The Soul of the Maya World
Chapter 6
Fian immediately drove his car to a place. After a while they arrived at a house. Laras who found out if it was his parents' house immediately asked the husband.
"Why are we here, Mas" asked Laras curiously.
"Now we go down first, you'll know why we're here" Fian said, shutting down his car.
The look of anxious and fearful face in the heart of Laras. Fian who knew what Laras was currently feeling immediately clasped the wife's hand. Upon arriving at their doorstep they are greeted by Arman's hateful gaze upon them.
"Do you want to come here!" snapped Arman to Laras and Fian.
"I just want to ask for your blessing to marry Laras" replied Fian loudly.
"Aren't we married?" asked Laras while looking at her husband.
"Restu, don't ever dream of getting my blessing because until now I won't approve of your marriage!" snapped Arman to Fian.
"Then I return Laras to you, I will return after you give us your blessing" Fian replied as he handed Laras over to Sophia.
"What's not better ..." unfinished Sophia spoke Arman directly to her.
"Bring the barrel inside now!" snapped Arman while shouting.
"No Ma'am, Laras wants to come home with Mas Fian," Laras whined to the mother.
"Let's go, later you can be angry with us," asked the mother while hugging Laras.
"For why do you do this to me" asked Laras, crying.
"I'm sorry Laras, the marriage law must have the blessing and the marriage guardian of your biological father if it doesn't exist then our marriage is not legal in the eyes of religion, I promise I will wait for you until your own father brings you to me" Fian replied as he turned towards Arman who was standing next to him.
"But Mas, I don't want to go back to this house" Laras said in tears.
"Take care of yourself, I will still be responsible for your living and your life, and whatever happens," Fian replied, wiping his wife's tears.
After handing Laras over to his parents, Fian immediately stepped into his car. In his heart there was pain and pity towards Laras. However, he was worried that the relationship he was living in would become adulterous in the eyes of religion.
Before he left the house he had seen Laras who continued to cry in the arms of the mother. There was nothing he could do at the moment other than try hard and wait for Arman to give his blessing to him and Laras. After seeing the wife from behind the window Fian immediately drove his car to his house.
"Why do you have the heart for Laras, why can't you give us your blessing!" shouted Laras in front of his father.
"I explained again, that man is not worthy of you because you are 20 years different," replied Arman firmly.
"What if we were 20 years different? As long as Dad knows Fian is a very good man he also appreciates women very much, unlike Dad!" snapped Laras while shouting.
"plakk! Shut the fuck up" the father snapped while slapping Laras' cheek.
"Oh Allah sir" said Sophia, who was surprised by what her husband did.
"Quickly bring this child who does not know himself into the room, before I beat him here" Arman ordered Sophia.
"Let's go inside Nak, Fian will definitely pick you up" said the mother, hugging Laras into her room.

In a separate place Fian did not go straight home. However, he returned to Ghofar's ustadz house to calm down. At his age who had entered the head of 4 Fian no longer thought about his world, he put forward life in the afterlife later.
"Assalamualaikum" said Fian, knocking on the door of the house of ustadz ghofar.
"Waalaikumsalam" said someone from inside the house.
"Son Fian, let's come in please sit down first let me call you Father," said Ms. Romlah while inviting Fian in.
"Thank you, ma'am" Fian replied as he walked into the house.
After waiting almost 5 minutes in the living room. Ustadz Ghofar and his wife came out with a tray of coffee. With a friendly smile, Ms. Romlah began to put the coffee on the table and sit next to her husband.
"How is the matter done" asked Ustadz Ghofar after sitting down before Fian.
"I've brought Laras to his parents' house, but they still don't want to give us our blessing, '" replied Fian as he rubbed a tear that fell on his cheek.
"It's okay, God willing, in the near future they will bless you" Ustadz Ghofar told Fian.
"Sufferful Sister Fian, if God's soul mate will surely return" said Ms. Romlah with a smile.
"Astagfirullah is not yet ustadz," Fian replied in surprise.
"Then the prayer used to be just a coincidence inside there was a small prayer, so Nak Fian could pray inside" replied Ustadz Ghofar kindly.
