INSULATION (Troublemaker)
Chapter 217

Maura looked at those in the dining room who were currently eating their food. He felt there was less with the Abhivandya family members. He wanted to ask, but Maura felt bad about it. But if he doesn't ask, he's really curious.

Erland who saw his wife did not go to eat his dinner, he stared fixedly at Maura who was now looking at Anya.

"Darling, why don't you eat? Don't you like the food menu?" erland asked which made the other three adults to stare at Maura.

Maura who was suddenly asked also he wave.

"Ahhh no. The dinner menu is very appetizing. I also want to eat this," Maura said by feeding the food into her mouth.

"real darling? If you don't like to say it, let Mommy tell the chef to bikini the food you want" said Mommy Della.

Maura shook her head.

"No need for Mom. This food is enough for Maura," Maura refused because that is not the reason she delayed her food earlier.

"Thank God you really like the food menu. But if you want another do not hesitate to tell Mommy or Erland or even to the chef directly is also okay. Just do it okay," said Mommy Della, who is owned by Maura. Mommy Della smiled before she returned to focusing on the food in front of her as well as the three men who had returned to eating their dinner, putting aside Maura who is still in confusion and also high curiosity.

No one spoke at the dinner, until they were done with their evening activities. And they all moved to the living room. A little conversing, but not with Maura who continued to pay attention to Anya from earlier. While the girl who seems to know if she is being stared at by Maura, she is just being indifferent and prefers to focus on the television in front of her who is showing a cartoon show.

Maura sighed, then she looked at Erland, raised her face near Erland's ears, then she whispered, "Darling, can we talk for a minute?"

Erland turned her head with one of her eyebrows raised before she nodded her head, signifying Maura's request.

"Mom, Dad, Jio, Erland same Maura to the room first huh. Good night," Erland said farewell to her parents.

Mommy Della, Daddy Aiden, and Zico nodded their heads not to forget the smile they also showed while saying, "Good night."

The simultaneous reply from the three people made Erland immediately hold Maura's hand to go from the family room to Erland's room.

"What do you want to talk about?" erland asked when the two of them had reached the room and were already sitting on the sofa in the room.

"So, you said this afternoon that your brother's family will stay here after years of living in Russia, right?" Erland nodded her head.

"Continue?" erland said so that Maura would continue.

"As for if they want to move here, why do I only see Anya and her father? He means where is Anya's mother? Didn't he move in and settle down here? What is the reason, darling? And why would that woman let go of Anya to grow and develop without her supervision?" asked Maura who finally he could issue all the questions that had filled his mind.

Without Maura noticing, Erland was now clenching his hands. Restraining him from being rude to Maura or hurting his wife's heart or fiction. Because when Erland heard the words from Maura earlier, her emotions instantly rose instantly along with the pain in her heart, it was as if he had thousands of needles piercing simultaneously in his heart that the pain he felt could not be defined. But Erland violently suppressed the pain and emotion simultaneously by sacrificing her own palm as her vent. He did not realize that his palm was spitting out fresh blood.

Maura who did not immediately get an answer from Erland for all the questions earlier, frowned.

"Darling why just shut up? Answer my question earlier. I really want to get the most out of this" said Maura but unfortunately Erland was still reluctant to open his mouth to speak.

"Ck, why are you suddenly silent like this? Did I ask you wrong?" asked Maura who was completely confused.

But unfortunately he still did not get any answer from Erland that made Maura cluck upset, he turned his eyes but accidentally his eyes were looking at the hands of Erland who was bleeding fresh blood. Maura opened her eyes wide and worriedly grabbed both of Erland's hands, trying to open her husband's fist.

"Dear what you're doing. Your hands are open, not in the grip of a kayak gini," said Maura who is still trying to open Erland's fist. But Erland's incision was so tightly clenched that Maura could not open the fist.

Maura who was already in fear at once if Erland why-not because Erland did not also give any response to him, Maura shouted very loudly calling Erland's name.

"Erland! Off!" The loud scream that Maura did managed to bring Erland's consciousness back. The man opened his eyes before he looked at the crying wife holding both hands.

"Darling why are you crying?" asked Erland who was like a fool.

With reddened eyes Maura looked resentfully at her husband and then violently pulled Erland's hand, she carried it right in front of Erland's face.

"Tell me howling because of what? It's look! Your hand is hurt! I cry because of this especially when you don't give me any response! I'm afraid you're why Erland! Hicks!" maura said with the intonation of the sound she raised. Fortunately, the room was soundproofed, otherwise it was impossible for others who heard Maura's voice to think that the couple was having a big fight.

