Because Amen is the Same
55. Like Swallowing a Bitter Pill

Ting... (Bell of the house)

"Mr, the bell sounds" Ainun told Heti's mother.

"Yes, continue to play later grandma calls aunt Viona open the gate of the house" he replied.

Heti heads for the kitchen where Yesi and Viona again fight with the kitchen utensils.

"What's wrong mam?" Yesi asked, she was sure there was no way her mother could come without something.

"There are guests, but they're still out" said Ms. Heti.

"Have to enter mam" Timpal Viona while frying fish, "alum mam, explodes later hit by hot oil" he continued without turning his head.

"Open the gate of the deck" said Yesi because Viona did not understand the meaning of her mother.

"Oh yes, forgot mam. hehe" replied Viona with a cry while turning off the gas stove and the road to the gate of the house.

"Who is visiting at this hour, does not know the time of his name" muttered Viona in an annoyed tone, "where the smell of onions again, fainting like this guest met me, hehehe" Continue while pushing the gate a little to peek.

"Ray" Her inner being while rounding her eyes.

Viona peeked back in Ray's position against the gate, "Right Ray, what's the matter here?" His mind was curious but willing to ask was not brave.

"Good to not hear the sound of the gate" he muttered as he rubbed his chest and ran back inside the house directly to the kitchen.

"Lho, where's the guest?" Ask Yesi.

"Yes, are you home?" Ask Heti's mother.

"Not yet but Viona did not have time to invite in, abdominal pain" Kilahnya run to the bathroom.

"Astaghfirullah, that's a child" said Heti's mother after hearing her son's words and hurriedly went out of the house and opened the gate of her house slowly.

At that time Ray heard the sound of the gate so he waited while smiling.

"Oh Ray, come in" said Heti's mother.

Ray gladly enters following Heti's mother. Hethi's mother let Ray sit down and he said goodbye to the kitchen.

"Before a while" her pamphit then left and Ray replied to her with a polite nod.

"Who's mam?" Ask Yesi after her mother enters the kitchen.

"Ray"

"Would you meet Lea?"

"Not knowing, not asking"

"Oh"

"Ehh, Vio bring his drink in front" ordered Heti's mother.

At that time Viona pretended to have just come out of the bathroom, "Oh mam, Vio has a stomachache" he said while holding his stomach.

"Have you taken your medicine?" Ask Yesi, "Alhamdulillah is done cooking" he continued while collecting dirty kitchen utensils.

"The first day of menstruation is like that, but do not know today it hurts so much, my hands just get cold" Kilah Viona again, "yes right?" He asked while holding the hands of his mother and Yesi.

"Istrahat in the room" said Heti's mother.

Yesi shook his head to see his sister, "o Allah deck" he said, "lie again it's a child" he said.

Viona went to her room with pleasure. Yesi cleans the kitchen while Heti's mother to the living room accompanies Ray there with Ainun.

"Sorry Ray, if you want to see Lea, they have not returned" said Heti's mother.

"No aunt, want to meet the real Viona family" he said with a little nervous.

"Oh yeah, what's wrong?"

Ray improved his sitting position, "Before I apologize, my arrival wanted to convey my intention to establish a serious relationship with aunty son Viona"

"You want to take Vio on a show?, Sorry son Ray, I am not allowed as a mother my son to date" he explained.

"Not so tan, Viona had already told me about it" Ray explained quickly, he took out the ring box, "as a sign of my seriousness, as well, I want Viona to wear this ring until my parents get back here"

"When did Ray's parents come to Indonesia?"

Ray was silent, because he himself did not know when his parents to Indonesia plus his parents refused on the grounds of being ungodly.

Heti's mother sighed, "Honestly, the mother's son is already a match for someone else"

Ray immediately lowered his head, just this afternoon imagining a happy life with Viona now like being slapped hard with the news that Viona was betrothed to someone else.

With a slightly trembling tone Ray ventured to ask, "Did Viona know about the matchmaking?"

Ray's hoping it's his mother's plan and Viona doesn't know yet.

"Yes, tau. Viona hasn't told me?"

Ray shook his head slowly, steadying himself to stand up in front of Viona's parents, trying to hide the sadness with a smile.

Ray kept the ring box on the table and said, "Please send my regards to Viona and this ring consider it our friendship ring, excuse me Tan. I have to go"

Ray walks with a wound in his heart and is disappointed in Viona.

While Heti's mother did not feel good to Ray, but how long ago about the matchmaking Ray will hear.

Heti's mother catches up with Ray, and Heti quickly calls out to her.

"Son Ray wait"

Ray turned around with a forced smile, "Yes Tan"

"Tante is sorry, Aunt doesn't know that you like Vio" said Mother Heti felt guilty.

"It's okay Tan, maybe God destined only to know each other as friends"

"Once again apologize" said Mother Heti again, "Udah adzan magrib, did not pray first just come home?"

Ray immediately raised his hand, "Gak Tan. Pamit go home tan" Pamit both.

