Loving my Best Friend's Mother

Episode 25's

Flashback on - a few years ago.

"How's my son doing, Doc?" Ask the couple who are waiting for the process of birth from their eldest daughter, who is none other than the parents of Raisa.

"The baby survived but sorry, I couldn't save her mother" replied the doctor.

"How can doc!?"

"I've told you about this before, and the patient himself knows the risks. I think the patient talked about this to his family."

"Is there a family of patients named Raisa?" Ask one of the hospital sisters.

"There is, but he is still on his way, soon to come" answered Raisa's mother. "Oh, there it is!" He said when he saw Raisa had come with still wearing her school uniform.

"Where is Ranti?" Raisa asked her mother.

"Brother you." he could not continue his words and cried.

Raisa is still confused as to what happened exactly.

"Mother named Raisa?" Ask the sister.

"Yes sus...."

"Please come with me" Sister brought Raisa to the room where Ranti was seen lying weakly there with some tools attached to her body.

"Ra.., I don't have much time left" said Ranti when Raisa saw that she was standing next to her place.

Raisa brought the distance closer a little bowed so that she could clearly know what her brother said. "Well, you have to be strong for the sake of your child and your husband."

"Please grant me your last wish...."

"Sir.., don't say that, no good."

"Promise."

"Yes, Raisa promised."

"You know Irwan was raised in an orphanage and he had no one but a mother, and you know he wanted a child, so please take care of your child and husband if you don't exist."

"Why don't you say that, I'll be fine and we'll be together again."

"For so long I have never asked anything of you, so please grant the last wish, please...."

"Yes, I promise."

"You are my brother, and I just believe in you."

It was the last conversation between the brothers.

Since then Raisa has really learned to be a mother even though she also has to study as a student because she also still has to go to school.

On weekends, the routine is still the same, which is taking care of the baby. But he was very sincere in doing so and he was happy to see the tiny baby growing in his care, although all that did not escape also from the help of his parents.

Arriving at school graduation, Raisa waits under a tree to meet someone who has made an appointment with her.

"Sorry, you have to wait a long time" said someone who was waiting for none other than Herman.

"Yes, I know you must be busy capturing graduation moments with your fans" Raisa replied.

"It's good that you're jealous."

"There's something I want to talk about" said Raisa.

"Me too, but you go first" replied Herman, giving Raisa a chance.

"I'm not going to college."

"Why? We promised to go to college together and study the same course."

"I'm getting married!"

Herman was struck by lightning when he heard the words that came out of the mouth of the woman he loved so much all this time, only he had never declared it.

"You're the only friend who's wanted to survive since my sister's departure, so I want you to come when I get married" Raisa added.

"Ba--- well, I'll come, but who are you getting married to?" Herman asked because all this time he was the closest man to Raisa because no man dared to approach her considering Raisa's father was very fierce. And he was lucky enough to be friends because Raisa's father was good friends with her father.

"I'm going to marry Mas Irwan."

"What's!? You mean, Irwan's husband from Ranti's late house!?"

Raisa just nodded. "My parents want us to get married soon, this is also the last request from Ranti, and I have promised to fulfill it. You must have come, right?" Raisa asked to make sure.

"I'll do it" said Herman with a painful feeling.

"There was only a contract later, the show was only attended by the closest family, all very rushed because we had to get married soon before Ricky could understand everything."

Herman breathed heavily holding back the turmoil in his chest. With great difficulty he gathered the courage to express his feelings but now all in vain.

"May I have my wedding present now?" Ask Raisa

"What do you want?" Ask Herman to come back.

"I may not be able to make it happen, but you can, be a good lawyer as we dream."

Herman nodded with a smile to strengthen himself.

"Promise?"

"I promise" Reply Herman.

"Oiya, what do you want to say?" Ask Raisa.

"Nothing, I forgot maybe later."

"Okay, keep your promise maybe someday I will need a lawyer" Raisa said, smiling and leaving.

