A Cup of Black Coffee
Chapter 57

Evening on Ragil's holiday, he was having a warm conversation with his parents.

"Thus ... Mr Afdhal is your former father-in-law?" ask Tyo on the sidelines of their chat.

"Yes Pah" answered Ragil.

Maya felt that this was the right time to talk about her intentions.

"Gill?" call Maya gently while clasping her son's hand.

Ragil turned and answered his mother's call.

"Someone wants to talk," continued Maya.

Ragil quietly listened as he guessed in his heart what his mother was going to say.

"You want to know you as your son, will ya?" pinta Maya is hopeful.

Ragil sighed, if you can be honest, of course he wanted to refuse the mother's request.

It's a little traumatizing matchmaking, he wants to find his own soul mate without having to be in a match.

"You don't look good?" guess Maya when she saw the look on her son's face a little grim.

Ragil clasped his mother's hands before answering.

"I'm sorry Ragil Mah. Not to refuse, but ... Ragil is a little traumatized by the so-called matchmaking, "honestly Ragil.

"Are you married to Mr Afdhal's son because of an arranged marriage?" guess Tyo.

"Yes Pah, at first everything was fine, Ragil thought also Hulya accepted the matchmaking, unfortunately all was only compulsion, she had loved others before that. That's why Ragil is afraid that the incident will happen again" he replied.

Maya understands with reluctance the son to get to know his best friend's son, perhaps because of his past.

"Look at. If according to mamah his son temen mamah is good, very good even. The friend was also worried because his son never once introduced a man to him because of the same enthusiasm as you," explained Maya.

"You mean she's also a widow?" ask Ragil curious.

"No. His fate is worse than yours. Her fiance ran away when they were about to get married" explained Maya's spirit.

"Don't that mean it's likely she's still harboring feelings for her former fiance?"

Ragil certainly does not want to be stuck again with the same problem, namely the past that has not been stretched.

"You don't have to marry Gil. Mamah just hope to try to acquaintance first with him, if suitable yes alhamdulillah, if not yes not suitable, mamah also will not be maksa, dear," bargained Maya.

Reluctantly rejecting her mother's wishes, Ragil agrees to her offer.

Although in his heart he did not expect much, at least the mother should not force him if indeed he did not fit with the child of his friend.

.

.

As per the agreement, Maya and Ragil are now in a restaurant where they met.

There were only the two of them, because Tyo felt less well and chose to rest at home.

After all, it was just an introductory event, so Tyo felt he did not need to attend.

Before long a middle-aged woman and a girl came together. Maya immediately welcomes the two.

Ragil who had been busy messaging with Meilia had not paid much attention to his guests.

Until the moment the mother asked him to wake up, Ragil was a little surprised because the woman he wanted to introduce him had known him for a long time.

"Gil, know this aunt Tania with her son Farah," said Maya introduced the two.

Ragil greeted Tania while introducing himself, while to Farah the man just smiled.

"We know each other Mah! Our company is working together" explained Ragil.

"Oh yes, good. Mamah thought you had not met Farah, usually who deals with advertising like Mr. Dinar," replied Maya.

"Yes yesterday I did want to know everything Mah, so ask Mr. Dinar to introduce me to the leader of the CTX company."

The four engaged in a casual conversation. Ragil who has known Farah for a long time feels connected to the girl.

Now he knows that Farah isn't as old as I was. The girl looked relaxed and very different in her opinion.

"Then you two walk" Maya asked suddenly.

Tania also agreed with the proposal of her best friend, she herself did not mind the status of Ragil who is a widower.

For him, as long as there is someone who will take care of his daughter he is happy and promises to his late husband he can keep.

"Well, what the hell!" elak Farah was both embarrassed and annoyed with his mother.

"Loh why? If we continue together, there are mamah with Aunt Maya just chatting," elak Tania.

Actually, this is the first time Maya met Farah, because she and Tania often met but did not bring her child, because Tania yunya at that time Maya did not have a son.

Be the beginning of meeting Maya and Farah at the residence Ragil was not well known by the two if they knew each other the same person.

"How do you want to go home?" ask Ragil.

"Ishh, you calm down, auntie will take Gil's car. Aunty asked you to take Farah home until later, yes," she asked.

Ragil could only rub his nape as it was impossible to reject the two middle-aged women who clearly wanted them to be together.

"Come Far!" break up Ragil finally.

The two got up and said goodbye and left together.

"Be careful, don't mess around!" maya sneered while laughing giggling.

"Sorry mamah I am Far" said Ragil when he heard his mother's words.

"Ah no papa Gil. Where are we going?" farah asked as the two reached the parking lot.

Ragil opens the door for Farah, making the girl blush a little, because honestly he has not felt the attention of the opposite sex.

"Where do you want to go?" reply Ragil relax.

"Do you know the purpose of this meeting Gil?" farah asked directly, she did not want to hope. According to him, the matchmaking that their parents did was too excessive.

"Yes, my mother said to get to know each other first," she replied with a chuckle.

"We know each other, right?" continued.

Farah nodded in agreement. "Just to the extent of knowing, you certainly do not know too well how I am, so do I to you," sambar Farah.

"Then? Do we need to get to know each other more intensely? You know very well how my past is. I'm honestly a little worried about my status."

For Ragil Farah is a good girl though a little stiff, but it doesn't matter, he thinks maybe that's how he protects himself.

"I don't have a problem with someone's status. It's just that you should know, I'm a little traumatized by men, "to be honest.

Farah did not want to hide anything to Ragil. If to be honest, he had kept a sense of the man for a long time, only he always fortified himself that the position of Ragil was still someone's husband, even though they were in the process of divorce.

"May I know?" pinta Ragil is not pushy if Farah is uncomfortable.

It appears Farah took a breath before telling her painful past.

"You know even today I wonder why she left me" Farah explained.

"meaning?"

"He left me without Gil's explanation. I don't know what my mistake was until he treated me like that."

Farah's tears instantly fell if she recalled that painful past.
