The Soul of the Maya World

Chapter 43

“What a pity, why are you screaming in fear like this," asked Fian while hugging his wife's body.

"Ratna, there is Ratna" Laras said, pointing to the corner of the room.

"Ratna, in this room there's no one dear, you're just dreaming" Fian replied as he looked at the frightened Laras.

"There was Mas he was there and smiled at me while waving a hand he was also holding a baby boy" Laras replied as he continued to fear and cry.

"Now that you rest, I will accompany you here" said Fian, kissing his wife's forehead and helping her lie on the bed.

Arman and Sophia immediately walked out of the room leaving Fian and Laras. When Laras was asleep with his sleep Fian intended to leave the room to get fresh air. For a moment he contemplated alone while smoking a cigarette in his hand.

"Fian, tell us what really happened to Laras" Arman told his son-in-law, sitting next to Fian.

“It looks like Laras is experiencing mental stress over Ratna's sudden departure,” Fian replied as he looked ahead with a blank look. 

“Ratna, who is he?” sophia asked in confusion.

“Ratna is our new domestic assistant, yesterday she was found dead in her home and there were a lot of stab wounds in her stomach,” Fian replied as he turned to her in-laws.

“Innalillahi, did Laras get to see his body?” ask Sohpia to make sure.

“No, but 3 hours before Ratna was found dead in her house we had a chance to meet her in that house, maybe that's why Laras was in shock,” Fian replied doubtfully.

“Then whose son Laras said earlier, did she die pregnant?” suddenly asked Arman.

“Ratna did die pregnant, the child was a child ...” unfinished Fian replied he stopped his speech because he heard the voice of Laras calling his name.

“Sorry sir, Mom I want to see Laras first,” said Fian as he got up from his seat and walked towards his room.

In a separate place Wulan who deliberately came to Siska's house not only to express his sorrow for Aldi's departure. However, instead, they want to find sympathy for the entire Fian family so that they hate Laras and instead help him to bless his relationship and Fian. Wulan, who initially wants to use others to destroy the Fian household, turns to using her ex-lover's entire family as a tool to destroy Fian's household.

“Assalamualaikum,” said Wulan while entering the house and meeting Siska who was crying beside the body of the husband.

“Waalaikumsalam,” replied some people who were in the house. 

“I am so sorry brother for the death of Mas Aldi,” said Wulan who sat next to Siska.

“Thank you Wulan, you are indeed a good woman,” praise Siska while shaking her hand.

“Oh yes Mas Fian why go home, and I accidentally saw him go with Laras,” Wulan said as if starting to provoke hatred of the entire Fian family to Laras.

“Fian has really been blinded by love, his brother was in trouble he actually went to have fun with his wife,” replied one of Fian's relatives who were calming Siska.

“Iya, supposedly as a wife Laras can tell a good but now he actually even made one family quarrel, the basic woman is not right,” replied the other relatives.

“Tadi Fian and the woman came here, but Brother kicked out,” replied Siska while trying to regulate her breathing.

“Diusir, indeed why should be expelled, instead of their brother Brother,” said Wulan with a heart full of smiles. 

“Fian is my sister but until now I will not recognize Laras as a sister, because that woman who has been the mastermind of Mas Aldi's death,” Siska replied while wiping her tears. 

“Before, Wulan did not understand why Laras was to blame instead of Mas Aldi dying in prison?” asked Wulan with curiosity.

“Mas Aldi went to jail for being accused of stealing in Fian's workshop and the woman who asked Fian to throw Mas Aldi, even though he was not proven guilty,” Siska replied as if twisting the facts.

“Astagfirullah, why Laras is so cruel, Brother,” said Wulan while rubbing Siska's shoulder.

“Which are you? Looks like you know Fian very well,” asked a woman sitting next to Siska.

“She is Wulan, she was Fian's ex-lover before she married Laras, but has no idea why Fian left Wulan and chose to marry the poor girl. Though Wulan is a good girl and from a distinguished family,” obviously Siska who is very visible to share Wulan.

“Ya may not be a match just Aunty,” replied Wulan to one of the aunt mentan.

When they talk familiarly. Suddenly an ustad came to Siska and asked when the funeral procession could be done. After getting permission from the family of the corpse they immediately raised the coffin of Aldi's body to be buried immediately.

After the funeral procession went smoothly and the whole family returned to their homes, including Wulan. In different places Fian actually looks worried about the condition of the wife who looks weak and depressed. Fian's only hope is for Laras' recovery so he can return to taking care of Shafira and joke around like he used to.

“Mas,” call Baras while holding Fian's hand.

“Iya, I'm here, do you want to eat?” fian asked while rubbing his wife's hair.

“Iya I'm hungry Mas,” said Laras with a smile. 

“What do you want to eat, how about I buy chicken porridge or you want sweet cheese martabak,” asked Fian excitedly.

“I want to eat satay padang, can you buy me satay padang?” asked Laras doubtfully.

“Can of course you can, I will order 10 packs of satay padang for you,” replied Fian while standing up and took his phone and immediately opened the online ojek application to order satay padang.

No matter how long 12 packets of satay padang arrived with ushered by a courier. After paying and giving 2 packs of satay padang to the courier. Fian went straight into the house and gave it to his wife.

"Mas, please help me get up and take me to the dinner table, because I want to eat with you guys," Laras said, raising his hand as if he wanted to grab the hand of her husband standing next to her.

They also eat together with happiness. Neither Arman nor Sophia asked who Ratna had Laras mentioned a few hours ago. Looks happy smile Laras when eating with her husband, and parents.

"What will we be going to Bali tomorrow?" asked Laras while taking the glass in front of him.

"Dear, why?" asked Fian curiously.
