A Glimpse of Light For Raina

Thanksgiving Event

"Lho, what's wrong with Raina? Mbak rest there, do not bother in the kitchen" said Bi Darsih who just realized the presence of Raina.

"It's okay, Bi ... Raina bosen in mulu's room. After all, this is also not a hard job" said Raina.

"Where are the results, Ma'am? When aunt came home lonely. Mother said, Ma'am sama mas Satria went to the obstetrician." asked Bi Darsih.

"Oh, does that mean you just got home from check the contents?" Mother Eva also asked Raina.

"Yes, Bun. Thank God all normal and the condition of the little one is also healthy. And God willing, if Allah wills, the sex is male." Raina replied with a smile.

"Alhamdulilah .." said Mother Eva and Bi Darsih together.

"Wah .. if indeed later the one who was born a boy, this is the first grandson in the Sanjaya family. The first two grandchildren of Suseno were all women. It'll be a snatch, your son ... Rai." said Mother Eva.

"Thank God, if there will be many who love him." said Raina.

Everyone nodded and smiled at Raina's words. And back busy helping Bi Darsih cook.

After the kitchen work was completed, Raina left the kitchen and intended to rest her achy body because of sitting too long.

Just about to open the door of his room, there was a car entering the courtyard of the house. It turns out that Ridwan's father came with Sandra. Raina also welcomed the arrival of the two in front.

"Wah .. Your stomach is getting bigger, Rai. You also look more beautiful and mature." praise Sandra while stroking Raina's stomach.

"Already, amused to know!" raina said as she slowly hit her best friend's hand that did not stop stroking her stomach.

"Inborn pregnant women like that, San." said Ridwan's father chimed.

Raina smiled and kissed Ridwan's father's hands full of reverence.

"Where, mother?" ask Ridwan's father who stepped in.

"Mother is in the kitchen, Dad" replied Raina.

Soon, Satria came out of her room and welcomed her arrival.

"You must have just woken up" Ridwan's father guessed to Satria.

"He, Om knows it." Satria replied while scratching her non-itchy head.

The two were chatting in the family room, I don't know what was discussed, of course it was a discussion between men.

Raina takes Sandra to her room. The two also spent time talking to each other.

"So, you and Mas Satria sleep apart?" ask Sandra.

"Yes, San. In order not to happen things that are not desirable and add to sin, it is better like this first." replied Raina.

"How do you feel about Satria?" ask Sandra again who started to want to know.

"So, I'm still confused. I haven't thought about it. Most importantly right now, I just want to focus on my pregnancy and birth later. As I told you before, I leave everything to the Power." Raina replied.

"I will support whatever is best for you, Rai" Sandra said.

"Thank you, you are indeed the best friend" praised Raina as she smiled at her best friend.

"Ehm, Rai .. Can I ask you something?" ask Sandra carefully.

"What do you want? Ask again." said Raina.

Raina bowed, then she re-steaded her head while exhaling her coarse breath.

"Actually, I've been accepted into one of the public colleges that I want a week before my wedding" Raina replied, showing an email from the university she had enrolled in Sandra.

"Why don't you respond. Right, it's okay you stay in college even though you already have married status" said Sandra.

"I've buried all that hope, San. I just want to focus on taking care of it and taking care of it myself. I don't want to miss my son's growth and development. And I don't want her to feel a lack of affection from her mother" Raina said bowed as she stroked gently on her stomach.

" Patient ones yes, Rai. I know that even though Satria will allow you to continue your studies, but surely you won't do that." Sandra replied as she hugged her best friend.

" I don't want to be a selfish mother, selfish, self-serving but an unkempt child. I don't want to be that kind of mother. I will dedicate myself as a good mother to my son and be a good wife to my future husband" Raina said.

Without realizing it, there was someone who heard all the talk with Sandra behind the door of her room.

"You really are a woman who doesn't deserve to be wasted. You are very willing to bury all your ideals to be a good mother." Satria said.

Actually Satria wanted to go out of the house to check his motorcycle which he had not used for a week. But when he passed in front of Raina's room, he overheard all the chatter of the two people inside.

"Ah, I'm going to take a shower first. It's late in the afternoon." said Raina got out of bed and went into the bathroom. While Sandra still remains faithful waiting for her best friend on the bed.

In the guest room, everyone is busy preparing the room to be a place of thanksgiving later tonight. The living room was cleaned and held a large ambal.

Catering from Eva's mother's restaurant has also come to bring a food box that will be distributed to orphans who are invited and to be distributed to neighbors around Satria's house. Mr. Suseno and his wife and children were also present.

Evening came, after performing the prayer together. The Thanksgiving event began with a solemn. Opened with the recitation of the holy verse of the Quran and prayers chanted by an ustad.

The event went well. The invited guests had also gradually started to leave Satria's house. The division of blessings for neighbors around has also been done. After all was felt to be in order, all the families gathered in the family room did not miss Raina also mingled together with the Satria family.

"Sat, Pakde has taken care of all the preparations for our departure tomorrow. Pakde has booked his ticket, departing at seven in the morning, so we will meet at the airport." said Pakde Suseno to Satria.

"Yes, Pakde. Ready." replied Satria firmly.

"You should not be late to wake up, later bad luck miss our plane." said Suseno again.

Satria just laughed at his father's words. Everyone knows that Satria is very difficult to wake up in the morning.

Raina was silent, as she knew Satria was leaving tomorrow.

The night was getting late, quite a lot of things were talked about by the Satria family. And finally, one by one they resigned themselves to leave the house of Satria.

Raina went to her room, she was tired and sultry because of the robe she was wearing. He wants to immediately replace it with pajamas and wants to immediately sleep in his soft pad.

Just as Raina wanted to close the door of her room, Satria quickly held her back.

"Rai, tomorrow morning please wake me up, yes." Pinta Satria.

"Oh, yes Mas." replied Raina quickly.

"OKs. Good night and good night." said Satria.

"Yes, Mas too." Raina replied and immediately closed the door to her room quickly.

Raina quickly changed her clothes and went straight to the top of the bed. He felt so tired today. Just a few minutes his head touched the pillow, he was immediately washed away by a dream.
