“Who's married, Ay?” raka asked as Ayu offered her an invitation.

“Marriage invitation Ayu, Mas.” Ayu replied and smiled.

Raka's world instantly turned dark hearing the answer from Ayu's tiny lips. Slowly he opened and read the invitation to make sure again, whether all this is real and not a joke.

His eyes read every word printed on the paper and stopped on the two names of the bride who will hold the wedding, there clearly stated the name of Ayu and her future husband.

And Raka knew the man, he was Raka's representative when he was the BEM chairman during his college days.

Raka really did not expect, it turned out that this was not a dream. He was too late. Now his Ayu had already been betrothed by another man.

Although his heart felt like it was squeezed, but he tried to show an ordinary face. As if that was a normal thing.

“Just Mas Raka should come, yes. I will be angry if Mas Raka does not come to my wedding, if that's why I'm sorry first, Mas. There are still many reports that I have to finish now before tomorrow's monthly meeting.” After saying that, Ayu stepped out of Raka's room.

While the man was still unmoved without saying a single word, even when Ayu died his room after giving the invitation.

Raka just looked at the wedding invitation with a chaotic mind.

He nodded feeling frustrated. Maybe he is not a soul mate.

“Congratulations yes, Ay. Hope you're happy, maybe I can't come to your wedding, Ay. My heart may not be able to see you with other men in the guarantee later,” he said in a soft voice.

Raka then looked at the ceiling of her room.

He recalled the first time he met Ayu, Raihan—, his best friend– who introduced them, during Widi's birthday party. Raihan's ex-girlfriend.

Since that day Raka could not forget their brief encounter. In fact, when Ayu graduated and applied for a job at his family-owned company, Raka was so happy and immediately accepted Ayu as his assistant. Evidently, Ayu is indeed deft and reliable in carrying out his duties.

His attitude that is cheap smile, friendly and graceful and kind to anyone makes Ayu liked by everyone in his place of work, including Raka who is known to be quiet and his feet attitude towards others.

With Ayu at his side, the days of being Raka were very colorful. There were only things that made her smile cheerfully as soon as Ayu spoke to her. Ayu also seemed to be an intermediary for other employees who were very hesitant to Raka, because of her silence.

He and Ayu not only met in his office, but every visit to Raihan's house. Raka was always looking for an opportunity to spend her time with the woman.

Although Raka is known to be quiet because she rarely speaks, but when she was with Ayu she always never ran out of topics to discuss. In fact, the woman managed to make him laugh freely when Ayu made a joke.

His own mother, even Raihan was made to wonder at the scenery that they thought was rare.

Even they had thought, if he ate something wrong or accused Ayu of using pellet science. Of course it was just a joke thrown at Raka by her mother and Raihan.

But now, those colored days had turned completely black. His heart broke hearing the woman he loved was about to marry another man. Raka was late, really too late.

“Now I have to how, Ay? I really don't know what to do.” Raka said in a desperate tone.

...***...

These few days Raka's mood was gloomy, after getting the wedding invitation. Feet that are usually so eager to step to get to his office immediately, now feel like heavy if invited to move.

He used to be so impatient every night before and hoped that morning would soon arrive, because Raka wanted to meet with the woman of his heart. Very different from the current situation.

Lia—unya Raka– is very worried to see the drastic change of the son alone puppet. He did not know what caused the child to be as if he had no soul in his body, lately his son seemed to be daydreaming with a blank look.

Lia can also see eye bags that are clearly visible under her son's eyes, while eating no more than two to three spoons. Even sometimes the food ends up in the trash, because Raka just stirred up without eating it at all.

These few days his son was more silent in his room. Not working, as usual.

Until a few minutes passed, Lia found the answer to all her son's behavior. A letter of invitation. Wedding invitations bearing the name of the woman so loved by her son.

Lia took a deep breath. Then knock on the door of Raka's room.

“Raka, Mommy can enter?”

Silent. There's no answer.

Slowly Lia opened the door of Raka's room. Just like yesterday, Raka just sat quietly in front of the window of her room.

Lia touched Raka's shoulder. Raka woke up from her daydream and immediately hugged the mother's body tightly.

“Raka late, Bund.” he said in a soft voice, “I'm really a cowardly man, yes Bund?”

“Ssttt. Mommy knows you're a great guy, and really good. If indeed later he is right your soul mate will definitely come back again. Mommy knows you are sad, but do you also not like Mother who has prepared food but touched it just a little, or even not touched at all.”

“Maafin Raka yes, Bund.”

After saying that she hugged her mother tightly. Ms. Lia started rubbing Raka's shoulders,

“Yes, I'm sorry, but now you eat first yes.”

Raka just nodded slowly.

“Honestly I myself do not like her future husband Ayu,” said Raihan with a serious face mimic.

Unlike earlier, now the man's jaw looks hardened.

Hearing that it was thrown from Raihan's mouth, Raka turned her face towards her best friend.

“Indeed why not like it? Is that guy a playboy or a rough guy?” asked Raka curiously. Because he knows, if Raihan's assessment never misses.

Raihan shook his head, then sighed.

“Gue is less comfortable with his parents, especially his mother. My hunch says, if the future mother-in-law will be the source of everything not to wear when Ayu and her future husband married later. While the prospective husband was seen once, if the type of man who is more inclined towards his mother,” she said by looking straight ahead.

Raka smiled wryly hearing the answer that was thrown from Raihan's mouth.

“We both pray, may Ayu be happy while living her domestic life later.”

“Gue please also so.”

After saying that the two were both speechless looking straight ahead and immersed in their respective thoughts.
