Rafa and Ara

Episode 153

...Happy Reading's....

They arrived at a large and luxurious dining table. D it has arranged several highly nutritious menus. A few servants appeared to be there too with their heads lowered.

Rafa pulled the chair for Ara.

"Sit down."

Ara immediately obeyed her brother-in-law's orders,

sat his ass and watched the food in front of him.

Black pepper salmon steak, rice, sweet sour gurame, bibimbap, chicken porridge, fullcream milk, fruit, and dessert.

Rafa took a seat nearby.

"Which one do you want to eat?" tanyanya looked at Ara.

Ara was surprised by the question.

"All this food is prepared for you, you have to finish it" Rafa said.

Ara gawked, back in surprise."For me? I don't want to eat. Just the brother who ate." said Ara slowly.

"You want to go back to college, right? Then you must follow my orders. You finish this meal." said Rafa firmly with emphasis.

Ara's body instantly weakened.

"Everything is a nutritious food that contains high protein. It's very quick to get your energy back and gain weight. Look at your body, you're so skinny. You have to eat a lot." said Rafa again watching his body from feet to head.

Ara gulped. How could I possibly eat this much food? Just having a glass of milk is very difficult. His tongue and neck were bitterly unaccepting.

"You should try to eat a lot and gain weight. I'll give you a week to gain weight. If within a week you don't gain weight, then you can't go to college and can't come to college forever" Rafa threatened.

Ara stammered."But kak__!"

"There is no objection. Let's get eaten quick." Rafa placed the milk in front of him, then poured the porridge into the bowl.

"You didn't even touch your breakfast. Half a glass of milk you don't spend."

Ara complained sadly.

"But I don't have an appetite."

"You have to force it to swallow." Rafa peeling oranges.

"Open your mouth, it's good for stimulating your saliva" Rafa said thrusting an orange in front of Ara's mouth.

Ara closed her mouth while shaking her head.

Rafa was wasting a rough breath while putting down the orange.

"As for you, I won't force you. The choice is yours." he said annoyed.

Ara sighed sadly. He stared at all the food, confused about where to start, because everything did not make him tasteful. But if he doesn't eat, then he can't continue college forever. He was a bit upset, this was a condition as well as a threat for him to be able to go to college again.

Slowly Ara grabbed the milk glass, then sipped it once while closing her eyes.

Raka's death has not only left half of her life dead, but also made her appetite disappear. Since her husband's death she hasn't touched any food at all. For two months after Raka's departure, she only drank water. The food between Sam's to the room, not touched. It makes his body thin, weak powerless. Moreover, he always fasted. Makes her weight drop drastically.

"Sister, I have no taste for food. I can't, really kak___!" said memelas.

Rafa was upset to hear the rejection.

"Vishnu, take your young lady to the main house. And fire the cook and the waiter who had prepared this meal." then rise up from his chair.

Ara nodded at his orders. So also with the chef and the one in charge of cooking. There was anxiety and fear on their faces hearing his master's words.

"Sister-in-law. Why are the servants fired? What was their mistake? What does this have to do with them?"

"They don't cook. The food they make doesn't arouse your taste! Vishnu, quickly get them out of this house." joked Rafa hard.

The 5-man chef and waiter immediately knelt down.

"Master, don't fire us, forgive us! We will work even better! Give us another chance." ask the servants, pleading.

Vishnu immediately moved closer to the servants.

"Don't you, don't fire us, give us one more chance" they began with paled faces at Vishnu's arrival.

Ara was still caught between her shock. Seeing them kneel and plead like this made him remember Sita who was fired because of him. The shadow of Sita's cry flashed across her eyes. Now the five servants suffered the same fate. And again because of her.

Ara looked at the 5 servants who were kneeling down with pleading gazes. He did not want their fate to be the same as Sita's.

"Stand up you guys, get out of here quickly." snapped Vishnu, while pulling the rough body of one of them.

Ara's daydreams instantly froze.

"Secretary Vishnu, what are you doing. Don't touch them, it's not their fault" Ara said as she drew Vishnu's hand. But his hand was too weak to hold strong, let alone pull Vishnu's arm. He's too weak and powerless.

"Sorry Miss, I am just following Mr. Rafa's orders" Vishnu said. Then dragged the bodies of two servants.

"Stop, please don't fire them!" pinta Ara half yelled.

But Vishnu did not heed his words.

Ara immediately ran after Rafa who had already walked away from the dining table. Free to ask Vishnu because the man only carries out Rafa's orders.

"Son, I beg you to stop Vishnu's secretary, Koki and the innocent servant." he asked to stand in the way of Rafa. Rafa road stopped.

"Don't fire them." Ara pleaded as she placed both of her hands in front.

Rafa looked at him sharply.

"Step out of my sight." He said a little snapping. But Ara remained in her position. While shaking their heads."Don't fire them."

