A Glimpse of Light For Raina

Prejudice Ridho

After a few minutes of eating and taking fever-lowering medication, Raina fell asleep again. All went out leaving Raina back to sleep.

**********

Ridho Residence.

In the room Ridho smiled to himself, imagining his date plan with Raina which will start tomorrow to the next few days.

"What's the first, now he? Did I just call, huh? All I can do is make sure she doesn't run away from her date." muttered Ridho with a happy smile.

Ridho picked up the flat object lying on the nightstand, immediately he searched for Raina's name on his phone contact list and started the call.

A few seconds later the call was connected, but there was no answer from across it. Ridho called again, but the results were still the same. Until the tenth call there was still no answer at all.

The smile that had been expanding now disappeared changed with a gloomy face holding back the irritation.

"You try to play with me, just be careful if you dare to break the promise!" Ridho.

**********

Raina woke up from her sleep after she heard her cell phone ringing. But not for how long when Raina was about to pick up the flat object her ringing sound had stopped.

Raina stared at her mobile screen, about ten missed calls on behalf of Ridho. After that, Raina switched to her social media app so many notifications came in, Raina looked at them one by one and scrolled from the ground up.

Lots of status updates from his cyberspace friends, whether it is about their activities they post or their outpouring of writings and there are also funny writings and videos that they upload, making Raina feel entertained by the jokes they make.

After being felt enough to surf in cyberspace, Raina quit the application and switched to a green chat application. Raina feels something is awkward with the content of the chat between herself and Aldo. She never sent a message to her sister.

After she remembered her mother's words when she had just arrived, she realized that the clouds had made a false notice about her staying at Sandra's house.

"It is fitting that Aldo's mother and sister are not worried about me, it turns out that the savage man had anticipated it first."

Seemed a deep hatred in Raina's eyes with the man she no longer wanted to say his name.

After seeing the contents of the chat, Raina saw the status created by her best friend Sandra who had just uploaded it to the green application. In the photo it is like there is a large family gathering.

Looking happy family, Raina's eyes stopped on one of the photos where there were seen Clouds who also participated in the family event.

"Aarrggghhhhh! I hate you! Hate it! Hate it!"

Raina really couldn't hold back her emotions. Recollecting how Cloud apologized to him, smiling kindly at him, but all just a pretense.

"If I had refused the drink he gave me, I would still be holy. Why Rai? You're too easily fooled." Raina came back crying.

While outside the room, Ms. Riska and her two sons are preparing for dinner.

"Do you hear me, there's another voice crying?" ask Riska's mother to her firstborn while sharpening her hearing.

Aldo and Raka looked at each other and listened as his mother did.

"Yes, right, Mom. It seems to be from the direction of Raina's room." replied Raka.

"Yes, Mom. Try Aldo look first into his room" said Aldo as he stepped into Raina's room.

The closer the clearer the sound of sobbing cries. And Aldo was more and more convinced that his little sister was crying.

Slowly she opened the door to Raina's unlocked room, seeing her sister sitting on the floor leaning against the edge of the mattress while hugging her father's figura.

Aldo was sitting right next to Raina.

Raina just nodded her head and immediately hugged her older brother.

"Here, don't cry anymore. Tomorrow we go on a pilgrimage to your father's grave, huh?" take Aldo while stroking his sister's hair gently.

**********

The next morning, everyone was ready to do their thing. Not with Raina who still looks limp in her room.

Riska's mother approached her daughter.

"If you still feel bad, you should not go to work first, son. Later the mother will ask permission to Eva's mother." said Ms. Riska.

"No need, Mom. Let Raina ask permission herself." Raina replied quickly.

She did not want her mother to call Eva's mother, Raina was afraid that her mother would ask about her staying at Sandra's house at that time.

After calling Eva's mother for permission, Raina returned to rest after filling her stomach and taking her medicine.

A few moments later, the phone rings again. Raina saw the screen of her mobile phone there is a name Ridho listed there. He refused to answer the call. Because he knew, that Ridho would ask for a plan for his date. At the moment Raina does not want to meet other men other than with her two brothers.

**********

Meanwhile, in another place, Ridho looks riled because every phone call is always rejected by Raina.

"OKs. If you don't want to pick up my phone, I'll take you forcibly" Ridho said with a cynical smile.

Ridho was already in his car, driving forward the four-wheeled vehicle on a road that is not too crowded.

A few minutes later, he arrived at his destination. Ridho went straight in and headed for the cashier table and receptionist.

"Excuse me Ma'am, I want to see Raina. Can you show me where the office is?" ask Ridho.

"The office is on the second floor, Mas. The mas can pass here." replied Desi who is on guard duty today, she showed me the stairs that are located at the end of the corridor.

"Thank you." said Ridho as he left the cashier's desk.

But just a few steps Ridho walked, Desi had already called out to him again. Desi recalled Eva's mother's message telling her that Raina was sick and not working.

"Mas, Mas, sorry ... Today Raina did not go to work." said Desi.

"Ehm, don't go to work. Why?" ask Ridho curious.

"Raina is sick." Desi replied.

"OKs. Thanks for the info." said Ridho and passed out the restaurant.

Ridho was behind his wheel.

"Is it because he's sick, so he won't pick up my phone, will he? Or it's his wits to cancel this deal" he murmured.
