Handsome Detective
Part 17's
" What is that...?" Arvan Mumbles.
Arvan sees something inside the blanket moving - motion on the sofa.
" Who's sleeping here in the morning...?"
Arvan walked up to the sofa and saw William sleeping on the right-hand side sofa. Then Arvan glanced at the left sofa towards the moving person - motion inside the blanket.
" Is this maybe Raka's mother...? But why sleep here...?" muttered Arvan again.
" Sister Willy. wake up...!" Arvan shakes William's shoulder.
" Hmmm.." said William lazily.
" Sister, it's noon. Want to come to Ricko's wedding no.." cried Arvan.
Ms. Sarah and the others approached Arvan who appeared to be talking to someone.
" Who's talking to Van...?" ask Mother.
" It's wake up Willy, ma'am..."
" Willy and Rissa are here...?"
William who heard the noise immediately woke up even though his eyes still wanted to be closed.
" Uncle Willy.." cried Raka happily.
" Hey boy.it looks like you're staying here." said Willy.
" Mama where's Uncle...?"
" Oh, still sleeping.Wake up there, Uncle wants to take a shower first..."
Hans was ready with his car just waiting for the passengers.
" It's not leaving...?" ask Hans.
" But Rissa hasn't woken up yet." said Arvan.
" Look, Arvan will wait for Rissa and Willy to take a shower. The others left first." said Dad.
" Alright, Arvan wait for Willy's brother..."
Willy immediately went inside Hans' room to clean up while the others had already departed.
Arvan sits with Raka in front of Rissa who is still sleeping. Raka did not want to wake her mother out of pity.
" Raka, wake up your mama. It'll be late for Uncle Ricko's wedding..."
" Mama must be tired Pa, come home from work straight here. Wait a minute until you wake up by yourself..."
Willy who was ready, immediately approached Arvan and Raka who were arguing.
" Let's go...!" take Willy.
" Rissa is still sleeping Brother." replied Arvan.
" Why wasn't it built...?"
" Don't Uncle, pity mama's tired..."
" Huft. but we can be late Raka..."
" Papa sama Uncle just first, later Raka later with Mama..."
" Look, Willy's sister used the driver first. Let Arvan be with Raka and Rissa..."
" Yes, then I go first." said William.
Almost half an hour waiting, Rissa finally opened her blanket and sat down.
" What time is it...? Why is the house so quiet...?" rissa muttered.
" Mama...!" yelled Raka arrived - arrived.
Raka ran to hug her half-conscious mother. Rissa smiled then kissed the child's puffed cheek.
" Dear, what is a lonely house...?" ask Rissa.
" Everyone's gone to Aunty Sandra's house, Ma..."
" Why doesn't anyone wake up, Mama, baby...?"
" Mama must be tired, Raka can't bear to wake up Mama..."
" Yeah, where's Raka's room. Mama's gonna take a shower first..."
" At the top, let's take Raka between..."
After taking her mother to the room, Raka went down to see her father.
" Pa, what else is...?" ask Raka.
" Make breakfast for your mom, baby. Mama is awake...?"
" Here, it's another bath in Papa's room..."
" Why in Papa's room...?"
" Mama asked Raka's room, so Raka just take her to Papa's room.." said Raka.
Raka and Arvan put the food on the room table then both fall on the bed waiting for Rissa to finish the bath.
Before long, the bathroom door opened and the sound of footsteps approached Arvan and Raka who were lying on their backs.
" Raka, brother Arvan." call Rissa.
" This voice_.." muttered Arvan as if remembering something.
" Mama's done taking a shower...? Also, Papa has made a special breakfast for Mama.." said Raka.
Arvan's heart skipped a beat very fast hearing a voice similar to the woman he had been looking for.
" What kind of feeling is this? Why do I feel nervous to deal with Rissa.." Inner Arvan.
Rissa felt the same way as Arvan. His heart was beating uncharacteristically and nervously reached his heart.
Slowly Arvan got out of bed and approached Rissa who was sitting on the sofa with Raka.
" Rissa..."
" Yes Kak_..."
They looked at each other, but with different eyes. They were so shocked that Rissa dropped the spoon in her hand onto the floor.
" You..."
" Erina.." said Arvan.
" Why are you here...!" rissa shouted that arrived hysterically.
" Erina, listen to my explanation first." said Arvan.
" Go! I won't see you again...!" strangling Rissa while crying made Raka scared.
" Mom why are you angry with Papa...?" asked Raka scared.
" Silence Raka, he's not your papa...!" snapped Rissa.
" Erina Enough! Don't yell at Raka, she doesn't know anything about our past..." Arvan grabs Raka in her cradle for the boy to stop crying.
" Don't listen to what you say dear Mama, until whenever your papa is your papa." Arvan told her son.
" Why is Mama angry...?"
" Raka wait outside huh? Let me talk to Mama..."
" Yes Pa..."
Raka came out of the room and waited for them downstairs. Arvan approached Erina who looked very angry.
" I'm sorry Erina, I didn't intentionally do that to you..."
" Go! I won't see you again...!"
" I know this is hard for you, I've been looking for you for five years now. How can you go that far? My life also suffers from the guilt that always haunts me. Forgive me... I'll marry you..."
" I don't want to marry you...!" yell Erina.
" Think about our son, he needs both of us." Arvan said.
" I hate you... I don't want to see you again...! I'll take Raka as far away from you as possible...!"
" Erina, after all I'm Raka's biological father. He needs me too..."
" Why are you so sure he's your son? You're not the only guy I've spent the night with..."
" Stop your rant Erina! I'm sure Raka is my son...!"
Long debate continues, Raka who had wanted to invite them to go to the wedding Ricko undo his intentions.
Raka heard her parents debating about her father's status. Although his age is still entering the age of toddler, but his mind way far above children his age. His tears flowed hard to hear the quarrel of his parents.
" Is it true that Papa Arvan is not my birth father...? Who's my real papa...?" batin Raka's.
Raka immediately got down and got out of the house without the knowledge of the house guards. He also deleted all the cctv footage in the house during his exit.
" If my existence only makes papa and mama quarrel, Raka better get away from you. Raka does not want to be a burden for you." muttered Raka while wiping her tears.
Raka texted someone and then turned off her smartphone. He walked down the street not knowing where to go. Raka was still crying staring at the people passing by in front of her.
Right now Raka was sitting in the corner of the garden all by herself. Seeing a child her age who was held lovingly by her parents made Raka feel envious. Since birth, he has never felt the love of a full-fledged parent. Arvan who he considers as his biological father turned out to be just a lie. Her mother was never seen with her father.
" Whose child am I really...?" batin Raka's.

Half an hour later, someone reached home then rushed towards Arvan's room. There was still a voice of debate in the room.
" Stop your quarrels...!"
