A Glimpse of Light For Raina

Pregnancy Signs

Raina thought back to Gina. Raina grabs a nearby phone, opens a search app and types something about the signs of pregnancy.

Some of the signs were like the ones he had experienced these few days. Starting from like to feel tired, often dizzy, moods that often change to nausea that sometimes torment her.

Raina increasingly feels anxiety in her, considering that she has not yet got her period.

"Oh my God, why are all the signs the way I'm going now? Maybe ... I'll really disappear from this earth if that happens."

Raina goes back to reading the health articles she opened, she finds out how to prove if she is pregnant or not.

In the article it mentions can use a pregnancy test kit in the form of a test pack or by directly consulting with an obstetrician.

After she thought, she couldn't have come to the gynecologist, so she chose to try it out using a test pack.

Time keeps rolling, arrive when the hours come home from work. It is expected by all employees. Raina immediately rushed to clean up all her supplies and walked out of the room.

Raina decided to stop by the pharmacy to buy the pregnancy test kit first.

Raina's motorcycle has pulled over at a pharmacy. Raina parked her first, before she entered the dispensary. Raina stepped anxiously into the dispensary, surrounding the shelves that contained a row of various drugs. Raina's eyes continued to pay close attention, looking for where the object she needed was.

Meanwhile, the dispensary officials noticed Raina's behavior that was like confusion looking for something.

"Excuse me, Ma'am .. Can I help you?" praamuniaga said it was friendly.

"Ehm, I'm looking for a pregnancy test" Raina said nervously.

Then the salesman walked up to the row of drug shelves, then stopped on one of the shelves and took something from the shelf.

"What is this thing you're looking for?" ask the salesperson while handing over a small box that says the pregnancy test is 99% accurate.

Raina received the object and scrunched her forehead while reading the writing on the wrapping box.

"Please Mbak, make his payment at the cashier" said Pramuniaga again with his friendly.

Raina walked towards the cashier who had been appointed by the saleswoman. After making the payment Raina immediately walked towards the exit of the pharmacy.

Raina was shocked when she saw a person she had once known. He is Satria, the older brother of the man who has robbed him of his honor as well as the older cousin of his best friend.

"Mas ... Satria ..." said Raina.

Satria only grinned faintly and looked at the girl standing before him. While Raina shuddered at the sharp gaze given by Satria.

"Buy medicine?" asked the man who had a sharp gaze as sharp as that eagle.

"I-iya, Mas." Raina replied with a faint smile.

Raina lied about the things she had bought. He felt that it was impossible for him to speak honestly if he was buying a pregnancy test kit on Satria.

Another thing with Satria, she already knows if Raina is lying. Because she had heard Raina talk with the saleswoman earlier when Raina was confused to find the location of the item she would buy.

"I went back first, Mas." said Raina quickly.

"Yes, please." replied Satria while nodding her head allowing Raina to leave.

Satria went to the dispensary to make up for the medicine for her mother who had now been lying weakly due to her heart disease. As the Clouds left the house, her mother fell ill from thinking too much about her son, who had no news at all.

Raina had arrived at her house, she rushed into her room. The house is quiet, his mother and sister are still busy at the cake shop while Aldo has not returned to work.

Raina quickly cleaned her body and changed clothes, then immediately rushed to the kitchen to pick up food. Raina deliberately ate first, so that if she felt nauseous in the middle of her meal no one would see her.

Raina hastily finished her food despite the nausea, but she tried to keep eating.

After that, Raina went back inside the room and locked her up. Raina picked up the thing she had bought in the bag. Then he read the way his use has been attached behind the wrapping box.

Meanwhile, outside the house, Raka and Ibu Riska have finished serving consumers and cleaning their stores before closing. Raka saw her sister's motorcycle parked in the yard of her house.

Riska's mother has just realized that her daughter has returned home.

"Your brother's home? It seems we are too busy to realize that your sister has arrived at home" Riska's mother said as she stepped into her home. Raka was following her mother into the house.

Evening arrived, Riska's mother and her two sons had gathered for dinner. But, not with his daughter who from the afternoon did not show her nose.

"Where's Raina, Mom?" ask Aldo.

"Raina's still in her room. From this afternoon he did not come out of his room." replied Riska's mother.

Aldo who heard his mother's explanation only shook his head.

"Why else is he?" muttered Aldo.

Aldo stood up from his seat and intended to call his sister.

Aldo held the door handle and wanted to open it, but it was locked from the inside.

"Rai .. This is Brother. Come on, have dinner." take Aldo.

Raina opens her bedroom door when she hears Aldo's voice in front of her room.

"Raina's eating, sister. You're the only one who ate dinner, Raina is still full" Raina said.

"When did you eat it? While your mother said you were not out of the room from this afternoon." asked Aldo with a probing look.

"Back work, Raina ate right away, sister. Raina was starving. If Raina forcibly eats again it could stretch this stomach." Raina replied with a slight laugh.

"Oh .. fine." Aldo finally gave up on persuading his sister to join the dinner.

Aldo returned to the dining table to resume his dinner.

"Will she eat together again?" ask Riska's mother who saw Aldo back without Raina.

"Yes. He said he had eaten this afternoon after work and now he still feels full" Aldo replied.

"Last morning skipping breakfast together, now even dinner he's not with us. What's with your sister?" ask Ms. Riska.

Aldo just shrugged his shoulders a sign he also didn't know what was going on with his sister. All eating in silence, they assume each other about Raina's unusual behavior.

The night is getting late, the atmosphere of silence is only the heartbeat of the wall clock that breaks the silence in the house. All have gone to sleep and sailed with their own dreams.

But not with Raina, she's still awake. Anxiety and fear become one. The incident, like a video recording played back in his memory. Raina closed her eyes for a moment and then reopened them.

I don't think time shows at one in the morning. Raina remembered what she was going to do. Raina got up from her bed, picked up the flat object she had prepared and then by slowly exiting the room to head to the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Raina had already accommodated her urine in a small container that she had obtained from the box she had bought. Raina carefully inserted the small flat object that she had been holding into the container that had been filled with her urine.

A few minutes later, her hand pulled out the flat object from inside the container, Raina closed her eyes for a moment before she saw the results of the thing she was holding.

His fear grew stronger and stronger into his body, with slowly exhaling his breath along with his eyes starting to open.

Raina stared at the pregnancy test kit, when her knees weakened unable to support her weight, Raina was sitting limp in the bathroom, to cry even she had no strength.

Her crying voice was muffled with her deep heartache. Two deep red lines were clearly visible within the small object. There was nothing he could do but just his tears talking about his destruction.

"How do I explain this to my mother, Aldo's brother, Raka and Sandra."
