Because Amen is the Same
97. Ray's parents arrive at the boutique

1 month later

Everything went as usual, with no one bothering Viona. His business was back as crowded as ever. Boutique that once rival Viona is now rumored to change hands and until now he does not know who the original owner.

Ever since Ray got married, he's focused on keeping the boutique. Strangers who often bother him instantly disappear like swallowed by the earth. So quiet is Viona's life right now. But not with his heart, he is sometimes moody when at first glance remembering Ray.

Viona's breathing is so heavy, it's been a whole month Ray married but he can't forget Ray completely. Sometimes he wants to be selfish to take Ray from Gladis.

Evil?, yes indeed evil, seizing what is not his. But it wasn't Gladis who took Ray away from him, even though they didn't have a clear status but Ray always said that someday he would reapply, until accepted by the family.

His mind always turned to Ray and Ray, he deliberately went to the boutique from morning until night to busy himself.

"Aahhaa" Viona let out a frustrated breath, "It's hard as well" she muttered.

Customers returned, some came just take orders, sometimes also use couriers. Since Viona sold online, orders have been increasing.

Overwhelmed serving the buyer thus making himself open a job vacancy in his boutique.

"My mother came to take orders on behalf of Ati's mother" said the courier.

"Bua Ati, wait, I check first" Viona then saw one by one the package that has been wrapped and the name listed is wrapped in the package.

"Gamis two, veil three. On behalf of Ati's mother" Viona reads Ati's mother's order.

"Yes" he replies and Viona gives the package, then Viona informs Ati's mother that the package has been picked up.

Bu Ati package is the last package for today. He deliberately limited the time to pick up goods only until 4 pm.

"This is because no one needs work now, posts need employees no one to comment let one person" said Viona alone in her button while looking at her cellphone screen.

Lockers in his shop not only he paste outside the boutique but social media as well, with the aim of immediately getting employees to help him pack the goods.

The post arrived on the Instagram pages of Ahmad and Ray.

"Viona needs employees" said Batin Ahmad after reading the announcement.

Unlike Ray, after seeing the locker info immediately took his jacket and motorcycle key. Gladis who saw that immediately asked.

"Ra, where are you going?"

"Get out" replied Ray and left.

"Iihh" Gladis was upset with Ray's response, "just watch out when you meet Viona" he said in a soft tone.

To calm down Gladis chose to sit on the balcony while looking at the view outside the house from above.

His feelings were not calm, he was always Ray's mind. Pacing around the balcony thinking of a way to find out where Ray went without him getting out of the house.

"Main beautiful can" his inner self while composing his cellphone.

"Hello, you know my husband, follow him" he said on the phone

"Bos sent me the picture, afraid we're wrong" asked the person on the phone.

"Stupid, yes I send now" said Gladis then turned off the phone and sent a picture of Ray to his men.

Back Gladis' men in action, Gladis' men scatter to find Ray's whereabouts.

10 Minutes later, Gladis' phone came back to sound. He saw a message coming in from his men, he immediately opened it. Instantly his hunting breath held back his emotions and threw his phone on the floor.

The sound of the throw was heard in Ray's parents' room. They were shocked, until they left the room.

"Pi, what did that sound like?"

"We check, the sound is from above" replied Papi Ray.

The two headed for the second floor, only up above had heard Gladis's crying voice.

"Pi, Gladis is crying" said Mami Ray, then walked quickly to her son's room.

"Gladis open the door, why are you?" Ask Mami Ray behind the door.

There was no reply from Gladis, making Mami Ray panic.

"Pi, break down the door" Pinta Mami Ray. He is panicking now.

"Open first, if the new lock is broken" explained Papi Ray.

Mami Ray immediately held the doorknob and pushed the door and it turned out that the door was not locked. Entering the room and not finding Gladis but his sobs were clearly heard in his in-laws' ears.

"Balcony, Pi" Mami Ray said and stepped onto the balcony. And sure enough Gladis cried with a position sitting on the floor.

Mami Ray immediately walked over to Gladis.

"Why are you?, try telling Mami" she asked while stroking Gladis' back.

"Mi, let's go to the room to make it good" Timpal Papi Ray.

"Mi, Ra" Gladis said, puzzling her in-laws.