Erland seemed to sigh as she looked at that palm of her hand. He always does this when his emotions are overflowing. On the other hand he was grateful because in this way he did not hurt the people he loved.

Erland now grabbed Maura's body, taking her into his arms.

"You don't have to worry, baby. I'm doing fine. Yes, although it feels a little painful. But not as bad as you think. So you calm down, don't cry anymore" said Erland who actually made Maura immediately release their embrace violently. The woman now gave a sharp look, before she moved from beside Erland to one of the nightstands on the side of the bed.

Erland only watched Maura, until she returned to him with a P3K box. Erland smiled as she looked at him.

"Here is his hand" Maura said with a voice that she softened back.

Erland happily gave her hand before Maura. While Maura, he is now busy looking for drugs that he will use to treat Erland's wounds. And as he began to clean Erland's wounds, the scolding from his lips came out.

"Why did you hurt yourself, baby? What's the matter with you exactly?" maura asked inexhaustibly. And again of the many questions that had come out of Maura's lips did not get any reply from her husband.

Maura clucked as she multiplied her gaze towards Erland who was currently looking at her with a foolish look. Maura, who was upset with her husband, pressed the wound on Erland's palm. Surely it made Erland moan in pain, "Arkkhhhhhhh, dear sick."

Maura who was satisfied to see the expression of pain on Erland's face, he stopped the action with lips that said, "Everything if asked is the answer instead of silence. For a long time if I get upset, I sew your mouth so you can't talk!"

Erland who is still grimacing is now made to creep with the words of Maura earlier.

"Don't dong darling. If it's my lips, you sew it and I eat it how? I can't teach our kids to talk either." Maura rolled her eyes lazily.

"If I don't want to sew my mouth, if I ask you, it's answered!" maura said fiercely.

"Yes-yes dear sorry. So try repeating you want to ask me what?" Erland.

"Why did you hurt yourself?" repeat Maura patiently.

Erland steadied her finished palm on the treat by Maura before she shook her shoulder.

"I don't know either. Maybe I reflexed this time," said Erland who tried to reason that Maura was not suspicious of him. But the reason is absurd.

"Reflex what try? Before your palm is hurt, what do you do?" maura asked who was increasingly clueless about her husband.

While Erland, he scratched his nape that did not itch.

"Actually, honey, I also don't understand why I hurt my own palm. So forget it. This wound was not too deep and it put my life in danger. And we better rest. I have to go to the office tomorrow morning, because there is a meeting agenda with important clients," erland's alibi is not wrong at all because indeed he must go to the office tomorrow to return to his usual activities after a few days he comforted himself.

"Sleep first there. I want to settle all of this first," said Maura, who is possessed by Erland. Then, he walked to the bed. While Maura, he immediately cleaned up the P3K box which had some items in the medicine box that he took out earlier. And then, he caught up with Erland in bed. There was no more conversation afterwards as the two of them chose to rest their bodies.

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

"Do you really want to be here, baby? Don't want to go home with Mom Papa?" ask Erland. The two of them were currently in front of the main door of the Abhivandya family home. He and Maura had already spoken if Maura chose to remain at her in-laws' house while Erland was working. Erland also answered Maura's questions that she asked him last night. Surely Maura was shocked to learn that shocking fact. And one of the reasons she chose to stay at her in-laws' house was because of Anya. He had to get closer to the little girl. Whatever way Maura will try.

Maura nodded her head steadily.

"Yes dear. I'm just gonna stay here. Anyway if I go home there I'm lonely because at home just the same super busy maids. So I better be here. Because if here at least there is Anya with Mommy who accompanies my loneliness when you work," said Maura. Erland did not know his intention to approach Anya. So Maura just gave a logical enough reason to convince her husband.

Mommy Della, who happened to drive Zico and her husband to work, smashes her lips.

"You don't believe Maura's here gonna be okay?" spray Mommy Della with her hands folded in front of her chest.

Erland and Maura turned their heads to the source of the sound.

"It's not so Mom. Erland strongly believed that Maura would be fine here. But Erland was just afraid Maura was uncomfortable" Erland's dream was that Mommy Della was staring at her daughter-in-law.

"Are you not comfortable here, Ra?" Maura quickly shook her head.

"Not at all Mom. Maura is happy to be here" Maura replied.

"See, you heard yourself if your wife is very comfortable here. So let it go if he wants to be here. This house is also his home. So he's free to stay here at any time, his whole life is also pretentious please," said Mommy Della.

