Bougenville of Love
84 - Raffa's Brother and Sister-in-law Candidate.

Not wanting the guests to be awkward, Damia and the mother rushed to bring drinks after making them in the kitchen. Rita's mother also brought and served snacks from the parcel brought by Raffa which turned out to contain Damia's favorite pandan steamed sponge.

Sure enough, when Damia and Mother Rita head to the living room, both the guests and Father Dodi are still silent and awkward towards each other.

"Lho, how come you're still on dumb ass? Why just shut up?" ask Rita's mother

"Maybe because the table's still empty, huh? Well ... then, enjoy yourself," Damia said

"This is also the cake directly presented. It's okay, isn't it, Raffa?" ask Rita's mother

"Yes, Aunt. No problem" answered Raffa

"Thank you" said Om Herman and Aunt Risma at the same time as they served them snacks and drinks on the table.

What an unusual blend, a snack treat that is a favorite of Damia and a drink of honey tea which is a favorite of Aunt Risma aka Mama from Raffa.

To eliminate the awkwardness and unseen tension, the guests began to sip the drinks that had been served. Instantly, Aunt Risma did not think that Damia still memorized and cared about what she liked. Knowing the problems of the child and the beautiful girl who was kind, Aunt Risma became guilty and not happy.

"Actually our intention of asking to meet and come here is to want to discuss the problems that occurred between Raffa and Damia" said Om Herman

"I think Damia and Raffa are both adults. They both can take and choose good and right decisions, so let them solve their own problems" said Dodi's father

"I'm sorry to have made the decision without telling Auntie and Om, but again I'm sorry because I couldn't change that decision" Damia said

After the princess spoke, Rita's mother who was beside her daughter immediately embraced and grabbed Damia in her arms. It was as if Mother Rita was calming down the princess who had hurt her heart. Though the reality is that Mother Rita is trying to calm herself under the pretext of hugging the princess because she is holding back emotions not to say sharply to guests who should be respected.

Rita's mother had already restrained and silenced her own mouth not to say, "Damia, you are not wrong. What are you apologizing for? There should be someone here who is more aware and knows to apologize to you first." However, Ibu Rita did not say spicy words that could offend it.

"Why did you say sorry, Damia? You're not wrong. Om was very surprised when Raffa said he wanted to get married, but you were not the woman he wanted to marry. It is we who should apologize. We are here to apologize sincerely" said Om Herman

"really. After knowing the true story of Raffa we feel bad, " said Aunt Risma

"I should be the one apologizing to you, Damia. I'm sorry," said Raffa

"Everything that happened wasn't really your fault either, Raffa. Sorry, Auntie, Om.. actually until the end of our relationship I did not have the same feeling Raffa," Damia said

"It may even be our fault. From the beginning of meeting Damia, we've been very fond of Damia. Until we really wanted to even continue to ask Mr. Dodi and Bu Rita to match you with Raffa, what else turned out that time Raffa also liked you. Maybe our wishes are so burdensome that they seem pushy, both on Damia or Pak Dodi and Bu Rita. Until we feel very happy when Damia receives this matchmaking without knowing or caring about how you feel," said Om Herman

"Of all that Raffa has done, we as parents apologize for the mistakes made by our son. With the greatest apology, we hope Damia and Mr. Dodi as well as Bu Rita can forgive Raffa" said Aunt Risma

"Regardless of what happened, I won't mind it and just let it go" Damia said

"Because Damia has said that, we as her parents will not be concerned about this," said Dodi's father

Rita's mother just nodded small. From the beginning Ibu Rita was very trying to be patient.

"Thank you for accepting our mistakes and forgiving us, especially our son. Although the match between Raffa and Damia has been canceled and their fight has also been broken, we hope that the friendship and brotherhood between us remain established" said Om Herman

"of course. The problem is clear and well resolved. There will be no enmity between us" Dodi's father said

"Thank you, Damia, Om, Auntie .. Thank you so much for forgiving me" Raffa said

Damia just gave a small nod with a smile, as did Father Dodi and Mother Rita.

"Actually that's all we want to talk about. Once everything is done and clear, we think we have had enough. Because it's time for us to say goodbye" said Om Herman

"Why is that such a hurry, Om? The drinks haven't run out yet, the cake is still there, too" Damia said

"We have to go home. We will not interfere with the break time Damia, and Mr. Dodi, as well as Ms. Rita again ." said Aunt Risma.

"Once again I apologize for my mistakes and also for interrupting the break time Damia, Om, and Auntie. Then, also thank you very much for forgiving me and the time tonight" said Raffa

Raffa and his parents got up from their seats, prepared, and said goodbye to go home.

"If it's time, I hope you're willing to attend my wedding, Damia. Then, today you look beautiful as usual, but I rarely see you dress up like today. I'm happy to see it" Raffa said

"Yes, because I ran into someone before you and Auntie and Om came, too" Damia said

"So, apparently .." said Raffa

"I guess Damia dressed up like never because she knew I wanted to come, I was so happy, apparently I was just kege'eran because Damia dressed up not because of me. What he's meeting is definitely his new girlfriend, "inner Raffa

After the guests say goodbye, they leave Damia's house.

"Raffa is nothing, heh .. has hurt your heart by cheating, but still hope you want to be present at her wedding. As shameless," dumel Rita's mother

"That's it, she still thinks you're beautiful and beautiful to her! So confident of him! After all, she might know that you're putting on makeup. If she doesn't say that, Mom and Dad just don't realize that you're wearing makeup" Rita's mother said

"Again, why are you putting on makeup when she comes, Damia? How not as usual?" ask Rita's mother to continue.

