By driving her old car, Laura decided to return to her rented house. He'll pack his things today, then go home to the orphanage. After his affairs were completed, he would return to Edward's residence. He is now a prisoner of Edward. Go far away even though Edward will find it. So there's no point in resisting, the money's in hand.
Cleks...
The rented door opened, Laura looked around for a moment, then walked towards her room.
He picked up a small suitcase in the corner of the room, and began to put in the clothes and items he would bring to Edward's place, not much, because Laura also did not have much stuff, either, half of them are also in the home.
After finishing packing, Laura dragged her small suitcase outside the room. Looking around the house again, with sadness, the house he occupied for almost a year, he had to leave to save his sisters. Laura's tears did not even fall.
"Lala... Where are you going with the suitcase?" Yulia's voice rang out Laura's daydream.
"Mbak.. I'm going to mbak's house". Answer Laura
"You got the money ?". Laura nodded her head. "Why did you bring your suitcase? Are you going to stay in the parlour ?" Ask Yulia again.
Laura shook her head, "no ma'am, tomorrow after my business is done with the loan shark, I'll move out". Laura replied lethargic.
"Where are you going to live?"
"I-I.." feels heavy Laura's throat to speak. "I'll stay where the man is". Laura answered while looking down.
Yulia's eyes perfectly patterned "what did you say ? Are you out of your mind, La ? You sold yourself, huh?" Yulia was poking Laura with a lot of questions.
Laura was sobbing. "I'm sorry, but I don't have a choice".
"I've given you another choice, Laura Anastasia, why are you making such a rash decision?". Yulia raised her voice.
"I'm sorry, but I really had no choice, this morning Leo called me and said that if mom was sick, I talked to Lily's aunt, and she said she was sick thinking about this money problem". Laura's cry broke.
Yulia then hugged Laura's body that was shaking from her cries.
"Are you sure of your decision?"
"There was no other choice, and the man's money was already on me".
"Yes, be careful La, take good care of yourself, if the man only wants your body, then please do not let you get pregnant. Because men like that will surely throw you away once he's satisfied".
Laura understood Yulia's words, she nodded her head in Yulia's arms.
"So now you're going to the parlour ?" Continue to Yulia again.
"Yes mbak". Laura replied as she outlined a hug and wiped her tears.
"You be careful on the road yeah, you bring a lot of money now".
"Yes, pray for me. Hope everything's okay"
"Amin, go. Come to the restaurant tomorrow if the guy lets you out".
"Yes mbak".
They walked out of the house. Laura locked her house. Looking back at her house, Laura steadied herself entering her car.
Without Laura noticing, from such a close distance Edward watched Laura's movements. Yes, Ed is alone. Because on Sunday is the date schedule for Johan with his girlfriend. After getting Laura's home address, Ed decides to monitor Laura, he will escort Laura all the way to her parlor.
*****
After a 2-hour drive, Laura arrived at her orphanage yard, followed by Edward's car, which was not far from the gate of the orphanage.
Time has set at 2 pm, the stomach was cheering for filling. After making sure Laura arrived safely, Ed decided to look for food stalls or restaurants around the orphanage. After that he will return to the capital and wait for the arrival of his girl in his luxurious penthouse.
"Good day, sir". As usual Laura greeted the gardener who was at work. With a bag filled with money, Laura left her suitcase in the car so as not to become a question later.
"Piang non". The gardener is friendly.
Laura smiled, she then stepped foot into the home, not forgetting she greeted her sisters she met in the courtyard of the home. Some play together, some play foursome even aloof. That was the scene that Laura often saw upon returning home. The laughter of her sisters was something she always missed while in town.
The main door of the parlour was wide open, with firm steps, Laura entered it. It was seen that his brother Ian was sweeping in the middle room.
"Siang brother Lala". Ian replied happily.
"You alone deck ?" Laura looked around.
Yes, on Sundays it becomes a habit of the children of the orphanage, whose age is 8 years and over doing a thorough cleaning in the area of the home.
"There's brother Leo and the others still washing in the back".
"Mom and aunt where's the deck?" Ask Laura again.
"Auntie's in mom's room, mom's still sick. And the other aunt is still cleaning the other rooms".
"Have you had lunch?".
"Sister, this morning we cleaned the library and after lunch, we continued again".
"Alright, then brother go to mom's room first". Laura said as she ruffled her sister's hair.
Laura knocked on Maria's mother's door, though it opened slightly, but she did not enter. He should be polite even though this is also his home.
"Come in" came Aunt Lily's voice from inside.
"Mother, my aunt's coming home" Laura said as she entered the room.
"Your son is coming ?" Mary's mother's voice sounded trembling.
Laura knows, there is sadness and a deep burden of the tone of the voice.
"Yes ma'am, I've got the money, I'm calm. We're not gonna lose this parlor". Laura replied as she approached Mary's mother's bed and sat her body on the side of the bed.
"Laura.. my son". Maria's mother grabbed Laura's body and hugged her. The cries of the two women of different ages also broke. Aunt Lily who had just seen him joined and hugged them.
After being satisfied crying and outlining their embrace. They also chatted.
"Where did you get that kind of money in such a short time, son?" Ask Maria's mother
"Huf..." Laura breathed a long sigh. He told what he had experienced yesterday to his mother and aunt. But a little story has been changed. He said if the person who gave him the loan money, asked him to be his assistant by staying at the person's house.
Her mother and aunt did not believe Laura's story, because Laura earned money so quickly and easily. But Laura remains convinced that she actually met a good person. And hopefully, Edward is a good guy.
"So from tomorrow you're moving into that guy's house, son?" Ask aunt Lily
"Yes bi, maybe he's afraid I'm tricking him. Therefore after my business was done, he asked me to go straight there".
"May he be a good man, son". Mother of Mary
"Amin Ma'am".
"Have you had lunch, son?" Ask Mary again. And Laura shook her head.
"Jeez Laura. Come with aunt to the kitchen, we'll have lunch. Auntie will prepare food for you". Said aunt Lily.
"Yes bi. My mother deposited this money. Tomorrow we both give it to the loan shark". Laura left the bag of 300 million on the side of Maria's mother's bed.
"Yes, son, go fill your stomach first. Don't let you get sick". Mother Maria smiled little.
"Yes Mom. Excuse me first".
