Kaina's PoV
When saying goodbye to all the office people, there was a bit of sadness in my heart. Even if it's just for a little while, that nostalgia makes a really good impression on me.
Ray and I were in the car again, heading to Tasikmalaya. He said he was starting to get nervous because he was going to see my mom and my sister. Therefore I try to give peace by tightening my hand in his hand.
"So he didn't miss it, did he? "
"Sayanggggg, how many times have you asked? Already dear, already in the trunk really," I laughed funny while peeping the back of his hand.
"Hahahaha .. crazy, I'm so nervous about this."
"Let's just relax, baby, everything's gonna be ok" I said gently. It's so sorry he's so nervous. I told you my family wouldn't scratch it. Especially taking him alive.
"Yes dear. As long as I'm with you, I'm sure everything will be fine."
"Lebaayyyy!" sometimes sentences like that often make me amused rather than happy.
"I'm serious, don't hurt dong" Ray pulled my hand, kissed his back, then put it on his stomach.
"Haha. After I never thought, a Rayshaka can be nervous too. I just want to see Mama Doang."
"That's not just, my dear. If I meet a big client, keep failing to get the project, it's still commonplace, I can still find another one. But if you meet the prospective in-laws and do not give my blessing to me, how? Where am I looking for you?"
I really laughed, and was flattered to hear it. That's as scared as she is if my mom doesn't approve.
"Thank you baby, I'm flattered, "I took off my grip just to stroke her clean cheek.
"Kiss dong."
"Flame. This is the highway!"
"the hunt! It's a lonely mummy!" he leaned his cheek towards me, while his eyes were still looking at the highway.
Sometimes I am confused to face the behavior of my lover m this. Sometimes jaim sometimes installments. If his wish was not fulfilled, he would definitely sulk like a child. If now ask for a temporary kiss again on the highway, I'm going awry.
Cupps!
I don't want to kiss her cheek. Quickly, that made his wiggly smile instantly expand. His eyes narrowed again with laughter.
Then he took my hand again and kissed her. How can I not continue to be with him?

The three-hour trip to Tasikmalaya was not felt because Ray and I talked a lot about it. Most of it is about our past. I love it when he starts talking about it. It shows that he also has a million memories of us in the past. It's not just me.
We will be at my house soon. Ray didn't ask about the way home, because he remembered coming here to look for me. Ray expressed his nervousness again. Akucpun saw the look of his face that slightly paled. I wanted to laugh, but I felt too sorry. I can only help calm him down with a grasp like that.
At last, our car stopped in front of the house. Mama and Kayla were waiting in front. I took Ray out.
"Oh my God ! Honey, I'm scared."
"Hahaha .. come on baby. Mama's just as Kayla is good."
I got out of the car first, then I ran into my mom and my sister's arms.
"You're healthy, aren't you, baby?" mama asked half a whisper.
"Healthy to ma. Mama and Kayla are healthy, right?"
"Health, Brother ..." Kayla.
After a while, I let go of my embrace and turned around. I saw Ray already standing at the side of the car and threw a smile at us.
"Here ..." I called out softly.
My lover stepped closer. From the look on his face I knew that he was still overcome by his nervousness, but he tried to hide it.
"Mama, Kayla, you know, this is Rayshaka."
"Hello Aunt. Rayshaka" she extended her hand to mama. My mother greeted me with a warm smile.
"Hello son Ray. Turns out you're better than Kaina told you."
"Ah, aunt. I'm used to auntie," I saw Ray's eyes disappear again as he laughed.
"Hello Brother Ray. Healthy really, sister," Kayla returned Ray's hand.
"Let's go in. Mama's been cooking for dinner. You guys stayed over, right ?"
"Yes ma, stay over."
Before we got into the house, Ray and I returned briefly to pick up souvenirs from the trunk of the car.
"Thank you dear ..." Ray looked at me with relief when we were in the back of the car.
"I'm the one who loves you, you've dared to meet Mama and Kayla."
"I love you .." she said meaningfully.
"I love you more, baby .." I took a moment to stroke her cheek while sincerely saying love. He kissed my hand and threw a kiss through the air.

Kaina and Rayshaka take a turn to use the bathroom. As Kaina takes a bath, Ray chats with Kaina's mother. His awkwardness was gone when he found the welcome of the Kaina family so warm for him.
Rayshaka felt lucky because her future mother-in-law was quite able to talk to many things. He did not die of style if he had to be quiet. Staying far enough from the big city did not undo his desire to know many things. He diligently read the newspaper to find out what is being updated in the universe of Indonesia Raya. Rayshaka to the point of feeling ashamed of herself because there is some information that she herself does not know but Kaina's mother knows.
At about eight in the evening, they had dinner together. The perfunctory dishes that his future in-laws have prepared make Ray feel very appreciated and respected. If Kaina is cared for and raised in this loving home, she believes that their children will grow up lovingly because her mother is Kaina Larasati.
"So what are your plans going forward, Ray?" Mama asked lightly on the sidelines eating them.
"So this is it, Auntie. Tomorrow I will also take Kaina to be known to my parents. After getting to know each other, I plan to immediately invite my parents here for a proposal, Auntie."
Mama nodded.
"Are you ready to commit to Ray?" now she asked Kaina.
"Here you go, Ma."
"Alright .. if you have agreed and are really ready, mama bless you. Tomorrow, please send your greetings to the prospective mother in Bandung."
"Please, Auntie," Rayshaka spontaneously moves to hug her mother Kaina from behind. Kaina and Kayla were surprised not to play, but ended up laughing happily.
Kaina was also barely able to finish her meal due to the feeling of pleasure that was stirring in her heart. It felt like immediately pouring into Rayshaka's embrace and venting his happiness.
After finishing eating, the four of them still continued the chat that had arrived somewhere. They discussed Kayla's growing efforts. They also discussed the development of the city of Tasikmalaya which is fairly rapid. One of them is the cleanliness of the city is getting here increasingly noticed by all residents of Tasikmalaya.
They also did not forget to discuss the beginning of Kaina and Rayshaka's relationship. Kaina returned to the story casually, because she had memorized every sequence of events they experienced.

At ten o'clock in the night, Ray was already lying in the guest room. The room is not too spacious, but comfortable enough to rest his tired body.
He looked at the whole room with the pure white paint. Some hanging frames decorate the walls. Ray was tempted to look at those photos. Looks like family photos.
There's a picture of Kaina and Kayla as teenagers. There's a picture of Kaina with her mother. There are pictures of Kayla and Kaina by themselves. There's a family photo with Kaina's late father.
Ray smiles to find a photo of Kaina and Kaina as teenagers. Great opportunity to capture it now. He took his cell phone and snapped the pictures a few times.
After that she sent one of Kaina's childhood photos to her lover's WhatsApp.
Rayshaka :10.14 "Hello, little Kaina ... 😘😘"
Two minutes later, Kaina read the message and immediately sent a reply.
Kaina :10.16 "Ih sayanggggg .. very old school photos 🤣🤣🤣."
Rayshaka: 10:16 "From childhood it is beautiful."
Kaina: 10:17 "My dear can. So shy... 😅😅"
They were still texting each other until Kaina said she was sleepy. As usual, Ray always said the word love to her, as a lullaby.
