Pears

Chapter 20 (1)

A middle-aged woman walked into Rafa's room. He closed the door slowly and walked towards the man.

"Rafa, what are you drawing again?" tanyakanya.

The person asked immediately looked over and smiled at the woman. "Rafa again pictures the house! Later Rafa wants to have a house like this in the future." Rafa unfurled the paper he was wearing, the picture was ready, just shaded away to make it more alive.

The woman nodded. Then Rafa lowered back his image and continued the work.

Mira, she stroked the top of Rafa's hair while looking down to see the results of the picture again. It is a beautiful house, not like a normal building. It's asymmetrical in shape, but that's what makes it unique. For a 5th grade SD child like Rafa, according to Mira the picture is already extraordinary, even Rafa could have defeated his father's skills. Mira believes that one day Rafa can be his father's replacement in taking care of his architectural company.

A moment of silence was then filled by the sound of friction between the pencil and the paper. The boy seriously finished it.

"Mother ...," called Rafa suddenly, but his eyes were still focused on the image.

"What, Honey?"

Rafa stopped shading, he looked up at Mira's face.

"When do we move to Bandung again?" the question that makes Mira confused.

The woman also did not know when she would return to her son's birthplace. "One day yes, Rafa."

"Rafa misses Bandung, Mother."

Mira laughed at her son's words. "Who do you miss in Bandung?"

But instead of answering, the boy laughed.

Vallen ruffled his waist as he entered the room. He was clucking because Rafa was asleep in his bed. Even though Vallen had prepared a nagging material for Rafa because it had made him shocked earlier.

"Fa, wake!" shouted Vallen.

"Rapha!" call him who still does not answer Rafa.

The girl also snorted in annoyance. His steps were directed toward the bed.

"Rapha!"

Vallen hissed, but his gaze was immediately drawn to a photo lying on the bed. He glanced at Rafa before taking it.

Vallen wondered why the photo was here, even though the place put the photo on the side of the wall furthest from the mattress. Ah base, seeing this photo even makes it flashback alone with his time with Devan. Vallen thinks it looks like this photo should be discarded, but honestly, too, it's a photo when he gets an award.

The girl then looked back at Rafa who was sleeping sideways. He could only see the back of his body, but even so Vallen still made a sound. "Why was the picture taken, Fa?"

Vallen then sat on the edge of the mattress and patted Rafa's shoulder gently. "Fa Ugly woke up ...," he said in a lower tone than before.

"Faaa, how do you feel?"

"Wake up!"

"Raaaaaaaaa."

"Fa Ugly ...."

Rafa changed his sleeping position to his back. Slowly his eyes opened and the only person he could see there was Vallen. Soon the man woke up from his sleep and hugged the girl.

"F-Fa Ugly why?" asked Vallen who was astonished by Rafa's treatment.

"Npw ...."

The guy just shook his head at the curve of his neck. Of course Vallen is confused. Even so, slowly but surely his hand moved to Rafa's back to return the hug.

"Rafa let's go home ...," asked Vallen because that's what he wanted to say since he set foot in this room.

"In a moment," replied Rafa who was still maintaining their position. He closed his eyes, trying to neutralize the state of his body after dreaming.

Vallen frowned worriedly, then the girl's palm patted her husband's back gently.

Vallen doesn't know Rafa why, which he knows ... Rafa needs.
