Because Amen is the Same
62. Back to Korea

Ray returns from the restaurant and quickly packs up his important belongings. This time Ray's plan is not to go just for a while but want to settle in Korea. His heart and mind are out of sync. Hearts still hope for Viona but who is in her head for now while having to leave Indonesia.

The phone vibrates on the table.

"Yes Mi, tomorrow morning Mi. By" Ray said on the phone.

After the phone call with his mom broke, Ray called Alan again.

"Lan, take my bike home, I can't get there" Ray said on the phone.

"I'm busy with Ra" Alan answered across the phone.

"Ok" Ray replies and disconnects the phone.

A few minutes to prepare all the luggage is done. He slammed himself on the bed and closed his eyes.

"May this be the best decision" His heart as if his heart has not fully revealed Viona.

Alan who was on his way without asking much directly towards Ray's house. Not waiting for long Alan arrived, knocking on the door and entering the house while calling his best friend.

"Ra, here's the key to your bike" he shouted in the living room.

"Ra, I'm back. Where are my car keys?" Ask Alan again.

Alan's cries and questions were not responded by Ray, either Ray pretended not to hear or he heard only lazy answer.

"Ra" call Alan again.

"My car keys where Ra put them, called no nyahut. Why else?" Alan was wondering alone in the guest room while looking for the key.

"Ra, where are my keys?" Alan asked again with a shout for the umpteenth time.

"Haaaaa, this is hard" he murmured again.

Alan decides to look for Ray's whereabouts and believes Ray must be in his room. He knocked on the door and entered.

Clamps (open door sound)

"Ra, where are my car keys?, Buset a lot of this stuff, like moving it" said Alan after seeing Ray's luggage.

Ray did not respond to Alan's words, only patting his bed telling Alan to get on the bed.

Alan shuddered in horror.

"Ra, I'm still normal, just look for another one" Alan said, making Ray who initially closed his eyes immediately wide open.

"Hee, your brain's the only one to slide. I'm going to Korea, please keep an eye on the workshop" friend's request.

"Buset, I just keep an eye on my restaurant, let alone watch two places"

"Enough once a week Lan"

"How long in Korea?"

"depends"

"meaning?"

Alan did not understand his best friend's answer.

"Just check my workshop yes bro" said Ray again while patting the shoulder of Alan who sat on one of the chairs in Ray's room.

"Ok" Alan replied with a force.

Ray knew but he just ignored it. Not without reason lingering in Korea, he wanted to forget about Viona.

"Tomorrow I'm leaving, so here's my apartment key" Ray said again, placing the apartment key on Alan's front desk.

"For?"

"My workshop file was there in part"

"Oh" replied Alan briefly, nodding his head.

In contrast to Viona, he is currently agitated by Ahmad's remarks. It turns out that his jokes confused him himself. Viona after returning from the restaurant Ahmad directly entered the room and until now, magrib ahead of him had not left the room as well. It was unusual for Viona to linger in the room without anyone working or praying.

Heti's mother thought that Viona had not returned from the boutique building.

Yesi who came home this afternoon immediately looked back at the files that needed to be taken care of for the transfer of her daughter later.

"Yesi, Viona hasn't come home this time?" Ask Mother Heti.

"Not yet home!, It's mam's night" replied Yesi.

"Mama asked?"

"Oh asked, less focus mam again check Ainun file" said Yesi again.

"Just continue if that's the case, Mama checks Viona in the room" said Heti's mother and left.

Heti's mother knocked on the door twice and entered her daughter's room, which happened to be unlocked.

Viona sleeps resignedly on her bed hearing the door open and the characteristic smell of her mother's perfume.

"Just check you, the tumben didn't come out of the room?"

"Lazy mam, there's no inspiration outside. Hehe"

Heti's mother chose to sit in the bed to be close to her child.

"Where is the building for the boutique, is it ready to use?" Ask Heti's mother wants to know the development of the building.

Viona heard that, instantly rising from her sleep. He felt strange about the building that would buy later.

"Mom, who owned the building before?"

"You don't know, we're buying through an agent"

The answer made sense to Heti's mother, they bought through the agency and until now have not met the previous owner.

"Not bought by mam, he said repaired first all even the color of the building can request itself, Viona happy and curious" said Viona to her mother.

"Good dong, why curious?"

"I want to thank the owner, because that's what the owner of the building cost me"

"But what price?"

"Like the price of the deal, it doesn't change so I'm curious as to what the hell it is" said Viona, holding her hands on the bed.

"Thankful and we just pray that he is given more sustenance than that" said Mother Heti.

And was greeted by Viona quickly while raising her hands up.

"Aaamiiin" replied Viona and rubbed her face.

Time changed so quickly, overnight with the movement of the moon and the sun which was originally dominated by the moon now replaced by the sun. Ray's suitcases have been put in the car that Alan is currently at Ray's house from an hour ago. Alan yawned already many times resisting the drowsiness.

"Ra, what time do you leave for the airport?"

"In a moment, Lan does Viona know I'm back in Korea today?" Ray asks and wishes Viona had come to see him one last time.

"If you tell me it must come but if it does not mean do not know and it is certain not to come" Alan relaxed answer.

"Important Lan, she is happy now with her mother's choice.

Alan can immediately guess the reason for Ray to Korea with the time that Ray himself does not know. He smiles at his heartbroken friend, but what makes Alan curious about the happiness of Viona.

"Do you want Viona to know?" Alan asked and in his hand was already grasping the gadget.

Ray immediately raised his hand forbidding Alan.

"He's happy Lan, let's take me another hour cake-in".

Alan was carrying Ray's car with his suitcase. Alan plays music in the car to relieve his drowsiness.

Alan sends a message to Viona without Ray's knowledge. Ray leaned back while closing his eyes, there was no conversation in the car as usual.

"Just like this has moved country, how did Viona get married" muttered Alan again.

Ray's cell phone call made him have to open his eyes just to see who was calling.

"Oh" he responded while putting the phone back in his suit pocket.

"Who's Ra?" Alan pretended not to know.

"Viona"

"Why not be answered?"

"I'm sleepy, not concentrating on replying to the message at this time" Kilah Ray then closed his eyes again to sleep before reaching the airport.

"Had said that I was upset because Viona did not meet before going to Korea, until Korea regretted not replying to Viona's message"

"As far as you are Lan, tell me when you get to the airport" said Ray again lazy to extend the story.

10 Minutes later, Alan wakes Ray up and gets out of the car and helps Ray get his suitcases out of the car.

"Ra, you've been serious about going to Korea for a long time?" Alan asked unsure.

"Yes, why don't you believe it?" Ask Ray back to his best friend.

"Hmm how is it. Aren't you afraid that Viona might be taken by someone else?" Ask Alan again.

Ray just laughed at hearing that, either laughing worriedly or disappointed only Ray knew.

"You have a problem with Viona? If there's no run but finish it"

"The problem doesn't exist, so what is to be solved. Looks like I have to go in for this check right now" Ray said as he looked at his watch, "by Lan" and they held hands.

Ray enters the airport to check in before making a flight while Alan returns to his apartment before going to the restaurant.
