I tried opening my files via `a` which runs

Unfortunately 'a' probably was confused with 'f' as they do

opposite things. Probably the suggestion was intended to
suggest 'f'
instead. Using 'a' replaces the dired buffer with the new file.
That
is the opposite of what you want.
However 'f' does exactly the same as RET bound to
dired-find-file and
so will work the same.
For me both RET and 'f' are bound to dired-find-file and both of
those
stack a new buffer. When I kill the buffer of the file I am
returned
to the previous buffer, including the dired buffer. What you
are
asking for is the behavior I have always seen and currently see.
What version of emacs are you running? Please test the behavior
using
'emacs -q' and 'emacs -Q' and see if the problem persists.
Those
avoid loading your own or any initialization. Quite often
problems
are due to customization. That will test if the problem is in
the
project or in the customization.
