Because Amen is the Same
53. Viona Panic

Morning blind Ray lounging on the bed. Covering himself with a thick blanket made Ray lulled and went into dreamland again.

The vibration of his phone on the nightstand did not make Ray disturbed, the caller was not unyielding and continued to call.

At exactly 9am, Ray just woke up. Stretching his muscles as his initial activity. After his life was collected and felt his body get out of bed.

Humans in general wake up early, especially the first young person seen is his cellphone.

"Mommy called, morning phone tumben" muttered Ray and called back to his mother.

The second phone call was picked up by Ray with a casual discussion as usual, before his mother asked Viona again.

"Lex, where is Viona worshiping?"

Ray hears such a question from his initially confused mother but sooner or later will tell the truth.

"He didn't worship Mi"

"What do you mean?, Mami doesn't understand"

"She's a Mi Muslim" Ray's answer made her Mommy sound clear on the phone in shock.

"So?. has Lex decided"

"Mi, but I love Viona"

"Are there no other women, other than Viona?" Ask her mother again.

"Many but Viona is different from the others Mi"

"Mommy doesn't want to know" Her mother's words on the phone were final and turned off the phone.

Ray decided to sit on the bed first, making the mumet that he experienced. Finding the best solution was Ray's choice.

He fiddled with his phone again looking for a contact and stopped at his cousin's cell phone number. The phone was connected but answered.

"Sir Marcel, super busy very much" he muttered and called back but the result remained the same.

Ray turns to Alan's contacts, as Alan's best friend hopes to give him a solution.

"Hello, where's Lan?" Ask Ray.

"It's normal at the restaurant, come here with Viona" Alan said in the phone call.

"Can't right now, I have Lan's problem"

"Wait..wait, you have a problem, what problem? Don't tell me you're having trouble with Viona's family. Oh Ra, not yet a ghost has been on the black list first. I can go forward, hehehe" joked Alan on the phone.

"Have you?, can I talk now?" Ask Ray to Alan.

Alan immediately got up from his chair and walked up to the window of his room.

"Ra, is this serious?" Alan asked not to believe that Ray was serious in his words.

"Seriously, you like to joke. I'm dizzy that Mami already knows that Viona is Muslim"

"Good dong, continues?" Ask Alan curiously.

"How come?" Ask Ray who failed to understand.

"Where does your Mami's response fit Viona Muslim, that's what I mean Ra" Alan said by pressing each sentence.

"Don't know Lan, Mami was immediately off the phone" Ray said in a weak tone.

"The spirit of bro, the love fighter" Alan cheers Ray up, but has no effect on him.

"It was Lan, my cousin called" Pamit Ray then disconnected.

Ray's love trials began and it was only early that he was dizzy. Ray called his cousin Marcellea.

"Hello kak" as Ray's initial remark on the phone.

"Hello too, why Lex?" Ask Marcellea.

"I'm confused brother, Mami already knew that Viona was a Muslim"

"Keep Mami how to fit the deck?" Marcellea asks worried about hating Ray after finding out Viona is Muslim.

"So Mami how Lex is, does Mami know that you're serious about Viona?" Marcellea asked curiously.

"Maybe sister, suddenly turned off the phone line" Ray explained to Marcellea understand that it was a rejection.

"Please, pray Mami will agree later" Marcellea advised her cousin.

"Where if you know Viona is betrothed by her mother, the more chaotic this child" Marcellea's inner self.

"Thank you, by" Ray said, turning off the phone.

This afternoon, Ray, as usual, was miffed. He focused on being exasperated before continuing his Papi's efforts. Ray's mind is currently divided, but most importantly his Mama's business.

Ray is looking for a way to get her Mama to accept Viona well, even though she finds it very difficult.

"Ask whom, Alan even joked a lot" murmured Ray while thinking.

"Dizziness if gini" said Ray again.

Still busy with his own thoughts, suddenly someone knocked on the door. As usual, knocking on the door means people who work and usually trust Ray.

"Come in" Ray invites the person who knocks on the door.

The door opened slowly and there was a child wearing a school uniform.

"Who sir?" Ray asks because he's hiding behind Ray's trust.

"That is often brought by Viona sir" Obviously the person and Ainun slowly brought up his body.

"Om good" called Ainun as he waved his hand.

"Hello dear" replied Ray as he approached Ainun who was at the door. "Come with whom?" Reciprocity.

