A Glimpse of Light For Raina

Bitter Reality

Raina was already in her room, although upon entering the restaurant all the other employees eyes were staring at Raina with a hostile look as usual. But Raina did not bother with their attitude. Which will eventually know for itself. Only Gina still greeted Raina warmly.

Now all he has in mind is to strengthen his mental to face the possibilities of things that will happen later.

Raina began struggling with her work in front of the computer. There was a ringing sound of his cell phone that disperse his concentration of work.

Soon he picked up the flat object that was still inside his tote bag. Mother Eva's name is on her phone screen.

[City, assalamualaikum ... Bun]

[Walaikumsalam, are you working today?]

[Yes, Bun. This is now Raina again reporting yesterday]

[Ehm, what about yesterday's decision? Have you found the answer?]

Raina was silent for a moment and then took her breath slowly and exhaled her. Raina re-established her heart to give an answer.

[Rai, do you hear Mother?]

[Yes, Bun. Raina listen]

[Then how?]

[Bismhilton ... Raina is willing to accept Satria's mas] Raina replied steadily.

[Alhamdulillah ... Yes, Mother has closed her phone. Mommy wants to share this good news with Pakde Suseno.]

[Yes, Bun]

The call was terminated. There was a feeling of relief after Raina expressed her availability to marry Satria. Although he knows this marriage is only limited to being responsible for the baby in his birth in order to have a clear status. For the future let's walk according to his groove, that's what Raina had in mind. All has been handed over to the Lord of Life.

Elsewhere, Eva's mother informs Suseno and Satria of the good news she received from Raina. All gave thanks for the answer Raina had made. And hope this is the best decision for Satria and Raina.

Mother Eva was actually very hopeful that in the future Raina and Satria continue to live their marriage well, not because of Satria's sympathy alone who is responsible for the child conceived by Raina. Because Mother Eva more agree if Raina with Satria not with Awan, she is more familiar with the nature of her two nieces. Because he believes that Satria will make Raina happy.

**********

Satria who got the good news was immediately happy. I don't know why her heart is so flowery. Satria immediately took her cell phone to contact Raina.

Tut's.. Tut's.. Tut's..

[Hallo ... Who is it?]

[Hi, Raina .. It's me Satria. Thank you for giving your best answer]

[Oh .. ehm .. yes both]

[May we get through this together. Oh, yes .. later tonight after Maghrib I'm with Mr. Suseno will come to your house to discuss this with your mother and sister.]

[Ehm .. Raina will tell her mother.]

[Ok. See you tonight.]

The call ends, Satria looks at her watch. He'll fulfill his promise to meet his best friend at a cafe this afternoon.

He grabbed the key of his motorcycle and began to advance to the main road. Satria rushed to the cafe of the place already mentioned by Ridho.

Half an hour's drive he finally arrived at the place he was headed. Satria immediately parked her motorcycle and entered the cafe. Apparently he came early before Ridho. Satria chose the seat as usual, their favorite place if they were in the cafe.

Satria took out her cell phone from her pants pocket and contacted her best friend.

[Hallo, Sat ... why?]

[Pake nanya event why else. I've been at the cafe you said. The churn!]

While across there Ridho glanced at his watch.

[Hey .. I said it was lunchtime, it was morning.]

[Ok. I'll be there in fifteen minutes.]

The call was terminated. Ridho also relented to obey the will of his best friend. The distance between his office and the cafe where he met was not too far away.

In accordance with what he said, Ridho arrived at the cafe exactly fifteen minutes. Ridho went straight to the place he used to sit with Satria. As he expected Satria was already there enjoying a cup of his favorite warm Cappucino.

"Hi, Bro .." said Ridho while embracing Satria.

Satria also returned the embrace of his best friend and then they sat facing each other.

"What makes you want to meet me?" ask Satria.

"Eat first, just discuss it." replied Ridho as his hand waved to a sensitivity.

The servant also approached the table occupied by Ridho and Satria.

"Please select the menu, Mr. ..." said the waiter while thrusting the menu book in front of Ridho.

Ridho turned back the menu book looking for the menu he would order.

"What do you want to eat?" ask Satria.

"Same on." replied Satria.

"Steak sauce two equal one avocado juice" said Ridho on the waiter who stood beside him.

"Good, Sir." The waiter left Ridho's desk.

Ridho and Satria started chatting lightly while waiting for their order to come. Their arrival actually had the same purpose. Both meant to talk about Raina. However, the two people had yet to discuss their respective heart intents.

The food they were waiting for finally came. They both enjoyed the meal quietly.

"alright. Now that you're done eating, say what you want to talk about." said Satria directly to the point did not want to spend too long talking about it Satria.

"Look Sat, you know your sister is still in custody so it is impossible right, Raina waited too long considering what her condition is now like. And you also know if I liked that girl from a few months ago." Ridho explained with a radiant face.

While Satria has begun to look changed the look of his face. But he still listened to the explanation from Ridho.

"If you don't mind, I want to take full responsibility for her" Ridho added.

"You mean ... You want to marry her?" satria asked half surprised to hear the words of her best friend.

"Yes, do you approve?" ask Ridho carefully while looking at the change in Satria's face.

"Sorry, Do. Actually my purpose here is also to inform you, that I will marry Raina in place of Awan." replied Satria. He knows that this hurts his best friend but he doesn't want to cover her up and makes Ridho even more hopeful.

Ridho was pecking at his place. Satria's words were like a bow that shot right at him. He was silent, unable to say anything.

"I'm really sorry, Do. I made this decision after talking to my family members. And besides, the child that Raina conceived was the son of my own sister who had the same blood as me and flowed in the child's body." added Satria again.

"Don't you have Erlina. What about your lover?" ask Ridho.

Satria was already in love with a girl, but they are in a long-distance relationship considering Satria who works more often in a location than at the head office and Erlina herself is also on a different island because of her duties as a doctor who requires her to work on the island secluded it for the sake of his devotion as a doctor.

"I'll decide. I will discuss this matter to his parents." replied Satria.

"All right, I'm holding your word. I don't want to see Raina disappointed and sad. Make him happy, enough bitterness in his life." said Ridho tried to be heartened to accept the reality and left Satria.

Ridho left with a broken heart.

"I should have buried all these feelings and not put that crazy idea on Satria." muttered Ridho as he punched the steering wheel of his car.

Satria lets Ridho go, Satria knows that her best friend is now in a state of chaos. He did not want to make things worse and break their friendship.
