A Glimpse of Light For Raina

Mutual forgiving

"Sorry, the adek I just hit, huh?" ask Adrian.

"What's? He call me, brother? Do I look like a kid?" grumbled Sandra in heart.

Sandra could no longer cover herself.

With some embarrassment, Sandra tried to raise her head. And nods his head in response.

Undeniably, both of his cheeks met red in shame.

While Raina, holding back her laughter saw the expression of her best friend.

"How's the waist? Does it still hurt?" ask Adrian again.

"Ehm ... a little bit." Sandra replied as she grinned.

"If you still feel pain? Come on, let me treat." Adrian offers himself to treat Sandra.

"Eh - Ehm .. no need, Doc. Thanks though. At least the pain will disappear by itself." Sandra replied with a slight pull on the corner of her lips.

"So, what do I have to do to make up for my guilt?" adrian asked who felt bad for bumping into Sandra.

"Look off again, Doc. Don't feel guilty, just assume it was just a small disaster." replied Sandra.

Raina cleared her throat hard enough, giving the code to her best friend in order to take advantage of the situation to get acquainted with Adrian's doctor closer.

Sandra turned to Raina, as if understanding, she just pinched Raina's thigh slowly in response. Suddenly Raina's eyes immediately swerved towards her best friend, because it had responded to her code by pinching her.

"Ekhem ... Here you go, how about we eat together in the afternoon? I beg you not to be rejected." said doctor Adrian berdehem saw the behavior of the two women in front of him and while throwing a sweet smile that makes Sandra more fascinated.

"Eh .. i - yes, deh." answered Sandra in shock.

"All right, then. After work, I came straight here to see you" said Adrian doctor along with a nod of his head asking permission to say goodbye out of the room.

Raina and Sandra answered with a nod of their heads and gave a smile to the young doctor.

"Huftt .. I'm no longer a dream, right, Rai? He's convinced I'm making a meal together, Rai. Arghhh, my heart oath will be taken off when he talks that close to me." Sandra continued to babble while holding Raina's hand and patting her best friend's hand on her cheek.

While Bara just shook his head to see the behavior of his cousin's brother.

"Hahaha, you bucin. Use this precious opportunity to get closer to her. I want to go back to your room first. Poor mama no one is nemenin. Bye ... Good afternoon wait." Raina waved her hand teasing her kasmaran best friend.

********

Raina has now returned to her in-laws room, and looks like her in-laws have just been examined by a doctor. Because he passed the doctor was mined by the door when he was about to enter the room.

"You've been checked again?" asked Raina who was sitting next to her bed-in-law.

"Yes, Rai. God willing, if Mamah's condition is stable until tomorrow, Mamah can go home." replied Santi's mother.

"Alhamdulilah .. therefore Mamah do not delay eating and taking the medicine to recover quickly. And also don't think too much of anything." said Raina reminded her mother-in-law.

"Yes, honey. Thank you for reminding Mamah." replied Santi's mother with a smile.

"Want to eat fruit? Let Raina cut it." asked Raina.

"May." answered Santi's mother.

Raina immediately took the fruit on the nightstand, peeled the skin and cut the fruit into small pieces.

On the sidelines coolly giving pieces of the fruit to her in-laws, suddenly heard the sound of the door being knocked.

And enter Raka and Riska's mother with Al who was in the company of her grandmother. With her small steps she immediately ran towards Raina. Raina immediately greeted Al with a warm embrace.

"Assalamualaikum ..." said Ms. Riska and Raka simultaneously.

"Walaikumsalam ..." reply Raina and also Santi's mother.

Santi's mother's eyes glazed over at the arrival of Al, her granddaughter whom she had not seen for a long time.

"You're a big boy now, Le, you can run. It's more handsome and funny for you." said Santi's mother while holding Al's hand and let out tears that can not be dammed anymore to resist the novelty of seeing Al.

"Why, uda? To nanis-nanis? (Who is that, Mother? How, crying?)" little Al asked while pointing at Santi's mother and also looking at her mother to ask for answers.

"It's her grandmother's adek too, call her Mbah Uti. Uti again kangen same adek hence, Mbah Uti nangis. Dear Utinya, son." replied Raina while asking her son to hug Santi's mother.

Al looked at Ibu Santi and Ibu Riska alternately, he immediately came down from his lap and stood in front of Riska's mother who was none other than his grandmother.

Both hands were clutched in the chest and his eyes were still looking towards Mother Santi and also Mother Riska together.

"Hmm, nda au. Ntu no nyenye Al's. This is nienye Al. (Hmm, don't want to. That's not Al's grandmother. This is Al.'s grandmother)" Al threw out his face and pulled out his haughty face typical of the style of a small child who was lashing. Then immediately hugged the feet of his grandmother who was none other than Riska's mother.

"What a bitch, is that it? That's Al's grandmother, too. That's dad's mom. Come, salim used to be the same Mbah Utinya adek." Riska's mother immediately squatted to align her body with Al.

