A Glimpse of Light For Raina

The POV Sandra 2

My mind is still not calm.

"What about Raina above? Am I samperin is he there?"

Just as I was about to get out of my seat, Mother had already restrained me again.

"You're here, let Raina calm herself down." said Mother as if to understand my anxiety.

I sat back down, looking at her mother Raina who was already a little calmer.

"Don't you, Mom, drink the water first." said Mother to her mother Raina while thrusting a drink in front of her.

"Thank you, ma'am" he said and smiled to receive a drink from Mother.

"Hmmm, sorry Mom, what's wrong with Raina?" ask Mother carefully.

"Include me, my name is Riska, I am Raina's mother" he said, introducing himself to Mother.

"Ooo ...." Mommy is like a shock to hear the expression of her mother Riana, so that the mother is only joyful without welcoming a helping hand from her mother Raina.

"Bun, that's." I nudged Mother's arm and glanced towards the hand that was still outstretched.

Mother quickly grabbed the hand.

"Ehm, sorry, sorry, so daydream me. I am Eva the owner of this restaurant and next to me, Sandra is my son." said Mother while introducing myself.

I nodded my head and smiled kindly at him.

"You ... who was at that time plaza with Raina, right?" ask Ms. Riska to look at me.

"Hmmm, yes aunt. I'm Raina's best friend." I replied.

"Oh, so. I'm sorry it made you guys run after me. Actually, I wanted to stop for a while just to say hello to Raina, but my husband had a sudden need so we hurried and you died. And it's my fault that I didn't tell my husband whereabouts Raina at the time" she said.

Mother and I looked at each other.

"So, you're married again? Um, sorry." asked Mommy as she closed her mouth.

"Yes, Mom." replied Riska briefly while smiling at Mother.

"Actually I also know the news of the death of my ex-husband, his father Raina. But at that time I was not in this city I accompanied my husband's business trip in another city" he said.

Mother and I are loyal listeners.

"I know for a fact that children feel devastated over the death of their father. And I wasn't there during their hardest times. I'm really a useless mother to them" said Ms Riska who returned to shed her tears.

"Until this second, I still haven't had the courage to meet all of them, Mom. Surely they no longer want to accept me." said Riska's mother sniffled.

"In the beginning it must be heavy for them, but try slowly, surely they will melt by themselves. So did Raina, she just spilled all her anger, she would be willing to forgive mother because in fact she is a good child." said Mother strengthens Mother Riska.

Yes, I remain a loyal listener. Listening to the conversation of the two mothers in front of me at this moment.

"Mom should be proud to have a child like Raina, a child as strong and tough as Raina, who tried to be independent never want to trouble others. And she willingly buried her dreams temporarily so that her sister could continue her schooling. Until he finally worked here from the beginning after finishing the school exam until he received his diploma, he was now again struggling to find the cost for his own college." said Mother explained the situation that had happened with Raina.

"Oh my God, how hard they struggle, while my mother never knew what hardships they've faced without me." Looks like Miss Riska is very sorry for what she has done so far.

"Now Mom, go back to them. Because the rest of the mothers are their only parents now. Slowly but surely, everything will be beautiful in time." said Mother again reminded Mother Riska.

"Tomorrow is Raina's eighteenth birthday, I will make Raina happy and smile again" Riska's mother said excitedly.

Mommy and I can also feel the deep longing of Mother Riska.

"Son Sandra, please tell Raina that I've completely changed. I miss them so much and I love them all so much" Ms Riska told me.

"Well Auntie, I will definitely convey it to Raina" I said.

"Sana, look at Raina. Has he started to improve or not?" said Mother.

I nodded my head and left the two mothers still telling me downstairs.

*******

I opened the office door, I looked around quietly, Raina was already asleep on the sofa.

"Maybe he's tired of mostly crying." I muttered.

I stepped into her chair while watching my best friend who was lulled in her dreams.

"*Raina, how did you get through your toughest days? Maybe if I were in your position, I wouldn't be able to and wouldn't be as strong as you, Rai.

I promise, Rai, I'll help you get the affection of a mother again*."

Seriate

Sorry if my writing is not good. I will continue to learn and learn to improve.