"You're blocking my way. Move.....!" rafa Sentak. As Ara remained silent, she stepped next to pass Ara. But Ara was back in her way.

Rafa's upset.

"Don't block my path Ara. How dare you" he shouted a hard stare.

Ara shook her head as she continued to move both of her hands in front of her chest."I'm wrong, please don't fire them. Just punish me." she started crying.

"I'll obey brother's orders, I'll eat. I'll spend it all. But please don't fire them."

"It's not just a matter of whether you want to eat or not. But because they can't cook and make good food. A reliable and professional chef should be able to create foods that can arouse and arouse the taste of the audience. But in fact the food they make can not tempt your appetite in the slightest." said Rafa stared intently.

"No problem with the food. All the food is delicious and delicious. It looks beautiful and beautiful too. They did their job well. I'm wrong for not having the taste to eat." Ara paled back with a sad look.

"My decision has changed. You can't go to college and you'll never go to college again. The chef and waiter will still be fired" Rafa said firmly."Now move aside, don't block my path."

Ara was surprised by the decision. He shook his head while continuing to weld."Don't fire them."

Rafa snorted in annoyance as Ara did not step aside from before him. He immediately stepped past her side.

Ara immediately dropped her body and hugged Rafa's one leg firmly.

Rafa's surprised.

"What are you doing? Stand up you."

Ara bobbing head.

"They are innocent. It's okay if you don't let me go to college anymore. But don't fire them."

Rafa gawked at hearing those words. Ara prefers not to continue college for the sake of the chef and the waiters.

"I always make mistakes that make others difficult. I used to have made Sita's mother fired, until now I continue to be in the shadow of guilt to her! And now they get in trouble because of me! I promise I will do whatever my brother wants. I'll recite whatever your brother says. But please don't fire them." said Ara in between sobs.

Rafa sighed harshly.

"Stand___!"

Ara was getting tighter hugging Rafa's legs.

"I said stand up Ara, why do you always kneel like this to save others?" rafa's getting louder.

Vishnu, the butler stood silently in place. Dare not to open your voice to help.

"Fast to stand." snapped Rafa back.

"Don't want to." Ara insisted that she would not stand up, hugging Rafa's legs even tighter. He would do anything to save the fate of those servants.

Rafa doesn't know what else to do. He's sniffing pissed."Take off my feet Ara, my feet are cramped."

Ara geleng geleng did not want to take off. He thinks that's just Rafa's excuse.

"Why are you so stubborn and so fond of defying my words?" Rafa started to get emotional. Looking down, the body that does not give up asks for forgiveness.

Ara sobbing. He switched to holding Rafa's right hand with two hands. Looking up looking at the face of Rafa who was looking at him."I'll do whatever you want. My sister's decision to quit college will be followed. I'll eat a lot, I'll eat all that. I promise in three days I'll make my weight go up 10 kg. But I beg you, don't fire them." he sank.

Rafa gawked at hearing those words.

10 Kilos in three days? How much food will you eat in a day?

Rafa smiled imagining that.

Again for the sake of saving the fate of others' lives, this sister-in-law will do anything.

He looked at the tears that kept flowing, Ara's trembling hand grip. It can be ascertained because it is weak and hungry.The tears that continue to flow wet the cheeks. His heart melted and was filled. Verily, he was not serious about the threat and the commandment."Good. I'll give them one more chance" he said later.

"Vishnu, hire them back. And warn them if they make a mistake once more, kick them out of here immediately." he ordered vishnu.

"Okay sir." said Vishnu obediently.

Vishnu immediately did his master's order. He gestured for the butler, to bring the fired chef and waitress back to the dining room.

Ara breathed a sigh of relief hearing Rafa's orders to Vishnu. He immediately let go of Rafa's hand. Sweat mixed with tears soaked his trembling face and body. Either the effect of his unstable emotions or because he was weak and hungry.

"You're satisfied and happy, right? Now stand up and go back to the dining table" Rafa said.

Ara nodded weakly, her chest descending from her irregular breathing. He swept the sweat grains in the face. Even to stand up, he was unable to.

Rafa lowered her body, then immediately lifted Ara's body and led her to the dining table.

Ara surprised.

"What did sister do? Put me down."

"Even to stand up, you can't. Shut up and don't say anything." Rafa looked at him. He could tell how weak Ara was at the moment.

Slowly Rafa sat down Ara's body.

Take a tissue, then sweep the sweat on Ara's face and arms.

Ara was shocked again. Didn't expect Rafa to do this.

"Son don't have to do it, let me just" she said awkwardly.

"Have you forgotten the promise you made just now? That you'll be quiet with what I do and whatever I say."

Ara speechless.

Rafa continued to slap her wrists while looking at the girl. Thin face, puffy eyes, thin body.

