Loving Saleha's Bodyguard
Big Surprise

Since last night Raina felt pain in every inch of her body, she really did not know what to do. Seeing Sawn's tired face that had just fallen asleep, made it uncomfortable to wake her husband up.

In her heart, Raina prayed that the pain would soon arrive, as time went by her pain would soon disappear. At three o'clock in the morning Raina can just fall asleep again.

"Darling, your face looks pale! I don't need an office, I'll accompany you to the doctor!" Sawn said in full of worries.

"It's okay, it'll heal. It's just a common cold." Raina replies while cupping Sawn's face with both hands.

"Are you sure it's okay?" Sawn again asked, sounding a heavy tone in each strand of his sentence.

"Mmmm!" Raina replied briefly while nodding her head.

"Are you sure you want to be back? What about tomorrow? Tomorrow I can accompany you, I really can't take you off on my own."

"Who said I'd go alone? I can go with Mang Ujang, or by taxi only, it's easier." Reply Raina while walking towards the bed and sitting on the right side facing Sawn, honestly she wanted to vomit, and her head felt spinning. If Sawn knows what Raina is going through right now, then Sawn's protective attitude will curb her footsteps.

"I'm not going to ban you, but you can't refuse, I'll take you to your place." Sawn's short answer to Raina put an end to the existing dissent.

Raina will never reject the decision made by Sawn as long as the decision is not against the religion. For Raina, following a husband's words is everything as long as it contains goodness in it.

Sawn actually drove Raina to the front of the parlor, unfortunately she could not stop by because of her busyness.

Raina slowly stepped foot into the Panti which had been the palace where she lived, everything was in it. Like a drought waiting for the rain to fall, all his sad and happy stories are written in the perfection of almighty grace.

Raina stood in front of the door while looking at the faces of her sweet sisters. He was saddened when the twins asked where her sister Raina was, but Romlah quickly covered the boy's mouth with her own hands.

Not wanting to linger in her own mind, Raina entered the house while saying her regards. The warm welcome and embrace of her sisters brought great peace in the figure of Raina, in the eyes of the mother who had been raising her with a loving gaze.

Raina misses her mother's embrace so much, she steps towards Rahayu's mother who is currently sitting while folding her clothes.

"Mom. Raina misses mom! Raina is so happy today! Ms. Raina hammmm!"

Plakkkkp!

Raina's words were stuck in her throat, instead of getting a warm hug, it was a slap that landed on her right cheek.

"I don't care if you're happy or not! You're really outrageous! How dare you lie to me, your mother!" Said mom Rahayu with a high tone.

"Today you really proved yourself, that adopted children can't be biological children." Ms. Rahayu looked at Raina's pale face with an excruciating pain, actually she was curious and wanted to hear what happy news her daughter was carrying with her, unfortunately his anger has paralyzed his mind until he himself is unconscious so deep the pain of his short words in the depths of Raina's heart.

Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, it felt like Raina wanted to be quiet before she heard her mother's hurtful words.

"Go from before me!" Said Rahayu again, she turned her face away from Raina.

Raina was still standing, lost her happiness. It felt like he wanted to cry, all his strength he refrained from dripping the clear circles in front of his mother, if he cried then his mother would cry.

All eyes looked at Rahayu with an angry look, the food that Mom Romlah brought from the kitchen for the youngest Amel was released from her hands because the surprise she saw almost killed her.

"Bude says, enterkkk!" Ms. Romlah spoke in a high tone while looking at the children with a sharp gaze.

"Mbak yu's... What did you do?" Ask Mom Romlah after the children entered their room while carrying her cries.

"You shouldn't have to slap Raina in front of her sisters! Even if you want to... Ma'am Yu can just kill him in the room." Romlah's tears dripped hard without being able to hold back, staring at Raina's pale face made her feel excruciating pain.

"Quite Romlah, enough."

"That's what I mean, mbak, enough! Ma'am Yu doesn't need to vent mbak yu's anger on her."

"You two are the same! And you're Raina..." Bu Rahayu looked at Raina with a dagger-sharp gaze, while the one in her face could only be silent.

"Did you love that man so much that you were afraid that mom would turn him down if mom found out he was Andre's family, say? I'm really disappointed in you! Get out of here, I don't want to see your face!" Ms. Rahayu left the middle room with anger still rising.

Tears that Raina tried to endure began to spill after Rahayu's mother left her with a stabbing remark. Ms. Romlah looked at Raina's sad face, then went to follow Rahayu's mother to her room.

Mom's mad at me! I don't want to see my face! Which grief is greater than this? Raina muttered to herself as she walked out of the parlour limping.

Hiks.Hiks.Hiks.

Bu Rahayu was crying bitterly in her room, making Raina's surprised face receive harsh treatment from her making Rahayu feel numb.

"Is mbak yu satisfied? Did mbak yu remove all the toxins in the liver mbak yu? Why could yu hurt Raina so much! Hiks.Hiks!" Miss Romlah really could not hold back her tears of sadness.

"Nobody knows better than Raina and Romlah! And no one knows Raina better than the two of us!

The boy did the right thing by uniting Andre and his mother! Because Raina knew her mother would never be able to do that in her entire life!

Why did mbak yu never tell me that the trauma that you felt while caring for little Raina still stuck in my heart mbak yu?

Shouldn't yu tell me so I won't support Raina? I know mbak very well, and I also know mbak yu's feelings towards mbak yu's children! But this time, mbak yu is completely outrageous, by giving a slap and a rude remark to Raina, mbak yu has proven mbak yu himself that 'Adoptive mother will never be able to act like a real mother."

Ms. Romlah came out of Rahayu's room with a feeling of incredible tightness, she never expected to talk that cruel to the brother who had been caring for her with love.

Meanwhile, in a different place, Raina walks without direction and purpose, remembering her mother's words like a big blow to her body and soul.

"Hey... Do you want to be gone? If you want nothing not to be here. Just nahusahin." Said the driver who crossed the highway and almost hit Raina.

"Ahhh sorryffff!" Raina said quietly half-consciously. As far as the eye could see, Raina only saw the vehicle, she was completely unaware she was walking so far that her legs felt limp.

Do your best at the point where you stand, that's a realistic attitude. Raina just wants to do what she thinks is best, she really does not know what she thinks is good has hurt her mother's feelings deeply, and that's what made Raina's soul shaken so deeply.

The great shock that Raina faced today would at least take some time for her to be able to smile again.
