As Hanna had promised earlier, this afternoon she and Rafa met up with Alita again for lunch together. Of course Rafa is very excited to meet Alita again, he even asked Hanna to get ready early.
And this is where the three of them are now, in a restaurant not far from their hotel serving Scottish and other European food. Hanna and Alita seem cool at telling stories while enjoying their lunch, while Rafa is more silent. Not only to enjoy his lunch, but also the existence of Alita in front of his eyes.
"Then bring Rafa here, later I will take you for a walk around Glasgow."
"Kalo Kak Rafa doesn't need it, brother. You see, he has been for months muter-muter Glasgow, to memorize the turn right or left here how many."
Rafa only smiled stiffly and then lowered his head. He felt ashamed of Alita because for several months he was like a carefree person who was willing to go back and forth Bristol-Glasgow to look for her.
"Yaudah, you're the one who came here by yourself. We will go for a walk together." replied Alita casually.
"Eh, I can't do that. I also have to come, where can Hanna get here alone? What if ntar or stray?"
"Not much time, brother." Hanna chimed in on Rafa's words lazily. "I can read, can communicate with people here too. There won't be that said the person's name."
"Udaaaahhhh. new semalem I talk to Rafa if you guys get along like brother sister, eh now even fight again."
"Sir Alita knows for herself who likes to provoke a debate?"
Alita simply nodded her head while laughing in response to Hanna's question. "So, after lunch you're going straight back to Bristol?"
Rafa nodded. "Hanna's college schedule tomorrow morning is quite solid, kasian if the kemaleman gets home."
"Okay, maybe we can see you next time. And... Where's your map, Han?"
Hanna immediately thrust her phone to Alita. There, Alita types her new phone number.
"You asked Rafa to fight first, so I've just finished my new number here. Well.. later we can continue chatting via chat."
"Okeeeeeee...." Hanna immediately pressed the number that Alita had just kept on her phone. "That's my number, brother. Not changed yet, but surely Alita does not memorize my number right? So, don't forget to keep my number? Let me know if I chat or call later not be messed up."
"Hahahhaha.it...."
As always, Rafa has always loved the interaction between Hanna and Alita. The two are always cool themselves when chatting together, even forgetting their existence.
Especially after the storm that hit his relationship with Alita, and also the disappearance of Alita in recent months, now Rafa prefers to observe Alita in silence. Keep every smile and cheerful face of Alita in memory. Before they finally had to be separated by distance.
After they left the restaurant, the car Rafa and Hanna drove into a building. Not the apartment building where Alita lives, but the building where Alita paints every Sunday.
Actually, Rafa was annoyed that Alita still did not want to say where she lived. But Rafa thought, Alita must have needed time to return to accept his presence. Especially with this impromptu meeting.
But other than that, it turns out that there is one more thing that makes Rafa sigh many times since at the restaurant. Something that inexplicably disturbed his mind, and made him feel dislike.
"Don...." Rafa finally made a sound after an hour ago when their car left Glasgow.
"Hm?" Hanna who had been busy exchanging messages with Eleanor immediately turned her eyes away from her phone.
"Where's your ring?"
"Oh...." Hanna looked at her now-polossed ring finger without a ring around.
"I took a shower earlier." Hanna answered him casually, even now her hand reached into her inner bag pocket to take her ring.
"Why removed?" Rafa was still speaking with a pretty slender tone. Especially when Hanna chose to put the ring back in the bag instead of wearing it back.
"Emang kak Rafa said to brother Alita if our status is husband and wife? Don't you?"
Rafa's speechless. It's true what Hanna said, he even lied to Alita last night.
"Sir Rafa didn't wear a wedding ring in the first place, so it didn't matter. But Alita's brother will immediately wonder if I want to wear the ring."
"Continue... Why don't you wear it again?"
Hanna looked back at her ring finger, looking at the circular ring.
"I don't want to wear that ring anymore? If I wear that ring, a lot of people will know that I'm married. Keep ntar no guy who wants to deket same me, bother too later? Hehehe...."
Rafa almost hit the brakes, and probably will cause an accident because he was sitting behind his car. The Edinburg traffic was quite crowded this afternoon, and luckily Rafa was still able to control himself.
"But elo is in marriage, Han."
"Yes, emang. Besides Rafa also from the beginning did not want to wear a wedding ring also no one to question, why now I am considered if I do not want to wear it? Marriage is just status, brother. We're not in a real marriage, are we? So, I guess it's no problem that from now on I take off the wedding ring."
