A Glimpse of Light For Raina

Mother's Cuisine

Three days passed, Raina had improved and was allowed to go home. However, Raina looks uninspired as it is not Satria who picked her up at the hospital. Satria had already left to return to the location where she worked outside the island, the day before Raina's return.

"Why ... Why is his face so tight? You're not happy, brother picked you up?" ask Aldo who realized Raina was not as happy as usual when he met her.

"Eh, no, brother. Raina is happy." replied Raina while confirming her sitting position in the car.

"Is it because Satria didn't pick you up? You're being like this?" Aldo Goda.

"Look, what does that mean? Raina is normal, really." Raina denied it and threw her eyes out of the car.

"Cie .. It seems, this little brother's sister has started to fall in love with her temporary husband." Aldo increasingly teased Raina who made Raina's face blush immediately heard the temptation from her brother.

While Aldo was stealing glances towards his sister, glancing at Raina's reddened face like a boiled crab made him chuckle amusedly.

"Ih, big sister." Raina grumbled as she pinched Aldo's waist.

"Ac ...! Already, I'm sorry, deh." said Aldo as he rubbed his waist that hurt because of Raina's pinch.

Raina folded her arms around her chest, put on her pouting face and looked back out the car window.

"Don't pout that, donk! Later, the beauty is gone, you know. Here you want to be delivered straight to Satria's house or to our little house?" ask Aldo.

"It seems Raina wants to go home to our little house first, sister. Raina misses mother's cooking." said Raina.

"OK, man. But, you have to tell your in-laws and your husband, so that they don't worry." Aldo suggested.

"Yes, Brother. Raina waits at home." said Raina.

Half an hour's drive from the hospital to the arrival of the two of them in their home. The house that Raina missed so much, although Raina often visited her childhood home, but she always misses the atmosphere of the house and the togetherness with her two brothers when she was back at Satria's house.

Raina got out of the car and immediately headed to her mother's pastry shop to greet her mother first.

"Assalamualaikum .." said Raina who entered her mother's pastry shop.

"Walaikumsalam .. uh, Mr. Raina." replied Eci Riska's mother's employee.

"Yes, Ci. Which mother?" raina asked while chirping looking for her mother's whereabouts.

"Oh, mom's in the kitchen, sister. Mother again make the cake order people." replied Eci told Raina.

"OKs. I'm going inside first huh, Ci." said Raina.

Eci just nodded her head and went back to work.

In the kitchen of the store, Raina sees her mother who looks very serious decorate the cake order of her customers.

"Mother ..." said Raina who immediately hugged her mother.

"Hey, my mother's son is coming. But, can't you, anyway? Not too late? That's a big stomach, if you hug the mother, automatically the mother's body becomes displaced. Later the cake that I made was even destroyed if it hit the mother." said Ms. Riska.

"Yes, sorry. The decorations are great, Mom. Mother is getting more proficient yes, decorate cake." praise Raina who saw the three-story birthday cake in such a way as to look beautiful and in accordance with the request of her mother's customers.

"Thank you, baby. It's cake for the wedding anniversary of the customer's mother, her own husband who came here to ask her to make it" said Ms. Riska.

"Oh .. so romantic, Mom, that's her husband. Until ordering a cake like this and choosing a cake design that is very beautiful" said Raina.

Raina continued to look at the cake that was being decorated by her mother.

"God! I forgot!" peekkik Raina while patting her own forehead with her hands.

"Okay, Raina ... I was shocked, because of your screams. What did you forget?" gerutu Ibu Riska while asking questions to Raina.

"Sorry .. Sorry, Mom. This ... Raina forgot, I haven't told Mamah and Mas Satria that Raina has come home from the hospital and come straight here." raina answered with eyes that focus on the phone and fingers were busy looking for the name she would go to on her phone contact.

"Immediately tell them, then even worry again .. You are not there." said Ms. Riska.

Raina nodded her head and moved away from her mother. He chose to sit in the corner of the kitchen, pulling a plastic chair into the corner of the room.

It did not take long phone calls were directly connected to his mother-in-law. It only takes a few seconds for Raina to talk on the phone with her in-laws to inform the old man and then immediately end the call. Raina went on to find Satria's name and contacted her husband.

[Hallo, assalamualaikum .. why, Rai?] The person across there had already answered her phone and directly charged Raina with questions.

[Ehm, walaikumsalam, mas. Raina has come home from the hospital, Aldo's brother who picked up Raina. Raina wants to say the same mas, if now Raina is at home mother, Raina misses the same mother's cooking. So Raina decided to come straight here.]

[Oh, okay. Take good care of yourself and your body. Do not be late to eat and take vitamins that your doctor has given you.]

[Yes, mas. Also be careful with your work.]

The call was terminated. Raina held onto her thumping chest, after she tried as calmly as possible to talk to Satria.

"Why so deg deg an gini, huh? Kan, by the way not looking at his face directly. But still I was hypnotized as well despite just hearing her voice." Raina said in her heart.

"Have you finished calling?" ask Ms. Riska who has finished her order.

"Already, Mom. Is there no other job?" Raina answered her mother's question and then asked her again.

"none. Why why?" Riska's mother asked back.

"Raina's hungry, Mom. Raina wants to eat mother's cooking and eat with mother." replied Raina.

"OKs. Let's go home." said Ms. Riska while embracing Raina whose body is bigger than her because Raina was pregnant.

Because the distance of the house and shop was only a few meters, they arrived at the kitchen which Raina had not entered for a long time. Although Raina often comes to visit, she is not allowed to do anything while she is pregnant. So, if she visits, Raina spends more time in the family room and also her room.

"You want what masakin' mom?" ask Riska's mother who is preparing in the kitchen.

"What the hell, Mom. What matters is the mother's cooking." replied Raina.

"OKs. Be patient." said Riska's mother who was immediately busy cooking because of the request of her daughter who was pregnant. Because usually, if he is already busy with his store and does not take the time to cook, he always ordered food so for himself and his two sons.

Since this was the request of her pregnant daughter, she inevitably intervened herself in cooking it, even with only the remaining ingredients in the refrigerator. He wanted to obey what his son asked, because he did not want to see his granddaughter ileeran if he did not obey the will of his pregnant child.

Twenty minutes later, Riska's mother's cooking was presented neatly on the table there was sauteed kale favors Raina and fried chicken ungkep laos.

"You eat a lot, let the child you carry also be full and healthy" said Ms. Riska while sticking rice and side dishes into Raina's plate.

"Thank you, Mom. Come on, I also have to eat to accompany Raina." said Raina.

The mother and son enjoyed their late lunch in peace. Raina ate her mother's cooking very greedily and made her mother smile happily because she could see the child who enjoyed her cooking so much.
