One Bed, Three Lives
Chapter 12 (Fate of my love)

Moments later came the owner of the contract, because before Laras told about Abi who would contract the house next to him.

"Sir, who wants to sign?" asked Bu Aminah, because Bu Aminah thought that Abi was her Husband Laras.

"This is Mas Abi Bu, my friend."

"I think this Mas Husband Nak Laras, because it is very similar to Daffa," said Bu Aminah.

"Mas Abi, my friend Ma'am," Laras said with a smile.

Ms. Aminah opened the rented door, but the rented house looked dirty.

"Son Abi, sorry for the contract I have not had time to clean" said Bu Aminah.

"It's okay Mom, I'll clean it myself. Laras said the contract price is a million, huh ma'am?" ask Abi.

"Yes Nak, if Nak Abi has not paid, can pay it later after the salary alone. I believe it because Nak Abi is a friend of Nak Laras."

"God willing that my one million money has ma'am. This is for the next month" Abi said by giving one million rupiah to Bu Aminah.

"Thank you son, may Nak Abi stay here," said Bu Aminah then say goodbye to Laras and Abi.

Abi had wanted to pay for a year, but Abi did not want Laras to feel suspicious of him.

"Mas Abi tipped Daffa yes, let Laras clean his house."

"Let me be alone, I don't feel good enough to bother you."

"It's okay Mas, let's just be Laras, if only clean the house does not ngerepotin really."

Abi invited Daffa to play by continuing to look at Laras who was currently cleaning the house, and Abi smiled to himself, because he imagined that Laras was his wife and Daffa was his Son.

Just this time my heart felt very happy, it seemed that I had really fallen in love with Laras, and somehow I felt very close to Daffa, and I immediately loved Daffa, she said, when we first met, Abi said in his heart.

After finishing cleaning Abi's rented house, Laras took food and drinks to his rented house for Abi.

"Mas Abi should eat first, Mas must be hungry right," said Laras by giving a plate of rice and also a dish containing chicken pepes, lalapan and sambal, as well as, Baras also made orange ice for himself and Abi.

"Laras, thank you, I should treat you to eat, this is even back," Abi said with a smile.

"Nothing Mas, later Mas Abi can treat Laras if it's salary, Poor money Mas Abi just used to pay the contract," laras said that he thought that Abi's money had been used to pay his rent, but that one million for Abi was nothing.

Abi ate Laras' cooking voraciously, and Abi continued to praise Laras' cooking.

"It's really good to taste, only this time I'm eating this delicious food" Abi praised.

"Mas Abi could have. Maybe because every day Laras cooks for merchandise, because before entering work, Laras sells food first in front of the factory."

"You are the great female figure of Laras. I salute you, for you can be both a Father and a Mother to Daffa. If you know, where is your husband?"

"I'm not that great Mas, if I'm great, maybe my husband won't have an affair with my own real sister" Laras said with a wry smile.

Poor Laras, it seems like the wounds inflicted by her ex-husband are so deep. It must be hard to accept the fact that her husband is having an affair with his own biological sister, Abi said in her heart.

"It's okay Mas, we're friends, and for Laras, friends are brothers. So, Mas Abi did not need to hesitate like that to Laras. Mas Abi also does not need to pity the barrel, because Laras believes behind the disaster there will certainly be hidden wisdom."

Laras was right, had Laras not been divorced from her husband, maybe I would not have met Laras. May Laras be the destiny of my love, the inner Abi.

"If there is anything you can also tell me the same story, because I also do not have many friends, even you are the first girl friend for me," Abi said with a sincere smile, and Laras' heart warmed when he saw Abi's smile.

No Baras, you should not fall in love that easily, let alone you just met Abi. You also do not expect too much, because all that will only hurt your heart if everything is not in accordance with your wishes, the inner Laras who still close his heart to any man.

......................

The next morning, Laras delivers the food first to Abi's house for breakfast.

"Assalamu'alaikum Mas" said Laras.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," Abi said by rubbing his eyes, and Abi still looked sleepy because Abi could not sleep last night.

"What a bad luck?" ask Laras.

"Iya Laras, maybe because I'm not used to a new place," said Abi, because usually Abi sleeps on a soft mattress and spacious rooms and facilities.

"Mas Abi should go to the bathroom first mungpung new five o'clock more, so Mas Abi can still pray Fajr. Oh yes, this is breakfast for Mas Abi, then Laras go home first yes, Laras has not finished wrapping rice with the same cuisine," said Laras by returning to his rented house.

"Still Yes Laras" Abi said with a slight shout.

"Yes equally Mas," cried Laras too, because Laras had entered the house.

"Laras is really a good woman, Laras even reminded me to pray, even though all this time I was very far from God. It's best that from now on I turn into a better person. It's not that a good person will mate with a good person as well" Abi murmured, then stepped foot into the bathroom.

Anggi was curious about the figure of Abi Laras told.

"But, isn't Abi handsome?" ask Anggi.

"The handsome Anggi, Abi is a man" Laras replied.

"You're not really happy, I'm serious Laras."

"If Abi is handsome, what do you want? don't tell me you want to get him? you have Reza."

"Who said I want to get Abi, I just hope that Abi is fooling you, because from the story I heard from you, Abi seems to fit as Daffa's father."

"You don't think of Anggi, I don't deserve Mas Abi, let alone my status as a one-child widow. So, how could Mas Abi also have a crush on me."

"Alas, you should know, whoever gets you, he is the luckiest man in the world. Moreover, you already have a child, so buy one can be free one," said Anggi, and Laras laughed at Anggi's joke.

Thank God for sending good people who have always been there for me, Laras said in his heart.
