Second Woman

Rafa's Efforts

The day had changed, Tiara was again preoccupied with a lot of work that he had to finish immediately. After work hours are finished Tiarapun immediately tidy up his work desk.

Tiara wanted to go home quickly because she had to go to the hospital immediately to see the Stars.

It has been a few days since Bintang was hospitalized because according to the explanation of the doctor Bintang suffered from pneumonia that can occur due to exposure to cigarette smoke, densely populated dwellings with a lot of air pollution and polluted environment.

After Bianca finished tidying up her desk, she immediately took her steps out of her room. When Bianca just passed through the lobby someone suddenly called out to her.

"Tiara, wait!" rafa called Tiara.

Tiarapun stopped his steps and brought his gaze to Rafa who was walking towards him.

"It looks like it's yours!" said Rafa while giving a small notebook to Tiara.

Tiara received the little notebook and opened it to make sure it was hers.

"Aaahh yes, this is Tiara's, why can it be with Rafa?" ask Tiara.

"I found it in your parents' grave, it looks like you dropped it there" Rafa replied.

"Aaahh yes, thank you for returning it to Tiara, excuse me, Tiara" said Tiara then walked away but Rafa immediately took his steps walking beside Tiara.

"Do you want to go home?" ask Rafa.

"No sir, Tiara is going to the hospital" Tiara replied.

"To the hospital? are you sick?" ask Rafa to worry.

"No, Tiara wanted to see Tiara's nephew who was being treated in the hospital," Tiara replied.

"That's it, if you want I can take you," said Rafa

"Thank you sir, but there's no need, Tiara can go alone" Tiara replied.

"He's in a hospital near here, isn't he? I just happen to want to go there too!"

"Yes sir, but Tiara will go alone, thanks to her offer, excuse me," said Tiara with a slight bow of her head and then walked quickly away from Rafa just like that.

"Only a small refusal like this won't make me give up Tiara, just look at what I can do to get back at you!" rafa said in her heart and walked towards the place where she parked her car.

Tiara who was already at the stop immediately boarded the bus that would take her to the hospital. When Tiara arrived at the hospital, she was shocked to see Rafa sitting on one of the chairs.

"Sir Rafa, why is Rafa here?" inner Tiara asked inwardly.

Seeing Rafa sitting there, Tiara simply ignored him and continued her steps towards where the Star was being treated.

On the other hand Rafa who had arrived at the hospital was deliberately waiting for the arrival of Tiara and when he saw Tiara came Rafapun immediately took his steps to walk after Tiara.

Realizing Rafa's presence beside her made Tiara feel a little uncomfortable, but she chose to keep quiet without saying anything and still continued her steps towards the room where the Star was being treated.

Until finally Tiara stopped in front of the Star room with Rafa who was still following her and standing beside her.

"What is Mr Rafa doing here?" tiara asked who in the end asked the purpose of the existence of Rafa who had been following her.

"Checking the Stars," Rafa replied with a smile then walked into the Star's ward just like that.

Tiara only frowned seeing Rafa's attitude, but there was nothing she could do but follow Rafa into the Star room.

"Hello pretty, how are you?" asked Rafa who was taking his steps towards the Star who was lying on his bed.

"Rafa, how do you know the stars are here?" asked Gita who was surprised to see the arrival of Rafa.

But after he saw Tiara enter, Gitapun nodded his head with a smile.

"Aahh you came with Tiara apparently," said Gita.

"How's the Star?" tiara asked as she gave the fruits she brought to Gita.

"The situation has improved but it is still not allowed to go home by the doctor" replied Gita.

"Let him be cared for here until he is completely cured" Tiara said.

"Thank you, Tiara, sorry to bother you" said Gita.

"Don't talk like that, aren't we family!" reply Tiara.

Gitapun nodded his head with a smile, he felt grateful because Tiara was still being nice to him after what he did to Tiara.

"Thank you for coming to see Bintang, Rafa, sorry because I haven't been able to work because the doctor hasn't allowed Bintang to go home" Gita told Rafa.

"Rafa understands, brother, don't be in too much of a hurry to get back to the cafe, the most important star's recovery at the moment" Rafa replied.

"Thank you Rafa, actually since a few days yesterday the star has become very quiet, I don't know if it turns out he is holding back pain, I am indeed very stupid to be an old man, I am very stupid, I didn't realize my son was sick" Gita said with her eyes fixed on the Star lying before him.

"All parents must be trying to do the best for their children and Rafa believes Gita's sister is like that too" said Rafa.

"Ooohh yes Rafa brought this for Bintang, hopefully he likes it," continued Rafa while giving a paper bag to Gita.

Gita then opened the paper bag and looked at the Barbie doll in a very nice dress.

"Waaahh this is so beautiful, thanks Rafa, Bintang must really like it" said Gita.

After a long chat, Tiara then say goodbye followed by Rafa who also say goodbye home.

Rafa then took his steps following Tiara who had already come out first.

"Why did Rafa follow Tiara?" tiara asked Rafa

"I'm not following you, Brother Gita is an officer in my cafe, it's not natural that I visit his sick son" Rafa reasoned.

"Will Mr Rafa do the same for another employee of Pak Rafa's cafe?" ask Tiara.

"Mmmm, of course, but only if I have free time hehehe.." replied Rafa.

Tiara only smiled faintly at Rafa's reply.

"Are you just smiling?" rafa asked whispered in Tiara's ear which made Tiara immediately keep her distance with Rafa.

"No," Tiara replied briefly as she sped up her steps leaving Rafa.

"But I saw you smiling earlier," said Rafa who was beside Tiara.

Tiara then stopped her steps and brought her gaze to Rafa with an annoyed look.

