The Ballerina Little Princess Mr. Aldo

Part 4: New friend Raisa

Then Raisa went out of the house, looking for a stall that was already open. He would buy rice and vegetables. 

Raisa did not understand, with the situation of the area where Faisal lived. 

So he had to go around in circles, looking for stalls and vegetable makers that had been open.

" Neng, "greet the young man who was on the motorcycle wearing a yellow shirt wrapped in a brown leather jacket.

Raisa just smiled, hearing the man's greeting.

The man was amazed, with the smile of Raisa. 

Raisa also stopped, for a moment she thought to ask the young man who was sitting on his motorcycle.

Then Raisa approached her, "I'm sorry Bang, want to ask?"  Raisa approached the young man.

" Yes Neng, what do you want?" The young man answered kindly.

" Where's that stall open, huh?" Raisa asked while looking towards the left and right.

" O stall, Kodir's shop at the end of the road. Usually it's open, Neng, " said the young man while showing his index finger.

" Oh, thank you, Bang, "Raisa replied, bowing her head and turning towards Kodir's shop.

' Beautiful, I don't think it's here. How come I never see, huh?' said the young man in his heart, when he saw Raisa's departure.

Raisa continues to walk towards Kodir's shop, it turns out that only the stall has been opened.

" Excuse me, Sir. " Raisa said hello to Kodir who was on guard.

" Yes, what are you going to buy?" ask Mr. Kodir who has been standing in the corner of his stall.

" Want to buy a liter of rice, the same cooking oil as you can, " replied Raisa.

Then Kodir took Raisa's order, then noticed Raisa's unfamiliar face in his eyes.

" New guy, huh?" Mr. Kodir watched Raisa while giving the parcel in his hand.

" Yes, Sir!" raisa answered while giving fifty thousand Faisal.

" Where to stay?" the question is to spend money in the pocket for change.

" I, Faisal's wife." Raisa replied with a shy blush.

" O Faisal's wife, whose son is Leha's mother? " Mr. Kodir asked.

" Yes, Sir! " answer Raisa.

" Why is that kid married, don't you say?" Mr. Kodir is released while handing over the change to Raisa. Mr. Kodir has known Faisal since childhood. He was surprised by Raisa's words, that Faisal was married. 

Because as far as he knows, Faisal is indeed a lot of his girlfriend. But the girl who was often in Faisal's bell, was not as pretty as the girl who had just been shopping into her stall.

" Thank you, sir! " said Raisa, then she left the shop Mr. Kodir.

"Faisal could have been a wife, very beautiful, " muttered Mr. Kodir while looking at the departure of Raisa.

Raisa's feet back on the road, down the road to find the existence of the vegetable maker.

Looking at every alley, whether there is a vegetable handyman or the wagon is stopping.

" Eh, that's him the greengrocer." Raisa saw the greengrocer, in front of the black-fenced house and the golden-yellow painted wall.

Raisa approached the vegetable maker, and saw what vegetables she was going to cook.

Suddenly the gate opened, a young man in yellow was seen this morning who greeted Raisa. The young man wants to heat up his car engine.

He saw Raisa in front of the fence, seemingly sorting vegetables.

Then the young man approached Raisa, who was seen carrying a black plastic package.

" Eh, the brother." Raisa replied while smiling towards him.

" Neng, did you want to know what his name was?" said the young man while wagging the kale leaves taken from the vegetable cart.

" Den Aldo, do you want to eat kale?" asked the middle-aged woman to approach the young man named Aldo.

His name is Revaldo Junior Putra, a young man who just graduated from school just like Raisa. She was charmed by Raisa's smile, which looked so sweet. 

" Neng, what's his name?" Aldo teases Raisa.

" It's important?" answer Raisa while taking a vegetable spinach and a piece of tempe.

" Yes no, because the brother just saw Eneng here, "he said with his Betawinya accent.

" I am Raisa, "Raisa replied as she gave vegetables and tempeh to the vegetable maker. And his eyes glanced at Aldo.

" How much, Ma'am?" Raisa turned her gaze towards the vegetable maker.

" All are seven thousand" replied the greengrocer who had counted Raisa's groceries.

" This is yes, Ma'am!" raisa said while giving ten thousand money.

" Where do you live?" aldo asked who was still very curious about Raisa.

" Want to know, what's so good?" Raisa is seductive, because they do look the same age.

" If you want to know, don't. Later you will be disappointed, " said Raisa, she has received groceries from the vegetable maker.

Then Raisa went straight away, leaving the greengrocer and Aldo.

Aldo looks curious about the attitude of Raisa, with her beautiful face but full of mystery.

Raisa headed towards Faisal's house, it turned out that she had gone far enough. To be confused with the direction back to Faisal's house.

Inwardly, he wanted to be familiar with his in-laws as well as his in-laws. But whatever the power, it seems they would rather make fun of Raisa, than guide her. She hoped her mother-in-law would take her to the stall, because she did not know the area where Faisal lived.

But there were no pleasantries, nor attention he had heard all along. In fact they were so ignorant, and did not care about the presence of Raisa in the house.

Raisa is just lamenting her current state, so sorry to get married at an early age. Who he thought would live happily, and be free from all family rules. 

As the saying goes, out of the lion cage into the crocodile cage.

Faisal was anxious, when he did not meet Raisa's whereabouts in his house.

" Mommy, where's Raisa going?" faisal asked his mother who was in the living room.

" Don't know, he also went unattractive, " replied Ms. Leha in a sharp tone.

" Sal .. Try first you want ita, son of Merry hajj. You must have lived well. At the same rate as rich people, how do you want the same difficult people." Maria taunts Faisal while accompanying her mother in the living room with her children.

" Don't interfere in my life, take care of your household. Husbands in omelin mulu every time they don't bring money." Faisal insinuated Maria.

" Eh, how'd it get to you, Sal?" Maria was furious and did not accept Faisal's resistance.

Faisal immediately turned on his motor, and searched for Raisa's whereabouts.

"Oh, it turns out they don't like Raisa. Because I refused an arranged marriage, with Ita? " the inner Faisal was upset with Mary's babbling.

Faisal is further confused, if his family hates Raisa only because of social status issues. Indeed his family is famous matre, his brothers are all indeed betrothed by the son of a rich man. 

But the rich are his parents, but his son is not equipped with effort and hard work. When his parents' efforts and possessions ran out, they were confused. And finally Mary lived side by side with her parents, because she was driven out by in-laws who had sold her house.

Faisal looked for Raisa's whereabouts, in every corner of the alley. He remembers that Raisa asked for money to buy rice. The motor drove, towards the stall pak Kodir.
