INSULATION (Troublemaker)
Chapter 211

The couple is currently on their way to court. Along the road no one opened his voice, because Maura was busy enjoying the view on the side of the road they were passing while Erland, the man was focused on driving. Even so, their hands were clinging to each other.

Their journey was accompanied only by the sound of the roar of Erland's car or another car, until suddenly...

"Dear, stop!" maura shouted that made Erland brake suddenly the car he was driving at this time. Fortunately, there was no other vehicle behind them. If only there was, Erland could have made sure that the accident would happen.

Erland stroked her chest which was currently beating unruffled, between being surprised by the screams of the wife and also fearing that something she did not want to happen earlier. But he could sigh in relief when he saw the situation was still safe on the highway so Erland now chose to marginalize his car.

When the car he was driving was safe on the roadside, Erland's gaze was immediately directed towards Maura who turned out that the woman had opened the car glass by gushing her head out, and then looked at her, the gaze of the woman's eyes was fixed towards the back which made Erland curious so that the man followed the direction of Maura's eyes.

He frowned when he saw a little boy who was probably only 8 years old approaching them. In the little boy's hand there is a large plastic bag black, whether in it what it contains Erland does not know. But Erland was quite curious, why did his wife just wave her hand to the little boy? What would Maura do to the boy? Many questions popped into Erland's head. He did not want to ask Maura, he would only see what his wife would do.

Maura smiled sweetly at the little boy when he reached the side of their car.

"Hay, what are you selling?" maura asked the little boy, of course, by opening the car door to make it easier for her to chat with the child.

The question from Maura made the little boy smile before he opened the plastic bag to show what he was selling to Maura.

"I sell snacks market Kak. But since I didn't have a basket to put these foods in, I was forced to put them in a bag. But Brother take it easy, all the food I sell already has plastic in every food so it will not be mixed from one food to another," explained the little boy.

"Yes-yes I know because I have seen it myself" said Maura as her hands busy choosing the food she would buy.

As for the little boy, he only grinned the horse after hearing the reply from Maura earlier.

"Well. Brother wants to buy that. How many?" maura asked by showing 5 market snacks that she had taken earlier.

"It's 10 thousand Kak" said the boy.

Maura nodded her head.

"If all the food you brought was how much?" ask Maura back.

The boy seemed to think for a moment by remembering how much food he had brought to sell. And long enough he thought at once counting, he finally replied, "300 thousand feet."

"300 thousand plus my door was 10 thousand so it was 310 thousand right?" The boy nodded his head.

The nod made Maura now turn her head towards Erland with her hands facing her husband. Erland slit one of her eyebrows, as if she said, "What?"

"Please ask for money, 310 thousand. Buruan did not wear long," said Maura full of demands that make Erland shake his head, he thought Maura himself was going to pay but it turns out his wife was asking him. Jeez, I swear by whatever Erland wants to laugh with his wife's behavior. But on the other hand, he was also proud that at least his wife had the initiative to help others.

Erland did not say much, he took out his wallet which he had lived in the car for a long time. Erland spent money with a value of 100 thousand amounting to 5 pieces then gave it to Maura's hand.

Maura frowned as she earned more money than she had said.

"It's mostly," Maura said.

"It's okay. Just give it to the kid" Erland said.

"Are you really?" maura asked in disbelief. She thought her husband would be angry with her for trying to help others. Erland's face looked flat. But unexpectedly her husband also wanted to help the little boy.

Erland nodded her head with a smile on her lips that automatically made Maura also smile before the woman turned her gaze towards the boy who was still faithfully standing next to their car.

"Now, big brother trade you." Maura handed the 5 pieces of money to the boy. Surely the boy was surprised by Maura's words.

"Don't you really want to buy my merchandise?" ask the boy who is possessed by Maura.

"Thank you, brother, thank you" said the boy by taking the money in Maura's hands.

But as he counted it, he stared at Maura.

"Sister, the money is more" said the boy by handing two pieces of money to Maura back. Maura pushed the child's hand slowly while saying, "That's for you. Consider it a gift from Brother."

"Yes Allah Brother. Big brother is good. Thank you very much, brother. May the sustenance of Brother be added many times by Allah. Aamiin's."

