The Soul of the Maya World
Chapter 28
"If my arrival bothers you I'd better get out of here" Arman said as he stood up from his seat.
"Oh no sir, I happen to be wanting today in the workshop all day, please sit down," replied Fian as he invited Arman back to sit.
"Thank you," replied Arman as he sat back in his chair.
"Sorry if I may know what your purpose is to meet me?" fian asked as he sat before his father-in-law.
"I mean here, to say thank you for the car and the money you gave my family," replied Arman with slight hesitation.
Arman does have a selfish nature and high prestige. He has the principle of not wanting to be humiliated and humiliated by others because of his poverty. That's what makes Arman often hates people around him even to his own daughter-in-law.
"Together Sir, I happen to have a little windfall so I can give a little gift to Father and Mother, sorry in advance if I can ask something to the Father," fian asked with a little uneasy and groggy in him.
"What, please," replied Arman with a bit of a stiff.
"Are you not busy, sorry I do not mean to insult you, I just want to offer you a job as a supervisor in a new project that I am currently handling, are you willing?" fian asked Arman fearfully if his in-laws were offended by his question.
"Why do you give it to me, haven't you been to your own projects all this time?" asked Arman curiously.
"Laras is currently pregnant, and now she is in a phase of severe vomiting so there is no way I can leave Laras in a weak condition" Fian explained while playing a ballpoint pen in her hand.
"What! Laras pregnant?" arman asked in surprise.
Hearing the pregnancy of the princess Arman immediately smiled happily. Arman loved Laras very much. Not only because he was an only child, but also because he understood what was done to Laras all this time was wrong. Because he was too concerned with work and world life, he forgot how to educate the princess to make her an apostate woman.
"Can I meet my daughter?" arman asked Fian who was silent to see the in-laws.
"May sir, let me take you to the room" Fian asked Arman kindly.
They finally walked to the room. Look Laras who is sleeping on his bed while rubbing his stomach gently. With tears in his eyes Arman began to approach the princess who looked limp.
"Assalamualaikum" said Fian and Arman simultaneously.
"Waalaikumsalam, Papa," Laras replied with surprise when he saw that Arman was already in his room.
"You're why, honey, are you sick" asked Arman as he gently stroked Laras' head.
"No Pa, Mas Fian's healthy barrel also treated Laras very well," Laras replied with fear as he glanced at the husband.
"Papa knows Nak, forgive Papa for misjudging Fian all this time" replied Arman as he clasped the princess' hand.
While shedding tears Laras immediately hugged the father. He did not expect that behind the hardness of Arman's heart still kept a soft side to him. Fian who had been standing up while looking at Laras and Arman could only smile.
"Alhamdulillah, most holy of you, O God, now my relationship and my in-laws can be better than yesterday" Fian said with a smile.
"Fian, is the offer as a supervisor on the project still valid?" asked Arman while releasing Laras' embrace.
"Yes sir," Fian replied with a slight surprise.
"Project supervisor, you mean Papa?" asked Laras curiously.
"Fian asked Dad to be the supervisor on the project, because he wanted to keep you on as long as you were pregnant" Arman explained with a smile to Laras.
"Dear, your pregnancy is now a little problematic especially with the vomiting and weakness that always happens to make me a little worried, so I asked Papa to replace me in the project until you give birth," fian replied as he walked closer to Laras who was sitting on the bed.
Pregnancy Barrel who has entered the age of 4 months does make it a little weak. Even almost all day he felt nausea and vomiting very intense. So that makes Laras look pale and limp.
"Then you rest first, because Papa wants to go home" Arman said as he extended his hand to Laras.
"Yes Pa, greetings to Mama" Laras said, kissing Arman's hand.
"Fian I say goodbye first, god willing tomorrow I come here again" Arman said as he stood up from his seat.
"Okay sir, tomorrow I'll start introducing you to all the workers on the project, let me take you in front of you, sir," fian said as he turned towards Arman who was already standing by the bed.
"There's no need, you just accompany Laras it seems like he really needs you next to him" replied Arman as he extended his hand to Fian.
"Well then, you be careful on the road and send greetings to Ms. Sophia, said Fian as she shook Arman's hand and kissed him.