"Mmmmm there, you must allow me to drive you home" Rafa replied with a smile.

"Tiara can go home alone sir, Tiara excuse me," said Tiara then walked back to leave Rafa.

But Rafa did not give up, he still followed the steps of Tiara who walked faster.

"Are you sure you'll reject me again? did you forget that you rejected me and I was in the hospital before you came, aren't you afraid that I'll be at your house before you get home if you refuse me again?" ask Rafa.

"As for Mr. Rafa," Tiara replied without caring and immediately stopped the taxi and left Rafa just like that.

Rafa only smiled faintly then immediately got into his car and drove his car towards where Tiara lived.

"I have to get to his house first" Rafa said as he stepped on the accelerator.

After a while Rafapun can breathe a sigh of relief because he has arrived at the residence Tiara.

With confidence Rafa takes his steps to sit on the chair on the porch of the house where Tiara lives.

He waited for Tiara with a smile, until hours later the smile slowly faded.

"Why hasn't he arrived yet? has he been in the house since?" rafa asked himself.

"No way, he must have turned on the lights of his house if he had reached home" said Rafa, shaking his head.

Time passed bringing the night to a close, but there was no sign of the arrival of the Tiara. Even so Rafa still sat in his place, although several times he stood and walked back and forth there because he was bored.

"I left my job to follow Tiara, now that I'm at her house and she's not coming, it's annoying but I like it and I won't stop doing this," said Rafa who again walked back and forth on the terrace of Tiara's house.

Without Rafa knowing Tiara actually did not return home after he left the hospital. He did not want to meet Rafa when he got to his house, which is what made Tiara ask the taxi driver to take him to where Kevin works.

Later that night, Tiara accompanies Kevin to the studio where Kevin works.

"Aren't you going home Ra?" kevin asked Tiara who had been accompanying him.

"What do you mean you're kicking me out?" reply Tiara asked.

"Hahaha that's not what I mean, but you're not so tired, you go to the hospital to see Bintang and you come straight here before you have time to rest at home" Kevin said.

"How is the Star of Ra?" kevin asked.

"Son Gita said things have improved, but he is still not allowed to go home" Tiara replied.

"I actually felt sorry for him, because that little boy had to feel the state of his family that was not okay, he became a very quiet little boy, he was very quiet, it was rare for me to hear his voice when I accidentally met him" Kevin said.

"After I stay with him I won't let him live with grief, I have to make his childhood full of smiles like my mom and dad did to me!"

"You're such a good aunt, the stars would love to have a aunt like you!"

"I'm Kevin's brother, I wouldn't let him call me aunty, I feel so old if he called me aunty!" tiara's protest that made Kevin chuckle.

Time passed, the clock showed at 9 p.m.

"Kevin, I think I should go home now!" tiara said to Kevin.

"Wait a minute, I'll drive you home after I finish this!" said Kevin.

"There's no need to drive me Kevin, I'm going home alone, after all, isn't your work deadline tomorrow morning!"

"You know, I'll do it again after I drop you off" Kevin said.

"I can go home by myself Kevin, you just finish your job!" tiara said and moved from her seat.

"Are you sure?" kevin asked who was nodding his head by Tiara.

"Then I'll book a taxi for you" said Kevin and ordered a taxi for Tiara.

Shortly after Kevin's taxi arrives, Tiara leaves Kevin to return home.

"If Rafa's really waiting for me at home after coming home from the hospital, he's gone now, isn't he?" inner Tiara asked inwardly.

After some time in the journey Tiarapun arrived in front of the house where he lived.

When Tiara got out of the taxi she was so surprised to see Rafa's car parked in her yard and more to her surprise when she saw Rafa who was already sitting on the seat on the terrace her house.

"What is Mr Rafa doing here?" tanya Tiara walked over to Rafa.

"Waiting for you" Rafa replied with a smile.

"When is Mr Rafa here? it's not possible since I got home from the hospital, is it?" ask Tiara.

"Of course, ever since you left the hospital, I thought you were going home but I've been here for hours and you haven't come home" replied Rafa, who made Tiara so surprised.

"It's better for Mr. Rafa to come home now, it's already night time, wouldn't it be unethical if a superior was at his employee's house at this hour!" tiara.

"You're right, then I'll go home first, you get some rest and don't think about me too much!" rafa said with a smile and took her step into her car and drove her away from Tiara's house.

Tiara just frowned not understanding Rafa's attitude. He then went inside his house, took a bath and immediately laid his body on his bedroom bed.

"Finally tomorrow I can relax without thinking about work" Tiara said before closing her eyes.

The day changed, Tiara who was still soundly in her sleep was shocked by the sound of knocking on the door from the front of her house.

Tiara immediately woke up from her sleep and saw her wall clock which still showed at 06.00 am.

"Good God, who's like this!" tiara said annoyed and then walked out of her room.

Lazily Tiara opened the door of her room and was so surprised when she saw Rafa who was already standing in front of her house.

"Sir Rafa, what is Mr Rafa doing here so early?" ask Tiara.

"Even if it's a weekend you can't laze Tiara, I've brought a bike and we can cycle together towards the park," rafa pointed to two bikes parked in the courtyard of Tiara's house.

"But Tiara......"

"You can't refuse, this is my order as your boss, the rest of the friends are already waiting in the park, we're going to cycle together from there as a form of our new project campaign on the importance of keeping the environment alive" Rafa said.

"Isn't that just the staff of each division?" ask Tiara.

"You're right, as the boss of the staff shouldn't we go directly on the field?" rafa's reply made Tiara unable to dodge anymore.

As a result, Tiarapun immediately prepare to cycle with Rafa towards the park.
