The Perfect Wife

Chapter 25. Funeral

The mood of the day was filled with tears. Not tears from Lara, ma'am. Moritz and Greta. Everyone at the funeral was crying too. Mr. Moritz is known as a kind and generous man. All employees who have worked under his leadership feel lost. For everyone, Mr Moritz's death is still a dream.

Alex stood up with an illegible expression. Although it is clear that he was the one who caused Mr. Moritz to die. But there was no guilt on his face. He looks calm and relieved because the only person who is a barrier to his relationship and Fiona is now gone.

After the funeral was over, everyone went home. Lara took advantage of the moment to approach Mr. Moritz's funeral even closer. Since then he did not want to get too close because he knew his in-laws would not like him.

Lara again shed tears while holding a tombstone inscribed with the name of her father-in-law. Head lowered. He is not ready to lose again.

"Pa ...," said Lara. Her sobs made it hard for Lara to speak. Breathing is difficult because the crying is sobbing.

"Mara ... Lara." Lara tried to say a sentence. But, he still wasn't ready. Until finally the woman's cry broke again. He fell on the ground that was still wet. Crying, complaining, venting what he now feels.

"Papa .. don't leave Lara," he said. Anyone who hears will feel sorry and cry. The crying was very sincere. Lara really felt lost.

From inside the car, Greta looked towards the tomb again. Although Lara's position is turned back to the road, but Greta knows that the woman who is now in her father's tomb is Lara. The figure who had not long been his sister-in-law.

"Did he feel lost too? Or is it just acting?" greta murmured in the heart.

***

The night came back. Lara came home after a long day at the funeral. His body looks very dirty. The ground in the cemetery was stuck all over his body and the clothes he was wearing. Lara also hasn't eaten all day to make him feel weak and not energetic. The road alone is not able because the view in front looks rocking.

Upon arrival at the house, Lara sees Alex sitting on the sofa in the living room. That man is not alone. There was a man with a very neat appearance sitting in front of Alex. They seem to be discussing something important. After Lara appeared. Their conversation is held.

"You're back in this house too! Don't you have any shame? You're no longer welcome in this house, Lara!" satire Alex.

Lara just kept quiet. He intends to step into the room. After bathing and tidying up his belongings, he had already decided to leave the house and stay in his old house.

However, when just a few steps. Alex was screaming. The man looked at Lara's face with a stabbing look.

"Ke come!"

Lara glanced at Alex's face briefly before looking down deeply. The woman walked closer to where Alex was without saying a word.

"Sit down" Alex asked. With a haughty face, the man noticed Lara's appearance from toe to head. A disdainful smile was engraved clearly on his face. Alex picks up a document lying on the table before throwing it at Lara.

"Sign," said Alex.

"Is this Brother?"

"Divorce papers," ketus Alex.

Deg. Lara is back. With trembling hands and a sore heart, he tried to take the divorce papers. The man near Alex turned out to be a lawyer. The man gave Lara a pen and told her which parts to sign.

Suddenly something unexpected happened. Lara tore the divorce papers and sprinkled the pieces of paper into the air.

"Sir, Brother! Lara doesn't want a divorce from sister?" ketus Lara's.

Lara's actions infuriate Alex. It was very desirable for the man to draw Lara's face like before. But the lawyer who was there prevented Alex from doing all that.

"How dare you! I don't want to have a wife like you, Lara!" alex shouted until his voice was deafening.

"Lara doesn't want Alex's sister to marry Fiona" Lara replied.

"What right do you have to forbid me from marrying Fiona?" yell Alex again. "You're just a fucking carrier woman. Papa died because of you! Now, what else are you planning? Do you want to make everyone in this house die?"

Lara shook her head. Again tears flowed. The woman turned her body and stepped outside the house. He doesn't want to be mocked by Alex any longer. Without bathing and carrying her belongings, Lara immediately left the house she had lived in for several weeks.

"I'm going back to this house! I'll go back and prove it to everyone. I'm not a fucking carrier. I'm not a disgusting woman" Lara murmured inwardly.

Lara takes a taxi to her old house. The money he had was just enough to pay for a taxi to his old house. Lara did not get into the room and took the money she had.

On arrival in front of the house, Lara smiled again. Not yet entered into, he can already imagine the comfort that is in the house.

"Only in this house can I be myself" Lara murmured. He stepped again to go inside. However, suddenly a very foreign woman in Lara's eyes appeared. The woman put on a confused face when she saw Lara.

"Sorry, who are you? Why are you in my house?"

Lara sculpting. He did not expect that anyone would dare to recognize the heritage house of his parents as his home. Obviously since childhood Lara was raised in that house.

"This is my home" replied Lara.

"Sorry, we just bought this house this morning" she said.

"Bought? But I'm not selling this house" Lara said.

"We bought it from Mr. Alex. All his papers are taken care of. Now this house is already on behalf of my husband."

"Sister Alex? Alex's brother did all this?" lirih Lara's. "Why he got it. What's wrong?" Lara doesn't know what else to do now.

The money left by his parents is also in the Moritz family's main house. Now Lara has nothing but a cell phone and a watch Mr. Moritz gave her. With a sad and disappointed heart, Lara left the house. The woman is now walking aimlessly.

"Mr ... Mama .. help Lara."
