Back To You's

Chapter 72's

Patience.

Maybe that's the word that Rafa should hold tight. Approaching Alita now is not as easy as approaching Alita before. In addition to the two now busy working, Rafa must also be willing to share Alitanya with Theo.

The one who approaches Alita is not just herself, and Rafa knows that Theo's position is more favorable than hers. Alita who works under his auspices makes Theo have a lot of time with Alita. Unlike her who has to adjust her free time Alita.

Now it's been almost a year Rafa is trying to get back Alita. You could say his efforts still have not paid off because Alita still seems to limit herself, both to Rafa and with Theo.

But of course Rafa doesn't just give up. Rafa is even ready to do anything to get Alita back. Even if you have to duel with Theo though.

"A long wait, huh? I used to sneeze the monthly report" Rafa told Hanna who had just boarded her car.

In addition to surviving to fight for Alita, Rafa is also still loyal to take Hanna. For some reason Rafa finds it hard to let Hanna go home alone when her grandmother's house to school is only about five kilometers away.

Maybe because Hanna still insists on keeping the past events from her family, that's why Rafa still feels that there will be people who disturb Hanna.

"Nothing. Is Rafa going or coming home?"

Today Hanna came home in the afternoon because there was a group assignment to do, and it happened to be the same time as Rafa's commute.

"home. You go back to grandma's house or Taufik's house?"

"You're coming home to Rafa's house."

"Gue doesn't have a home of his own yet, Hanna." Rafa pinched Hanna's cheek with anxiety.

"Ahh whatever. Anyway I want to come with Rafa's sister home, I want to see Abby. Kangen nyiumin cheeks puffed."

"Abby mulu, replace me dong!" tease Rafa by leaning her body towards Hanna.

"Ohh, ogah!" Hanna pushes Rafa's body away. "Later, my father will go home. So I'll go back with them."

"Back with me was nothing. At seven o'clock I go with Alita."

Hanna shook her head. "No way, I want to be with your mom's dad."

"Much to my surprise, everything is called Abby Mulu. There is nothing that I am. Mama's also now the same attention is Abby."

"Hahahaha.. sis Rafa is strange, the jealousy of the baby? It's only natural, brother, that everything is Abby. Yes, the times people will 'uh, Rafa can what now?' That makes no sense, there is also Rafa asked when to marry."

"The bigger the bigger lo, Han!" Rafa again pinched Hanna's cheek, making the girl complain of pain.

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

That night, Rafa goes out to dinner with Alita. Although actually tired, but Rafa still agreed to leave. Because for him, Alita would rarely take him away first.

Rafa headed straight to the restaurant that Alita had chosen. Rafa never again picks up or takes Alita home because Alita now prefers to drive her own car.

Re-checking his appearance on the windshield, Rafa's smile back on his back because he will soon meet with Alita. I don't know what reason made Alita take him out tonight, which is obviously very happy.

"Hi, has it been since?" greet Rafa while pulling a chair in front of Alita.

"No, I just got it." Alita holds out the menu book to Rafa. "We better immediately pesen eat only, usually these hours will be very rame."

Rafa agreed to Alita's suggestion. After flipping through the menu book and determining the food of his choice, Rafa called the restaurant waiter to order.

"At this free day?" rafa asked after the two of them finished ordering the food.

"Hm..not really. I just got back from the location." Alita seems to be weighing up to talk to Rafa about something. The look on his agitated face was clearly captured by Rafa.

Alita shook her head. "No. But. There's something I want to talk about with you."

"T-about...what?" Rafa was starting to feel uneasy. I don't know why he thought something was going to happen that he didn't want.

"Later, we're done eating." Alita put on her sweet smile. "I'm a really laper, so I want us to both enjoy our dinner first."

Rafa. "Where can you enjoy a meal if you play secrets like gini, Lit?"

"Hahahaha. Anyway, the food must have run out because here the cuisine is famous for delicious."

Rafa simply nodded obediently to Alita. Although actually dag-dig-dug, but Rafa can not do anything. Waiting until their food is served and spent won't be long. Moreover, he and Alita are not the type of people who eat for a long time.

And sure enough, after the food was served, Rafa and Alita were directly focused on their food. The two of them barely even engaged in conversation, because they were so focused on the food in front of them.

"I'm done. Can you talk about it now?" said Rafa while wiping his lips with a feeding cloth.

"Are you sure you want me to tell you right now?" Alita asked after enjoying her drink.

Rafa nodded. "Faster know better, right? Like I'm full, so I can stand up to whatever you're going to talk to me about."

Alita chuckles when she hears Rafa's answer. "Actually, I just want to say that I've never worked with Theo again."

Like getting a fresh breeze, Rafa returned with a big smile. "Why? You guys fighting?"

"Hahahaha. But because of something else. I told Theo the reason, so I have to tell you too."

"What about?"

"The project tomorrow morning is the last event I'm handling, because the day after tomorrow, I'm moving to Glasgow with Ali's family."

I don't know where the fresh wind went. Now Rafa just feels so crowded being there. "You're kidding me, aren't you, Lit?"

"No, I'm really going to move there. Maybe it's not bad to start a new life there."

Alita was still observing Rafa's silent reaction. Just as Theo can't simply accept the reason, Alita is convinced Rafa will also try to keep him from leaving. But it turns out the assumption was wrong.

"OKAY. I don't mind you moving to Glasgow, we can LDR."

Alita shook her head with a faint smile on her lips. "That won't be easy, Fa. The distance from Glasgow to Indonesia is not a close distance. You-"

"I can go there once a month, Lit. I promise I'll try to meet you every month." Rafa interrupted quickly.

"That's gonna drain your money, Fa. You have to save for your future, and you have to be happy even if it's not me."

"No, Lit. I can't."

Alita's right hand stretched out to rub the back of Rafa's hand. "You can't, Fa. You just don't want to try to forget me. We can still be friends, Fa. I'm sure we could be good, reliable friends with each other."

Rafa shook his head and lowered his head. "It's not that easy, Lit. You tortured me for being his name when in the end we were just friends."

With a sweet smile, Alita ended her meeting with Rafa that night. Alita got up from her chair and stood right next to Rafa.

"I just want to tell you that, Fa. Please don't go after me or you're forbidding me to go." Alita pecks Rafa's cheeks at a glance. "This time I'll buy you."

Alita's words are like magic to Rafa. The man was still silent in his chair while lamenting his fate that was left behind by Alita. Somehow his life will run, but to rise like now Rafa has been hard-earned. And now he has to fall for the second time.
