A Glimpse of Light For Raina

Unexpected Meeting 1

As always, going to and coming home from school I always faithfully wait for public transportation. I stood in front of the school looking at the public transport passing by, waiting in the direction of my destination.

"Raina .. with me yuk, go home?" take Sandra who just came out riding her iron horse. Yeah, Sandra drives her own vehicle.

"Gak ah .. Besides, we're not in the same direction." I refused.

"Yes, it's not, but I want to take you to my mom's restaurant. Mau ya, please ..." persuaded him while putting his palms together pleading.

"Well .. I can at least refuse if I see you put up a face like this." I replied and immediately rode on his motorcycle.

Sandra only smiled triumphantly because she managed to persuade me.

Sandra propelled her matic motor with agility. The journey from school to the restaurant owned by the mother was only about fifteen minutes and did not feel now we have arrived at the restaurant parking lot.

Sandra held my hand and we walked into the restaurant. This is the first time Sandra has brought me here.

"Wah ... very good .. This must be the place where rich people eat." My inner village.

I was impressed by the atmosphere in this room that was so warm and comfortable. Resto that carries a classic and modern feel is perfect for family relaxation and a place to hang out young people.

"You wait here, Rai! I'm going to your mom's office first" Sandra said, leaving myself.

"Yes, San" I replied

I sat in the chair facing the kitchen and looked around again. And subconsciously my net stopped on a handsome man who was watching me and our gazes met each other.

I immediately turned my face the other way. Shortly afterwards Sandra came with her mother.

"I'm sorry, Rai, long wait .." said Sandra.

"Yes, it's okay, San, just relax" I replied.

"Bun, you know, this is Raina, Sandra's schoolmate who Sandra used to tell her, Bun" Sandra said, introducing herself to her mother.

The simple and very graceful hijab-wearing woman looked at me and smiled at me. What an unpretentious woman even though she is a person but her appearance is still simple as Sandra who never shows off her wealth. At first glance, his age is as good as mother's.

Ah .. I remember that woman who had heartily abandoned her children.

"Raina, Auntie," I returned her smile and shook my hands in reverence.

"I'm Eva, Sandra's mother. A pretty name like her face." She praised me and smiled back.

I smiled embarrassed to hear his praise.

"Not only his face, Bun, who is beautiful, but his heart is also beautiful." said Sandra chimed in her mother's speech.

"Ah, this you, San, is too much. In fact ... You are very amazingly good" I replied to Sandra's words with a reply to her praise.

"You ... Don't eat or drink first?" ask Mother Eva.

"Ehm .. don't need aunty, thank you. I want to go straight home." I replied with a sense of arrogance.

"Well ... well, right .. his habit is Bun, likes to push the wind" said Sandra.

"Can't do that, dear ... The name of the windfall, can't be refused in any form. Because the windfall is coming from anywhere without us expecting." replied Mother Eva in a gentle tone advising me.

"Tuh, listen Rai, what did my mother say? Some of you want any message here no problem really, free for you." replied Sandra.

"Eh, don't do it donk, San .. I'm not feeling well, if this is the way .." I replied very unkindly with the kindness of Sandra and her mother.

"Have ... do not feel hesitant, just think of this mother, a second mother for you and Sandra is also your brother." replied Mother Eva who immediately embraced me like her own child.

Unknowingly, these tears flowed from hearing his words so good that he wanted to consider me his son too.

"Have .. don't have to be mebek, Rai, ... Mommy already knows all about you." replied Sandra casually.

"Thank you so much everyone. Somehow I have to repay the kindness of Mother and Sandra" I said thankfully while wiping away tears.

"You should try food and drinks at this restaurant Rai" Sandra invited to melt the atmosphere.

"He .. em," I could only nod and could no longer refuse Sandra's offer.

I just looked and agreed to whatever Sandra offered me. After a few minutes of flipping through the menu book and choosing, Sandra finally decided to order some food and drinks with a very foreign menu name for me. Understandably, this is the first time in my life I can eat at a restaurant like this because usually I only see on television.

After half an hour of waiting, the food was finally ready to be served at the dinner table. I was shocked to see so much good food in front of me.

"San .. You didn't get the wrong message? It's a lot, you know?" many of you are confused to see the various menus presented.

"So, really, we're three." Sandra replied casually as she took her food.

"Yes, I know the three of us, but this is mostly San. Are you the same parent you can spend all this on ?" I still have confusion.

"Here you go, at the meal." answered Sandra while Mother Eva just smiled at my behavior.

While I was still silent looking at all these dishes.

"How can I eat well like this? while my two brothers only eat instant noodles at home." My inner.

"Why, Honey? is the food still being seen?" mother Eva asked to break my silence.

"Ehm ... Raina can't eat all this Bun, it's too fancy for Raina." I replied innocently.

"It's partly for you to take home, honey," replied Mother Eva as if she knew my thoughts.

"One more time thank you very much, Mother." I said.

"Yes, honey, you're welcome .. Come on, now eaten!" replied Mother Eva and again told me to eat.

"Yes, Bun" I said as I began to put food in my mouth.

"Ehm .. It's really good San iced chocolate" I told Sandra after drinking iced chocolate.

"That's your favorite chocolate milkshake" Sandra replied.

"But how, it feels different, San, the same one that is sold in the school cafeteria?" ask me innocently.

"Yes, it is clearly different, Rai, .. who in school is made the same amateur. Well, if here made according to the standards of our restaurant with baristas who are experts in the field of drinks." answered Sandra explained.

I just nodded my head at Sandra's explanation.

"Later to know you, same barista at this restaurant. It just so happens that he's still my cousin, even if he's just a distant cousin. He's young, maybe the same age as your brother, Rai" Sandra said.

"May, eat this out, yes" I replied asserting Sandra's invitation.

"Ok" said Sandra.

A few minutes later after eating,

"San, I'm going to the toilet first" I said

"Oh, that's the left toilet before the kitchen. If so, I go to the kitchen first, yes, you will immediately follow me." replied Sandra

"Sip, deh." I replied.

After the toilet, I immediately followed Sandra who had first gone to the kitchen. Just a few steps into the kitchen, I saw Sandra standing next to the drinking table with a man who was busy making drinks.

"Well, that's ... that guy?" batin asked.
