Today became the day of the return of Mother Aisyah.Before practicing, Raffa who remembered immediately contacted her just to be sure, just to be sure,

"Assalamualaikum Ma'am" said Raffa saluted.

"Waalaikumsalam dear" replied Mother.

"Sorry, Al just wanted to know if you've arrived?" ask Raffa.

"Alhamdulillah, Mother has arrived safely.This was also not long ago when she arrived" said Mother.

"Thank God if it has arrived, I just rest not to cape-capean first yes" Pinta Raffa was so considerate.

"Yes dear, oh yes convey my gratitude to Mr. Harry and Alena, too.Have been bothered to prepare everything to drive it home" said Mother so grateful.

"Well Ma'am later Al conveyed, coincidentally after training Alena asked Al there" replied Raffa.

"Oh that, yes have said hello to Alena yes dear" said Mother back.

"Yes Ma'am, if that's the case Al closed first yes, Assalamualaikum" Raffa said goodbye.

"Waalaikumsalam" replied Mother.

Raffa who was calm and then again prepared to be ready.Tak long Armand approached him, too,

"Hei Al match schedule has come out" said Armand while handing it over.

"A knockout system huh? don't ever slip a little bit like this" said Raffa seriously.

"There is also good news about Al" Armand said.

"Clearly the bad news first" said Raffa.

"In addition to the knockout system of participants who participated quite troublesome also Al, did not expect many strong teams to take part.Typically this tournament is not their lyrics" Armand began to explain with a face full of worry.

"Yes, maybe now it is important to warm up or just test" Raffa said.

"Our first opponent was pretty good, it seems like almost nothing is easy for us" Armand said, wiping his face.

"So we're underdogs? and the other team will underestimate us? so they're not gonna take us seriously?" raffa smiled with satisfaction.

Armand who saw it was a little astonished,

"Well that, well lo ta .. "sahut Armand stopped and grinned himself.

"Why? something fancy?" raffa smiled as if he was being teased.

"Gue understand what you mean, we take advantage of their intelligence, it will be easier to attack unwary opponents, right?" armand said as he looked at Raffa to make sure.

"Cakep hehe, then what's the good news?" reply Raffa.

"Anyway, we'll only meet Leon's team if we and they make it to the final"

"Final huh? heh it would be great to be able to shut him down in the final" said Raffa had made his determination.

"The road to the final will be very difficult Al but me and the others will try their best, we will not disappoint you" said Armand eagerly.

"Gue was happy to hear it" said Raffa then walked to the middle of the field.

"Guys guys come on!" raffa's exclaiming that got all his teammates together.

"Gue wants everyone to do 10 different shots in the right ring, then 10 drives and layup in the left ring, dunk if you can.Do it until you can not, come come on!"

"Seriously lo Al?" adi said.

"Dunk grandma lo tiktokan, nyampe I'm not Al" ketus Evran that is not too high.

"Hadeuh our rodi work again" said Heris

"No problem, pol gas" said Armand trying to arouse the spirit of his colleagues.

"A person keep under the ring to pass the ball yes, the same turn that has been, Go go go" vigorously Raffa did it after Armand.

With so serious they trained without caring for fatigue.Thus Raffa finally stopped him.

"Ok guys enough today, thank you for the hard work" said Raffa.

"Together, we are one team"

Raffa smiled and then extended one hand forward, one by one everyone joined his hands and shouted together,

"Final here we come!"

Finished practicing Raffa then went to meet Alena's request to come to his residence.Alena who had been waiting and welcomed him.

"Let's enter Al" Alena said after opening the door.

"Thank you Alena" Raffa replied.

This big house really feels quiet, especially without Mr. Harry who may still be busy with his work in the office.

"Have you not come home yet?" raffa asked a little to melt the atmosphere.

"I'm sorry if it interferes with your time, there's a lot I have to talk about with you and I think the sooner the better" Alena said.

"It's okay Alena, sorry I came here last night because there was training this afternoon" Raffa replied with a smile.

After nodding Alena sat down to follow Raffa.After sighing Alena began to open her voice,

"Raffa first of all I want to apologize for whatever Papah did.All that is also not free from my mistakes, hopefully you can really forgive me too papah" said Alena hopeful.

