TANTRIC

Chapter 32

The white sports SUV car sped up on the highway towards the airport. Tantra increased the speed of the car because he did not want Rania to wait long.

The car was parked not far from the arrival terminal. Tantra rushed down from the car and took quick steps to meet Rania. 

Laura fusses following Tantra. She could not keep up with her husband's quick steps. Laura had to run behind Tantra.

Tantra's steps are so fast. He looks very excited. The afternoon sunlight did not bother him.

The move came to a halt when he saw the short-haired woman with mature brown skin and an extremely sweet smile as if engraved on his lips.

"By!" Tantra spread her arms and ran towards Rania. Tantra grabbed Rania's body. Closely clutched the body of his best friend. Letting go of all the longing and guilt from the last meeting made Rania very disappointed in him. 

Rania returned Tantra's embrace. It doesn't matter if they're at the airport. Ignoring all the eyes that looked at them. Including a pair of eyes that looked at them with a surprised look and implied a little disappointment.

Laura stood there, looking at Tantra's attitude that looked so fond of the figure of an unknown girl Laura.

Who her?

Seeing from Tantra's treatment of the girl, she must have a special place in Tantra's heart. Laura started to feel something strange with her heart. He took a deep breath to loosen his chest.

What's the matter? Why should I breathe in? Just because I saw it? 

Laura was still standing in her place. His presence was as if he was not remembered by Tantra. Being forgotten? Looks like Tantra did forget that she came with Laura. 

"You here, Ra? You came to this town?" Tantra asked with a fluffy smile.

"Yes Tra, I got accepted to work at Hospital M." Answer Rania.

Ahem!

Laura nodded loudly. He deliberately did that to resuscitate Tantra. Laura seemed to remind Tantra that she was with his wife.

Laura succeeded. Tantra's focus began to shift away from Rania. Tantric attitude changed again. It's getting a little awkward.

"Ra, meet! It's Laura." Tantric Vocabulary.

Laura's? Just Laura? Why not, this is my wife? 

Laura protest! Tantra did not acknowledge her identity.

"Oh, is this Miss Laura? Tantric Wife?" Ask Rania kindly. "Include me, I'm Rania." Rania reached out her hand to invite Laura to shake hands.

Laura accepted the handshake and immediately withdrew her hand. He only shakes a short hands with Rania. His eyes immediately turned to Tantra. 

"Your special woman?" Laura asked Tantra.

"Yes! He's my best friend!" Answer Tantra.

Just friends! Why does it look so special?

Laura's daydream stopped at once upon hearing Tantra's words.

"Where do you live, Ra? Just in my place, right? There's Laura, so you don't have to worry." This Tantric greeting was instantly stopped by Laura.

"No one else can get into my apartment! Be it the housekeeper or the guest!" Laura said it out loud to remind the rules made by Tantra herself.

Tantra did not expect Laura to be able to attack using a weapon she made herself. Tantra cannot be cut.

"Then where do you live, Ra?" Ask Tantra.

"I got mess (office house) near that hospital. I'll stay there." Answer Rania.

Again Tantra ignored Laura. He is fond of chatting with Rania and forgetting his wife.

Once in the car, Tantra opened the door for Rania and ignored Laura. Whether intentionally or not, but Tantra's attitude this time made Laura very upset. Even along the way, not a single sentence came out of Laura's mouth. Tantra only focused on talking to Rania. Joking and joking along the way. Tantra did not even hesitate to laugh. Tantra seems to be a different figure. A figure Laura never knew.

All this time Laura only knew Tantra's attitude was always flat on her. Tantra is a kind and caring young man. He is also consistent and responsible. Only to the extent that Laura knew Tantra.

The car has arrived in front of the doctor Mess, where Rania lives. Tantra got out of the car, picked up a suitcase and drove her to Rania's front room. 

"I'm back, isn't it Ra? Let you rest. I'll try if there's free time, I'll see you finish your practice." Tantra.

"Well, Dad, Tra?" Rania asked. "Is your wife not angry? Fear of jealousy."

"Laura won't be angry. No need to worry about him." Tantra said goodbye and returned to the car.

"We're home!" Tantra said to Laura but there was no answer from her wife.

Tantra looked back. He saw his wife just standing still and looking out the car window.

"Wouldn't move ahead?" Ask Laura Tantra.

"Just run the car! Didn't Papa pay you to take care of me? You're not like a bodyguard. Yep! You're just a bodyguard on duty to look after me! Hurry up and make sure I get there safely!" Laura is back in early fashion. Tight, arrogant and careless. 

Tantra did not understand Laura's change. He chose to run his car even though in his heart, he felt angry. Tantra was angry because for the first time Laura seemed to step on her pride. Laura's words were very offensive to Tantra.

As if everything Tantra did was just to get paid. Just to make money!

"None Miss. I'll drive you home safely."

This was the last conversation that took place along the way. There is no communication between the two. As if immersed in each other's thoughts and feelings without caring about the other.

The silence lasted long enough. Even in the apartment, there was no interaction between the two.

Tantra chose to silence Laura. The apartment feels like a cold war. This silence lasted until both of them closed their eyes and began to fall asleep.

*

Until the sun starts saying hello. But the bright sunlight seemed to have no effect on Laura's feelings. His attitude that returned to the early mode of Laura's nature still persisted.

Laura saw Tantra was getting ready with her work clothes on. He stood behind Tantra with his hands folded in front of his chest.

"Remove me! I have to go to Plaza H to meet someone!" Laura said with a lift of her chin.

Tantra exhales. He had to cultivate the patience to face Laura.

"That place is quite far from here. While I have an important meeting with the client in a moment. I'm sorry I couldn't get you there." Tantra spoke softly to Laura.

Tantra tried to give Laura a solution. "You better come with me to the office. I'll have the driver drive you to Plaza H. You can ask him to wait."

"Papa has paid you dearly with all his companies but you have neglected to do the work! You are! Who should have brought me! Because you're paid for it!" Laura said while pointing at Tantra's face.

"But your hands!" Tantra said as she clenched her teeth to contain the anger.

"An errand boy has no right to govern his master!" Laura Sahut.

"LAURA!!!" tantric jolt with high tone.

Laura immediately pulled her bag and left the tantra.
