Blizt 'N Demon

Chapter 71 - Truth

Rafa and Kevin sat under a tree while chatting in a relaxed atmosphere. After making up, the atmosphere became more palatable, both for Kevin and Rafa.

"I've wanted to ask you this since. Your cheek.. You why?" ask Kevin doubtfully. He's a little worried. If you see this friend injured, a flash of memory during the attack remembered by him. He was worried that Rafa would meet that person again.

"Ah, this..?" Rafa closed the wound on the cheek with his hand. He smiled awkwardly, "I dropped my phone accidentally. Then, when I was about to pick it up, I was instead hit by the end of the dining table until a wound like this. You know for yourself that the corner of my dining table is made of glass and is quite sharp. Then when accidentally scratched, it can make a wound."

Kevin nodded. He had previously been anxious if Rafa was attacked. It turns out he was just too worried.

But Kevin does not know, if Rafa is indeed attacked, even if not by the same person. If he knew, what would he think his reaction would be? She may have felt traumatized by one of her arms breaking at that time. If Rafa tells the truth, Kevin could be a club.

"Ep.. Rafa?"

Rafa turned his head when he heard the call from Kevin. He raised his eyebrows when he saw Kevin's hesitant expression, "What's wrong?"

Kevin scratched his non-itchy cheeks and spoke without looking at Rafa, "I just want to know, where did your father actually go? You only ever tell me if your father's gone and don't tell me why or where he's going."

Rafa frowned, "Why did you suddenly ask that? You're not usually curious about someone's past."

Kevin jerks. He immediately looked at Rafa, "You're not 'someone', but you're 'my best friend'. Anyway, I just want to know more about my best friend's life. Can't it? Or does it bother you?"

Rafa looked ahead, "...Not particularly. I'm just a little surprised you asked that. I only told you about my parents once and you never asked me anything about it. And now you've come asking. Yep.. Of course I wonder what makes you ask me like this. But if you want to hear my story, I can say it."

Kevin just nodded and watched Rafa closely. He'll tell you what he heard last night from Nevan and his father, depending on Rafa's story.

"You know, my mother died after giving birth to me. Then dad, he left me when I was 10. My father left me with Uncle Melvin and I ended up living with my uncle. Then after graduating Junior High, I asked that I be able to live alone in the house where I had previously grown up. I don't know if the house was sold and someone else lived in it. But, uncle bought it for me. In the end I stayed back here.

It's just that, about why you went or where he went, I don't know. He said nothing to me and asked me to take care of myself. Then dad also told me not to worry, because there's uncle Melvin.

He said he would come back and pick me up. But even now, he never came. He didn't show his face to me. I was thinking maybe he forgot me, or he was fighting for something somewhere else.

Until now, I am still waiting for my father even with uncertainty. I'm worried about him, I want to see you. I miss him too. But I can only wait, haish.. If he comes, I'll hit him in the face and protest."

Kevin blinked when he heard Rafa's last words, "You serious?"

"Yes, can't you? I was too upset because he never came to see me. He also left me without giving an explanation," Rafa replied with a brief snort.

Kevin nodded his head, "Maybe.. There's no harm" he thought about Rafa's words. He said it sounded brave. If only he could look like him and hit his father in the face while pitting a debate with the man.

"Actually.. Last night I went to your house. I want to stay the night."

Rafa now begins to notice Kevin's words, though his gaze is focused on the tree above him, "Mn.. But I didn't see you."

"When I came, you weren't home. The door of the house was slightly open. I quietly went inside and found only Need, your brother and his father."

"I stole their talk. From what I heard, they know how to go to the demon world. But they didn't want to tell you because your father was there, you will also definitely go there. They say there's a lot of demons."

Rafa's mouth opened slightly when he heard Kevin's words. His eyes immediately looked at Kevin quickly, "His way? How do I go there? They say what?"

Kevin shook his head, "They didn't say anything about how. They are just debating whether to tell you how or not. Your brother wants to say it, and his father doesn't want you to."

"Then, I'll ask them right away after coming home," Rafa muttered softly, "Why is uncle always hiding something from me? Does he still hate me?"

Trriyingggg

The doorbell rang, indicating that the break was over. Rafa immediately stood up to return to the classroom. Kevin stood up too. But he hasn't stepped away. He opened his voice, "What is a demon? You've never told me anything about it."

Rafa stopped. Without glancing back, he replied, "That's not something important. Anyway, I just found out."

"This is just my guess. But if the name 'devil' is like a story that is described as having an evil and powerful nature, I think... Is the devil the one who attacked us?

From what I heard last night, the demon world is a lair of demons. You're.. Could die if it were there."

The words from Kevin made Rafa speechless for a moment. He turned back and looked at his friend who lowered his head, "Sorry I can't answer him. You'll be dragged further if you find out. All I can give you is what makes your hand come back intact. You always ask me, but I never answer. Maybe this is the right time to say it."

Kevin was stunned and raised his head. He gave a serious expression as he looked at Rafa. The young man was equally serious. He also fell silent to hear the answer.

"The one who did it was Leon. Dia–"

Kevin immediately gasped and accidentally interrupted, "Wait, what do you mean?

"Before he left, at night, he came to the hospital where you were being treated. He healed me, then healed your hand. All my wounds are gone. My broken hand was healed. I woke up then and witnessed for myself how your hands grew back. You feel it too. When you wake up, all your body no longer hurts. The wound closed. Don't you?"

Kevin stared in disbelief when he heard Rafa's story, "W-how could that be possible? He's just a kid. Then you're saying he's growing hands and treating all my wounds? Ha.. Haha.. Were you still in the dream at the time?"

He clearly doesn't believe. After all, Leon was just a child. In addition, he said something evil when the boy came to see him. There was no way Leon would treat him if he said that evil speech.

Rafa is still expressing seriously. There is no joke in every word. He just silently looked at the look of disbelief from Kevin until finally his friend stopped smiling and turned his gaze into shock.

"So.. Is that really true?"

Rafa nodded, "The evidence is our current state. In an instant all our wounds disappeared and your hands that should have been gone were now back. I am serious and not dreaming. It would be hard to believe. Even I who witnessed it myself still couldn't believe it. But it really happened. Trust me."

Kevin was still silent as he looked at Rafa's face. His friend is serious. He turned his gaze towards the tree and muttered softly, "So it's not a lie.."

Rafa frowned, "You mean?"
