The Soul of the Maya World

Chapter 14

"Continue watching Sister Siska's movements, but remember not to make her suspicious," Fian ordered as he approached Bejo's face.

"Okay boss," Bejo replied very loudly.

"Well you can go out now," Fian ordered as he stood up from his seat and walked towards his room.

After a short conversation with Bejo Fian, he returned to his room to see his wife. Looked the beautiful face of Laras who had been asleep in his sleep. Seeing the wife who was sleeping fast Fian went out and walked to the kitchen.

"Mbok, please make me a cup of coffee" Fian told Mbok Ijah as he sat in a chair in the kitchen.

"Yes sir" replied Mbok Ijah as he began to take a cup inside the dish rack.

"Today's what Mbok cooked," asked Fian who looked lethargic.

"Fried chicken cookery, sambel, same vegetable sir," replied Mbok Ijah while stirring coffee.

"Thank you Mbok" said Fian as Mbok Ijah placed a cup of coffee in front of him.

"Sir Fian wants to eat" asked Mbok Ijah when he was near the employer.

"Just prepare for the barrel later I take it to the room," replied Fian as he lifted the coffee cup.

"Father why does it look lethargic" asked Mbok Ijah who had noticed Fian.

"Either Mbok, why is it that when I get happiness there are problems and tests that I receive," replied Fian while putting back the cup in his hand.

"The problem is Mbak Laras who miscarried, patient sir. Insha Allah not long Mbak Laras will get pregnant again, especially Mbak Laras will be young so still very fertile," replied Mbok Ijah while preparing food requested by Fian.

"Not only that Mbok, my marriage test is also a lot, sometimes I feel tired," replied Fian while rubbing his face that already looks tangled.

"Sorry that Mbok is presumptuous, whose name is life is a place to be tired, where he is tired but we must know how to put that tired and tired, we must know, how to worship the same story of God about our tired and tired. Mbok believes fatigue, fatigue and heavy problems will be overcome," explained Mbok Ijah while turning to Fian who still looks tangled.

"God willing I will remember Mbok Ijah's message, oh yes the food is ready," asked Fian while turning to Mbok Ijah who was preparing food on the tray.

"This food is ready, better now you love Mbak Laras, after that you rest. Mbok believes Mr and Mbak Laras must have been tired for days in the hospital," replied Mbok Ijah while giving a tray containing food to Fian.

"Thank you Mbok for his advice" Fian replied, bringing the tray into the room.

After saying hello Fian entered the room slowly. Fian who entered the room saw Laras who was leaning on the bed while playing his phone. After placing the tray on the dresser Fian then took a small table to put on the bed so that the wife does not need to go down to eat.

"You eat first yes, Mbok Ijah today cook vegetables, same fried chicken," said Fian while putting a tray in front of his wife.

"Thank you, have you eaten?" ask Laras while starting to scoop the vegetables in the bowl.

"Later I'm still not hungry, after all I want to pray dzuhur first" Fian replied with a smile and stood up from his seat.

"Mas" said Laras, holding the husband's hand.

"Well, what's the matter, dear" Fian replied with a smile and sat back down.

"Could ask me for a bribe" Laras said with a smile and handed the spoon to Fian.

"Based on a small child, just want to eat should be bribed," said Fian with a smile and pinch the wife's nose.

Bribe after mouthful Fian did so lovingly. The barrel tried to melt their moods which looked still awkward and frozen. After eating Laras began to hold the hand of the husband in front of him.

"Mas, I'm sorry. I admit I was wrong to judge you, I realized that everyone must have a mass, whether it's good or bad" said Laras, holding the husband's hand and kissing him.

"You don't have to apologize, honey, it's all my fault that if I had been honest from the start, maybe none of this would have happened, but I'd have made sure that I never covered anything from you," fian replied with a smile and kissed Laras on the forehead.

Day after day they went through with happiness and laughter from Fian and Laras. Until one day Laras who was cured intended to visit the house of the sister-in-law without asking permission from the husband.

"Since I was married to Mas Fian I have never been to my sister-in-law's house, it's better today I visit her house" Laras said while wearing his large hijab.

After preparing the hand for his brother-in-law Laras rushed to walk towards Siska's house. From a distance, Siska was talking to Ardi in front of his place of sale. Laras who had just arrived immediately kissed Ardi and Siska's hands. 

"Assalamualaikum" said Laras, kissing the hands of his brother and sister-in-law.

"Waalaikumsalam" answered Ardi and Siska.

"How are you doing, are you healthy?" ask Ardi kindly.

"Alhamdulillah is healthy Bang," replied Laras while a little groggy.

"Keeping the child in the stomach alone can not how to care for the husband," said Siska tightly without looking at Laras.

"Siska!" snapped Ardi to the Brother.

"Yes Bang, what if Fian married again just because he could not give a child" asked Siska to Ardi as if insinuating his sister-in-law.

"What did you bring?" ask Ardi to Laras who began to look teary.

"This Bang there is a bit of cake and fruit for Siska and the children" Laras said, handing over a plastic bag to Siska.

"Well, if this is all I can buy" Siska replied as she threw a plastic bag with Laras into a nearby sewer.

"Why does Siska hate me so much, when I came here with good intentions" asked Laras with teary eyes.

