14 Chapter 13

REZA , Laras and Rina are now at a nearby restaurant. Just a simple restaurant, Laras wants to talk to her Mom about something. She glanced at Reza to give a code for Reza to leave the two of them first. Understanding, Reza finally came out and waited outside with a cup of coffee with him.

"Laras-, isn't he one of the children of the Thomas family? Are you here with him?" Rina asked Laras when she saw Reza who had already seated himself on the bench outside.

Laras nodded.

"Yes Mom, but calm down. He's nice, he helps me a lot at the Thomas family's house." She answered by holding Rina's palm which felt cold, she stroked it a little to get rid of the worry that was now felt by her Mom. She could see it from the outline of her mom's face.

"Are you okay there honey? I'm sorry mae couldn't help you that time." Rina pulled one of her hands, she rubbed the corners of his eyes that felt watery. She can't stand it when it comes to her only child. "Is my grandson okay in there?" she continued looking at Laras's stomach.

"Of course it's fine Grandma." Replied Laras trying to tease, and it managed to make a small smile etched on her mom's lips. "Mom, there's one thing I want to talk about."

Rina turned her gaze to Laras.

"what is it honey?"

"I'm married Mom."

DEG

The smile that was etched on Rina's lips instantly faded when she heard Laras's words. Is the child married? Who with? Even Rina just heard this news.

"Really? With who? Him?" she pointed at Reza who was outside.

Laras shook her head.

"No, but with his brother. The father of my son Mom. She willingly wants to take responsibility and marry me." Laras lied to her own Mom.

"Then? Why didn't you tell Mom Laras. Mom could have come and attended your wedding."

Laras looked down deeply, her guess was right. If he manages to contact her mom. Then her mom will definitely come. Should be.

"I called Mom before even before my wedding day. But Mom and Dad's numbers couldn't be reached. Did Mom change numbers? Then why does our house look so empty." Laras looked at her Mom expectantly asking for an explanation.

Rina stood up from her seat, she moved to the side of Laras's seat and immediately hugged her daughter making Laras cry immediately, she didn't care about the few people who were now looking at them.

"So that day? I'm sorry Laras. Mom is really sorry." Rina tightened her embrace. "Actually, Mom and your father have moved out of our old house. Your father is in debt Laras. We are both being chased by loan sharks." Rina released her embrace then grabbed Laras's hands which were on her thighs.

"Since when? Why is dad in so much debt? Why didn't mom tell me? How much do you need? I'll get my savings." Laras was about to stand up and wanted to go to the ATM machine but was held by Rina.

"Don't! Let this matter mae think about, Laras, it's the result of your hard work. You don't need to help mom. If you give money to Mom and your father. Your father will definitely keep asking you for money later. Live happily with your husband, in-laws and sister-in-law." Said Rina, patting Laras's hand lightly.

Laras just replied with a smile, a thin smile as a protective mask in front of her mom.

"I hope so too." – Laras.

Laras walked languidly into the Thomas family's house. Reza took her to the front of the house, he had to leave immediately because suddenly Rara contacted Reza. She was thinking about the state of Mom and her father. Even though her father hates hers, she still loves him. What has been said and done by her father, it does not necessarily make her have to hate someone who has raised her.

Her steps stopped when she almost passed the living room, there she saw Fania sitting alone on the sofa with her head back. Laras frowned, out of curiosity Laras finally walked over to it.

"Madam? Madam why are you sleeping here?" Laras asked by lightly touching Fania's arm, which turned out to be closing her eyes.

"Hmmm where are you from?" Fania murmured opening her eyes a little then she closed them again by occasionally massaging her temples.

"It's ... just out for a while." Said Laras nervously, she tried again to ask her father-in-law or rather her employer. "Madam why are you sleeping here?"

Fania lifted her propped head then opened her eyes to see Laras standing near the sofa. "Where did you go without my permission? And who did you go with? Fania's pale face is now mixed with anger.

"I've asked permission from Rio, Reza who accompanied me madam."

"Wow you are great now, you want to rule in my family's house? First Rio, and now Reza? You really are a sly Woman, your sweet face is useless. You use it just to cheat!"

"Not like that..."

"Excuses, I know you're just....arrggggg!!!!" Fania suddenly grimaced when she hadn't stopped her sentence, she just kept holding her head which hurt more and more.

"Madam why?" Laras immediately knelt down to immediately help Fania to sit back on the sofa. "Gosh, madam's body is hot."

Fania immediately pushed Laras's hand away who tried to help her.

"I can do it myself! You don't need to help me." Fania put her hands on the sofa to try to stand up, she just wanted to straighten himself. Fania's body immediately dazed and almost fell to the floor if Laras didn't hold her.

"Let me help madam." Said Laras holding Fania's body and now supporting the body to go to the main room, fortunately her father-in-law's room was on the first floor.

After arriving in the room, Laras laid Fania's body carefully on the bed. She pulled the blanket under her and Laras covered half of Fania's body.

"Should I get some warm water or should I make some hot tea?" Laras asked Fania.

"No need! I don't need that, you better call my family's private doctor." She said sarcastically.

Laras is silent, she doesn't have a cell phone or the phone number of the Thomas family's private doctor. She didn't know what to do.

"Laras! Hurry up! Why are you so slow! Ssss...hhh." Fania held her throbbing head again after he spoke to Laras.

"Y-yes madam, I will ask aunt Lin for help."

Laras immediately came out of Fania's room, she rushed to look for Lin's aunt. Aunt Lin must know how to call the Thomas family's private doctor, she has to hurry because her in-laws are in a lot of pain. Plus her father-in-law was already experiencing symptoms of cold sweat.
