Maura Search
Unilateral Decisions

"Sister, pull both corners of your lips! pretend to be happy, even if you don't want this to happen" whispered Emru to her twin sister.

''I'm not the one who can live in pretence" Emran replied with his cold face.

The festive atmosphere in a five-star hotel ballroom seemed insignificant to the man. His soul felt empty, even though he was in the crowd. In his heart was only one name.

"Maura," he grumbled.

At the time of seeing the woman who had been disturbing his mind for a few days, was looking at the friendly arms of a man. Eyes flushed with teeth grinding in order to withstand the emotional turmoil that suddenly struck.

''You see what the hell, brother?" asked Emru who was curious, then she followed the direction of the sister's eyes.

''Ooo, so it's a girl named Maura."

"Hmmm, pretty pretty you can't escape her charm, sister. But baby, he already has a peng ... Mmppt." His words were cut short because Emran immediately stuffed his twin sister's chatty mouth with a piece of cake that was nearby, then the man waltzed away without feeling guilty.

''Base of Polar Bear! Play with people's mouths." Emru cursed the actions of her brother.

''But it's good too, it's smart that you pick the cake." He devoured the piece of cake that was in his hand.

...----------------...

''Doctor Maura," said a hijab-wearing woman.

''Uh, Doctor Resti," said Maura was no less friendly when she met her co-workers first, while working at the Emran family hospital.

''How are you? Long time no see already brought a stick with me."

"Good news, you alone?" Maura asked back while speculating like women in general who had not met long.

''Oh, yes. Meet Andrian, my lover." He continued to introduce the man who was with him.

''Oh my goodness ... Very handsome," praised the hijab-wearing woman, "i thought you were in a relationship with Dr. Emran because you were seen together so often."

Maura smiled wryly hearing that. "No, we're just friends."

''Introduce it too, he's my husband Rion." Resti also introduced the man who was with her.

Maura only showed a small smile accompanied by a slow nod to say hello.

"Oh yeah, where's the little guy? Didn't you come?"

The two women were still engrossed in the conversation, until the voice of a middle-aged man cut off their chatter.

"I was called my father, I went there first."

Resti nodded to allow the departure of his friend.

The woman approached the father without removing the link of her hand to the arm of the man with her.

''Dad will bless you if you are in a serious relationship" said Bram, looking at the scene.

''Ish, what the hell, Dad? Don't start," he said.

''You see, Drian. She looks like her mother likes to sulk," said Bram accompanied by a laugh.

''Don't keep teasing me, Dad. What did you call me?"

''Dad will introduce you to your father's colleagues." said Bram.

''But, Dad...."

''It's all right. Come....''

Maura changed hands to her father's arms, then walked in the man's footsteps.

''Adrian, borrow your lover first yes," said Bram with a glance at his daughter.

"Please, Sir."

When Maura was accompanying Bram in conversation with one of his business partners and his wife, suddenly a middle-aged woman approached with a cynical speech.

''Ooo, is your profession now turning into a rich man's mistress, Miss?" Divia grinned.

He planned to humiliate Maura in front of many people without knowing who exactly the middle-aged man who was with the girl was.

Bram who heard that also immediately clenched his hand tightly. He did not accept that his daughter was insulted like that. Really, he wanted to deny but he also wanted to see how far the Divia had gone.

''Miss Divia, don't you know if she...." The wife of Bram's business partner tried to tell.

''Hemm, what a pity," said the middle-aged woman.

''It's good if you're self-conscious" said the Divia quickly.

''You must want to let me know if this girl is Mr. Bram's mistress, right? That's right from their closeness alone it's very visible." Divia glanced at the cynical Maura hand link on the father's arm.

''You misunderstood me, Madam...."

Again and again, the wife of one of Bram's business associates tried to tell but a warning from her husband saying 'don't interfere' undoes her intentions.

''Do you misunderstand how? Reality is in plain sight still willing to deny." Divia chuckles cynically.

''Don't you go to the hospital for selling your body to her" Divia said heartlessly.

''Luckily, my son I've kept away from cheap women like you." The middle-aged woman still continued her speech without her knowing if Bram's anger had flared up to the crown.

''And I am very grateful to you, dear Lady Divia. For keeping him away from your son and your family. I will replace with a better family" Bram said with a circus.

''Ooo, are you going to marry her, sir? Please just take that cheap lady. But, I suggest, don't keep her! If you need to throw it away."

''Anton!"

Bram shouted calling his assistant regardless of Divia's incitement.

''Me, Sir."

''Disconnect all my cooperative relationships with this family company, without exception. Also withdraw all my shares that are on them, I don't care about the consequences they have to bear." After saying that, Bram pulled his daughter's hand to leave the place.

''Ready, Mr."

The divia who heard this was made to not believe.

''I did not expect, Mr. Bram. Just because of a lowly woman you did it all to my family."

''Be quiet, Madam!" Anton's voice filled the room, so many pairs of eyes were glaring at them.

''I suggest, stop your insults on Mr. Bram's daughter. Before he acted more cruelly than this," he said in a warning tone.

''What?!"

''The woman whom you consider to be lowly, none other than Maura Princess Riyana is Mr Bram's biological daughter."

...----------------...

Bram dragged the hand of his daughter, so Maura had to be shaken to compensate for the step of the father. Andrian who saw it was immediately following to ascertain what happened because he was busy enjoying the excitement of the event without knowing the commotion that occurred.

''I warn you, Maura. Never once have you approached this family again" said Bram.

''But, Dad...."

''There is no rejection, Maura!"

Maura clenched her mouth tightly at the anger clearly drawn from the look in her father's eyes.

Their steps came to a halt when a man came in with his own face.

''Do you want to be here?" asked Bram in his cold tone.

From the look on his face, the middle-aged man did not want to be friendly with the man.

''Allow me to ask for your daughter, sir," he said with a fond look.

Bram just chuckles cynically. "Do you have no face? Or you haven't realized what your family's done to my daughter."

''From now on, never see my daughter again."

''Can't do that, Dad. I love him, he did this at my request. It's not entirely his fault." Maura tried to defend Emran.

''No need to defend this man, Maura! Neither this man nor his family deserve you."

Maura's tears just shed without being held back. She did not expect that her love story would end like this.

''I warn you once again, Stay away from my daughter! Because I'm gonna set him up with someone."

Maura gasped at the father's unilateral decision.

''Who, Dad?"
