The clock shows at 05:00 in the morning. Nana rushes to get up and does the morning prayers, then goes straight down to the kitchen to help make breakfast. In the kitchen, there was already Aunt Ina and Nana who were preparing the morning meal.
"Assalamualaikum, aunty, Nana," said Laras carefully so that they would not be surprised.
"Waalaikumsalam," they answered simultaneously.
"Miss, why are you here? You better go to the room. Later the young master saw you, afraid you were scolded," said Nana who continued to talk and ask.
"It's okay, Nana. I came here on purpose to help you make breakfast" Laras replied with a smile.
"Laras, you better wait in the room. Later, after the cooking is ready, the aunt will call you to eat," pinta aunty is worried that Rayyan will be angry if Laras out of the room without permission like yesterday.
"Bored barracks in the room continue, bi," Baras fights with a sad face.
"But, Laras, later we will be scolded by the young master if it comes out without his permission" the aunt said.
Somehow since when Rayyan was in the kitchen, she suddenly said "It's okay, bi. Let him do as he pleases. I won't scold her, but remember, don't leave the house without my permission."
They were shocked to hear Rayyan's voice, especially Laras. He did not dare to look at Rayyan's face, only lowered his head and replied in a small voice but could be heard, "Thank you, sir," Laras said.
Just this time Laras spoke and called Rayyan "master." Usually, she was silent, lowered her head, frightened, then cried.
"Yes, equally. Don't be afraid of me anymore. I don't like to hurt women if they don't make fatal mistakes. I'll protect you from people who want to hurt you" Rayyan unconsciously said such words in front of Aunt Ina and Nana. Aunt Ina really hoped that her young master would melt down with this poor girl.
"Master, aren't you working today?" ask Rayyan aunty
"No, bi. Today and the next 2 days, Rayyan did not enter the office, but worked from home only," Rayyan replied as she walked towards the dining table.
Aunty Nana and Laras continued to cook breakfast. After the cooking was finished, Bibi Nana and Laras arranged it on the dining table that Rayyan had been waiting for. After arranging the food on the table, Aunt Nana and Laras wanted to return to the kitchen, suddenly Rayyan's voice sounded like commanding.
"You accompany me to eat here" Rayyan told Laras.
"But, sir, I want to help Bibi and Nana in the kitchen" Laras replied
"Without reason" Rayyan rebuked sternly, not wanting to be denied.
"Alright, sir," said Laras, lowering his head and moving the chair to sit down.
Laras kept his head down or looked the other way, he did not dare to look at Rayyan.
"Is my face down there?" ask Rayyan.
"Ti-no, sir," said Laras tremblingly.
"Take me breakfast," Rayyan ordered while deliberately making Laras move so as not to just silently and for Laras to make his voice.
"Good, sir. What does the master want?" asked Laras doubtfully.
"Fried rice and fried chicken only," said Rayyan.
"This, sir. His breakfast. Go ahead," said Laras as he gave the plate containing food to his master.
"Thank you," replied Rayyan who directly ate the food that had been taken by Laras
"Together, sir," Laras replied as he sat back in his place next to Rayyan because Rayyan asked for it.
The barrel again made no sound, however, and did not dare to look the slightest bit towards Rayyan who was eating sometimes he just looked down and towards the kitchen because his mind always wanted to go there to help Bibi and Nana
After Rayyan finished breakfast, Laras cleaned the dining table. He brought a dirty plate into the kitchen and washed it and put it back in its original place. When he finished, Baras returned to his room.
In the afternoon, Laras was bored in the room. He wanted to play in the park to see the fish in the pond. Barrel came out of his room and closed the door he wanted to step towards the stairs, not realizing that Rayyan was also heading towards the stairs to fetch drinking water.
"where you going?" rayyan asked suddenly, making Laras surprised.
"Eh.. sir, I'd like permission to go briefly to the back garden. I want to play with the fish in the pond" Laras said.
"Well, go" Rayyan replied.
Rayyan went down quickly to the kitchen, while Laras headed for the backyard. Arriving in the backyard, Laras went straight to the fish pond. He put his feet into the pool water, Laras who was cool playing with fish in the pond was suddenly surprised by the sound of Rayyan who had been behind him.
"May I ask?" suddenly Rayyan said.
"Sure, sir," Spontaneously Laras replied.
"Why did your father throw you away so much that he didn't think of you as his own son?" rayyan asked as she sat beside Laras, she also put her feet into the fish pond
"I don't know, sir. I really did not know about it," Laras replied sadly.
"I'm sorry if I made you sad and reminded her again" Rayyan said.
"It's okay, sir," replied Laras.
Rayyan looked at the stern face of Laras, she kept looking straight ahead.
