The Warm Home
Season 2 Chapter 20

"How's it going?"

"Very Good, Young Master. All of his organs have improved greatly. The doctor said, Waiting for him to wake up. The wound will heal soon, too."

"Hahah! I really hope he wakes up soon. I was almost made crazy by the arrival of the man in my sleep. I'm ashamed of what this family has done."

"Young master.... I will always help you. Don't surrender. It's all over."

"I Want a Good End. I'm tired of everything. I have many dreams I have not yet achieved."

"Young master... Keep in mind. You can complain but never think of giving up. If you're tired, I'll take your place."

"It's not that easy. Being me is not easy. It looks fun but it's behind it. It's very sad."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Time is running.... It doesn't feel like it's in mid-December. Normally, Vicenzo's extended family would come together. Not infrequently they stay so, room hygiene, food stocks and other needs must be enough. The butler who checked them all. It must be perfect and there must be no defects.

Everyone is busy, not just the waiters. Employers are also busy with their own business. Like Raka and Raphael, they were busy in the kitchen preparing rows of cakes of various sizes and flavors.

"Nich, what's the second cake?"

"Fifth cake, my lord. Haaah! Let me drink a little."

"Raka, which cake should be decorated with strawberries?"

"ah! The ones topping her chocolate."

Raka's kitchen is full of ripe pastries. While the manufacture in the main kitchen because it makes a large amount, so it takes more space.

The waiters who served in the kitchen did not stop back and forth delivering cakes that were ripe to be cooled and decorated. Everything went smoothly according to the direction of the little Lord until finally the servants were startled by Raka's cry.

He fell while walking to the main kitchen but suddenly his legs cramped. The boy had never experienced any cramps so he was very surprised.

"Let me drive him to the room. You guys focus on each other's tasks." Tell the butler.

"What?! Young master cramp?! Who's helping him now?" Nicholas asked in panic as one of the maids told him what he saw earlier while delivering the cake.

"No need to panic. The young master had already taken Sir Arthur to his room." Say the maid while tidying up the cake that has been inlaid. Nicholas breathed a sigh of relief and then continued his work.

"Sorry to trouble you. There is still a lot left unfinished." Said Raka while enduring her pain. ..

"No problem, this is also my job. After all, they already knew what to do. Checking problem, I can still do tomorrow." Calmly follow.

"I want to be alone." Said Raka in a firm tone. The butler came out without saying anything. Arriving in the living room, it turns out that there is a car sound that just entered the courtyard of the mansion.

Big black car followed by a freight car. The male servants went straight out, stuffing the guests. While the female waiter, welcomed the guests who came.

"Welcome, Mr. Edward and Mrs Grace." The servants bowed to greet the guests of his master. George came from above with a look of happiness, it turns out there was a maid who told him that his nephew came with his wife.

Edward was George's nephew who was very close to him. How not? George and his late wife raised him because his parents died in an accident when he was a child.

Edward considered George and his late wife his own parents. Not only that. Edward and his wife Grace are Raphael's adoptive parents. Those who had not had any more children after Grace had miscarried were very pleased with Raphael's presence among them.

"Uncle! Oh, I missed you so much. Have not seen each other for a long time. Sorry, I've been so busy." Edward said as he hugged the middle-aged man. Grace

“It's okay, the important thing is now that you visit. I hope you guys will stay longer.” Grace approached George and greeted him.

"You both look tired. Rest first. Jose will show you your room." George said while paying attention to the look on the couple's face.

"Uncle, we miss Raphael too. Where's she?"

“Iya, uncle. I really want to hug him. We've been separated for months ”

Finally, George invited them to sit on the living room sofa. While waiting for Raphael's arrival, they chatted and enjoyed the dessert served.

"Don't force it, Raka. Already have. Just sit down first. The cakes are soon finished and ready to be displayed in the living room." Raphael calmed his sister who insisted on coming out of the room.

“huuuh. Alright. But I want to change clothes. Last time on the road for a while, it felt very painful.” he lamented.

“kan I told you not to move. When one of our limbs is cramping, we can't move."

”Iya, yes. It's not cramping anymore, but it's still sore."

"Everything, if grandfather says stop, just follow.“ said Raphael who was a little upset.

Raka is quiet but if you are sick, her chatty mode comes out to make the person who accompanies her dizzy how to stop her babbling.

"Here, I'll help you go to the bathroom. I've prepared your clothes ”

A few minutes later,

They both changed their dirty clothes. Now they walk into the kitchen. Raka was silent, shutting her mouth tightly still in her shock. How not?he was yelled at by his brother, told to be quiet.

Raphael who was daily speaking softly, suddenly snapped at him. He was a little bit scared and chose silence.

As I was walking down the stairs, I heard the sound of adults laughing. Raphael ran towards the living room as he memorized the voice of who it was.

"Dad? Mammy? When are you guys coming?" Raphael ran over to the couple. He was moved because he missed them so much that he could feel the affection of parents.

"I guess 30 minutes ago." Grace answered while stroking her hair. .

"We want to surprise you."

Raphael hugged them tightly, channeling the longing he had been harboring all along. Raka looked at the scene before her eyes expressionlessly. But not with his heart.

