The Soul of the Maya World
Chapter 24
"Fian," Siska said as she saw her youngest sister standing behind her.
"Take them off now!" snapped Fian while pulling Siska's hand violently.
"So now you are more defending this poor man!" snapped Ardi to Fian while stopping his blow to Bejo.
"I defended them because you were wrong, and you Siska never hurt my wife. If you get hurt even if it's a small scratch, I make sure you and your whole family will regret it" Fian threatened while bringing his face closer to Siska.
"Originally you know, this land is not yours so don't feel powerful if you still want to stay here!" shouted Ardi while looking at Fian sharply.
"You want this land, well I'll buy this land. How much do you guys want?" fian asked as he walked towards Bejo who was holding his face.
"You won't be able to buy this land, even if you work until you have children and grandchildren you won't be able to afford" Ardi chuckled with a derogatory laugh.
"I bought 2 billion of this land, how are you willing to give up this land?" bargain Fian while standing up straight.
"No! I will not let go of this land," Ardi snapped as he walked away from Fian's workshop followed by Siska walking behind him.
"If you change your mind just come here, I'll get the money ready!" fian shouted as he watched his two brothers leave.
Fian immediately brought Bejo, and Laras to the hospital accompanied by Mbok Ijah. Fian and Mbok Ijah divide the task to the doctor's room. Fian drove Laras to the obstetrician, while Mbok Ijah drove Bejo to the general practitioner.
"How's my wife's pregnancy, Doc?" fian asked while looking panicked.
"There's no problem sir, it's just that Ms. Baras has a lot of rest" the doctor replied while writing a prescription.
"How long has my pregnancy been for, Doc?" asked Laras while rubbing his flat stomach.
"About 12 weeks, this is a prescription vitamin to redeem, I hope you and Mom can maintain the diet and do not forget to take the vitamin, ma'am," replied the doctor while giving a prescription to Fian.
"Okay Doc, then we say thank you first" Fian said as he stood up from his seat and walked out of the Doctor's room.
In front of the Obstetrician's room, Mbok Ijah and Bejo were already waiting for Fian and Laras. The bruised and blue eyes and mouth were clearly visible on Bejo's face. Fortunately, Bejo did not have any serious injuries on his body.
"How is Bejo's condition?" fian asked when he saw the faces of his loyal employees.
"Alhamdulillah good sir, Bejo only need to rest a few days," explained Mbok Ijah while standing from his seat.
"Where's the recipe for Bejo?" ask Fian to Mbok Ijah.
"This is sir" Mbok Ijah replied while handing over a prescription from the General Physician.
"You guys just here, I want to make up this recipe first. Mbok tipped Laras and Bejo for a moment yes," Fian said as he walked toward the dispensary at the end of the hospital.
Baras looked towards Bejo with guilt. He thought that what happened to Bejo was his fault. While holding back tears Laras began to apologize to her husband's employees.
"Bejo I'm sorry, because of my mistake you have to be battered," said Laras with a head down filled with regret.
"But 'kan ..." has not finished Baras speaking Mbok Ijah immediately stop the speech Laras.
"Already Ma'am, the important thing is Mbak Laras and Bejo are fine. Sister Siska and Mr. Ardi from the past are indeed evil," replied Mbok Ijah while rubbing the shoulders of Laras.
"Later I will tell Mas Fian to let you go back to the village until you recover" said Laras, wiping his tears.
"Thank you Ma'am, but there's no way I'm going home with this condition I'm afraid that my family will be worried" Bejo replied as he turned to Laras.
"Then you rest in the workshop, let Mbok Ijah who takes care of you until healed. Mbok wants to, right?" said Laras while asking Mbok Ijah.
"Yes Ma'am, God willing Mbok will take care of Bejo until he recovers," replied Mbok Ijah with a smile.
Fian who was taking the medicine sat pensively in a waiting chair. He did not expect his two brothers to be anarchist towards others. Even he was confused as to why his family hated Laras so much.
"Why Bang Ardi, and Sister Siska can be anarchist and so much so, and why do they so much hate the presence of Laras," Fian thought as he sat down daydreaming.
After nearly 20 minutes Fian waited for the medicine while daydreaming. Now drugs and vitamins for Laras and Bejo have been given by the pharmacy to him. Fian immediately invited Laras and the others to go home and rest.
"Mbok, please take Bejo to his room, after that Mbok cook so that Bejo and the others can have lunch soon," Fian told Mbok Ijah.
"Well sir," replied Mbok Ijah briefly.
"Bejo you can take off until your condition is really healthy, and I will give you and Mbok Ijah a bonus as a sign of my gratitude" Fian told Bejo and Mbok Ijah.
"Thank you, thank you, sir," replied Mbok Ijah and Bejo simultaneously.
Mbok Ijah and Bejo walked straight to the kitchen. Laras and Fian went straight into their room. Fian helps Laras lie on the bed and sit next to his wife.
"I'm sorry, because I'm late to help you" Fian said, clasping Laras' hand.
"No Mas, it is precisely me who apologizes for my presence that makes your extended family hate you," Laras replied while looking into the eyes of the husband.
"No, I chose you, I lived my life. Until whenever I will stay beside you," said Fian while kissing Laras lips gently.
"May I ask you something?" ask Laras with a face full of fear.
"Byeah, what do you want to ask me," Laras replied as he walked to the wife's side and leaned against Laras' shoulder.
"Why does your family hate me so much Mas, is it because they know that I'm an apostate?" asked Laras who immediately made Fian surprised.
Fian himself actually does not know the reason his family hates Laras. He also did not know where Siska and Ardi knew that Laras had left Islam. Fian began to hug Laras tightly as if he wanted to give his wife peace.
"Prophey dear, I'm sure one day they will accept your presence in the middle of my extended family" Fian said, kissing Laras' hair.
