Chereads / Not a Choice / Chapter 17 - Thank you, Rafandra

Chapter 17 - Thank you, Rafandra

Nadia and Bianca sat in the living room of Lucas' house. The situation at Lucas' house seemed deserted because his parents still hadn't come home from out of town. While living out of town, Lucas lived alone and sometimes asked Mark to accompany him to stay up late or when he had college assignments.

While the two girls sat quietly, and Nadia continued to watch her sister with a look that was still worried and still unable to calm down.

"There's only plain water, sorry..." Lucas came suddenly, then handed him two glasses of water.

Nadia smiled faintly. "It does not matter. .thank you," she said as she grabbed one of the water in the glass that Lucas had just handed to her sister.

Meanwhile, Bianca was still pensive. It seemed he was still shocked by what had just happened. Nadia also tried to calm her sister.

"Ca, are you okay? Is something wrong?" Nadia asked softly.

Bianca shook her head slowly. The girl didn't want to speak. While Lucas was observing Bianca's body, or rather he saw some red marks on Bianca's long neck.

"What do you see?" said Nadia when she realized Lucas was staring at her sister hungry.

"Tsk, you're so fierce," Lucas squeaked and went to his room.

"I'll call Mama and Papa. Don't worry, okay. Everything will be fine. Don't be afraid anymore because I'm here," said Nadia, gently stroking Bianca's long mane.

"N-no. Don't tell Mama and Papa about this," Bianca stopped her as Nadia started looking for contact names on her phone.

Nadia furrowed her brow in confusion. "Why it can not? You have to go to the hospital to check your condition," said Nadia.

Bianca shook her head vigorously. "I'm fine. Don't worry about me. If you tell them about this, you'll be the one to blame for Mom and Dad," Bianca said quietly.

"Bianca worried about me again?" Nadia thought.

Nadia smiled faintly. "Are you sure you're okay? No need to see a doctor?" asked Nadia to make sure.

Bianca nodded. "Yeah, don't worry. I was just surprised, and I'm fine," she replied confidently.

Bianca didn't want to be taken to the hospital to be checked because she felt that she was feeling better and didn't feel any pain in her body. What's more, Bianca is thinking about what will happen to Nadia if her parents find out what happened to her.

Although this is not purely Bianca or Nadia's fault, what is certain is that if Nadia is involved, it is clear that Mama and Papa will blame Nadia. Bianca didn't want that to happen, and in the end, Nadia could only comply with the request of her sister, whom she loved so much.

"Okay. But, if you feel something bad in your body, you should tell me immediately. Got it?" Nadia said with a faint smile.

Bianca nodded again, and the corners of her lips lifted. The girl smiled for the first time since her attitude changed towards Nadia. Nadia is made fun of for not playing.

There was silence for a moment because Nadia and Bianca were both awkward. This was the first time they were sitting side by side again and alone in such a long time. Nadia was very happy to get a little attention and understanding from Bianca, but Bianca seemed normal and nothing special.

Until a few moments later, Rafa came from outside bringing some food and drinks for Nadia and Bianca. The teenage boy was attentive and very worried for both Nadia and Bianca.

What's more, she knows for sure what Dilan and his two friends will do.

"Eat, you must be hungry right. Moreover, you are Bianca, you must be very surprised right?" said Rafa while handing the food wrapper.

Bianca just stared blankly at Rafa who was also looking at her. The girl didn't seem to care at all. While Nadia looked at Bianca with a look of confusion and wonder why Bianca couldn't appreciate the kindness of others at all. At least, Bianca had to say thank you because Rafa had saved her.

Nadia smiled faintly and turned her gaze to Rafa, "Thank you for your help, Rafa. If you don't come, Bianca and I don't know what it will be like anymore," he said.

"It's okay. Don't think about it anymore, you're safe now," said Rafa quickly.

Nadia nodded and still smiled faintly.

"Can I just sleep here?" Bianca interrupted their conversation.

"But, Mom and Dad--"

"They're out of the country for a week, this afternoon Mama texted me," Bianca cut in before Nadia finished her sentence.

Lucas poked his head out of the room. "Anyone wants to stay here?" he asked in an innocent tone.

Bianca nodded. "I'll be staying here for the night," she answered enthusiastically.

"Me too!" said Nadia.

"And me too!" said Rafa too.

"You too?!" said Nadia, Bianca, and Lucas at the same time.

Rafa nodded vigorously. "Yes, why?" he asked with a straight face not understanding the meaning of the three people.

"You think my house is an inn or something? Why are you also staying overnight?" Lucas snapped.

"Hey! Do you think I can let a pervert like you be with two girls on a night like this alone? Tsk, don't try to take a chance," Rafa squeaked, rolling his eyes lazily.

"Wow... You are. Can't you think a little positively about me? Why is your life always suspicious of me huh?" Lucas debated feeling accused by Rafa.

"That's the truth!" sarcasm Rafa who still won't budge.

Nadia and Bianca sighed heavily. Nadia and Bianca didn't understand at all what the two teenage boys were doing. Rafa and Lucas are really like children who fight over a toy.

"I'm not staying here," Bianca finally said because she was getting fed up with Rafa and Lucas arguing.

"Me too. We'd better go home," added Nadia.

"Yeah, that's better. You don't stay here if you're not with me," said Rafa passionately.

"Okay, shall we go home now? Can you walk or not?" Nadia asked Bianca.

"Let me carry..." was Lucas who interrupted.

Lucas immediately approached Bianca and took steps to carry her. but Bianca had already cast her sharp eyes on the handsome young man.

"Stop. I can walk on my own," Bianca said in a cold tone which immediately made Lucas's guts shrink instantly.

Lucas, who was in front of Bianca, took a few steps back. .he'd better stay away from Bianca than get into more trouble later. Believe me, Bianca who acts cold looks more sinister than someone angry uncontrollably.

"Why are you scarier than your brother," Lucas grumbled.

Nadia chuckled at the sight of Lucas who shuddered at Bianca. Then the girl stood up to help Bianca to walk. Both thanked Lucas for being allowed to rest for a while at his house.

"I'll take you home okay?" bargained Rafa.

Nadia just smiled and nodded. There is no reason to refuse because of course, they need the help of others so they don't have to worry about going home alone.

"Yeee the lizard, it's just the same for people looking for opportunities," Lucas sneered.

"Shut up. Tell Kak Mark I will take them first," said Rafa.

"Tsk, Okay. That's right there. Be careful," Lucas said reluctantly.

"Yeah. You're so talkative!" Rafa said goodbye and disappeared from behind Lucas' door.

After the three high school teenagers left, Lucas immediately closed the door of his house because it was very quiet. Lucas was a little relieved that they were all fine.
