Third

1 week later..

Knock..knock..

knock knock..

"mom.. mom.. mom?"

Early in the morning when Andara had just finished performing her mandatory dawn, the sound of rushing banging from Raga made Andara stumbled to let go of his munnah.

was about to leave after placing the prayer tool at random, but the attack of a hug from behind made Andara even more restless.

Andara quickly turned around, grateful that She didn't see a worried face or anything like that, but a bright smile that was already etched on her son's handsome face.

"Why son, the dawn is already very excited, isn't it, I'm surprised"

Not the answer that Andara got, again Raga just chuckled while hugging Andara too tightly, causing the woman who is now 32 years old to scream and lightly hit Raga's back.

"Mommy comes with Raga first, Raga will explain"

didn't have time to answer, in fact Saga had already pulled Andara's hand towards the living room where there was already a laptop turned on.

herding Andara to sit beside him, Raga quickly showed Andara the screen of his laptop to read.

Despite living in the village and being an outcast, Andara still managed to finish her junior high school, before finally her aunt and uncle agreed not to send her back to school.

Even though Andara went to school following a scholarship path and never spent a penny on her uncles and aunts, She only hoped to be able to pursue her dream of becoming a doctor.

but after that day, Andara understood that her uncle and aunt wanted to use her existence as a maid.

"Scholarship? What scholarship?" Saga knew that his mother wasn't clueless, his mother just couldn't believe what she was reading.

"Mom remember a week ago when we first moved, Raga was looking for a school that opened a scholarship path, luckily there was, that day was also the last online exam, and these are the results of the exam, Raga and 4 others were selected."

Andara was still silent trying to digest Raga's words which he still couldn't believe

"But.. it's online right, Son? You're not afraid this is a scam." Andara spoke doubtfully, She didn't doubt Raga's abilities, but this is Jakarta, more or less Andara knows about the city She currently lives in, after all She doesn't want her son to be disappointed .

Raga firmly shook his head "This is the school's real account, mom, it even has the owner's signature"

with a smile that gradually radiated, Andara smiled with tears that also came out.

Raga swiftly hugged his mother, this is what he always wanted, seeing his mother crying happy, Raga hopes that he will always be able to make his mother smile like this.

"mommy is proud of you, son, very proud.. mommy lucky to have a child like you"

Saga chuckled happily.. "Raga is luckier to have Mommy"

"Then let's get ready, we'll find a uniform for you and your school supplies, today we're will celebrating your success.. come on"

"But mom--"

"no but honey.. let's get ready"

"but..."

"Want to argue with mom?" asked Andara with a fierce face

while Raga grimaced on the spot, he took the laptop and showed what time it was

times Andara chuckled softly.. her hands cursed and slapped her forehead which was answered by Raga's witty laugh.

even though only 5 minutes ago She prayed the dawn.

❤❤❤❤

08.45

Andara and Raga arrived at the nearest mall they rented, and even then, the distance was quite far, so they had to take Angkot 3 times.

the two of them are both the first time entering the shopping center

The difference is that Raga casually walks in, while Andara screams happily even though it's not too loud considering the circumstances around her.

different from when the two of them climbed the escalator which made things turn around so that both of them became the center of attention around, Andara is really someone who is able to break the cold Raga in public.

The handsome teenager repeatedly laughed softly when there was a tug from Andara's hand who was afraid to climb the escalator

until finally Raga managed to force Andara even with a hand willing to stretch Andara down the escalator.

Now Raga believes that many visitors there think they are a couple, because Andara's face and body still look like they are in their 20s.

let it be.. Raga prefers it like that, so that no one will disturb them.

the school supply store would be the first they visited.

raga just needed to sit back and relax after telling the shop assistant the name of his school which he felt was quite famous.

let his mother choose the size, after all it was his mother who had been buying clothes for him.

half an hour passed and Raga was quite bored just by looking at the contents of his smart phone which he couldn't help but admit if it was a gift from Indra.

ah.. remind Raga to change his cellphone if he has more money later.

His beads wandered around looking for his mother's figure, it only took a few seconds before his eyes finally widened when he saw his mother carrying 6 paperbags in her hands.

"Mom.. what are you shopping for?"

Andara smirked "a lot.. uniforms, bags, shoes, notebooks--"

"Why do you have to be here mom? Uniforms are fine, but other equipment can be bought at the market as usual."

Andara chuckled disapprovingly, She knew that her son felt bad for her.

"For Mommy child, it has to be the best, after all, it's not much.. you still have a lot of money with Mommy" Andara joked at the end, which made Raga look at him sadly.

"It feels like the only one who belongs to Raga is mommy.. nothing else" said Raga slowly who was given a caress on his shoulder.

"Besides, this is used for a year... once, right?"

