My Beloved Duda
Chapter 25

Rediscovered by you....

****

Raihanah breathed in the night air, finally setting foot in Jakarta. The place he had avoided but now he had returned. Raihanah stepped up while pulling her suitcase, she stood waiting for a taxi on the side of the road. He waited ten minutes but never came. Raihanah turned her head to the right side, just as a taxi passed her way. Raihanah waved her hand making the taxi stop.

Raihanah breathed a sigh of relief, she opened the taxi passenger door and then she entered without realizing there was a man who entered the taxi and sat next to the driver.

"Ke Pondok Indah, sir" said the two men at the same time.

"Yes, please" replied the driver.

Raihanah was shocked, hearing a voice other than her. He looked ahead and found a male figure turned towards him. They looked at each other in surprise, but the man easily changed his face flat.

"You," they said along with the sound of a taxi speeding up .

"What are you doing here? I ordered this taxi first," asked Raihanah he did not expect fate would bring him to meet this man again.

"I should have said that, but yes it is our goal to debate this. Isn't that right, sir?? " the man won't lose. The man looked at the driver asking for a defense.

"Oh yes, this man is right." The driver, Ryan smiled triumphantly. Raihanah sighed she put her phone in her purse. It's already night, he doesn't want to budge with this man. He was afraid he would not get a taxi again.

"I want to go home, not if you say you want to leave my life." Reply Raihanah was upset, for whatever sake he never regretted this. Though just this morning he got a message and flowers from the man, but what now the figure was a taxi with him .

"Ah that, maybe we are a match. Moreover, our house is in the same place, isn't that Raihanah?" Ryan said he was trying to find a chance.

Raihanah was silent he did not reply to Ryan's words, because if he was more against Ryan then the more aggressively Ryan teased him, Raihanah turned her face to the car window staring at the scenery out there. Why would his house with Ryan be in the same complex? I don't like that fact.

Flickering street lights and Jakarta-style buildings that claw up to the sky become a favorite sight of Raihanah. Raihanah sighed, she never expected that fate would bring her life like this. The taxi drove by in silence only the sound of the radio accompanying them along the way. Ryan silently glanced at Raihanah through the glass and smiled at the meeting.

"Thank you" said Raihanah, looking down at the taxi window at Ryan in the taxi. The taxi stopped right in front of his house.

Raihanah thanked Ryan, because Ryan paid the fare. Though Raihanah has repeatedly refused but Ryan stubbornly will pay for it. Understand that boys self-esteem will go down if it is paid by women.

"Together," Ryan gave a small smile in reply.

"Assalamualaikum" said Raihanah to Ryan.

"Waalaikumsalam," just as Raihanah was about to leave, Ryan called her back. The man wanted to convey something that had stuck in his heart.

"Wait for Raihanah," Raihanah turned and looked at Ryan curiously. He wondered what made the man call him back. Is there anything left behind?

"What's wrong?" Raihanah asked confusedly.

"For this time I will not give up, I will take you from your Raihan and I will make you fall in love with me." after saying that Ryan smiled then raised the window of the taxi. Leaving Raihanah in contention. A taxi drove down the street leaving Raihanah in front of her house.

"I think it's God's destiny to bring us back together" Ryan said. He had made up his mind to take Raihanah. And made the girl fall in love with him.

Ridwan smiled happily to finally see his family whole again. He used to not allow Raihanah to go solo, but seeing his son's sad gaze made his heart powerless to oppose Raihanah's decision. But look now in just 6 months, his son is standing before him.

"Based on this child, it only makes parents worry" said Ridwan in his heart. Although in his heart he was happy to see Raihanah back in better condition. Not like when I left. The girl looked pale as if she was harboring sadness.

To be honest Ridwan was curious about the reason Raihanah left, it was impossible if only to be able to live independently. It must have something to do with Raihan, since Raihanah is close to Raihan, her son's attitude has become more closed. Ridwan sighed, his little daughter is already an adult she should be able to understand that. Raihanah could definitely deal with her own problems without any help from him. Ridwan must not be selfish, he must give freedom to his daughter.

Raihanah took off her arms beautifully and ran over to her father. Ridwan chuckled at the sight of his spoiled daughter running just to hug him.

"Kangen dad," whined spoiled Raihanah.

"Mother ngak in this kangenin," said Indah rubbing and pretending to be angry .

Raihanah let go of her embrace, she looked at her mother and smiled broadly. He chuckled at hearing his mother sulk like that, as well as Ridwan .

"Kangen mother is also." said Raihanah by hugging her mother tightly.

"Already, let's have a better meal. Celebrating the return of our beautiful daughter." said the mother.

"Gazy." Raihanah is happy. He misses his time with his family.

"Father who tracts," proposed Raihanah, Ridwan pouted but a second later he stroked his daughter's head dearly.

"You pick a place." Ridwan agreed.

"Hore!!!" Raihanah cheered happily at that.

"Daddy Rain wants to buy chicken noodles." Raihanah said spoiled while wrapping her hands around the father.

"Ready!!" Ridwan stroked Raihanah's head gently.

"Pake dad's money." said Raihanah.

"She said she wanted to study independently when buying chicken noodles with dad's money." Ledek Ridwan's. Then Raihanah snorted with a frown while the others laughed at Raihanah's expression.

"Dad mah.. nyebelin!!!"

"Rain is angry."

"Huhahahah."

"We're ready to go." Lovely hugging her daughter. Then they got out of the house into the car to the chicken noodle food stall near the complex.
