Part 4
A man still faithfully stands before a sweet girl, with a bruised face everywhere and his peculiar grin. While the girl before him looked at him lazy with her hands crossed in front of his chest.
"Please heal my wound"
"why did you come to my house only to ask for a cure?"
"since you're such a nice girl"
"come in quickly"
The girl tended to her wounds with great care
"Aw... can you be a little more swish"
"why? you even fight it out without any pain, anyway why it's important that you follow it?"
"Men go into brawls is natural"
"you fight again, I will not treat you anymore"
"you're serious, you said the same thing before"
"I'm serious this time dafa"
She said angrily, and dafa just laughed at the look on her face of
"oh my god, you're so cute shilla" he said
***
Icha faithfully tended to her brother's wounds, gabriel. Yep, icha and gabriel were siblings, they were only a year away, but their parents put Icha in school early so she could stay with him
"Can you please treat me slowly, icha?"
"let it be, who told you to go to the fight, just a small cut instead of a stab."
"Oh my god, my dear sister talks sometimes scary," icha and gabriel if they see each other at home, they often argue, but it's not often they get to like each other, especially icha.
But in school they're like people who don't know each other
"Icha, can you treat me too?"
oh icha forget if there's alvin between the two of them
"no"
"come on"
"ya, later"
"Ehehehe"
"By the way can I ask you something?"
"What?" asked gabriel. Icha was silent for a few seconds and no sound came out of her mouth
"Icha?"
"Is it true your alyssa was the target of the bet?" icha's question shut out gabriel and alvin. They're covering for raka's mistake. Because it was raka's idea
"Why are you asking me that all of a sudden?"
"No, it's nothing"

"Haish...." Murmured alyssa, upon seeing someone none other than raka standing against the door of his car
With alyssa out of her place of tutoring, raka waved that she was picking up her 'girl'
"no need to wave your hand like that, it's not a show of guts" she said
"Damn you, you don't like me picking you up?"
"No" he answered without seeing raka
"Why'd you pick me up anyway? Who would've told you if I'd taken lessons in this place?"
"People."
"Whatever."
"Alyssa, get in the car"
"Okey okey"
Whether or not raka's mood came back to his senses with come-sounding tones of alyssa's upset in raka's ear. I don't know why, but it makes raka feel good.
"Later to the pharmacy."
"What to do?"
"Buy me some medicine, you didn't see my face all those bruises?"
On the way home there was no talk until alyssa came down to the pharmacy to buy the medicines raka had told me about.
Raka's phone rings, showing dafa's name on her phone screen
"Where are you? Your father seeks you"
"Drugstore"
"What are you doing? With who?"
"You're so loud, with alyssa"
"Huh? A what? How?"
"I'll come to your house after I drop alyssa off"
"Huh?"
"Bye"
The conversation is over now that alyssa is in the car.
Alyssa with the patient treating raka's wounds
"Did you slap yourself in the face, why do you have a bruise on the cheek?" said alyssa, alyssa seriously asking, which she knows if it was a knife or at least a stone, it was also on the temple or on the forehead, but seeing raka's face, raka had bruises on his cheek
"Oh, it's my father's work "said raka casually, alyssa staring at raka
"Your daddy scolded you for your brawl"
Raka smiled askew
"No need to fight if I get violent everyday"
Alyssa fell silent again, still looking at raka, as if waiting for him to resume her conversation
"My dad and I don't get along"
"Always fighting, arguing, and sometimes getting a present like this"
Alyssa remained silent and focused on looking at raka
"No need to be so serious about looking at it."
"You okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Where are you going now?"
"I want to go to dafa's house."
Alyssa nodded in understanding. Okay, alyssa seems to understand and come to her senses. Raka was renowned for his high school delinquency, always picking on him, even when he was called to the guidance room he smiled. He's just taking the fun out, 'cause at home he only gets the loneliness he feels.
***
Raka and ray are at the basket right now. Two, just two, are not playing at the moment, but look like we're talking about something
"You haven't seen alyssa for a week," she said, raka just smiled in response to what he said
"Not a problem for me"
"Or maybe you're starting to get comfortable with her"
"Don't be silly."
"It would be nice if alyssa decided in front of your friends and me for three months."
Hearing that raka raised one eyebrow
"Should?"
"I want to see how she reacts, how she
feels to be humiliated"
"Ray, it's too much."
"I don't care"
"Raka...."
Someone's call greets raka's hearing.
He saw alvin taking his breath
"What's wrong?"
"Your father's here"
"Let it out."
"But with that woman"
Raka's eyes widened as alvin brought news that his father brought the 'girl' to his school.
Raka ran to verify what alvin had said earlier. Alvin and ray went to see raka. Wait? Ray?
"Don't follow me alvin" raka's instructions to alvin
"But... "
"Alvin, please"
Alvin said yes and went somewhere, but unfortunately raka didn't know that ray had been following him.
"Hello raka" said the middle-aged woman to raka
"Where is my daddy?" he asked sarcastically
"Your dad went to the teachers' lounge, you did it again" she said sweetly. The woman walked up to raka to make sure the boy was okay
"Raka are you okay?"
"No need for attention, by the way why is my father coming to school?" he asked still in a cold tone
"He said" her words stopped when she realized that someone was standing a short distance behind raka. The boy slowly approached them
"Good afternoon Mrs"
Ray's voice greets raka's hearing. Raka was a little surprised by ray's presence here.
'shit, why does he follow me' murmured raka in his heart
"Long time no see, how are you?"
He saw her father's 'lover'.
Seeing that woman's agitation, raka thought she had something to hide from him
"Ray?"
Did ray know this woman?
What do you want with her?
