Because Amen is the Same
76. Code for Viona

"Load communication" Ray said again on the phone, however, no guy likes it if the person he loves is close to another guy.

"Laah, he's my best friend, that can't be Ray" Viona refused casually.

"No way, there are no men and women friends"

"Me and Ahmad"

"If it is a friend!. Why did he accept the match?, Why not refuse to make it easier and me.." The sentence he did not continue.

"Why?" Viona asked curiously, she felt that there was something Ray was hiding.

"Forget it, I just wanted to say that I'm serious about you, not messing around. It was not I who arrived late but Ahmad who entered without permission. And that I won't accept" Ray insisted while Viona was silent.

"I understand Ray"

"Hopefully, by Vio. I went home first, called Mami and Papi" Pamit Ray.

"Yes, greetings to them. Careful"

Communication is completed, Viona and Ray return to their respective activities.

Ray took his motorbike to the Manulang residence. He was greeted by people taking care of his home.

"Mommy and Papi are inside?" Ray asked as standard by the side of the bike.

"Yes, please come in, sir" he replied.

Ray entered the house while whistling. Keep the helmet first and then he searches for the whereabouts of his parents.

"Oh more food!" Ray said and joined the dining table.

"Many foods" continued Ray again to be confused about which one to eat.

Mami Ray smiles at the words of her only child.

"Mommy deliberately cooks a lot" said Mami with a smile, spoon in her hand made a tool to point food, "eat!" Further.

"OKs.. Alex ate yes, Mami ter the best cuisine anyway" Praised Ray while raising his thumb, "A full full course delicious" He said and then feed the food in his mouth.

Ray in enjoying his food, suddenly his hand stroked Ray's back.

Papi Ray saw that momentarily stopped his eating activities, he did not like there with Gladis's behavior so bold.

Papi Ray's cold expressionless gaze to Gladis made the empress shrink. Gladis took a sitting position next to Ray.

"Ra, don't wait for me anyway" she protested in a spoiled tone.

Mami Ray, who really wants Ray and Gladis back together, had fun seeing that.

"I'm sorry Alex yes, she seemed too hungry earlier" Mami Ray explained gently.

"Oh, no problem Tan. Here's how I'm happy" said Gladis again with a friendly smile.

Back eating like a family, Mami Ray and Gladis ate while sharing stories. Unlike Ray and his Papi, both choose to finish their food without making a sound.

"Mi, Alex to my room" Pamit Ray.

Mami and her Papi immediately nodded in agreement. Gladis hears Ray rise from his chair and follows Ray.

"May I come with you no Ra?"

Ray glanced back at the front, "What do you think of in a boys' room?, you're a girl and I'm a boy, not good as it sounds"

Mami Ray got up from her seat, she did not want her plan to fail to unite the two.

"That Gladis means, just drive it to the front door of the room"

Papi Ray heard that, directly looking at his wife. A sentence that he did not want to hear from his wife but came out also today.

"Alex is an adult and this is his home, so it's impossible to forget his room" Papi Ray said, "ekhem.. Lex, you can come with Papi for a second" he continued and left the dining table.

Ray immediately followed behind his Papi without asking, because he thought this was better than followed by Gladis.

"Tan" Call Gladis as if asking for an explanation.

"Wait a minute, just talk business" Mami Ray calmed Gladis down.

Gladis nodded in understanding, he acted like a submissive child with old and meek parents.

"Tan, there's another photo. Not intended to vilify others but aunt wants to have a good daughter-in-law right and definitely pay attention to her behavior outside the house" Obviously Gladis makes Mami Ray more like Gladis.

"Right, Mami wants to see" asked Mami Ray.

Gladis again showed a photo of Gebi's shots before Edwan was battered by Tono and Iwan.

"Oh, hold the waist. Doesn't Viona care like this?" Ask Mami Ray.

"There's more Tan" Gladis said.

Then Gladis shifted the photo using his finger and there was a clear picture of Viona given flowers and his hand was grabbed by Edwan.

Mami Ray immediately shut her mouth, "Oh my good"

"Well, isn't Tan?" Asked Gladis again, he kept warming up Mami Ray.

Still showing a picture of Viona with Edwan, when a message from Edwan entered.

"Sorry Tan, I think I should go home. There's a guest at home" Kilah Gladis.

"Oh, come here sometime"

"Ready Tan" Gladis replied and left while calling Edwan.

The night before, Ray does not return to the apartment. He chose to sleep at home with his parents. Ray and his Papa drink coffee while sharing a story. It is not felt that their story reaches the future of Ray about the couple.

