A Glimpse of Light For Raina

A Glimpse of Light For Raina
POV Mas A Cloud



This morning I left for work early, because of the morning shift. I work as a barista in a restaurant and cafe owned by my aunt Eva, her name is the sister of my mother.


I ride my favorite motorcycle, breathe fresh morning air and have not been exposed to too much pollution. Just came out of the gate of the house where I live, suddenly my bike broke down and did not want to turn on again.


"Ah ... damn why do you use a strike event all the way," I swear on the motorcycle in front of me.


I lead my motorcycle to find the nearest workshop.


"Luckily, someone has opened" my mind when I saw the workshop at the crossroads.


I'm waiting for my motorcycle to be repaired. Restlessly I lyrically my watch.


"Now long, Bang?" I asked the mechanic who fixed my motorcycle.


"Yes .. about twenty minutes away, Mas," replied the mechanic.


"Oh, don't go hunting, no, Bang, what if I just stay, bang? I'll be home from work in the afternoon" I said.


"Oh, yes, it's okay" replied the mechanic.


I rushed to find public transport that was in line with my goal.


"Finally ... there is also a passing" my mind.


Soon I got into the public transport. Soon, there was a girl in school uniform who was also riding the same public transport as me. Apparently, he was in a hurry too.


"Sweet girl" I muttered with a smile of my own looking at the girl.


For some reason since the first meeting on public transport, I've been curious to get to know him.


And it turns out he went to the same school as my cousin's sister. And I decided that in a few days during the morning shift, I was waiting for the girl at the same terminal when I met her. Sure enough, he always took public transportation to go to his school.


I also always follow him by riding the same public transport, sitting in the back passenger seat to make it easier to see him. However, even up to this moment I still did not have the courage to approach him directly. Just watching her in silence like this I was happy.


Some days I work in the day shift, so can't see the girl again. Until one day, I saw the same girl sitting alone in the restaurant chair. I who was just coming out of the toilet unconsciously looked at him. Half unable to believe what I was seeing, I turned my back on making sure by continuing to look at her.


Is it because it is just a coincidence or is the goddess Fortuna again siding with me today ? The girl looked at me and our eyes met. I could only sit still looking at him. When he turned his face away, I realized that it was him. The girl in the public transport.


My smile expanded, I returned to the kitchen to continue my activities.


A few hours later, my cousin Sandra came to me. He said he would introduce his friend to me.


"Is it possible that the friend Sandra meant was the girl ?" my duty in heart.


Yes, it's true my guess. The girl standing at the kitchen entrance turned out to be my cousin's sister's friend. How happy I felt today, luck approached me. It's very easy for me to get information about the girl from my cousin.


That sweet little girl is called Raina. I will give my hand to meet him immediately.


" The cloud" I said with a smile and extended my hand to her.


" Raina "replies with a charming smile that makes me misbehave.


I went back to doing my activities, making coffee and some drinks for the guest order. I only heard the talk of two friends who were beside me.


"The cloud has been working here for a long time. He is very good at making coffee or other drinks. What's again? the milkshake you drank was Rai," Sandra said of myself to Raina.


"It's very clever of my cousin to promote her brother" my inner self and I smiled at Sandra's words.


"You told me about San" Raina said.


How cute Raina's face with her lips like that made me even more anxious to see her.


"That's right, just before meeting the person, now you've met directly. Who knows? you want to try making milkshakes taught by Mas Awan" Sandra said.


When I heard Sandra offer Raina to learn how to make drinks with me, I was so excited. Maybe, with this we can get closer.


"Ekh .. yes, Mom, thank you. Seriously, can I try? but at this hour, I have to go home soon" Raina said as it let me down a bit.


The beloved grandchildren arrived, maybe it was a suitable proverb to describe the current state. Upon hearing Raina refuse to be driven home by Sandra, I quickly offered to go home together.


It's like I'm playing my heart guess today. How not? I was disappointed that Raina did not learn to make drinks with me and now I have a chance to take her home.


"Bareng same as me Rai, how? Soon it's change of shift, I can go home" I said to offer Raina.


Like I know what my heart means, with my cousin's sister persuading her best friend.


"Eh .. yes, Rai, may, Mas Awan solicitation. Your house, right. Although it is further away your home .. hhe" said Sandra.


However, Raina did not immediately answer my offer or respond to Sandra's persuasion. He was still silent at the mouth debate between me and Sandra.


At last, he opened his voice as well. Feeling unheeded by his friend. And again my heart was made to wonder by him.


"You guys don't want me first, do I want to be delivered by Mas Awan? From now on, you answered Mulu San, who wants to go home to me," said Raina.


I glanced at Sandra who chuckled and apologized to Raina.


"He ... he .. he .. sorry .. sorry .. sorry, how do you want to be with Mas Awan?" ask Sandra.


"Yes, is that okay? if Mas Awan doesn't feel like I'm bothered," replied Raina at the time who seemed a little hesitant.


Immediately I convinced her that I did not feel bothered by her, but I was very happy.


"So, Rai, let's say goodbye to Aunt Eva, this is my working hours are up" I said as I asked her to say goodbye to Aunt Eva.


On the way home, he didn't talk much. Although, I asked him a few questions.


"Rai, have you been friends with Sandra for a long time?" my many.


"Yes, from the beginning of entering SMK" he answered briefly.


"Lumayan lama too, means you have twelve donk class, where do you want to go to college?" ask again.


"Still do not know Mas, maybe I will work first" he replied.


I just nodded my head hearing her answer. Not feeling, my motorcycle has entered the alley to Raina's house. The road is not all smooth, there are still many rocks that I often incandescent until I often brake small and make Raina hug my body.


At first glance I can see the look of his face that is shy behind the rearview mirror. The red spray on her cheeks adds to her beauty.


"He .. sorry Mas, this is close, it's my house painted green" Raina said with a clumsy smile on her lips and turned my gaze to the small house she pointed at.


I stopped right in front of a simple green house surrounded by ornamental plants that add to its beauty.


"Thank you, Mom, for taking me home. Where the road is still ugly again." said Raina slightly smiling while holding back the look of a face that was embarrassed.


"It's okay, Rai, you relax" I replied and returned a smile.


I was still sitting on my motorcycle, hoping Raina would invite me to stop by for a while at her house. But what I expected didn't happen, I was too big.


"I ... go in first, Mas," he said.


"Oh, yes .. please Rai, I also want to go straight home," I replied while turning the direction of my bike.


In my heart, I am tickled at my own attitude.


"It's okay, maybe not for now but next time I can conquer your heart, Rai" my inner self.


I drove my motorcycle, smiling satisfied to meet again with the girl I had been looking for all this time.
