"Elo used to say that I had to fight for elo again. I... still have that chance, don't you, Han?"
Hanna was silent for a while, she did not understand the situation she was facing right now. This is not the first time Rafa has said that, but it still makes Hanna doubtful. Especially with Rafa's attitude that has not changed since their separation. Rafa is even close to other women, even when they have not officially separated.
"I-I can't deny Rafa's brother for that, but. I can't promise you a referral."
"W-why?"
The paper bag and ring box held by Rafa were simply removed from his grasp. Rafa took a few steps closer to Hanna, making Hanna feel sorry for coming to visit Rafa this morning.
"Elo's dating Arthur? Why don't you want to turn me around, Han? Tell me why, Han."
Hanna took a few steps back, to distance herself and Rafa again. "It's not about Arthur, but..."
Hanna paused her words, feeling hesitant to continue her sentence. Because he was afraid that it would make Rafa angry or even hurt him.
"But why?"
"That's because I was once injured by Rafa's brother. And I don't want to fall in the same hole."
"Han.I'm so sorry for all my past mistakes. I've changed, Han. I want us to reverse it and start it all right."
"Started everything right? How can it all start right if Rafa still has a relationship with another woman?"
I don't know what's going on with Hanna right now. The girl had even just shouted in front of Rafa, like she was venting her regret that she had been harboring all along.
"Who do you mean?"
"Gwen. Rafa has a relationship with him, right? I've even been writhing you two on a date a few times, even before we officially divorced."
"Don...." Rafa approached Hanna, grabbed Hanna's palm and grasped it tightly. "Gue and Gwen have nothing to do. Gwen likes me, and she always makes me want to keep her. He's-"
Hanna jerked Rafa's hand violently, making Rafa's grasp on her hand instantly detach.
"Han. This time I was serious. I have nothing to do with Gwen, and I have not taken any advantage of her either. You can ask him or anyone you believe, if you don't believe me."
Hanna fell silent. His mind is full now. Just a few days ago he decided to accept Arthur who had wanted to be close to him. But now when he meets Rafa, half of his heart even wants Rafa to fight for the other half of his heart.
"Please give me a chance, Han. I'll apologize to Mother and Wildan, and I'll ask permission from them again to-"
"Same mother Wildan must be sorry for Rafa, but probably won't give permission for us to be together again." Sela Hanna with a soft voice.
"I-it's me who's gonna try to convince them, Han. You just need to give me a chance, and give me a chance to give back. This time I really just want elo, Han. I know it's all too late, but I really love it the same elo."
Hanna is stunned, this is the first time Rafa has expressed her feelings to Hanna. But the other half of Hanna's heart still refused, maybe this was just a matter of affection. Just like her brother's affection for her, it's not the love Rafa once gave Alita.
"W-how can I trust Rafa's words?" Hanna said in a stammer.
"Whatever you want, Han. I will certainly follow all your will."
"So I can ask Rafa's brother to go and not show up again in my life."
"Don't ask for it, Han. I told you I just want elo, so I won't be out of your life until anytime."
Silence took over for a while, before Hanna made a decision. Hanna's decision is rejected by Rafa, but Rafa quickly agrees.
"From now on don't use 'elo-gue' again, it's the right greeting if you intend to pedekate with someone."
"Okay, I. uh I agree. What else?"
"This summer, we have to go back to Indonesia together. Rafa can start from the beginning there."
"Okay, deal!" Rafa replied loudly and followed with a big smile on his lips.
He knew Hanna was still harboring feelings for him, so it seemed like his efforts would not be so difficult later on. Don't know Rafa if it turns out Hanna asked him to come home, because Hanna wants to know how Rafa feels to Alita right now. Will the feeling of love so great that it has just disappeared after Alita said she wanted to marry Theo?
