The Soul of the Maya World

Chapter 1

“No! Papa won't approve of your relationship with Fian, he's more deserving of being your Uncle than a husband!" arman snapped to his daughter, Laras.

"But Pa, Laras loves Fian very much, Laras begs for the blessing of the marriage of Laras and Fian," he said, whining.

"Alas, marriage is not only about the love of Nak, but also about the responsibility now you see at the age of almost stepping on the head of four only he only works as a handyman, he just works as a handyman, are you sure she can make you happy," explained the mother as she stroked Laras' hair.

"Rightly what your Mama said, she will not be able to fulfill her duty as a good husband" he said, turning to Laras.

"Why do you have to look at everything from matter, are we not rich, even to eat sometimes there is none" asked Laras to his parents.

"It is precisely because we are poor that Mama and Papa want you to be able to get rich men, so that we can improve the economy of our family" Sophia replied to Laras.

Laras who was angry with his parents immediately walked towards the room. He did not expect his parents could have evil thoughts for Laras' future soul mate. In the living room Arman and Sophia began to look for a way out of the problems of Laras and Fian.

"What we have to do Mas, I'm sure we'll have a hard time keeping Laras away from the old man" Sophia told Arman.

"Tomorrow I will try to meet Fian at his workplace and ask him to stay away from Laras,” replied Arman while sitting next to his wife.

The life of Laras and his family is far from enough. However, Laras's parents wanted to get a rich son-in-law so that later they could change their economy. The next day Arman meets Fian at his workplace, armed with a piece of paper he gets when Fian comes to his house to propose to Laras.

“Excuse me, did Fian today enter work?” arman asked one of Fian's officers.

“Fian, there is a moment I call,” replied the employee while entering the workshop.

“Bos ... anyone looking!” the employee shouted as he saw Fian walking in front of him.

“Bos, what do not-don't .. ah there's no way he's the owner of this workshop,” Inner Arman when he heard the employee call Fian with the boss call.

“Good day Sir,” greet Fian gently.

“Siang, I want to talk to you for a while,” said Arman firmly.

“Oh yes, we better talk while eating at the food stall there sir,” take Fian while pointing towards a food stall.

After ordering some food for them, Arman began to explain his intentions and goals to meet Fian. Actually Fian knew what Arman was going to talk to him. However, Fian tried to remain calm as if he did not know Arman's intentions and goals.

"I want you to stay away from Laras immediately, if you need to get out of your job and get out of this city" Arman said without seeing Fian.

"Indeed why you hate me so much" asked Fian to Arman who seemed to hate him so much.

"You forgot your age is so different, you deserve to be om from Laras not as her husband, and you're just a lowly coolie, so you won't be able to make my daughter happy, either," arman answered while standing up and looking at Fian.

"If I think wealth and age are not the guarantee of happiness. However, it is loyalty and gentle treatment that makes one happy" Fian replied with a smile.

"Ah ... know what you are about love!" snapped Arman to Fian.

Hearing Fian's answer that sounded like lowering him, Arman immediately stepped out of the stall. Fian who saw Arman's demeanor could only shake his head. Not long after the food Fian ordered came.

"Well, how did his father go about his meal" asked a waiter who delivered the food.

"Wrap and love the scavenger, then let me pay," replied Fian while pointing to a scavenger sitting in front of his welding workshop.

"Okay Mas, Mr. was really not self-knowing, but Mas Fian was rich and good but why rejected when he wanted to be a son-in-law. I just want to be Mas Fian's wife if allowed" said a waiter who was very familiar with Fian.

Fian who heard the servant's words only smiled as the servant offered to become Fian's wife. Fian's activities are only in the workshop while supervising all his employees. However, sometimes he also goes to development projects that are being handled, or sometimes has meetings with his working clients.

"Hello, what is Ra," Fian said after picking up a phone call from Laras.

"I am now at the Al-Ikhlas mosque, you can come here as soon as possible" Laras replied in a hurry.

"Yes I was there, but what really happened until you asked me to go there," asked Fian curiously.

"You better come here, I'll explain everything later" Laras replied as he hung up his phone.

Fian who was worried about the condition of Laras immediately rushed to the Al-Ikhlas mosque. After arriving at the mosque Al-Ikhlas Fian was shocked when he saw some people waiting for him including Laras who was then wearing a white shirt complete with hijab with the same color. Laras who saw Fian's arrival immediately smiled as he asked Fian to sit beside him.

"The way we can start sir" Laras told one of the men sitting in front of him.

"Events, what is this event, indeed" asked Fian curiously.

"Our wedding ceremony," Laras replied with a happy smile.

“Our marriage, you are sure of what you are doing, while your parents are not giving us their blessing" Fian told Laras.

"Mas, this is all we can do, I'm sure that once we've legally become Papa's husband and wife and Mama will give her blessing to us" Laras told Fian.

"Are you sure they will approve us" asked Fian as if he was still hesitant with Laras' decision.

"I'm sure, you want to 'Mas, '" asked Laras with a hopeful look.

Fian who heard Laras explanation of the religious marriage he prepared only fell silent. He did not expect that this girl in front of him would be that determined in making a decision. The barrel that saw Fian daydreaming instantly patted her lover's shoulder gently.

"Mas, I'm dreaming!" yell Laras slowly.

"Mas doesn't know Ra, is this the right way for us to be together" Fian replied to Laras.

"You really love me, Mas" asked Laras as he saw the doubt in Fian's eyes.

“Yes Allah what should I do now, is it possible that I should marry this girl even without the blessing of her parents," Fian inwardly stared at the face of the barrel.