"You want to know why I hate you?" siska replied while standing and leaving her waist.

"Siska has not continued, pity she has just healed and now she is grieving. We should have both comforted him instead of hurting him!" snapped Ardi to the sister.

"I hate you for two things, the first because of your arrival my husband went into prison, and the second because of your presence Fian so canceled married to Wulan, he said, padahl Wulan is a perfect woman she is rich, beautiful and very good unlike you are dirty, poor and foul-hearted," explained Siska to make Laras cry.

"It's a good reason, poor girls like you would do all sorts of things to get rich guys like my sister, including pellets, so it's no wonder Fian could love you dead," siska said as she drew closer to the crying face of Laras.

Without them realizing their conversation had been heard by Fian who had just returned home from the project. Fian who saw the tears of his wife fell directly came to Siska's house with emotion. Fian, who was standing in front of her brother, slapped Siska hard enough to leave a red mark on her cheek.

"Fians!" snapped Ardi who was surprised by what his youngest brother did.

"I knew the sender of the short message was you, and I also knew you and Wulan conspired to destroy my marriage" Fian said, clasping Laras' hand.

"What do you mean," asked Siska as if she did not understand what the sister said.

"You don't understand or pretend you don't understand" Fian replied with a face filled with hatred.

"Fian keep your mouth shut, our parents always teach us to live in harmony, but why do you guys fight just because of an outsider's problem!" snapped Ardi while looking towards Laras and Fian.

"The outsider, the woman you call an outsider is my wife and because of your sister's behavior my son died in the womb, if you want proof I can give you proof of your second brother's rot, " said Fian, staring intently at Ardi.

"Prove that I intend evil to this poor woman!" siska said while shouting.

"Mas no longer need to be extended, let's go home" Laras said, drawing the husband's hand.

"Bejo!" fian shouted as he walked towards his workshop.

"Yes, Mr. Boss," Bejo replied frantically as he ran towards Fian.

"Where was the voice recording," said Fian while asking Bejo's phone.

"You listen to this" said Fian, turning on the recording on Bejo's phone.

Siska who heard his voice started to get scared. He did not expect that Bejo secretly recorded his conversation with Wulan. After listening to the voice recording to all the people there Fian returned the phone to Bejo.

"Happy! Satisfied Big Brother made my future son die and made my marriage almost over, satisfied all of you," cried Fian with anger and annoyance.

After hearing the recording both Ardi and Siska no one spoke. They can only be silent while looking down with a sense of guggul. They understand that his youngest brother is a tempramen man if there are people who interfere with his life.

"And you, never come to this house again" Fian told Laras, dragging his wife's hand.

Fian immediately grasped Laras' hand and pulled him towards the room. What Fian did to Laras did not escape the sight of people who happened to pass by even his employees. When he arrived in the room Fian immediately asked Laras to sit on the bed.

"Now tell me why you were there" said Fian, who was still angry. 

"I just want to be in touch with Sister Siska," Laras replied with a bow and fear.

"Make what! Didn't you know that he hated you so much" Fian said, making Laras even more frightened and finally crying.

"I'm sorry Mas, I just want to get to know your family a little, especially as long as I'm here and married to you I've never known your family" said Laras, sobbing and bowing.

Fian who saw the wife who was so frightened and crying immediately calmed Laras in his arms. Fian began to explain the purpose of what he did was merely to protect Laras and Siska. Because he knew exactly how big his sister was. 

"I'm sorry if I hurt you, I didn't mean to scare you or cry" Fian said, hugging his wife.

"I'm sorry, because I left the house without your permission" Laras replied with a sobbing cry.

"You can go wherever you want, but please don't go to Siska's house, because no matter how good you are to her it won't make her accept you" explained Fian as he continued to hug her.

"What reason can you not free Aldi, pity Sister Siska if Aldi is in prison for too long" said Laras while releasing his husband's embrace.

"No, I won't drop the charges against Aldi, because he already dared to steal in my workshop," Fian replied as he stood up.

"But Mas ..." It's not finished Baras spoke Fian directly put his finger to Laras' lips.

"I hope you never force what has been my decision" Fian said as he looked at Laras with a sharp look.

*** 

Siska who did not accept being humiliated by Fian immediately entered his house leaving Ardi who was still in front of his house. He felt that what he had experienced at this moment was because of Laras. While sitting on the bed Siska continued to cry while sobbing.

"Indeed why Om Adek should shout like that to Mama," asked Siska's first son.

"This is all because of the poor woman" Siska replied, looking vengeful.

"I mean Mama Aunty Laras," asked the curious son.

"Who else would it be if not him" Siska replied as she turned towards the son.

"Indeed what he did that made Om Adek so angry with Mama," asked the curious son.

"He instigated Om mu to hate us, because he wanted to rule over this entire estate of your grandmother and grandfather," Siska replied as if inciting the son.

"Is he that bad?" ask the curious son.

"So now you're accusing Mama of lying!" snarled Siska to her son.

"It's not so Ma, I'm just not sure Aunt Laras is that evil to Mama," explained the son while looking confused.

Siska did not answer what the son said. He only briefly saw the son who was sitting next to him. A vengeful and angry look on Siska's face.

"Then what will you do now" asked the curious son.

"You see what Mama will do to the poor woman" Siska said, wiping her tears and laughing sarcastically.
