The Soul of the Maya World

Chapter 38

After picking up Shafira from Laras' parents' house and sending them to the workshop. Fian immediately packed some clothes and put them in a suitcase bag. He immediately walked towards his study and called the bejo who was currently busy with some of his work.

"Can I help you sir?" bejo asked as he stood before Fian.

"I'll be gone for a while please take care of the workshop and my family" Fian ordered as he looked at his picture with Laras and Shafira.

"If I can tell where Mr. Fian is going, what this has to do with work" asked Bejo curiously.

"Come on, I don't know where I'm going. All of this happened because of a mistake I made," he replied while holding back his tears.

"Assalammualaikum" said Laras who suddenly entered by holding Shafira.

"Waalaikumsalam," Bejo and Fian answered simultaneously.

"Can you please take me to my parents' house?" asked Laras without seeing the husband in the room.

"Where are you going, honey?" fian asked as he stood up from his seat and walked closer to Laras.

"Bejo why don't you answer my question, if you can send me home now," Laras again asked Bejo the same thing.

Bejo who was in the room just fell silent until suddenly Fian pulled Shafira from Laras sling and asked Bejo to give Shafira to Mbok Ijah. In confusion, Bejo holds Shafira and takes her to the kitchen. Fian immediately pulled his wife's hand and pulled her into the room.

"Why didn't you answer my question?" fian asked as they were already in the room.

"Don't you hear that I'm going home to my parents" Laras replied in an annoyed tone without turning to her husband.

"Why? Is it because I'm leaving" asked Fian as he stood before Laras.

Baras did not answer Fian's question at all. He immediately stood up and walked away from the man who had accompanied him all this time. What Ratna and Fian do is make the heart and love of Laras disappear without the rest there is only annoyance, anger and disgust.

"Why don't you want to look at me, is it just a small mistake that you're so mad at me that you don't want to apologize to me?" fian asked while snapping at Laras and pulled his hand to look at Fian's face.

"Little mistake, what is infidelity to adultery and produce seeds in the fetus you say a small mistake, now explain to me what my dear all this time," Laras replied while looking at Fian.

"How many times have I explained to you that I was trapped by that whore, I went to see her because I didn't want to divulge the secret that night to you" Fian told Laras, pleading.

"And now that mistake has become a seed in the womb of a woman whom you consider a prostitute, marry her and divorce me" Laras replied firmly as he walked towards the door of the room.

"No! I'm not going to divorce you, I beg you to give me a chance to fix everything let me keep you company. I beg you to forgive me, dear" said Fian, pleading and kneeling at Laras' feet.

"Today I told you to do your duty as a man, and I also said that I sincerely received honey from you but did not want to be a hypocritical woman, because honestly I can't swallow that bitter honey. Stay in this house so I can go home to my parents" Laras replied as he walked out of the room.

Laras rushes to the kitchen to retrieve Shafira from Mbok Ijah. Fian, who was really guilty at the time, continued to try to pursue and persuade Laras not to leave. Fian really did not care about the many people that were in that workshop.

*** 

The farewell of Laras and Fian left many people who loved them hurt. Including Mbok Ijah and Bejo. However, not with Siska he was actually happy over the decision of the sister-in-law to leave Fian.

For almost 6 months, Laras lived with his parents. Many prayers and wishes that he offered for the good of his marriage. Since Laras lived at home his parents Fian never met him or gulped his daughter.

"O Allah, if my marriage is to end, then end it, but if you have destined me to have honey from my husband, give my heart sincerity" Baras prayed every third of the night. 

Until one day when Laras has got an answer from every prayer. She met her husband at their home. However, the arrival of Laras this time did not bring Shafira with him.

"Assalammualaikum" Laras said as she opened her husband's office.

"Waalaikumsalam," Fian replied as he turned toward the voice.

"Can we talk for a second?" asked Laras while standing in front of her husband.

"We better talk in the room, I don't want all the employees to hear us" Fian replied as he stood up and walked towards their room.

As they walked towards the room, Mbok Ijah and Bejo looked at them. They hoped that his master would not be separated just because of the actor Ratna. All their prayers go out to the happiness of Laras and Fian.

"Mbak Laras" Bejo said as he watched Laras walk towards the room with Fian.

"Alhamdulillah, hopefully they can be together again" Mbok Ijah replied as he looked at them with sadness.

"This is all because Ratna, Pak Fian and Mbak Laras will part," said Bejo with annoyance.

"The snake woman is inexcusable, just beware that she dares to come here I will fry her," said Mbok Ijah as he swung the spatula in his hand.

"What do you want to talk about?" fian asked Laras while they were in the room.

"I'm sincere in polygamy, I'm sincere if I have to accept Ratna to be my sister and your second wife" Laras replied with a bow.

"Are you sure of your decision, if I am not sure because every third of the night I am not the polygamy that is in my heart, God is asking me to repent and improve my relationship with you," said Fian while staring at Laras who was still down.

"God willing I believe Mas, when can we propose to Ratna for you," asked Laras, holding his hand.

"Well if that's what you want we can go there now" Fian replied as he stood up and walked out of the room with Laras following who looked hesitant to step up.

