Because Amen is the Same
11. Mute Witness

Ray buys a gulali for Ainun so that he can sit a henchman in an unattended chair more extra.

"Likes?" Ask Ray.

"Yes" Jawan Ainun while nodding and pinching the gulali he held and inserted in his mouth.

"Aaaaa" Viona opened her mouth, "auntie dong too" she continued.

"Auntie is already big" Ainun replied as he kept the scroll away from Viona.

"Basic stingy" Viona said again.

Ray who saw that was just a funny smile. Fun, funny and passionate, that's what Ray feels right now.

"Likes too?" Ask Ray to Viona.

"No, just bother Ainun" replied Viona, "what did you want to say?" After remembering their beginning to the park.

Ray first fixed his sitting position and put on a serious face.

"Viona, can we be friends?" Ask Ray.

"Friends, we're friends, right?" Ask viona again.

"Friends in other respects, I mean, like dating people" Ray said.

"If you're dating, I don't think about Ray, I'm sorry" Viona replied carefully.

"Ohh that's it" Ray responded and then he was silent.

"Auntie, Ainun's gulali is gone" Ainun reported to Viona.

"Well, how about a cake?" Viona asked again and was taken in by Ainun.

Viona opened her small bag to get the money, but Ray gave Ainun the money first.

"Now, buy what Ainun likes" said Ray and Ainun excitedly, "gold here" Ray continued, waving to the balloon seller.

"What are those balloons for?" Viona asked Ray.

"For Ainun is not for you Viona" Ray replied without seeing Viona. This time Ray more daring to slip Viona's name in his speech.

"All the colors yes mas" Ray said again.

"That's too much" Prohibited Viona and Ray directly raised his index finger and he stuck it on his lips.

"Hehehe, be patient. Sometimes the man was dizzy against the wife who was not silent" said the balloon seller who made Viona undo the intention to speak again.

Viona sits back in the chair letting Ainun and Ray pick out the balloons for Ainun's toys.

While Ray, seeing Viona at a glance, pays for the balloon with red money.

"No change in gold" said the balloon seller while looking for change in a small bag where the money was.

"Don't worry, thank you for keeping him quiet for a moment, although later maybe continue again" said Ray and the balloon seller immediately laughed.

"Mas.mas, there's-there, but the patient is mas, it's like that woman. Like the mathematical formula mas, women are derived formulas that have no end. Hehe, excuse me" He said and left and Ray remembered the father's words making him smile a little.

"Truly father" his monologue.

"Darling, what color balloons do you want?" Ray asked, he immediately forgot the existence of Viona around them.

"Red" Ainun replied.

"What color is it?" Ask Ray.

"Blue, yellow, green everything Om" Ainun said again.

"Come, this" Ray gave the balloons to Ainun.

Viona just kept quiet and looked at the familiarity. Ray and Ainun.

"I'm sorry Ray, for dating I don't want to" Inner Viona and stood up to Ponakan and Ray.

"Can join?" Ask Viona with a smile.

"May" replied Ray, "didn't you love?" He then asked Ainun a question.

Ainun nodded, "yes aunt".

The three of them played, the atmosphere in the park this afternoon seemed to belong to the three of them. Viona is the youngest child so a simple moment like this is what makes her happy, while Ray is an only child, so there are people who are familiar with him very happy in his life and it was his dream all along. Unlike the little Ainun, he was very happy to have his playmates.

"Auntie, Om. Ainun was very happy today" he said with an undisturbed smile on his face.

"Oh yeah, auntie too" Timpal Viona.

"If om?" Ask Ainun while looking at Ray.

"Hmmm, om happy too" he replied slowly while looking at Viona.

"Horee, everyone's happy" Ainun said, pleased by holding the balloon, "om thank you for the balloon" he continued, smiling at Ray.

"If you are sad, call Ainun" he said again and then he went to play the balloon that Ray bought.

"Viona, foam we continue the talk earlier?" Ask Ray.