After attending the wedding, Herman never met Raisa again, and he was busy pursuing his goals.

Ricky was silent after hearing Herman's story.

"Raisa didn't give birth to you, but what she's been doing all this time has never been less than a real mother, when a woman her age goes on vacation and spends time, she takes care of a baby. As her friends continued college, she decided to get married and bury her ideals, again for the sake of a baby! A baby who is now an adult and is asking for the whereabouts of his biological parents," Herman was satisfied to have told him everything. "It doesn't really hurt you asking about this, but the way you are that's wrong, you can ask nicely without hurting your mama's feelings and making her worry like this."

Ricky just kept his head down and regretted what he did.

"O yeah, I forgot to give you a delivery from your mama," Herman put it on the sofa table.

Ricky looked at the object, it was a vitamin, and his mother would give him the vitamin if he experienced the same thing he had just. He realized he could not be too exhausted, and it was innate since childhood.

Now I'm gonna ask you, who's your parents?" Ask Herman.

Ricky did not answer, without thinking long he left the room.What he thought was to want to see his mother and apologize. He stopped when he realized he did not pocket the key of his motorbike. Before he returned Herman was already standing on the porch handing over the keys to his bike. "Here, be careful" Herman said.

"Thank you" said Ricky, before riding his bike he turned around. "Did you like Mama?" Ask her.

Herman smiled. "Yes, but your Mama only thinks of Om as her best friend, nothing more."

"What if you have the same feeling?"

"You love other people, and it's time you made them happy" Herman said.

Ricky turns on his bike and leaves Herman's yard.

...-----***-----...

Dance entered the store as her eyes swept across the entire room of the store.

"Good day, how can we help you?" Tanya Rina greeted the customers kindly.

"I want to buy some kind of cake here, but before I want to meet the owner of this store, is her name really Raisa?"

"Oh yes, but Raisa's mbak is out may be coming soon, mbak can choose the type of cake first let me prepare."

After choosing several types of cakes, Dance was allowed to sit in a place that was already available there.

A few moments Raisa returned to the store.

"Sir, someone wants to see you" Rina told me.

"Who?"

"Don't know. I just met you first maybe I know.''

"Can I help you?" Sapa Raisa with a typical friendly smile, her.

Dance raised her face hearing the voice of someone greeting her.

"I'm the owner of this shop," while extending his hand. "Rulisa."

Dance welcomes Raisa's hand. "Dance" he answered.

"I'm sorry if you waited a long time."

If previously Tari was shocked to hear Bara's explanation, then this time he was shocked to see the woman in front of him. He thought he had the wrong address, but he knew it was impossible. He watched until he did not blink, even he felt that the woman in front of him was much younger than him.

*I understand why Bara is so crazy about this woman.

Inner Dance.

"Well, we've got some examples of cake design, but if you want another design then you can send it through--- "

"I'm here to talk about other issues" cut Tari.

"Sorry...?"

"I am the older brother of Bara."

"Oh, well please," Raisa was surprised, but the frothy remained calm.

"I don't want to beat around the bush so just go straight, do you love Bara?"

Raisa did not believe that she would get such a question.

"Because Bara loves you so much" said Tari before Raisa could answer. "So what's your answer?" Ask Dance again.

"Do I have to answer questions like this?"

"Must, this is very important for my brother's survival, so please answer honestly," Dance stared firmly.

Raisa was silent for a moment, hearing the name Bara alone could make her heart beat faster, even though she was trying to forget the name.

"My answer is no."

"Well, now I can conclude that there's no point in Bara hurting himself for a woman who doesn't love him!" Dance moved from her seat. "Then I'm sorry, sorry to waste your time."

"Wait, how's Bara doing?"

"What do you care about, you don't love her anyway, do you?" Dari turned to look at Raisa then continued her steps after previously paying for her groceries.

I know you love each other!

Inner Dance.
