The Warm Home
Season 3 Chapter 10

"Dark, Casey. Thank you for being my friend. Ma'am, thank you for cooking delicious food every day for me. I won't forget you all. Sorry if my presence troubles you." Raphael said goodbye to them.

Casey, the beautiful woman looks moody because she does not want Raphael to go home. He considered the boy as his own brother. From a long time ago, he wanted to have a little brother.

"Huhhuu! stay a few more days here. I'm gonna be lonely. Carl's been too busy with his friends." Said crying.

"What?! Oi. Don't make it up! I'm going to work! Not like you're just-"

Yoke! Yoke!

"Easy! You guys keep fighting. No shame in seeing those 'black people?" Zevan said pointing to George's men dressed in all black.

They only look at each other when they are nicknamed black humans.

"Don't be terrible! Like a death angel." Casey said softly.

"Alright, Mr. Raphael. The driver had been waiting for a long time in front of the city gate. We better get home soon." Say one of them.

"In that case, I'll go home. Nye"

"Bye, my little boy! Don't forget us."

Raphael and the others walked further and further away from that simple, warm and cozy home. He will tell his best experience in Kota M to his sister and grandfather.

He hopes.... His return would be welcomed by his grandfather and forgiven his fatal mistake.

"Buck! It's for you!" Suddenly Carl's voice sounded. He turned his body and

Hap!

One of the men who drove him home caught a small box that Carl threw. Then, when he glanced at where Carl was standing, he was gone.

"Save it, Mr. Raphael. It seems, the contents of this box are very valuable. This box is no ordinary box. It's made of expensive wood" said the man, giving him the object Carl threw.

"Yes, the box is very smooth. There is also an interesting carving. What is it?"

"Open when you get to the mansion." Said the man.

They immediately walked towards the gate of M city which was wide open. George's men got into each other's cars. No one knows who they are, because George gave them a simple car like ordinary people.

Their behavior is also unusual so as not to arouse suspicion and not attract the attention of the residents of the city M.

Raphael looked back and smiled. The wonderful moments with the Zevan family will never be forgotten.

"I don't know what to do if there aren't any of them. Thank you for taking care of me and teaching me so many things that are important to my life. I really hope, someday, we'll meet again."

"Please come in." Reverie's scum. He immediately walked to the car that had been provided and went inside.

"Raka.... I came home to bring you interesting stories and valuable experiences. I hope you're okay."

George Mansion

In a large room, there was the sound of a woman filling the room. George, as the host just massaged his forehead. Already dizzy with his grandson's problems, Raka now added to the drama of a fight between Raka and his other grandson, Neil. The first child of Richard and Nancy, the woman who is raving right now.

He did not accept his son being blamed. He said that Raka was the source of the problem. Grace had already clenched both of her hands, holding back the anger she so desperately wanted to let out.

Nicholas and Naura are called to tell the story, only to look at each other and see the angry woman.

"If it proves I am guilty and fabricated, BANISH ME FROM HERE!" Raka said loudly. His face was filled with anger because he was not allowed to say anything.

But, his heart remained calm because Naura and Nicholas knew who was really at fault. And he's not lying.

Hearing that, Grace immediately stood up. He does not accept if the adopted child he loves is blamed.

"This is unfair! Let Raka that -"

"Shut up, Grace!" Richard said with a snarl.

"Mrs Grace, leave it to me and Nicholas." Naura said softly, calming Grace down.

Finally, Naura was told to tell him everything along with Nicholas. Their stories are the same. Neil is guilty. It is he who annoys Naura and Raka first, and it is he who angers Raka until he gets a fist that hurts him.

"But he's guilty too, Dad. He shouldn't have hit Neil. Can be discussed well." Said Richard who already hated Raka a lot. He was too proud to admit that his son was guilty.

"Fruit falls not far from the tree. Ahaha!" Raka said while laughing. Behind him, Naura had already nudged Nicholas' hand, telling him to silence his spicy mouth.

"I don't dare!" Nicholas said in a whisper.

"Ouch! Don't let him say more! You know how horrible those three are."

Raka heard their conversation and looked back.

"Naura. If our self-esteem has been stepped on, we must not be silent. Gotta dare to talk. Especially people like them." His hands pointed towards Richard, Nancy and Neil.

