The Warm Home
Season 3 Chapter 6

"uhhuh! Huh!"

Raka suddenly woke up from her sleep with a panicked face. Then he grabbed a glass filled with mineral water but, as his hand trembled, the glass fell and broke apart.

Bruk!

The boy fell out of his bed but, instead of feeling sick, he felt uncomfortable. Negative thoughts are popping up. He was worried about his brother out there. His chest tightened, sweat soaked his face.

"It's my fault! I shouldn't have told him to come out alone. Especially if my sister doesn't have.... Any money?? Uh! Ja. Did it bring money?? What if he's in trouble out there and someone's doing him a bad job??!" He said slightly raising his voice,.

Suddenly the door of his room opened and...

"Where did Raphael go?!" George asked with an angry expression and a very piercing look in his eyes. Raka was silent. His heart was beating very fast, his tongue was instantly stiff. He had expected it, before long everything would be revealed by itself.

He was breathing, trying to calm down. He will tell everything and face the consequences of what he has done.

"Let me change my clothes and eat for a while." He said while holding his trembling body. Not because of the cold, but because of the nightmare he had just experienced.

George sat down and tried to calm down. He did not want to hurt his grandson. Shortly after he sat down, Nicholas came to bring breakfast to Raka.

He was surprised to see the owner of the Mansion in his young master's room.

"No need to clean this room. Come out and don't come back before I say. Understood?!"

Nicholas who looked down, nodded slowly then hurriedly walked out of the room. He ran to find Zack. Zack was in George's room.

"Zack! Do you know why the Great Master was suddenly in the young master's room?" Ask with the hunting breath. Zack scrunched his forehead he didn't know. He only knew his master was out to sit in the garden alone.

"I want to go to the park alone. After tidying up my room, take my breakfast to the park." That's how it says.

"His expression looks angry. Is there a mistake that the young master made until --"

"Nicholas, do your job. Better, you clean the young master's kitchen and check the groceries that will run out. Already in February, certainly a lot to buy." Zack said while keeping busy cleaning.

Nicholas said he came out of George's room with a worried feeling. "May you be okay."

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

"Are you ready to answer?"

Raka who had just finished her breakfast was silent for a moment then cleared her mouth. After that, he walked to the sofa by the window of his room and sat there. Do not forget to close the windows and curtains after that, turn on the sleep lights.

George noticed his strange behavior. His grandson is like a man in hiding. Why close the windows and curtains and turn on the sleeping lights?

"Grandpa knows why I'm in a coma."

George nodded.

"Have you investigated who did it?"

The old man nodded again.

"Still investigated until now. The culprit must be one of those servants. Because that guy knows the ins and outs of this mansion's CCTV."

"This time I asked." Hearing that, Raka clenched her hands.

"Did you see his face?"

With a single breath, his grandson replied.

"Yes, I saw her and I remember her face."

Brak!

George kicked the table.. He was very angry and disappointed.

"Why have you been quiet all this time?! Why not -"

"I have other plans! Don't scold me like you scolded my brother!" He said firmly while looking at his grandfather sharply.

"I promise. One day, I'll tell grandpa. Hold yourself not-"

Sreth!

Not finished talking, suddenly his collar was pulled strong by George whose face was flushed because he could not hold back his anger.

"It's cool you're talking, yeah! How much longer will I have to hold it?! Huh uh?! Now say! Tell me who did it before my eyes!"

Raka was pensive. Think about who is in front of him. Like not his grandfather. Just this time he saw the furious face of his True grandfather!

"Jose. He's the culprit." George let go of his grip but his eyes kept staring intently at his grandson. Rubbing his face, he asked again....

The boy was upset half dead. He felt 'strangled'. He surrendered. Inevitably, he had to tell her everything he had saved. His head was dizzy, his heart also cursed himself why he had to do all by himself when there was his grandfather who would directly help him.

"If you can promise never to get angry again, I'll tell you everything." Raka tried to calm down. George nodded.

"Rest 3 minutes first." George poured the cold tea into his cup, as well as Raka. The two of them were silent and turned their backs on each other. Busy with their own minds.

3 Minutes passed. Finally, Raka felt calmer and ready to tell her everything.

"Do you know M?"

"Yes, the city is famous for its traditional medicines. The people of the city were very skilled to make plants as medicine. That city is so simple just like the City S where you used to live."

Raka nodded with a smile. Then George widened his eyes.

"Don't tell me Raphael's in...There.. City M?!". Raka nodded again. The old man wanted to be angry but, he had promised not to be angry. Finally, he set his breath to calm himself.

"Why did you tell him to go there? Oho! Or you want your brother to find a powerful antidote for... Destroy the Angel's Trumpet poison in your body." Guess it.

"Actually, I wanted to go alone with my brother but..... Time is not possible because my body is getting weaker." .

George rubbed his face rough and shook his head slowly. Really did not think his grandson was too smart.

"Raka.... Haaah! City M, in addition to being famous for its drugs, he is also famous for the case of Abduction and the sale of illegal drugs! There's a lot of kidnapping and theft there! Even the police raised their hands because there are so many criminals there."

George leaned his back then looked at the ceiling of the room, thinking of the lazy Raphael alone out there.

"I gave him money so --"

"Be quiet! Let me think for a second!"

George felt guilty as well for having scolded and punished him until the boy was tormented. He got up from his seat but because his head hurt next door, he sat back down.

"Continue the story, boy!" His impact. His anger could no longer hold.

"I told him to go 7 days if I hadn't woken up, because it was Jose's day off so, brother wouldn't have met Jose the day he left. I gave him money, too."

"Before you tell him to go there, have you investigated the city?"

"Yes, I know from people I trust."

"Who is that guy?!"

Raka was silent, he was confused to answer it or not.

"That's it.... You better sit still in the room. I'm gonna send some guys to do a search-"

"So I'm in a safe place." Said sure. George raised his eyebrows, he could not believe it.

"You mean?"

"There are people I trust to give him a place to stay while he's there."

"THE ONE YOU TRUST?!"

BRUK!

Raka fell to her feet, her face pale looking at her grandfather's dreadful expression. Just this time he saw the real anger of a Mr. George..

"WHO IS THAT GUY? WHO DO YOU TRUST MORE THAN YOUR GRANDFATHER?! ANSWER THAT! DON'T JUST SIT STILL, BOY!"

George's voice echoed in the room until it was heard from the direction of the living room. The servants whispered to each other, asking what was going on. Zack and Nicholas who were in Raka's kitchen also heard it. Nicholas who was about to approach his young master's room was stopped by his brother.

"Zack! Didn't you hear that scream? I'm worried about the young master!" Zack didn't bully him. He locked the kitchen, forbidding his sister from interfering.

"Tell me! What do you want? What are you planning to do to hide all this?!" George asked with his tightly clenched hand. Raka was still sitting inducted with her head lowered. His gaze was blank, his mind drifting everywhere.

"I'm sorry." Lirih.

"I don't want to hear your apology! I just want you to tell me everything you're hiding!" Jerky George.

"I... Just wanted to catch the perpetrator in my own way." Answer by staying down.

"As for Jose, I'll leave it to Zack and the butler. While you! It is better to stay in the room and do not go out if there are no important needs. Reflect on all your mistakes and stupid plans!"

After saying that, George walked to the door and opened it, before leaving he had time to say..

"I hope someday, you can trust me again, and not hide anything." After that, he walked out of his room slowly while holding his head.

"I wish it was like that too but, sorry. Ii'm sorry. I can't say EVERYTHING." Raka said deeply while staring at the door that had not been tightly closed.