Seeing the familiarity of Fian and Arman, Laras was so very happy. With a smile he rubbed his stomach which had begun to look filled. He hopes what he sees today will be a good start to his life with Fian.
"Darling, why are you smiling to yourself?" fian asked while holding his wife's hand.
"Ah what is it?" ask Laras who began to wake up from his daydream.
"Why are you daydreaming and smiling to yourself like that?" fian asked with a smile looking at Laras's behavior.
"I'm just happy to see you and Papa can unite and look familiar like before, hopefully this is the beginning of our happiness, Mas" said Laras with a smile and grasping Fian's hand.
"Amin, it's 1 pm I want to pray dzuhur first, do you also want to pray in congregation," asked Fian while standing up.
"You, but my body is not yet strong enough to stand up" Laras replied with a sad face.
"Honey, Islam has never burdened its people in worship, if you are not able to stand you can pray by sitting, or by lying down like now," replied Fian while rubbing Laras hair and smiling.
"Yes I want Mas, but help me to take water wudhu yes," said Laras as he reached out his hand.
Fian rubbed the barrel into the bathroom slowly. After ablution Fian immediately helped his wife sit on the bed while leaning. After finishing the prayer Fian immediately walked towards the kitchen for lunch.
"Mbok please prepare food for me," Fian ordered while sitting on a chair.
"Well sir, oh yes sir he said tomorrow all employees including me are closed one week huh?" mbok Ijah asked as he began serving lunch to his employer.
"Yes Mbok, I hope everyone can enjoy the money with the whole big family" Fian replied as he started drinking the water in the glass.
"If I don't go home how sir, is it allowed," asked Mbok Ijah while putting a vegetable on the table.
"Why Mbok didn't come home, and still wants to keep working," asked Fian curiously.
"I plan to take a 3-day holiday, but Mr. Fian is hunting for his holiday now, so my plan for the holiday now is not taken and I will take it one week later," obviously Mbok Ijah while continuing to be busy with his duties.
"What's going on until Mbok takes his two weeks off?" fian asked as he started scooping the rice.
"My grandson circumcised sir, so I could get a bonus of 10 million from Mr. Fian Mbok to make a study at home," explained Mbok Ijah who was almost finished preparing food for Fian.
"So that Mbok, oh yes please prepare lunch for Laras let me take it to the room later," Fian ordered Mbok Ijah while starting to put rice in his mouth.
After lunch and enjoy a cigarette in his hand. Fian rushed back to his room to deliver lunch to Laras. However, before he walked to his room he advised Mbok Ijah to look for a replacement as long as he returned home.
"Before going home please find someone to replace Mbok Ijah temporarily, the important thing is that he is good at cooking like Mbok," Fian said as he lifted the tray in front of him.
"Okay sir, God willing I will find a substitute who is trustworthy and smart to cook," replied Mbok Ijah with a smile.

"Assalamualaikum," said Fian as he opened the door of his room.
"Waalaikumsalam Mas" replied Laras who was sitting on the bed.
"You eat first yes, today I ask Mbok Ijah to cook your favorite food," said Fian as he began scooping food and given to his wife.
Bribe after mouthful in give Fian gently. The barrel that is usually difficult to eat is now more able to accept the rice that goes into his mouth even though it is still with a small portion. After feeding the wife and giving the vitamins given by the doctor, Fian immediately went to his study.
"You take a break, I want to return this plate to the kitchen and go straight back to my work space" Fian said, wiping his lips wet with drinking water.
"Mas, can't you accompany me here" Laras said with a slight whine.
"Yes I will accompany you in this room for a full day, whatever I will give to my wife and my dear child," said Fian while sleeping next to Laras with a position hugging Laras from behind.
"Mas, what if our daughter's a girl?" ask Barrel suddenly.
"No problem, want a man or a woman for me is not the most important thing he is healthy and hopefully later he can become a hafidz qur'an and can practice what is taught by religion well," fian replied as he continued to hug Laras tightly.
"Ouch!" shouted Laras suddenly while holding his stomach.
"Why do you, honey, is it because I hugged you too hard?" fian asked frantically and confusedly.
