Rafa put down his phone. A few moments ago he was busy calling his coworkers, and asked permission if he could not return to the office because of a sudden affair. He could not explain in detail about his sudden business, which clearly his business this time could not be abandoned and ignored.
Observing Alita who was enjoying her meal, Rafa gave a small smile. Unlike usual Alita eat in a way like. Perhaps this is due to the effects of pregnancy hormones, or indeed the woman was starving after more than two hours of travel. Rafa held out a tissue towards Alita, which made Alita stop her eating session.
"That girl is gini, Lit? It was said that he wanted ramen, until here even yakisoba, sushi, mixed fried sushi. You starving?"
"Well I ate for both my children, not to mention I finished my long trip from London here. You don't know what it's like to be pregnant."
"Hahahaha. So... Did you run out here because of Theo's craving?"
Alita answered Rafa's question with a nod. He was too hungry and just wanted to finish the food he ordered earlier.
"What's wrong with you anyway, Lit? Theo met his ex probably because of their work in the same field, right?"
"Yes, but he'll talk to me if he's here to meet his ex. Try if yesterday I didn't want to come here, can it be so free of them?"
Rafa chuckles. A lot has changed with Alita. Alita never used to sulk and nag like this when she was angry or jealous. Alita would choose to be silent, never even nagging at him.
But look now, Alita has really changed drastically since being married by Theo. Or maybe it's changed since Alita got pregnant.
"But they don't have physical contact and things that lead right? If a handshake or a chipika-cipiki is natural, Lit. Many now if you meet so, so you do not need to suspect so."
"I don't like it anyway! Why didn't he tell the others to come here? He must know if his ex will also come?"
Again Rafa could not hold back his laughter.
"Well, you're also going to Bristol to take me. Last year also deliberately here to ask me to take a walk, you do not think how Theo feels? You're meeting with your ex."
Alita stopped eating, silent as she pondered what Rafa had just said.
"But he hired people to follow me everywhere."
"Hahahahaha.it's up to you, Lit."
"He's not my girlfriend." Rafa answered casually to enjoy the food he ordered earlier.
"Well, this is how you are! You've met her parents, Fa. If you are not serious from the beginning, you should not have met. You're not afraid of the same face of his fierce father?"
"Udah I told you she's not my boyfriend, Lit. And meeting this afternoon because it's her birthday, she kept asking me to make her lunch with her parents. That's just doang."
"But you are wrong, Fa. You should have refused when he invited you to meet his parents. If this is the same, you're stuck with her game."
Rafa shook his head. "Wouldn't, from the beginning her father didn't like me."
Rafa then confirmed his sitting position, then put his chopsticks to be replaced with a fork provided on the table.
"You ever eat pasta? You have to stick your fork like this, then roll it out perfectly, then you put it in your mouth. That's how to eat the right pasta, unlike eating instant noodles and other noodles." Rafa's speech mimicked the tone and accent of papa Giulia that was thick with his Italian accent.
That made Alita laugh. He did not expect that his ex-lover was not liked by his friend's parents just a matter of how to eat pasta.
"Well, I can't imagine what it would be like if you married her. There's gonna be a lot of things that her dad complains to you all the time."
"Not to be overshadowed, because that's never going to happen." Rafa put down the phone he just held. "Buruan dalurin food, Theo is already half the way. I want to take you to relax in the park. We met Theo there."
"Why in the park? Why not just in your house? I want to relax while watching TV."
Rafa shook his head. "I can't just invite anyone into that house. Especially if you are pregnant like this? Beuh, I may have misunderstood my papa, Lit. We are in the park, yes, we will find a place so you can sit back and relax while lying there. Okay?"
There was nothing Alita could do but agree to Rafa's proposal. It is also impossible for him to force his way into the house, the house he knows as the wedding gift house of Rafa and Hanna from Rayyan's brother.
"Fa, this is all you pay for, right?" Alita asked after finishing her meal.
"Yeah.I paid for everything. At most I send the receipt to Theo to be replaced."
"Well, um you said handsome is stingy, son. Pantesan until now is still single, right?" Sindir Alita while rubbing her protruding stomach.
