A Glimpse of Light For Raina

Most Beautiful Award

Two weeks is the age of little Al. Coinciding with his age of fourteen days, the family held an aqiqah procession for little Al. Four goats are deliberately sacrificed to celebrate the birth of baby Al as a form of gratitude and deep happiness for both families, especially for the Sanjaya family, which is where Al is the first grandson for them.

The aqiqah event was held in Raina's residence and celebrated so festively invited residents around the housing where Raina lived, relatives of both families, and friends, satria's co-workers and all the employees of the restaurant where Raina worked were also present.

The procession of aqiqah begins with the slaughter of livestock that are goats that have been slaughtered directly by Satria with a guide by an expert in their field the day before the event began, then carried out studies, and, shaving the baby's hair and confirming the name that has been given to the baby.

The event went so smoothly, there were no obstacles whatsoever. The event ended in the afternoon, only the nuclear family remained at Raina's house.

Pakde Suseno deliberately gathered the two sides of the nuclear family to discuss how the relationship continues Raina and Satria.

Everyone had gathered in the family room, including Santi's mother was also present.

"Assalamualaikum warohmatullahi wabarokatuh .. deliberately we gather here, I as a parent of the Satria family want to talk about the continuation of the relationship between our children. As we have talked about before the previous marriage, if the next will be discussed the continuation of the relationship between the two after Raina gave birth. What about Raina's family?" said Mr. Suseno.

"If in my opinion, let these two children decide. Because after all, they are the ones who will live the real household hick" replied Ms. Riska as the mother of Raina.

"How about, Santi Deck? You as Satria's real mother, you also have to give blessing to them" said Mr. Suseno.

Santi's mother fell silent, Satria noticed the look on her face with anxious expectation. Until now, Ibu Santi is still cold to Satria whenever Satria talks about Raina.

"I ... I agree with Riska's mother." replied Santi's mother.

Satria realized that, the answer given by her mother was not really sincere, like being forced to say that.

"Alhamdulilah .. What about you, Satria?" ask Mr. Suseno.

"Ehm, actually ... Satria wants to resume the marriage a month after Raina finishes her posthumous term. And if Raina pleases, I will hurry her." Satria replied carefully and occasionally herself also noticed her suave attitude that looked at her dislike.

The gaze of Santi's eyes was caught by Aldo's eyes which also paid attention as Satria spoke.

"Then, is Raina willing to continue this marriage?" ask Pakde Suseno to Raina who holds little Al.

"InshaAllah .. I am willing, Pakde." replied Raina.

"Well then, since we have reached an agreement that is in line with the expectations of all of us, we close this deliberation with hamdalah."

""Alhamdulilah ..." said all those in the family room, but not with Santi's mother who returned silent.

"The day is getting night, you also need to rest because all day long we have been here to carry out the aqiqah of our beloved grandchildren. Then, my family and I go home, Miss Riska, Raina." said Mr. Suseno.

"Yes, sir." replied Riska's mother kindly.

So did Raina who met one by one the family from Satria. Everyone went home and Raina's house was deserted. Raina brought Al into the room to put the child on the bed, because from then on the little Al had fallen asleep in Raina's lap.

After putting Al on the bed, Raina went to the bathroom to clean her body that felt so sticky. Raina splashed all over her body with water that was so refreshing.

After finishing her bathing ritual, Raina went back inside her room to put on clothes. And then, Raina went to lie down next to Al who was still sleeping very soundly.

Raina tilted her body to be able to see the child's face, it felt so soothing when she saw the little face of the baby boy. Raina stroked the soft little cheek of Al.

"Your presence makes your mother's days colorful, you are the most beautiful gift God has given you. Pardon mother, if the beginning of your presence in your mother's heart, mother had not received you. In fact, the mother had thought to end her life. But you realize, it's a heinous thing that God hates. Until finally, you fight for yourself and you are born into this world. Mother loves you, son." said Raina and then kissed little Al on the forehead.

Raina again laid her body in the correct position, her eyes looking straight at the ceiling of her room. He took a slow breath and breathed it out and a smile rose on his lips.

While still in the same house but in a different room, Aldo thought about what had disturbed his mind.

"Why did the look on Santi's mother's face change when Satria stated her intention to resume her marriage to Raina? Is there something with the mother and the child?" Aldo kept wondering.

***********

Satria residence.

The car had just pulled over, the mother and her two sons got out of the car and stepped into the house.

Bara had already entered his room, while Satria followed behind his mother.

"Mah ..." call Satria.

"Yes." Yeah." Santi's mother stopped her steps, but did not turn her body.

"Well, thank you for reinstating Satria's intention to continue this marriage" said Satria.

"Help ...." Only Deheman gave Santi's mother to her child and then she resumed her steps.

Satria pegged in his place to look at his mother who returned to walk. Satria felt wrong. Until now, he has not found a definite reason what causes his mother to change like that.

"Why is this mama the same Satria, Mah? What's Satria's fault?" muttered.

With mixed feelings, Satria took the keys of her motorcycle and then returned out of the house.

Satria drove his motorcycle at high speed until he had not noticed the road, until his motorcycle almost hit a car that was about to come out of a residential alley.

Satria and the driver of the car were both shocked and braked suddenly. Satria was still silent on his motorcycle, while the driver of the car came out and approached Satria.

However, when he approached his steps on a Satria motorcycle, immediately

his steps became slow when he knew who was on the motorcycle.

"Mas Satria ..." he called him a weep.

Satria also turned to the origin of the voice that had spread the tension.

Deg, man,

"Name ...."

Dag, dig, dug, der....
