Because Amen is the Same
78. The Arrival of Gladis

In the morning, Gladis was already at Ray's house, not without reason he was there but all that at the request of Ray's parents.

Drinking tea together while sharing the story, filled the morning of the three of them. With the exception of Ray, he prefers to remain silent in the room to weigh out and meet Gladis.

"Tan, isn't Ra getting along with us here?" Ask Gladis.

"Biasa him, sometimes drinking tea. Especially morning like this" explained Mami Ray, "No need to think about it" He continued.

Gladis nodded in understanding with a forced and bland smile.

"Sorry Tan, Om. Gladis called this early, what's up?"

"Mommy just wants Alex to go to the workshop" said Mami Ray making Gladis face full of Ray's parents.

"Really tan?"

Gladis asked back only to make sure that what he heard was not wrong. Gladis happy face beamed hearing that sentence.

Ray's parents immediately nodded with a smile.

Gladis immediately hugged Mami Ray so happy. In the embrace Gladis uttered, "Thank you Tan"

"Yes, wake up Alex and take him to the workshop" said Mami Ray again.

"Ready Tan" Gladis replied, making these two elders instantly laugh.

Gladis passed inside the house and headed straight for Ray's room. If it's Gladis, the matter of Ray can't be postponed. The spirit of four five filled his heart.

Unlike Ray's parents, the two return to sip tea while eating cake.

"Mi, isn't this an exaggeration?" Asked Papi Ray, he was a little hesitant about his wife's decision.

"I'm sure, after this Alex gradually got used to and returned to how she used to be" Hope Mami Ray this morning, with a smile on her face imagining it all.

"But he left Alex first" Papi Ray said.

Mami Ray put her two hands together in front, "Pi, everyone can change and what I see from Gladis right now, is quite our ghost."

"Ok, if that's it"

Papi Ray handed it all over to his wife. Although, there was a sense of worry but Papi Ray tried to be sure of his wife's idea.

While Gladis was told to build Ray, without knocking on the entrance directly that happened to be the door of Ray's room was not locked.

Gladis saw Ray's room so neatly made him insecure considering his messy room.

"Cowok but the room is neat" muttered Gladis as he looked at all the corners of the room, his gaze fixed on the image pasted on the wall of the room.

"Ra from childhood you are handsome" he praised and returned around in the room.

"Oh, take a shower!" Said Gladis again alone after hearing Ray's voice in the bathroom humming.

While Ray, humming just to entertain themselves. After finishing the bath get out of the bathroom casually while drying her hair using a small towel.

Ray does not realize that in his room there is Gladis whose eyes continue to look at Ray.

Ray whistled while looking at the reflection of his face through the mirror. He looked into the eyes and immediately smiled in front of the mirror.

"Your love's fate is so unfortunate Ray" He said.

He again dried his hair, and his movements slowed down after seeing the reflection of someone through a mirror, he turned his body and was not wasted by Gladis.

Gladis immediately hugged Ray, "Ra!" Call him in that embrace.

Ray who only wore a towel immediately pushed Gladis' body slowly with a cold look.

"Oh, play hug" Ray said tightly.

"I can't, I just want to bend"

The relaxed answer from Gladis made Ray uncomfortable in the room at this time.

"Get out of my room, now" said Ray quietly with great emphasis while pointing at the door.

"Don't hear?" Ask again.

"Wear clothes first" Gladis responded again.

Gladis' sentence coincided with Mami Ray wanting to call her son breakfast before work.

"What did Alex do, so Gladis said that" muttered Mami Ray and went to see her husband in a hurry.

Papi Ray, who had been at the table eating, was shocked by his wife's shock face.

"Pi, we need to get Alex and Gladis married as soon as possible" she told her husband.

"Lho, why?"

Papi Ray was shocked to hear his wife's words. How can we talk early in the morning about marriage.

"Just Pi, as soon as they get married before Gladis gets pregnant" Mami Ray said.

"Pregnant" Papi Ray repeated in a trembling tone. He did not expect if his son did anything further while he had previously refused strictly Gladis.

Papi Ray shook his head, "No way Mi, Alex doesn't like Gladis."

"Don't like how Pi is, while Mami heard Gladis told Alex to wear clothes, according to Papi what is trying?" His wife's question made Papi Ray think hard about this.

"So Mi?"

"Later finish eating we discussed. They've come"

The conversation immediately stopped, leaving a smile on the corners of the elders' lips to welcome their children to be unsuspecting.

"Tumben's been spelled eating Mi, Pi?" Ray asked as he pulled up a chair and sat down.

Mami Ray spontaneously pointed at the chair beside her son.

