight. That's how Clara felt. The girl frowned in annoyance, as all her efforts to attract Rayhan's attention felt futile. The man was just busy with his cell phone, as if unaware of Clara's whereabouts by his side.
Upset, Clara snatched the phone from the owner. Which made Rayhan look directly at. "Reverse!" Strictly speaking, his hand was raised asking for the phone from Clara's hand.
The girl opened the phone which was not yet locked. The girl stared dejectedly, looking at the image that became Rayhan's main screen was a photo of a girl with long brownish hair.
"He who?" Tight Clara while facing the phone to Rayhan.
Rayhan's hand was moved to grab the phone, but Clara pulled it back first.
"Who's Han's answer?" His voice was getting louder, making some cafe visitors who were close to them immediately turned their heads.
Why am I a rich man caught cheating anyway?! His grunts while staring lazily at Clara.
"It's none of your business." Rayhan shrunk his voice, unwilling to be the center of attention anymore.
Clara snorted, then checked Rayhan's phone again. Before long, the girl began to pose with her various styles. Making Rayhan mislead, if not for his papa's coercion by threatening to invite Clara and her family to dinner together of course she would not want to spend time with this girl.
Clara grabs Rayhan's hand, then returns her phone. "Don't replace my photo." He said while blinking one eye. Rayhan turned the eyeballs, the guardians should linger with this girl.
"As far as you." Rayhan grunts while sipping his drink, deciding not to care about anything the girl says.
"Han, you haven't answered my question. Who's that girl?" Clara asked, she felt familiar with the eyes of the girl.
The young man just shrugged no matter what, for him to fill his energy with food supply was more interesting than chatting with Clara.
"Gue asked him who, Han replied!" I had patience with Clara. The girl snapped because she never got an answer from Rayhan.
Clara's voice again attracted the attention of the visitors who were disturbed by their noise, Rayhan pulled Clara's hand to get out of this place. Enough is enough, Rayhan is no longer willing to be the center of attention.
"Get my hands off!" Clara slams Rayhan's hand. If the situation was normal, the girl would have been happy for Rayhan to touch her. But in these situations, it's no more important than knowing the girl on Rayhan's phone.
"Please Han. I want to know who that girl is." Once again Clara slammed into Rayhan's hand which gripped her arm.
"It's important to know?" Rayhan asked, releasing his grip from Clara. They are now in the parking area, the girl rubbed her hands that felt the pain of Rayhan's hands.
"Lo's my fiancee Han, and you got another girl's photo on your phone?!" Clara stared intently at Rayhan, jealousy stirring her heart.
"Don't forget the fact, this engagement is just a two-family deal!"
Clara was silent, her heart was broken. Like a dagger piercing his heart. How could he be so openly rejected.
"Who is Rayhan?" Clara's voice was not as bright as earlier, like a cry describing her heart.
"The one I love." Then, now and in the future!
The deg! Tears that had been pooled in Clara's eyes now had wet her cheeks.
"Han." Shrinking her face, Clara was unable to hold back her tears.
I even lost before I fought! His mutter while wiping away the tears, after which turned to face Rayhan with a wide smile.
I'm not going to lose, I'm fiancee lo Han!.
Rayhan looked at Clara, from her blushing eyes Rayhan knew the girl was crying. There's pity in him, but Rayhan has to be. If he was kind to Clara, it would grow his hopes even greater, and the more heartache Clara would get in return.
"Don't expect much from this relationship, I don't want you to get hurt."
Clara shook her head, her tears were held back so as not to fall back in fact had wet her cheeks again. The girl lowered her head, hiding a disappointed look on her face.
It turns out that this pain was rejected before expressing the taste.
"Sorry." Rayhan said as he stroked Clara's head.
His steps came to a halt, as a pair of hands coiled tightly around his abdomen. Rayhan sighed, it was indeed difficult to explain to this girl like Clara.
"Let me chance Han, please!" Her shrillness was restrained, her voice almost inaudible behind Rayhan's back.

This morning, Rayhan was ready with his flagship suit. This morning she excitedly left for college, as today it was her schedule to study with Kayla and Alex.
