This afternoon Raffael completed his meeting sooner so that his work will also be quickly completed if the meeting is in order.
At half-four in the afternoon Raffael seemed relieved because all the work was done.he just gave some files to his secretary who was none other than his own sister, Livy.
Raffael came out of his room to give some files to Livy, and went home to pick up his wife and son who were still in the cafe. I don't know, since getting married, Raffael always wanted to go home from work early. It was not like meeting with Jelita for a few hours just made him hit by acute longing.
“If work is focused!” Gerutu Raffael when entering Livy's room, Livy was busy calling someone.
Livy immediately disconnected his phone because he felt bad for his boss, even though his own brother.
Meanwhile Raffael is still a little upset with his sister because of the incident this morning where Livy was picked up by Febian without telling him first. Now plus, while in working hours, Livy even engrossed in phone with Febian again.
“Sorry. What's up, Brother?” ask Livy.
“This file you check again, if there is data that is still wrong, quickly finish!” raffael replied in a jutek tone.
Livy just nodded at receiving the file from her brother. But Raffael also did not come out of his room.
“Remember, Vy! Not that you interfere in your personal affairs, but act professional. Where is your job and where is your personal business.” Raffael gave an ultimatum.
“Iya, Brother. Sorry!”
***
Now Raffael is on his way to Bu Alin's cafe. Raffael's mood has not been good. Especially with Livy. Now Raffael has found a bad mood drug that is by meeting his wife.
Moments later Raffael arrived at Bu Alin's Cafe parking lot. After parking his car, he immediately went into the cafe. Although he knew that his wife was not working, Raffael wanted to enter Bu Alib's house through Cafe instead of through the side door.
Raffael stops his steps when he sees Ethan looking enthusiastic about his toy. No. gabe. It wasn't Ethan's toy that made Raffael's chest roar violently with his hands clenched. But the two people who were sitting with Ethan playing were the ones who made Raffael's chest tight.
Raffael seemed to not believe the view he saw now.how could his wife was sitting with Mario and accompany Ethan. Although he was sure that his wife loved him very much, but seeing Jelita being together with Mario accompanied Ethan was like a bad thought to cross his mind immediately. Mario is Ethan's biological father. What if Mario, then,..
“Dad!!”
Ethan's screaming voice calling out his father's name made Raffael buar's daydream instantly. While Jelita looked surprised by the arrival of her husband, either since earlier or just now, but surely at this time she saw the look of her husband's face looked different.
Raffael approaches the Cafe visitor's table where Jelita and Ethan are. With Mario of course.
“Mas, already home?” greet Jelita as she grabs the back of her husband's hand and kisses him reverently.
Raffael again melted with his wife's obedient attitude like this. No matter where the place, Jelita always applies as a wife who is very obedient to her husband.
While Mario who witnessed the scene right in front of him, immediately his heart was disturbed. It is very desirable to have a woman who has given birth to her child but becomes the wife of her own best friend.
“Eh, Raff! I was at your house. Aunty Abi Ethan said it was here. So I just came straight here.” Mario said.
“Hmm...” replied Raffael briefly impressed no matter.
Jelita was confused by the current situation, especially the look on her husband's face still looks creepy like a hungry lion.
Raffael just nodded faintly. But his gaze was fixed on Ethan who was again busy with his new toy. He believes that the new toy must have been bought by Mario. Ethan seemed enthusiastic when he saw his arrival. His attention is now on his new toy.
“You can't use Ethan. I know what's on your mind.” Raffael told Mario.
Ever since Mario is Ethan's biological father, Raffael's attitude has been unfriendly to Mario. More about Mario's past with Jelita.
“What the hell, Raff mean you? I don't understand.” Mario looked calm. Although he actually knew where Raffael was heading.
“Ck, don't pretend to be stupid! I gave you a chance to meet Ethan. But I hope you didn't take advantage of it all by seeking the attention of my wife.”
Mario speechless. He was confused to answer his best friend's statement because what Raffael said was true.
“You don't think of anything. I really want to meet Ethan. Was it wrong to meet my own son? My own flesh?” said Mario with a firm voice as if challenging Raffael.
Raffael clenched his hands tightly, eager to throw a punch on Mario's face. But he tried hard to hold it. If he is angry and provoked by the emotions of Mario, it will make Mario happy and win from him.
“Come, Mas! We go home now.” Take Jelita who suddenly came with a box of Black Forest cakes.
Raffael got up from his seat without responding to Mario again. After that he took Ethan home.Luckily the boy did not protest, although his playing activities were a little disturbed. Raffael nodded faintly at Bu Alin from far away after saying goodbye to him while Mario, he let it go. Although his wife had asked Ethan to browbeat Mario's hand before going home.
Jelita is in the car. Ethan is still busy with his toys. In fact, she did not dare to look at her husband or invite him to talk because Raffael has returned to creepy mode.
Upon arrival at home, Ethan immediately approached Oma and Opanya who were relaxing in the living room. While Jelita climbed the stairs into the room to prepare warm water for her husband.
Jelita finished preparing the water for Raffael. But when she came out of the bathroom, she did not see her husband in the room. Raffael was on the balcony of the room while smoking.
“Mas, warm water I have prepared.” Jelita approached her husband.
Raffael put out his cigarette and went in without answering his wife. Jelita also walked around Raffael because it felt bad to be ignored by her husband.
“Mas! You're mad at me?” ask Jelita.
Raffael stopped his steps. Moreover, he faintly heard a small sobbing sound. Then he turned to look at his wife who had shed tears.
“I'm confused, Mas. I know you were angry when I saw me accompanying Ethan and Mario earlier. I don't know what I should do? Should I let Ethan be with Mario? I'm afraid, if he takes Ethan.” away Jelita said explaining her heartbreak.
Raffael who could not bear to see his wife crying, immediately pulled Jelita into his arms. There was a sense of regret and jealousy mingled into one in his heart. Jelita's words have a point, too. Then what about his feelings?
