Nikita shifted her seat so that she could lean on the wall of the bed, correcting her position so that she could be comfortable telling Raka's story.
"Raka ... I want to tell you about someone and I want to know what you think about what I'm telling you." said Nikita seriously.
"Tell me Nik, I'll hear you." said Raka calmly.
Nikita began to tell stories, from the beginning of her meeting with Elina to the last dinner invitation incident. Everything is told without anything to hide.
Nikita tells about Elina who already thinks of herself as Elina's daughter, and also about Elina's desire to want her to be friends with Bagas.
On the opposite side, Raka is still listening silently, even though he occasionally hears a long sigh of Raka.
For some reason, there was a feeling of a little tightness in his chest, when Nikita told me that Elina wanted Nikita to be close to her son. But Raka could still hold his feelings.
Raka still tried to calm down listening to Nikita speak.
"Raka ... do you think I'm doing this right?" asked Nikita seriously. Nikita felt something sad in Raka's long sigh.
"Raka, can you hear me?" Nikita asked repeating her question.
"Yes Nik, I heard." said Raka stopping there, only another sigh that Nikita heard.
"Ya Ka ... what do you want to say?" asked Nikita in a low voice waiting for Raka's answer.
"I've always believed in you ... about all of what you do. I always support you because I believe what you do must have a reason. And that excuse is the best for all of us." said Raka trying to calm down.
"You sure Ka, with what you said?" Nikita asked, still doubting Raka's opinion.
"I am very confident." Raka replied with certainty.
"Now it's my turn to ask, are you still sure of your feelings for me, will never change?" asked Raka seriously.
Raka's question made Nikita's breath pause for a moment.
Nikita really felt sick to hear that. This is Raka, Nikita knows there is pain in Raka's heart, but he always covers it with calmness and maturity.
Nikita tried to calm down, she didn't want to be nervous about Raka's question.
"I feel sure Ka, my feelings will not change. If our destiny is indeed together, I believe we will be together. I will always take care of my feelings, and keep the trust that you have given me." said Nikita with certainty.
***
After telling everything to Raka about his relationship with Elina, Nikita's feelings are relieved and she is very grateful because her relationship with Raka is still sweet, even cuter than before.
Raka called her more intensely in his spare time, even on his day off, Raka came to Bandung again to accompany Nikita for a walk to the beach.
Nikita knows, there is fear in Raka ever since he found out that Elina wanted Nikita to be close to her son.
There is a lesson that Nikita took, Raka showed more love and care.
And it makes Nikita's heart happy.
Nikita's relationship with Elina is also getting better even though she rarely meets, because Elina travels more often.
However, Elina always gave her news every day.
And sometimes I also ask Nikita to buy Bagas' favorite cake. And Nikita sincerely obeyed Elina's wishes even though Nikita could not give it directly, but Nikita entrusted it to Parman, the guardian of Elina's house.
Until this afternoon, Nikita was surprised by the presence of Elina at her house.
Nikita just got home and was told by Hana that Elina was already fifteen minutes ago waiting for her in the living room.
Nikita came to Elina to say hello and kissed the back of Elina's hand.
"Why didn't you tell me first, Mom. Now Momy is waiting like this." Nikita approached Elina and sat beside her.
Elina stroked Nikita's cheek and smiled softly.
"It's okay, Nikita, I just wanted to surprise you." said Elina with a smile.
Nikita's heart was blooming with Elina's surprise that suddenly came and it also made her curious.
"What's wrong Mom? if there is something Momy can call me home." said Nikita with full gaze.
"Nikita ... Momy wants to give you a side job, do you want love?" Elina asked, looking straight into Nikita's eyes as if expecting something that Nikita must fulfill.
Nikita smiled broadly, happy if there was a side job where her income would increase.
Because indeed her teaching salary is not that big even though it has made her grateful.
"What side job is it, Mom?" asked Nikita, still curious as she gripped Elina's hand tightly.
"Work with Bagas, dear." said Elina seriously.
"DEG"
Nikita's heart was beating fast again.
Elina's words made Nikita nervous and didn't understand Elina's meaning.
Elina knew that Nikita must be surprised that Elina explained it in more detail.
"Nikita, you only accompany Bagas to work when you finish teaching. The term you work only part time, besides working in the office you also pay attention to all Bagas' needs at work. Regarding salary, you will still get full salary. How dear?" asked Elina after explaining at length about her wish.
Nikita still didn't budge, her mind still didn't accept Elina's explanation.
Nikita's feelings are complicated not because of a part-time job, but because her part-time job involves her with Bagas.
Honestly, Nikita was so confused to answer that she still needed time to think, she didn't want to be careless.
After a few seconds, Nikita looked at Elina with an apologetic look.
Nikita sighed heavily trying to answer Elina's request.
"Momy ... before that I apologize." said Nikita, gripping Elina's fingers tightly, and putting them on her lap. Nikita looked at Elina guiltily.
"Momy ... I have to think about it before accepting this job. I have to check again with my work time at school." said Nikita trying to give an excuse that did not disappoint Elina.
"Give me a few days Mom ... I'll think about it quickly." Nikita continued with a serious face.
Elina nodded her head weakly as if in despair. She doesn't know why she likes Nikita so much since meeting her and hopes for more of her. Elina wanted Nikita so badly to be someone close to her son.