"Tu" Appoint Ainun.

Ray followed the direction of Ainun's index finger and there was seen a woman coming downhill with a smile at the corner of his lips that did not fade. Beautiful, indeed the woman among Ainun is beautiful, not hypocritical eyes men say that she is like an angel of the earth.

"Hy meet me Gebi Viona's friend, Ainun's aunt" Gebi explained as she stretched out her hand in front.

"I'm Ray" Ray responded after welcoming the hand.

While shaking hands, the surveillance camera went along. One picture was taken by someone.

"Please enter" Ray invited them to sit in his room.

Gebi did not say much just seeing Ray and Ainun so familiar.

"Why are the men who like Viona all well-established and handsome men" his inner self with a smile.

That familiarity made Gebi's not-so-loving soul of the little boy touched by Ainun's treatment of him.

"Auntie, Aunt Viona when is she coming?" Ask Ainun.

"Let's aunty's phone" replied Gebi.

"Thank you aunt, Ainun continued to play with good om ya" Pamitnya and Gebi just nodded yes.

On the other hand, Viona panicked at her parents' school because after arriving, said her school teacher Ainun had been picked up.

"Mom, have you ever picked up Ainun before, no ma'am?"

"It's also less tau mbak, try asking the security guard"

Viona went straight to the place where the security guard was.

"Sir, see this boy? Said her teacher's mother had picked her up" Viona explained.

"Yes mbak, said a friend mbak and mbak who asked" explained the security guard.

"Never sir, O Allah" Viona panicked even more if her sister found out.

Viona would not want to call Ahmad and Ray to ask for help looking for Ainun. Her thoughts were currently deadlocked, which she thought of how Ainun was found before her brother called.

"Hello Mad, I ask you to help find Ainun, said the security guard who picked up Ainun at his school, assalamualaikum" said Viona then turned off the phone.

Viona looks for Ray's contacts on her phone.

"Hello Ray can ask for help?" Viona asked in panic.

"Yes, mina please what?" Ask Ray back.

Viona's panic-stricken tone was clear, "help me find Ainun" Viona said.

Ray immediately saw Gebi at a glance and pointed his phone at Ainun.

Ainun immediately called out his aunt's name, "auntie, I'm in good om"

Viona heard the sound of her voice was relieved and angry, now Viona misunderstood Ray.

Gebi seemed to be acting relaxed and keen to go to the toilet for a while.

"Auntie to the toilet for a while, yes, I put my friend" said Gebi. He came out of the room in a hurry.

Viona calls Ahmad again after hearing Ainun is in Ray's workshop.

"Assalamualaikum Mad, where are you?" Viona asks because she is afraid that Ahmad has now searched for Ainun using a photo that Viona accidentally sent.

"Wa'alaikumussalam, I've been on my way. You where? Bring a motorbike or a car now?" Ahmad asked repeatedly, he was worried if Viona drove a vehicle in a panic usually endangers him.

"Bring the Mad motor. Mad continued work alone, Ainun turned out to be in Ray's workshop" said Viona told Ahmad.

"Can't you?" Ask Ahmad wonder.

"I don't know Mad, I'm surprised. I was also curious who brought Ainun in Ray's workshop and claimed to be my friend" Viona explained.

Ahmad felt something strange about this incident, "Vio, save your bike first, I pick it up now, Ok. Assalamualaikum"

Ahmad deliberately did not wait for Viona to answer his greetings and he turned off the phone, because he already knew Viona would not.

As for Viona, just sighing resignedly to refuse is impossible because the phone connection is dead.

"Ahmad nih, long time like to make your own decisions" muttered Viona and brought his motorbike and first permission to Ainun school security.

"Sir, pick up the bike sir, want to pick up Ainun first" said Viona politely.

"Yes mbak, please I will take care of it until back here" he replied with a smile.

"Thank you sir before, I say yes sir" said Viona then went to the highway because he thought Ahmad was close.

5 minutes waiting, Ahmad's car arrived and immediately honked and lowered the car glass.

"Vio in" call Ahmad.

Viona looked at Ahmad just getting in the car.

"Don't yell, I'm not deaf" Viona's reply made Ahmad laugh.

"Hahaha, just relax Vio's time. If angry his friend the devil"

"Yes, you're the demon" An annoyed reply from Viona.