"Lex, is a gladis as brave as a man?" Ask Papi Ray. Remembering the lunch incident.

"It wasn't like Pi, but somehow it's changed. Not the Gladis I used to know" Ray said as he sipped his coffee.

Papi exhales violently and drinks his coffee.

"But Mami really likes it!"

Ray keeps his coffee on the table, "Is there not the slightest place for Viona in Papi and Mami's heart?" He asked while facing his Papa. This time Ray asked seriously.

"We love Pi, but." he continued and paused for a moment, saying his and Viona's differences were very hard for him, though he had to admit, "but the differences that hampered everything."

"You know, why do we have to continue Lex?. It'll only torture you boys" Papi Ray's response was so gentle.

"But just don't want you to go far but you're ultimately separated, and your differences aren't a factor of age or social status but of faith"

"Love is not wrong son, wrong is the person who responds to it. Many people who think that love must be with the person they love, so desperately struggle without thinking whether it can be together or not?"

"And remember one thing, son. Peak loves, when our loved ones are happy even though they are not with us" Papi Ray said.

That last sentence made Ray silent and lowered his head. So tough is the test of his love. His mind was suddenly dead-end. The two were silent for a long time until the Papi spoke again.

"Bapies have felt that way, son, and that's very difficult. But, after Papi meets Mami, Papi can forget everything and be as happy as you see him today. I hope you can too"

"How's Pi?" Ray no longer knew what to ask.

"Think, accept Gladis" Papi Ray said, making Ray look at his Papi's face full of disbelief.

"Pi, kidding, right?"

Hope it's just a prank of her Papa tonight. Ray develops a smile to tease the Papi.

"Pi?" Call Ray.

"But not kidding Lex" The answer made Ray rise from his chair.

Ray shook his head in disappointment at his Papa, raised his coffee glass and left.

"Pi, I went in the room first" She then stepped away, just a few steps she decided to stop, "Pi, Alex loves Viona so much" He continued and left.

He didn't want to argue with his Papi, it was all free.

From a fairly close distance Mami Ray heard all the talk between the child and the father, he did not want to disturb the familiarity of the two. After seeing Ray leave, he immediately approached the husband.

"Why Pi?" Mami Ray asked as if she knew nothing.

"Ray loves Viona so much."

"Mommy disagrees, Viona is not a good woman, does not fit in with Alex, Pi" Mami Ray said. He recalled the photos Gladis had shown earlier this afternoon.

"Mi, it's not good to think like that" Papi Ray reminded his wife, "Love's Ray's time to think" he continued.

"Can't Pi, Gladis would love to marry Alex."

"Gladis doesn't fit in with Alex, Mi. Don't make your son hurt a second time" Pinta Papi Ray.

"Sure Pi, Gladis is able to make Alex forget Viona" explained Mami Ray.

Papi Ray looked at his wife's smell, how could he be more concerned with other people than his own child's feelings.

"I don't think I'm the same as your mind Mi" he said and left his own wife.

"Well, where's the fault?" Mami Ray spoke alone and followed her husband.

It's so different from Viona. He was on the phone with his brothers, they were doing a video call.

"Aunty's dinner is big, aren't you the same as Aunt Viona?" Fishing Viona to the two pounders.

Ainun who had grown up and used to be with her aunt immediately expressed her longing.

"Auntie, Ainun misses both aunt and grandmother" he said.

"Aaaa, aunt moved. Hugs away from auntie" Viona said as she spread her hand out in front of the camera.

"If Hamzah?" Viona asked turned to the most bontot ponakan at the moment.

Because Hamzah is not yet smart to speak then who represents his mother, Marcellea imitates the style of a child.

"Hamzah misses you, aunt" he replied.

"I'm lonely knowing that I'm home alone with my mom" Viona gives off her feelings for her sisters.

"Married the deck, so that there would be friends" said Yesi. And soon Ainun appeared in front of the screen again.

"Therefore Viona's aunt had a baby too" Her ideal made the listener laugh except for Viona herself. He even pursed his lips.

"Sok know your son brother" Brief answer from Viona, this time the mood was immediately damaged because of the bangkan.

"Hamzah is also waiting for Viona's aunt's sister" Timpal Marcellea made Viona stare lazily this time.

"Why is tonight so annoying, my heart was suddenly not in that mood" he said.

"Many istighfar deck" Messages Yesi,

"Yes, listen to you already have a boutique, congratulations" Timpal Marcellea.

"Thank you, my brothers, waiting at home. Assalamualaikum" Viona said and then turned off the video call connection.
