Maura Search
Maura's sorrow

Andrian looked at himself on the balcony of his room. Over and over again, a heavy sigh came out from the young man's lips.. He pondered at the thought of the superior speech he had accidentally heard.

He really likes Maura. If she is asked to marry, she is not ready. Many things disturbed his mind.

''What are you thinking, Yan?" ask a man who suddenly approaches him.

''Nothing," he answered briefly with a mind glaring far ahead.

''Although, you are not my real sister. But I memorize your guts when there's a problem." The man sucked his cigar deeply, then exhaled his smoke into the free air.

Andrian just chuckled a little.

''Does big brother have no thoughts of getting married? At the age of a brother who is forty years old."

''Do you want to get married?" The man asked back.

Andrian just shrugged both of his shoulders in response to 'not knowing'.

''Quick, why are you asking me such a thing?"

No answer came out of Andrian's mouth, until there was a moment of silence between them. The man also had no intention of opening his voice.

''I accidentally heard that the owner of the hospital where I work, was intending to match me up with his daughter."

''Then, how do you respond?"

''Nothing, I just left without his knowledge."

''Why ''Why?"

Andrian looked at the man for a long time. ''I'm sure you know very well what my reasons are, Brother."

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

Without feeling a few days passed after the humiliation event that night. From that moment on, Maura looked glum. The woman always locked herself in the room.

Maura was asked to stay with Bram at the main residence. With the path of force of course. Maura, who was still afraid of the father's emotions, just complied without daring to argue.

''Your dinner, Miss." A waiter delivers food to the girl.

The middle-aged woman breathed a rough breath.for the umpteenth time, the lunch plate was still intact, the spoon and fork were still neatly arranged in place.

''You must eat, Miss. Later, you are sick," he said to advise his master's daughter.

Maura was just silent not intending to respond, her condition looked extremely apprehensive, pale lips with sunken eyes. Dark circles were clearly visible under his eyes.

Because he felt he did not get a response, he chose to go with the food that was still intact earlier.

''How, Bi?" asked Bram who was deliberately waiting at the door.

''No, Sir. Just like yesterday," he replied with a bow of respect.

Bram breathed a strong breath.

"Yes, you can come back."

''Fine, Sir. Excuse me...."

Bram only notices his daughter's melancholy in the doorway. In fact, he also could not bear to do this to his daughter. However, all the insults were still clearly ringing in his ears. Which old man who willing his flesh blood is likened to a prostitute.

''What's up, Om?" Rayyan's voice managed to shock the middle-aged man.

He followed his eyes into his cousin's room.

"He's still like yesterday."

''Yeah, that's it, Ray. Om was confused how else to persuade him," said Bram without averted his eyes.

''Let me just."

Rayyan rushed in without waiting for her om approval, then landed her body weight right on Maura's side.

There was no response from that woman. His eyes were still empty ahead.

''You don't eat, Ra?" rayyan asked trying to open her voice.

"Eat ya, I'm a bribe," he persuaded

The man grabbed the plate, then thrust a spoonful of rice and side dishes right in front of Maura's mouth.

However, the woman immediately avoided choosing to look away.

"What do you want, Ra?"

Maura immediately turned her gaze towards Rayyan, then stared inside that brown iris.

''Meaning?"

''I want to go back to my old life with my mother." Maura looked blankly forward. "At that time, I was still focused on taking care of my mother, healing her from illness, so that I didn't have time to think about romance issues."

''I'm sorry I ever felt love if it would hurt in the end. I can't stand the pain, hyks-hiks...." He could no longer help himself from crying.

It was so deep that it sounded so sad. He drowned his face in both hands.

''If you want to let go, you will definitely feel better" Rayyan said gently touching the trembling shoulder.

''That's what I find hard to do, Ray," he replied in a raucous voice.

She wiped away the tears that kept flowing down her cheeks.

''Try it! You definitely can. Remember that! Something that is destined to be yours will one day return to its owner. If it's not, then you should be able to mengikhlaskan. Surely, it will be replaced with something better than before."

"Trust me," Rayyan ended her words with her sweetest smile.

''Now you eat. I'm bribe. I don't want you to get sick."

Maura nodded while taking a bribe from the man beside her.

Bram breathed a sigh of relief as his nephew managed to persuade his daughter.

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

Bram looked at his daughter's deep face, her face looking very calm. It was very different when the girl opened her eyes. The sadness will be clearly drawn from the look in his eyes.

''Forgive me...."

''Dad didn't mean to have any heart for you, honey. I just want to do the job you never did."

''Father only wants to protect you from those who hurt you, Maura," he murmured with teary eyes.

He immediately wiped away the speck of tears dripping on his eye pellet. Not wanting to disturb his daughter's sleep, Bram intends to leave the place. So that his daughter can rest comfortably.

''Mom's...."

Maura's weak voice managed to stop the man's footsteps. He turned around, intending to go back to his daughter.

''Mother, hyks-hiks..," he murmured with his eyes closed, a small sobbing also sounded from his lips.

''Maura, it's dad...."

Bram approached the princess. Looking at it, the frail body seemed to shiver.

''Mom's...." That's all that's always said from Maura's lips. However, he also refused to open his eyes.

''Maura, I'm here."

''Jeez, Maura. It's so hot on your body, honey," she said frantically as she gently touched her daughter's hand, then switched to her forehead and neck.

Maura's body was shivering with coldness, with her mouth constantly calling out to her mother.

Bram immediately ordered the servants to prepare the warm water that he would use to compress Maura. Not to forget, he also called Rayyan to check on her daughter's situation.

''The temperature is very high, Om. 40° Celsius, low blood tension. For a while, he had to be infused for additional manpower," Rayyan said after checking Maura's condition.

He's a gynecologist. But, sometimes he could also check on someone who was just a common fever like this.

''Just do your best. Origin, Maura can recover soon," ordered Bram.

He stared at the pale face of the princess.

"Good, Om."

''Um, may I say something, just the two of you," Rayyan said carefully after finishing her task.

Bram nodded, then took the man out to the balcony which was still located in Maura's room.

''What do you want to say?"

''What not to ... Om restores Maura's relationship with Emran. Pity Maura to drop so condition."

''Maura is sick not because of the man, but she misses her mother" Bram replied with her flat face.

Although inwardly also said the same thing, but Bram still strongly denied the allegations.

''Allow Maura to meet Emran, Om. Pity him," persuaded Rayyan.

''Emran also always asked about Maura to me."
