A Glimpse of Light For Raina

Raina's Birthday 2

"Where do you like it?" ask Aldo

"Raina likes it, sister. But isn't this an exaggeration?" I asked Aldo back.

"Sir, brother deliberately overtime so that he can buy you this. So that you are easier anywhere, what else you will go to college. So there is no need to ride the angkot continuously, so it can be more efficient, right. It's a second, but it's all still well-groomed. And of course his brother cash is not in installments." explained Kak Aldo.

" Thank you very much, Brother Aldo, Raka" I said.

I look at the matic motorcycle given by Kak Aldo, his hard work during overtime work. The eldest brother who always thought about and gave his best to his younger siblings.

I am so grateful to have brothers who have always been there and supported each other.

Things are back to normal, died this morning. Raka is getting ready to go to school, Aldo will go to work as well as myself.

It's the first day I don't shake hands with Kak Aldo anymore, and the first day riding my own motorcycle given by Kak Aldo.

Yes, in middle school I learned to ride a motorcycle and it was my father who taught me. Because the motorcycle we have is only one, so only brother Aldo can use it.

And today, I've been given permission by Brother Aldo to drive his own.

"Nih, the letters are stored properly not to be lost. Oh, yes, lunch will be taken care of your SIM, yes. There are friends who help there" said Kak Aldo while handing me motorcycle ownership papers.

"Ok, Brother." I reply.

"Cie, so the story of handover, nih. Can donk, Raka takes a new motorcycle to the terminal" said Raka teasing me.

"Hehehe, of course you can, donk." I said as I ruffled Raka's hair.

"Hey, Brother Raina! Messy again, right, my hair." Raka grumbled while tidying her hair.

"You can go with Raina, as long as Raina is driving her instead of you" Kak Aldo warned Raka.

"Aaiiihh, Brother Aldo .. tau aja deh." said Raka limp.

We went together for a different purpose. I put my matic motorcycle through the road that has begun to be crowded with other riders.

I stopped at a public transport terminal, where I used to live like Raka.

"No, first, Deck. You are diligent school." I said to Raka who is still waiting for public transportation.

I put my motorcycle on, enjoyed the crowded city streets, the sound of the horns of other vehicles that want to precede the deafening.

"Quite agile also turned out I was driving his canyon, even though he had never driven in the city at all." I commend myself.

On the sidelines of riding a motorcycle, my eyes accidentally turned to a middle-aged mother sitting on the sidewalk while holding a small child.

"Like her mom was selling." I muttered.

Soon I got on my motorcycle, approached the mother.

"Excuse me, I'm selling, okay?" ask that mother.

"Yes, Son. I sell this." The mother showed me the pile of napkins she was selling.

I stand before him, not focused on the mother's trade but with his eyes. Apparently he had a disturbance in his vision.

"How much, ma'am." I asked

"Five thousand rupiah, son, the fifth of it" said the mother.

I took some of the napkin and paid more than the price I was supposed to pay.

"Sorry son, I haven't given it back" he said.

"Not at the gozul, ma'am. More take it for this sister." I said.

Maybe this is a better way to buy his merchandise so that he does not feel insulted. Grieving and sharing with others is beautiful. But remember, give in the right way.

After a little conversation with the mother, I also decided to go to work. I was quite touched to hear his story. Not to forget, he offered so many prayers of kindness to me.

"May he always be given health in order to continue to be able to provide for his children in a lawful way." my inner.

All the way I smiled happily. Until I realized that the money I used to buy napkin cloth was money to take care of the SIM later in the day.

Until I arrived at the restaurant parking lot, I still laughed at myself, this forgetful one.

"Hahaha, let it be put off while taking care of the Sim, the important thing is that I have the intention to give alms earlier." I muttered.

Seriate...
