A Glimpse of Light For Raina

A mother's longing

At three o'clock in the morning, Raina and Satria are startled by the cries of a hungry and thirsty baby Al. With her eyes still sleepy, Raina lifted the small body into her carrying, Raina gave her breast milk to her son. Al who was hungry was immediately received intake of ASI from the mother with very greedy.

"You are hungry and thirsty, yes. Mother must be strong to eat so that Mother's ASI is always a lot for you." Raina talks to Al who is still cool in sucking the food source.

Raina has learned a lot about how to bond between mother and child to become closer. One of them is the exclusive breast milk for the baby, looking at the child's face with affection when the mother breastfeeds him. Because the continuous interaction is done with affection will make the bond between mother and child stronger.

As is the case with the father who has interacted with the little one since he was in the womb, and it makes the baby able to remember the voice that often invites him to talk. Evidently, baby Al immediately recognized Satria's voice, if Satria was his father.

Without Raina realizing, she had been noticed by Satria who also woke up to hear the cry of baby Al.

In addition to paying attention to Raina who is so affectionate breastfeeding baby Al, Satria's eyes are also fixed on Raina's open breast. His male soul thrashed, with difficulty Satria swallowed her saliva, for this was the first time she saw Raina's hanging object.

Tired of looking down, Raina raised her head. He was shocked when he saw Satria sitting watching him. Raina quickly grabbed baby Al's swaddling cloth to cover her breasts that were still open because the little one was still reluctant to take them off.

"Ehm, why are you awake?" raina asked nervously.

"I woke up because I heard Al crying" replied Satria.

"Sleep again, she's calm now" Raina said.

Satria realizes Raina's discomfort because of her gaze. With a little disappointment, Satria finally obeyed Raina's words to sleep again.

"What say? He woke up hearing Al cry. That means he's seen her for a long time. Holy jeez!" Raina is embarrassed not to be a bitch because Satria has seen her breasts.

*********

The sun had radiated its rays, burning everyone's spirit to continue living. This morning, all the rest of Raina's house were up. But not with new residents. Yeah, who else if not little Al.

Al is still sleeping fast, because in general, newborn babies tend to prefer to sleep.

Raina had bathed first, with difficulty and long enough to be in the bathroom, finally the bath ritual was completed. Satria still faithfully sat in Raina's bed accompanying Al.

"Ehm, sorry Mas. Could not, Mas Satria came out for a while. Raina wants to wear clothes." said Raina, as she entered her room and found Satria there.

"Oh, please." said Satria who saw Raina enter the room only using a bathrobe above the knee with his head covered with a towel.

Again his male soul thrashed, when he saw the legs up to Raina's thigh smooth white and Raina's neck that looks level.

"Shit, cursed are your eyes." murmured Satria as she rubbed her face with her palms, as she walked out of Raina's room.

"What's wrong with you, Sat? Are you sick?" asked Ms Riska who saw her daughter-in-law look very tangled by holding her head.

"Oh, I'm fine, Mom. Just a little dizzy, probably because I woke up last night when I heard Al crying." Satria deliberately told a lie, because she could not speak honestly to her mother-in-law if she had a headache from seeing Raina's beautiful body.

She must resist her desire, until she and Raina do the marriage contract again.

"Oh, you better have breakfast there. I've made breakfast for you." said Ms. Riska.

"Why brother-in-law, brother?" raka asked Aldo when he saw Satria like a frustrated person passing them at the table.

Aldo just shrugged his shoulders, as if to say that he didn't know either.

Satria is done with the ritual of cleaning herself, then she comes out of the bathroom and joins Aldo and Raka at the table to eat.

"Would you rest in peace last night?" aldo asked when Satria landed her body in the chair.

"Enough." Only that word was spoken from Satria's lips.

"Eat with a lot, to be more energetic. I'm saying goodbye, go to work first. The spirit is." said Aldo while patting slowly Satria's back.

"Ehm .. Equally, I also say yes, Brother. I'm going to school. Goodbye." said Raka who also left Satria.

Only Satria left alone at the table to eat, he began to drink warm tea and ate a little food that had been made by Riska's mother. Then after that, she returned to Raina's room.

In Raina's room, Riska's mother wakes her granddaughter up to be bathed.

"Oh, ouch, the handsome grandmother .. from earlier was very lazy to open his eyes." Riska's mother invites Al to talk.

While Raina and Satria smile at Al's cute sleeping style, like not wanting to be disturbed.

"Has breakfast?" ask Raina.

"Yes, I had breakfast. Would you like to get some food for breakfast?" Satria asked Raina again.

"Ehm, if Mas doesn't mind." Raina replied.

"Ok, wait." said Satria and went back out to get some breakfast for Raina.

Five minutes later, Satria re-enters Raina's room, bringing her a meal.

"It's breakfast, please." said Satria.

"Eh, yes Mas. Thanks though. Just put it there for a while I'll eat it." Raina said as she showed me a nightstand.

Raina was still standing watching the way her mother bathed Al. Raina did not dare to bathe Al alone, because Al still looks very small even though at birth Al weight three kilos five ounces. Big enough for a newborn baby. Coupled with Al's umbilical cord still hanging, making Raina even more afraid that it would be touched by her if she was not careful. Therefore, Raina allows her mother to help her in taking care of Al for a while.

At Satria's house, Santi's mother enjoys the morning light in the backyard. His body looks more healthy. What's more, after he got his first grandchild that made him even happier.

Suddenly, his face became sad. When he recalled Al's face, he also missed a figure similar to Al. Yes, the love of a mother is undeniable. Want as bad as the behavior of the child, for him the child is still his child. Santi's mother misses Awan very much, who has not seen him for a long time.

"How are you doing, son? Are you okay in there?" he murmured while shedding tears of longing.