"Sorry Ray, for dating I can not and certainly also know in Islam is prohibited from dating. So again, I'm sorry" replied Viona refused, because for him useless answered later and now still the answer is the same.

Ray was curious and did not understand the meaning of Viona's words, why is it forbidden to date?, why did I just hear that sentence? Alan is a Muslim but he's dating, if it's only for women.

In Ray's head question after question raged, as if the question in his brain needed an answer, but asked who? Will Viona be able to help.

Ray was silent, he digested the sentence that Viona said earlier.

"Why can't you date?" Ask Ray carefully.

Viona turned to Ray, and at that time she thought that Ray was a Muslim like her.

"Ask your teacher" replied Viona.

"Teacher" Ray repeated, "who?" Reciprocity.

"We are adults, we can never hear that sentence. Kids know it" Viona explained.

"Eemmm, ta.pi honestly I don't know. You see, I never heard it either" he said slowly.

"Learn Ray, I'm sorry I said this because I already consider you my best friend" Viona said with a sincere smile at Ray.

Ray immediately raised his hand, "Don't, in the female dictionary if it's a friend then it's difficult for men to a more serious stage"

Viona laughed at Ray's words, "hahaha, no one knows, right?" Ask after she laughs.

"Right, but on to a more serious level?" Ask Ray again back to the subject matter as Ray's original purpose to bring Viona and Ainun here.

"Please come home" replied Viona and it was one of Ray's green lights.

But why does Ray's heart hesitate with such an answer, because he thinks it's not that easy for a woman to tell a man to come to her house.

And even a man Ray would not go so easily in a woman's house without any preparation. Especially mental preparation against the family of women.

"Viona can ask for your phone number?" Ask Ray again.

"For?" Ask Viona back.

"I'm really serious Viona, remember that!!" Ray said seriously.

"Yes, I know it's Ray" Viona replied casually. He thought that Ray's speech was the intention of asking for a phone number is not serious in terms of relationships.

"But you don't seem serious, is there anything else?. If there really is, then I'm backing off" Ray said with his eyes constantly monitoring Ainun playing balloons.

"What does Ray mean exactly?, Ahh stupid very, not long known too. The name of the man will throw bait any important place there is water and fish so tuh, want to be eaten or not the bait depends on the fish" Monolog Viona.

"Viona, are you ok?" Ray's question managed to disperse his daydream.

"Aaa. ekhem, okay. okay" replied Viona a little surprised.

"We go home, it seems like it's noon" said Viona again who suddenly decided unilaterally. He rose from his seat to Ainun.

"Let's play it again, it's noon. It's time for lunch" Viona said with a smile on her face.

Ainun turned his head as he turned his back to Viona, "auntie in 5 minutes" he bargained.

"Later stomach pain, afternoon we play again with aunt Lea" persuaded Viona.

"Auntie Lea, likes promises but doesn't keep them" Ainun said, making Viona laugh.

"Hahaha, I'll tell Aunt Lea, not to promise Ainun again, how?" Ask viona.

"Again" Ainun replied.

"The answer is like a big man. We're going home, right?" Ask Viona to make sure.

"Yes" and Ainun ran to Ray who was sitting.

Ray has always been amazed by Viona's tenderness towards her bangs. Ray greeted Ainun with a smile.

"Om said our aunt had lunch" Ainun said.

"Third?" Ray asked with a smile.

"Yes, good sign" Monologue Ray

"Yes, the aunt said that" Ainun explained, making Viona shake her head.

"OK" replied Ray then glanced at Viona with a smile, "we're walking" he continued.

"Yee, I want to eat ice cream" Ainun said happily.

"Like Ainun, want to eat anything today. Om the deal" Ray said again.

They drive to the parking lot where Ray's car is, then find a nearby restaurant before Ainun whines for food.

On the other hand, Alan just came out of Ray's room. He feels at home in not because there are no activities, but he is busy stalking Viona social media.

Alan before making an approach first find out Viona's likes and favorite places.

Alan came out of the room while moving his neck left right because he felt sore due to long staring at the screen of his phone.

