The Love of a Mr. Nauder
Arrivals

"Why are you looking at me like that, Maudy?" steve asked as Maudy continued to settle in with a strange highlight. For some reason, now his feeling is that Geo's change is because of this man.

Maudy wakes up, shaking her head as she recalls that if Geo refuses, Steve always tries to persuade the boy to accept what he is doing. 'Ah, no, maybe it's just my feeling.'

"Yes already then, I want to catch Geo in," said Maudy.

Steve nodded and Maudy continued her steps.

***

Maudy smiled as she saw Geo exercising on the field. Although he had eaten, but he hoped his son would be willing to eat his cooking even a little, especially he had made Geo's favorite pudding.

"Geo," call Maudy when the sport is over.

Geo turned his head, he then waved his hand at Maudy with a smile. If usually the child will go straight to the mother, but now after waving and smiling, Geo instead went with his friend until again Maudy was silent.

Maudy who did not want to give up just like that, immediately caught up with her son. "Geos!" call Maudy when Geo gets into class.

Geo. "Mommy, I gotta get in."

Maudy pulled his son's hand.

"Mommy!"

Maudy was shocked when Geo threw his hand, until the paper bag containing supplies for Geo fell and scattered on the floor. Maudy stared in disbelief at her son, as did Geo.

"Geo," called Maudy with a surprised look.

"Don't I tell you that I have to go to class, why is Mommy blocking me?" reply Geo.

Afterwards, the little boy entered the classroom without caring about Maudy who was fixated on staring at the food splattered on the floor.

Steve grinned when he saw what Geo was doing. "Pretty good" he turned around and returned to the car because he didn't want Maudy to suspect him.

"You okay?" ask Geo's friend who passed in front of Maudy.

Maudy who regained her senses, replied, "No, I'm fine."

Maudy turned to Geo's class, where the boy had entered, so he immediately cleaned up the food that had been spilled.

When he was done, Maudy passed from there with a lethargic step. Various feelings rumbled in his heart. He really did not understand what Geo was doing, why could he change like this?

Maybe in the eyes of others, Maudy's attitude is too much, but not for him. All this time, he had gotten used to the sweetness of the son and now Geo had changed, of course he felt fear as well as loss.

"Maudy, didn't you give Geo his food?" ask Steve who's pretending.

Maudy smiled. "No, it doesn't seem like he's going to eat my cooking."

"Where's food? Let me tell him to eat." It seems like he's acting like a hero. He snatched the paper bag from Maudy's hand which immediately pulled it back.

"This food has fallen on the floor, it is impossible for Geo to eat," Maudy replied.

"In that case, I'll advise him later, you take it easy, yes," said Steve.

"No, I'll just drop Geo. I'm going home now." It seemed, Maudy was no longer able to wait for Geo, until he decided to go home first and it made Steve smile widely.

"Just enjoy it, Maudy," said Steve.

***

"Is there anything that bothers you?" asked Elsa who had just entered her husband's room where Nauder was daydreaming because it turned out, Gina's words yesterday gave a burden to him.

Nauder was too happy to think that Steve had changed, but in fact she forgot that the son was a manipulative type. He knows Steve more than anyone, but he can still be cheated like that.

Nauder woke up from her daydream. She turned her head then smiled as Elsa asked, "Darling, is there anything bothering you? Why are you daydreaming?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking about what Gina said yesterday. I don't think we should trust Steve one hundred percent."

Apparently, it was not only Nauder who thought that way, but also Elsa who now asked, "Then, now we have to how Nauder? I don't want Maudy to get hurt for the umpteenth time."

Nauder fiddled with his phone then called Neo. "Is it okay there? Did something happen to Maudy?" tanyanya.

Neo was silent across there. He did not immediately answer his master's words, because he was also confused, because he did not see anything different with the relationship of Steve and Maudy. They were fine, but to his astonishment, why was she crying at the lake last night?

"Neo," call Nauder to wake Neo from his reverie.

"Yes, Sir."

"Is there something going on between Maudy and Steve?" ask again.

"Everything's fine, and there's nothing strange, sir. But last night, I ...." Neo hung up his words, he was confused where to start the story from.

"What's wrong? Just tell me don't hesitate" Nauder said.

"Every night, I followed Miss Maudy to the lake, and there I saw Miss Maudy crying."

"Are you asking why Maudy was crying?"

"Yes sir, Miss Maudy spent hours at the lake, and she just said that she was missing her family."