As Fian was performing the magrib prayer in Rome, he began to ask about the problem Fian was facing at this time. They already thought Fian was like their own son so that's why Fian felt more comfortable when he told stories with Ustadz Ghofar and his wife. After finishing the prayer Ustadz Ghofar and his wife invited Fian to dinner together. While enjoying dinner suddenly heard the sound of a cell phone from inside Fian's pocket.
"I'm sorry Ustadz I picked up the phone for a while" Fian said, standing up from his seat.
"Yes please son," replied Ustadz Ghofar kindly.
"Hello, assalamualaikum," said Fian after the call was connected.
"Waalaikumsalam, you where Mas is," Laras asked by phone call.
"I'm in the house of ustadz Ghofar, how are you," asked Fian gently.
"I'm not good, why do you have to take me to this house Mas, you know Daddy will never give his blessing to us" said Laras, sounding tearful.
"Sorry, I have no other choice, I do not want our relationship to be recorded as adultery because it is hindered by your parents' blessing, because the sin of adultery is too severe a punishment," obviously Fian while holding back his tears.
"But we have nothing to escape from our sins, because we are ordinary people" Laras explained in tears.
"I know, but not with the sin of adultery because we can choose whether or not we can proceed from that sin" replied Fian.
"If you still don't approve of our relationship how, are you going to find my replacement" asked Laras.
"Never worry about what has not happened, you have prayed" asked Fian to his wife.
"I'm a Christian if I pray according to your religion" asked Laras confused.
"While you pray according to your current beliefs, until we meet and I will help you know Islam and Allah" Fian replied with a smile.
"Then I pray first Mas,Assalamualaikum," said Laras while closing his phone.
"Waalaikumsalam" replied Fian.
After closing his phone Fian immediately returned to the dining table to continue the dinner. After finishing his dinner Ustadz Ghofar invited Fian to sit in the front yard smoking cigarettes and enjoying the night. While lighting a cigarette Ustadz Ghofar began to ask about the figure of Laras a woman who had made him fall in love.
"Laras is a 24-year-old girl, she is a simple girl I know through blue app 2 months ago, back then she was working as a daycare employee," obviously Fian while smoking a cigarette in his hand.
"Then why did his father not approve of your relationship" asked ustadz Ghofar.
"Because I'm 40 years old sir, they think I'm too old for their daughter" Fian replied with a smile.
"Thinking doesn't make sense to me, but it seems you said that Laras is a Christian religion what is true" asked Ustadz Ghofar, wondering.
"True Ustadz," answered Fian briefly.
"How can the Muslim parents of their children have another religion" asked the distraught ustad.
"From childhood Laras did not get a religious education from his parents, he knew Islam only from his school when he graduated Junior High he decided to continue to the boarding school. However, the father rejected it on the grounds that someone who entered the boarding school would not get a job in the modern era like this. Then his father enrolled him in a Christian High School on the grounds that the school was a favorite and internationally based school" Fian told Ustadz Ghofar.
"So he converted to Christianity because of the association during his time at school" guessed Ustadz Ghofar.
"You could say that, maybe he had been comfortable with the teachings he had at school so he decided to change his religion," replied Fian while sipping a coffee beside him.
"Astagfirullah, pity the old man Laras," said the ustadz as he turned towards Fian.
"Therefore ustadz besides me very fond of Laras, I also want to invite him to return to his original religion and introduce him to Islam and God that he had not known all along," replied Fian.
"Hopefully what you want can be achieved son, teach and take care of him because women like him really need our guidance about religion" said the ustadz while patting Fian on the shoulder.
After chatting for a long time Fian immediately returned to Ustadz Ghofar and his wife. Arriving at Fian's house went straight to his room to rest. For a moment he saw some photos in his room.
"I'm sorry, honey, I'm sure one day we'll meet again when your father gives us his blessing" Fian said, wiping a picture of his wife.
Tonight Fian felt lonely without a smile and laughter from Laras. Seen a bouquet of red roses that are still neatly arranged on the makeup table Laras that makes Fian increasingly feel the longing for the wife. Fian who was tired of trying to close his eyes. However, just as he had started to fall asleep he was startled by the sound of shouting from outside the gate of his workshop door.
"Fians! Fian," shouted someone from the outside to make Fian wake up from his sleep.
