Because Amen is the Same
73. Feel Safe

At 01:00 Early Day

Three cars stopped right in front of Viona's gate. There was a bad taste in Viona's heart, but it was all beyond her ability to forbid the two men from driving her home. But if he is honest, he is afraid to cross the road that is far enough distance boutiques and his home to be taken alone.

Viona got out of the car to open the gate of her house. There is an initiative from Ray to get out of the car to help Viona, but it was preceded by Ahmad.

"Let me" Ahmad told Viona and it was very clear to Ray.

"Just go home, it's 1 in the morning"

"True, next time be careful, assalamualaikum Vio, be careful" said Ahmad then entered the car, and turned his car back towards the big road.

Ray watched it from inside the car. While Viona got back in the car but first approached Ray to say thank you.

"Don't thank me" Ray said as Viona opened her mouth to speak.

"Continue?" Viona asked confusedly.

"When to thank you?" Ray asked Viona.

"Until I have no more reason to thank you"

"Oh yeah, good" Ray said as he lifted his thumb, "I'm sorry, I'm so sleepy" he continued and Viona nodded.

Viona retreated, slightly away from Ray's car.

Ray lowered his car glass back.

"Come in, wait outside Vio"

"You, eehh, I mean that you've just left and I'm in" Viona explained.

Ray laughs at Viona who wavers due to a wrong answer.

"Oh yeah, do you want to be snatched here?" Ray asked, making Viona instantly round her eyes.

"No, by" said Viona and then back in her car took her inside the yard.

After making sure Viona was in a safe area, Ray turned the car to the main road home in the apartment.

Viona entered slowly in the house, her feet tote so as not to be heard by the mother.

"Congratulations" he muttered as he stroked his chest after reaching the front of his room.

"Viona!" Calling Heti's mother makes Viona shocked.

Viona held onto her chest while smilingly displaying a row of her teeth.

"Sorry mom, late to go home"

Heti's mother went to her waist, "Mama panicked, instead of going home to see her and entered the room quietly"

"Mam, it's not that I don't want to see my mom, but I'm afraid that my sleep is disturbed" Viona said, not nice to her own mother.

"Where's Vio's mom, it's nice to sleep at home while her kid's out there. Called also unanswered" Heti's mother was relieved her son had returned home, but was upset immediately after seeing Viona's behavior.

"If you think this is again, mending mama just marry so that mother can calm down" continued Heti's mother.

Instantly, Viona's bag she was holding fell on the floor. He did not expect the threat of marriage to be his mother's weapon.

"Ma, I don't love Ahmad, how to get married"

"Love can grow on its own" A casual answer from Heti's mother.

"Mama wants Viona to be happy but why be forced?" Viona asked no longer understood with her mother, she was confused until when it continued like this.

"Forced how? Mama has never agreed you are dating, but in fact courting secretly with Ahmad" explained Ms. Heti.

Viona heard it instantly silent for a moment, the lies she had done in the restaurant made it difficult to explain the truth.

"I'll decide Ahmad that"

"Vio, like you have to sleep. Istrahat" Heti's mother stopped talking early today.

Heti's mother leaves and Viona enters her room. Cleaning the body is the first option. After putting on the night cream his eyes were no longer sleepy. Scroll the contents of the phone is his choice. His fingers playing on the flat screen brought him into the Instagram application.

"Picture who is" Viona was curious about the mysterious image of Ahmad.

"Sok mysterious" he muttered again.

"But kepo anyway, I'm DM. ah" continued Viona.

Without frills ask directly to the core.

"Who's picture, it's mysterious, it's new?"

After the DM, Viona immediately left her instagram. His eyes were heavy wanting to continue sleeping in the blinds earlier.

His new eyes closed, his phone vibrated.

"Oh, just went to bed. Who the hell" he muttered as he grabbed his phone.

"Ahmad, what's a gini night phone?" Said but he raised also, "i work ah, who told disturb my sleep" continued Viona laughed wickedly, then he cleared his throat before answering Ahmad's phone.

"Assalamualaikum, what's wrong Mad?" Viona asked casually while closing her eyes.

"Wa'alaikumussalam, why DM?" Ask Ahmad again. Ahmad until home chose to check and reply to messages in incoming emails via his laptop until now.

"Oh, call just ask that. No problem answering" Fishing Viona again.

"It's not like that I mean, but just a tumben" Ahmad said his astonishment to Viona who was suddenly curious about what he posted.

"Hmm, I'll never ask you again" said Viona again.

"I don't mind, just shocked" Ahmad said again, in Ahmad's heart happy if Viona was curious about him.

"Mad, we're friends of the time he can't ask, you freak"

Instantly the smile that was engraved on the corner of the lips faded after hearing Viona who again said that they were friends.

"We're not just friends" Ahmad tried to remind Viona.

"Boongan's girlfriend too, don't you mean?"

"That's not me saying it but you alone"

"It's Mad, if you don't want to tell me who the girl is why call, disturb my pretty sleep" Annoyed Viona. Initially wanted to make Ahmad upset but in fact he was even upset.