Out of nowhere Laras got the courage to talk a lot to Rayyan
"Sure, may. I will try to help you as much as I can." replied Rayyan quickly who also looked at Laras face intensely as if waiting for a word from Laras mouth
"Will you help me to find Mr Alex's address?" said Laras
"Sir Alex?" ask Rayyan.
"Yes, sir. Before my mother became ill and died, she asked me to find Mr. Alex if anything happened. However, because my condition at that time was not possible, I could not go to his house. My mother gave me Mr. Alex's home address, but the address record is now in the house occupied by my father, mother, and stepbrother today" Laras told Rayyan.
"Do you remember where you put the address records?" rayyan asked Laras.
"Still, sir. I still remember it," answered Laras quickly.
"Well, I'll have my men infiltrate your house to retrieve the address" Rayyan told Laras.
"Good, sir. Thank you very much, sir," said Laras unconsciously holding Rayyan's hand because of her happiness.
"Sorry, sir. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" said Laras, looking down and keeping his hand away from Rayyan's
"It's okay, that's it. Let's go in. It's dusk" Rayyan asked.
"Yes, sir," answered Laras.
"Oh yeah, Laras, tonight at 12:00, I'll knock on your door. We'll get together, I'll tell you where it is" Rayyan said.
"Okay, sir," answered Laras.
The two of them entered the house and headed to their rooms. In Laras's room, he sat thinking and said inwardly, "What is meant by 'men' by Rayyan? Who exactly is Rayyan? And what's his job?"
"Ah, never mind, the important thing is that he won't hurt me and will help me find Mr. Alek's address," laras said to himself as he headed to the bathroom for ablution and then performed Maghrib prayers in his room.
While in Rayyan's room, she also thought and spoke in her own heart, "Why would I want to help her? I have never been like this before."
"Ah, no matter what, I have kept my promise to help him find the address" Rayyan said. He immediately contacted three of his men to come to his house at 10pm tonight, as they were about to take action at 12pm.
The clock had shown at 12:00 just as Rayyan was knocking on the door of Laras' room gently.
"Tok. tok.." The sound of the door echoed as Rayyan knocked.
Laras opened the door of his room and was shocked to see Rayyan who was accompanied by three men dressed in black uniforms behind him.
"Sir...who are they?" asked Laras with fear emanating from his face.
"Don't worry, they won't hurt you. They are my men, and they will infiltrate your home later" Rayyan said with confidence, trying to calm Laras down from feeling as anxious as ever.
"All right then, sir. I believe in you," Laras replied while trying to control his fear.
"All right, now follow us. We will plan the next steps" Rayyan asked sincerely, inviting Laras to join the meeting.
"Yes, sir," said Laras respectfully, following Rayyan and the men.
They all went to the room that Rayyan had determined. The barrel runs behind Rayyan, while Rayyan's men follow her behind Laras.
They finally arrived at the doorstep of the room that Rayyan was referring to. Rayyan opened the door by sticking her palm against the wall near the door.
They entered the room, but suddenly the room became bright as if the lights would turn on automatically when someone entered it.
Barrel fell silent and said nothing. He was very surprised to see that his surroundings were filled with all sorts of firearms. Laras was shocked and sat down, he could not believe what he saw. Rayyan is a Mafia. However, before he could process that information, he was startled by the sudden sound of the door closing.
"Sir, sir, it turns out that the master is a mafia," said Laras stammering.
"Yes, Baras. Ii'm sorry. I lied to you, but trust me. I'm not gonna hurt you. I will help you as much as I can and will protect you. But promise not to tell anyone that I'm a mobster" Rayyan told Laras.
Baras did not reply, he just nodded slowly. He could not stand, one of Rayyan's men took a seat for Laras to sit, while the other was preparing to lift Laras to a chair.
"Let me alone," said Rayyan as she stepped closer to Laras.
"I can do it myself, sir. It's okay," said Laras, trying to stand up to sit on a chair, but his legs were unable to support his weight. Fortunately, Rayyan quickly caught his body before touching the floor.
Rayyan lifted Laras body and placed him in a chair.
"This, Laras. Drink first," said the aunt who suddenly appeared from behind.
Aunty's voice succeeded in making Laras surprised, and he stared at the aunt until the aunt held out a glass in front of him she was not aware
"Aunt Ina, auntie knows that Mr Rayyan is a mobster?" ask Laras.
"Aunt Ina, auntie knows that Mr Rayyan is a mobster?" ask Laras.
"Yes, Baras. Sorry, auntie didn't tell you everything, because according to auntie, aunt has no right to tell you this" she told Laras.
"Yes, aunt. It's okay," Laras replied, taking the water that Ina's aunt had brought out and drinking it straight away and returning the glass to the aunt who was still standing there
"It's the bi, the glass, thank you so much bi," said Laras
