While driving his son home, Ray asks his assistant to look for all the information about Raihanah. So that Raihan can easily recognize the girl, even the smallest information he can know ranging from the girl's phone number to his hobbies. Ray smiled lightly reading all the information about Raihanah.

Ray loves his cell phone, he is eager to contact Raihanah but there is a sense of hesitation to contact Raihanah. But his intention was to call Raihanah, somehow he wanted to hear the girl's voice. A voice that could shake his heart.

"Hello" said Ray when his call was answered by Raihanah.

"Walaikumsalam" replied Raihanah quickly. Hearing Raihanah's words made Raihan hold back laughter because of his stupidity that did not say hello earlier.

"Assalamualaikum" Ray repeated in a soft tone.

"Moskalamic. This who? What's the need? Why did you get my number?" answer Raihanah without pause in her sentence.

"hahahahaha. "unconsciously Ray laughed at Raihanah's voice that sounded funny at the hearing.

"the base of the madman" retorted subconsciously, and hearing Raihanah's innocent words made Ray hold back his laughter.

'the days of a handsome man like me being equated with a lunatic' Ray sat in when Raihanah said he was a lunatic.

"You're so funny Raihanah, I'm not this crazy person I'm your match Raihan" said Ray casually.

Suddenly there was only a silent voice across there, making Ray worried. 'Did I say wrong?' ray said in his heart because he never heard the voice of Raihanah.

"Hello Raihanah are you still there?" ray said softly when he did not hear Raihanah's voice.

"i-yya I'm here, there's appa?" raihanah responded with a nervous sounding voice in Ray's sense of hearing.

"I'd like to take you to dinner tomorrow, would you?" Ray ventured to ask Raihanah out on a date, for some reason she would want to see the girl again. His heart was pounding waiting for Raihanah to answer.

There was a sigh right there, Ray guess Raihanah must be thinking. And it scared Ray of Raihanah turning down her date.

"Is this some kind of date?" reply Raihanah with a low voice.

"yes that is" said Ray quickly.

"Did you forget Mr Raihan? You just look at me I don't like, let alone date with you. Do not be a man on his own with a woman unless he is with her against her mahram (HR.Muslim)"

"What?" Ray was fixated on not believing Raihanah's words. For the first time a Raihan Salman Al-Fatih was rejected by a woman. With a Hadith, which he never knew if there was such a Hadith. Because during his life he knew about Islam Only 5 things about shahadah, prayer, fasting, fasting, zakat and take Hajj if you can and the main – points about Islam are never understood about what Raihanah said.

A unique girl, a girl with 1000 rules tied up in her life..

'The harder it is to get then the more I want to have it' Ray smiled inwardly.

"Walaikumsalam" Raihanah hung up her phone unilaterally without Ray being aware of her behavior, of the girl's speech.

Ray let out a heavy sigh, it was hard to get close to the girl. 'what should I do?'

"Dad" called Rakan when he saw his father's restless face beside him. They were both sleeping in Ray's room. Ray who heard the voice of his son immediately smiled and changed his facial expression to cheerful.

"Dad called who? How did you mention Raihanah's name? Walikelas Rakan's name, did you end up calling Bu Raihanah?" Ask a curious friend.

"Yes" said Ray, stroking his son's hair and taking him into his warm arms.

"Dad knows not Miss Raihanah, either. Ray wants to have a mother like Raihanah's." Raihan said with a hopeful expression to his father, Ray who heard it just smiled a little and then kissed his son's forehead.

"By the way about Miss Raihanah, I want to ask your strength, why were you able to fight in your class?" Ray switched the conversation, hearing his father's question made Rakan snort miserably.

****

The next morning, Rakan stepped slowly to endure the pain of his leg moving towards his class, Raihanah who accidentally saw Rakan was immediately worried. Raihanah hastened her footsteps towards Rakan who had difficulty walking.

"Rakan.." call Raihanah slowly, hearing Bu Raihanah's voice make your steps stop. Friend smiled to see Raihanah's mom approaching him with her worried expression.

"You're still sick, why go to school. Did your father tell you to go to school? Just watch until it's right I'll kick your ugly father's ass." Said Raihanah annoyed because Raihan let his son school in a state of pain like this.

The friend who heard Bu Raihanah's words smiled slightly, his heart warmed up. 'If this Miss Raihanah is my mother I must be very happy' thought Friend.

"No ma'am, I didn't tell Raka to go to school and I told Rakan to rest, but his friend wants to go to school, Bosen's friend at home mom" replied Friend cheerfully. Hearing Rakan's reply made Raihanah breathe a sigh of relief.

"huft.luck it's not because of your father. Try if it's your dad who told you to go to school. Surely I will kick your father's ugly ass" said Raihanah fiery, without Raihanah realize the person who became the object of the conversation is right behind his body.

"Who are you going to kick that ugly ass Raihanah?" Ask a voice behind Raihanah's back.

"Who else if not that ugly Old Man Raihan Salman Al-fatih" Raihanah replied quickly.

"So I was that ugly old man Raihanah" said the masculine voice, making Raihanah stunned because it felt familiar with the voice. A voice that has been plaguing her life lately. Raihanah turned her body slowly and at that moment their eyes immediately met. Raihanah's body trembled, her guts shrinking at the sight of the handsome man in front of her. The man was staring intently at himself as if he wanted to prey on him.

'STUPID !! ' maki Raihanah to herself in the heart, Rakan who saw the behavior of his father and mother Raihanah also laughed.

"So Raihanah what was kam-.." Ray had not had time to finish the conversation, Raihanah immediately ran away from Ray. Ray who saw Raihanah's funny behavior also laughed out loud.

"HAHAHAHAHA"

"It's funny that girl"

*****

Raihanah ran towards her room, she felt like a fool at the moment. DAMNIT DAMNIT!! Why was he not aware of that handsome man's voice. Raihanah hit her head slowly because of her stupidity earlier. And why did he say something like that. How embarrassing!!! It felt like Raihanah wanted to disappear from this world at once.

Raihanah was embarrassed, and she didn't have the courage to meet Ray anymore. Raihanah enters her room and steps up to her desk, where she will pick up a book at her desk. Raihanah was stunned to see a bouquet of pink roses neatly arranged on her desk.

"Beautiful"

"Why are there roses here? There's no feeling yet?" raihanah was curious.

He took the rose and inhaled it, the fragrant smell of the rose filled his sense of smell. Raihanah smiled happily, she wondered who gave her such a beautiful rose? Raihanah looked down at the flower, until she saw a piece of paper tucked inside.

Raihanah smiled when she found the beautiful light blue piece of paper, opened the paper and it turned out that the paper was inscribed with sweet words. Unknowingly Raihanah's cheeks met red reading the letter. Especially when he saw the name of the sender, making Raihanah's heart warmed instantly.

Dear Jodokku Afaf Raihanah

- A beautiful rose for a girl as beautiful as you J -

Your destiny

Raihan Salman Al - fatih

Raihanah smiled happily, her heart pounding so fast that somehow the man could always get her out of control. Raihanah was flattered by the sweet treatment of the man once again making Raihanah added to like Raihan Salman Al-fatih.

"Oh Allah, so it's like falling in love" Raihanah muttered while smelling the fragrant roses given by Raihan.. Subhanallah

"What should I do O Allah?" Raihanah sighed in heart.
