One Bed, Three Lives
Chapter 3 (Milk water is returned with tubal water)

Laras thought that her Mother-in-law would realize all her faults after hearing Laras' words, but it turned out that her Mother-in-law was becoming more and more.

"My husband and also my Son's Husband can't possibly have an affair, because we always serve our Husband well, unlike you who are busy working. It's possible that you also have been playing serong behind Rahman," said Bu Ida.

"Mom, if indeed the Son of Mother is wrong, Mother should warn him, not even continue to support Mas Rahman sin. Mother should also not accuse Laras of committing indecent acts like Mas Rahman and Roses have done, because all this time Laras also worked to meet the needs of the Mother Child. Are you not aware of what Mom says? had Mas Rahman worked, Laras would not have been able to work even while carrying merchandise, but was this your reply?"

"You dare to mock your husband, however Rahman is your Husband Laras."

"Not Mom, Mas Rahman is no longer the Baras Husband, because Mas Rahman has dropped three talaq to Laras."

"It's good that way, because Rose is pregnant, and Rahman has to marry her immediately."

"Then, excuse yourself to go to the room and take Daffa."

The barrel went into the room and then took Daffa who was still sleeping.

"Son, where is Laras going to take Daffa?" ask Mr. Laras's father-in-law named Mr. Syarief.

"Laras wants to get away from here, sir, because Laras won't be able to stay here."

"Son, in the name of the Son and the Wife of the Father, the Father apologized profusely. May Laras and Daffa find happiness wherever you are."

"Amin, thank you very much sir for his prayer," said Laras, then Laras opened the umbrella and re-entered his feet by holding Daffa in the midst of heavy rain.

Son, no matter what happens, Mother will always be there for Daffa, and Mother will be both a Mother and a Father for Daffa, Laras said in his heart, embracing Daffa's body, and without feeling the tears Laras kept dripping down his cheeks.

Laras brought Daffa to his friend Anggi's contract, and it happened that Anggi's contract was near the Factory where Laras worked.

Laras said Salam when he arrived in front of Anggi's rented house, and Anggi was so happy to see Laras who was soaked by holding his baby.

"Laras, let's go quickly, pity Daffa you bring rain," Anggi said by taking Daffa from Laras sling, then Anggi told Laras to change his clothes first.

After Laras finished changing clothes, Anggi gave warm sweet tea to Laras, because at this time Laras face looks pale.

"Now you tell me the same story, what has really happened to you and Mas Rahman? hasn't your household been harmonious all this time?" ask Anggi.

Laras who was no longer strong held everything, immediately rushed to hug Anggi's body tightly, then Laras shed his tears in Anggi's arms.

"Fig, it turns out that all this time Mas Rahman and Roses have had an affair," said Laras with a soft word.

"What's? do you know where Laras is? isn't the Rose your own biological sister? it is impossible for the Rose to return the milk with tubal water, because you are the Big Brother who has raised the Rose with your own hands" said Anggi.

Anggi clenched his hands to hear the story of Laras, because as a fellow woman, Anggi felt heartache to hear the brother who had been Laras grew by squeezing energy and sweat his heart to snatch the Husband Brother himself.

"What kind of husband Rahman, how could he have an affair with his sister-in-law. Though all this time you slammed your bones to support them, but this is the reply they gave to you. Laras, you must rise, you are not alone, because I helped you raise Daffa."

"Thank you very much Anggi, you are indeed my best friend."

"Laras, you have helped me a lot during my time of trouble, so I should have helped you too. I will ask our bosses to change our shift so that we can take turns to look after Daffa, and I will help you sell it in front of the Factory, too" Anggi said.

"Thank you so much Anggi, I don't know what else to say but to say thank you."

"Laras, you who have helped me get a job, even when I first came to Bogor, you have also loaned money to me to pay my rent and needs every day, at that time we did not know each other. And now it's time for me to repay all your kindness" said Anggi who felt lucky to meet Laras.

Anggi was a nomad who came from Palembang to complain about the fate of the capital, but at that time Anggi crooked and all his goods were lost, until finally someone told Anggi about the job vacancies in the city of Bogor.

At that time Anggi was confused because there was no one he knew, but Laras was kind enough to help Anggi.

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

Laras was determined to fight to raise Daffa with the help of Anggi, and fortunately Laras and Anggi's superior named Bu Mia gave permission to both of them to get different shifts on the grounds that they could take turns taking care of Daffa, after the previous Laras told about his household problems to his superiors.

It's been a week Laras stayed in Anggi's contract. Every morning before entering work, Laras sells dishes in front of the Factory by holding Daffa, while Anggi is in charge of shopping for culinary ingredients to the Market.

"Instead, how's the trade, it's up yet?" ask Anggi by taking Daffa from Laras sling, because soon Laras will enter work.

"Alhamdulillah his trade is finished. Dear Daffa, Working mother first son, Daffa do not fuss, be good with Aunt Anggi yes. Orggi I tipped Daffa yes," Laras said by kissing Daffa's cheek before entering the Factory gate.

"You take it easy Laras, I will always take good care of Daffa" Anggi said with a smile.

Laras had already proposed to find a nanny for Daffa during her work, as Laras felt sorry for Anggi, let alone Anggi choosing the night shift. But Anggi refused, especially since there was Daffa, Anggi felt not lonely, and so far Daffa also never fuss if Laras works.

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

Since the departure of Laras from his home, Rahman always dizzy facing the Roses that many want, even the five million money that Rahman got from the commission helped sell the land, has been exhausted all because of the shopping used by the Roses, which are now being sold, so to eat everyday, inevitably Rahman was forced to become a motorcycle taxi driver.

"Mas, I ask for money dong," said Mawar when he was about to leave for campus.

"Rose, you know for yourself that at this time I still do not have a permanent job. Why do you always behave extravagantly," Rahman snapped, thus making the Rose cry.

"Mas, you can once yell at me, it's only natural that I spend such little money, that's all, besides, I also need entertainment so that our child who is still in my womb does not feel stressed," said Rose who always does not want to give up, who always wants to give up, so that makes Rahman feel confused to face the woman who is currently the wife of his sir.