With an already perfect mood, the man hummed as he approached the dining room. As Rayhan knew, today his father had to travel out of town again. So there is no need for long debates that make heart exercise in the dining room.
"Sit down!" Vijaya Kesuma's resolute voice welcomed Rayhan's arrival, while Roland had to take a business trip abroad for several days. The man who is almost 30 years old but still loyal single is crazy about his job so he does not have time to think about women.
Rayhan twisting eyeballs were caught off guard, just earlier he craved breakfast calmly in fact already hit by the bitter reality.
"What did you tell Clara last night? I told you to be nice to her, why make her cry?" Sergah Wijaya Kesuma, last night he got a phone call from Papi Clara and said that his daughter came home crying, and it must have been Rayhan.
"A real useless kid! I just told you to be nice, is it hard for Rayhan?! He's your fiance!"
"New prospect pa, potential fiancee!" Resolutely Rayhan, want to remind his father if their relationship has not been inaugurated.
"Pa, mom doesn't like you with Clara and her mom. They're too cocky pa." Sonya who had just come from the kitchen joined Rayhan and his papa chat.
"Clara's a good boy mah, she's a good fit for Rayhan. Can guarantee Rayhan's future."
Trankk!!
Rayhan threw down his spoon to hear his papa's words, what does he mean by guaranteeing the future? Indeed, all this time his father considered it like what to hang a front on a girl.
"I can determine and guarantee my own future reward!" Rayhan did not accept, how could be looked down upon so much by his own father.
"Well! What can you do? Every day just spending the night at the club, cih!"
Rayhan chuckled cynically at his papa's words, if you think he's hurt. Of course he felt sick, even though he was used to hearing the abuse and humiliation of his father. But still, which child whose heart does not hurt to hear the insults of his own parents.
"The next month of your engagement and Clara will be unveiled. I hope this time you don't disappoint me, prove that you deserve to be part of the Wijaya Kesuma family." Firmly Wijaya then moved and sauntered away leaving Rayhan who had not had time to answer.
"Rayhan won't continue this engagement!" Rayhan stood up, and stared at his papa's back from a distance.
"If you don't want to, please take your foot out of this house. It's enough I take care of and feed the ungrateful child like you! From the beginning I never expected your presence in this world, but it was your mother who insisted on maintaining. If you know you're going to be a dissident child, I've already thrown you away!" The painful sentence was perfectly thrown from Wijaya Kesuma with his back to Rayhan.
The deg! Rayhan lost his balance, his entire body shaking violently. Accepting the harsh reality for the umpteenth time in his life, is not something that is easy to pass.
Clear circles fell from Rayhan's pitch-black eyes, as soon as his heart ached hearing that remark from the papa.
"Papa's enough!" Shouted Sonya while approaching and holding Rayhan who lost balance.
"What did papa say? Rayhan is our son pa, why would you say such a thing to your own son?!" Shouted Sonya furiously, Wijaya's words to Rayhan made her heart so sick. Then what about Rayhan, who heard the painful sentence himself.
Wijaya Kesuma left the dining room, without looking at Rayhan and Sonya. Not feeling guilty at all with the words he just said.
"I am not strong. That's enough of this." Lirih Rayhan, drowning her body in Sonya's arms.
Rayhan cried as soon as in the arms of his mother, spilling all the pain that he had hidden behind his stubbornness all this time.
Rayhan was no longer strong, his papa's words this time really broke his heart. How not, when other children get so much love and affection from their papa. It is precisely the insults, insults and anger that Rayhan has received from Vijaya Kesuma.
Why is life so fair to some, God is Most Just in all things. There are so many people out there who crave wealth, luxury, office. But on the other hand, there are a few people who want affection and love so much that they never get.
One thing you can take as a lesson, everything you have in life do not forget that it is the grace of God. Be lucky if you are among those who have wealth and affection. Because in other parts of the world, there are so many people who crave these two things.
And how lucky you are to have such love and such abundant treasure. Don't forget to be grateful, God doesn't love a creature that is kufr!
