Hope Like an Angel

My Friends

Return to Leonardo's Reservation.

Hearing all that, I was really sad, staring at his head that was lowered telling me everything...

Raphael no longer resisted, now he understood what Judah was going through.

Jennifer anxiously closed her mouth, her eyes teary.

Leo also saw it sharp, although his eyes were ordinary, I knew it was a look of affection from him...

"So, I don't have the right to hurt him. Even if he insulted me many times, I couldn't hurt him. Because of my stupidity, Brother's right eye was broken, becoming useless..." She said that while slowly eating her opening meal, I knew she was holding back tears, but...

Really, I thought I had the most painful past. Turns out Yuda...

"First, Yuda, you're not weak. You're one of the strongest people I've ever met. And don't worry, one day we'll definitely find a way to reconcile you." Jennifer smiled patting her shoulder, they sat next to her.

Yuda just smiled, looking very resigned. I have to try my best to make them better again...

Fifteen minutes, the main course has been served. I ordered a beef steak, put on a plate with mushroom sauce sprinkled, then there was a smooth potato next to it, yes I prefer the softened potatoes, more delicious. Very big, and definitely filling!

While Raphael, in front of him was a flour chicken with butter sauce, red in color, looking satisfying...

Jennifer and Yuda, gosh, they ordered the same thing, when it was not intentional, suddenly raised their hands and said the same thing together, very adorable. They were about to eat a chutney sandwich with the scent of onions, his face turned happier and happier than before.

And lastly, Leonardo, lasagna parmesan and sprinkled peas. I never ate it, but seeing Leo, he enjoyed it...

"Ohuk!" Raphael chokes.

"Slowly..." I reminded.

"Yes! Daritadi's slow, but the sprains keep going!"

"Hahahaha, it's because of the noodles lidi!"

"Sokay know!"

"Eleh, your cough just now was definitely not an ordinary cough. Well, your body's starting to go berserk."

"Uhuk! Ouch... Yuda believe me dong!" Raphael wiped his mouth with his plain white napkin, Leo smiled. Yuda laughed at her, his pale face finally disappearing...

The main dish has run out, it's closing time. Everyone agreed to drink cold chocolate with cream, and a few small chocolate bars sprinkled on top. It feels good, it's really nice to be able to eat at a fancy restaurant. And don't forget, everything is paid by Leo, it's free!

We were full, sitting in a chair, relaxing and fully resting our backs.

"Brand. It's full." Raphael stroked his stomach while putting on a satisfied face. I chuckled at him, but seriously, this was the best night of my life!

"What a son, Leo! Your restaurant is great!" Jennifer is very cheerful.

"Heh, this restaurant ranked as the third most crowded in all of Yuvia, before the evacuation of course. After that, only the troops ate here, making parties and such, definitely only during the day. But after the Day of the Massacre, I can open this place anytime." He chuckled arrogantly, raising one of his eyebrows.

"Thank you, Commander. Really, it makes my day better." Yuda's smile grew wider, just looking at it made me happy.

"Either. You can eat together also because of Falisha."

"Yes, thank you, Fal..."

"Together, Judah..." I grinned, nodding happily. Thank goodness my friends were able to enjoy the night after years of relentless struggle...

"Congratulations to all of you. Your contribution really reflects that of a fighter, I have never regretted even once for educating everyone using the sword." Leo is facing everyone. We slowly nodded, I hugged Leo quickly. "Thank you for everything..."

"Hehehe, yes together, Fal..." He returned my arms, patting my back.

"Thank you, Leo, you're the coolest person in the world." Raphael.

"Oh, that's for sure." Reply with a slanted smile.

I took off his arms, sat back down.

Phew.. I'm full.great Leo!

...***...

We're all gathered outside, it's ten o'clock in the night. Some of the troops were still in the restaurant, enjoying their night.

"All right, should I take you home?" Leo asked.

"No need, we're not children." Raphael who is stylish because it is not so push up answered.

"Hmph, look out for ghosts. You will escape later. Imagine a tall black shadow, long hair, then strangle you to the point of not being able to breathe."

"Jeez, Raf! Are you afraid of ghosts?! At this age?!" I looked down at her face beside me, she was scared!

"Eh, uh! Nah! Not afraid!" His face was red, hahahaha...

"Sorry, guys, Commander, I'm ahead." Yuda says.

"on your own? You sure?" Leo asked again.

"Yes, I'm sure. Thank you." Thank you." Yuda smiled widely, rushing his way.

"Be careful, Yuda!" Jennifer waved her hand.

"Yes!" The reply, slowly his body disappeared, walking on the main street.

"Then I go first too. Drug Leo, Fal, Raf. Thanks..." Jennifer said, starting to walk cheerfully, for a long time she was also not seen again, walking towards her house...

"Leo, where are you going?"

"I went back to my office, cleaned up some messy files on the desk earlier."

"Night-night? Headquarters are in the form of a hallway, spooky you know..." Raphael weighed his voice

"Hmph, Arkane is scarier than a ghost, to be honest." Leo started walking away. "You two be careful."

"Yes." Yeah." I replied subtly, staring at Leo's back which was starting to go out of sight, he was gone...

Me and Raphael stood together, the faint sound of music from within the restaurant still being heard.

"Fal, let's go home."

"Eh? Yeah..." Eventually, we both started to leave. It just so happens that Raphael's house is on the same street as mine, so we can both go home.

The sound of crickets filled the ears, there was no more sound besides that, silent.

It was getting cold, luckily I was wearing a jacket, so it wasn't very offensive. Raphael too, with his fine black sweatshirt he was not cold.

...

Should I ask him? The question that's been running through my head all this time? About the reason why Raphael wanted to be friends with me?

Maybe because he's a good guy, but that's overkill, there's a lot of good people in school, not just me. But more attention was given to me than anything else.should I ask...?

"Raf..."

"Hm?" Still stepping, our heads facing each other.

"Eh, Fal, it's your house!" Eh? I stared at the direction Raphael pointed at, sure enough, it was my home. Oh my God, I didn't realize, so fast!

All right, maybe tomorrow-tomorrow, now I'm sleepy, more sleepy.

"Okay, it looks like it's a farewell. Thank you for taking me to dinner." Raphael said, I nodded back.

We were standing by the door, trying to open it with the keys to the house...

Crews!

Crews!

Whahuh? The key won't come in?

"Why Fal?"

"The key won't come in! Why ya?"

"Calm down, don't panic. Try it again"

Shhhh...

!

What is that sound?

Raphael and I looked in the same direction, a few meters in front of my door, a tall black figure appeared standing. Wear black clothes that cover everything but the head.

He's wearing a fedora hat...
