A week passed Sintia's dress was finished. Sintia has done the fitting of clothes.
"It's beautiful El's dress, I like it" said Sintia with enthusiasm.
"Thank God, it was not in vain that I called Keket here" replied Ela.
Dress for the family. Dress Aunt Oryza, Auza and Aunt Love.
"The El bridesmaid dress?" ask Ditha.
"It's already yours, you can try it first" Ela showed Ditha's clothes.
"Lost a few more dresses including Catherine's" Ela replied.
"I'm coming too?" catherine did not believe it.
"Yes, you changed me to be Rafa's partner. I promised to be Dawn's partner later" replied Ela.
"Fajar, the guy with the weird disease?" ask Catherine curiously.
"You're the same couple as Dawn El?" sintia and Ditha asked in disbelief.
"Yes, he asked me to be his partner because he didn't want his sister's partner, while he was allergic to other women. I had to accompany him" Ela replied.
"Forced or already started to like" seduced Ditha.
"Forced Tha.. you ah" replied Ela shyly.
"Like it's okay, El, we support it as long as you like" Ditha replied.
"Ngaco you" Elak Ela.
"I don't have to wear headgear like you do, do I?" catherine was confused.
"Yes not Ket, why also you wear a hijab" said Ela.
"Thank God" Catherine replied in relief.
"Btw the Rafa already knows that I changed you. Later he was surprised again suddenly see me as his partner?" ask Catherine.
"Oh yes because - because busy mengurusin dress I forgot to say the same Rafa" replied Ela.
"Later I'll tell her" Ela continued.
It was late afternoon, they decided to go home.
Ela and Catherine return to Ela's house in Ela's car. Arriving at the house Ela and Catherine took a bath and changed clothes. After that, Ela was reminded to send a message to Rafa.
Ell
Raf's gone home from work?
Rafa
Just got out of El's office. What was?
Ell
Come home later, there is something I want to say
Rafa
Okay
Soon Rafa arrives at Ela's house. Ela was still in the upper room while Catherine slept in the downstairs guest room.
When Rafa entered Catherine had just come out of her room.
"Eh there's Rafa, want to find Ela?" ask Catherine.
"Yes but I want to spend the Maghrib prayer first" replied Rafa.
"Yes Om, I take ablution first" replied Rafa.
Before long Ela came down wearing a mukena, they used to pray in the prayer room of her house.
"Lho Rafa has apparently. Want to pray together?" ask Ela.
"Yes, let him be the priest, Papa coughs" said Aditya.
Rafa comes out of the bathroom and into the crowded prayer room waiting for Aditya, Alexa and Ela.
"You are the imam, Raf, Om's voice is hoarse with a cough" said Aditya.
"Yes Oma is fine" replied Rafa.
Rafa immediately took up the position of priest. They began to pray. Rafa's voice is very melodious chanting verses - Koran verses. I don't know why Catherine's heart felt so comfortable and calm.
This is the religious life in Indonesia. Usually I just see Ela praying without a sound, most with her voice when she teaches. Rafa's voice is so sweet.. Makes my heart calm and calm. It feels so comfortable. Inner Catherine.
Catherine waited and watched as Ela and the others finished their Maghrib prayers in the prayer hall
After finishing the Maghrib prayer Ela invited her to sit on the side porch with Catherine.
"What did El you call me to come here?" ask Rafa.
"I want to tell you Rafa, yesterday Dawn asked to help accompany me as a partner as a groomsmen and bridesmaid at the wedding of Sintia. Pity he can not couple each other except his sister and family. You don't mind Raf? Besides Catherine, she doesn't have a partner, either. There's no way he's the Dawn couple there" Ela said.
"Well, the danger is that El can throw him up, I've seen how severe his illness is if it has recurred" Catherine continued.
"Mmm. I don't mind. Catherine is also my partner if she doesn't mind" Rafa tells Ela.
"Where's Ket?" ask Ela.
"I'm okay - okay. Just stand and walk together, right?" ask Catherine.
"Yes, there will be a dress rehearsal. The day before the event. You can study there" Ela said
"Okey.." Catherine replied.
"Means clear yes... Rafa's with Catherine, I'm with Dawn. Let me send him a message later. He threatened to cancel if he did not have a partner. That's why her cousin's wedding party couldn't have been with her" Ela said.
"El take Rafa to eat with us yuk?" call Alexa.
"We'll eat first yuk Raf" asked Ela.
Ela, Rafa and Catherine head to the dinner table to enjoy dinner together.
"Where is Sintia's wedding dress?" ask Alexa.
"It's finished earlier Ma, it has been tried also Sintia. There are only parents' clothes and bridesmaid clothes" replied Ela.
"Quick also yes when not up to a month kamj make for all" praise Alexa.
"There's already reinforcements from London Ma" Ela glanced at Catherine.
"That bill, free Catherine donk is specifically invited" Aditya tease.
"Ah Om is common, in London I and Ela can already catch up on clothes if they want to be held Om performances" replied Catherine.
"If there wasn't a Catherine, I wouldn't have made it the way it is today, Ma, Pa. He who has always been faithful accompanies and supports me there" answered Ela honestly.
Rafa watched Ela while eating, actually he was not willing to let go of Ela paired with Dawn. But he was sorry to see Dawn who could not pair with anyone else. In addition, he was not happy to reject Catherine as his partner, Catherine was directly in front of him. If she refused, Catherine would be discouraged.
After all Catherine had already helped enough to prepare Sintia's wedding dress and her martial arts came all the way from London for this.
Rafa wants to show Catherine that Indonesians are friendly - friendly to foreigners, even though Catherine is Ela's manager but still she is a stranger in Jakarta. Think Rafa.
Let me give up this time but I have to move fast. I have to convey my heart to Ela so as not to chase Dawn. Ela should know that I like her too. And may her feelings for me still be as they used to be.
I really hope for that. Rafa said in his heart.