Ray frowned, "what Mi?"

"Pull a chair to Gladis dong, get him"

"He's big and has hands to pull up a chair" Ray replied in a cold tone and then rubbed peanut butter on his bread.

"Married, Pi.." You were cut off directly by Mami Ray by raising one hand.

"Where do we have breakfast first"

Breakfast was ended with a glass of juice.

"Tumben there's juice this morning" Ray was astonished by the breakfast this time, a lot of weirdness going on.

"Fresh, let us be fresh in the morning" explained Mami Ray.

"Mami's up" Ray gave up and decided to drink the sign the morning breakfast was over, the sooner to the workshop the better.

"Mi, Pi, I went to the workshop first" Pamit Ray.

"Can Papi have a minute before you go?" Ask Papi Ray.

"You guys, who are you?" Inner Ray, "The fire is getting weirder this morning" he said in his heart.

Ray kept his focus on his own head until he didn't hear what his Papa said.

"How are you, Viona hasn't seen him in a long time" he said. Ray's mind breezed all the way to Viona.

"Where's Alex?" Ask Papa.

"Where is Pi?" Ask Ray back after waking up from his daydream.

"But what the hell is Ra, until Papi you're talking don't hear?" Gladis asked gently as she rubbed Ray's shoulder.

Ray turned towards Gladis with a cold look, "Keep your hands off my shoulders!"

"It looks like I have to go to the workshop now, by" Pamit Ray then left.

"Lex, Gladis wants to come" cried her Mommy.

"Alex hastily Mi" Refuse it subtly without stopping the way.

"Quick, follow Alex" asked Mami Ray to Gladis.

"Well Tan, by" Pamit Gladis waved her hand.

🌺

Viona this morning, somehow her body feels like hot and sore. Just move lazily. He forced himself out of bed to the bathroom, washing his last choice of face. After getting ready as usual breakfast with his mother then to the boutique.

Up to the boutique, he sat down while moving his shoulders, kneading his arches and calves.

"Fever like this" he muttered alone, because he felt his eyes suddenly hot and breathing was now emitting steam plus his nose suddenly watering.

"Oh, flu again" Grumbled inside.

"Which issue?"

Viona looks for tissue in her desk drawer can't, the rest of the plastic.

"Out again" he said and sat down again.

"Who is here to help, Ray is busy and so is Ahmad. Can't be the same Ahmad" he said while shaking his head.

"Can't" he said as he tried to implant the phrase in his brain.

Unlike Ahmad who is in the restaurant, but his mind continues to remember Viona.

"Is Viona any danger yes, I don't feel good" said Ahmad.

He gets up to pick up the car keys to check Viona's situation at the boutique, but instantly remembers their last meeting which was so disappointing. Sighs rough breaths and sits back down. He grabbed his flat object that was on the table and called.

"To Viona's boutique today, accompany her home" she said on the phone.

"Yes, if there's anything tell me" Ahmad said again on the phone and then he turned off the phone.

"Vio, why don't you accept my proposal? So that I can take care of you 24 hours" muttered Ahmad who was full of worry about the state of Viona.

Ahmad opened his cell phone gallery, looking at old photos of the two of them. A smile etched sweetly on the corner of Ahmad's lips.

"To this day my heart has not yet been obtained" He said.

Instantly Ahmad recalls his High School days with Viona. At that time Ahmad and Viona to the beach right home scolded by his mother Viona because they went not permission first.

"Mad, you want permission first, the first lady is angry!" Said Viona upset to Ahmad at this time.

"Yes, sorry mermaid master" His reply back then.

"Mermaid" he said. The sentence was again ringing in Ahmad's ear.

While at the boutique, Viona is so happy with Ina's arrival, her excitement is not playing until she runs off to hug Ina.

"Geez Na, why did it just come?" Viona asked with a pouting face after taking off her embrace.

"Sit Na" Take Viona.

He sat next to Ina with his big smile making Ina amazed by his behavior.

"You sick?, your hand is warm" Ina said, she could feel because Viona's hand was on her hand.

"Do not know, maybe the weather" Reply Viona, "ehh, dong's story has been anywhere, not showing up" he said enthusiastically.

"Wait a minute" Ina said as she got up from her seat.

"Why again?" Viona asked, As Ina stood up.

"Sit down" Ina ordered while pointing at the seat where they were sitting.

"Bandel really" continued this while away from Viona with a phone that has been attached to the ear.

"Hello, Viona flu and fever" he reported.

"Ok, I send medicine with food" replied someone across the phone.

"Ok, Assalamualaikum" Ina said and then disconnected the phone after her greeting was answered.