"Aamiinu. Thank you for praying," said Maura, who was taken by the boy.

"Oh yes Brother, this is food that has been Big Brother." The boy handed over the big bag to Maura. But just like before, Maura pushed the child's hand away while shaking her head.

"Make you. You sell again this meal yes, let your income today double and so you can buy work for your sale," said Maura of course make the little boy surprised, not only he but Erland was the same, he was also surprised by the words of his wife.

"Aren't you sure?" Maura nodded her head.

"Ehhhh but wait a minute," said Maura suddenly then he turned his head towards Erland.

"Darling, you want no market hawker? If you want to take gih," said Maura who made Erland aware of his daydream.

Erland shook her head with a smile and her hands were stroking Maura's head, "No dear. I don't want to eat a market snack. Let the boy resell those foods."

Maura nodded her head enthusiastically.

"Suami Sister no longer wants to eat hawker market. So you sell it again."

With teary eyes from being moved, the boy continued to say the words of gratitude he had directed to Maura as well as to Erland.

The boy smiled and following the example of what Maura was doing, the boy said, "Excite!"

Maura was anxious too he scrambled the boy's hair.

"Yes already then Brother left first huh. Remember what Brother said, spirit is okay." The boy nodded his head obediently.

"Until we meet again, champ. Bye," said Maura while closing the car door but not with the glass of his car.

He waved to the boy of course replied by him.

"Bye Brother is good. Be careful on the road. Thank you very much" said the boy who was greeted with a smile by Maura.

While Erland, he turned his head in the other direction, his hand wiping away the tears that had dripped earlier quickly. He was really moved by the persistence of the boy and was also moved because it turned out that his wife who was once very bar-bar turned out to have a good side in her heart also had a high sense of humanity and Erland was very proud of his wife.

Erland, who did not want to get more dissolved in the grief, immediately ran his car but before he sounded the horn of his car as a sign he said goodbye to the boy.

While Maura, even though the car was already running, Maura still waved her hand at the boy until they completely moved away then Maura stopped her hand and then closed the windshield next to him.

Maura was silent by looking at the market hawker earlier. Many things made him learn from his brief encounter with the boy. Until it makes the water drip just like that.

Erland who had stolen a glance at Maura and saw his wife was daydreaming that ended up shedding tears, her hand now moved to hold Maura's hand as she said, "I'm proud of you, baby. Thank you so much for helping that kid. Love you dear, really love you."

Erland kissed the back of Maura's hand which made his wife smile at him with one hand on the other she used to wipe her tears.

And the intention of Erland who had wanted to reprimand Maura, ended up not so he did when he found out the reason Maura did the thing that made his heart touched. But if later Maura repeated it, Erland would not hesitate to reprimand Maura.

...****************...

The car boarded by Maura and Erland has now been parked neatly in the parking lot that has been provided by the court. Because the time has also shown at 9 less than 5 minutes, Erland and Maura immediately approached the place to be used for the trial of Mama Rina's case. Seen in the room was already full of many people who will watch the proceedings today and not a few journalists also attended there.

Surely the presence of the two of them shifted the attention of the reporters earlier so they flocked to approach Maura and Erland.

The unusual Maura is highlighted by the camera, intending to take cover behind Erland's body. Unfortunately his intention was not realized when Erland actually hugged his waist possessive. Maura had rebelled but whispers right beside her ear stopped the action.

"Honey, it's time I introduce you to all the people in this country so that no more women will want me as their partner. So, raise your head, baby. Erland's wife Drake Abhivandya must not bow her head. Don't be afraid, there's me by your side."

Maura looked at Erland as her husband moved his head away from her ear. As their gazes met, Erland nodded her head in a sign that Maura should do what she said earlier.

Maura took a deep breath, before exhaling it slowly. Then with the encouragement given by Erland through the whisper of the man earlier, Erland now no longer lowered his head. He stared at the cameras that were pointing at him. But even so his hands tightly grip the back of Erland's shirt.

Erland, feeling the grip, stroked Maura's waist, giving his wife peace. And the cleavage, Maura loosened the grip of her hand on Erland's shirt. Here, Erland could only raise his voice.