"Since I came home after going with Angga until before Raffa came, I just wiped the sweat without reducing or adding makeup. I think I'd like to remove this makeup later. I also did not expect that Raffa would be aware even though it was only thin makeup," Damia continued

"Here you go, ma'am .. don't rent to get angry like that. Even though there was a guest, Mother was silent," said Dad Dodi

"Actually I was upset, but I held her back ."." said Rita's mother.

..."I didn't even think that Raffa was aware of my makeup, but Mom and Dad just didn't realize it until before he said it. Though this is just thin natural makeup," Damia's inner...

..."Today they came to apologize in such a way, the expression of Aunt Risma when apologizing earlier was also a bit excessive. Must be thinking about Raffa's sister, Verra. They want me to forgive Raffa's cheating so that no karma will happen to Verra, so that Verra does not experience being cheated on by her boyfriend or fiance someday." Damia continued to speak inwardly....

A few months later.

Raffa's sister, Verra, finally returns home from college outside the city while on vacation. Coinciding with his return day is the day of a family meeting between Raffa and the woman who wants to marry him.

Verra was very happy. The girl immediately prepared before the arrival of the guest, the future wife of the brother.

Previously Raffa and both parents had had a family meeting at the house of the future wife, aka Lisa's house. Now it changes, it's time for Lisa and her family to come to Raffa's house.

As soon as the guest arrived, Verra who was still preparing in the room rushed outside from inside her room.

"Finally, Brother Damia, come too .. I'm so happy!" exclaim Verra with excitement.

Verra was instantly dumbfounded when she saw that there was no figure whose name was called by her. Apparently, Raffa's younger sister did not know that her sister had broken up and did not want to marry Damia, but with another woman who was not even known by her and had never seen her face at all.

"Ups .. sorry," said Verra as if to regret her inappropriately stirring.

At that time Raffa also pulled the sister to a little away, while the mother and papa welcomed the arrival of the guests.

"Verra, you're saying a little dong. The girl should know manners," Raffa reprimanded

"Yes, sorry, Brother. Anyway, who's coming? He said, do you want a two-family meeting? Why isn't Damia's sister coming? Om Dodi and Aunt Rita don't exist either?" ask Verra, Raffa's sister.

"Nothing I know of the guest I saw just now. Or ... don't tell me, Raffa didn't want to marry Damia's sister? How come? Then, Whose sister Raffa wants to marry?" ask Verra again.

"Sister and sister Damia have broken up. After this you will also know who your sister-in-law would be" Raffa replied

"Connect .. How can you, since when? How come I don't know? Why didn't anyone tell me?" ask Verra

"Already, Verra. Don't screw. You better come meet the guests who come and just be quiet," said Raffa

"But, Sister .. I don't even know who Sister's future wife is. What's more, I haven't told you that I agree to marry another woman other than Damia's sister" Verra said

Not wanting to feel dizzy with the babble of the sister who filed a protest, Raffa also immediately pulled Verra to join the guests.

Vera snorted in annoyance as she was pulled over by the older brother to meet the guests who had come over who were not even recognized by him. Because nothing was known to him, Verra was just silent like a statue sitting quietly. His face was also very flat.

"I heard clearly that Raffa's sister mentioned Damia. Didn't Raffa tell her sister that she broke up with Damia Lake to marry me. What's more, it looks like Raffa's sister doesn't like me. It also seems that it will be difficult to get a taste of her sister's liking, "the inner Lisa

After the two families talk a lot, there is finally time and opportunity for Raffa to just be with Lisa in the backyard.

"Lisa, please forgive and understand the nature of my sister, yes. You're not angry, are you?" ask Raffa

"Raff, you still haven't bilsng if you've broken up with Damia and want to marry me to your sister, huh? Why?" ask Lisa

"Sorry, Lis. All this time Verra was in college outside the city, there was no chance to tell her because my mom and I didn't want to interrupt my sister's lecture. Verra is on vacation from college, but she says she'll be home next week. I didn't know he was coming home today. Today it all felt sudden for me and my sister" Raffa explained

After being persuaded, Lisa finally wanted and could accept the reason from Raffa. Raffa calls Verra to meet Lisa face-to-face.

"Hello, I'm Lisa, Raffa's girlfriend. You're Raffa's sister, right? Hello," said Lisa

"Hello, Brother. My name is Verra. Greetings .. "sahut Verra still with a flat facial expression.

"It seems like it's really going to be hard to get the liking of her sister Raffa," Lisa's inner self

"It looks like Verra doesn't like Lisa very much. It's going to be very difficult" Raffa's inner

"I really don't like Kak Raffa's new boyfriend. I don't know him. Actually, why did Raffa break up with Damia, anyway? Though I was very happy when I came home and when my mother said she wanted a family of sister-in-law candidates to come. Free and futile, I feel happy first if it turns out that who came and who will marry Sis Raffa is not sister Damia. What does Raffa see and love about his new girlfriend? Though I think it's still better and prettier, Damia. Though I was very familiar and fit with Damia. Raffa's sister also fits better with Damia. Anyway Damia's sister-in-law candidate dream number one," Inner Verra

They also chatted with each other, Lisa even invited her three sisters to chat together. Of course, the atmosphere still felt awkward. Especially with Verra who was indifferent as if very showing her dislike towards the future sister-in-law and her siblings.
