Handsome Detective
The Part 35

" Arvan and Erina must be proud to have a genius child like you, Raka.." - Hans.

" Uncle, Raka is hungry." whine Raka.

" Oh yeah, Raka wants to eat what...?" ask Hans.

" As you bought this morning, it tastes good..."

" What did your mom buy...?"

" Rice but it's yellow and there's eggs, too..."

" Oh.that's called yellow rice..."

" Buy now, Uncle...?"

" Nights - nights like this are hard to hear, usually selling yellow rice is morning..."

" Yes, Uncle... Raka wants to eat that...!" whinek Raka again.

" Huft..all right, we're looking now. But if there's no one we eat another." said Hans resigned.

It's been a month that Arvan has been in a coma in the hospital. There are no signs - a sign of him will soon be aware of his long sleep.

Raka and Hans are busy investigating Arvan's hit-and-run case as well as Erina's assault. Police could not find any evidence because the car used a fake license plate.

Raka stood on the balcony of her room staring at the spacious courtyard below her. Raka really misses her Mama who is far away in the land of people. Raka also thought of a way to solve the case.

" Hey... The kid...! What are you thinking...?" ask Ricko.

" Uncle.. nothing - what.." said Raka flat.

" You're exactly like your papa, if you're thinking a lot, you'd rather be alone..."

" It's been a month Mama's not here, is Mama still angry with papa...?"

" Your mother's job is so much, it can't be left alone..."

" Raka knows, Uncle. But papa needs mama right now..."

" Already, don't think strange - strange. How's your investigation...?"

" There's no trace yet, only that person ever mentioned Selly's name. Did Uncle ever hear that name...?"

" Selly's... Selly's... Selly...? Oh yeah, that's the woman who always approaches your papa..."

" Really...? Uncle knows where the house is...?"

" No, maybe Uncle Hans knows. Your father spent more time with Hans on such matters..."

" Yes, thank you Uncle. later Raka asked Uncle Hans..."

" Yes, Uncle wants to go first with Aunt Sandra. You want to come...?"

" No, Raka just wait for Uncle Hans..."

" Ok, Uncle go first..."

Raka stared at Ricko's departure from her room. He sighed softly then took his phone to contact Hans.

" Hello, Uncle. hurry home, I need your help...!"

"...._"

" Surprisingly...!"

Raka immediately closed her phone unilaterally then opened the laptop in front of her.

" Akh... Why can't I focus...? Is it because there is no Mama.." muttered Raka.

Raka closed her laptop back and then walked out of the room to the backyard of her favorite place.

Half an hour later, Hans came rushing over because Raka was already waiting for him.

" She...!" call Hans from outside the room.

Because there was no confirmation, Hans went into the room but the one he was looking for was nowhere.

" Where did the boy go...?" muttered Hans.

Hans returns to the bottom to look for Raka's whereabouts. All the rooms he had searched but the boy remained invisible to the trunk of his nose. Hans to the backyard where Raka used to be alone.

" Raka, where are you...?" shouted Hans.

" I'm here, Uncle." replied Raka from the top of the mango tree.

" What are you doing...?"

" Nothing's..."

" Huft...get down! Mama you called but you didn't answer..."

" My phone's in the room, what's up...? Is Mama coming...?"

" Just ask yourself later, now come down...!"

" Okay, I'm coming...!" Raka jumped from the top of the tree and landed in front of Hans.

" Stop that behavior! If Rissa finds out I can chop my head off...!"

" Mama's not that cruel, Uncle..."

Raka walked towards the saung near where she was standing followed by Hans. Raka sat leaning against the bamboo wall that still looked sturdy.

" Uncle, tell me about Selly...!" said Raka flat.

" Selly who...?" hans asked in wonder.

" The one who he said was always after papa..."

" Where do you know about Selly...?"

" Uncle just tell me..."

" Huft..well_..." Hans sighed softly before starting his story.

" Selly was your father's schoolmate as a kid. He's been chasing your papa even though he's been rejected so many times..."

" His relationship with my mom...?"

" Hmmm... Selly is your mother's stepbrother. Their relationship was so bad that they were little. Selly and her mom hate Rissa, your mom..."

" So, there's a chance this is all Aunt Selly's doing...?"

" It could be, he's a very bad man..."

" Well, I will repay his evil deeds to my mother with my own hands." - furious Raka.

" Hey.you can't do anything! Remember Rissa's mom's message...!" exclaim Hans.

" Let's calm Uncle, Raka just wants to know about Mama's family..."

" I mean...?"

" Raka will go into that house and find out everything..."

" That's very dangerous, Raka...!"

" Uncle take it easy, investigate who lives in that house..."

" Huft's... I know the waiter in the house. But since your grandfather died, Uncle hasn't seen him again..."

" Is the waiter siding with Selly...?"

" No, she was your mother's nanny from birth..."

" Give me that home address, Uncle..."

" Why...?"

" Once it is, it will be Raka's business later. Uncle just need to find information about the house..."

" All right, but meet your papa for a second. Ever since she got sick, you've only seen her once with your mom." Hans said.

" Papa doesn't need Raka, he just wants to meet Mama. Maybe mama is still angry so does not want to meet with papa.." said Raka.

" It's up to you, boy...!" hans was upset.

Hans immediately left after getting an order from Raka. He immediately contacted his men to keep an eye on Selly's house.

Hans is back in the hospital because Mr and Mrs Sebastian have to return to London tonight. The work piling up in London must be completed soon as Rissa often travels abroad to meet clients.

Almost an hour Hans drove his car, now he has arrived at the hospital parking lot. She heads straight to Arvan's treatment room to meet her foster parents.

" Dad, mom, you need rest. Later in the night you have to travel a long way, now go home and rest." Hans said with a smile.

" Surely mother can't leave Arvan like this, Hans. I don't know until when Arvan will fall asleep like this..." Mom crying in Dad's arms.

" Mom, if you want Arvan to wake up, please persuade Rissa to come back here. Not only Raka expected it back, but Arvan as well..."

" I'll try, Hans. May Rissa open her heart to Arvan..."

" Had Hans told this story long ago, maybe Arvan wouldn't have been like this, ma'am..."

" That's it, no need to regret what happened, Hans..."

Hans looked at his foster brother wryly. In his hand was strong. Thousands of do'a and hopes in his heart never receded for his brother's recovery.

" You gotta heal Van, you can't give up. I'm sure Erina can love you someday. Keep holding on for Raka and Erina. I will always support whatever you do. You know, your son is great, maybe even better than you. Come back, Raka needs you..." Hans wiped away the tears that escaped just so wet his cheeks.

" Dad, Mom. Let's go home. You have to rest, long trips later can make you tired quickly." said Hans.

" You're right, Hans. Then, Dad, take your sister. Take good care of him." said the sad father.

" Don't worry, Dad... Hans and brother Ricko must have taken good care of Arvan. She's our beloved sister, there's no way we're neglecting her." Hans replied with a smile.

" Thank you, kid... I'm proud to have great kids like you..."

" We won't let Mom and Dad down." Hans said.

After embracing Arvan in turn, Mr and Mrs Sebastian immediately left the hospital to pack their goods to be taken abroad.
