SECRET MAURA
Season 2: (PNS) The Strange Dinner
Maura and Maurice woke up late, almost passing the twilight of their sleep if they did not hear the knocking of the door repeatedly from behind the door of his room.
"Emmfh, who would knock on a door like that?!" maura said when she just woke up, her hoarse voice was so heavy.
He opened the door in his laziness, when it opened he was startled by the sour face of Nala, Nayra and there was Kevin there too.
"Still your life! I thought I was dead, sleeping like a hibernating bear! Wake up, time is almost approaching magrib. Want to sleep with your demons?!" nayra ketus.
Maura immediately looked at her watch and saw the clock was almost approaching 6 pm, magrib time in the local area.
"God! I think it's still noon, Maurice, Maurice! Wake up!" maura's scream woke her best friend up.
"What the hell, May?! A moment, a little more" Maurice's lazy reply, he hugged his roll even tighter.
"Geez, soon dusk is coming! Pamali if sleeping at that time" said Maura while continuing to shake Maurice's body.
While the three people outside only looked at them while shaking their heads.
"Based on outsiders, there's no adab!" nala ketus.
Then he and Nayra left them there, and Kevin went into the room and woke Maurice up.
"Maurice, wake! It's not good with the people in this house" Kevin said.
Maurice was just as surprised as Maura, when it was getting dark. They hurriedly made up their beds and closed the windows and turned on the room's lights.
"Kevin, wait for us outside. We want to take a shower" Maura said.
Kevin came out after Nala and Nayra, they were gathered in the living room. He saw that there were some family members who were gathering, some were young teenage children.
It seems that these are some of the youngest members in this house, whether they are children or grandchildren of the adults in this house.
"Hi, sit here" a teenage girl not far from Kevin greeted him.
Kevin came to him, he tried to be as friendly and as possible in front of the family members, however he had to keep the good name Maura.
"Hi, I'm Shalimar. Sinta's son" said the girl extending her hand.
He looks more friendly and kind in welcome than Nala and Nayra.
"Hi, I'm Kevin. Maura's theme" he said, welcoming the girl's hand.
He felt a slight sting on his hand as he touched the girl's hand.
"Hem, apparently he was trying to attract my attention" Kevin muttered with a meaningful smile.
The girl was a little stunned at her smile, she got more and more misbehaved as Kevin tried to sit nearby.
"So, you're also going to live here with Maura here?" shalimar asked as he changed his seat slightly.
"No, just tonight we're staying. Tomorrow morning we have to apply to our new campus, after which we will meet the chairman of the dormitory to prepare our room there" Kevin explained everything.
"We? Who are you the same?" shalimar asked curiously, because Kevin repeatedly mentioned the word 'we' earlier.
"Oh, that means me and Maurice. He's also my friend and Maura, ah! There they are" said Kevin, Maura and Maurice happen to come to see them.
When Shalimar's facial expression changed when he saw their arrival, he only heard stories from his cousin's sisters that Maura and her friend were very beautiful women.
And now that he had seen it firsthand, when they greeted him he only replied with a cynical smile.
"I think as pretty as anything, I'm prettier than I am!" he murmured inwardly, he could not accept that the two of them rivaled her beauty.
Especially for Maura, you can eat with us. And his friends will eat together with others" said Sinta.
"Ish, Mama! Maura wasn't quite old enough to be able to eat with the elders, if she could I could too right?" shalimar said he did not accept it.
"Silence, this is at the request of grandma! You can't argue if you don't want to be punished by grandma's law! Come on, Maura.." said Sinta.
She was so firm to her children but when talking to Maura her facial expression and attitude instantly turned gentle.
Maura invited to a room that is quite large, in the room it has some ancient furniture and ornaments that are quite strange according to him. In the middle of the room there is a dining table that is quite large and long has a seat of 13 seats, two seats look empty.
It turned out that all the older family members had already gathered to enjoy dinner, they had not touched their food at all, perhaps waiting for his arrival.
"You sit there well, before eating we wait for grandma to come and we eat" said Sinta ma'am.
It turned out that the two empty seats were for him and the grandmother, Maura, were sitting on the empty seat at the very end. He looked at the people who were there, their facial expressions were so flat and unfriendly to him, except for his father's brothers alone who looked so friendly.
"Ehem!" my grandmother came out of a room next to the dining room.
Maura never knew if the dining room was also connected to another room, because grandmother entered from another door that was different from her.
"Before the meal starts I want to introduce to you all who are here, at the end of the chair there is my grandson.
His name is Maura Hartawijaya, my other grandson. He's been living with his father abroad with his family, now he's coming to school here.
I hope that his arrival can change our circumstances, our customary traditions can survive until our posterity goes on!
The child is the only one so our hope as the next successor, take care of him, serve him well, make him comfortable as comfortable as possible.
All right, I think the introduction is enough, I don't accept any criticism or any advice, my decision has been unanimous. I want you all to accept my decision!
Let's eat" said the grandmother, ending a little of her speech.
Everything seemed so obedient and obedient to him, none of them protested or simply expressed their opinions.
While Maura still looked confused by all this, she had a little trouble digesting her grandmother's words earlier. What did he mean, his successor? Maintaining the customs of their traditions that still survive today? Change their lives?
"What are you thinking?! Eat there, love it don't like you have to eat!" the grandmother snapped her daydream.
"L-yes, Grandma" he answered nervously.
He ate unsettled, his mind mixed. Though his mission came there to eradicate the cult of black magic that is practiced by his family is hereditary from the ancestors and ancestors.
Because of that he had to lose his mother, his brother Tari's relationship with his father was almost destroyed, and now his family has to deal with the world of magic and even his friends are dragged into the problem.
And now the grandmother and her entire family want him to continue his throne as the elder of the sect? Will Maura be affected or not?
While in the living room, Kevin and Maurice are being interrogated by Maura's cousin brothers.
"So you two are Maura's best friends, coming here to attend school? Wow, your friendship is full" Shalimar said as he mocked.
"Well, I envy you guys. I don't have a friend like that" said one of his other brothers.
"Well, that's how our friendship is" Kevin replied still kindly, in his heart annoyed once asked like that.
It seems like tonight will be a long night for the three of them.