"For your questions about this happening issue. You can get the answer when the trial starts because the trial will be explained in detail about the root of the problem that is happening. I will only introduce to the public if the woman next to me is my legal or religious wife. I will protect him even if my own life is at stake. And if there's someone who doesn't intend to be with him then that person will also be dealing with me as well as with my family," erland said very firmly while warning people out there not to mess with his family.

"I think that's all I have to say. Thank you, my wife and I resigned" continued Erland. And regardless of the reporters who continued to bombard him with thousands of questions, Erland hugged Maura's body so that she would not be nudged by the reporters and brought her into the courtroom.

Maura could sigh in relief as the reporters were restrained in front of the wide-open courtroom, said a member of Daddy Aiden's team who helped police to secure conditions around the court. Afraid during the court process, Mama Rina as the suspect ran away from there.

"Ehh Mommy's son has arrived. Here son, sit here" said Mommy Della, patting the empty seat next to her.

"Mom, Maura will be a witness so he is not sitting here" Erland said.

"Ck, Mommy knows too. Tapikan this later the reader of the evidence is of course the table in front there occupied by the crazy woman. And after that was done, Maura sat there. Maura will also be called when the time comes. So he just sat here first" said Mommy Della.

"Eh so, huh?" Mommy Della nodded her head, responding to a question from the son.

"So Maura, you're sitting here" said Mommy Della, returning with a smile and a nod of her head before she actually sat down next to Mommy Della, followed by Erland sitting next to her.

"You will not be nervous and do not be afraid, just answer honestly when asked by the judge later," said Mommy Della by rubbing Maura's head fondly.

Maura who had circulated her gaze, now she looked at Mommy Della with a smile that she showed again as she replied, "Yes Mom. Maura will answer honestly whatever the question will be."

Mommy Della smiled at Maura's reply.

"Yes, then you calm yourself here." Again and again Maura nodded her head obediently. And after that there was no more conversation between the two of them, because Mommy Della was now talking with her husband, while Maura, the woman again circulated her views, looking for the family of Mama Rina. He had met Orla before so Maura had no trouble finding the whereabouts of the woman if she was present at her mother's trial.

But as far as the eye could see, Maura did not see Orla's nose. Whether he could not find her or indeed the woman did not come to give encouragement to her mother? I don't know Maura doesn't know either.

Minutes have passed, and the trial has now opened after 15 minutes later than scheduled. Mama Rina who was newly dribbled in he gave a hostile look towards the Abhivandyas especially towards Maura. But unfortunately the gaze was not touched by the distinguished family, especially Maura who was still busy looking for the existence of Orla. Maura had no intention of Orla, he was just curious how the woman would react when reading the decision of the criminal trial for her mother. Is it shocking to the point of crying or just plain? I swear by whatever Maura's interpretation of it is. But unfortunately, his curiosity will never get the answer because Orla did not come to the trial of Mama Rina as well as Papa Jaya. They felt that there was no more business with Mama Rina after they cut off their relationship with the woman. So the two decided not to come and only see the judge's verdict later on television.

Back in the courtroom, the voices were noisy, now disappeared immediately there was only one voice sourced from the judge in front of there who was reading the mistake that Mama Rina made with the article that she had violated. Everyone there listened to every word that came out of the judge's mouth.

Long enough reading earlier, until it takes almost an hour and after the laughter reading is complete now it is Maura's turn to give his testimony before the judge and everyone in this room or even all the people of Indonesia who was watching through the television screen.

Erland stroked the back of Maura's hand as she stood up from her seat, saying, "Don't be nervous, baby. Spirit is okay."

Maura smiled when getting the spirit of the soul mate did not forget he nodded his head. Then after that, Maura stepped her feet towards the chair that faced the judge directly. Do not be asked again how the current condition of Maura's heart, which is certainly his organs are in the middle of a disco in there. This was Maura's first experience in the trial so it was no wonder that she was quite nervous. But fortunately Maura can control himself so that he who was nervous half to death it could not be seen by the people around him who actually considered himself very brave because every step of his foot was even until he had sat down, not a second did he sit his head let alone look at his family as if he asked for help. Instead Maura raised her head to remember Erland's remark that said if Erland's wife Drake Abhivandya should not bow her head. As a result of her husband's words she made a handle to face a fairly stressful situation like this.