"In the meantime" said Ahmad, he chose to close the laptop and go to bed, lay down on the phone with Viona according to him a good decision, so that he was more relaxed as well.

"What the hell is Mad?" Ask Viona again.

"Hmmm" Viona's response with her eyes was not able to open again so sleepy.

"That's you" Ahmad answered with laughter from Viona.

Breaking the sound of laughter Viona on the phone heard the sentence from her best friend, "Mad, if the picture is me, do not need to be mysterious that time too, make people curious but no problem too, anyway, great edit until I don't know if the angel is me."

Ahmad laughed across the phone to hear it, he knew the sentence of the angel must have Viona read in the caption of the picture.

"Hopefully, if not allowed friend just no problem" button Ahmad want to know what kind of reaction Viona.

"That's your best friend, but Mad I slept first huh. Sleepy-nih. Assalamualaikum" Viona hangs up the phone and sleeps.

🌺

On a clear morning, the light entered on the sidelines of Viona's curtains. He tried to adjust the light entering the room with his newly opened eyes. Collecting her life, Viona takes a clock on her bedside table.

"Hour 9"

Viona was shocked, she rubbed her eyes and looked back at the clock.

"Yes" Viona doesn't believe in her clock.

He shook off the blanket and he came down from the bed. Wash your face and go to see his mother who has been spelled eating together with a man who is not familiar in the eyes of Viona.

Fortunately the man turned his back so he did not see Viona's aura.

Viona returned to the room quickly to wear a veil and went back to those who were at the dinner table.

Viona glanced at Ahmad at a glance then took the plate for breakfast.

"Well, what time is it?" Viona asked while scooping the fried rice.

"At 10 a.m., just woke up?" ahmad answered, asking.

Viona answered without looking at Ahmad, while feeding him food in his mouth and he chewed slightly.

"Sleeping late last night"

Ahmad only responded by raising his eyebrows. From that answer there was something Ahmad did not believe.

"Oh yeah, how many hours' sleep in the boutique?"

"Mad's sleep, not sleep" Viona explained.

Heti's mother from the kitchen chimed in on his son's words.

"Vio, you girls want to fall asleep or sleep is not allowed. Good thing Ray doesn't fuck with you"

"Emang Ray can not do anything that is not good, let alone the same Vio" replied Viona, with no doubt he had defended Ray with his mother and Ahmad.

Ahmad just sighed, he did not want to extend the discussion about last night.

"Will not go to the store?" Tanya Ahmad switched the conversation.

"I happen to want to go there too" he continued and then he drank his breakfast sign was over.

"Looks not. Mama's head is dizzy, lack of sleep last night" he said.

"Oh, that's tan"

Ahmad understood very well, because he helped drive Viona home.

"Vio, not to the boutique?" Ask Heti's mother to Viona.

Viona shook her head slowly, still a bit of fear that today to the boutique alone.

"Istrahat first" Kilahnya while scooping fried rice, he looks relaxed in the eyes of people in front of him.

"Receive employees only if so" Ahmad proposed again.

Viona was interested in Ahmad's proposal, but he immediately paused it because the money from his shop was not stable.

"Not yet, maybe later" Refuse it subtly.

Ahmad tried to understand Viona's decision. He deliberately proposes to accept employees so that he does not worry about Viona's safety.

"Safe at the boutique?" Ahmad asked which made Viona stop chewing and frowned while looking at Ahmad.

"Do you know a lot of things?" Ask Viona back.

Ahmad laughed at once upon hearing the question back from Viona. He took the key and opened his phone for a moment and then he said goodbye.

"Part yourself"

That sentence, made Viona think hard. Why does Ahmad always say that sentence, since last night. What's up?.

Viona was silent for a moment before deciding to return to the room to continue her nap ritual. His body aches and his bones are like the powerless crumbs that Viona feels today.

Taking a nap, lazing in the room one of the missed activities. Comfort exists when we are in a place that is safe from danger.

"What do Ahmad's words mean?" Viona suddenly thought of Ahmad's words this morning.

"Perhaps, because I am a woman and overslept at the boutique so I was told to be careful" he continued as if he understood the meaning of Ahmad's words.

Time so quickly passed, Viona's nap hour was up. He decided to go to the afternoon boutique just to see the state of the boutique.

Dressing neatly but simply, it was Viona. Heti's mother was reading a book using glasses, she immediately lowered her glasses while asking.

"Where are you going this afternoon?"

"Butik mam, just a check will not be there long" he explained.

"Be careful then" Heti's mother told Viona before leaving.

Her mother's car, which she used, half-way through the trip, doesn't forget Viona calls Ray just to see if he's being mocked or left.

"Hello Ray, in the workshop?"

"Yes, you?"

Instantly Viona's heart was relieved to hear Ray being exasperated.

"Secure means" His mind.

"I otw boutique, by" the conversation ended.

Finally Viona today does not open a boutique, he considers a day off does not matter, because his body has the right to rest.
