The Love of Raisa

5. Big house.

*I used to be just a weak kid.

I used to get nothing, too.

And now I'm learning to be strong.

And now I can grab all my wishful thinking.

Which I've forgotten all along.

I just want to be happy.

Happy with my loved ones*.

(Linda Arlinda )

Raisa who is still preoccupied with her work in the company lately is able to eliminate all the sadness that has been brewing in her chest all this time.

Raisa had forgotten her own promise to meet the grandmother who had been caring and loving her sincerely.

Raisa decided to meet the grandmother after returning home from work later at the big house. Indeed, all this time he and his grandmother lived in a large house with the family of om Johan and his wife.

Raisa immediately got out of the car after arriving in front of the big house. With all the happy feelings of being able to meet the grandmother and forget all the temporary sadness.

Raisa pressed the bell of Johan's big house that looked so very majestic and a very wide courtyard. And not long after the door was opened by one of the servants.

"oh non Tasya" said the waiter kindly to Raisa. The servant was named Bik Ani. Bik Ani is the butler in Johan's house. Bik Ani was so shocked when she saw Raisa coming to the house. Because Raisa herself rarely visited it because of her busy time-consuming.

"iya bik's. Is grandma in the bik house?" raisa asked Ani.

"the big lady is in the non house. Now the mistress is in the back garden, non." replied Ani bik happy to see Raisa coming to the big house. "why the hell, why, non Tasya rarely visit this house anyway non?" continue bik Ani.

"yes, the bik. Tasya lately more work so can not often stop here" replied Raisa sad.

"yes non. Know not the non, the big lady often nanyain non Tasya continue when here" said bik Ani.

"the aunt will be sorry for the big lady. Moreover, the big madam is often sick again, it is aunt so not hearty" connect with Ani with a feeling of sadness when telling about her employer who had been following her long ago and now her condition is getting weaker because of her age which is not young anymore.

"iya bik" answered Raisa sadly after hearing that her grandmother is currently sick. "thank you for the information. And thank you bik dah want to take care of and care for grandma well all this time" continued Raisa.

"yes are both non" replied Ani sincerely.

Raisa also immediately stepped her feet towards the back garden. Raisa also decided to meet the grandmother who is now sitting on one of the park benches behind this house which is again pensive alone.

The middle-aged woman who was none other than Maya's grandmother who was so dear to Raisa all this time.

Maya's grandmother doesn't know that Raisa came to this house. Raisa also hugged the grandmother from behind who was able to make her grandmother shocked because the grandmother was daydreaming.

"grandmother" said Raisa who was able to surprise the grandmother who was thinking about something.

And do not forget Raisa also kissed the cheek of the grandmother who was so dear all this time.

Because from a small grandmother Maya was the one who took care of Raisa and always loved Raisa so sincerely.

" when did you come, son?" ask Maya's grandmother to Raisa happily.

"just so much" Raisa answered with her effect to Maya's grandmother.

" why don't you tell grandma before you get here, son? Grandma can prepare your favorite food, son!" said Maya's grandmother.

" i want to give a surprise to Grandma" Raisa replied with a break.

" oh yeah, why don't you ever come here and granny anyway, sa?" my grandmother Maya asked for an explanation.

" i'm sorry grandma. Lately Tasya is doing a lot of work so can not often nengokin grandma deh here" Raisa replied with a grin and showed two fingers that form the word piiss ⁇ ️.

Maya's grandmother could only smile at the behavior of her beloved granddaughter. Which was able to eliminate all the pain that Maya's grandmother had suffered.

"oh yeah, sa. Have you eaten, baby?" ask Maya's grandmother gently.

"not yet granny" said Raisa cangar-cengar. "did I try to eat dishes made by grandmother" continued spoiled Raisa.

"you also know for yourself what the state of the grandmother is like now" replied Maya's grandmother in a stammering voice. "let Ani who masakin eat your favorite ya dear" said Maya's grandmother felt guilty not being able to fulfill the wishes of her beloved granddaughter.

"yes it's okay to granny" answered Raisa glad that the grandmother did not feel guilty for not being able to cook her favorite food.

After they were busy chatting with many things and shed all the longing between the grandmother and her grandson. Raisa felt that her stomach from earlier had sounded which indicates that she was currently hungry who asked her to be filled immediately.

Maya's grandmother, who realized the hunger of her granddaughter, decided to invite the granddaughter into the house. Maya's grandmother also led the grandson to the dining table to enjoy the favorite food of the grandson who was neatly available at the dining table that was made by Bik Ani.

After finishing eating Raisa and Maya's grandmother had a conversation in the living room. With all the laughter that adorns all the conversation they both are able to shed all the longings they feel because of the busyness of Raisa lately which is able to take all her time.

Not long after there was a middle-aged woman who approached the two of them in the living room. The middle-aged woman who is none other than her aunt Mira as well as Maya's grandmother's daughter-in-law.

"Tasya, when did you come, son?" aunt Mira asked Raisa. Aunt Mira is the wife of Johan, the daughter of Maya's grandmother. His favorite aunt Raisa.

"already tan already" Raisa replied with a sweet smile.

"oh yeah, have you eaten anything yet?" ask Aunt Mira to her favorite niece.

"it's tan. Just finished eating with grandma" replied Raisa casually.

Aunt Mira immediately hugged Raisa very tightly. Because aunt Mira already considers Raisa like her own biological child.

In addition to her two in-laws, aunt Mira and om Johan also know how the struggle Raisa so far to try to survive alone without the affection of her parents so far who never wanted it.

And aunt Mira also knew very well that her favorite nephew had suffered so much when she was a child who was so dark. Little Raisa who never wanted by her parents included the father. Who thinks Raisa is the source of all the misfortune that befell his family.

Her father was so willing to throw her into an orphanage and assume she no longer existed in this world. Able to make Raisa's mental slump a few years ago.
