Soul Pain
Chapter 88

Abi meets Larisa in the room to talk heart to heart about her worries if they move to Jakarta. Larisa who was sleeping in bed immediately sat when she heard her husband enter.

“Kyra where?” ask Larisa.

“She's playing with her cat in villa Kania.” Abi was sitting on the edge of the bed staring at his wife.

“What? Brother wants to persuade me to fulfill Papa's request?” Larisa was with an annoyed face.

Abi shook his head and grabbed his wife's fingers. “Kakak not here just want to chat with you. If indeed you do not want us to move to Jakarta papa, but you must be able to give a clear reason so that Mama and Papa can understand.”

“Whatever reason I'm less clear what else?”

“Of course the reason you gave them is hard to understand. Just because the worry is not clear why, not logical, dear.” Abi spoke very softly even though Larisa spoke a little carried away by the emotions of the remnants last night.

“So, according to, Brother, this concern of mine is not worth understanding?!”

Abi went up on the bed and sat down cross-legged to his wife. “Now try to explain to Brother, what are you so worried about if we go back to Jakarta?!”

Larisa fell silent then took a deep breath and exhaled. He was also confused about how to explain his worry to Abi. What was clear was that his heart was extremely reluctant and heavy if they were to leave this island. “So, I can't explain it. That's definitely me-.”

Abi nodded in understanding that he did not force Larisa to explain anymore. “Do you believe that God has arranged our lives?”

The woman nodded.

“Then leave everything to God. Whatever happens later you do not need to be afraid, because Brother will always be there for our little family. One more thing, remove those bad thoughts and prejudices from the head and heart, because sometimes it can be a prayer.”

Larisa shook her head quickly. “I don't want our family in trouble. I had enough pain when I was depressed. Now I want us to live happily ever after.”

Abi stroked his wife's head. “The name of life will not be happy forever, dear. We will definitely face problems in the future. So, you must be ready if someday our household is tested again by God.”

“You don't feel sorry for Mama, Papa? They're old, you know, but still working. Mama and Papa should enjoy their old age, sitting sweet at home spending time with grandchildren.”

Larisa rolled her eyes, as if lazy with Abi's words to melt her heart.

Abi just smiled. “We pray dzuhur, yuk! Already adzan. Ask God for guidance and peace of mind, then you think again with a big heart and clear mind.

They finally came down from the bed to the bathroom to wash.

“Drink the milk first.” Larisa gave the princess a glass of milk.

“Still, Mama.” Kyra gulped it down and put the empty glass into the dirty dishes.

“Now go up to the top Papa first, Mama want to finish the dining table.”

“Let's watch it above.” Abi immediately raised Kyra towards the second floor.

Together with her domestic assistant Larisa cleaned the dining table from food scraps. After her work was done the woman caught up with her son and husband.

“Loh, have you slept?” Larisa gives a kiss on the cheek of her daughter who is already asleep in the lap of the Papa.

“He must be tired, all day playing on the same page Boni and Kania,” explained Abi.

“Move to his room. Let us also rest.”

Abi carried the child to the room, until there he put Kyra on the bed and covered the little girl. Larisa turns on the sleeping lights and then turns off the headlights. Both of them immediately headed to their rooms.