Raga can't help but nod slowly, whatever... as long as his mother is happy

"again.. you have something to buy"

Raga firmly shook his head, this is all Raga is sure that his mother has spent more than one million, even though the proceeds from the sale of the house and motorbike that are already in his name are still quite large, but he doesn't want his mother to work too hard after this.

"ok.. then we go around first, I'm sure we will rarely come here"

Raga couldn't help but nod, the spirit of shopping will always be in a woman's mind, even though his mother is not too much like other women out there.

Along the way, Andara continued to talk to Raga with the paper bag that had been half taken over by Raga.

Raga just cleared his throat, to be honest his lazy soul gushed when he had to go shopping.

until Raga felt his hand being pulled tightly by Andara who was already excitedly pointing to the cake shop.

again.. Raga just followed, Raga even looks like a father who will be taken anywhere for the sake of his daughter.

a waitress asked their order, and after choosing the mother of one child pointed to 2 different types of cakes.

Raga shook his head with a faint smile as he watched his mother with sparkling eyes receive her order that was already wrapped neatly.

"His Girlfriend is beautiful, bro" until a rebuke from someone behind him made Raga turn his head immediately, finding a man who he thought was in his 20s, staring at his mother with interest which automatically turned on his danger radar.

"If you know my Girlfriend, why are you still watching?" with his trademark cold voice, Raga rebuked, the teenager quickly approached Andara and put his arm around his shoulder.

took him quickly out of the shop after previously glancing sarcastically at the man who was looking at him and Andara.

Making the man shudder and choose to avert his eyes as fast as he can, he thought that the teenager was not the lover of the girl who had caught his eye in the first place.

Looking at the man's age, he seems to be a bit younger than the woman he is targeting

shhh.. maybe it's a trending date with a slightly older woman.

❤❤❤❤

"What's wrong, Son?" Andara's voice sounded strange seeing the change in her son's facial expression when he left the cake shop.

Instead of answering, Raga shrugged in annoyance.

"Why is it?" Andara asked in bewilderment as she looked back, to be precise at the pastry shop She had entered - which Raga quickly caught hold of, causing Andara to frown even more.

"It's better if you eat cake there" choosing to distract his mother, Raga finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Andara nodded and approached the chair Raga pointed to.

while Raga ruffled her hair gently, I don't know... maybe from now on he would be more possessive of his mother.

He didn't want anyone to hurt his beloved beautiful mother again.

A call from Andara made Raga approach Andara, who had already unwrapped the cake, revealing a brownish square cake with cheese topping on top.

without waiting any longer the beautiful woman devoured the cake, frowning for a moment before a gentle nod appeared on the face that was enjoying the chocolate cake.

"try you taste" actually Raga is not a lover of cakes and sweets, he just likes the cake made by his mother which he thinks is very suitable for his tongue.

but seeing his mother's hopeful face made Raga couldn't help but open his mouth, without minding he took a bite of the cake that was still in his mother's hand.

until a faint frown was created again this time from his handsome face which made Raga swallow his cake as fast as possible.

"So sweet mom, did they give 2 kilos of sugar?" and Raga's cynical comment made Andara chuckle, She had already guessed that her son would not like it.

"That's why Mommy told you to try," She answered lightly, while Raga was already drinking the mineral water he bought while waiting for Andara.

Packing up the remaining brownies that were still quite a lot, Andara switched to opening the cheesecake cake which had made him tempted.

a second later Andara took another bite of her favorite cake apart from the red velvet she had made herself.

From the start, Andara was really good at making cakes, armed with the cake magazine She had bought before, until the magazine broke and She memorized the recipe in her head.

"want?" Andara offered back which was immediately answered with a sharp glare and a quick sway of Raga.

"nala want.." until a funny slurred voice from beside Raga made them both look at each other, seeing a beautiful 3 year old girl with a face as cute as a barbie looking attracted to the cake that Andara was holding.

Andara was so excited, the first mother reflexively picked up the child and sat her down where She sat before, while she herself chose to squat in front of the toddler.

"Gosh Son, Whose child is this so cute?" asked Andara excitedly while stroking the cheek of the 3-year-old toddler.

while Raga rolls his lazy eyes, remember... the only woman he cares about is his mother

"nala want this" and the voice woke Andara again, she kept the cheesecake in her hand which she thought had too much egg, swapped it for a brownie after she split it and gave the part that had no bite marks, as quickly as the cake changed hands as quickly as the toddler had devoured it.

Andara chuckled at how greedily the toddler ate the cake, Andara even forgot Raga who was currently staring at her.

"Mom.. we don't know who She is" Andara nodded slowly, she answered while cleaning the brownie crumbs that fell from the toddler's mouth.

"After She eats, we'll ask where her parents are" Raga sighed disapprovingly.

His eyes shifted to the toddler beside him who was also looking at him with a mouth full of chocolate and his teeth grinning widely.

Raga frowned in disdain, he admitted that the toddler beside him was beautiful, but to deal with other women, Raga was still not interested.
