INSULATION (Troublemaker)
Chapter 73

Erland continued to pacing in front of the door of his room with an occasional look toward Maura's room which had not been opened by his wife. It might have been 3 hours that Maura had locked herself up and when Erland wanted to enter, she had just knocked on the door of the room, Maura had prevented him on the grounds that Erland could not enter or find him before the man knew what he had done wrong. I swear by anything when Erland heard from Maura, he was made to gawk in disbelief. He told me not if he was just an ordinary man not a psychic. But even so Erland tried hard to think, what mistake he had made to the extent that Maura did not want to meet him.

Erland ruffled her hair in frustration. How not frustrating try if from now on he did not find the mistakes he had made.

"I swear by anything, I give up! Facing women is more difficult than dealing with very problematic clients and other problems in the office. Huh!" said Erland who was dizzy enough to think about all this. Even a rough sigh he had let out which meant Erland was really frustrated and gave up at the same time.

Erland had resigned if indeed he would continue to be inhabited by Maura, he had also resigned if Maura would nag him again like earlier. So it is better for him to rest his body and mind.

Erland walked with a lackluster body towards her bed. Arriving at his bedside, he immediately slammed his body on the soft mattress. And after that Erland closed his eyes, but only a few seconds, Erland's eyes opened very wide even he had also sat back down his body. He seemed to know now what made Maura angry at him. But he also hesitated about the guess that now twisted in his brain. The guess he related to Maura's words before they left from the front of the bookstore.

"Is it possible just because of that?" erland asked himself.

"Although Maura was angry just because I was called mas by the store clerk earlier, what reason was she angry? Isn't the name of the mas natural for a man?" Erland was still wondering even though he was very sure that his questions would not get the answer if he did not find out first.

Again and again Erland was now scrambling her hair. I don't know how much his hair was targeted to forget the frustration that the man was feeling at this time.

"Bodoamat lah bodoamat. It was enough I was made dizzy just because I was told to find myself the mistakes I had made. And I don't want to think the reason Maura was angry was just because of the call from the store clerk. Let Maura himself say it if my guess is true. Even if it's true and Maura won't tell me why, I don't care either. I've had enough of myself to be dizzy with this problem" Erland said as he stood up from his sitting position earlier. He intends to approach Maura's room asking about his guess is right or wrong. If the guess was wrong then Erland was already unwilling to think any more small things but actually made himself almost crazy.

Erland impatiently knocked on the door of Maura's room when he was standing in front of his wife's room.

Where the repeated knocking from Erland made Maura who was still moody in her room cluck in annoyance. Without asking, he knew who was behind the door. If not Erland who else? In this house there are only two of them.

Muara turned her eyes towards the door of her room which was still tightly closed until the voice of Erland calling her now entered her ear.

"Maura!" call Erland who made Maura pout her lips.

"I told you already. Don't call me and don't meet me or talk to me before you-" Maura didn't finish what she said 10 times when Erland kept knocking on her door. And of course because it makes Erland memorize the words of Maura.

"I already know the reason you're angry like this with me," said Erland who made Maura speechless. But due to his maximum kepo, he again raised his voice.

"Oh yeah? If you know, say it!" maura's orders were still reluctant to meet with Erland.

"I'll say it if you come out."

"So. Say first. If it's true, I'm out."

Erland looked to be sighing harshly. It was better for him to give up this time. If he doesn't want his brain to boil.

"All right I'll say. The reason you are angry and locked up like this is not even going to meet me because of the words of the bookstore clerk who called me mas. Right?!" Maura fell silent again because what Erland said this time was the truth. He also did not know why he felt angry and upset when he heard the call made by the store clerk. Even if as he thought earlier if the term mas can only be used to refer to a husband or brother. Shouldn't Maura be no problem anyway he also has no sense at all with Erland if there is a hidden intent from the store clerk who called Erland with that name? But that was all inversely proportional to what Maura was currently feeling.

"Can't it be that I'm jealous of Erland?" murmured Maura. A moment later he shook his head.

"No. Why am I jealous of a nice guy like him. My anger is not because of jealousy but I feel alien to the name of the mas. Yes, surely that's the reason," said Maura reassured his own heart if he was not currently jealous of Erland.

Erland who never got an answer from Maura, he again knocked on the door of the room blindly and said, "Where? Is my guess right? If so, get out now!"

Maura who was still thinking about her feelings was surprised. But only for a moment, because after that Maura now moved from the side of the bed that he had been sitting on then he rushed to the door of his room, and then he rushed to the door, to open the door of the room according to what she said earlier if Erland really understood her mistake then she would open the door and meet her husband. Lagian Maura is also worried if she continues to inhabit Erland, maybe the door of her room will be damaged which ends her or Erland will spend money to fix it. Remember, Maura now is not the Maura that used to be. The woman already looks a little different, she who used to like to spend money then at this time she does not like to spend money more precisely save, save, given his family's mediocre economy, he makes the most of the money he holds for the benefit of his life and Erland's rather than for a moment's pleasure. Especially to replace furniture or anything in this house that has been damaged, just imagine Maura quite dear if you have to spend money on things that are not too important.
