Back To You's

Chapter 63

If Alita used to avoid Rafa, now it's Rafa's turn to avoid Alita. As he was seeking revenge for Alita, the man was reluctant to meet or reply to messages and pick up a phone call from Alita.

Rafa just wants to calm down, so he can think clearly and not rely on his emotions. Although it is difficult for him to stay focused on his script affairs, Rafa has chosen to put Alita aside first.

The reason, none other than that is because of his papa. Rafa doesn't want her papa back in anger at her for failing to finish college on time due to boyfriend affairs.

Actually, Alita really wanted to send a message to Mama Salma to ask Rafa's situation. Alita could have pretended to come to the house with her family's hands in order to get into the house and meet Rafa. But Alita doesn't want to. From the beginning Alita did not want to involve the family in their problem-solving business.

Maybe this time he has to give time to Rafa. Just like when Rafa used to give him time without even meeting him once.

But Alita did not expect that Rafa would take this long to avoid it. The man took even longer than him, Rafa completely avoided him. Rafa even ignored all the messages from him, even though his status was often online.

Alita has no other choice. It's been a week since their altercation in the hotel basement parking lot. While Alita is completely free, she decides to go to Rafa's house.

This time, Alita chose to take a taxi because Mr. Maman was taking her mother to visit her brother. Actually he was afraid that Rafa's family would find out if they were both having problems, but eventually Alita did not care. He just wants their problems to be solved.

"Wait a minute, no. I call Rafa mas first." said bi Yati while inviting Alita to sit down.

The house looks empty. Alita slightly sighed in relief because maybe Mama Salma was not at home. Long enough Alita waited, until finally Rafa appeared with a typical face waking up.

"sorry. I... disturb you, huh?" alita said carefully. He was just afraid that Rafa would get angry with him, because Rafa was among the people who did not like if his sleep time was contested.

"We're talking outside, Mom must be back home." Rafa just steps out, and then is followed by Alita who has no idea where Rafa will take him.

......................

Stopping her car at the edge of an artificial lake, Rafa does not plan to take Alita down. He just lowered his car window. In addition to the hot weather, Rafa also does not want to attract the attention of people who are there.

"We're talking here" said Rafa, turning to Alita. He did not even know how to start their conversation this time, because Rafa was afraid to face the reality that would happen.

"You... busy dealing with the thesis?"

"Yes. A few days ago I went back and forth to the hospital."

"Hospital? Who's sick?"

"Dad Hanna. I volunteered for the anther or picked Hanna up if Wildan was lost."

Alita just nodded her head. He already knew how close Rafa and Hanna were to him even before Rafa knew him.

"I'm sorry for what happened a week ago. I know I fucked you, but I didn't mean to take revenge on you, Fa."

"So you're the same Theo as close as what?"

"And you feel comfortable with him?"

Rafa did not look at Alita. Rafa tries to avoid looking at Alita. Because he didn't want his feelings to get hurt.

"I feel a lot of similarities between me and Theo. The same feeling I felt the same way you used to."

"Yeah first?" Rafa smiled cynically, as if laughing at him now who might not be able to make Alita feel comfortable again near him.

"I mean-"

Not even Alita had time to utter her sentence, Rafa had already interrupted her first.

"As you said a few months ago, our relationship is not going to go easy. We both try to make everything okay, but we still can't. My mistake was not only to hurt you, but to destroy our relationship. I messed up everything."

"Rapid...."

Rafa again interrupted Alita by grabbing the girl's hand and grasping her tightly. Although it was hard for him, but Rafa finally said it.

"I will not make you any more to endure if you are not happy, Lit. You deserve to be happy, and maybe now your happiness isn't the same as mine anymore."

Rafa kissed the back of Alita's hand, then raised his head. "We can be best friends after this?"

Both Rafa and Alita, both of them had never thought they would be at this stage. Rafa's mistake some time ago did make things different. Struggles as hard as anything can't even strengthen them back.

"Are you sure of your decision? Don't you want to ask me what I think?"

"Come, Lit. You'd be more hurt if you were still tied to me." Rafa wiped Alita's tears. "Please promise me you'll be happier after this, okay?"

"Fa...."

"I've never been cut off by a girl, Lit. So you don't ruin the record I've made all this time." joked Rafa.

Although cheeked with a smile on their lips, but actually the condition of their hearts is not so. Farewell this time is not easy for Rafa. If in the past he was looking forward to parting with his lover, but everything was different since he knew Alita.

Although the separation is a reality that is not easy to take for granted, but it is indeed the consequence of every encounter.

Alita just slammed into Rafa's arms, then cried. Rafa also hugs Alita tightly, as this may be the last time he can hug her Alita.

"Promise with me, Lit. If you're not happy with Theo or whoever it is, you have to go back to me. I will wait for you, because until now, you are the only person I want to save my life." said Rafa softly on the sidelines of their arms.