"Nancy's." The woman saw the look on George's already unfriendly face. He turned his face and closed his mouth.

"Please enjoy the tea, Miss Nancy." Said Zack who appeared suddenly before him, giving a cup of tea right in front of his face.

"Pff! Drink, Nancy. And calm yourself. Zack made it special for you." Grace held back her laughter seeing Nancy treated like that.

"Mr George, don't forget to raise my sister's salary."

Criic....

All eyes were on Nicholas including Naura.

"ah! Excuse me. So, how's this? Hehe. Who's wrong, who's right?"

Zack's eyes bulged, looking scary to Nicholas.

"Dad. This is already too much! I don't accept my family being treated with --"

"Nobody wants to be treated badly. Animals also want to be treated well. If you want to be appreciated, respect others. Although the castle is different."

Nicholas smiled, and so did Naura. Just this time he saw firsthand the Mansion Owner. He was amazed by Mr. George who always appreciated anyone regardless of someone's property.

"Neil, apologize to Naura and Raka. I-ka-rang!"

The boy trembled in fear while his parents clenched their hands which still did not accept his son had to apologize to the person whose level was below them.

"Just apologize to Naura. I have to get out because there's something important." Raka turned her body ready to come out. Richard came over to hold him. But, before that happens...

"I smell flowers." Raka

George widened his eyes and stood up.. Grace, Richard, Nancy and Neil were astonished to see those who expressed surprise.

Just as Raka opened the door, someone immediately entered and hugged her. Sure enough, the refreshing fragrance of flowers smelled from him.

"Raka. I'm home. I looked for you in the room, the kitchen, the garden but you weren't there. Said one of the waiters, you're here."

The boy smiled happily, he was finally able to meet his brother again. His condition is very healthy. Raphael looked at Raka's bandaged hand, instantly panicking. He kept urging her to tell stories.

"Calm down, no need to worry." Raka invited her in and while looking through the contents of the room, her eyes were fixed on someone. He's surprised.

"He! He's the one who always bothers me and Naura. Were you also bullied by him to the point of being hurt like this?" Ask worried.

"This wound was there before he met her and.... Yeah, he's bothering me. So I taught him a lesson not to bother people anymore." Answer with a cynical smile.

"Hey, the collector! Don't-"

"You get out of here, Nancy! How dare you call them 'baby'! I've been silent for a long time about your bad habits that always demean others. Oi! Who do you think you are?! If it wasn't for my son falling in love with you until he married you, you wouldn't be able to feel the pleasure of being a Queen! Remember yourself first. Don't let your arrogance take you down and eliminate the luxuries you have now!"

The anger in Richard's heart peaked when he saw his father defending Raka more. He pulled his family out of the room. In his heart, he cursed the boy who messed up his day off.

"Raka, you don't know who you're dealing with yet. I will pay for all your actions!"

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

"Raphelle... Miss you. I'm worried you're out there alone. Don't leave mom again..." Grace cried while hugging her returned child. Although not his biological son, he still loved him and considered him his first child.

"Yes, mom. I'm not leaving mom again. Anyway, I'm just going for a minute, right? Lookie! I'm doing fine. Just... My hair's a little messy because it hasn't been cut." Raphael showed her hair growing longer. He switched the conversation so that Grace would not be sad anymore.

"I'll cut it." Raka said convincingly.

"Can you?" Raka nodded.

"Alright, but after that I'd like to have tea with you two. I haven't talked to you guys in a long time."

"Grace!" Edward came suddenly with a hunting breath. Looking at Richard's car parked in the mansion, he felt uneasy. He knew Richard disliked his wife very much, worried that Grace was being treated badly by him.

"What's up, baby? You look so panicked." Grace rubbed her husband's face.

"He didn't hurt you, did he?"

Grace understood what her husband meant. With a smile, he answered.

"No. Now calm down. Oh yea! Do you smell the flowers?"

Edward was silent, he had already smelled the scent of flowers but, unaware of it, was worried about his wife.

"Yes yes. Did you buy flowers?" Grace shakes.

"Raphael has returned safely." Edward was silent, believing that he had not heard wrong.

"Raphael has returned to the mansion? Did ya??? Where is he now?" His heart was relieved, his son who at that time did not know his whereabouts, had returned.

"Now, she was with Raka in the room. We'll let them talk to each other first."
