The Soul of the Maya World

Chapter 39

By the time they got to Ratna's house there were already many people coming. Police put up a yellow line so that no one would approach the area. Several health workers were seen carrying a body bag out of Ratna's house.

“Why in Ratna's house are so many Police and whose body just came out of that house?” asked Laras while continuing to stare at Ratna's house from inside the car.

“I don't know for sure either, but the police called me to inform you that Ratna was found dead inside her house,” replied Fian while turning off her car engine.

“Innalillahiwainnailaihirojioun,” said Laras while holding his chest.

“Yes Allah why did you keep my Husband away from Ratna in such a tragic way,” Inner Laras while continuing to look at the crowd in front of him with blank eyes.

“Honey, you want to stay here or come down with me," said Fian to make Laras surprised.

"I'm coming down with you Mas" Laras replied without looking at Fian.

Laras and Fian got out of the car and immediately met one of the policemen standing guard in front of the police line. Laras who was still in disbelief with the news he heard only fell silent without saying a word. She thinks why all this happened when she started telling her husband to be polygamous.

"Good afternoon Mom and Dad, how can I help you?" a policeman asked as Fian and Ratna stood before him.

"We are the former employers of Ratna, what really happened to Ratna" Fian told the police.

"There was a resident who accidentally saw a woman come out of this house with suspicious movements, and when the residents saw the condition of this house he was surprised because the owner of the house was lifeless," obviously the Police.

"A woman? Then is there any evidence to trace who the killer is," asked Fian curiously.

"Aside the victim was found a kitchen knife that was covered in blood, and we have now taken the victim to the hospital for an autopsy before being buried" the police said.

When Fian and a cop were talking about what really happened. Suddenly Laras who was trying to stay standing firmly immediately fell and was unconscious. Until making Fian who was beside him immediately panicked and immediately carried him into the car.

"Darling," called Fian as he rubbed his wife's cheek and put eucalyptus oil on his nose.

"Mas, why does my head hurt so much?" asked Laras while holding his head.

"You wait here, I'm going out to buy a drink for a while" Fian said as he exited his car.

Panicked Fian immediately stepped foot into a small shop around Ratna's house. Not long after Fian re-entered his car. Look Laras who still closed his eyes while massaging his head gently.

"You drink first" Fian ordered, giving Laras a bottle of mineral water.

"Why is all this so fast, why did he leave when I let you go, Mas" said Laras with tears in his eyes.

"Find it all this is an answer from God, if I am not allowed to do polygamy," replied Fian, stroking his hair gently.

"But why should it end tragically Mas, why should death separate," said Laras, crying bitterly.

"Honey, we don't know who Ratna might have an enemy beyond all we can do is pray for her and fix what has happened" Fian said, hugging his wife's body.

"It's not just you who's surprised, even I didn't expect that death would be the separation between me and Ratna," Fian's inner voice hugged Laras and gently kissed her hair.

"Assalamualaikum," said Fian and Laras when he arrived at the workshop.

"Waalaikumsalam," Bejo replied with surprise when he saw the condition of Laras.

"Please enter my car, because I want to take Laras to the room and after this meet me in the workspace yes Jo," said Fian while continuing to hug Laras who looked very limp while handing the key to Bejo.

Ratna's death left Laras so shocked that he fainted for several minutes. After helping Barrel lay in bed. Fian immediately contacted Arman and asked for help to keep Shafira for a few days until Laras' condition recovered.

"Assalamualaikum," Bejo said as he entered Fian's study.

"Waalaikumsalam, please sit down Jo," replied Fian as he let Bejo sit down.

"Thank you sir, what exactly happened that Mbak Laras looked so beaten?" asked Bejo who was already sitting in front of Fian.

"Ratna was found dead in her home" Fian replied, to Bejo's surprise.

"Innalillahiwainnailaihirojijun," said Bejo while looking surprised by what he heard.

"He was found dead in his house in a state full of stab wounds in his stomach, and it happened a few hours after we came to his house" Fian said, playing a pen in his hand.

"Did the police catch the culprit?" ask Bejo who is starting to be curious.

"Not yet, the Police are still conducting an investigation on the case," Fian replied leaning back.

"Then what makes Mbak Laras look devastated after hearing the news of Ratna's death?" bejo asked curiously.

"We came to Ratna's house to propose to her because Laras had told me to do polygamy by marrying Laras" explained Fian who increasingly made Bejo confused.

"Polygamy?" reply Bejo who looks increasingly clueless with the words of the big Boss.

"Yes, Ratna is pregnant and the baby in her womb is my son" replied Fian, looking down.

"Astagfirullahaladzim, so all this time Mr Fian and Ratna have a special relationship?" bejo asked as if he could not believe what Fian had said.

"It's a long story, but Laras already knows about Ratna's pregnancy so he intends to see Ratna and agree to polygamy between me and Ratna, but a few hours we go home from there, I got a call from the police asking me to go to Ratna's house immediately and say if Ratna had been found lifeless inside her house" Fian told Bejo.

"About who would have killed two lives at once" said Bejo while looking to think.

"See, but according to some residents before Ratna was found dead there was a woman out of her house in a hurry, because residents suspected they immediately walked to Ratna's house to make sure of her condition," fian replied while massaging his backside head.

"Then how is the situation of Mbak Baras now how is Sir?" ask Bejo who feels sorry for his boss' wife.

"He seemed to be still in shock and kept crying, earlier I had also asked his parents to take care of Shafira until Laras recovered," replied Fian who looked very hit.
