The Substitute Mother for Zahra
07

Dinner at Rama's house was quite fun, because Laras was already familiar with the Rama family.

There was an occasional sound of Papa insinuating that Laras and Rama immediately formalize their relationship.

While Rama occasionally glanced at Laras hoping Laras gave a good response but in fact Laras still responded to ordinary course.

After dinner Rama drove Laras home because it was already night.

Both are now in the car,

"I'm glad you came home" said Rama still did not expect Laras to come.

"I'm bored at home so I'm at your house, I promised I'd make you." Laras smiled towards Rama making Rama rustle.

"I'm sorry if you don't like my family's jokes that always make us get married."

"It's okay any time, relax anyways I know they're just joking." said Laras.

"They are serious." Rama's mind was lethargic, again Laras just thought this was all a joke.

"You sure I'm anther to the house? not at your sister's house?" ask Rama.

"I'm back."

"Who is Trus Zahra?" ask Rama.

"She said she wanted a babysitter."

Rama only ber ohh ria only because you know maybe Laras is still not ready to tell a story with him.

They've reached the front of the house.

"Thanks yes, even ushered in when I took a taxi is okay" said Laras take off his seatbelt.

"Where might I let you take a cab tonight gini."

"Geez the attention anyway, oh yes sorry if I did not stop by, it's too bad to be raided by the citizens" said Laras while chuckling.

"Yes, the hunt's in."

Laras opens the door of his car "Ras.." call Rama make Laras look back at Rama.

"Why?" ask Laras.

"No matter what." Rama's kekeh made Laras shake his head in surprise.

Baras immediately entered the gate of the house after getting out of Rama's car.

"I'm afraid you refuse me again Ras if I wish you now, judging from your usual response." Rama's mind then drove his car away from the house of Laras.

Baras was shocked when he opened the gate of the house and there was Dion's car there.

More surprised when Laras was about to enter the house saw Dion sitting in the front seat of the house, looking pale and worried.

"I called your number but it's not active." Dion looks happy to see Laras coming home.

Baras remembers if his phone died because the battery ran out.

"What's up? my phone's dead sorry." said Laras.

"Zahra is sick and he keeps calling your name" Dion said with a worried look on his face.

Instantly Laras also panicked "Oh my goodness, let's go there" said Laras.

Both of them enter the car, Dion drove the car fast enough to make Laras afraid, but also Laras can understand Dion is very worried about Zahra.

40 Minutes they reached Dion's house, lucky at night so the streets were quiet not jammed.

Laras immediately went up to Zahra's room, there Laras was quite surprised to see Zahra lying limp, his forehead was given a fever-reducing plaster heard occasionally whimpering to mention his name.

"Zahra.." call Laras.

"Ante Ayas.." Zahra opened her eyes, glad that Laras was in front of her.

"Ante Ayas again has a job dear, sorry to leave Yaya" said Laras.

"Ante don't go again huh? let Papa do the work for us." beg Zahra.

"Yes Ante will not go again, but Yaya also has to promise to be healed yaa" said Laras who was immediately embraced by Zahra.

After Zahra went back to sleep, Laras came out of Zahra's room to see Dion, asking what he should do now that Laras was also confused.on the one hand he could not leave Zahra, on the other hand he can't stay here.

Laras approached Dion, who was visibly upset, sitting in front of the television.

"There's something I want to say to you, sit down" Dion said as he looked at Laras.

"Yes Mas" Laras sat beside Dion.

"I'm really confused as to what I should do because the position is very difficult" said Dion and Laras just nodded.

"Wouldn't you marry me?" dion asked, which made Laras shocked in disbelief.

"What does it mean, Mas?" tanya Laras is still tangent.

"It's only a temporary marriage until Naya wakes up, so you can stay here." explains Dion.

Laras seemed very hesitant, "I promise I won't do anything to you, if you don't believe we can make a deal" Dion said.

"By Zahra." Another one of Dion's true words caused Laras to collapse.

"Yes everything is for the sake of Zahra." Inner Laras.

"But I can't answer now Mas" said Laras.

"Well, think about tonight I'll wait for your answer tomorrow morning" said Dion, who was immediately taken by Laras.

Both of them entered their rooms. Tonight Laras could not sleep thinking of Dion's brother-in-law.

Laras wants to marry once in a lifetime with the person he loves and loves him & with Dion, Laras does like the man but Laras also realizes that Dion only belongs to Naya's sister and she can't possibly have Dion completely.

Laras realized that, Dion asked her to get married because it was worrying about the state of Zahra no more.

Laras sighed softly, He was really confused as to what He should do.

On the one hand Laras wants to continue with Zahra but on the other hand Laras does not want to be a widow one day.

...

The next morning, Laras goes to Zahra's room and sees that the little girl is already cheerful, Zahra is healed.

"Ante Ayas, don't be a bully again, will you? Zahra won't be naughty" Zahra said.

"Yes, the ante will not go again, Yaya is cured" said Laras.

"Udah dong Ante, Ante has come home" said Zahra with sumringah.

Now the position of Laras is really a dilemma once, whether he accepts Dion's proposal only, do not care if later Laras will be a widow from Zahra is fine.

I don't know if Laras is still not ready to meet with Dion and give an answer.

Laras is sure that Dion is waiting for his answer, Laras will buy a little time, let Dion go to work and will answer it later in the afternoon when Dion has gone home from work.

But in reality all was not according to Laras' wishes because Dion arrived to enter Zahra's room and still wearing casual clothes.

"Didn't he work?" inner Barrel.

"Papa's beloved Haloo is healed" said Dion glad to see his daughter was cheerful again.

"Ante Ayas has come home so Yaya is healed." Zahra said cheerfully.

"Because Zahra is healed, papa will walk the road today" said Dion who immediately made Zahra cheer.

Duh why be gini is the inner Laras.

TBC.
