A Glimpse of Light For Raina

Is this a kiss, baby?

Days passed and the moon changed. Since Satria's return from meeting with Awan, Satria told Raina nothing about what she had told her sister. Raina also did not mind her, nor did she ever ask Satria anything. More precisely he was reluctant to find out, for him let it be the business of Satria with his sister.

Like any ordinary day, Raina performs her role as a wife as well as a daughter-in-law well. Santi's mother's health gradually improved, although not completely but at least he felt strong to bring his own body either to the toilet or to other places in the house without the help of others again. Although he was not as active when he was still fit to do anything, because he still very much maintain the condition of his body so as not to drop again because of fatigue. And the heart disease he suffered made him lose weight which immediately decreased drastically, which made him look thinner and getting older.

The night has been together, Raina prepared all the side dishes for dinner herself and the family of her husband. And this time, the dining table looks crowded because of the presence of Santi's mother who has started following dinner together with her son and ex. But, still he still very much keep the food intake for her so that Raina understands very well what she must make for her in-laws.

Dinner was quiet, no one spoke. Only the clanking of cutlery was heard. And as usual, after dinner Bara and Satria helped clean the remnants of dirty dishes after they used to eat. Both work shoulder to shoulder. Because, they had agreed to do it so that Raina was not too tired.

Raina, meanwhile, had been sitting casually accompanying her in-laws in the living room.

"Thank you, son .. Your presence in this house is very changeable" said Santi's mother who suddenly.

"Ehm, Raina didn't do anything, Mah. It is all in God's will." said Raina, smiling and gently stroking her in-laws' hands.

"You're really kind-hearted, you're very lucky to have a daughter-in-law like you." said Ms. Santi.

"You don't overdo it, Raina will be big-headed, you know" said Raina while laughing, as well as Santi's mother who laughed at Raina's jokes.

The big change was felt by Santi's mother since Raina's presence. Starting with the diet of his two children are regular, especially for Satria, who always try to eat at home to eat Raina's cooking. Then, for his own health. Raina always gives encouragement for her to recover from her pain, Raina always makes her heart calm so that she does not think about heavy things that can affect her illness.

"Laugh what, anyway? It looks like it's really happy?" tanya Satria who suddenly came and joined Raina and her mother in the family room.

"Do you want to know or do you want to know?" joking Santi's mother.

"Ah, you guys are playing with secrets, yes." Satria swept her lips and folded her hands together like a child sulking. The suddenness of his behavior further made the two women in front of him laugh.

"Already, already, do not laugh later on your stomach hurts like baby's grandpa" said Santi's mother while stroking Raina's stomach that is getting bigger at the age of her pregnancy which has entered six months.

Satria is actually a very loving person in the family, he always grows a sense of warmth in the midst of his family. For a stranger he never knew, he would be cold. What else on the approaching woman wanted to tease him from the past until now even Satria did not change her attitude, instead she grew colder since remembering her status as a husband. That was the reason Satria did not want to retaliate against Renita who tried to approach her at that time.

"Satria, what about your work, son? Didn't you leave him for too long?" ask Santi's mother.

Satria fell silent and thought for a moment.

"Ehm, actually three more days is the time for Satria to return to the location, Mah. Does mamah already feel really good for Satria to stay?" satria answered and then asked her mother again.

"Mamah has improved, you do not need to worry about mamah anymore because there is Raina who accompanies mamah." replied Santi's mother while looking at Raina.

"If it is true like that, Satria no longer hesitates to leave mamah here" said Satria.

"Yes, Son. How much do you have to work, if you do not work how do you support your children and wife later? What's more, soon Raina will give birth. Your needs will be more and more later." said Santi's mother.

Another case with Santi's mother, Raina looks moody after knowing that Satria will return to work and leave her for a fairly long time. Satria also realizes Raina's sadness.

" Hey, why are you sad? Mas, just two months there and Mas will make sure, Mas is here when you give birth later" said Satria who tried to calm Raina.

"Really?" ask Raina.

However, the presence of the husband when a wife will give birth is very expected, because it will arouse the spirit for the mother who will give birth. Although the title of husband is only a status, but Satria wants to give the best for Raina. So that Raina can also feel if Raina has a husband who is ready to be on standby.

"Well, you haven't taken your medicine, you know. Come on mah, you have to take your medicine first then rest this has begun to dissolve" said Raina who reminded her in-laws.

"Dear, you also rest. You must have been very tired of working all day to meet our needs and take care of this house." replied Santi's mother.

"Ah, mamah .. start, deh. Raina didn't do it herself, Mah? Kan, there is Bi Darsih who helps Raina" Raina said with her powerful voice.

"He, okay. Mamah will go to mamah's room and you two will also rest." said Santi's mother and left the family room leaving Raina and Satria there.

Raina began to prepare to leave the room.

"Dek ..." call Satria who is also standing.

"Yes, Mas." replied Raina stopping her steps and turning her body towards Satria.

"Good night and good night" said Satria.

"Yes, Mas too." Raina replied.

Satria approaches Raina and crouches down in front of Raina's big belly, while Raina is shocked by what Satria is doing.

"Eh, what are you doing, man?" raina asked.

"Good sleep also father's child, do not trouble your mother, yes" said Satria as if talking to the child conceived Raina. As usual, there was always a response with a kick every time Satria invited him to speak.

Raina just silently listened to Satria who was talking to her son and felt kick after kick from the baby.

Satria also stood up from his squat and so made their bodies very close. Long as the two of them were silent, Satria looked at the bowed Raina. Satria raised Raina's face and then kissed Raina's forehead long enough. While Raina just kept quiet without a fight got an impromptu attack by Satria.

"Sleep, may you have a good dream" Satria said as she stroked Raina's head after kissing the woman's forehead.

"Yes." Yeah." Raina immediately turned around and headed straight for her room with quick steps.

Raina immediately locked the door of her room and laid her body on the bed. His heart was so pounding it felt like it wanted to erupt right then and there.

"What is a kiss, baby? And he pronounces himself as a father." raina murmured.

Raina smiled and drifted in her own mind until she fell asleep, drifting in the beat of her own heart pounding.
