Back To You's

Chapter 123

"Hanna's probably coming home on vacation this summer, Fa. Are you sure you want to be there?" Mama Salma said by phone.

Rafa accidentally activates the loud speaker when receiving a call from his mother, because now he is busy cooking for dinner. Yes, since her breakup with Hanna, Rafa started trying to cook and do homework. Aunt May is now only asked to come once a week, to clean all the rooms in the house only.

"Hanna... coming home?" Rafa turned towards his phone which he put on the dining table while turning off the stove.

The menu is always ordinary. Just a handy food menu that recipes and how to make it he cheat from youtube.

"Yes. Brother said there's a chance Hanna might come home, maybe because Wildan and his mother didn't come to Bristol a while ago. You go home too, Fa?"

Rafa sighed. He still remembers how the father forbade him to go home before his college was actually finished.

"Rafa has to be here, ma. Rafa's lecture isn't over yet."

"Mama will help me talk to papa. Mama-"

"Ma...." Rafa interrupted his mother's words. "Rafa is fine here. Rafa will try to finish college here soon so Rafa can go home. No more mama talking to papa about Rafa's return, it must make mama and papa so fight right?"

"Aren't you the same mom? Don't you want to see Eowyn's newborn child? Or messing with Abby?"

"Ma. of course Rafa is very much the same mom and everyone at home. But Rafa has to finish Rafa's responsibilities here. Rafa asks for his prayer same mom yes, let Rafa lecture not many obstacles here."

"Sure, Fa. Mama's always blackmailing all the kids, mama. But the promise with mom, once your college is over, you should go home soon, right?"

"Hm... Rafa promised mom."

And Rafa's phone chat with his mother lasted until a few minutes later. After the breakup, her mother called her every night. The mother was willing to sacrifice a few minutes of sleep just to call her youngest child. The reason is not because Rafa does not want to feel lonely at home.

...****************...

College holidays become an opportunity for Rafa to laze. The sun had risen since then but he was still lulled in his dreamland. It is common for Rafa to skip breakfast every day, because his body prefers to stay asleep rather than to get up and fill his stomach.

The sound of the doorbell was heard several times, making Rafa finally forced to open his eyes. Time has shown eight o'clock over ten minutes, and this is arguably his fastest morning wake-up record on holiday. Because usually he will wake up at ten in the morning.

Putting his foot out of bed, Rafa grabbed the shirt he had last night. Then put it on while walking out of his room. It's not uncommon for Aunt May to come this early, because she always asks Aunt May to come during the day.

"K-kak Rafa just woke up?" Hanna asked awkwardly as she looked at Rafa's still disheveled appearance. The shirt that Rafa was wearing was even upside down and was not noticed by Rafa.

Rafa nodded his head. The situation was really awkward because Hanna came suddenly.

"Come in, Han." Rafa shifted her body and opened the door wider, but Hanna seemed reluctant to go back inside the house.

"Gue said come in, Han. I just woke up and my head was a little dizzy from waking up all of a sudden." Rafa replied while massaging the base of his nose.

Rafa did not lie, indeed since yesterday his head felt dizzy on the back. Plus he just slept at three in the morning because it was too cool with his game.

Hanna finally entered the house she had left behind for quite a long time. His eyes looked around, not much had changed and the house still looked clean and tidy. Hanna believes this must be all because Aunt May cleaned it up.

"Want a drink?" Rafa who still looks awkward.

Hanna shook her head while smiling towards Rafa. Hanna then handed over a paper bag she was carrying to Rafa.

"Sorry to have it back now."

Rafa opened the paper bag, because he was curious what kind of item Hanna was going to return. It turned out to be the jacket he had lent Hanna while on vacation in London. Then Rafa's hand reached into a navy velvet box, and opened it.

"We. have separated. So I thought, I should return the wedding ring to Rafa's sister."

"Save it." Rafa closes the box and extends it to Hanna, but Hanna rejects it.

"I have no right to keep it."

"Gue love this to elo, so it's lo's."

Hanna was still unwilling to accept the box containing the wedding ring, so that made Rafa feel a little upset.

"It's up to you to sell or throw it away, but don't turn it back to me."

"But Brother..."

"Why?" Rafa interrupts. "What's your new boyfriend ngelarang to nyimpen goods given me?"

"Daughter?" Hanna scrunched her forehead, feeling confused as to who the 'boyfriend' Rafa was referring to. Isn't the one with the new boyfriend Rafa?

"I think Rafa misunderstood. I don't have anything to do with anybody."

Rafa then raised his head and smiled at Hanna. "Elo used to say that I had to fight for elo again. I... still have that chance, don't you, Han?"
