4 4. Dinner

Tonight, Rita Alona goes back home after two weeks of absence because of project. She saw the home have no change in this two weeks, but a shocking changes was her second sister instead.

She sat down in daze, looked unbelievable at Rira, which is sitting leisurely in front of her at dining table. Not only her, Raymond also stared in shock. Funnily, his reaction was more intense as he blurted out a question that make Rita wanted to roll her eyes.

" Why are you eating here, sis?"

Rita almost not stepping on his feet. What a dumb question!

Rira amused, understand why she received this kind of reaction from both of her siblings. In these two years, her cold war with Alric Alona causing them to never eating together in the same dining table. The previous owner hates her father.

" Nothing. Why, I can't join in?" She asked while drinking the cold juice. Alric Alona put down their food on the table. Rira Alona gets up and went into the kitchen to helped out in serving the food.

" No. It's...good, anyway. Nice to see you here again, sis." Raymond glanced at the happy Alric Alona. Well, their father is happy now. So, it should be good, right?

" Rira, I saw your boyfriend with Erma. Again." This time, Rita suddenly broke the happy atmosphere with the news. Rira looked at her eldest sister with a confusion clearly written over her face.

Boyfriend? What boyfriend? A male friend of her? Rira tilted her head to the side, thinking who that person was. There was no such person in her memory.

" Ah? Boyfriend? You have boyfriend, sis?" Raymond Alona stunned, not noticing a thoughtful looks from Rita Alona. As for Alric Alona, his face turned dark while gritting his teeth in anger. Boyfriend? Which stinking bastard dare to seduce his daughter?!

" Huh? Well, many of them." Rira answered casually. She put another meat into her plate, chewing it deliriously.

" Pufft! Whaa-? How many boyfriends you had?!" Raymond Alona shocked silly at this revelation.

Ktang! Alric's spoon fell into his plate with a loud ring. A despair took over his fragile heart.

" Wait, wait, wait! Rira, do you understand what 'boyfriend' I talked about?" Rita Alona pinched her forehead, sighing inwardly.

" Huh? A male friend." Rira looked at them with an innocent smile plastered on her face. Raymond Alona snatched his drink, gulping down with agitation. Damn! That scares me to death!

Alric Alona let out a relieve breath, ' So it was a false alarm.'

" Well, I'm joking only. I just want to test you." Rita Alona put down the glass.

" Oh..." Rira Alona filled her father's glass with warm water.

" You don't have any lover?" Rita Alona suddenly interested in her second sister's love life. Raymond Alona also perk his ear to get any information from their conversation.

As for Alric Alona, he curb his sad feeling with a bitter smile. His two daughters now at the age of having lovers. Oh, wife. I couldn't let any stinking boys snatched our daughters away. Not now! Alric cries bitterly in his mind.

" Cough! Rita, Rira, Raymond. The three of you still young. Daddy hopes that you can focus on your studies instead of love. You can have many friends, but not lover. Not now, please." Alric Alona sighed. Raymond Alona bit his lips with a guilt. He also have a girlfriend. Rita Alona caught the guilty sight on Raymond's eyes and laughed inwardly. Hu hu, someone have a girlfriend!

" Oh, okay..." Rira Alona readily agreed upon hearing this. She's still at the age where having lovers are a big NO in her father's perspective. She doesn't care anyway.

" Daddy, I'm at my twenties already. So, yes. I have a boyfriend." Rita Alona, in other hand, readily confessed for having a lover. Alric Alona's face turned red while gnashing his teeth.

" Who?" Alric Alona asked, gritting his teeth. He looked like an agitated beast that ready to pounce. 'Which bastard it is?!'

" Oh, you know him. Zean, Uncle Cho's second son." Rita Alona beamed innocently at her father that now fuming with anger. She laughed inwardly. Heh heh...you can't do anything anyway because Uncle Cho is your best friend!

Alric choked at the moment hearing the boy's name. Damn you, Cho! Damn you, Zean. You dare seduced my daughter!! Huh! Good, good, very good! Let see if I'm not teaching that brat a lesson!

Rira Alona looked at the three of them in amusement. All of them had their own thoughts in their minds.

" Anyway, Rira. Do you have any idea what you want to do after finishing your senior year next year?" Rita asked, suddenly diverting their attention away from the lover topics. This time, Alric Alona focus on the topic after pushing all the matter about lovers at the back of his mind.

" Not really. I don't have yet any plan at this moment." Rira Alona shook her head, not tangled over the topic any longer.

" Uh, you should try looking for anything you want to do after this. It will be too late when the time you needs to filled the survey form in your third year later on." Rita Alona frowned. She do hoped that Rira Alona had her own interests or goal.

However, in truth, she had her own selfish desires for Rira Alona to takes over their father business rather than doing her own thing. She couldn't do that as her aims was to become a make-up artist. Since Rira Alona and Alric Alona relationship getting better, their father's attention should focused on Rira Alona instead of her.

Raymond Alona glance at Rita Alona with a thoughtful looks. He knows what his elder sister trying to do, but stay silent about it.

" Oh...Ok." Rira shrugged. Not minding it one bit.
