TANTRIC

Chapter 39

Even in the apartment Tantra still did not let go Laura. He carried his wife's body from the front lobby to the room.

Tantra put Laura's body on the bed. "I'll prepare warm water." Tantra passed away to go to the bathroom. He prepared all the bathing needs of his wife. After that Tantra came out and asked Laura to clean up.

"Clean your body first. Your clothes are wet with rain. I don't want you to get a fever from a cold." Tantra helped Laura stand up by lifting her neck and propping it up using her arms.

Tantra led Laura into the bathroom. "The door is not locked! Just shut it down! I'll wait for you in front of the bathroom."

Not without reason Tantra forbade Laura to lock her door. Tantra worries if Laura darkens her mind and acts recklessly. Tantra was really worried about Laura's condition. Several times Tantra called Laura from outside the bathroom to make sure that his wife was still conscious.

After almost half an hour Laura was in the bathroom, the girl finally came out to bed. Laura sat down.

Tantra sat next to him. Started massaging his wife's legs. Patiently and without a voice. Tantra just wants to ease his wife's grief. 

Tantra was very understanding of Laura's feelings because she had also felt this before. He was betrayed by first love. The pain of a heart that has been deprived of his dreams and hopes.

"I went to Stella's house." Laura started talking. "But he's not in his apartment. I called him but still no answer. Then I went to Mike's apartment. I meant to wait for him there. But, but I did." Laura sobbed back. All the words felt stuck in my throat.

"This pain turned out! This pain is considered a money-making machine!" There was a tone of regret in Laura's words this time.

"I'm sorry.I'm sorry for the spell." Laura sincerely apologized. He regretted that he once called Tantra a money-making machine.

"Rest! Sleep will make you calmer. I have to go back to see Papa." Tantra got out of bed. He made sure to Laura again. "Laura, I can trust you right? I'm just for a second. I'll be back soon!" Tantra just wanted to make sure Laura would not do reckless.

Tantra left in a hurry. He was about to meet the Great Master, finish his business and return to Laura.

Cooperation meeting is over. The great lord had also returned to his residence. Tantra headed straight for the master's study room in his house.

Without further ado, he delivered Laura's news. But the Great Lord's response was beyond the expectations of Tantra.

"The boy finally knew his mistake!" Reply Mr. Ardikusuma.

"I mean Papa?" Tantric asked.

"Laura chose the wrong partner. I warned him a long time ago but he never obeyed. Just keep defending and glorifying that useless young man." Said Mr. Ardikusuma.

"But, don't you want Papa to do something? Maybe like teaching Mike a lesson?" Tantra tried to give input.

He as a husband without love alone feels not accepted for Mike's treatment of Laura. Why Mr. Ardikusuma as Laura's biological father actually looks calm.

"Go home! Friends daughter! I'll take care of the young man." Reply Mr. Ardikusuma.

Actually, Mr. Ardikusuma wanted to get rid of Mike from Laura's life. But he couldn't because his daughter was so crazy about Mike. This time it is an opportunity for Mr. Ardikusuma to force Mike back to his country and leave Laura.

Mr. Ardikusuma is very grateful because Tantra is able to carry out its duties well. Old Ardikusuma can feel calm because Laura is in the right hands. Being in the protection of a responsible person even though that person cannot love him yet.

The meeting of Mr. Ardikusuma and Tantra this time was very short. They did not even have time to discuss the issue of business investment cooperation contracts. The main topic of their conversation was Laura.

Tantra rushed back to her apartment. Once there, Tantra immediately searched for Laura's whereabouts.

He stared at his wife's face that was still wet with tears. Tantra approaching. Caressing the cheeks blushed to remove those tear marks. Tantric hands were clinging to Laura's face. He could feel that Laura's body was now feverish.

With Tantra attitude take washcloth and warm water in the basin. Tantra began compressing Laura, putting the washcloth on her forehead until it almost covered her eyes.

Tantra faithfully accompanied Laura. He did not move from Laura's side until his wife's fever went down. Patiently Tantra changed the washcloth and squeezed it. Waiting for her while looking fixedly at Laura's face.

Several times Laura was delirious even crying in her sleep. I don't know what was in Laura's dream. When she opened her eyes slightly, Laura could see Tantra's face before her.

"Mantraaa, Mantraa.." Laura was delirious for a while and fell asleep again.

Tantra patiently waited until she fell asleep next to Laura in a sitting position.

Before morning came, Tantra had woken up and took a compress on Laura's forehead.

Thank God the fever has gone down.

Tantra went to the kitchen. He wants to prepare food for his wife. Tantra wants to make porridge, but she doesn't know how to make porridge. 

Tantra took the initiative to contact Mother to teach her to make porridge. After a very long conversation with the mother, finally the porridge so well. Tantra put it in the bowl and took it to the room.

Just opening the room door, Tantra saw his wife was already sitting leaning on the bed.

"Good morning Laura." Sapa Tantra is like a 5-star restaurant waitress.

"This is your breakfast. Special breakfasts. Made by me! Handsome chef in this apartment." Tantra tried to comfort Laura. But his efforts felt useless because Laura just looked at him without the slightest smile that appeared on her lips.

Tantra sat down beside Laura. Lifted the bowl and started scooping the porridge.

"Just calm down, this porridge is a recipe from mom. Guaranteed delicious!" Tantra stuck out the spoon right in Laura's mouth. "Open his mouth, dong! Come aaaa…"

Laura obedient. He opened his mouth slightly and started eating the porridge.

"Enak right? Surely delicious! Chef's cuisine is gorgeous in this apartment!" Tantra with pride.

Laura clucking. Tantra's ridiculous manner was able to comfort her. "It's congee? I thought it was soup. So liquid? Just this time I ate liquid porridge!"

"Hi! After all, insulting! You've slept there again!" Tantra is in a crashing mode.

Tantra was about to move but her arm was held back by Laura's hand. Laura pulled him in as a gesture that she wanted Tantra to sit down and accompany him.

"Let's…." Laura opened her mouth, indicating that she asked to be fed again with Tantra.

Tantra's efforts succeeded. Laura was amused. They started to joke. The second interaction persists until the pulp in the bowl is exhausted.

Tantra wanted to put the bowl in the kitchen and wash it. But her movements were stifled because Laura suddenly asked.

"Did stella ever tease you?"
