The Four Emirs
Bumped

Ayrton laughed heartily at Direndra's story of Raana who thought it was Veer who asked him for permission to take Raana up his Range Rover.

"Can't go to Veer anyway? Actually deh Ndra, Raana was more insensitive than mbak Rina" gelak Ayrton.

"I'm a manyun!" sulkan Direndra who called through his satellite phone in his room.

"Prophey bro. I also experienced it, Mariana was the same. Still doubting my attention when Zee almost every day wants to sleep, always video call with me."

"Mariana still doesn't trust you?" ask Direndra.

"Aware actually. After all, mom once said, for women who already have children, there will be different ways to respond to the attention given by a man. Whether sincere to himself and his son or just himself."

"Added you also have to LDR again" said Direndra.

"Yes. Uh, Ndra if one day Raana finds out who you really are, what will happen?"

"Hopefully he didn't faint." Direra laughed a little.

"Raana" called Ammar Badawi after they had dinner.

"Yes grandfather." Raana also sat at the dining table with Ammar who as usual read the Qur'an there after eating before going to bed.

"Grandfather wants to talk seriously. Can you?"

Raana's pretty face looked at her grandfather with an amused look. "Please grandpa."

"Do you like Veer Durmad?"

Raana's face flushed. "Yes Grandpa."

"Sorry Raana, but grandpa doesn't like that kid." Ammar spoke rather loudly.

Raana is shocked to hear a loud and dislike tone from her grandfather, the only surviving member of her family.

"But why the cake? Haven't you seen Veer in a long time?"

"Grandpa is much more able to judge a person by Raana's attitude and Grandpa says Veer's like something's hidden."

"Grandfather, doesn't everyone always hide an ugly nature?" Raana smiles.

"Indeed but grandpa feels you're too good for Veer. He is not of Arab blood. Grandpa doesn't want you to go all the way to India. We'll move to a new location and grandpa's sure you'll love your school later. It will be a dilemma whether you leave school or go to India. Are you just gonna leave?"

"Yes. And you are the only granddaughter and the only surviving relative. Don't make grandpa sad because you don't live together anymore."

"Grandfather, if I marry an Arab, I will also leave my grandfather and come with my husband."

"But at least you're still in Arab land, Raana. We can still meet each other. If you go to India, it's a different country and not every time we get to meet."

Raana just fell silent.

"Think carefully. If you need to pray for a third of the night so you get the answer." Ammar stood up. "Grandpa needs a break." The middle-aged man walked towards his room leaving Raana alone in the dining room.

The next morning, Raana leaves for school uninspired. His grandfather's words really made him think a lot. Due to daydreaming, Raana until unconscious hit Direndra's back.

"Astaghfiullah! Sorry teacher Abi. I did not see" said Raana who immediately lowered her head with a reddened face.

"It's okay. You didn't break his nose into my back?" Direndra investigates the face especially Raana's pointed nose.

"Alhamdulillah is safe." But Raana rubbed her nose.

"Teacher Raana daydreams what?" ask Direndra.

"Ah is okay. It's just..." Raana looked at Direndra's face which slightly bent her body because Raana was about twenty inches in height.

"What only? Hhmm?" Direndra stared intensely at the beautiful girl before him.

"Just..." The bell rang. "I have to rush into the teacher's room." Raana even slightly ran towards her room leaving Direndra who was smiling thinly.

You gemesiiinn!