"Ra meets Viona" the sentence escapes from Gladis making both of Ray's parents angry.

"I was against my father for me to be with Ra, but Ra met Viona again. I'm scared, Mi" Adu Gladis.

"When that?" Mami Ray asked with emotion, "Mommy will go find it now" he said.

"Mi, we don't know where Alex is now, the city is vast" Papi Ray reminded his wife.

"That's exactly what Mommy is looking for. Women are always the problem."

Hearing that sentence, Gladis smiled inwardly. Happy is not playing. Gladis got up from his seat and grabbed his cracked phone at the corner of the balcony of their room.

"Take care of yourself, Mami and Papi are looking for Alex" Ray's parents told Gladis.

"Remove your tears" He continued expressionlessly.

Gladis's in-laws turned around to leave the balcony.

"Can't Gladis come?" Ask carefully.

"May but only limited to the car, it's late afternoon" explained Mami Ray.

"Yes, Mi" replied Gladis.

Her in-laws left the balcony and Gladis cleaned her face with a face wash and put a little lipstick and powder so as not to look pale.

Ray's parents' car is parked in Viona's car, after a long search. Gladis deliberately told his in-laws to stop by at Ray's workshop. Because from there they must have passed by Viona.

"True Alex's motorbike is here, Mami was not mistaken" said Mami Ray after getting off the car followed by Papi Ray.

Gladis smiled winning in the car, while rubbing his stomach that had begun to notice.

"We will win baby" muttered Gladis single-handedly with his evil smile.

Gladis was monitoring through the mobi glass, curious about what was happening.

While Mami Ray has entered the boutique and the first sight she sees is Ray and Viona sitting opposite while having a conversation. Anger controlled himself, stepping quickly towards the two.

"Good yes, calling people's husbands to come here" he said to the point with a sharp look.

Viona and Ray immediately stood up from their seats. Ray came straight to his mom.

"Mi, why are you suddenly so angry?" Ask.

"Shut up" he answered his son, then pointed to Viona, "what boy am I?" He asked Viona a question.

"I mean?, I don't understand ma'am" replied Viona.

"You don't pretend you don't understand, it turns out I've been misjudging you. It's true people say, we shouldn't be fooled by the cover."

"Mommy" Call Ray slowly.

Mami Ray turned to her son, "Home home your wife is pregnant, you're looking at this woman."

Viona could not stem the tears of hearing Mami Ray's insults. Her tears fell and quickly wiped them off. He remembered the sentence Ahmad, if people have dropped your pride then the opponent.

Viona takes a step forward to get closer to Ray and Ray's parents. Before answering he glanced at Ray for a moment then looked at Mami Ray.

"Mother if you don't know anything don't just accuse me, I have the power to kick mom out of here" Viona said with a cold look, then saw Ray, "if you want to get out, please, the same permission of your parents and your wife at home so that they do not come from my slander like this" he continued.

Ray looked at Viona's gaze as soon as it was hard to swallow. Viona was like a tiger ready to pounce on anyone if she was not in control.

"I'm sorry, Viona" Ray said quietly.

Viona smiled meaningfully, "Remember ya, I didn't ask you to come here and greet your wife if you want to find information come to the source."

"Yes, I'll remind you" Ray replied again.

"Good, be a responsible husband. Time only dare to pregnant her child nasehatin people can not" said Viona made Ray silent for a moment.

"You want to humiliate my family, to cover up your mistakes" Mami Ray said, applauding, "great you" he continued.

Viona immediately beristighfar then smiled at Mami Ray. His smile depicted the emotion within him and made Ray shudder in horror at seeing him, only this time Ray saw Viona like that. The soft side from within Viona disappeared instantly.

"Please get out of my boutique" Expel Viona, then raise her index finger at Ray, "You, don't ever come here again" he said.

"I also do not want to stay here for long, afraid of contracting especially not going to have grandchildren for long" he said condescendingly, "may be married so that the man is clear" he continued.

Viona squeezes her robe venting her emotions. He was eager to answer Mami Ray's last language but he realized if he served it then the debate would not be finished.

Because Ray's parents came to be blinded already dark and there was a debate so it did not feel a few minutes into the magrib prayer time.

Ray and his parents go home and Viona hastily goes to fetch water while Istighfar in heart.
