My Husband's Love Is Not For Me
67. Seeking Barrel

Danu prepares to go where Laras lives. If calculated, it is likely that Laras is nine months pregnant. And it was time to give birth, she did not want Laras to give birth without being accompanied by him. So Danu thought.

Cars speeding across a crowded lane will be other vehicles. As if everything is racing against time, they are like racing each other to quickly get to their respective goals.

So does Danu, she can't wait to meet Laras. The wife he had neglected and abandoned. There was a sense of regret when he was really with the heart to drive away Laras just because he made a cake in the kitchen together with his substitute friend.

"I'm sorry Laras, I'm sorry." muttered Danu.

The car turns, he looks for the home address according to his number. It was likely that the address of the house he was holding was a rented house. And when Danu arrived in front of the house listed at the address, she saw a small house that was quiet.

Danu got out of his car, looked at alternately the house and home address in his hand. Match him up, then he stepped towards the closed door of the house. There was another house lined up next to him there was a resident.

He knocked on the door and said his greetings.

Tok to tok.

"Assalamu aleikum!" said Danu at the door of the house.

There was no answer, Danu once again knocked on the door and said his greetings back. Still no answer, already ten minutes Danu waited and knocked on the door.

A middle-aged, stocky mother looks approaching Danu. His eyes were sharply staring at Danu and full of probing. Danu turned to him and asked about the occupants of the house.

"Mom, where are the residents of this house?" ask Danu politely.

"Who are you?" asked the mother, continuing to search her eyes.

"I ..." Danu did not continue his words.

"Who?"

"Emm, is it true that this is a rented place?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Then, the person who contracted here where are you?"

"You're his girlfriend, huh? So many girlfriends." said the mother cynically.

"Daughter?"

"Yes, he has a lot of girlfriends. So I kicked him out of my contract!" said the mother who turned out to be the owner of the contract.

Danu frowned, she was confused as to why the mother thought her boyfriend was. Did anyone besides him come?

"Mom, wait. You know who contracted the house here?" ask Danu to make sure.

If it's true that Laras is contracted, it's impossible that Laras has a girlfriend. Danu was confused, but she asked again.

"Mom, what's the name of the person who contracted in this house?" ask Danu.

"Name Laras right? She's pregnant, there's always men coming here. I thought she was a bad girl, asked where her husband was. But he just said he was gone. A month or so he contracted here. Since she couldn't answer correctly where her husband was, I ended up expelled. I don't want my rented house occupied by bad people!" said the owner of the contract.

Danu's blood rippled, he closed his eyes in anger at the owner of the rented house.

"Mom knows, I'm her husband. I did go and will come back to her, why can't you throw away a woman who is pregnant?!"

"God! How do I know you're her husband. There was also a man who came he claimed to be his friend. At first admitted his friend, where there is a friend so attention to the woman. Bring food, and also often chat for long. So I think it's better for her to be kicked out of not being able to show me the wedding book if she has a husband!" the owner of the contract again.

Back Danu was silent, he was slapped with the words of the owner's mother of the contract. True, Laras and himself never registered their marriage in KUA. Because he was crazy about Jasmin.

It felt like Danu's heart was broken hearing that, she was eager to yell at the mother before her. Maybe not all rented homeowners do not care about people who contract, but the mother is very thorough and does not want to pollute her rash from people who want to hide because of shame.

But Laras isn't like that, she's a nice, submissive girl. Danu rubbed her face rough, looking at the mother once again who was pouting.

"Mom knows, I'm her husband. I wanted to pick her up to go home" Danu said.

"You kicked him out?"

"No, but he ...."

"If you are a good husband. Don't let the big pregnant wife run away, if she gives birth on the road how?!"

"But the mother also expels women who are pregnant! Why did mom do it? I should have waited for her to give birth, and then she could have left. Very inhumane!" said Danu annoyed.

"God! You are also inhuman! Expelling wife is pregnant big!"

"Mother!"

He passed away leaving Danu who was confused. Where else is he looking for Laras. It felt his regret for being so wrong on Laras made him want to scream.

"Where are you Laras?" said Danu confused to find Laras where.

Then he decided to go to the library. Who knows his friend there knows where Laras is, even if it feels impossible.

Danu got in the car, he drove it slowly. While thinking about the daily life of Laras if shopping for cake ingredients anywhere. Perhaps he saw Laras accidentally on the road, because often he saw Laras on the road by riding a motorcycle.

But it feels impossible if Laras rides his own bike with that big belly. Along the way Danu looks at each side of the street. Hope she sees Laras or Dian who used to help her make the cake.

Until the car was far from the rented house earlier, Danu did not see in every store his wife was seen. He took a rough breath, it felt like he was really confused where to look for Laras.

Finally he still went to the library, he remembered that Laras had told him that the library holder had every month reported all the circumstances and finances of the library to him. Danu will ask the head of the library about the whereabouts of Laras.

Arriving at the library, he parked his car. The state of the library is crowded with visitors, so Danu will immediately meet with the head of the library. Asked if Mr. Robi, the head of the library had ever met with Laras.

Danu went inside the library and asked the guard.

"Mister, is Robi here?" ask Danu.

Nita, the library keeper of Laras' friend was shocked by Danu's sudden arrival. He silently looked at Danu.

"Mister, is Robi here?" ask Danu again.

"There's a sir in his room. Mr Danu want to see Mr Robi?" ask Nita nervously.

"Yes." replied Danu.

Nita also escorted Danu to the office space of Mr. Robi. He knocks on the door and Nita walks in, telling him that Danu wants to see him.

"Please come in Mr. Danu" said Nita.

"Thank you."

Danu entered, he saw Mr. Robi standing in shock and suddenly Danu came and wanted to meet him.

"Please sit down Mr. Danu" said Mr. Robi.

"Thank you, I just wanted to ask you about Laras. Did he ever come here?" ask Danu.

"Only once, and that was three months ago. After that it doesn't come anymore. What's wrong, Danu's looking for Laras?" ask Mr. Robi.

"Sir Robi knows that I am ..."

"Yes, I know. And Laras never told me." said Mr. Robi.

"Oh yeah. Then, does Mr. Robi know the existence of Laras house?"

"I'm at BTN's sir."

"Aah, yeah. He hasn't lived there in a long time" Danu said.

"Ooh, maybe Nita knows about Laras. He's Laras' closest friend" said Mr. Robi.

"That nita was?"

"Yes. I call him first sir."

Mr. Robi called Nita and told her to come to his room. Not long after, Nita came in. He looked at Danu and Mr. Robi in turn.

"What did Mr. Robi call me?" ask Nita.

"You know the house where Laras lives? You ever call him?" ask Mr. Robi.

"We lost contact sir, since three months ago. And I haven't met Laras yet." replied Nita.

Doldrums, Danu is suddenly lethargic. It turns out that Laras has not come to the library since three months ago. Finally Danu said goodbye to Mr. Robi, he was confused to find Laras where.