Erland let out a long sigh before she turned her gaze towards Maura back.

"Yes if you want to be here. But remember to eat right, get enough rest and not get tired" Erland said.

Maura smiled as she nodded her head.

"definitely. Here too there is Mommy who will remind me that I do excessive," said Maura who was immediately given a thumbs up by Mommy Della.

"Well, I'll go first." Erland kissed Maura's entire face. Then after that Maura who kissed the back of Erland's hand.

"Be careful and work spirit," said Maura, who was adopted by Erland before the man now approached Mommy Della, he grabbed the hand that had begun to wrinkle and then he kissed just before the kiss moved on both cheeks and forehead Mommy Della.

"Erland departs Mom. Titip Maura yes," said Erland.

"Yes-yes. It's gone" said Mommy Della with a little encouragement in the son's body to leave immediately.

Erland just grunted in annoyance. And before he got into his car he said, "Assalamualaikum!"

"Glamma!" the two women's answers simultaneously.

Erland, who heard the answers from her two favorite women, got into her car and ran her car but before the car was really away, Erland honked her horn to say goodbye last time.

Mommy Della and Maura waved until the car driven by Erland was no longer visible in their eyes.

"Let's go in, baby" said Mommy Della, hugging the daughter-in-law's shoulder.

Maura smiled as she nodded. The two women now re-enter the house.

Maura circulated her gaze in all directions, she looked for the whereabouts of the beautiful girl who had managed to tease her heart since the first time they met. But unfortunately Maura did not find the whereabouts of Anya. Maura, who did not want to second guess where the little girl was, chose to ask her in-laws. Mommy Della must know where Anya is right now.

"Mom," called Maura to coincide the two of them reached the living room.

Mommy Della who just sat down her body, now looked at Maura who was sitting next to her.

"Yes, why son? Is there something you want?" Maura shook her head.

"Maura doesn't want anything Mom. It's just that Maura just wants to know where Anya is? Maura didn't see him eating breakfast earlier" Maura said.

"Oh Anya. The boy's still asleep. Maybe he's still jet lag. You want to wake him up? If you want, please. She also had to have breakfast this morning because her milk last night was not finished she drank. She's afraid she'll starve when we let her sleep until noon" said Mommy Della, who made Maura's eyes sparkle.

"Can you Mom?"

"Why not. If you're mah, go ahead" said Mommy Della who made their Maura smile.

"Yes, Maura woke Anya up first. But if you can find out what room Mom is in?" ask Maura. He could not find his own room occupied by Anya from the many rooms in this large house.

"It's in Jio's room. The room was in the corner, the white paint door next to the door painted pink," said Mommy Della, who is understood by Maura.

"Good Mom. Then Maura left first," said Maura, who was adopted by Mommy Della. But just a few steps away, Mommy Della's voice again stopped Maura's steps.

"Wait for Maura." Maura turned her body, facing Mommy Della back.

"Yes Mom?"

"You better go to the second floor using the elevator. Don't go through the stairs. Afraid you are exhausted, Mommy will get scolded by your husband," said Mommy Della, who was adopted by Maura.

"Yes, go then" said Mommy Della. Again and again Maura only responded to the words of her father-in-law with a nod of the head before she continued her footsteps earlier.

In the elevator, Maura linked her hands together to channel her sudden nervousness.

"Huh, calm down Maura. You can get closer to Anya. This is your chance. So do not waste this good opportunity," said Maura instructed herself not to be nervous anymore. Not long after the elevator door opened, Maura went straight out from inside and with wide steps, she approached the room Zico was in.

When Maura was already in front of the room, she let out a deep sigh before her hand moved touching the door knob of the room, opening it slowly. When the door to the room that was accidentally not in the key managed to open Maura, Maura's lips lifted up to form a smile when she saw the tiny body of Anya who was still wrapped in a blanket.

Maura now walked over to the bed in the room. Maura now squatted down so that she could clearly see the face of Anya who was so calm when asleep.

Maura's hand could not stand still, she gave elusan to Anya's head as she said, "Beautiful."

Maura gave a compliment to the little girl which was indeed like reality. Little girl with beautiful eyes, tiny pink lips, pointed nose, thick eyebrows and chubby cheeks. It was so beautiful, just like a living doll. But behind the perfection he has, there is a tough life journey for him. And maybe if Maura were to experience the journey of life as Anya experienced, she was very sure she would not be strong. Perhaps Maura also chose death rather than living life as Anya had passed. And Maura was so proud of that little girl who could be as strong and as strong as that live her life.
