Love Raina

Conveying Trust

Raina at home is called Na by her father and her mother. And as I recall ifa Hartawijaya Raina's name was Nana.

"The world is so narrow." Mama Sari smiled widely, somehow so heard that Mr. Tono's daughter Raina, she felt very happy.

"Yes. Even though we were very close to your daughter, why did we not realize it?" continued papa Budi.

"Sorry before, Holy Mother knows that Raina has been giving private lessons to our youngest son?" ask mama Sari.

"Yes, Mom. We did deliberately message Na so that she never offended about the incident back when in your house." The Holy Mother smiled.

"But why, Mom?"

"This is all we do for Na. Na really wants to succeed because of her own efforts, Mom. We were worried that if Ms. Sari knew that she was our daughter, Ms. Sari would help her a lot. That would make Na uncomfortable." The Holy Mother's plan explains.

"Yes, Mom. We understand the meaning of the Holy Mother family. Raina is different from most girls her age. He is very mature in addressing the situation," said Mama Sari proudly.

"So all this time Kak Rama refused to be betrothed to Mbak Raina but instead invited Mbak Raina to be a girlfriend pretending to be Brother? Ahh this master's eating weapon, Brother," Andi teased his brother, making the whole living room crumble.

Rama's face flushed. This time Rama was silent, unable to reply to his sister's words as usual. He also did not end up thinking his life path could be complicated like this.

Rama never told Raina who she would be betrothed to. Somehow it would be if at that time Raina knew that the one who would be betrothed to Rama was actually the daughter of the family helper of the Hartawijaya oma, herself.

"Wait, what did Nak Andi mean?" tono's father heard something strange from Andi's words earlier.

Papa Budi and Mama Sari fixed her seat. Prepare for their serious conversation. Not yet papa Budi started talking suddenly someone came.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Raina softly, shocked to learn who was visiting her house.

"Wa'alaikum salutations."

Raina slowly stepped inside and kissed the hand of her papa mama Rama, also kissing the hand of her father and mother. Raina excuse me to go into her room for a while to put her bags and books. Raina had indeed finished her college work at Veris' house, many books that she had brought.

What the hell, why did the Hartawijaya family come here? Brother Rama, why do I have to see him again. Raina grumbled inwardly when she reached her room.

Before long Raina came out of her room and joined in the living room. It turns out that Papa Budi deliberately delayed his speech until Raina joined him again.

"Sorry in advance, we actually have great respect for the policy of Mr. Tono's family who do not want to discuss the past events. But there's something we have to say. This is also one of the trustees of my late mother." Papa Budi started talking.

"It's okay, sir. Please convey!"

"So, after Almarhumah returned home, his days were always filled with stories about time activities here. He told me how his family treated him very well. Especially about Raina, she was very enthusiastic about what Raina had done."

"Yes, Sir. It is our duty as Muslims." Tono's father is still not aware of the direction of papa Budi's conversation.

Deg. Raina suddenly turned pale. I can't believe what he just heard. His fingers were clenched, his palms began to get wet.

"So that's it, sir, Mom. This is our main purpose for visiting tonight." Mama Sari completes.

"And we apologize once again, without prejudice to our respect, asking for an answer from the family tonight as well" said Papa Budi, who sounded a bit selfish. He had to say that because he thought about Rama's feelings. Rama has ventured to accept this match, pity that he should be asked to wait for answers from Raina's family.

Tono's father who was sitting between his son and his wife was still silent. Everything was too sudden, he was confused as to what to answer. Staring at his wife and children alternately, such as seeking help so that the answers he delivered later can be good for all.

"Dad, can we talk to you for a second!" The holy mother whispered to her husband.

"I'm sorry, Mrs Sari, Mr. Budi we have great respect for your good intentions. But this is all really too sudden. We'll ask for a little back clearance. Let us discuss this first."

"Yes, Sir. Please!"

Tono's father took his wife and daughter to the dining room a little away from the living room.

While Rama who sat beside his mother just kept silent while continuing to look at the back of Raina who was held by his father until the back was no longer visible. His lower arm was attached to his thigh to support his body. His feet moving rhythmically showed the feeling of his owner being agitated. Mama Sari understood her son's feelings, she rubbed Rama's shoulders, calming.

About half an hour has passed. Not only Rama, all members of the Hartawijaya family also began to fidget. The drink served by the Holy Mother had also been drunk to accompany their anxiety.

Mr. Tono and his son and wife returned to the living room. Raina just looked down. Rama looked at Raina fixedly, trying to figure out what Raina was thinking.

"Sorry to have made the wait a bit long," said the Holy Mother smiling warmly while comforting her sitting position.

The Holy Mother smiled? God, may our efforts tonight be successful. True said mama, it would be better if Rama match with Raina. Mama Sari's prayer in the heart.

"Before we decide, may I ask Nak Rama first?" pinta Tono's father wisely.

"Yes, Sir. Please!"

"Did Nak Rama have thought of all this before?"

"Yes, Sir. God willing."

"Pak Tono knows you initially rejected this matchmaking right? why change your mind now?"

Whether he got the courage from where, Rama replied quite firmly. "Initially Rama did feel that matchmaking was something to be avoided. Because I think matchmaking indirectly robs someone of their rights. But as I thought, I also prayed every night to ask the Almighty for guidance on this matter. God gave me a guide to receive it. My mom and dad were expecting this too. There is nothing more beautiful than the happiness of my parents. As long as they are still healthy and can accompany me like this." Rama smiled then clasped his mother's hand tightly.

Mama Sari began to shake, the clear water from her eye patch could not be dammed. Moved by what was said sincerely from his son's lips.
