A Glimpse of Light For Raina

Negotiate

Sandra's car sped at normal speed through the traffic jam. Lots of riders then crawl slowly to be able to penetrate the dense streets.

Hustle and bustle of a city full of workers who have just left their jobs, bringing a million tired who want to get home so they can rest and regroup with their families at home.

Finally, the car can penetrate the dense road, speeding quickly and arrive at the gate of the village housing crowded with middle-to-lower economic community.

The car stopped in front of a simple house. Yes, this is my home, a shelter that holds a million memories in it.

"Almost yuk, San." take me out of the car.

"Next time, Rai. Want to go straight back my body is very hot, nih." said Sandra.

"Ehm, okay. Thank you, San." I said with a smile.

"Yes, equally. Already, get in there." reply her.

"Yes, yeah, you're careful, yeah" I said the last time before Sandra left my house.

I walked into the house.

It feels so tired these days, tired of heart and mind. Draining feelings and emotions, hopefully all there is a good point.

"Accoland ...."

"Goddessalam ... Sis Raina seems tired today, more work yes, sister." said Raka who was cool watching in the family room.

"Yes, that's it, Dek. How's your school?" Stop for a moment, meet Raka.

"Alhamdulilah, smoothly, brother." he said.

"Good, right school, don't mess around" I told Raka.

"Ready, Brother. Raka won't abuse my dear brothers." she replied reassuringly.

"Sister to the room first yes, Dek." said I left Raka who was still cool with his spectacle.

I threw my body in the mattress, took a break. I looked up at the ceiling of my room, thinking and recalling all Sandra's words about my mother.

I have to pass it all on to Aldo and Raka. They must have missed mom too.

A smile was etched on my lips, imagining that my mother had completely changed and would come back with all of us.

Tonight, Aldo and Raka have no activities outside the house. So, the three of us can do congregational prayers, dinner and of course can gather together in the family room.

"Sister Aldo, Raka, since the three of us can all gather here, there's something Raina wants to talk to you about." I ventured to open my voice.

"What do you want to say, Rai? It looks serious." said Kak Aldo enthusiastically want to listen to his continuation.

"Sir, what do you want from Brother?" said Kak Aldo chimed in the words of Raka.

I forgot myself, if tomorrow is my birthday.

"Ehm, Raina doesn't want to discuss birthday matters, it's more important than that" I said.

"What's more important?" asked Raka while furrowing her brows.

While Brother Aldo looked at me with a question mark.

"It's about mom." I said hesitantly.

"Mother" The two of them answered simultaneously and looked at each other.

"Yes, it's about mom. Raina has met my mother twice" I said while watching the expressions of the two people in front of me.

"You've met my mom twice, but why are you talking now?" sis Aldo asked starting a little with emotion.

"Yes, first, Raina sees the mother in the plaza when Raina buys a mobile phone but at that time the mother only sees Raina at a glance and continues to walk regardless of Raina's call. And secondly, Raina met her mother in person today at the restaurant" I said.

"So, you've met the woman in person. Does he still recognize you as his son?" said Kak Aldo with emotions that began to increase.

"Yes, I still know Raina" I said.

I explained everything that had happened today and relayed everything I had talked to Sandra. Brother Aldo listened carefully despite the sight of anger appearing in his eyes, but the anger slowly disappeared after hearing all the explanations from me

While Raka, it seems like she is the one who has not been able to accept everything. It is very clear that there is still hatred in his eyes. Where he is the child who lost the figure of a mother, lack of attention and affection from a mother at that time.

Aldo tried to give an extra explanation to Raka so that he would understand and accept the reality.

"At any time, I don't want to meet that person. All I know in my life is that there are only two brothers and a father who raised me with affection" Raka said.

"But, Deck, no matter how she is your mother who has conceived and given birth to you" I said as I gently touched her shoulder.

"If Raka can ask God, Raka does not want to be born from the womb of a mother like her" said Raka reawakened Kak Aldo's emotions.

"Take care of your words Raka. You never learned that we are all so vindictive children." insisted Aldo.

Full of debate and fighting between Kak Aldo and Raka. Until finally, Raka was devastated. And tonight's deal, the three of us are willing to accept mother back with a sincere heart.
