Flashbacks

Linda meets Raline in front of Abah and Ambu's house. Linda thought Raline wouldn't recognize her. It's true, Raline didn't recognize him, but the people who worked at Abah's house must have recognized him.

At that time Raline returned home to pick up her book that was left behind at her study table. As he passed through the kitchen, he heard Mang Engkus and Mang Harjo talking about the woman who was next to the gate was Raline's Mother.

Raline immediately ran to the front of the house and was lucky because Linda at that time only moved one step from where she was.

"Mother!" Raline tries to call the woman by calling her mother.

The woman turned her head and looked at Raline with a strange look. He was surprised but he smiled. And he opened his arms wide so that Raline would embrace him.

That woman is Linda. He always comes to Abah and Ambu's house if he feels empty and misses Raline. But if he was with Riko and Mr. Gunawan, he never felt homesick for Raline.

That day Linda felt very angry at Riko who arbitrarily canceled their holiday event that had been planned a week ago on the grounds of taking her cousin home to her parents. Though Riko was with her cousin, but they were on vacation together and had fun together in a place that Linda did not know.

And he was also angry at Mr. Gunawan because he currently wanted to take Mr. Gunawan on vacation, but he refused because he was going on vacation with his son and wife.

Linda feels herself as a kara. At a time like this, he remembered Raline. Linda walks with Linda's makeup now and with her sunglasses she is in front of the fence of Abah and Ambu's house, hoping to meet Raline.

He had seen Raditya who was still very charming in his opinion, even more charming by wearing formal clothes when he was about to leave for work.

But again Linda had to swallow the disappointment of hearing Kiki's name called by Raditya when he called and laughed happily when talking. Linda hates Kiki who can have the two hearts of the man Linda wants, Aydin and Raditya.

Now in front of Linda is Raline, her son with Raditya. The hug from Raline warmed him up a lot. His selfishness re-covered his heart. Linda wants everyone to feel the way she feels.

"Is Raline kangen the same Mother?" Linda looked at Raline's face which was very similar to the female version of Raditya, so beautiful and soft-hearted that she could easily use it.

Raline nodded with teary eyes. She wanted to hug her mother again, but Linda stepped back, she took a step away from Raline.

"Will Raline see Mother every day?" Linda asked Raline who was still looking at her in wonder at being away from her.

"Can Raline grant Mother's request that we meet freely?" Linda asked Raline again.

"Request? Mother asked for what?" Raline hesitated to say it.

"Raline would not be able to meet with Mother if Raline was still here. Raline has to stay away from this family and Kiki's family so we can meet," Linda put on a sad face so Raline would comply with her request.

"Why? Why should I stay away from them? Raline wasn't sure she could be away from them Mother. Can't we keep meeting but Raline's still here?" Raline could not accept Linda's request, Raline shook her head while saying and her eyes glazed over, her voice shaking so much that a few tears were dripping down her cheeks.

"They won't allow you to meet with Mother. They don't like Mommy being close to Raline. Surely they will drive Mommy away if Mommy meets you," Linda tried to let out her tears so that she looked really sad.

"Why is that? They are all good people Mother, they will not do that," Raline remained adamant in defending her family.

"That's because you're a little Raline. You don't know what's going on. If you stay away from here, you will be able to meet with Mommy at any time and Mommy will tell you everything," Linda walked over immediately because she was afraid that someone would find out, he was afraid of going back into the bars like that time.

"Mother... Mother...when will we meet again?" with a slight breath Raline asked Linda, she ran to catch up with her Mother.

"Mother will meet you at school to be safer, no one knows. And Raline has to think about what Mother said earlier. See you again Mother's child," Linda kissed Raline's right cheek, then she walked away from Raline who was still staring at her mother's back.

Raline held her right cheek that had just been kissed by her mother.

Why is only the cheek saru kissed by Mother? Why not like Mami who kissed all parts of Raline's face? Does Mother really love Raline? all those questions Raline asked in her heart only.

And Raline immediately ran to return to her school in a motorcycle taxi because the watch in her hand had shown that less than fifteen minutes the gate would be closed.

"Rilaine!" Linda yelled out to Raline.

It just so happened that Mang Engkus who was in charge of picking up Raline was still on the road so Linda could talk to Raline before Mang Engkus came.

"Hows it? Has Raline decided yet? Don't you want to be free to meet your mother?" Linda pressured Raline again to agree to her request.

"Mother, can't we just meet like this every day? Or once a few days?" Raline answered Linda's question with a question from her.

"Did Raline rather be with them than with Mother?" Linda cornered Raline.

"It's not like that Mother, Raline just... Raline doesn't want to be away from anyone, and Raline doesn't know where to go?" answer Raline.

Raline's confusion has remained unanswered for several days. He really thought about not hurting anyone, because everyone around him loved him very much.

At a young age, Raline must be faced with a reality that requires her to choose. He did not want to leave the people he loved, but he also wanted to know why his mother left him when he was a child.

Raline still remembers that time, the last time Linda said goodbye to go to work, but she did not return at that time. And when she met her mother while she was walking in the park with her father and Ken's family, Linda did not want to go home with her.

Raline desperately wants to have a happy whole family like Ken and Miyuki. Although Kiki and Aydin consider him to be his own son, Raline still wants to have her own family.

Every time Kiki takes a report, sometimes Renita, because Raditya is always busy with his newly developed company. But Raline never complained because she did not lack affection or attention from anyone. Everyone always showed their affection and attention to Raline.

"Raline, if we keep going like this, surely your father will find out. You want us to never meet forever? Do you not love Mother?" Linda again cornered Raline and made her even more worried.

"Mother, Raline loves Mother, but why is it that Mother has come and told Raline to stay away from them?" Raline finally questioned what she wanted to ask.

"Mother has a reason, and you will listen to Mother's reason if you are far from them. We will be free to meet and Mother will tell us everything" Linda repeated the same answer as her previous answer.

Drrt...

Suddenly Raline's phone shook. He took his phone out of his uniform pocket. It turns out that there is the name Mang Engkus on Raline's phone screen. Raline circulated her gaze, and it turned out that Man Engkus was already outside the car with a mobile phone attached to his right ear.

"Mother, Raline has to go home. Raline's pick-up is waiting" Raline said as she walked away from Linda without hearing Linda's reply.

Raline was more afraid of upsetting her father than she could not meet her mother.

Until several times Linda returned to see Raline and pressured and forced her to immediately move away from her family.

"Then Raline has to go to Mommy? Raline had no other destination, and Raline knew no one but them," Raline wishes to her Mother that she does not force her to leave everyone who loves her and loves her more than her own Mother.

"Why don't you go to Pondok Pesantren Eyang you? There near the parents' house. You can meet them too" Linda conveyed her idea with great enthusiasm.

"Pesantren Cottage? What should?" Raline asked with a doubt that enveloped her.

And Linda nodded confidently with her smile convincing Raline to follow her wishes.

"Raline think first, Mother. And Raline also had to get permission first with Dad and everything," Raline said weakly, she wasn't sure she could leave everything behind.

"Alright, will Mother wait for your decision. Mommy hopes you will not disappoint Mommy, and Mommy hopes we can be closer like a mother and child in general," Linda smiled making Raline's heart become trenchant and worried.