Ray drives his motorcycle home and Heti's mother enters the house.

🌺

Dinner this time was so wise, there was no chatter on the sidelines eating. Heti's mother who used to open the story this time was silent. As a child who is already grown, of course know the changes of their mother.

Viona nudged onto Yesi's arm.

"Why?"

"Mama why?

"Oh" a short answer from Viona.

Viona was always watching her mother, she wanted to ask but was disinclined to see the current state. Ainun the little one was among them, Viona took advantage of it. Viona called Ainun over to get closer.

"Ask grandma, why silence" whispered Viona into Ainun's ear and Ainun nodded in understanding.

Ainun approached Heti's mother, "kok grandma silent, granny sick?"

Heti's mother gently rubbed the head of her first grandchild.

"No, who said Grandma was silent?. Grandma's just enjoying dinner this time"

"That's it, grandma?" Ask again and Heti's mother nods with a smile.

Ainun returned to his chair, "grandmother is not silent just enjoying mother's cooking" he said as if telling his mother and aunt.

"Mam, Ray came here why did you come home so quickly?" Yesi asked suddenly remembered Ray.

"Maybe I'd like to see Lea's sister, but Lea's not back here yet" said Viona.

"Maybe" answered Heti's mother briefly, she did not want the two children to know the purpose of Ray's arrival.

"You Vio is not polite, Ray came and pretended to have stomach pain" Yesi said again.

As soon as Viona rounded her eyes, how could the acting style of a professional artist still foam also known by her brother.

Viona took a breath.

"Why Vio?" Asked Yesi gently with emphasis.

"Breath first, brother, and Vio answered" he said, but from the bottom of his heart he also did not know why he could avoid Ray just like that.

"Already continue eating, new wife" Mother Heti broke up.

"Mam, it's not polite that this friend came to see at least let's run out it said again not feeling well, it's done mam" said Yesi again.

"You understand, but the position was better, Viona did not meet Ray, it was right earlier" he replied, "I mean mama, no matter what is important do not be too frequent" he quickly corrected.

Viona immediately started to work hearing her mother's words.

"What's the matter exactly?" Inner Viona.

"Mam, what did Ray say?" Tanya Yesi was still curious.

"Son, there's just Ray's stuff for Viona"

"What kind of creations is mam?" Viona asked.

"There's a room for mama" replied Heti's mother.

Dinner was over, as Heti's mother said at dinner last night, now Heti's mother is back in the middle room with her ring box.

"It"

"Haa" Viona's mouth opened. She did not expect for the second time Ray gave her a ring.

"For..." Viona said in disbelief.

"Yes, my mother did not feel good to refuse the ring earlier" said Mother Heti.

"Thank you mam, but why did Ray buy another ring" Viona said as she opened the ring box.

"Again" Yesi repeated as she looked at her sister Viona.

"You mean Ray's given you a ring before?" Ask Mother Heti to make sure.

"Newly this time" Kilah Viona without seeing the faces of her mother and sister.

"Viona don't like to lie, try to be honest with your sister and mom" Ask Yesi.

"Yes mam, sis" replied Viona, "but I give it back" He continued.

"Keep that ring?" Show Yesi.

"Why this ring? Ask Viona back.

"Sort of..." Heti's mother's words stopped immediately after hearing the ringtone of her phone.

"Mom pick up the phone first" Pamitnya then leave.

Viona and Yesi return to discuss Ray. Viona told me everything without anyone else covering up from her sister.

"Did you love Ray?" Ask Yesi.

"Don't know brother, only I feel happy near Ray and comfortable" replied Viona immediately slowed down at the end of her sentence.

"So don't know if this is true or not, but according to my brother, Ray loves you"

"Right, Ray used to say that"

"Aow brother, there is no need to be traced too. It hurts!!" Viona said while rubbing her head.

"Eat him, keep Ray saying what else?"

"Request a time"

"Already Viona, don't answer again can-can brother angry with your answer"

"Can't you?" Ask Viona.

Yesi did not reply, Yesi felt sorry for Ray and was annoyed at his sister who was insensitive to Ray's feelings.

Viona looked back at the ring.

"God's beauty is very good" muttered Viona as she opened the ring and tried to insert the ring in her day.

"Paper" Inner Viona.

The paper Ray slipped in the ring box.

Fill the paper "I LOVE YOU WHOLEHEARTEDLY, I PROMISE TO MAKE YOU HAPPY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE"

"Ray why are you like this, we are different" Viona said.

"Sister, I'm going to the room. Tell my mom I was a wife first" Pamit Viona without waiting for an answer from her brother.

"What the hell is the content of the paper" muttered Yesi.

Arriving in Viona's room again read the contents of the paper. He knew Ray's feelings were so sincere to him, but their barrier was towering.

Viona unconsciously shed tears, "I'm sorry Ray" she muttered as she laid her body on the bed.

Viona carried the words scraped off the paper with her night dream.
