"If that's the case, I'll get out of here" Laras said.
Dion was surprised by Laras' decision, but he also understood the position of Laras.
"Alright, if that is the decision mbak Laras, not we expel but it is already the rules in our environment like this, if only mbak Naya is at home maybe we do not dispute the existence of mbak Laras, we do not question the existence of mbak Laras, once again we apologize if it has to be like this" said Mr. Rt who also felt guilty.
"No matter what sir, thank you for being allowed to stay here for a few months" Laras said.
Dion had only been silent since then because he also could not do anything to defend Laras.
After Mr. Rt and two residents who went to Dion's house had gone home, now Laras immediately entered his room to pack.
He's leaving tonight too, seen Dion also entering Laras' room.
"Are you sure you're going home tonight, why not tomorrow morning?" dion asked to see Laras packing his clothes.

"No, I'm just anther" said Dion.
"I've already stopped by the taxi Mas, mas nemenin Zahra aja" said Laras who was directly asserted by Dion.
"Sorry Mas yes, can not defend you here, mas itself also tangent to how to" said Dion.
"Udah mas, just relax" said Laras.
"Thank you for the last 3 months you've taken care of Zahra" Dion said.
"Yes Mas, if you don't mind me, do not take care of Zahra again if Zahra can be brought to my house" said Laras.
"No way, I can't be far from Zahra anyway the distance of your house to the office is quite far, you calm down I'll find a babysitter for Zahra." explained Dion.
"Yes already mas if that." resigned Laras, actually Laras still want to be with Zahra but want how else it should all be like this.
"Yes, I've been waiting outside" said Dion.
"Mas." Dion had not had time to come out had turned around again because of the call of Laras.
"I'm sorry for what I asked yesterday.'' said Laras.
"Ohh, I've missed it" said Dion smiling.After the arrival of Mr. Rt, Dion was no longer upset with Laras was now feeling sorry for Laras who had to part with Zahra, Dion knew enough that Laras was so fond of Zahra.
Laras nodded and smiled in relief.
Finished packing his goods, now Laras drags his suitcase walking out of the room to Zahra's room to say goodbye but Zahra is asleep.
"Non Laras sure you want to go?" tanya Bik Inah was sad while Dion stood beside Bik Inah looking at these two people with Iba.
"Yes Bi, sorry if Laras is wrong with Bi Inah yes, and also Baras nitip Zahra ya Bi" said Laras hugging Bik Inah who is now crying.
"Yes Non, Non Laras often play here" said Bik Inah, who is nicknamed Laras.
There was a taxi in front that was ordered by Laras. Baras immediately walked out to approach the taxi.
"I went home first ya mas" said Laras who was only embraced by Dion, not forgetting Dion waved at Laras who was already in the taxi that also waved at him.
Dion let out a long sigh, He still bothered with what He had to say to Zahra tomorrow if Zahra asked him.

Actually, the distance between the house Laras and Dion is not too far only takes an hour.
Laras entered his dusty house because he had lived for 3 months and also never cleaned.
"I'd better go to bed and clean up tomorrow morning." mutter Laras immediately laid his body in bed.
"It feels like a long time ago I left my room." Laras said before falling asleep.
The next morning Laras woke up and immediately clean the house, finished clean clean house he cooked the style, the style, just cooking instant noodles because there are no ingredients at home and he is also lazy to go to the market to shop.
During the day when it was finished with his work, Laras bangtung work especially because usually he always looks after Zahra, hearing Zahra's speech but this time it felt lonely and empty again.
Because of the gabut, finally Laras went to the house of Rama, to keep his promise if He will cook at Rama's house, Surely Rama will be happy if home from work there Laras at home.
Soon Laras glide to the house of Rama which is not so far from the house of Laras.
"Darling, you don't come here very often?" asked Rita Mama Rama when Laras was at Rama's house.
"Yes Ma, Mbak Naya is still in the hospital so I take care of Zahra" said Laras who was used to calling Rita as Mama because indeed Laras was very close to the Rama family.
"Oh my goodness, so is Naya still unconscious? patience yes dear." said Rita clutching Naya's body into his embrace.
"Yes Ma, doain aja mbak Naya Cepet cured, Kasian Zahra Ma, still a child" said Naya sadly.
"Yes Mama must be doain trus, yes yuk already entered, mama also again make cake." invite Rita.
"It just so happens that Ma, ni Laras also has been shopping to cook the tomb of malem" said Laras showed a plastic bag containing vegetables that he had just bought in the stall near his home.
They finally struggle in the kitchen, Mama Rita makes Muffins and Laras cook for dinner.
"Nih cobain mama's muffin," said Mam Rita offering a muffin that is still warm.
"Mama's handiwork is the best" said Laras giving his thumbs up after tasting Mama's warm muffins.
"Eh there is a prospective sister-in-law." chirped Dita Rama's sister who had just returned home from college made Laras blush embarrassed.
"What the hell Dek, he likes to be seduced" said Laras embarrassed.
"Since I really want to be the mbak Laras mbak in-law me" said Dita again.
"Not only you deck, Mama also want to have a son-in-law like Laras" said Mama Rita made Laras more misbehavior.
"Come dong Ma, tell Mas Rama to immediately ngesahin mbak Laras." pinta Dita.
"Mbak Larasin was asked to not be disahin with Rama" Mama Rita's tease made Laras more wrong behavior.
"Udah ah, I'll go home if tempted by trus." The sulking barrel made Mama Rita and Dita chuckle.
It is not Rama who has not expressed love but Laras who is not ready to accept Rama as a lover let alone a husband.whether what makes Laras worried, Laras did only consider Rama as a friend no more.
