The Warm Home
Season 2 Chapter 9

"Wow! My favorite chicken thigh. Thanks."

Raka said with sparkling eyes as Raphael gave his food.

"Either. Come on, we'll start eating."

They both eat quietly (?) No. gabe.... Raka ate very voraciously like a person who had not eaten for days.

"Crying is draining my energy. Yep! I can't cry anymore. Wasting my time and energy!" He said in his heart.

Without realizing it, Raphael gave more portions to his plate. Raka really focused on her delicious food. In fact, a vegetable that he usually had a very hard time eating, this time he ate it voraciously. There is also his favorite chicken.

"My guess is right. He must have eaten a lot. From yesterday her eating schedule was a mess. Nicholas said he only ate snacks in his room."

Raka finished her meal. He noticed his plate and Raphael's plate was different in size.

"So you ate a little? I don't eat-"

Raphael immediately shook his head and cut off his words.

"I purposely gave you a large portion. Relax before I eat, though. I know you only ate the snacks in the closet, right??" He said as he glanced at the small closet near his bed.

Raka let out a rough breath. Then look at him wonder.

"Why are you doing me good? I've already hurt you. Even kicked you out. No need to force yourself. It's okay if you don't like me. I know I was wrong.

I want to live quietly. Nah! Now, I'm sorry for all my bad deeds. I want to live happily. You want to live happily too, right? Better not be friends with me. There are still people out there who are better than me."

Raphael calmly heard all his words. He smiled and nodded. Suddenly silence came. No one speaks anymore.

"Now, it's my turn to speak." Raphael said melting the atmosphere. Raka who was originally daydreaming instantly came to a realization and stared at him intensely.

"I did good to you because you deserve to be treated well. You're not a bad guy. You're just venting anger but.... Wrong way. I was wrong at the time, too. I should have held myself more. I'm sorry.

And....I understand why you kicked me out. You just want calm, right? You want to be alone to improve your mood. Remember that! You're not a bad guy. You're just angry with the situation.

Do not blame yourself constantly. You're not wrong. You are grandfather's happiness." Obviously at length.

After he spoke at length, Raka directly poured tea into his cup.

"You're thirsty, right?" He asked while offering the cup.

"Thank you." He immediately drank it out.

"You got snacks?" Ask again. Raphael nodded.

Raka immediately took out half her snack from the closet. Seeing that, Raphael swallowed his saliva.

"Hasn't the food made him full yet?" His inner.

"Don't daydream! Come on eat. Take what you want. I want to ask you a lot about yourself. But, I'm hungry so, just eat it." He said while opening the jar.

The long-haired boy picked up a small snack. When it was opened, it turned out to be a macaron of various colors. Funny shape.

Raka noticed how to eat. Very different from her. It is quite messy even though it can clean itself. Raphael ate slowly and very neatly.

"Whose name?" Said Raka starting the conversation.

Raphael who was enjoying the macaron, smiled. Then rub his lips with a cloth.

"Ranell." . Raka clucked. .

"Do you have a long name?"

"One day, I'll tell you about my past." He said while enjoying the snack in his hand.

"You look taller than me "

"Oh sure! I'm 2 years older." Raka widened her eyes. Unexpectedly, the person he slapped yesterday, was 2 years older. His heart was slightly pinched.

"Oh... I think his age. Same." Mumbled.

"It looks like you're a kid who likes to play. The rabbit doll you put next to me, is still in my bed. You've seen it, haven't you? Just this time I was holding a soft and fragrant doll. "

Raphael smiled with relief. He thought Raka would throw it away.

"Yes, I love to play. Normally, I play with nanny." He said while showing a pink stuffed rabbit. Apparently, he also brought his small-sized doll and placed it on the side.

"Do you like rabbits?"

Raphael nodded. "The rabbit is my favorite animal because it used to be alone, he was the one who accompanied me." Answer with a smile.

