Just An Illusion

Too many

Inara, who no longer saw Alvaro in her room, let out a long sigh. A brown envelope on the nightstand then invited his attention at that time and made Inara immediately step foot just to head towards the nightstand.

In his absence the thick envelope slowly and immediately made Inara surprised to see a lump of money with a fraction of a hundred thousand, where there is a range of money with a zero of seven.

"Why so much? What should I buy with this much money?" inara said inwardly while looking at the money with a confused look.

Main room

Kikan who just woke up from his sleep, then immediately looked confused at the door of his room when he heard the sound of knocking on the door that kept repeating there. Kikan, who was curious about who knocked on the door of his room, began to rise from his bed and began to step on his feet to see who was outside.

Chequek..

"Inara, what's wrong?" ask Kikan later when he saw the look of Inara's strange face.

"Well, does Alvaro exist?" ask Inara later.

"It looks like he left this morning, I heard he had a field trip today. What's going on, Ra?" kikan said while yawning because he was still sleepy.

Hearing Kikan's words saying that Alvaro had left, of course, made himself immediately sigh in confusion. Somehow he had to return the money because Inara was afraid that Alvaro would give her the wrong envelope.

"It's just that, Mas Alvaro seemed to have given me the wrong envelope. It's too much if only for the next month" Inara said later, showing the envelope.

"Try here let me see!" kikan said later while asking for the envelope.

Hearing this, of course, made Inara give the envelope to Kikan. With a frowning face Kikan began to open the envelope and immediately saw 10 million rupiah worth of cash in it.

"This is indeed your Ra's, Alvaro's mas is just confused about giving you how much so he decided to give you ten million. Is this less? I still have some cash if you want." said Kikan, pointing inward.

Whereas Inara who had heard Kikan would give him an addition of course immediately shook his head loudly, making Kikan frown instantly upon seeing the reaction shown by Inara at this time. Shouldn't Inara be happy if she gets a lot of monthly rations? Why did he refuse?

"Don't this mbak is even too much" Inara said.

After saying this Inara then opened the envelope and took some money and gave the rest to Kikan. Seeing this of course immediately makes Kikan stunned because only this time he saw a female figure who was not too interested in money.

"But that's Ra.." said Kikan wanted to protest but the hunt was cut by Inara, making Kikan no longer able to comment anything when seeing Inara's behavior.

"This is enough, after all you two have provided my needs abundantly here, so I no longer need this mbak." said Inara again with a knot smile, making Kikan could only sigh long as he heard that.

"Yes already I will say it to Alvaro later." said Kikan in the end can only resign.

"Thank you very much" Inara said before finally leaving.

"Emmm... Can you borrow the phone sitting? I want to call my mother" Inara said in a hesitant tone afraid that Kikan would not allow it.

"Of course, Ra, why do you need permission to use it first? Would you like to use my phone to make it easier?" kikan then offered.

"There is no need to mbak, there is also no signal there so I think it will be difficult to contact Mom using a mobile phone. But thank you very much for the offer." said Inara again but this time with a smile that expands on his face and then again put his feet passed away from there.

"Ah deserved that he didn't have a cell phone, but why didn't Alvaro give him a cell phone? Has Alvaro forgotten him?" said Kikan wondering while staring at Inara's departure from there.

Living room

After contacting the village head's office there, Inara was waiting for Banyu to call her mother. It had been a long time that Inara not chatting together with Ratih made her miss the current figure of Ratih. Until then when Inara was waiting for a voice over there, a smile appeared to expand on Inara's face when she heard her mother speak.

"Without?" call Ratih in a hoarse voice.

"Mother I really miss you Mom." said Inara later with a fluffy smile.

"Mother too, how are you there? Did Alvaro treat you well? Is his family good to you?" said Ratih with a glassy eye bead but of course it will not be seen by Inara at this time.

"Yes ma'am, they are all good and even Kikan is so kind and loves me." Inara said with a smile that never ceaselessly faded from the look on her face.

"Who's Kikan?" ratih said then curious.

Inara who heard the name Kikan called by Ratih, of course made Inara immediately realized if he had just slipped and said about Kikan.

"Ah mbak Kikan it... Um... Anu his brother mas Alvaro Bu.." said Inara then tried to find an excuse so that Ratih did not suspect him.

"Ah like that apparently, Mother was really relieved when she heard this. I hope you always get happiness son.." said Ratih then who then made a breath sound clearly blowing from Inara's mouth as soon as he heard it.

"Help Mom, I'll hang up the phone next time I call again" Inara said again before her mother would discuss something else.

"Take good care of yourself, my mother loves you." said Ratih later.

"Yes Ma.. Mother too." said Inara before finally disconnecting her phone.

After the phone connection was cut off, a sigh was heard clearly blowing roughly from Inara's mouth. Today it has even been over a month in Inara living in this house, but somehow Inara still feels foreign and also not tasty. Moreover, against Kikan for accidentally even suddenly present in the middle of the second household hibiscus without anyone inviting him to come.

"I hope you're not too surprised to find out if your daughter becomes a second wife."