"Stop torturing yourself, stop crying and mourn Raka's death."

Rafa takes drinking water.

"Drink slowly." put the glass in Ara's hand.

Ara immediately gulped it down slowly.

Rafa poured the new chicken porridge into the bowl. Added eggs and vegetables. He blew the fields to cool it down.

He took a grapefruit.

"Suck the water, to provoke your saliva reaction."

Ara accepted it without refuting, then put it slowly into her mouth. His face turned wryly as he could not feel the sweet sour orange juice in his mouth. Both of his eyes closed.

"Just the water is swallowed, remove the waste" said Rafa noticed the mimic of his face that was careless.

Ara took out the orange pulp that Rafa received directly in his palm. Rafa returned to give water to drink. Rafa switched to stir the porridge back up, blowing it over and over again.

"Open your mouth" he said.

Ara was silent, she was watching her surroundings. He felt awkward and uneasy about what Rafa was doing.

"Sister, let me be, brother doesn't need to bribe me," said Ara softly feeling uneasy.

"Then I take them out of this room, let you not be awkward anymore" said Rafa turned to the servants who stood silently staring down.

"Vishnu, get them out of this space."

Ara slack.

"Bu-not that I mean. Brother don't misunderstand." Ara complained quietly. He did not continue his sentence. Who feared it would end badly again at the waiter.

"That's why just shut up don't talk. Open your mouth." Rafa said back.

Ara obeyed him, opening her mouth with a pouting face. Rafa immediately bribed him with a faint smile. He could read that right now Ara was upset with him.

Chewing food slowly. It feels bitter and does not wear on the throat. I think he wants to vomit

"Live in the swallow if it is not good in the throat. Push it on." Rafa is giving milk.

A while later, with great difficulty ludes also porridge a bowl with a glass of milk and water pushed.

Vishnu, the chef and waiter smiled with relief at their young Miss who managed to finish off one bowl of porridge. Especially someone who was among the ranks of those servants.

"Vishnu, get me my supplements" Rafa said.

Vishnu immediately approached and gave what his master asked for. Rafa opens the lid of his vitamin bottle, takes two grains.

"Open your mouth" looked at Ara.

"What's this?" Ara stared at the supplement.

"Vitamins, you didn't take the vitamins I gave you at the dinner table."

Ara immediately opened her mouth without

ask again.

Rafa immediately put 2 grains of vitamin into Ara's mouth, then followed the drinking water.

Rafa swept the rest of the drinking water around the lips of his sister-in-law. She was relieved and glad Ara had eaten. He did not want to force anymore, afraid that Ara would vomit. What was important to him was that there was already food going into Ara's stomach.

Ara noticed the sweet sour gurame. He thought he should finish this meal according to Rafa's orders. But just looking at it he wants to puke.

"Isn't this your favorite food?" Rafa's watching.

"Yes, I'll eat it first, then the others."

"Are you still able to eat?"

"I have to do it, right? I promised I'd spend all this." said Ara with a sad face annoyed and forced.

Rafa smiled looking at her adorable face with pursed lips irritated. Though he did not seriously force Ara to finish off all this food. Healthy and hungry people will not be able to spend.

"Yes, you should eat it, because it is the hard work of someone who loves you. Someone has made this for you in earnest in the hope that you will eat a lot. Because he knows you really like gurame" said Rafa.

Ara's forehead frowned.

"Someone?"

"Yes." Yeah." Rafa nodded

"Who?" asked Ara with a frown.

"Young lady." came a polite voice from the line of servants.

Ara immediately turned her face to the origin of the sound. For a moment the voice was heard no stranger in his ears. It's like he knows her. Ara noticed the faces of the people

that waitress. Sala one of them raised his face and looked at him.

"Young Miss" said the waiter while smiling at him. He took a step forward after getting a signal from Vishnu.

Ara's face instantly turned bright after seeing who had called out to her.

"Sita's sister?" he said it as if he did not believe.

She smiles. Haru and happy.

Sita smiled back."Young miss."

Ara turned to Rafa.

"So all this time Sita's been working here? Sis hired Sita's mom here?" tanyakanya. He's very happy. The burden on his heart disappeared instantly.

Rafa silently did not answer just looking at him.

His heart was also happy to see the smile that adorned the face covered with sadness for the past two months. He was very happy to see a happy twinkle on that face.

Ara got up from her seat, wanting to get close to Sita, but suddenly her head was dizzy. He's holding his head. The room seemed to spin, his gaze increasingly blurred to look towards Sita. And then he fell unconscious in the arms of Rafa who immediately caught his body before falling down.

The servants were shocked and panicked, especially Sita

"Young Miss."

Vishnu immediately won them over, and told them to be silent.

Rafa immediately lifted Ara's body. He was taken to his room on the 5th floor.
