A Glimpse of Light For Raina

Building a Dream

In order to fill the time gap, Raina now helps her mother at the cake shop. Similarly, Al who was also brought with him accompanied his mother. Al is placed on a bouncer, playing with toys that have been prepared by the mother. Every now and then the little Al noticed his mother and also his grandmother who was busy making cakes. Al is a smart child and does not fuss if the mother is busy helping her grandmother.

He will cry if he feels thirsty, sleepy and is also urinating. So Raina would stop her activities and calm her son.

Today, not so many orders come in. So that Riska's mother is not so busy making cakes. So more rest and play with his granddaughter.

"Bu ..." call Raina quietly and sit next to her mother.

"Yes, Rai ... why?" ask Ms. Riska.

"Mom, Raina wants to talk to me about Satria" Raina said.

"Yes, baby .. just talk, I'll listen, really." replied Riska.

"Mas Satria invited Raina to rent her own house, ma'am. He said .. so that we can both be more independent and can also better understand each other in building a household." Raina informed Satria of the intention that they had talked about this morning.

"Mommy's so cute, baby. You guys should be like that. Maybe with that, you can get to know each other better. You are married with a very short introductory time and even without the slightest feeling of love. Think of it .. This is a time of exploration for you." Riska's mother tries to give understanding to her daughter.

"So, I don't want to go to Raina and Al" Raina joked.

"Yes, not so dear ... after all, you guys also moved not out of town, right? Mothers can still visit you and you can visit mother's house as you please. I thought, it looks like Satria needs privacy for both of you." said Ms. Riska.

"Privacy? What is privacy, Mom? Kan, we've got one room. Certainly in the room has also been very privacy for Satria" said Raina.

"Yes, if you're here, there's your mother and your brothers. Surely, he is not free to be close to you more intimate." said Ms. Riska.

"What's more intimate, ma'am?" Raina's cheeks red blushed in shame.

"Hahaha .. you will feel different, if you really live together later." Riska's mother laughed at Raina who was embarrassed.

Raina imagined what her mother had said.

"Maybe what mom says is true, may there be a change if we really stay together later." - Raina.

"So, when are your plans moving out?" ask Ms. Riska.

"Mas Satria is still looking for the house we're going to live in, ma'am. Probably about four or five days. Said Satria like that." replied Raina.

"Mom can only pray for the best for you, hopefully you can be a good wife and mother for your husband and child" said Ms. Riska.

"Thank you, Mom. Raina will always remember the advice I gave Raina." Raina replied.

********

After work, Satria rushed to the rented house that had been notified by her coworkers who also rented a house in the same area.

Single house with type 36 located not so far from where Satria works and also its strategic location, making Satria feel suitable with the house even though he had just seen it from the outside.

"This is his house, Sat." Appoint Deki Satria's co-worker.

Satria nodded her head and began to look around the house that began to be filled with grass that began to rise up the right and left of the house.

"As soon as you wait here, I'll call the sister who owns this house. The house is not far from here, really." said Deki.

"Ok." said Satria.

Shortly after, Deki returns along with a middle-aged woman who still looks so energetic.

"This is aunty, my friend is Satria who wants to see his house" said Deki introduced Satria.

"Oh, I'm Nilam. Let's go in." replied the woman and got a nod from Satria.

The door of the house opened, Satria paid attention to the details of every room in the house. Minimalist house that only has two bedrooms that are not too big, but feel comfortable to live in for himself and his small family.

"How, Mas?" tanya Aunt Nilam as the sister of the owner of the house that will be rented Satria.

"I fit in with his house. Approximately, how much, the rental price of a month?" Satria asked Aunt Nilam.

"One million per month, Mas. But not yet with the water and electricity, yes. The water and electricity are borne by the hire." replied Aunt Nilam.

"Ehm, so. I dp first, can you? The rest after I moved here." asked Satria who was really srek with the house.

"Yes, it's okay, Mom. About when to be occupied? Let it be cleaned first his house before it is occupied." said Aunt Nilam.

"Maybe about four more days, aunt. I will tell you two days before being moved." Satria replied.