"Hahaha, meaning all this time you eat ice cream made by Satan dong" Ahmad keceplosan.

"That's your ice cream?" Viona asked in disbelief.

"Why?" Ask Ahmad back, "wish it was made by me and your mama you married you to me, so what?" Ask Ahmad back

"Heeee, I don't want to be in a match with you either. My mother's words were out of annoyance" replied Viona did not want to lose. He suddenly thought of his matchmaking and the pounding of his mother's friend.

"If you're talking about it Mad, so remember being betrothed to a person I don't know whose origin I have and who is pictured in my head right now..." Viona's speech was cut quickly by Ahmad.

"What?"

"Udah grizzled Mad. Any guy wants to be betrothed when he's young, right?"

"Do not rule out the possibility, too, many are still young in marriage and married and happy" explained Ahmad as if he did not accept what the viona said.

"Now it's modern times not the days of Siti Nurbaya"

"If you want to keep yourself from dating"

"Oh yeah, I don't think.. Mad help me to disappear before the match"

Ahmad nodded his head inexhaustibly with Viona's thoughts at this time.

"Can't try first, who knows if it's a soul mate"

"Mad, I can't. I'm not ready" Viona said again. "Mad's front shop" he said.

"Ok" replied Ahmad then brought his car in the garage yard area.

Viona got out of the car and entered the workshop. Workshop employee Ray immediately greeted the friendly Viona.

"Assalamualaikum mbak Viona"

"Wa'alaikumussalam mas, is there your boss?" Ask Viona again and Ahmad just listened and followed where Viona went.

"Mbak Viona more beautiful after the hijab" Timpal one of the workshop employees.

Viona simply replied with a smile.

"Bak Viona why did you just come back?" Ask one of them again.

"Is Viona here often?" Batin Ahmad's.

"Live above mbak, it's been awaited" said Ray's trust approached Viona.

"Oh, thank you" replied Viona, "Come on Mad" He invited Ahmad.

Not waiting for long, Viona and Ahmad were in front of Ray's room. Viona knocked on the door and entered.

Ainun who was playing with Ray immediately ran to hug Viona.

Viona welcomed Ainun's embrace, as Viona cried.

"Don't think gini dong babe, auntie scared. Auntie thought you were missing earlier" Viona said as she looked at the face of her father.

"Auntie wants to talk to your mother if you ask aunt" continued Viona.

"Who brought Ainun here?" Viona asked Ray.

"Women, he says your friend" explained Ray.

"Who?" Ask Viona back.

"I don't know, suddenly someone knocked on the door turned out to be Ainun" explained Ray.

Viona tried to remember her friends one by one, she felt very unlikely.

"Ray you took a picture of the guy?" Ask Viona again.

"For?, he himself confessed like that and he's in the toilet again" replied Ray.

"Sorry, the characteristics of people are high, brown skin mature, long hair quite beautiful" explained Ahmad.

"Hahaha, if you want to say beautiful, say beautiful do not wear enough frills" Timpal Viona after laughing at Ahmad.

"Take a soul mate, so keep your own soul mate number one" explained Ahmad.

"Tell it" answered Viona in disbelief, "Honey come home later to the afternoon scolded again we are the same mother and grandmother" said Viona to Ainun.

"One more time with aunt, we just came home" Ainun responded.

Viona resignedly heard the response of the ponakan.

"Okay, five minutes"

Ainun heard that instantly smile to Viona.

"This is one of the reasons I'm not ready to get married and have kids"

"Why?" Ray and Ahmad asked at the same time.

"Why is this guy? Kepo" Inner Ray.

"Not ready to bother"

"Why on kepo?" Ask Viona back, "lucky baby come home. Mad still want to be here?" Ask about Ahmad.

"Thank you Ray, I don't know if that's someone who didn't bring Ainun here" Viona's heartfelt words to Ray.

"Sama-sama Vio" Javan Ray softly, "Viona I'm jealous" she said softly.

"Why?" Viona asked to be sure.

"Hehe, no. Go home later if it's found out Marcel's brother was scolded anyway"

Ray averted with a joke, Viona was just a smile hearing that.

"We're saying goodbye" Ahmad cut off the conversation.

Ray glanced at Ahmad lazily and refocused himself on Viona and Ainun.

"You be careful, remember!!" Ray warns Viona and Ainun.

"Yes, by" said Viona and they left.