Nauder sighed. "Oh well then," said Nauder, who then closed his call.

"What did Neo say?"

Nauder told him what he heard, there was nothing suspicious about Neo, but somehow, Elsa and Nauder were still unsettled.

"Do you believe that?"

"No, honey," replied Elsa. "Would we just call Maudy and ask her in person?"

"I think that's a good idea."

Elsa fiddled with her phone. He's planning to call Maudy. "Hello, Maudy?" greet Elsa as the woman raises her call.

"Mommy" Maudy replied.

"You all right? Why does your voice sound like you're crying?" elsa asked again because Maudy's voice sounded raucous.

Maudy smothered her mouth across there. She didn't want her cries to be heard by Elsa, but she couldn't control herself anymore when Geo threw the food she made.

"Maudy, what's wrong? Tell Mommy" said Elsa.

In the end, Maudy's cries exploded. "Mommy, why is Geo getting away from me now?" tanyakanya.

"What do you mean, Maudy?"

"Geo is now changing, Mommy. He never wanted me to come near. He was also reluctant to do the things he usually did with me."

Nauder, who heard it, snatched the phone from Elsa's hand. "Tell me everything, son."

Maudy explained to Nauder, who now said, "Alright, let us take care of it."

"Look, we think the same about this" Elsa said.

"Then now, what should we do?"

"Now, first I'll try to meet Alya. I'm sure, behind Geo's attitude, there's Stev and Alia behind him. I'm going to meet Alia, to reprimand her.”

Nauder. “I think it's a good idea.”

***

This is where Elsa is. He was standing in front of Steve's apartment. The middle-aged woman raised her hand, then immediately pressed the bell, until before long the door opened.

"Mommy." Alya rounded her eyes when she saw Elsa, as this was the first time the woman had come to the apartment.

"Please come in" said Alya.

Elsa did not answer. Every time he saw Alya, he always remembered Sandra and their past. Without further ado, he went straight into the child's apartment unit and his daughter-in-law and sat down on the sofa.

"Mommy wants to drink what? I'll make it," Alya bargained.

"No need, I'm not thirsty" replied Elsa, who until recently, never called Mommy to herself when dealing with Alya, because she really disliked her daughter-in-law.

"What's Mommy doing?" alya asked with her heart pounding for fear that Elsa would ask her for a divorce. He was confused why from the first time until now, he could not get along with Elsa.

“You want to know, why we hate you all this time."

To be honest, Alya himself was curious, because the attitude of his family-in-law in the eyes of others was very good, generous and also friendly, but all this time, his in-laws never considered him to exist. As he remembered, he had never made any trouble with them.

"I'll explain why I don't like you, because you're Princess Sandra."

"Why did you bring my mother?" ask Alya. He looked at Elsa in confusion.

Elsa took a breath. She knew Alya was innocent and Alya should not have to endure what Sandra did, but still every time she saw this woman in front of her, he always feels nauseous with a mind that is always imagined by the past. "Because your mother used to flirt with my husband."

Elsa then explains everything to Alya without anyone missing, including when Sandra kidnaps and tortures her. As long as her in-laws told her story, the woman did not blink once. He even looked at her with an incredulous look.

"You're lying, aren't you? My mother couldn't be like that" Alya said because in her memory, the mother was an angel.

Although Alya abandoned her mother when she did not understand anything, but at least she still remembered the figure of the woman.

"No, Alya." Elsa opens her bag and takes something from the inside with a photograph of her past, when she was kidnapped by Sandra.

"Look at this, this is your mother's behavior" Elsa said.

Alya immediately saw the photos that even one of them showed when the mother was being arrested by the police.

"Even though we have everything, we never distinguish anyone, let alone from financial problems. If we don't like you, it means something's wrong with you."

Alya saved the photo then wiped away her tears. He looked at Elsa fiercely. "Then, what does this have to do with me, Mommy? This is, right, your past. I don't even know anything, so why do you hate me?"

"You were not involved with what your mother did in the past, but every time you saw her, Nauder and I were always reminded of her crimes. And you know, even when your mother got out of jail, she almost managed to burn us in the car. Luckily, God was still kind enough to save us, otherwise I wouldn't know what happened to me and my husband."

Alya's body felt weak to hear Elsa's words. She really did not expect that this was the reason why her in-laws hated her.

"Then now, what does Mommy want from me?" ask Alya.

