Because Amen is the Same
68. Strive Hard

Gladis whispered in Mami Ray's ear and Mami Ray nodded with a smile.

Ray didn't realize it all. He was only focusing on Viona at the moment.

"I'm sorry Vio, this is beyond my expectations" he said.

Gebi and her best friend have not moved seats.

"Walk well" said the man.

"It must be, if you want, the plan must be successful" Gebi responded while raising his drink glass.

"That's it, Viona is called" Gebi said as she flailed her best friend's arm.

All eyes were on Viona who was on stage, Mami Ray called Viona to congratulate Ray and Gladis directly.

Gladis an evil smile with a pretentious good-bye in front of everyone without being told to ask for a microphone for Viona.

"Here" Gladis gave Viona a microphone.

Viona welcomed the gift with a smile.

"First thanks to Gladis for the microphone" Viona said with a smile and calm.

"You can definitely, you're not a weak person because of feelings, you'll be humiliated in this place if you can't control yourself" Viona's monologue.

Ray who is not far away with Viona becomes agitated, he knows Mami and gladis are trying to humiliate Viona.

"Where's the congratulations, can't you?" Ask Mami Ray.

Again Viona smiled hearing the question.

"OK, assalamualaikum and greetings for all of us" Viona deliberately includes the word prosperous because it is certain here not only Muslims but non-Muslims also exist.

"As mentioned earlier, it turns out that I am a special invited guest so that I have the opportunity to stand here to say a word to Gladis and.." His words stopped for a moment.

Ina who was not far from the stage was encouraging Viona, "Viona spirit" he murmured.

"Gladis and Ray. Honestly, I am confused to be here because I want to congratulate both of them but this is just an introduction as a prospective ghost, not fiancee or married" continued Viona.

Everyone present there nodded in affirmation.

Gladis and Mami Ray feel humiliated on stage hearing Viona's delivery. Unlike Ray, he felt relieved to be able to defend himself in front of many people.

"But here I congratulate both of them because they may not be engaged for long or go straight to the wedding, though.." He said again he hung up and turned to Gladis with a smile.

"I've heard that they're married" he goes on to make people whisper to each other.

"Who said that?" Ask Mami Ray to Viona.

"Please ma'am, it will definitely reach the mother of the news I delivered earlier"

"It's a delay, how can I marry my son secretly" protested Mami Ray, her emotions slightly provoked.

"Viona I didn't expect you to be that brave" Ina was proud of Viona. A smile did not fade from her lips, "if this is not complicated" he continued with eyes to monitor Viona on stage.

Ina reached into her phone and recorded Viona talking.

"I heard you were dating Ra, is that true?" Ask Gladis.

Ray heard it clenched his hands withholding emotions, from the question his mother thought was strange had made him upset, now Gladis.

Papi Ray who stood up from his chair forbade Ray to remain calm through the eyes. Ray sighed trying to swallow all those words.

"Dating!, Ray and I are not dating, who are Ray and I dating?, In my religion dating is allowed after marriage, so any activity in it is worth worshiping, and in my religion, it's worth it, not willingly to be held and brought here and there with the capital of sweet words. Because I realize and the women out there also agree with my statement, WE WOMEN ARE VERY VALUABLE AND SPECIAL" Biona explained while smiling as usual.

"Where, okay?" Continue by asking who was present at the event.

This time the stage seemed to belong to Viona, he seemed to know how to master the stage. I don't know how or by chance.

In the eyes of Ray and Ina, tonight Viona is amazing. There is a proud heart, Ina, there is a heart that is more in love with Ray and there are hearts that feel humiliated, namely Gladis and Mami Ray.

"Basstant tau know, talk as if already the inhabitants of heaven" Inner Gladis by holding his microphone strong, he channeled his regret through the microphone.

There was a sense of hate emerging from the hearts of Gladis and Mami Ray.

Unlike Viona, he chose to go down from the stage to Ina. Arriving there, Ina immediately greeted Viona with a happy smile.

"Vio, you made a dead man tick. I'm happy" he said as he held Viona's hand with a proud look.

Viona again just follows what Ina did to her. The smile did not fade on her lips because of Ina.

"What are you going home for?" Ask Ina.

