Back To You's

The Chapter 164

"Oh, and again, we're not in a relationship that requires me to keep my distance from other guys."

Rafa fell silent, then said his apology in a soft voice.

"Continue your lunch and work. I'm going back to the room." Rafa retreated his chair, and moved from his seat.

Maybe he should have gone back to his room. In fact, he should follow his brother back this afternoon because it turns out everything is not in accordance with his expectations.

"I'm done by three, brother." Said Hanna who stopped Rafa's steps and made him look at her.

"An hour of my work is over. Let's finish everything when my work hours are over. I'll let Rafa know later."

Rafa nodded his head, then continued his steps to return to his room.

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

After getting a message from Hanna, Rafa immediately slid into the lobby to see Hanna. Hanna said she'd get it all done today, and Rafa's prepared for all the possibilities.

Since coming down earlier, Rafa always reminded himself not to do stupid things that even made Hanna more distant from him. It didn't matter if Hanna asked for some time to rethink it, provided they could get back together again.

"Where are we going?" Rafa asked as soon as he met Hanna.

"Where else? There's only a beach, right?" Hanna answered with a laugh.

The two then walked together, down the road that took them to the beach which is located not far from the hotel.

There was no conversation between them. Both Hanna and Rafa were busy with their own thoughts. After choosing a comfortable place to sit and enjoy an afternoon on the beach, then the interaction began to be created between them.

"I'm sorry for what happened." Rafa broke the silence and only Hanna answered with a nod of her head.

"I'm too much." Rafa Imbuh.

"Sir Rafa always does that, right?"

"What?" Rafa asked confusedly.

Hanna just shrugged her shoulders while smiling towards Rafa.

"I was like that, Han. Especially for the people I care about."

"So.. I should feel proud or...?"

"Proudly, Han!" Rafa interrupts. "You should be proud of being more attentive than I have been all this time."

"But..is not a lot of other girls who get attention from Rafa's sister?"

"That was." Rafa snorted in annoyance. "You're saying this when I'm in high school or college, that's real."

Hanna laughed while nodding her head. "Nyenengin people get a reward, right?"

Rafa breaks Hanna's hair, making the girl nag but Rafa doesn't care about her. But then, Rafa's facial expression turned full of shock and there might be fear.

"We need to get out of here, Han." Rafa said while standing up and shaking the beach sand attached to his pants.

"W-why?" Hanna asked in confusion.

"There's someone else coming this way, and I'm sure it's gonna bother you a lot." Rafa took Hanna's bag and extended her hand to Hanna to stand up immediately.

"Who?" Hanna looked in all directions, but found no answer.

"I'll clear up later." Rafa helps Hanna shake off the beach sand attached to Hanna's dicelana, making Hanna reflex retreat but held back by Rafa with a grip on one of her hands. "He-"

Rafa had not yet finished his sentence, a voice sounded by calling Rafa's name. Hanna and Rafa turned to look at the source of the voice, towards a girl with long, unraveled hair that looked so sweet.

"Ah, finally met also Rafa's brother here." Said the girl as she walked over to Hanna and Rafa.

Hanna turned her head towards Rafa, of course wanting to ask for an explanation. But Rafa just looked at him and tightened his hand.

"A-Amelian? You here?" Rafa said stammeredly, feeling awkward with the situation he was not expecting.

Amelia nodded her head. "There's a friend of mine who's married, and the venue is here. Yesterday Papi said that you and Brother Rayyan were on a business trip here, so I stopped by."

"Oh, is that it?" Reply Rafa with a witty.

Amelia glanced at Hanna, looking at her from top to bottom. Then his gaze was fixed on the hand link of Rafa and Hanna that seemed so tight.

"D-he...who, brother?" Amelia asked as she pointed towards Hanna.

"I'm Hanna." Hanna instantly stretched out her hand as fast as lightning, before Rafa made a sound to introduce herself.

"You may have heard my name before." Imbuh Hanna while shaking Amelia's hand enthusiastically.

Amelia shook her head. Of course he doesn't know Hanna. Even this was her first time meeting Hanna, how could Hanna say if she knew him?

Hanna laughed, followed by Rafa who also laughed to ward off the awkwardness between them.

"So this Hanna"

"I'm Rafa's ex-wife." Hanna again interrupts ahead of Rafa.

"And maybe we'll refer back." Hanna continued while raising her hand with Rafa up, as if flaunting it to Amelia.

Rafa turned to Hanna. Her chest was instantly filled with happiness over Hanna's answer just now. The smile on her lips instantly expanded with its width, and of course the squeeze of her finger onto Hanna's finger grew even more stiff.

Amelia looks still confused, maybe even she is in shock to hear the fact that Rafa has been married. Even now it is in the process of getting back together.

"I-I'm sorry, I. I really-don't know." Amelia said softly. His eyes were clear if he was disappointed now, but he still tried to toughen up.

"No problem. Our wedding was simple and only invited close family."

"Seder... how?" Amelia returned confused.

Hanna understands. Because the wedding of Rayyan and Eowyn was held with a party that was so luxurious and invited many people.

"What-what because-"

"No!" Hanna answered quickly. He understood where Amelia's question was going. "It's not because of MBA or any other incident. We got married impromptu because we had to go to college together to Bristol. Our parents were so wary of letting us go so easily without a legitimate bond, so we married hehehehe...."

"Oh, so." Amelia answered with a sigh.

He does know that Rafa has not been home from college in Bristol for a long time, but his father and mother did not inform him of Rafa's status. Didn't her parents know Rafa was married? Well, because from Hanna's explanation just now their wedding was organized with impromptu and simple.

"You... come here with your friends, right?" Now it was Rafa's turn to make a sound, and Amelia answered with a nod of her head.

"That's it, we go first. There's something else we need to do now. So, enjoy the sunset, Mel." Rafa smiled sweetly at Amelia, then walked along with Hanna to leave Amelia who was still staring with a pouting face there.