"I've forgiven him, but I can't be like before, I just want to be myself.I also don't want your papah to put his great expectations on me.I'm afraid to make him disappointed"

"I understand, then the second one, it's about your mother" Alena said, looking deeply at Raffa.

"Mother? you mean" Raffa looked back at him.

"May you don't misunderstand me I'll open up to you. Honestly since we met, I kind of found a purpose to look at tomorrow.Aanya you make me more receptive if mama Sofia is not with me"

"Everything is pretending but for me you are more meaningful.I feel I have a protector and a place to lean.Hopefully I can always be with you at every moment of my time" said Alena with a voice that grew heavier.

Raffa really did not expect it, once again he was made to feel guilty by a girl.

"Alena forgive me for my stupidity, all this time all I know is how to return your goodwill because I owe you so much.I really dare not be presumptuous to be more to you" raffa said while staring blankly at the sky.

"I understand how, maybe the way to get to know us is wrong" said Alena trying to accept it sincerely.

"Please forgive me Alena" said Raffa looks disgusted.

"Have it, don't you feel guilty I'm fine" Alena said as she gently patted Raffa's hand.

"There's one more thing I want to show you" said Alena and led Raffa to a room that was always neatly locked.

After unlocking her, Alena spoke again,

"This room is actually specifically for the memory of Mamah Sofia, but I hope it will also be able to answer one of your questions"

Room neatly arranged with all the equipment so well maintained.Dresses with all the makeup equipment, shelves containing shoes also sandals, wardrobe and contents.

Slowly but surely Raffa began to be interested in this dominant blue-colored room.He continued to look until stopped in one frame containing photos of women who might be his mother's age.

"Is this Alena's mother?" ask Raffa in your heart.

Alena who was hoping Raffa found the photo continues to let him continue to examine it.

"Why do I feel like I'm no stranger to him, this face feels like I know him" Raffa muttered with a turbulent feeling.

Raffa began to touch every curve of the woman's face in the photo, but one strange feeling enveloped him when he looked into his eyes,

"Mother!" screeched Raffa when his mother's face was clearly drawn in the photo.

"No this is not Mom, this, these eyes feel so much like you're looking at me" Raffa was so incredulous at what he saw.

Raffa was aghast as someone's hand rubbed his back gently,

"Do you feel what I feel Al?" alena asked to be sure.

"Emh Alena is this your mama?" raffa asked with a hunting breath like he had run.

"True Raffa is mamah Sofia" said Alena smiling as she looked at the photo of the mama.

"It seems I'm starting to understand why you're so close to my mother Alena" Raffa said.

"Thank God you understand, from the beginning I didn't try to take your mother.Knowing you made me able to step back but knowing your mother seemed to restore what I had lost in my life and make this empty space in my heart filled again" alena's reply looks relieved.

"I really understand this loss, from now on as close as you are to my mother I won't mind" Raffa said as he grabbed Alena's shoulders and gently rubbed them.

"Thank you Al, all this means so much to me" Alena replied with a happy smile and hugged Raffa warmly.

"There is no need to thank Alena, all this is nothing compared to what you have done for me" Raffa said, replying to his embrace.

"You wouldn't be mad if your mother loved me more?" alena said with a seductive smile.

"I won't be angry, because that's impossible" Raffa replied as he stuck out his tongue.

Alena just smiled amusedly at Raffa's behavior and invited him to leave the room.

"Oh yeah Alena, does my mom know about this?" ask Raffa curiously.

"Of course, because I don't want anything to hide from you" Alena said.

Raffa also seemed relieved to hear it.It would be very fair if his mother knew about all this.After a while Raffa was saying goodbye as the night grew late.

"Alena I said it was already night, you rest yes do not need to take me to the front.Oh yes I send the same greeting thanks for bothering to deliver" said Raffa.

"really? yes, you have been careful, Al" said Alena so look happy.

Finally Raffa left with a calmer heart, while Alena herself immediately laid her body on the bed with a feeling of relief.

"It could be with Mom and you would be so much fun but being with Mom alone is enough to make me happy" Alena muttered and hid her face under the covers.
