Because Amen is the Same
35. Obstructed belief

Ray starts to get unsettled in the workshop after getting a call from his best friend. He tried to digest sentence by sentence from his best friend.

"Practice or unfold" he said.

As soon as his eyes were round, he knew the meaning of the sentence.

"I mean Alan's relationship with Viona" she said.

Ray knew what his best friend meant.

"So what am I supposed to do?, thought Ray" he muttered with a pacing in his room.

"Meet Viona.. Which motor key?" he said again alone. He took the key and grabbed his jacket and he walked out of the room.

In a hurry, Ray directs his motorbike to Viona's parents' house.

A little jammed makes Ray to afternoon on the road, but his intention to go there he did not undo. A little speeding is what Ray did.

While at Viona's current house, there is a guest that is Ahmad. Ahmad had no plans to visit his friend's house, but because he saw so many Viona groceries and he thought half dead if taken by motorcycle, so he helps Viona even though there is a little debate first because Viona does not want to trouble people including her own best friend.

"Let's drink his tea" said Heti's mother invited Ahmad and Ahmad to respond with a nod and a makeshift smile.

"Thank you aunt" Ahmad said, lifting the cup and drinking it.

"Yes, equally" replied Heti's mother again.

From inside the house came Viona's first sister, Yesi. Yesi sat right next to her mother.

"A guest, your friend deck?" Tanya Yesi pretended to know, even though her mother had told her and even made her own tea.

Viona frowned while looking at her brother, she could not believe that her brother had just found out that his friend was coming.

"I'm a friend of Viona's, my name is Ahmad. It happened to meet Viona at Hypermart quite a lot of groceries and the possibility of being carried on a half-dead motorbike" explained Ahmad.

Yesi nodded her head understandingly, "hmmm, that means she came home together?" Ask Jesse again.

"Yes, Viona uses my motorcycle using the car" replied Ahmad again.

"Shop what the hell deck, so you can't use that bike?" Ask Yesi to her sister.

"Ask the first lady, hehehe" replied Viona jokingly and she laughed.

Yesi saw her mother, "iseng kok was Vio shopping real" he replied casually.

Viona immediately saw her mother with a gaping mouth and immediately remembered the monthly money she had collected all this time.

"Mam, kidding, right?" Ask Viona to make sure.

"Son, when's Mama kidding Vio?" Heti's mother replied in a questioning tone.

"So Vio's monthly money is not replaced by mam?" Viona asked again with a glance.

"That mama doesn't know" she replied again.

"Astaghfirullah mam, scream later my wallet because I am hungry" he said again making Yesi, Ahmad and Ibu Heti immediately laughed.

Viona did not smile in the slightest, she thought about her monthly money being depleted due to shopping earlier.

"Smile dong dek" Yesi said making Viona frown.

Ahmad who was there just listened, he missed his family at home.

"I'm sorry Ahmad" said Mother Heti after realizing that there were guests among them.

"Nothing aunt, happy to see it" Responded Ahmad.

"Are you Ahmad who works in a restaurant?" Ask Yesi to Ahmad.

"Yes, I work at the restaurant" Ahmad replied with a smile.

"Oh, have you worked there long?" Ask Mother Heti curious.

"Lumayan aunt, about two years" replied Ahmad.

Ahmad did not admit that he had a restaurant but an ordinary employee, but if the restaurant was built about two years ago.

Still in the middle of the story, suddenly the bell of the house sounds a sign of a guest coming. Viona immediately got up from her seat.

"Let Vio open the gate" he said and left.

The three of them continued the story while Viona opened the gate of her house that was not locked.

"Ray" Viona is shocked to see Ray now standing in front of the gate, "Would you meet Lea?" Ask Viona again.

"Can't you come in?" Ask Ray to Viona.

"Oh yes, get in Ray" Viona lets Ray in and closes the fence again.

Viona and Ray enter together in the house not to forget Viona gave her greetings.

"Assalamualaikum" said Viona as she entered followed by Ray.

"Wa'alaikumussalam" they answered simultaneously while looking at Viona and Ray.

"There's guests?" Ask Viona.

Viona turns to Ray, "please sit down Ray" Viona invites Ray.

Before Ray sat down first salaman to the people who were there. However, after shaking Ahmad's hand, his gaze and smile were unfriendly.