***

"Assalammualaikum" said Laras and Fian simultaneously.

"Waalaikumsalam, Mas Fian!" ratna answered while shouting and hugging the body of the man before her.

"How is Ratna" said Laras who suddenly stood before Ratna.

"Mbak Laras, let's go in, please" replied Ratna as she let go of her embrace and let them into the house.

"No, I do not feel disturbed by the arrival of Mbak Laras," replied Ratna with a thin face.

"Mas, now quickly explain to Ratna what purpose we came here," Laras ordered while turning to her husband.

"I'm sorry for the mistakes we made at the time, because they were completely out of my mind and we came here to propose you as my second wife,"Obviously Fian to Ratna while looking nervous.

"Yes, after we thought for a few months I decided to marry you Mas Fian" said Laras, looking at the happy Ratna.

"Do you seriously want to marry me?" ratna asked with a happy smile.

"Yes, God willing I will propose to you in the near future" replied Fian hesitantly.

"Will I be a second wife?" ratna asked who immediately made Fian and Laras look at each other.

"Yes, because Mas Fian and I will not be separated, so I hope you are willing to become a second wife" Laras replied firmly.

"No! I don't want to be the second wife, all I want is me the only wife of Mas Fian without you or Shafira," Ratna sniffed bitterly.

"You've really gone too far with Ratna, Laras has kindly allowed me to take responsibility for your content, but instead you want to get rid of her, I don't agree. Honey, let's go home, "take Fian with a hand and hold Laras.

"Wait for Mas, both I will immediately take care of my divorce papers and Mas Fian so that you can get married soon," replied Laras who immediately made Fian surprised.

"Darling, are you crazy! Until whenever I won't divorce you," said Fian emotionally.

"So dong, 'will sound good so I don't need to hide or be stamped as an actor, '" replied Ratna with a cynical smile.

There was nothing Baras could do at this moment, only teardrops started falling onto his cheeks along with the breaking of a wife's heart. He who thought that Fian could be a good priest for him turned out to betray him. Although according to Fian it was just an accident but which wife did not feel sick about it.

"Then we say goodbye, God willing, in one week we will come to propose to you in your extended family" said Laras, standing up and walking out.

"Why did you say that we were going to get a divorce," asked Fian to Laras who was trying to look tough in front of Fian.

"I have no other choice, if he is more able to make you happy why should I be a hindrance" Laras replied with a smile.

"You're completely insane, I'm taking you to your parents' house" Fian said as he began driving his car.

***

"Why are we going to this hotel Mas, instead of you promising to take me home?" asked Laras in confusion

"Allow me to carry out my duties as a husband for you" said Fian, parking his car.

After booking the room Laras and Fian immediately walked towards the room. Fian who had missed Laras so much immediately kissed his wife's lips savagely. Fian fondling do in all parts of the body Laras with full softness.

Laras who is still a legitimate wife seems to have no passion. Although many times he tried to reciprocate what Fian did to his body. Either because of heartache over the affair of Fian and Ratna or because of disgust with the body of Fian who had touched Ratna.

***

In a separate place Ratna who felt that she had managed to get Fian smiling happily. She felt that her desire to become the legal wife of the wealthy contractor would soon be realized. Until when he was enjoying his happiness suddenly Wulan who had taken revenge for the betrayal of the friend immediately pushed Ratna who was standing in the living room until her stomach hit the table.

"Aah!" ratna shouted while holding her stomach.

"Feel, it's revenge for a traitorous friend like you," Wulan replied with a laugh.

"Based on your bastard Wulan, my son!" ratna shouted as she saw blood dripping between her legs.

"Well it turns out that with just one push you failed to marry Fian, then what if I stabbed you in the stomach with this knife would you and your baby die together," wulan said as she rubbed the knife into Ratna's stomach.

"I beg Wulan not to kill me and my son, forgive me Wulan," replied Ratna in a hearty manner.

"I also can't have the heart to kill you because you are my best friend" Wulan said as she rubbed a knife into her best friend's stomach.

"Yes you are right, we are best friends" Ratna replied as she tried to smile.

"But that was, long before you betrayed me, don't think you can be happy on top of my suffering Ratna" Wulan said as she pulled Ratna's hair.

There was fear and worry on Ratna's face. Many times he begged his friend for forgiveness for his mistake. However, Wulan who had already hated and held a grudge against Wulan did not completely mengubris all Ratna's remarks.

"See you my best friend" Wulan replied as she walked away from her best friend's house.

Fian and Laras who are satisfied to have a husband and wife relationship. Suddenly surprised by the sound of Fian's phone placed on the table. 

"Ratna," he said, turning to Laras.

"You better pick up, maybe he needs you right now" Laras ordered with a smile and walked towards the bathroom with a blanket.

"Halo Asalammualaikum" said Fian after receiving the call.

"What! Well I'll be there soon" Fian replied, looking panicked.

"What's up, Mom?" asked Laras who was surprised to hear her husband's scream.

"We better go to Ratna's house now," Fian asked while directly wearing his clothes.

"Indeed what happened to Ratna," asked Laras with curiosity and worry.

"You better get ready quickly, I'll explain later on the trip" Fian ordered Laras who was still using a towel.
