After finishing washing the dirty dishes, Laras climbed the stairs to his room to rest. When Laras wanted to open the door of his room, Rayyan's voice rang out and shocked him.
"Related," said Rayyan.
"Oh, oh, my God.. eh, yes?" asked Laras who immediately turned his body to face Rayyan while stroking his chest
"Sorry to surprise you" Rayyan said.
"It's okay, what's up?" ask Laras.
"Do you want to go to your parents' house, I mean your house? Just looking around or telling them everything?" ask Rayyan.
"Yes, I would love to go to that house, but wait a minute. Let my father, mother, and stepbrother go home and be at home" Laras said.
"Alright, then," said Rayyan.
"Mas Rayyan," called Laras as Rayyan was about to head down the stairs to go downstairs.
"Yes, what's wrong?" rayyan asked as she turned her body towards Laras.
"Will you be able to accompany me if you go home to tell them everything?" asked Laras who lowered his head.
"If you want to ask someone, look them in the eye" Rayyan said.
"Yes," Laras replied while still bowing his head.
"Look at me" pinta Rayyan.
Laras lifted his face and looked towards Rayyan.
"All right, I'll accompany you there. Later I will also bring Azka and my men, fearing that they will do things that are not right," said Rayyan.
"Thank you" said Laras with gratitude.
"Laras, can you come with me for a minute? I want to show you something" Rayyan said as she looked into Laras' eyes.
"Where, Mas?" ask Laras.
"Follow it, Auntie and Nana are already waiting there," Rayyan said.
Hearing Rayyan mention Nana and Aunt Ina by name, Laras nodded his head.
"Alright, then," said Laras.
Then, Laras and Rayyan went down the stairs to a place that Rayyan meant. However, just a few steps down the stairs, Rayyan's phone rang. Rayyan took the phone out of her pants pocket and immediately saw who was calling her. Apparently, Azka was contacting him.
"Assalamualaikum," said Azka.
"Gue just want to tell you, Mr. Alex left for the Netherlands not so at 03.00 pm, but now," Azka said without formalities.
"Yes already, it's okay. Take care of everything, then go back to headquarters. I'll be there tonight" said Rayyan.
"OK, sip... Assalamualaikum," said Azka.
"Waalaikumsalam" Rayyan replied.
After turning off his phone, Rayyan put his phone back in his pocket.
Before they headed to the place in question, Rayyan first locked the front door, then they stepped into the garden behind the house.
"Why are we going to the park, Mom?" ask Laras.
"We're not going to the park" Rayyan said.
"What do you mean?" ask Laras back.
Rayyan stepped towards the white rose pot, then she shifted the flower pot. Look at a square shaped stone. Rayyan pressed the stone, sounding like an open door. Rayyan stepped next to the fish pond in the park, Laras followed Rayyan's steps. When Laras looked down, there was a staircase leading to a place.
"Mas, is this an underground secret room?" ask Laras.
"Yes, only I, Aunt Ina, Nana, and Azka know this. Now you have to know it too" Rayyan said.
"But why should I know, too, Mom?" asked Laras, looking at Rayyan.
"Have it, don't ask too many questions. Come on, let's go in. Aunty and Nana were already waiting there," Rayyan said.
"Alright, come on," replied Laras.
They continued down the stairs. When they were just a few steps below, the door they had just passed suddenly closed itself.
"Mas, how are we gonna get out later?" asked Laras with a slight fear emanating from his face.
"This door will open on its own if I come out with you. But if I don't get out, this door won't open" Rayyan said as she tried to alleviate Laras' concerns.
"Oh, as it turned out," said Laras in a soft voice, but the look on his face still looked anxious.
"Here we go, let's go down" said Rayyan eagerly, hoping to take Laras' mind off his fear.
Barrel simply followed Rayyan every step without saying or asking a word more. In his mind, Laras only felt fear that Rayyan would leave him or even do something evil to him.
They continued to step down until they finally arrived at a large enough room. Inside the room, there were several doors leading to other rooms. Aunt Ina and Nana, who were sitting on the sofa chair, immediately stood up when they saw Rayyan and Laras arrive.
"Sorry, aunt and Nana. We just arrived" Rayyan said.
"It's okay, sir," said the aunt with a nod of her head, approved by Nana.
"Laras, this is a room that no one knows about, not even my own people know about it. Remember that! If something happens to me and I ask you to hide, run here and hide until I pick you up" Rayyan said.
"But what if you can't pick up Miss Laras? The door of this room will only open if the master comes out" Nana said.
"I'll make sure I pick him up" Rayyan promised Laras.
"Nana, you asked Laras to look around this room" said the aunt.
"No need, bi. Let me accompany him. Aunty and Nana can rest here, it's okay" Rayyan said.
"All right, then. Auntie and Nana are going to the kitchen for a bit. Aunty brought a little food from above" the aunt said.
"Yes, bi. We will go to the room first yes," Rayyan said as she showed one of the doors there.
"Yes, go" said the aunt.
Then Rayyan and Laras stepped towards the door that Rayyan meant. Meanwhile, Bibi and Nana go to the mini kitchen in the basement.
"Mas, what room is this?" asked Laras as they stood at the door of the room.
"Just go inside, you'll find out later" Rayyan said
"Why is it so dark? Why are there no lights for lighting?" asked Laras as he was just a few steps into the room. Rayyan was deliberately making it dark, afraid Laras was surprised to see the contents of this room at once.
"Please promise me, don't be surprised to see the contents of this room" Rayyan said, looking at Laras.
"I will try" answered Laras.
"If you're afraid, stand behind me, don't move, and don't yell" Rayyan warned Laras
"Yes, I won't yell" Laras replied.
