Dad's First And Last Hugs
Eps. 14

A few days passed, today was the day where Rafi would do a painting race, already from this evening Ruli had been excited by this for later he used to encourage Rafi.

"Rafi later if you run out of ideas you can see father yes, later father will give encouragement for you you can you have a good idea to finish your painting," ruli said giving a message to Rafi.

"Yes dad's gonna do it, Rafi,"

"Rafi happy because finally dad can accompany Rafi race today," continued Rafi who was happy.

"Should dong, even though there was an important meeting father immediately mengcanselnya to be able to accompany you the race," reply Ruli who was very enthusiastic to accompany Rafi race.

Rafa who is there can only pray in his heart, hopefully he can be like Rafi who gets so much affection from his father, Rafa prayed in his heart.

Rafa is so reminded of the time he entered the race a few days ago, when it coincided with a holiday but his father could not accompany him and preferred overtime at the office, which he did, whereas now his father should have an important meeting schedule with clients but his father preferred to accompany Rafi rather than the important meeting.

Rafa is now more self-aware, maybe this is his life path that can not feel the affection of his father, but sometimes he also likes to be envious of Rafi who always get special treatment from his father.

"Let's go now, later to hunt late," invited Luna to invite her family to immediately leave for the race.

"Yes ma'am" they replied.

Finally they went to use Ruli's car, Rafa and Rafi sat in the back, while on the way Rafa's ears continued to listen to his father who was cool talking to Rafi.

Honestly wanted Rafa to be in their conversation, but he was afraid that later his father would insult him again.

"Why are you quiet, baby, are you sick?" asked Luna who had not heard Rafa's voice.

"No, Rafa is fine" Rafa replied.

"It should have been if the pain was silent at home do not come with us, make a fuss," said Ruli with an unpleasant tone of speech.

"Yes, I'm sorry" replied Rafa.

"You did it anyway" said Luna.

Ruli also did not reply to his wife's words, she preferred to focus on staring at the streets in front until they reached the venue there was no conversation between them.

"Rafa you are the same mother, let Rafi be the same father," said Luna holding Rafa's hand so as not to disappear amid the dense crowds of people who came to the event.

"Yes Ma'am," replied Rafa.

Ruli immediately took Rafi's hand, the four of them walked to the gathering place of the participants, after delivering Rafi there the three of them immediately looked for a place for them to sit.

"We just sit here so that later it can be seen clearly," invited Luna to invite Ruli to sit in the front row.

Fortunately, there were still many empty seats so that the three of them could choose the front seat.

"Here you are next to me, let him be on the sidelines," said Ruli when Luna would tell Rafa to sit quietly in the middle between Luna and Ruli.

"But I...."

"Oh well done, I don't want us to make a fuss here," cut Ruli who did not receive a rebuttal from Luna.

"Rafa sitting here doesn't papa right?" ask Luna who is actually very unbearable to her son.

"No papa kok Bu, Rafa also can not see," replied Rafa.

"Well that's good, you're finally self-aware too" Ruli said without looking at Rafa.

"Mas, plis don't talk like that anymore" said Luna pleading.

"What the hell, my people don't insult him either, the person he said himself," replied Ruli.

"Hufft.." again and again Luna could only take her breath so that she could be patient in dealing with her husband like this.

"Why would you like to eat a snack, honey?" asked Luna to take off the crackle she had brought from home.

Wrap the crackle contains some snacks that can accompany them in watching the event of a painting race so as not to get bored.

"Rafa wants potato chips alone, but not spicy," replied Rafa.

Luna immediately took the potato chips that Rafa wanted, not to forget he also opened the plastic snack to make it easier for Rafa to eat.

Not long after that the race event was started, all participants were already in their respective places including Rafi.

Fortunately Rafi was in the front row so that he could see the whereabouts of his family.

"Let's get Rafi excited, I always support you," Ruli shouted in encouragement to Rafi.

Rafi replied with a thumbs up to her father.

Rafa who heard his father's screams could only smile bitterly, where could he get cheers from his father like that, thought Rafa.

The race began and all the participants began to paint with their respective creations, long enough the race event runs until finally the announcement who the winner took place, and Rafi who got the first champion.

"Rafi you are so great, I'm proud of you" Ruli shouted as Rafi was receiving gifts on stage.

"Thank you to my father, mother and Rafa who accompanied Rafi today, and this gift is presented to you, I love you father, mother," rafi said as a greeting for his victory.

Rafi immediately came down from the stage and Ruli who saw it immediately ran over to Rafi and hugged her.

Actually Rafa does not know the scene because he can not see, but the whispers of the people who are in if make him know that now his father is hugging his twin brother.

"Definitely his father is very proud of his son, look at him hugging his son with affection" said the person beside Rafa.

"Yes right, who wouldn't be proud if his son won first place, if I might do the same thing as his father, running and hugging her child tightly continue to be given enough affection all over her face, it is a symbol of the happiness of parents to their children," said the person behind Rafa.

Hearing that, Rafa was very envious of his twin brother who received special treatment from his father.

"I also want to be in the arms of a father like Rafi," Rafa's mind was sad.
