Rafa has to pick up Alita after lunch. It's not even lunchtime yet, but Rafa has prepared. Rafa doesn't want to be late. He did not want to make Alita more angry and silence him.
After enjoying her lunch earlier, Rafa rushed towards Alita's house. There was a feeling of fear in him to get out of the car and knock on the door of Alita's family home. Though usually he will be very excited if he will meet the girl.
Rafa chooses to grab her phone and type a message for Alita. A message informing Alita that she is in front of her house. But the reply from Alita turned out to be unexpected, the girl seemed to have put up a sturdy wall for her.
Baby & baby
Just wait. It's not past lunchtime.
It doesn't matter to Rafa if he has to wait until Alita is ready to see him. Moreover, for several days he was able to survive because Alita did not want to meet him. Now just wait a few minutes, and after that he will be able to meet with Alita, to let go of his longing.
......................
Rafa's heart beats faster when he finds Alita coming out of his door and walking towards his car. His lips curled up making an irresistible wide smile again. Although in fact Rafa had to go back to swallowing the bitter pill because of Alita's response was too cold.
"Go to the beach alone, and park his car near the bridge" said Alita while installing her seatbelt.
Rafa gawks, he is not even given a chance to say hello after a few days of not seeing. Alita even gave the order as if she was talking to her driver. Despite his annoyance, Rafa has no other choice but to obey Alita's will. Run the car to where Alita meant.
Silent. That's what happened on their way to the beach. Rafa accidentally does not turn on the radio in his car, hoping there will be a chat created. But apparently not, Alita instead prefers to focus on her phone. While Rafa? Of course he did not dare to speak first.
Arriving at the bridge, Rafa rushed down after Alita who first came down. The girl stood with her arms propped up on the bridge fence. The atmosphere there was quiet, probably because of the sun's quite hot that afternoon.
"Hot, Yang. Let's find somewhere else let's not get too hot." Rafa finally ventured to open his voice, turning to Alita who still looked beautiful even though her hair was a mess due to the wind.
"No, we're talking here."
Rafa chose to be quiet. Alita no longer calls him with a call dear. The girl was even reluctant to look at him.
"I guess at twenty-one this year, I'll be happier. My faith was further strengthened by the many surprises I received on my birthday some time ago. You even prepared that amazing surprise and gift."
Alita paused her speech, trying to re-assemble the strength as her tears had now begun to gather in her eyes.
"Until finally an email appeared that destroyed all the happiness I received from the morning. I was even forced to grieve the first day I grew older."
"You're cheating, right?" Just like that question came out of Alita's lips.
The blink of an eye made Alita's tears immediately fall down her cheeks. Along with how shocked Rafa was by the question Alita had just asked.
"Darling...." Rafa approaches, tries to touch Alita's arm but is rejected.
"Jawab, that was my question. I don't want to accuse you, I have proof. Do I need to show it to you?"
Rafa immediately knew what Alita meant. Perhaps it was his error some time ago that made Alita silence him, and now he does not even know what to say. His chest felt tight, he felt angry. Angry at himself for disappointing Alita, and also angry at Jihan who might be behind this incident.
"Aren't you going to answer?" Alita asked back when Rafa just lowered his head. "So what I saw in the video was true?"
Alita was no longer able to hold back her increasingly heavy tears. All of this he had himself arrested a few days ago, and now he was ready to blow it up.
"Darling, I can-"
"How long is it?" with trembling lips, Alita interrupted Rafa's words. "Are you unhappy with me?"
"I'm happy, baby. Very happy." Rafa slashes his distance with Alita, holding both of Alita's arms despite the girl trying to resist her touch.
"I'm not having an affair. I swear as long as we're in a relationship, I never once had any intention of cheating on you. I don't really know what video you're talking about. But if because of the video you're just disappointed and accuse me of cheating, maybe I can justify it. I did come to my ex a while ago, not because I was having an affair, baby. I just wanted to help him, but it just happened. And I really regret it. Sorry."
Not only Alita who shed tears, Rafa also shed her tears. Maybe this is the first time Rafa has cried out of love. Maybe Rafa will be the laughingstock of William and his friends for crying. But Rafa doesn't care, he feels so guilty for betraying Alita.
Alita immediately jerked both hands of Rafa holding her arms. Rafa's explanation just now not only answers Alita's questions, but also hurts her heart more. As if having super strength, Alita's right hand even so quickly landed hard on Rafa's left cheek.
Rafa was surprised when the hard slap landed on his cheek. Rafa did not even suspect that Alita would do so. But if you look at what he has done wrong to Alita, Rafa understands that one slap alone will not be enough to treat the wound in the heart of this lover.
"Your work, Fa!"
Alita could no longer hold back her emotions. His two hands just blindly beat Rafa's chest. Henceforth. Alita doesn't target which part of Rafa's body she should hit. Alita makes Rafa's body like a samsak that she uses to channel her anger. Rafa does not shy away, nor does he try to stop Alita.
He let Alita vent her emotions. Perhaps by crying, cursing and beating him, Alita's anger at him will soon be muffled. Although Rafa is also not so sure, if after this he will get a pardon from Alita. Even now the fate of his relationship with Alita is on the edge, because Alitalah will decide later.
