That Other Woman... I

That Other Woman... I
THE WLIA 17



Laras continued to cry as Hendro was driving a pick-up that took his father quickly.


"Dad, I'm up. Dad!" the tears of Indra broke.


But Indriyani has since embraced the hands of her husband who already feels cold. She kissed her husband's forehead and cried.


Laras who saw his mother's attitude was astonished, he did not understand why it was as if his mother was kissing his father's forehead as a sign of farewell for the last time. Barrel then put his head with a slanted position on the chest of the father.


"Oh my God, please don't..no!" lirih Laras with tears getting louder.


"Sister why? why father brother?" ask Indra who does not understand and is afraid.


"Your father is no son!" indriyani replied with tears flowing.


Indra shook her head quickly.


"Son, I said tomorrow I'm going to transfer Indra to High School. Dad...dad!" screamed Indra hysterically.


Hearing Indra's cry, Hendro stopped the pace of his vehicle. He went straight down and checked Sharifuddin's pulse. Hendro had even been limp and immediately sat on the ground.


"Sarifuddin!" lirih Hendro who also felt very lost for the departure of Syarifuddin who was so good to him and his family.


Everyone was crying, including Hendro. The good man who had always helped her was gone. Laras was not even making a sound, he was crying without a voice, his heart was so lost, but the guilt, and regret so deep that he clasped his father's hand tightly.


'Forgive Dad, all this is because of Laras. Pardon..!' lirih Laras in his heart.

At the funeral, when all the people who drove him home. And there lived the barrel, his mother, Indra and Hendro who were there. Laras hugged his father's belly button and cried sobbing.


"I'm sorry Father, sorry!" lirih Laras who still continues to regret what he did. He should not have believed in Abhimanyu.


If he told his father and mother everything would never end like this.


Indriyani who was sincere in what happened to her husband embraced Laras.


"Son, it's yes. Your father will no longer feel pain, let him rest in peace, son!" said Indri who tried to calm Laras. Though his own heart was so broken because of the departure of the husband who had been with him in joy and sorrow for more than 25 years.


Hendro also won Indra who had also continued to cry and was reluctant to leave the tomb.

After returning from the tomb, Laras saw that his house was crowded. It turns out those people are fighting.


"So come in, don't listen to these mothers!" exclaim Wulan.


"What do you want your husband to be tempted by this actor?" ask one of the mothers who wore a bracelet up near his elbow.


"Yes, he has already lost the rich Abhimanyu, he will definitely find a new target...!"


'Astagfireullah!' lirih Laras in his heart.


"These mothers were horrified, Laras did not know that Abhimanyu already had a wife?" tanya Tari who keeps trying to defend Laras.


"Here, alesan. You guys are also why he keeps fighting, the factory is on fire, his father is dead. All of this must be the karma of his evil deeds has taken away people's husbands!" one of the other women again.


Baras' heart felt very painful hearing what one of his neighbors said.


Laras fell silent, then he came forward and spoke to the mothers who wanted to drive him away from this village.


"I'm leaving this village! Please go! and don't fight anymore!" laras said, then took his mother into the house.


Hendro, Wulan and Tari followed Laras in.


"What did you say? you're not wrong, these mothers are...!"


"Wulan, Laras's right. You better get out of here. Son Hendro, I gave this house to Hendro's son, and all the rice fields that Hendro wanted to take care of all for Hendro, Wulan and Dance!" said Indriyani who had really could not stand the situation that cornered Laras.


Indriyani had seen some people he did not know even though he had been 25 years more living in this village was in the crowd of people who tried to evict Laras. Indriyani realized that all of that must be the woman who claimed to be Abhimanyu's in-law. Indriyani knew that even if they survived today, tomorrow they would definitely come again and make another fuss. Indriyani was very worried about Laras who was in a state of turmoil and also Indra money was so sad. Although she is no less destroyed, but as a mother, she must remain strong and become a place to lean for Laras and Indra.


Indriyani gave all her property to Hendro, Wulan and also Tari who had always helped Laras before Laras married Abhimanyu.


Indriyani never told anyone, but she still has a home in her hometown. He left the house and left it to his best friend. Indriyani also left his home and all his efforts in his hometown to live with Syarifuddin in this city.


Laras who was very upset also did not ask anything to his mother where they would go after this.


"Then Bu Indri and Laras also Indra...?" ask Hendro to worry.


"God will be with us, we will definitely be fine!" indriyani smiled softly.


Wulan and Dance cried hugging Laras. Laras just kept quiet, he still lost his father terribly. What he could not accept anymore was that Abhimanyu had lied to him, and that made him hate Abhimanyu so much.


In the evening, Laras, his mother and Indra were escorted by Hendro to the station. Wulan also came.


"I'm sorry we're Baras, we can't help you at a time like this!" said Wulan was so sorry for not being able to help Laras.


"You take good care of yourself!" laras.


"Then if Abhimanyu is looking for you, what should you say?" tanya Tari who immediately made the look of Laras face turned into very emotional.


Barrel clenched his hand strong.


"That's impossible.but if he comes then just say I'm dead!" said Laras with reddened eyes.


Indriyani then embraced Laras. Wulan also directly hugged Laras. He knew that Laras was very hurt to Abhimanyu, the man had lied to him and also made his father-in-law come to Laras to make Syarifuddin die. Wulan could understand what was being felt by Laras, suddenly Wulan also hated the man named Abhimanyu Mahendra.


Laras, Indra and her mother were already in the car.


"Mom, where are we going?" ask Indra.


"We'll go far, so far away that no one will find us!" indriyani said with teary eyes.


"Then dad?" indra asked with the same currency as her mother, glazed over and almost cried.


"Wherever we are, our prayers will come to you!" indriyani said she hugged Indra and her tears flowed back.
