"That's a gift for your wedding with Hanna. Sorry, I just found out."
Rafa heard clearly what Alita had just said. His smile slowly disappeared, along with Alita's gaze which now led to him. If Alita was nervous, maybe now the nervousness has moved to Rafa.
"D-where do you know? William said that?" Rafa asked in a stern tone.
Alita shook her head. "No. William or any of our friends no one ever told me about your marriage to Hanna."
"T-keep who?"
"Someone." Alita paused her words, then leaned her back on the back of the chair. "I just didn't know you were going to deal with all this from me. Even Hanna was silent. I'm disappointed in you."
Rafa's hand squeezed the paper bag from Alita firmly. He couldn't believe Alita would find out so soon. Even when their relationship has been getting closer, and when Rafa has not decided what the next plan is.
"Sorry." Rafa said softly. That's the only word he can say now.
From her seat, Alita twrsily smiled. He feels dejavu with this situation. Even when Rafa said the word 'sorry' slowly, his memory was immediately drawn to the events of a few years ago. When Rafa so steadfastly lies to himself and makes out with his ex-lover.
"It's okay. I don't want to bother with that. Maybe I'm too stupid to lie to you again."
"Lit, I can clear everything. My marriage is the same as Hanna's not what you think. Our marriage is just status, Lit. We haven't even said anything until now, it's just the status of the doang."
"That's for you! But maybe for Hanna, your parents, and Hanna's parents don't think it's like that. Your marriage is valid in the eyes of religion and also the state, the Fa. You're making that game!"
Alita's angry. Of course he was angry because Rafa was lying to him again. The difference is, he can better temper his current anger. In addition to being in a restaurant where many visitors were eating lunch, Alita also realized she had also made a mistake.
Salah for insulting the presence of Rafa back with open arms, without investigating it terlwbih first. In the past, he asked William a lot about how Rafa really is.
"I just want us to turn around, Lit. I still love you."
"That's impossible, Fa. There are many people you should consider if your marriage with Hanna is over. It's not all about me, Fa."
"But, Lit-"
"And what you've been doing all this time it's not love." Alita interrupts Rafa's words. Actually he wanted to leave this place immediately, let his hungry stomach be filled when he reached his brother's house. At least his dealings with Rafa will be done right now.
Alita's eyes have been teary, but she can still hold her back from crying in front of Rafa. Nah! She can't
"Seriously, Lit. I just love you. It's not all because I'm curious or anything like what you were talking about."
Alita shook her head. As much as possible he denied all the excuses Rafa had given him.
"This is not true, Fa. Even if all the reasons you say are true, but your way of fighting for me is wrong, Fa. As much as you love me, if we are together later. I will even be labeled as a snatch of people's husbands. Do you think I'm going that way?"
Rafa's down. Yeah, the way is wrong. Everything Alita said was true. Although Alita does not flirt and try to seize Rafa, but if she still accepts Rafa in her arms, then Alita will still get the title.
"We can be friends, Fa."
"No, Lit. It's not the kind of relationship I want."
"Trust, Fa. What you feel now for me is not love. Try once in a while you understand your own feelings, surely the feeling of love is not the same as before, when you with his spirit chasing me to be a girlfriend."
Alita smiled, reminiscing about how Rafa used to be so patient and worked hard to attract her heart. But Rafa who was in front of him now was different. It was no longer Rafa whose eyes and heart were only on him.
"Maybe there's Hanna." Connect Alita with her sweetest smile. "You guys have been close for a long time, but now your relationship is very close. Even though your marriage relationship is only for status, but I'm sure you have a sense of Hanna. I used to see some candid photos of Hanna on your face."
Rafa raised his head. For a moment his gaze seemed to look at her, trying to remember how many photos of Hanna he had taken deliberately and secretly. Even during a holiday to London yesterday, Rafa still does that.
"I'm going home now. Better.. after this we do not need to meet each other like this. I do not want to cause speculation that will become crowded in your family, and the severity of making your marriage destroyed. I hope that after this you really should consider Hanna. Marriage isn't a joke, Fa."
"Lit...." Rafa tries to prevent Alita's departure, but his attempt fails. Alita had moved from her seat, and was peeping at her cheek.
Perhaps, this is called a goodbye kiss for the last time.
"Be careful on the way back to Bristol, thanks for the souvenirs, and. Greetings to Hanna." Alita said before finally walking out of the restaurant, leaving Rafa who was still fixed on his position.
Rafa does not believe his attempt to get Alita back failed, and he feels angry. Not only angry with himself, but also angry with someone. Someone who has informed Alita of her status, whom she does not yet know.