"Viona's friend too?" Ask Ahmad with a smile.

"Yes" answered Ray and he sat down.

Not long after, Viona returned with a glass of tea. He put it on the table right in front of Ray.

"Thank you" Ray said.

"Son Ray wants to see Lea?, too bad she doesn't exist. Leah went to the control doctor" explained Heti's mother.

Ray just nodded in response, "about a long time, ma'am?" Ask Ray.

"Maybe in about half an hour" replied Heti's mother and turned to Viona, "Try your sister's phone, say there's a cousin here" he said.

Viona got up from her seat about to go to the room to pick up a cell phone to call her brother Rifal.

"I just wait, there's something I want to talk to Viona ma'am, sis" His permission to the Yesi and the Hittite mother.

Yesi turns to her mother and sees Viona and turns to Ray.

"Oh, please" Yesi.

Ahmad who heard that immediately smiled at Viona, while Viona saw Ahmad like that just squinted.

Viona sees her mother and sister asking for permission. Yesi and Heti's mother understood with the intention of Viona directly nodding her head.

"Yes, we're there" Appoint Viona a chair not far from their current seat.

Viona and Ray sat face to face, with Viona asking Ray.

"Speak what?" Ask Viona.

"Just relax, I think it's very tense" replied Ray.

"Isshh, serious question even playful" said Viona again with a lazy tone.

"I want to come propose to you" Ray said quickly and with a single breath.

"Haaa" Response Viona.

"Haaa, just?" Ray asked in surprise with Viona's response.

"Hahahaha, Ray is not a joke, funny you" Viona said after she laughed.

"How many times have I told Viona, I'm serious. I came to your house to propose as a sign of my seriousness you said humor. What do you want, or do you not want to marry me?. Just be clear from now on" explained Ray at length, "or have you got anything else, more than me?" Connect again.

Ahmad who is not far from Viona and Ray once glanced, the curiosity was there but he knew that he was only a friend.

"Why the hell see Ahmad?, he's my friend" Viona explained.

"Because that friend sometimes makes us comfortable Viona, not only women who are comfortable with the opposite sex but men as well, because we are normal Viona. Try to understand" Ray explained with a slight plea.

Viona was silent for a moment and replied "but Ahmad and I are friends"

"The men and women's friends don't exist"

"Don't suudzon, no good" Viona reminded.

"What is suudzon?" Ask Ray.

"Bad prejudice" Viona explained.

"Oh" Ray's response was brief.

"Vio if you allow it, Mami and Papi will call me so that they return to Indonesia in the near future" explained Ray again.

"Did your parents know we had different beliefs?" Viona and Ray asked.

"Then how do you come up with the word serious while we are different?" Ask Viona again.

"As long as we have God, we are able to live it" Ray explained.

Viona sighed, there was a sense of not wanting to disappoint the person in front of her at the moment but it was a matter of confidence.

With a gentle and polite tone Viona first mentioned Ray's name.

"Rays, mosques and cathedrals are unlikely to have the same visitors"

"Can't you accept each other for this?" Ask Ray again.

Viona immediately shook her head with a faint look, she did not want to hurt the person who loved her.

"Ray I'm an ordinary woman, and there's more out there than me. Find your understanding"

Ray heard word for word from Viona, his heart hurt, hurt and hurt. Ray looked down to control his feelings.

"Is this a rejection?" Ray asked, looking at Viona.

Viona turned her face away, it was really hard for her to look at Ray's face at this moment. When love approached not the blessing of the parents he fought for but the responsibility that was so heavy in the future that the afterlife.

"We're not as visionary as Ray" replied Viona lowered her head to hide her teary eyes.

"Hehehe" Ray's laughter made Viona look at him confused.

"Why?"

"Your words have begun to ignore Vio, I will come back again" Ray said and re-joined Ahmad, Yesi and Ibu Heti.

Join Ray once chimed in the story while waiting for his cousin.

As for Ahmad, he felt that it was quite a long time ago so he went home.

"I came back first, brother, Ray and Viona" said Viona Ahmad immediately smile.

Ray saw that, heat isn't playing.

"Don't want to say goodbye from earlier, just make emotions. Where does his smile go towards Viona, what does it mean to try" Ray murmured inwardly.

Ahmad's absence there, is fresh air for Ray. No more feeling annoyed to see someone's face.
