Elsewhere, Baras was opening the door to Lexi's room and behind it, Lexi looked as if she was waiting for him.

"Wahh... Lexi, you're waiting for me huh?" laras.

Lexi just stared at Baras.

"I'm sorry, I made you wait a long time. I ate first" said Laras, who approached and stroked Lexi's head.

Lexi closed her eyes to feel Laras' hand rubbing.

"Lexi, I want to go back home. Later that night I'm here again, it's okay, right?" said Laras who still stroked Lexi's head.

As if Lexi understood what Laras was saying, Lexi immediately opened her eyes.

"But I promise you I'll be here tonight" said Laras.

Lexi seemed sulking to hear Laras leaving. He sat back in his usual place while closing his eyes and draping his front legs.

"I've kept my promise to come here for a while, yes," Laras said again as he walked closer to Lexi, but Lexi did not move in the slightest.

"Lexi," called Laras while stroking the white tiger's head.

"I promise you tonight I'll definitely be here to play with you" Baras promised again.

Slowly, Lexi lifted up one of her legs and held Laras' hand as if asking Laras to promise.

"Promise," said Laras.

"Yes, I want to go out first. The others must be waiting for me" Laras said with a smile and stroking Lexi's head.

Laras walks to the door and sees Lexi looking at her, and Laras closes the door again.

From a distance, Bibi, Nana, and Rayyan sit on the sofa where they ate earlier, waiting for the arrival of Laras.

"Sorry to keep you waiting a long time" said Laras.

"It's okay, let's get out, already" Rayyan said as she stood up, followed by Nana and Bibi.

"Mas, cat?" asked Laras while pointing at Lucy and Lacy.

"Yes, they're coming with us. Let Bibi and Nana take them" Rayyan said.

"Let's help bring Lucy, huh bi?" ask Laras

"It's okay, miss. Let us take them," said Bibi, to be taken by Nana.

"Here you go, let's get out" Rayyan said as she stepped towards the stairs and the exit.

The door opened by itself, Rayyan asked Bibi and Nana to take the cat to the empty room next to Laras' room.

"Auntie, Nana, take the cat first. We'll be back here tonight" Rayyan said.

"Okay, sir," they answered simultaneously.

Bibi and Nana took the cat to the room.

Laras and Rayyan remained above the entrance of the secret underground chamber that had been closed.

"If I don't exist and you want to play here, please play" Rayyan said.

"Then how? This door can only be opened by you, Mas," said Laras.

Rayyan did not reply, walking only to a nearby white rose, where the door opened.

"Close up," said Rayyan.

"What's up, Mom?" ask Laras.

"Let's get your hand," Rayyan immediately held Laras' hand.

"Then what do you want to do with my hands?" ask Laras confused.

Rayyan did not reply, she simply moved Laras' hand to press the square-shaped stone that was the door opener of her basement secret room.

"Your fingerprints are already stored here" Rayyan said.

"So, what do you mean Mas?" ask Laras who still does not understand.

The abandoned barrel, rearranged the flower pot to its original place, then he whispered inwardly, Why does he seem to privilege me? I have no relationship with him. Does he like me? Oh, come on, I'm just fantasizing. The barrel then stepped inside the house.

The stairs to his room. He wanted to bathe and do Maghrib prayers. Aunty and Nana had already taken a shower and went straight to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Rayyan was already in the bathroom, soaking herself in the bathtub.

The clock shows at 19:30 p.m. Aunty and Nana had already prepared the food and placed it on the dining table.

"Nana, can you call Mister and Miss Laras to eat?" pinta aunty.

"Sure, Bi," Nana replied as she went to Laras' room.

Tok... tok... tok. sound knocking room door Laras from outside.

"A moment" answered Laras from inside the room.

"What's up, Nana?" asked Laras when he opened the room door while wearing the face given by the aunt a few days ago.

"O Allah" said Nana in surprise.

"What's going on, Nana?" ask Laras again.

"I was surprised, Miss, to see Miss wearing such a face," Nana said as she stroked her chest.

"I'm sorry, Nana. I just finished Maghrib. Can I help you?" ask Laras again.

"Oh, it's okay. Dinner is ready. Please come down" said Nana.

"Sorry, Nana, I didn't help you and Auntie cook the food" Laras said.

"No problem, Miss. You just go down first. I'll call Mr. Rayyan" said Nana.

"Yes, I'll be down in a minute. Thank you, Nana," said Laras, then closed the door after seeing Nana walk towards Rayyan's bedroom door.

Tok... tok... tok. sound of knocking on the door of Rayyan's room from outside.

"Master, dinner's ready. Aunty asked Mister to come down" said Nana.

"Yes, in a moment," said Rayyan from inside the room without opening the door.

After Rayyan said so, Nana went downstairs to meet aunt at the dinner table.

"They said in a minute, Bi," reported Nana to auntie.

"All right, it's okay. We clean the kitchen first, then we can go with you to the basement, "aunty said.

"Well, Bi." answered Nana

Nana and Rayyan look down together. They head to the dinner table, and Laras calls aunt and Nana to join the meal together. Rayyan also agreed with Laras' request.

After they finished dinner, aunt and Nana immediately washed the dirty dishes. Meanwhile, Laras goes to Lucy and Lacy's room to check on her for a while, and Rayyan sits in the living room waiting for them all.

"Miss Laras, where are you?" ask the aunt who approached Rayyan after washing the dishes with Nana

"At the top, he said he'd go to Lucy and Lacy's room for a second" Rayyan replied.

"Sorry, make you wait a long time" said Laras as he descended from the stairs.

"We just finished washing dishes, miss," said Nana

The clock shows at 20:00 p.m. In accordance with Laras' promise to Lexi, the white tiger, Laras will come again to invite him to play together.

"Auntie, Mas, Nana, I'm going to Lexi's room. Wanna play with him for a while" said Laras.

"Yes, don't be long" said Rayyan, who was taken in by Nana and Bibi.

Laras heads to Lexi's room, while Nana, Bibi, and Laras sit on the sofa eating food brought from above.

"Lexi.." said Nana as she opened the door of the room.

Lexi seemed to know who was coming, she immediately jumped towards Laras as if to be carried, making Laras surprised and leaned against the wall of the room.

"Lexi, you are big, where strong I carry you," Laras said while directly hugging Lexi.

After a few hours of playing with Lexi, Laras felt sleepy. Unknowingly, she fell asleep and Lexi's stomach became her sleeping pillow. Lexi was not distracted and fell asleep as well.
