In the morning, the clock shows at 07:00. The barrel was playing with the fish in the pond alone. He was so happy, visible from his smiling face.
As Baras walked by the pool to move his seat, he lost his balance and almost fell. Fortunately, Rayyan suddenly came from behind and caught and hugged Laras waist with one hand.
"Are you okay?" rayyan asked Laras after confirming the position of Laras to be able to stand again.
"I'm fine, thank you," Laras replied with a bow.
"Do you still want to sit and play in this pool?" ask Rayyan.
"Yes, I'll be in in a moment" Laras replied while remaining down.
"Alright, I will accompany you because there is something important I want to tell you" Rayyan said.
"Alright, we can sit here alone," Laras said as he sat directly by the pool, putting his feet into the water without seeing Rayyan's face.
Rayyan simply followed the words of Laras. He also sat by the pool and put his feet into the fish pond, not forgetting to take off his footwear.
"What would you like to talk to? what important things do you want to talk about?" laras asked Rayyan while looking at the fish playing at his feet.
"Sorry," said Rayyan while directly staring at Laras' face.
The barrel that was wiggling its legs slowly inside the fish pond suddenly stopped and fell silent. His gaze did not dare to move, he lowered his head to look at his feet inside the pond.
"I'm the one talking to you, I'm here, not down there," Rayyan said in a soft voice while still staring at Laras's face.
"I'm sorry, what's it for, mom?" tanya Laras still looked down.
"Look at me, Laras," pinta Rayyan.
Laras also ventured to see and look at Rayyan's face.
"I'm sorry for scolding you, yelling at you and making you cry last night" Rayyan said, staring at Laras's face.
"It's okay, ma'am. I was wrong, I did not know the return of the favor" said Laras.
"Laras, you're not wrong. I was too emotional. I'm sorry, huh?" said Rayyan still staring at Laras face.
"Mas, I've forgiven you. Its alright. You have helped me too. Thank you very much. Sorry if I.." said the unfinished Laras.
"Ssttt, you're innocent. Don't apologize to me" Rayyan said as she placed her index finger almost touching Laras's lips, as if asking him to shut up.
Laras fell silent and stared into Rayyan's eyes, not daring to speak anymore. Suddenly, Rayyan's phone rang.
"See, I pick up the phone first. You don't go anywhere" said Rayyan.
"Okay, Mas" answered Laras.
Rayyan picked up the phone, she stood up to get a little away from the edge of the pool where they were sitting. Apparently, the phone was from his men who were assigned to look for Mr. Alex's address.
"Assalamualaikum, boss," said one of them.
"Waalaikumsalam" Rayyan replied.
"Boss, we've met Mr. Alex and asked him to come to the boss' house. He's coming at 10:00 in the morning, boss," said Rayyan's men.
"Well, thank you," Rayyan said briefly.
"Together, Boss. Then, we'll go back to the base" said Rayyan's men.
"No need to go to base, come back here. I still need your help" Rayyan told his men.
"Good, Boss. We'll go back to your house. Then, we leave first," said Rayyan's men who were going back to Rayyan's house.
"Yes, be careful" said Rayyan.
"Waalaikumsalam," Rayyan replied and immediately kept her phone in her pants pocket.
Rayyan returned to meet Laras who was still waiting, sitting by the pool playing with the fish in it.
"I'm sorry for a long time, yeah" Rayyan told Laras.
"No, not for long" answered Laras.
"Room," call Rayyan.
"Yes, what's wrong?" laras answered while looking at Rayyan.
"Are you right with what you said? If after finding Alex's address, you're leaving this house?" rayyan asked, looking into Laras' eyes.
"Hmmm... Why is it?" laras asked while shaking his feet in the pond, his gaze turning to the fish playing near his feet.
"I asked seriously, Laras. Are you serious about what you said?" ask Rayyan back.
"Hmm, yeah. Belom know anyway. Will find a place to stay first" replied Laras.
"Are you sure you want to get out of this house after meeting Mr Alex?" rayyan asked back, who was dissatisfied with Laras' reply.
"If you want me to leave immediately, yes. But if you still want to accept me at home, yes, I will stay here" Laras replied, looking at Rayyan's face, but his legs were still swaying in the pool.
"If I don't let you leave this house forever, how?" rayyan asked Laras.
"Yes, I will not go, meaning I am still accepted by the mas here, in the mas house. However, if you have dared to be rude to me or hurt me, yes, I better just go, than I am tormented," Laras replied lightly, saying, looking at the fish in the pond.
"Well then," said Rayyan, already turning her gaze straight ahead.
"Why do you ask like that? Are your parents going to come home here and you're afraid of being discovered if you bring a woman to your house?" said Laras without pause.
"Laras, both of my parents are dead, and I am an orphan," Rayyan said as she looked ahead.
"I'm sorry, I don't know, and I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you. I'm sorry to make you sad" said Laras, looking at Rayyan's face.
"It's okay" said Rayyan.
The clock has shown at 09:00, but they both still play in the fish pond. Then, Rayyan conveyed a message delivered by his men, who had arrived and were seated in a chair near the entrance deliberately reserved for relaxing.
"Room," call Rayyan.
"Yes, Mas. What's up?" asked Laras while looking towards Rayyan.
"Mr Alex is coming soon" said Rayyan, looking straight ahead.
"What's? Did you find Alex's address? It's serious, right? It really is, right? No lie, right?" laras said excitedly, throwing a lot of questions at Rayyan.
"Only one ask, I am confused as to which one used to answer," replied Rayyan.
"Without I repeat, Mas certainly remember all my questions," said Laras.
"Hmm, okay, I replied. Yes, I've found Alex's address. He promised to come to this house at 10:00. I'm not lying, I'm serious" Rayyan replied as she looked at Laras's face.
Very happy, Laras spontaneously hugged Rayyan's waist who was beside him.
"Ehh, sorry, Mas. Sorry, I'm too happy. Sorry, I was not on purpose" said Laras who immediately returned to his original position.
Rayyan did not reply, she simply nodded her head, but her gaze remained straight ahead.
"Now, we're waiting for Alex in the living room" Rayyan said.
"Okay, Mas" answered Laras.
