A Glimpse of Light For Raina

Second Meeting With Mom

"Heemmm, what are you two doing, anyway?" Look at Sandra alternately at me and I Awan.

"What's the matter, San? I'm okay, why." I said as I walked away from Sandra.

While mas Awan is still not budging, busy concocting customer's order drinks.

I stepped onto the food table that had been specially prepared for employees. Take food and sit in chairs that have been prepared for employees who rest lunch.

While Sandra was still standing in front of the stand bar mas Awan ordered a drink and turned to the main chef to directly order his food.

Soon he was sitting in front of me enjoying his iced coffee.

"Why don't you order some other food, Rai?" her question saw me enjoying the food in front of me.

"Hahaha .. I was quite self-conscious times, San. We'll be different, you're the owner's son and I'm just an employee here. Already thankfully provided food, this is also delicious" I said as I put the food back into my mouth.

"Hehehe .. not that, Rai, I mean we're eating together again, not what time, once in a while you also eat as rich as what I eat" said Sandra.

"It's okay, San. I don't want to be taken for granted. Not as good as the others." I said.

Sandra changed her sitting position closer to me. His eyes still shone with suspicion.

"Ehm, you're sure, Rai .. is there nothing in the cloud?" he asked half a whisper.

"Tell me that again?" my spoken.

"Hemm, because you're both suspicious" he said in full questioning.

"Hahaha, how suspicious? I'm just like the Clouds there's nothing, believe me." Tried to convince Sandra not to ask further questions.

But my estimates are wrong. He is still trying to find out.

"Ser-" He had not yet finished his words, a waiter came to bring the food he had ordered earlier.

"Please Sandra" Nara said as she placed the food on Sandra's table.

" Thank you Ms. Nara" Sandra told the waiters of my old fight.

I just smiled to see it. And then the waiters left us both.

"Seriously, yes. Don't let me find out more than anyone else" he said, threatening.

While I just kept quiet by continuing to enjoy my food that was left a little on the plate.

"You do not hesitate, Rai, tell me if there is anything related to the cloud mas" he said.

I just nodded and smiled at her words.

"Finish the food your mouth just spoke. Choking later, you know." I said diverting the conversation.

Sorry, San, this time I haven't been able to share my story with you. What else concerns the older cousin who you always boast of his kindness without seeing the bad side.

*****

We walked out of the pantry with a full stomach. Talking and laughing about something we thought was funny.

Unknowingly, I had bumped into someone who was about to go into the toilet. I grabbed the bag that had fallen on the floor and handed it to the owner with my head still down.

"I'm sorry, I didn't intentionally. Here's the bag." I said, bowing half my body and apologizing.

"Raina ..." she said half in shock to see me.

I raised my head, found out who I had hit and recognized myself. How shocked I was when I saw who was standing in front of me.

"B ... Um, sorry I already bumped into you mistress." I don't know if there's any pain. Which made me stop at calling the woman the name I should have said.

"Raina, this is Mom, son .." she said softly.

"I'm sorry, you're not my mother." I bowed my body again and gave a bitter smile at the corner of my lips.

I was about to step in and she died, but she stopped me from leaving again.

"I'm sorry Mom, son .." he said, pleading.

"My mother was not a man who could leave her family just for the sake of ambition, My mother was a woman who loved her family very much, My mother would never ignore her son's call because she loved all her children so much" I said with trembling lips holding a clear grain that would drip.

"Raina, take care of your words, this is a parent, you know" Sandra reminded.

"You don't know, San, it hurts to be left behind by a mother and ignored when you run after the person you miss so much. Because it will never happen to you and because your mother is not the woman in front of you right now" I said with a rising intonation.

It's my defense. Hate me so much that my heart helps him.

"Let's go, son, it's my fault that Raina is acting this way to me" she told Sandra as she sobbed.

Sandra just kept quiet and held my hand.

"Raina, I have a reason why I didn't stop to see you" she said

He had not been able to continue his conversation, I had interrupted his talk because it had been ignited emotions.

"Why? Because I was ashamed of the same man that I was fond of at that time. I'm ashamed to have a rich son Raina. Mom is now a rich man so do not want to admit Raina in front of the man. That's Mom's husband now, right. Who can love what you dream that you do not get from your father because you are poor." My emotions are getting louder and uncontrollable.

Plaque ... A slap hard enough to land on my cheek.

"Sorry, Rai ... I don't mean to slap you, son." she said shaking in fear at the hand that had landed freely on my cheek.

I looked at the woman in front of me with a look of anger. I hold my cheek that is warming. I ran away from everyone who had witnessed what had happened.

While Sandra was still standing where she stood.

Sandra again watched my meeting with mom for the second time. And hear all the words that come out of my mouth, the words that have been stuck in my heart all this time.

Sick from this slap, not worth the pain of what I've been scratching your children's hearts, Mom.