"But someone took it from me and killed him. My little rabbit was thrown by her." The smile faded, his expression turning mellow.

"It's so cruel." Said Raka muttering.

"The man asked me for a piece of bread. In fact, he looks like a person from among the people who are. I didn't give it to him because I was starving. I haven't eaten in 5 days. I also got that bread from a woman who threw it away."

Raka who heard that, immediately felt slapped. All this time, he who felt the most miserable and suffered.

"I slapped him anyway. I feel so evil. I'm sorry." Inner grimaced.

Haaaa.....

Raka breathed heavily. He tried to look calm. "It seems like I have to apologize again. Later that night, I'll just go to his room." His inner.

"Thank you for comforting me. Now, my feelings have improved." Said Raka who was pushing the trolley.

"Either. Thank goodness then."

Then they shut up. Raka is not used to starting talks if she thinks there is no business(?)

They also arrived at the kitchen. Raka went in to give the trolley to the waiter who was on duty in the kitchen while Raphael waited outside.

Raka heard the murmur but, did not rub it. "There will be time." His mind grinned and then he came out.

"See you tonight." Raphael said as he walked towards his room.

"HM. Yeah, see you." Raka walked alone to her room. Raka and Raphael's rooms are not close together. Raka's room is deliberately made near the library because George knows that he likes to read. And not far from the library, there is Raka's private kitchen.

While Raphael's room, close to the hallway to the park. Therefore, Raphael almost every day to the park if he was staying at his grandfather's mansion.

"Looks..... Being with her is not a bad thing. Then, he'll be my second friend." He muttered while smiling faintly.

After that, he was busy with his unfinished book. While he was focusing on reading, he suddenly sprinkled in his mind

"How does it feel to play with a kid my age? He said he likes to play. Will he play with me??"

Then he woke up and continued reading.

Not felt, the afternoon has arrived. Raka who was writing saw the afternoon sunlight highlighting her room. Near the window, there was a small rabbit doll gifted by Raphael.

His eyes looked at the doll and found something on the doll's ribbon. A book that was read by him.

"Cuddle"

Ahahaha! He laughed and hugged the doll. "Welcome to my life Cuddles. You're my first pet." He said with a big smile.

"HM! Fragrant. I'll take care of you if you keep me company." Raka lifted the doll and placed it on her bed.

It's strange! He had never liked dolls. In the past, just seeing it was no longer interested. Now, it's different. I don't know what 'magic' Raphael used to make this special boy start liking dolls.

Tok!

"Master. The dishes are ready." Nicholas said from the outside.

Raka who was tidying up her mattress immediately opened the door and returned to tidy up her mattress. Nicholas noticed his master's gesture a little differently.

Smilingly. Yes, the master is smiling. Whether she should feel strange or grateful, she was confused. Because, Raka is very difficult to smile especially if told.

"Maybe the young master was feeling good after conversing with Mr. Raphael." His inner.

"Hey, Mr. Matthew. Don't daydream." Raka said to disperse her daydream.

Nicholas chuckles. "Kok I can't be aware that I was daydreaming?"

"Oh! If you want to be aware, please visit a psychologist" said Raka lightly.

"Don't you, sir." With a little laugh.

Suddenly, Raka stopped her steps and turned around.

He noticed the face of his servant which he thought was a little different.

"Go back to your room and rest! I can go anywhere I want to be alone." Her speech.

Nicholas looked at him in wonder.

"Easy! Don't pretend. You're sick, aren't you? You're lacking rest. Now ask for medicine, change your clothes and go to sleep. Rest until it's completely healed."

Then Raka immediately walked over quickly leaving her smiling servant.

"Thank you, young master. I can't seem to hide anything from him. I have been acting as usual. But still get caught. My sister doesn't know I'm sick. Hhmmm.... If anyone wants to surprise him, that person must be smarter than my master. He-he-he "

Nicholas spoke to himself with a strange-looking smile.