"Well, it's okay, Mom. If his son does not want to. He still doesn't know me very well. This is also because it is my fault for neglecting my own grandchild to this extent." said Santi's mother with guilt.

"Mah .. sorry, yes. Mamah do not be sad, gradually if Al often met with Mamah, surely he will want to be also close to the Mbahnya." raina said trying to strengthen her heart and calm her in-laws so as not to dissolve too much in her guilt.

"Yes, honey. Mama understands, really. You can see Al now, Mamah is happy." replied Santi's mother with a smile and gently rubbed the back of Raina's hand.

"What about Mom now?" ask Ms. Riska who is still holding Al.

"Thank God it has improved, Mom." replied Sinta Mother and also singed a smile at the iron.

Criyite, kriiit,

The sound of the door creaking open made everyone in the room turn towards the door.

"Assalamu - alaikum," said someone, the person who is none other than Satria. Who said that greeting in a stern manner.

His eyes were perfectly rounded, with a doubtful heart still walking forward to approach the people in front of him.

His eyes were fixed on his wife, implying that he was asking for answers that all was well. The wife nods her head and smiles happily, indicating that everything is fine.

He can breathe a sigh of relief and throw away all his rains. Especially when he saw Al who immediately came down from his grandmother's sling approaching the father with his cheerful face. Satria also widened her smile.

Satria immediately greeted her mother-in-law and her mother. It was clearly visible on the face of the mama, if the middle-aged woman was feeling happy.

Satria sat on the edge of his mother's mattress while still holding Al. While Raina was standing next to her husband, she changed into Riska's mother who was sitting next to her iron chair.

"Dad, Dad, this is Nyenyek Al. This no nyenyek Al. Kan, right? (Dad, Dad, this is Al's grandmother. This isn't Al.'s grandmother)" Al's voice broke the awkward atmosphere.

Al, holding his father's cheeks, told his father who his grandmother was and who was not his grandmother by pointing one at Riska's mother and Santi's mother. As if asking for an answer that what he said was true to his father. With that adorable funny expression and also while nodding his head made Satria laugh a little at Al's innocent behavior.

"Daddy's smart son. Yes, this is Al's grandmother and this one is Mbah Utinya Al." said Satria as she gently rubbed the adorable boy's head.

"No, no, nyenyek yes. That's all, yeah. (Not my grandmother, yes. Uti aja, yes)." said Al with his innocent face and again nodded his head every time he spoke.

"Yes, honey. Al already loves Uti, hasn't he?" ask Satria.

Al looked back at Mbah Utinya, then shook his head in response.

"Why?" ask Satria again.

"Follow. (Fear)" replied Al.

"Why Al, scared? Mbah Uti is also kind, just like his grandmother Al." Satria tried to explain to her son to embrace his mother.

"Thu, tatut. Utik, utik, iiihhh. (That, fear. Injecting, injecting, iiihhh.)" Al replied shuddering in horror as he pointed at the infusion that was still stuck in his mbah hand.

Satria patted her forehead because she had mistakenly guessed. He thought that if this boy was afraid of his mother, Al was afraid of his mother's infusion.

Everyone laughed at Al's adorable behavior.

"But, if Mbah Uti has not used it, Al would love Mbah Uti?" ask Raina.

"Law. (Mau)" Al answered steadily and made Santi's mother smile at the response from her grandson.

"Later if Mbah has released infusan, hug Mbah yo, Le .. later Mbah invites Al to play in the mall, if Mbah is healthy" said Santi's mother was excited.

Al just nodded his head while stomping his buttocks on his father's lap.

"What about Mamah now?" satria asked her mother.

"Alhamdulilah, Mamah is better now. Moreover, upon seeing the arrival of Mamah's puffed-up granddaughter, Mamah was more and more eager to recover" replied Santi's mother with a confident smile.

"Alhamdulilah ..." said Satria.

"Oh yes, sorry I can only bring this." said Ms. Riska while taking a fruit parcel basket from Raka and put it on the nightstand.

"It's okay, Mom. With your presence alone, I am very grateful for coming here to see me. I'm ashamed of my mother's family, I've been nasty with my mother's son. But, mother still wanted to come to visit and let me to continue to meet with my grandchild" said Santi's mother again remembered her mistake.

"Already, Mom. The past, let it pass. Don't remember back. Most importantly, we live in peace. And our children's households are always getting along and serene." replied Ms Riska heartened to forgive her irony.

"Thank you, Mom." said Santi's mother as she patted Riska's mother's back.

Riska's mother replied by holding warm the hand of her son's in-law and giving a friendly smile.

Raina wiped away the tears that had accidentally dripped suddenly as she was moved to watch her mother and in-laws forgive each other. Likewise with Satria who felt relieved and happy, because his mother was willing to open her heart and regret the mistakes that have been made mamahnya.