"OKs. Can keep my phone number, Mas. Let it be good if you tell me." said Aunt Nilam.

After exchanging phone numbers and also paying dp rent, Satria was bidding home.

Satria advanced the speed of riding his motorcycle to get home faster. Somehow his heart was so happy, after getting the house he wanted even though it was just rented.

*********

"Walaikumsalam ..." replied the person in the house.

Satria kept her foot inside the house.

"Just come home, Mas." said Aldo who was watching television in the family room.

Although, Aldo is the brother-in-law of Satria, but he still respects Satria who is three years older on it. Which makes Aldo still call Satria by the name of mas.

"Yes, your tumben is quickly at home. Usually I arrive first." said Satria.

"See the clock, dong. What time is it?" Aldo pointed to the wall clock that was right on the television table.

"Hahaha, deserved. Then I'm late for home this time. Okay, I'm going in first, yeah. It's so hot, here." Satria chuckled after seeing that clinking clock.

"Ok, please." reply Aldo.

Satria did not realize that she had arrived home almost in time for maghrib. He immediately went into the room and went straight to the bathroom that had previously greeted Raina.

"Assalamualaikum .. Dad came home" said Satria who had just entered the room.

"Walaikumsalam .. kok, just came home, Mas." reproved Raina as he glanced at the clock in his phone.

"Yes, Deck. I stopped by to see the house first. Yeah, I took a shower. Maghrib, this is. Later we continue the story." replied Satria who immediately rushed to grab a towel and walked to the bathroom.

After the maghrib prayer and dinner, Satria began to talk about her intentions which would lead Raina to rent her own house to her mother and sister Raina who are now gathered in the family room.

"Ehm, Ma'am .. I plan to take Raina out of this house and want to rent a house myself. Did mom allow it?" ask Satria carefully.

"Raina talked to mom this afternoon. Sure, mom allowed it. Because surely you have thought about this carefully and of course also for your good, right." replied Ms. Riska.

"Thank you if you'll let me." said Satria

"Have you found the rental house?" ask Ms. Riska.

"Alhamdulilah, I have found a suitable home for our residence. Indeed his house is just a simple house that is not so big, but the place is very comfortable and also not far from where I work." replied Satria.

"Oh yeah, about when are you guys going to move in?" Riska's mother asked again.

"God willing, if there are no obstacles for about four more days we will move, ma'am." replied Satria.

"Mom can only pray, hopefully after you decide to study independently, you can understand each other, understand each other how the meaning of a marriage actually. And, may Nak Satria be able to love Raina as a wife for Nak Satria." Riska's mother seemed to remind Satria again what about her marriage relationship and also Raina.

"God willing, ma'am." said Satria.

After Satria had finished talking with her mother-in-law, Satria went to the room.

"Dek ..." call Satria softly to Raina who is breastfeeding Al.

"Yes, why Mas?" ask Raina.

"Just finish it until Al is full" Satria said without answering Raina's question and sat down at the end of the bed.

After Al felt full and fell asleep again, Raina also confirmed her position by sitting leaning on the head of the mattress.

"Why, Mas?" Raina asked Satria again.

"Here, I have a little money to buy kitchen supplies. We install first yes, buy as necessary. Later, if there is still less we buy again after the payday mas." said Satria while handing some red banknotes to Raina.

Indeed, as long as he worked, all his savings were held by his mother. So, Satria only relied on the rest of her salary which she deliberately set aside little by little a few months after she stayed at home with Raina.

Actually, Satria could have bought Raina and Al a simple house, but in reality all the savings held by her mother could not be taken.

"Yes, Mas. It's okay, really. Raina take yes, the money. God willing, if tomorrow mother is not much order cake, Raina will ask help to accompany Raina to buy home supplies." said Raina while receiving the money that Satria had given.

"Yes, Deck. Yes, let's go to bed. It's night." said Satria while gently rubbing Raina's head.

"Yes, Mas. Good night." said Raina.

"Night too." Satria replied.

Both of them began to close their eyes. Dreams, so that their beautiful dreams become a reality.