"I'm taking the car, are you?"

"me too. How about going home together?"

"May as well, so I'm safe, hehehe" Viona replied with a joke.

Ina who heard that, directly sent a message to someone.

"Viona is currently not safe" the message was immediately replied by the receiving party.

"That's why I told you to Na" she replied.

"Yes, yes, I drove Viona home" Ina said.

"Ok" he replied, closing their conversation with a message.

🌺

"Plaakk" Gladis slapped Viona.

Viona was shocked while holding her hot cheek from the slap. Viona's cheeks turned red and there was clearly a picture of Gladis' finger.

"Plaakk" Ina returned the slap.

"You're rude" Appoint Gladis with giddy eyes.

"You dare to be just like Viona" Ina said in a high tone, as soon as the female nature in Ina disappeared.

"Who are you, daring to slap Viona like that?" Further.

Viona approaches Ina, "Return yuk?"

"It's okay, right?" Ina confirms Viona before agreeing to her invitation.

"Yes, the compress is cured immediately"

"It's okay, go home yuk!" Viona's birthday is a second time. He's lazy ladenin Gladis, he's drained enough of his energy tonight. The pain in his cheeks was not worth the pain in his heart.

Viona and Ina turn around to get in the car, immediately from the back Ray calls Viona.

"Sorry Vio, are you going home yet? I'll drive ya" Ray offered.

Ina, who was in her car, was forced to go back to Viona.

"Urus is your future wife" Ina said, pointing at Gladis.

Ray stared at Gladis sharply, "What are you doing with Viona?" His word.

"Nobody" Lied Gladis, "look at this" he continued, pointing at his flushed cheeks. He complained to Ray.

"You're doing it again?" I asked Ray coldly.

"Those who did it weren't me, I just came here to thank Viona" Gladis said confidently.

"I'll go home, see you" Viona said after a few minutes of delay due to Ray's arrival.

Viona and Ina bring their respective cars, Ina accidentally follows Viona's car from behind.

Ray returns to meet his parents, followed by Gladis.

"Jeez Lex, where are you from?" Ask her Mama, "oh talk to Gladis again?" Continue with questions.

"Yes Tan, Ra so sweet" Praised Gladis.

Ray looked at the woman sharply and coldly, then he got in the car without leaving a word.

"Follow, aunt and om only" Mami Ray bargained again.

"Can?" Ask Gladis with a happy heart.

"Of course you can dong"

They follow Ray into the car, Mami Ray accidentally tells Gladis to sit in front right next to Ray.

For Ray to protest this time for free, will not pay off. Silent-in-the-car.

"Ekhem" Mami Ray cleared her throat.

Gladis looked back.

"Why Tan?"

"Tuu" Mami Ray replied silently as she pointed at her son.

"Ra, Mommy.." Call Gladis.

Ray put his finger on his lips.

"But your mother called" Gladis said spoiledly. Courageously holding Ray's arm.

Ray immediately stopped his car on the side of the road, then saw Gladis for a moment.

"It can be quiet, not hands, or it will go down here at midnight" Ray told Gladis.

Gladis thought it was just a joke, he just ignored it.

"Ra, relax dong. We won't be getting married very long, so it doesn't matter if we hold on"

"Oh yeah, I'll kill you once" Ray said again and drove back to defend the city road. He didn't care if his parents heard his words.

"Kasian" repeated Gladis did not understand.

"Casian. It is easy to get close to men, but men like women who if they want to have it must pass various challenges. No, willingly like this" Ray explained a little.

Gladis clenched his hands hearing that self-deprecating word. If not the one in love might have slapped his face. He took a slow breath to control his feelings while slowly pulling his hand from Ray's arm.

"I can't help but hear it, as if it were already the holiest man in the world. I've calculated for you Viona, has dared to change my Ra who used to be so obedient to me" Inner Gladis.

Ray's old man who was behind just silently heard that, Mami Ray wanted to defend Gladis but his Papi shook his head at the sign he banned.

"But Pi..?"

"Let them solve the problem themselves"

"The Papi's son is overrated"

This time Mami Ray after saying her last sentence immediately turned her head to the side. She was upset with her husband.