His heart felt envious, eager to be embraced by parents even though it was not a biological parent. He turned his back and walked alone to the flower garden to take his mind off.

Nicholas looked at his master's girly from earlier. His heart felt sliced, he could feel the sadness of his master. The servant decided to walk slowly behind his master.

He wanted to accompany her so that the boy would not cry anymore like he used to.

"Why are you following me?! Let me alone." Keto. Apparently, he already knew that someone was following him. In fact, Nicholas walked very slowly, without a sound.

"Hmmm... Let me accompany you. I know what's on your mind now. That's normal, I'm also envious even though I've been in parental love before. But, I still want to feel it again and again." Nicholas said as he sat beside her.

Raka was speechless, he was just enjoying the snow that was starting to fall slowly. His eyes closed, shedding tears. Memories of his past with his late grandmother appear again in his mind. His chest tightened, holding back the cries.

"Take it out, young master. While the park is still quiet." Nicholas said, turning his eyes. He was also holding back his tears, still remembering how his warm family, was instantly destroyed by someone who was irresponsible.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

"Dad, mom. Come with me. I want to introduce you to my sister." Raphael pulled Grace's hand while looking at the two. Edward and his wife looked at each other and smiled. They followed Raphael from behind.

They walk to the park and find Raka and Nicholas chatting while making a large igloo house.

“Raka.” Shouted Raphael calling his sister. Raka immediately turned his head and was surprised to see the figure coming.

"Mrs Grace??“ said astonished. Edward watched Raka's face intensely while recalling something. ”similar to who yaaa. I kind of recognized him.“ his inner self.

"Oh my goodness! So, you're Raphael's sister huh. It can be like yaaa. I haven't seen you in a long time. You live here."

Raphael looked at Raka and his mother in turn. Grace chuckles at her face, and she and Raka tell her how she met Mrs Grace.

"Wow! It could be this coincidence.” Said Raphael who was impressed by the story of their meeting.

"Honey, so he's the boy you told me about.“ Edward asked, standing beside his wife. Grace nodded.

They also talk relaxed. The sadness that appeared in Raka's heart instantly disappeared. He welcomed the couple. Suddenly a cat ran up to those who were sitting casually on the thick snow and jumped on Raka's lap.

He was surprised for a moment after he stood hugging the cat.

"Lucy! You're already big. Hey, still remember me? We haven't played in a long time!"

They were astonished to see Raka who was smiling widely because she very rarely smiled like that.

"Mrs Grace, I used to play with her on that little lake. You must know. I often find them hunting flying insects alone. I wondered about him and approached him. At first he was scared but, since we met so often, we became playmates." The story.

Nicholas smiled with relief, seeing that his master had forgotten his grief. Happiness was truly emanating from his face. Actually Raka has an adorable face like a child in general. But, because it rarely smiles and is always flat, then no one knows the anxiety.

Her night....

"Oh! So this is both of you're rooms. Real nice... Whoa! Your doll collection is growing." Grace was amazed to see the contents of the room of two children who were neatly arranged and very clean. They tidied up and cleaned it themselves, even though the maids offered help.

They tell stories about their daily lives, hobbies, and how they got along. The beautiful woman was really moved and delighted to hear that.

"Mom's very happy, you're happy here. Remember that! The compact, yaaa. Don't quarrel. I know you have different traits, so you have to accept each other and understand each other. If there is something that is not liked and makes you uncomfortable, say it carefully. You have to love each other, understand, and accept."

Grace advised the two children sitting in front of her. Grace is a gentle woman. They nodded slowly at the sign of understanding. Then Grace hugged the two with affection. Raka was surprised, she had never felt embraced by a MOTHER.

With all his might, he held back his tears from coming out. Before long, Grace came out and went to her room. Raka who could not stand it, immediately lying on his stomach on his mattress, shed his tears.

Raphael understood his sister's feelings. He let his sister blow it all away. After a few minutes, Raka felt calmer. He turned his body. His eyes stared blankly at the ceiling of the room.

Then walk to the bathroom to wash his hands and face.

"Have you felt better?" Raphael asked who was waiting for his sister. Raka nodded.

"You want a story?" Ask again. Raka gelen's. He really did not open his mouth.

"Well, now sleep, yeah." Raka shakes. He ran out of the room without closing the door. Raphael was surprised to see it. Without thinking much, he immediately ran after her.

Apparently, Raka was on the top floor. Precisely on the rooftop, the boy was sitting, his eyes staring at the beautiful sky. He really enjoyed the snow falling.

In his hand was an object to take pictures.

Czechoslovakia! Czechoslovakia!

Raka took some pictures of the snow falling. Very beautiful and soothing. They really don't care about the cold weather.

Then the boy called out to his older brother who was standing behind him. Raphael shook his head. He refused because he was cold.

Raka immediately gave him the thick jacket he was wearing.

"As the snow is still falling, let's take a picture. I've been raising money to buy this thing for a long time and it's finally in my hands." He said while cleaning the camera lens.

Meow....

Lucy, Mrs Grace's pet cat is there too. The cute animal was already familiar with Raka.

Finally they sat together while hugging Lucy and
