Back To You's

Chapter 76's

"The very loneliness." Rafa muttered as he entered his house that looked quiet and no one answered his greetings. My mom and dad are at home.

Rafa snorted in annoyance as he climbed the stairs. He even had strange thoughts about his papa mama who may have been 'null' when it was still this afternoon.

Now that Rayyan and Eowyn have moved to their respective homes, the mother of his father is becoming more and more intense just making out at home.

But then his ears caught the conversation from his mother and father who came from the family room. The chat sounded quite serious, so Rafa finally decided to eavesdrop first.

"Why doesn't Taufik agree that Hanna went to college there? He came in because of the scholarship program, right? Taufik should not have to worry about his tuition fees. We'll help them with their costs, Kasian Hanna. He worked hard to get the scholarship" said Papa Adit.

"It's not because of that, Mom. When it comes to money, Taufik can. Mas Adit knows himself now bimbel him branch already a lot."

"Continue?"

"Taufik just doesn't want Hanna there alone. Hanna's childhood was still traumatized by Taufik, Widya said that's why Taufik asked Hanna not to accept the scholarship."

"Sadly, too much." Right after Papa Adit finished sneering at Hanna's father, Rafa finally appeared in front of the wide-open door of his papa's study.

"You're home yet? Tumben's coming home at this hour."

"Mama is weird. Home evening ditumbenin, home malem scolded." Rafa grumbled as he walked to the sofa in front of where his mom and dad were sitting.

"You're not weird, you're weird." Papa Adit voiced, feeling not accepted if his beloved wife was said 'strange' by her youngest child. While Rafa rolled his eyes lazily, this papa always hit the war drums on him.

"You've seen Hanna? Aunt Widya said you took Hanna outside."

Rafa nodded his head. "Yes, just go to the cafe there. Hanna said she was dizzy again, so Rafa made sure she went out to eat."

"Hanna tell you?" mama Salma asked again.

"S-What's the matter, Ma?"

Rafa is not entirely lying, Hanna did not tell him in detail about the problem he was experiencing. But Rafa heard everything from the conversation of his mom and dad.

"On the scholarship."

Rafa shook his head, hoping that his mother would tell him the whole story of Hanna. And his wish came true, his mother told him everything.

The problem that made Hanna almost cry at the cafe earlier. The problem that made Hanna unable to tell him all earlier. A problem that inexplicably keeps Rafa awake all night, to think of a way to save Hanna from the ridiculous requirements put forward by Hanna's father.

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

"It's a long time!" Rafa nagged when Hanna had just come. The man had been sitting there for almost half an hour and Hanna had just arrived. Though from Hanna's house to the cafe is only a few meters.

"You told me I'm running out again."

Rafa looked at Hanna who looked disheveled that afternoon. Not only does it look not as happy as usual, Hanna's eyes also look swollen. Maybe the girl cried all night for failing to realize her dream of studying abroad.

"Gue heard the story from my mom. Everyone, the full version."

Rafa's words just now made Hanna finally look up and look at Rafa. "What's the story?" hanna asked softly.

"The story of the elo problem, Han. About why bokap lo do not agree lo lecture there and about. requirements that bokap lo ajuin if you want to go to college there."

"Yes that is, brother. I don't want to talk about that anymore." Drowning Hanna leaned her head against the table.

"Keep that up, Han? You don't want to fight for your ideals for college and work there?"

"You fighting what model again, brother? Rafa knows for himself if I want to go to college there terms of what father."

Rafa was silent for a moment. After gathering his courage, he finally expressed the decision he had taken.

"Well, it's me, Han. By so you can go to England to realize your ideals."

Hanna straightened up her seat, staring at Rafa with a look of disbelief. Hanna has been close to Rafa since she was in the eighth grade, Rafa is also the one she has always relied on for all the problems she has faced so far. But he did not expect that Rafa would sacrifice himself for his troubles this time.

"You joke there are limits too, brother." Hanna tries to take the wind then the offer Rafa gave her earlier, but seems serious about her decision.

"Gue couldn't possibly make you my younger brother, Han. Om Taufik will not easily release you so just to me to take care of elo. The only way is marriage, Han. I'll go to college there, too, or. I can find a job there."

"Crazy!" Hanna muttered as she continued to shake her head.

He really did not expect to be placed in this kind of situation. The problem of his father's refusal alone has made him dizzy, even now coupled with Rafa's invitation to get married so that he can study in England.

"It's a good offer for you, Han. You know me since I was a kid, you know exactly how I am. Instead of accepting the terms of arranged marriage from bokap lo, you are not afraid of marriage to someone you have never known at all?"

Hanna massaged the base of her nose, her head completely dizzy now. If you know Rafa invited him to meet to talk about this, it is better that he was at home and busied himself with studying sincerely not to study in England.

"Gue said I could help you, Han. This is the only way. I'll say papa's mama's coming home from here. Believe me if this is the best offer, I. I mind if you have to marry a chosen person om Taufik."