"Where's ray?" Alan asked after arriving at the place where his employees repaired the motorcycle and damaged the car.

"Marine sir" replied one of them.

"Where?" Ask Alan again.

"Do not know that sir, who clearly went with women and children" he replied again.

"Women and children" Alan repeated while thinking.

"Who is that woman? What's Gladis? But there's no way she likes a child, just wants to see her face on the blur of a child" monologue Alan and shudder in horror at imagining it.

"Thank you" Alan said, then reached back in his pants pocket to retrieve HP.

Alan called many times, active but not answered. He was not discouraged to keep contacting Ray.

While Ray saw his phone vibrate and the name of Alan who called, he deliberately ignored. Not without reason, but Alan will only hinder his approach to Viona.

"Thank you who knows it's important" said Viona because the phone has vibrated many times that there is no stopping.

"Later until the new restaurant I call back, the danger of picking up the phone is driving" Ray's reasoning makes perfect sense though it's not her main reason that Viona believes.

"Right as well" Viona replied and then went back to silence in the car.

Alan now sends a message to Ray.

️ Alan: Ray, where?

"Ting" Ray's phone again.

And Viona said again, "it seems like a message"

"Usually that kind of sound is a sign that the battery is running out" Kilah Ray again and took his phone accidentally turned off.

"Different from my phone yes" said Viona again.

"Maybe it's because of different brands of hp" replied Ray as long as Viona believed.

"It seems" Viona and Ray replied in relief at Viona's reply.

"It turns out not drag Gladis who likes to know beyond the limit" Ray monologue while carrying his car.

🌺

Alan returns to pick up the keys to Ray's room and drives his car to a nearby restaurant. Alan did not wait long for his order because the restaurant was his subscription restaurant.

Alan enjoyed the meal while waiting for the dzuhur prayer before returning home.

20 Minutes Alan sat in the restaurant just to wait for the dzuhur prayer. Actually it is so bored it feels to wait alone but if the workshop is quite far away and will not be able to pray together in the mosque.

While at the restaurant where Ainun, Viona and Ray were again enjoying the dishes served. The food was so appetizing to its connoisseurs that Ainun was so voracious.

"Om the food here is good" Ainun said.

"Yes dong, my favorite food" Ray said.

"Oh yeah, it's the same" said Viona and instantly silent. Not without reason, because he accidentally said his favorite food to people he had not long known.

Viona wanted to rectify her words, but the sound of the Adhan in the mushala was clearly heard making Viona have to be quiet and down to hear the Adhan.

Ray, who is a non-Muslim, does not know that. He thought that Viona was just a normal silence. Curious, that's what Ray's natural. Looking at Ainun who was eating, it seemed like there was no choice but to ask the leak. He asked Ainun.

"Why is Aunt Viona silent?" asked Ray curiously.

"Adzan Om" replied Ainun.

"If Adhan should be silent can't talk?" Ask Ray marketing.

"Yes Om, grandma said no" Ainun replied and Ray nodded in understanding.

Ray looked back at Viona and then he saw Viona after the Adhan as if he was praying. Curiousness that Ray asked again.

"What to pray after the Adhan?" Ask Ray again.

"Yes, the most mustajab time is praying between the adhan and iqamah, when it rains and the last third of the night" Viona explained, "we have entered the mosque to pray dzuhur" Connect Viona again and Ray just nods and goes to the cashier but Viona forbids Ray.

"Don't, I'm just. It has brought me and Ainun here so it is my turn to treat" Viona explained not feeling good to Ray.

"Yes you paid, here's the card" Ray said and pulled out the card and pulled Viona's hand and put the card in Viona's hand.

"Pay now" Ray said.

"But it's not gini either" Viona whispered a little.

"I'll wait, not pray?" Ask Ray to Viona.

"Yes, God is number one" Viona said, making Ray smile but not for his heart.

"Oohh God, is this true?" Monologue Ray.

"Had" Viona said after returning and Ray fluttered, "Why?" Viona continued to be astonished by Ray's behavior today.
