A Glimpse of Light For Raina

Fall in Love

Raina stared at the puzzled face of Satria who forbade her to come to her mother's house .

"Why should I stay? I miss my mom and my brother" Raina said.

"Mas knows, but this is gonna be the night. The journey there is quite far, pity Al if exposed to the night wind. I promise, tomorrow morning I'll take you there. But for tonight, let Mas go alone." said Satria while peeping Raina's forehead.

Raina was silent when Satria landed a kiss on her suddenly, Raina seemed to run out of words to refute what Satria had said after receiving a long enough kiss. Although only limited to allow, but already can make himself melt just like that.

"Mas go first. You be careful at home with Al. Lock the door properly until Mas gets home." message Satria to Raina.

Raina just nodded her head in response.

Satria is now riding her motorcycle to her mother-in-law's house. Satria still did not expect, after the drama of losing Raina now he was sure to return to say his sacred pledge to Raina.

The woman who a year ago has been given the status of wife and also mother to a niece who she has considered as her own child. Patience and perseverance while waiting for the certainty of love from him. And now, there was no reason for him to deny that he really loved and loved his woman with all his heart.

Along the way, his smile continued to expand on that handsome face of his. Her heart felt so flowery like the first time she felt in love again.

Not felt, because along the way Satria continues to imagine her domestic life with Raina, finally her motorcycle has reached the home of her mother-in-law.

With light steps and a happy heart, Satria headed for the tightly shut house. His hand knocked on the door of the house.

Before long, someone opened the door.

"Assalamualaikum ..." said Satria.

"Moskirishalam, Mas. Alone, the case?" asked Raka who did not see her sister and niece with Satria.

"Yes. Is mom there?" Satria answered and asked Raka.

"There, Mas. Come on, come on in." said Raka as she invited her sister-in-law to come in.

Satria entered the house with Raka. Raka headed straight to the dining room to call her mother. Satria was waiting in the family room.

"Who are you?" ask Ms. Riska who is in the dining room.

"Mas Satria, ma'am." answered Raka.

"Oh, alone? Directly bring here, let all dinner together." said Ms. Riska.

"Yes, ma'am." replied Raka and immediately went back to Satria.

In the family room, Satria who was sitting in a sofa waiting for her mother-in-law while playing her cellphone, Raka's footsteps made Satria stop his activities playing games and see who came.

" Mas invited to dinner first, same mother." said Raka when he arrived before Satria.

Satria immediately remembered Raina when Raka invited her to dinner, because she had not bought food for Raina at home and the food supply in the refrigerator was also exhausted.

"Hmm, I'm not going to eat, Ka. It's already full. Just wait here." Satria lied to Raka, actually she has not had dinner but she will have dinner with Raina so she refused the offer of her sister-in-law.

"Ok, man." Raka went back to the dining room.

"Lho, where's the Satria?" ask Ms. Riska.

"Mas Satria is still in the middle room, he is full" replied Raka.

"Ehm, maybe there's something she wants to say, ma'am. What's again? He didn't come here with Raina" said Aldo, who was close to finishing his meal.

Riska's mother thought for a moment, then she stopped eating and went out to find her daughter-in-law.

"Satria, why did you come here by yourself? Where are Raina and Al?" ask Riska's mother who has approached Satria.

"Eh, mom. Raina's at home, Mom. It is intentional that Satria did not bring him out of pity for Al if he had to catch the night wind." replied Satria who immediately stood up from her seat and kissed the back of her in-laws' hands with reverence.

"Oh, so. Then, what's the matter, until you come here yourself?" ask Riska again.

"Look, Mom. The point of my arrival here is to tell my mother if we will repeat the marriage contract on Sunday" replied Satria.

He who is not aware of the child's household problems, considers if his child's household is fine. And of course, he felt happy because the hope of his daughter would soon be realized.

"The plan is to be held at Eva's mother's house, ma'am. It's okay, if the show's there?" Satria tried to make sure back to her in-laws so as not to be offended by the problem of their marriage contract later.

"Mother, no problem. Wherever you go, you'll agree." replied Ms. Riska.

"And for this event, only the nuclear family will be attended. And this event is also organized simply because this is just a repeat of the marriage contract." Satria explained to her mother-in-law.

"Yes, Son. It's better." said Ms. Riska while smiling.

"Thank you, Mom. I want to re-establish my relationship with Raina. And it has helped us a lot in many ways" said Satria.

"Yes, equally. It was my duty as the only parent Raina had. Surely I will be happy, if I see my son happy." replied Ms. Riska.

Satria's Day felt trembling as Riska's mother said that. Satria became reminded of his mother who still rejected his presence.

"If you could also say the same thing as what you said, maybe it would make me and Raina happier because they got their blessing too." Satria said.

"Satria, how are you daydreaming?" ask Riska's mother who found her daughter-in-law somehow daydreaming.

"Ehm .. sorry, Mom. Yes, I'm going home, ma'am. Afraid of the night, pitying Raina and Al who are waiting for me at home" Satria said farewell to her in-laws.

"Yes, Satria boy. You be careful, yes, go home." reply Ms. Riska.

"Yes, Mom. Oh yes, for the next hour we will tell you because we are still waiting for news from the ruler" said Satria while kissing the back of her father-in-law's hands full of reverence.

After saying goodbye, Satria came out of the house and headed for her motorcycle parked in the yard of her in-laws' house.

Satria was riding the motorcycle, her mind was fixed on Raina. Satria took the initiative to call her. Satria immediately pulled out the phone from her jacket pocket and made a call to Raina.

[Hallo, assalamualaikum Mas.]

[Valayksalam, Deck. This is Mas already going home, what do you want to leave for dinner?]

[What a hell, Mom. Raina come with me.]

[Don't do it, dong. There is no name for the food. Tell me what you want to eat. I must have bought it for you.]

[Ehm, Raina wants chicken fried rice sold at the cairo depot, Mas.]

[Depot cairo? Where it is, I don't know.]

[That's you know, left after the fork that's not far from the gate of the mother's house.]

[Oh. Ok, deh. Later on find.]

[Mas, wait! Don't hang up the phone.]

[Yes, is there anything else you want to order?]

[Ehm, all the same kebabs yes, Mas. Because midnight Raina likes laper.]

[Hahaha .. yes, dear. I understand, really. You're, still nursing Al. Yes, I hung up the phone.]

The phone call was ended, Satria immediately forwarded her motorcycle to look for the depot mentioned by Raina.

**********

Meanwhile, in the room of her rented house, Raina smiled to herself after receiving a phone call from Satria.

"Did I not hear wrong? She called me dear." murmured Raina whose heart was blossoming.

Raina who was never dating, although she had fallen in love with the Clouds at that time, but now she felt a different vibration when Satria who gave sweet attention to her.

Raina felt back the butterflies tickling her heart to her stomach. The vibration of love was again present and made him forget the pain that Satria had incised.
