The Destiny of Love You Choose
Chapters. 64. The Unusual Tongue.
After agreeing to Ryder's invitation, Yara re-enters the house and joins the others. It seems everyone is still chatting ria, even though the night is getting late. Even Yumi had already closed her eyes on the fur carpet.
At exactly 11 p.m., Yara and the rest of the family decided to go home. Ryder and her parents drove them to the front yard, and thanked them for being willing to meet their dinner invitation.
Ryder turned her face to the right when she felt that Zafran had been staring at her. "Is there anything you want to say?" He chose to ask directly because it was not smart to make small talk.
"No," Zafran replied quickly, but the look in his eyes was still staring sharply at Ryder.
"alright. Then thank you for coming to my house, and be careful on the road" Ryder said. Bair however, that man was Yara's younger brother. So he should treat her well.
"No need to thank you, I didn't come to fulfill your invitation. But to take my family," Zafran replied. He then walked towards the car without seeing how Ryder's current facial expression was.
"What did he say, just take his family?"
Ryder clenched her hands tightly, her face looking tense from feeling annoyed by what the man said. Why did he feel like Zafran was flying the war flag? Does that guy not like it?
Ryder's daydream stopped when she heard the car horn, and what sounded was Zafran, who was still looking at her sharply.
"really. She must not like me."
Ryder kept staring at Yara's car and her family who had driven away, while her parents had already entered the house.
"alright. Whether she likes me or not, tomorrow I won't marry her."
Ryder then turned around and went inside the house, she rushed to the room to contact her friends.
On the way, Mahen continued to stare towards Zafran who was currently driving the car.
"Is there anything Papa wants to tell me?" ask Zafran. At first glance he looked towards the papa, then looked straight ahead again.
"Do you have a problem with Ryder?"
Mahen noticed the interaction between Zafran and Ryder. He could see clearly if there was a friction between them, even Zafran had followed the man while going with Yara.
"No," Zafran replied quickly making Mahen squint in disbelief.
"Don't get into trouble with him, even if he looks relaxed and seems ordinary." Mahen reminded. He did not want his sister's son to get a disaster.
Zafran only nodded his head in response to Mahen's words, while Yara let out a rough sigh knowing that her sister disliked Ryder.
After a while, they all arrived at the courtyard. Mahen immediately carried Yumi and carried her out of the car, as well as the others.
It didn't take long for them to close their eyes. When they got home, they washed their faces and immediately laid themselves on the bed. Only Zafran is currently sitting on the balcony of his room.
Zafran was twirling the phone in his hand, thinking of one man, Ryder.

The next day, at exactly 2 p.m. Yara already looks neat and beautiful by using a sage colored dress. He gave a little makeup on his face, then moved out of the room while opposing the luxurious bag given by Mama Riani.
"Gee. You are so beautiful, dear," exclaimed Riani who was currently sitting in the living room. Since marrying Mahen, she has spent more time at home. All the work has been submitted to someone who is trusted, and will occasionally check into the office.
"I'm going with Ryder, Ma. He invited me to one of his friends' events" Yara said, asking for permission, coinciding with Zafran coming down the stairs.
"Oh, so." Riani nodded her head. "Yes, but be careful. Don't come home too late."
Yara nodded in understanding. "God not till night, Ma."
Then came one of the servants who told him that if there were guests coming, quickly they all passed out to meet him.
Ryder greets Riani when the woman meets him. She then bothered to take Yara away, and responded with a nod of Riani's head.
"Be careful on the road, Ryder. Don't come home too late." Riani reminded again who was responded with a nod of the man's head.
"Good, Aunt. We go first, as-assalamu'alaikum." For the first time Ryder said hello after a long time, and his tongue really felt very stiff.
Yara almost laughed when she heard Ryder say her regards, but she tried not to laugh at the man. How can a Muslim say hello? Isn't that too much?
"Wa'alaikum salutations." Riani also smiled wryly. Especially when he was eye-catching with Yara, he had already tried half-dead to hold back the laughter.
Ryder, who understood that Yara and the middle-aged woman were feeling funny, quickly drove off her car. His face was red because he was currently enduring embarrassment.
"Why is my mouth like this anyway? Just be ashamed." Ryder is eager to sell her mouth and replace it with a new one.
Yara glanced at Ryder when she realized that if the man's face turned red, she lowered her head while trying to hold back the laughter.
"Alas get used to it, Ryder. If learning in childhood is the same as carving on a rock, then learning in adulthood is the same as carving on water."
