INSULATION (Troublemaker)
Chapter 63

The clock now shows at 7 am. After the incident at dawn that deliberately Erland made Maura salting not play, now he is made wonder because until now there is no movement at all from the woman.

"Is he still salting to this day? Or is he ashamed to see me again? Why hasn't she appeared from her room yet?" Erland kept guessing what was going on in his wife's room to the point that Maura didn't come out either. Erland had prepared breakfast for the two of them. Even Erland had kindly cleaned up this entire house which should now be Maura's duty. But since he was making the salting of his wife, he took over Maura's duties. Let it be okay for Maura to be free from her sentence for one day.

Erland tapped her finger on the dining table with her eyes fixed on the door of Maura's room.

One minute, two minutes, until 15 minutes later Erland is now standing from his sitting position.

"I have to see what he's doing in there right now" Erland said. His decision was already unanimous, he would be determined to check on Maura's state. Somehow Erland became worried about the state of his wife because frankly Maura was a careless man. For example, in two days he hurt himself. And because it made Erland now began to worry that Maura would add to the wounds on his body for his careless actions.

Erland who had arrived at the door of Maura's room, he immediately turned the knob of the room door without knocking first. To hell with courtesy, Erland did not care because what he cared about right now was the state of Maura in there. And since the door of the room was not locked by Maura, Erland could easily enter the room. Where when he had entered the room, his eyes were immediately fixed on the bed on which there was Maura's body on her back with a pillow that covered her face.

Erland who saw Maura's position, he immediately ran towards Maura. Arriving on the bed, he immediately sat his body next to Maura's body with his hands now moving to remove the pillow from Maura's face.

Erland was increasingly made to worry when she saw both of Maura's eyes closed. Erland was very afraid Maura deliberately ended his life just because Erland had made him wrong by covering his own face with a pillow so that he could not breathe and ended up dying in vain. And to make sure everything, Erland's hand now moved to check the pulse in both Maura's hands as well as in his wife's neck.

Erland's sigh sounded quite loud, the man was completely relieved as he still felt Maura's pulse. Where it immediately got rid of his negative thoughts about Maura who killed herself and ended up dying.

But wait, Erland must still ensure the state of Maura who was closing her eyes, whether the wife was just asleep or even unconscious alias fainted. And because of this Erland chose to pat Maura's cheek gently while continuing to call his wife's name.

"Ra, Maura," erland said with his hands still patting Maura's cheeks until there was movement from the woman until finally Maura who was disturbed by what was done by Erland was his eyes open which again p that made Erland sigh in relief.

"Alhamdulillah," murmured Erland by stroking his own chest that had been dug to see Maura's eyes closed. If Maura had fainted or died, he did not know what to tell his wife's family about the cause of Maura's death or fainting. Yes, he said Maura died by suicide and the reason his wife committed suicide was because of salting him. Just imagine it has been very, very make Erland tickle himself especially until it happened. Amit-amit.

"Erland," he called out, which made Erland now look at him.

"You slept?" asked Erland to make sure he returned. Maura seemed to nod her head in response to the question Erland had asked her, before she now sat down.

"Sorry sleep. What time is it?" maura asked as she glanced at the wall clock in the room and how surprised she was when she saw the clock there already showed at half-eight in the morning.

"God! It's eight and a half. My God, why didn't you wake me up earlier. If I think I will finish cleaning this house later in the day," said Maura who was already confused. Actually he did not matter if he would finish cleaning the house until noon, but the problem now was that he was very afraid if Erland would add to the punishment for him.

And because of that, without washing your face first, Maura rushed out of her room which was certainly followed by Erland behind her.

"You don't have to clean this house anymore because I cleaned it earlier" Erland said when she saw Maura was holding a broom and ready to clean the house.

Maura who had also had time to wonder why her house was so clean she finally got an answer as well. But because it actually makes Maura now ketar-ketir, fear Erland will increase his sentence. And still with a broom in her hand, Maura walked up to Erland who was standing in front of her room with her chest crossed.

"Erland, I'm sorry I really didn't know that I fell asleep until I finally woke up late. Er, I'm sorry and don't add to my punishment. Promise me I won't repeat this mistake again. Tomorrow I will wake up like this and I will make sure that I will not fall asleep again" said Maura who actually pleaded with Erland. He will not be ready if Erland adds punishment for him because honestly the punishment given by Erland is now very heavy for him. And he would never have imagined what he would be a dime later if Erland really added to his punishment.

Erland who saw the clear face of his wife and his lips lifted, formed a very, very sad smile for Maura as his hands now moved to shake his wife's hair.

"Go back to the room. Wash your face. I waited in the dining room" Erland said after saying that he stepped out, leaving Maura staring at her passing with questions in her brain.
