Back To You's

Chapter 96's

Hanna took her breath back. Gathering with his friends made him forget that he was feeling sad because he had to stay away from his family during his birthday.

Hanna does ask Rafa for permission to go with her friends, but Hanna does not say where they are going. Because according to Hanna, Rafa also would definitely not care about what he did.

"You're going straight home, Hanna?" eleanor asked as she approached Hanna who was putting gifts from her friends into a paper bag.

"Yes, it's too late, right? You will also have difficulty returning to the dorm if you go home at midnight.

"Yes, you're right. Then let's go home together. Arthur offers us a ride, quite right jafi we don't need to go out of fare to take a taxi hehehehe...."

Hanna agreed with Eleanor. In addition to saving costs, Hanna also never came home this late. So if he comes home with Arthur and El, it'll be safer.

After driving Eleanor back to the dorm, Arthur drove Hanna home. Arthur is the second person to know where Hanna lives, because Hanna has always met her friends outside.

Slender. That was the atmosphere that greeted Hanna as she had returned home. It was eleven o'clock over and there was no sign of Rafa being at home. Not to mention the rain that came back when they came home last night, making Hanna assume that Rafa would not return home that night.

After getting inside her room, Hanna rushed over to clean herself up. Maybe opening a gift from his friends will be entertainment for him on his birthday. Not to mention that he and his friends had agreed to create a group for their unimportant conversation.

But somehow Hanna still expects Rafa back that night. Glancing at the wall clock that will soon be exactly twelve, Hanna still hopes that Rafa will return and be the last person to wish her a happy birthday.

"Udahlah, Han. It's also free you get her, you're destined to be here." muttered Hanna as she went up to her bed.

...****************...

Rafa actually came home that night, crashing with rain all the way from Glaesgow to Bristol. There was no gift he brought for Hanna, he just wanted to meet Hanna first to apologize and wish her a happy birthday. For the gift, Rafa will ask Hanna what she wants later.

Rafa did not dare to step on the accelerator too deep, the slippery road made him drive his car at a below average speed. It's his first winter, and Rafa doesn't know what the streets will be.

The atmosphere of Little Paul St was very quiet. The time almost showed at one in the morning, when Rafa had just finished parking his car. The rain had stopped a moment ago, and Rafa hurriedly ran to get inside the house. The jacket he was wearing today was not very thick, so it made him slightly cold as he tried to open the door of the house that had been locked.

Hanna must have fallen asleep. As far as Rafa is concerned, the girl never stays up as long as they stay together. Hanna is the type of student who does assignments in the morning rather than having to stay up until midnight.

But Rafa's guess is wrong, Hanna seems to be still awake. Is Hanna waiting for him to come home to ask her for a gift?

"Huhn?" Rafa ventured to knock on Hanna's bedroom door.

Hanna was not asleep, I sneered Rafa heard Hanna's voice laughing because of what. And soon Hanna's bedroom door opened.

"Elo.. haven't slept?" Rafa.

"Just want to sleep."

"But I'm horrified.elo is like laughing that way."

Hanna's short and slightly ketus answer made Rafa become awkward. Hanna must be mad at him because he forgot his birthday.

"Sorry, I forgot today's birthday. I've tried to rush back, but the road is slippery and big test, Han. So.. I just had to buy a cake fitting in Glasgow earlier."

Rafa lifted a paper bag from a cake shop that he went to this evening. But Hanna's response was only ordinary, there was no happy face as she expected.

"Put the fridge, brother. Good for breakfast or snacking tomorrow morning."

"Elo... don't want to blow out that candle?"

"Udah was the same. This part is also at one hour, already past the date. So it's funny if I blow out a candle now when my birthday was yesterday."

"But it's only been an hour, Han." Rafa still insists on seducing Hanna to want to go out of the room and enjoy the birthday cake that she bought earlier.

"No need to ah, brother. I was tired, going to sleep. Rafa wants to blow up his own candle."

Shortly before Hanna managed to close the door of her room, Rafa held the door and barged into Hanna's room. Which of course makes Hanna nag incoherently.

"Gue says you sit down first, I put the candle first. An hour late, Han. It's also because of the test of the series so much, if I don't also I will get home at ten o'clock as usual."

Rafa doesn't care about Hanna who was nagging next to him and forcing him to come out. While Rafa is still struggling to put candles on the birthday cake he bought.

"Well, make a wish you used to blow out the candles." Rafa throws a birthday cake with some candles burning on it towards Hanna.

"Oh, I know you're mad at me. But do not refuse the cake, the cake is not wrong with elo."

Hanna sighed, and finally obeyed Rafa's will. The girl closed her eyes and prayed again for her age. And after that, blow out the lit candle on the cake.

"Pinter's son!" Rafa rubbed Hanna's hair as all the flames above the candle were blown away. "Happy birthday, my son. Sorry if I forget it too late. As a card, what do you want me to do."

Hanna was silent. The rubbing of Rafa's hand on his head earlier made him want to cry because usually his father did that, and it again made Hanna miss his family even more.

"From the last exam of the semester I want to take a walk to London, and after the winter break, Rafa must make sure I snow."

"That's easy! I thought you'd ask for an expensive gift." Rafa chuckled as he pulled out the candles from the cake, and tidied up the cardboard and paper bag of the cake that was on Hanna's study table.

"But it's just the two of us." Hanna said as Rafa had stepped out of her room.

Rafa immediately stopped his steps, and turned his body to look at Hanna who was still standing in front of his study table.

"So Rafa can't take anyone, not even Alita's sister."
