Handsome Detective
The Part 15
" ah... This master is joking." said the waiter smiling.
" I'm serious Bik, from yesterday afternoon I was the same Arvan looking for Raka but have not met.." said Hans.
" No way sir, people yesterday afternoon just ask to eat in the kitchen. After that Den Raka entered the room and did not come out again..."
" Bibik didn't lie, did he...?" ask Ricko.
" What's in it for aunt to lie, sir..."
" We'd better check Arvan's room." said Dad.
Everyone walks towards Arvan's room to prove the servant's remark that Raka is at home.
Hans opened the door without knocking first. After the door opened, everyone was stunned to see the scene in front of him. Arvan was hugging Raka like a bolster. They both slept in their dreams.
" God...from noon to midnight we travel around the city just to find a boy, it's delicious - it's delicious here." Hans growled.
" Banguunnn...!" shouted Hans.
" Arvans... Ike...!" peekit Ricko's.
Hans and Ricko jump on the mattress over Arvan and Raka. Father and Mother just shake - a head gnash looking at the behavior of his son.
" Awww... sakiittt...!" yell Raka.
" Wooiii.. You guys do disturb people to sleep only...!" snapped Arvan with his eyes closed.
" Wake up, it's noon! Why didn't you tell me Raka was home...?" furious Ricko.
" Had Raka gone home...?" ask Arvan.
" No, don't act stupid, who do you hug!" hans Hardik.
Arvan squirmed as he was still sleepy and tried hard to open his eyes.
" God... Raka...? Since when were you in papa's room...?" asked Arvan in surprise.
Arvan hugged Raka who was also sleepy.
" I'm sorry papa...? Don't go again, dear papa Raka.." said Arvan after kissing the boy's forehead at a glance.
" Hmmm.. seelatin Pa, Raka can not breathe.." lenguh Raka who is still sleepy.
" Oh yes, we're sleeping again. Papa is still sleepy..."
" Hey.. bocil, where did you go yesterday...? Why delete the cctv recording...?"
" Just a prank Uncle..."
" You don't see, everyone's freaking out looking for you." Hans grumbled.
" Sorry Uncle..."
Arvan cradled his son's body that was quite contained even though not fat. It felt very comfortable like something was warming Arvan's heart.
" Papa, let's take a shower... Raka wants to walk - walk.." Raka whine.
" Yes, soon, baby. Papa's still sleepy..."
" Come Pa... Raka's hungry! If Papa doesn't want to wake up, Raka calls Mama so Papa gets scolded..."
Now Arvan and Raka are alone in the room because Hans and Ricko are out for breakfast.
" Just call, let us encourage activity after the sound of Mama's voice." said Arvan.
Arvan is curious about Raka's mother's voice. They have never communicated except through messages. Raka took the phone under her pillow and pressed her Mama's number.
" Hallo Ma.." said Raka.
[" Dear... What are you doing..?"] ask Rissa across the phone.
" Just waking up Ma, it's the same Papa..."
Arvan only listens to the conversation of Raka and her mother. But because Raka hardened the volume of her voice, Arvan could hear the voice of the woman across there.
[" Raka don't ngrepotin Papa there huh...? Can't be naughty and also don't hack carelessly.."]
" Yes Ma. Just calm down, Raka is not naughty. Oh yeah, Mama wants to talk to Papa...?"
Rissa heard a noise across the phone while laughing giggling.
[" Raka, what are you doing..?"]
" Oh no Ma, this is Papa he said to miss Mama. Cepetan come home here." babbled Raka.
" Raka... What did you say to Mama...?" arvan whispered but still heard clearly by Rissa.
[" Raka, Mama came home on Uncle Ricko's wedding day.."]
[" Same with Uncle Willy, why do you love..?"].
" It's okay Ma, Raka and Papa want to take a shower first. Bye Mom, I love you..."
["Love you too, baby.."]
" Love you is also from papa." shouted Raka then turned off her phone connection.
" Raka, Papa didn't say that...!" said Arvan upset.
" Hehehee.. sorry Papa.." said Raka.
" Fuckin' a brat..."
Arvan tickled Raka's body until the boy thrashed for mercy.
" Here Pa, Raka wants to take a shower...!" raka shouted annoyed.
" Oh yeah, we take a shower now but Raka has to promise not to be angry again Papa..."
" Promise...!" Raka linked her little finger to Arvan.
Arvan and Raka go into the bathroom and soak together in a joking manner. They are very suitable as father and son.

One day before the wedding, all the family had gathered to wait for Rissa and William. They will be up until night because of using public flights.
Rissa and William are on a plane bound for Jakarta. Rissa just stared at the clouds outside the glass. There was doubt in his heart to step on his homeland that had been for five years abandoned.
" Rissa... You're okay...?" ask William.
" Eh. yes Brother. Why...?" rissa was shocked.
" Why are you tensing up Ris...?"
" It's okay, brother, I just had a little doubt to return to Indonesia. I haven't been to my mother's grave for a long time, five years have passed but I can't forget those memories..."
" Did you still remember that man's face...?"
" I won't be able to forget that guy. I hate him so much..."
" What if you meet him later...?"
" I hope I won't see him again..."
" But you know for yourself what Raka looks like, if she finds out Arvan is not her real father, she will find out who her father is..."
" Let's just not Brother, I'm not ready to meet him..."
" You're not trying to find him, are you...?"
" I wanted to find him at first, but now I want to forget him..."
" What about your family...?"
" They never thought I existed and hated me so much..."
" Are you now happy living with Sebastian's family...?"
" Of course, they were very sincere in loving me regardless of my origin. I found a mother figure inside of Ms. Sarah. He made me feel the warmth of a mother's arms..."
" Rest, our journey is long..."
" Yes Brother..."
Rissa leaned her body against the back of the chair and tried to close her eyes. Trying to throw away his past with clouds scattered in space.
But only a few minutes later, Rissa felt her heart breaking. He thought about his son, Raka. What if Raka accidentally meets her real father? What should Rissa do if the man still recognized her?
Rissa's mind drifted far into the past where she met the man. Because of his kindness and innocence at that time, his life became ruined and increasingly hated by his own family. Only the mother's navel always made her heart feel calm.
" Mom, I miss you so much. I'm sorry I haven't visited you in five years. Erina promised, from now on Erina will visit Mom as often as possible. Erina will introduce Raka, the mother's granddaughter. I love you Mom, you always keep me in my slump." - Rissa.
Unknowingly, tears flowed profusely from his eyes. Truly at this moment, only his mother missed him the most.
