19 Chapter 18

It's been a week since Fania was hospitalized. And now she can go home. Steven and Rafi had gone down first with Fania, Laras and Rio were still in the room because there was still equipment to bring. Laras had packed up, while Rio, just leaned against the door watching Laras without wanting to help.

"Hurry up, after this I have a meeting ."

"Yeah, it's over." Laras closed her bag because she had finished packing, she immediately stood up and now carried the bag that was quite large and came out with him. She had just stepped out the door, suddenly the bag she was carrying had been taken over by Reza who had just arrived there.

"Let me bring it." Said Reza who was already carrying the bag that was originally in Laras's hand. "Why?" Reza asked Rio, who had been looking at him with disapproval.

"Nothing, why are you here?"

"I'm here to pick up Laras, because dad's car must be full because he has to bring Mommy, Rafi and other equipment."

"If you forget I also bring a car, don't need to pick up Laras, go home first." Rio said not wanting to lose, he grabbed Laras's wrist to take her downstairs, but his movement was stopped when one of Laras's hands was also grabbed by Reza.

"Don't you have a meeting Rio? So Laras will come home with me."

Rio smiled a little.

"She's my wife Reza Thomas. Don't tease her, remember she's your sister-in-law."

"Wife? Tch...have you ever treated her as you wife?" Reza said emphatically. Of course he didn't want to lose.

Laras, who was listening to the fight, was silent, not daring to make a sound, the air around her suddenly felt uncomfortable. She glanced left and right, and it turned out that the three of them were now being watched by people in the hospital hallway.

"Rio, Reza. Already. We're in a public place." Laras dared to speak. "Reza...akhh!" Laras winced as both her wrists hurt a little. As if waking up, Rio and Reza finally released their grip from Laras's wrist.

"Forgive me." Reza said again grabbing Laras's wrist but now slowly and he lifted it to take a closer look at the wrist.

"Does it hurt? Sorry I didn't mean to." He continued with a face that conveyed guilt.

"It's okay, I was just surprised just now." Replied Laras who slowly pulled his hand back, she felt bad because they were also with Rio now.

"Already? Now we go home. Laras will come home with me. You just take the bag with you, don't act Reza." Rio grabbed Laras's wrist, but this time without being held back by Reza. With quick steps he took Laras with him to go downstairs leaving Reza who was now suppressing his emotions. He was really annoyed to see Rio.

"You want to go directly to the meeting ?" Laras asked when they both got home. Laras still serves Rio even though Rio is always rude and makes Her sick, after all Rio is still her husband.

"No, the meeting is still two hours away. I still have time to change."

Rio walked to the second floor to get the suit he was going to wear.

"Rio, do you want to eat here or do you need lunch?" Laras again tried to offer.

"Looks like lunch, I'll get ready first." He answered with accelerated steps, actually Rio felt very helped by Laras's presence. He was getting more attention, and Rio could feel that. It's just that there is still Dinda in his heart, if he thought about it again, Dinda would be much better.

Rio was silent for a moment, it turned out that his suit had been chosen by Laras and now it was neatly arranged on the bed, even my tie and shoes were prepared. It turned out that Laras knew what he was used to, and everything was in order.

"When did she bribe? Didn't she make provisions?" he said small.

Don't worry, Rio just used it after his whole body was dry, getting ready because time was running out. It can't be late. He grabbed his bag and went straight down to the first floor.

From the direction of the kitchen Laras came in with a lunch in her hand, it was already prepared. Rio didn't know if Laras was nimble enough when it came to matters like this, she could maximize her time well.

"Rio, this is your lunch." Laras handed over the small bag she was carrying, and Rio immediately took it. "Wait, sorry for earlier." Laras walked over and now tidied Rio's tie a little to make it look more fitting.

Rio glanced at Laras's serious-looking face. Is it just feelings or Laras's face looks cleaner and more radiant? Or maybe he just noticed it? Who knows.

"Already."

"Thank you. Then, I'm leaving."

For the first time Rio said thank you.

"Ahh... I'm hungry." Said Rafi, who had just entered the Thomas family's mansion, he had been complaining about hunger for a long time. But the father did not want to stop for lunch outside, the father was still worried about his mother's condition. Mommy needs to rest right away.

"Ask Aunt Lin to make food if you're hungry Rafi." Steven spoke by always supporting Fania in a still weak condition.

"Yes, dad."

"That's not necessary." Cut Laras who just joined, "That, I just cooked when I made Rio hyung lunch to bring to the office."

"Owww__would like to practice being a good wife apparently. You don't have to bother with it. Because it can't possibly affect Rio." Fania said sarcastically at Laras.

"Nia, why do you say that. That's actually good isn't it, now you better rest." Steven carefully carried Fania into their room.

"I want to eat Sis!" Rafi immediately ran to Laras who was now smiling a little at him.

"Sit down, Sister will prepare it."

Rafi happily sat down at the dining table, waiting for Laras to get him food. He's really hungry.

His eyes immediately lit up when he saw the food and side dishes that Laras arranged right in front of him, without waiting long. Rafi immediately devoured it with great interest. In chewing, he took the time to ask Laras.

"Sis, can I ask a question?"

"what is Rafi?."

"Rio or Reza Brother's"

Laras frowned not understanding the question asked by Rafi.

"What do you mean Rafi?"

"Just choose, even if it doesn't affect me. You'll still be my Sister-in-law. Honestly, I'd be happy if you were my Sister-in-law Sis." Rafi put the food back in his mouth.

Laras seemed to understand. Little. She opened her mouth but she didn't when Reza came and immediately sat down next to Rafi.

"You're disturbing."

"Why? You want to be alone with Laras?"

"No".

"Then?".

"There is not any."

Reza shook his head slowly.

"Laras, you don't have anything to do after this, do you?" he asked Laras who was sitting across from him.

"No problem?"

"Accompany me somewhere."

Laras looked thoughtful.

"Come on, just a minute. How's that?" Reza again persuaded Laras, hoping that her brother-in-law would come with her.

"Okay, I'll accompany you." Laras's verdict in the end. And that made Reza smile with satisfaction.

"Well, looks like there's going to be a war tonight." Rafi chirps and immediately gets one hit on the head
