A Glimpse of Light For Raina

Mother's Return

Tin...Tin...Tin...Tin..

The sound of a car horn that stopped right in front of Raina's house.

Raka immediately ran to pieces from inside the house. See whose car surprised him.

"Mother" he muttered, and immediately approached his mother's car.

"Son, please help me take out all the items in the car trunk" said Ms. Riska when she saw Raka's arrival.

"Good, Mom."

Raka helps her mother get out all the things her mother brought and lifts her into her parents room.

"Aldo and Raina haven't come home yet?" ask Ms. Riska after realizing there was only her youngest child at home.

"No, Ma. Maybe soon." replied Raka while looking at the wall clock and again busy putting her mother's belongings into the room.

Ms. Riska walks out of the house, sitting on the front yard bench that Raina used to occupy when the afternoon came.

Some neighbors stood in front of the house, whispering and looking at Raina's house.

"That's it, Miss Riska. What's he gonna do in this house again? Not that she's happy, so the wife of a rich man." said one mother.

"Maybe caught with an old wife, so she came back here. So don't be an actor" replied another mother again with her cynical tone. While the other mothers chimed in with laughter.

Apparently the news of his departure back then left a negative image for him. A lot of news of birds that are confusing are swallowed raw by the surrounding residents.

Riska's mother who realized that she was the topic of conversation mothers in front of her immediately moved from her seat and entered the house.

He sat quietly in the family room while observing the people who were talking about him from behind the window.

Shortly thereafter, the sound of a motorcycle roar entered the courtyard of the house. Aldo parked his motorbike, looking at a group of mothers who were still gathered in front of his house.

"Sorry, Mom, what's wrong? How about you look at my house?" ask Aldo who feels uncomfortable with the view in front of him.

"His mother Nak Aldo is back, huh?" ask one of them.

"Yes, Mom. Now I'm back again." Aldo replied casually with a smile.

"Get in care of her real mother. Fear will even seduce the fathers here. Kan, we are afraid that our husbands are taken equally as actors." said the other mothers again.

"Sorry, yes, Mom. Please also keep his mouth, so as not to carelessly talk. Better to take care of each mother's household, do not be a bounty." Aldo's reply, which was quite striking, made all the mothers feel irritated and left the place where they had gathered.

Aldo went into the house, found his mother sitting alone in the family room.

"Assalamualaikum ..." his greeting while kissing his mother's hands full of reverence.

"Walaikumsalam, son." replied Riska's mother while gently stroking her son's head.

Her shady eyes portraying sadness made Aldo ask about her mother's circumstances.

"Are you okay?" ask Aldo.

"Yes, Son. I'm fine." Riska's mother smiled trying to hide her sadness.

"Mother must have heard the words of the mothers gathered in front of you, huh? Don't worry and don't be afraid as long as you don't do what they accuse you of. There are Aldo and the sisters here who will strengthen the mother" said Aldo hugging his mother warmly.

"Thank you, son."

"Raina hasn't come home yet?" aldo asked his mother.

"Yet. What time does he usually come home from work?" Riska's mother asked Aldo.

"It should have been sooner Raina came home than Aldo" Aldo said.

*******

While elsewhere....

"Why do motorcycle tires leak everything, anyway?" grouse Raina.

He looked back at his watch.

"It's already this hour, surely the house people are worried. Where the phone also died again, can not tell to brother Aldo." he murmured.

Raina again led her motorcycle, looking right and left of the road hoping to find a workshop that was still open or get help from someone.

Almost an hour Raina guided her motorcycle, but it did not appear at all the workshop expected. Raina was tired beside her motorcycle.

The sound of the car horn disperse Raina's daydream.

He looked at the car approaching him.

Someone got out of the car and approached him. Raina immediately stood up from her seat and looked at the person.

"Mas Ridho ..." said Raina.

"Why are you sitting there?" asked Ridho who approached him.

"Ehm, it's Mas, my motorcycle tyre was leaking from earlier I didn't see any signs of the workshop around here" Raina said as she pointed at her motorcycle.

"Ehm ...." Ridho just cleared his throat and took the phone out of his pants pocket and saw himself calling someone.

Raina looks awkward standing alone with Ridho who is already beside her. Different when the first time they met there was Sandra who melted the atmosphere.

Shortly after, someone came to use an online motorcycle. Apparently it was Ridho's man who had been contacted earlier.

"Sir please take care of this motorcycle" Ridho told the middle-aged man standing in front of him.

"Okay, Mommy." said the man.

"Where is your motor key, leave it to Mr. Pras. Believe me, tomorrow I make sure your motorcycle has been delivered to the restaurant where you work in good condition" Ridho assured Raina.

Raina finally handed over the keys to her motorcycle to Ridho's men.

"Come, I'll take you home. It's going to be night." said Ridho as he pulled Raina's arm to get into his car.

Sontak Raina was shocked by Ridho's sudden treatment.

"Sorry, Mas, I can go in by myself, really" said Raina while removing Ridho's handrails.

"Oh, yes, sorry." said Ridho who realized what he had done.

The car drove, down the city street in the day.

"Since when did you work for your mother?" tanya Ridho broke their silence.

"Since I finished the school exam" Raina said with focused eyes looking ahead.

"Oh ... Um, if I notice your face looks like someone, but who, huh?" asked Ridho while looking at Raina's face from the side.

Deg, man,

"Yes, of course I look like my mother." - Raina.

Raina just shrugged her shoulders, hinting that she also did not know the person Ridho was referring to.

********

Back home....

Dusk gradually became night, but the awaited never arrived. There was worry on the middle-aged woman's face. Who had been waiting for his daughter who had not come home.

"Aldo ... Aldo ... try calling your sister again!" he shouted from the living room.

"Yes, Mom."

Just as Aldo was about to call his sister, the sound of a car stopped in front of his house.

"Raina, is this really your home?" ask Ridho

"Yes, this is my house. Why?" Raina asked back and saw Ridho's gaze fixed on a car parked in the yard of his house.

Raina was aware of what she saw. He had guessed if Ridho knew whose car was parked in front of him. It's just that Raina is silent, as if she does not know what relationship Ridho has with the owner of the car.

Ibu Riska and Aldo came out of the house to see who was coming.

Raina got off the car followed by Ridho who wanted to make sure the middle-aged woman who was standing in front of the door.

Ridho's steps stopped, when his position was very close to Mother Riska and Aldo.

And how shocked Mother Riska was when she saw who was walking beside her daughter.