Elsa fell silent feeling that this was the question she had wanted to hear from her daughter-in-law.

"What if I told you to part with Steve, would you obey him?"

Alya's heart was pounding twice as fast. She could not even breathe normally upon hearing her mother-in-law's question. Though just now he was wondering what if his in-laws asked about this, but he never thought that it would happen right now.

"How's it?"

Alya tried to harden her heart. "I'll say no, Mommy. I'm not leaving Steve behind, because anyway, I'm not the guilty one, but my mother."

"Are you sure Steve wouldn't have left you if he knew everything?"

"I'm sure he won't leave me because he knows I'm not involved in anything."

Elsa nodded her head. "Well, are you planning something with Steve about his departure to India?"

"No" answered Alya.

Simply looking at the look on Alya's face, Elsa was able to conclude that her daughter-in-law was lying. "You know, if anything happens to Maudy, then you'll really never see Geo again."

Elsa got up from her seat. "I'm not going to force you to walk away from Steve's life, because he's going to kick you out of it one day."

Elsa comes straight out of Alya's apartment unit feeling her body stiffen. The arrival of the woman and the explanation given, like the angel of life for her, could at any time take her life.

In fact, Alya was just happy because Steve managed to win the heart of Geo. He was also very happy when he heard the change of the child to Maudy, but now his happiness was gone when he heard the words of his mother-in-law.

Alya can't even move her body as she remembers Elsa's remark that at any moment, Steve can kick her out of her life, if the man knows everything.

"No, Steve definitely wouldn't do that, he would understand I don't know anything" Alya said.

Alya does not know anything, but his sin is not to empathize at all with Maudy, by being a thorn in the marriage of Steve and Maudy.

Not long after, Alya's phone rang a sign of an incoming call that turned out to be from Steve. He also lifted it up. "Hello Steve, how's it going?"

"Alya, do you know what happened today?" steve asked excitedly, until Alya frowned.

"What's going on?"

"So Maudy brought food for Geo, and it turns out he threw it out."

Slowly, Alya's worried face turned happy when he heard Steve's words. "really? Well then, just speed up his return because we need to get together soon."

"Alya, how are you? Are you all right?" steve asked when he heard his wife's tone change.

"I'm fine."

"Yes, that's it." Steve turned off his call.

***

"Daddy," call Geo when he gets in the car.

"Hi, are you done?" ask Steve. "Oh yeah, why did you spill Mommy's food?"

Steve pretends not to know. He influenced her with words so that she could quickly meet with Alya.

"Because I can't accept anything Mommy Maudy gave me so I can meet Mommy Maudy as soon as possible" Geo said innocently. Unfortunately, he was too easily doctored by his father.

"We'll meet him soon, and this time, Daddy let you eat Mommy's food."

"Why?"

"It's okay, if your Mommy offers you food, you just eat it but don't talk to her too much. Youunderstand?" ask again.

Geo nodded his head. Steve then starts and runs his car.

***

Maudy daydreams by the pool. Since coming home from school, he has not once gone from there. He was silent thinking about what was wrong. It really doesn't make any sense.

The shadow when Geo threw the food he was carrying, continues to be drawn in his mind makes the tightness of Maudy increasingly so.

Before long, there was a car engine and it was Steve who had just arrived with Geo. If Maudy usually wanted to welcome the son, but since the incident, she had thought not to see her son first, because he wants to win himself and thinks that he will feel better after the next few hours.

"Maudy," called Steve as he approached Maudy in the pool area.

Maudy looked over with a smile. When he saw his ex-wife's teary eyes and the arch of the woman's lips, Steve's heart suddenly thumped. There was a sense of unbearability in him when he saw Maudy like this. He also knew very well what the woman was thinking. But before long, his selfish side rose again making him shake his head.

Steve walked up to Maudy, the man sitting next to his ex-wife. "I've persuaded Geo. Looks like after this, he'll want to eat your food. If you want, you can cook now" Maudy.

This is what makes Maudy does not believe in his curiosity towards Steve, because the man is always seen on his side by always helping to persuade Geo.

Maudy smiled bitterly. "Later on, Steve. Chef's cooking for her."

Silently, Steve smiled as he looked at this kind of Maudy. He who initially thought he should approach this woman with a desperate effort, now no longer think about it, because it turns out Geo was already in his grasp.

"Yes already then, I went inside first," said Steve. Maudy.

***

"Darling, have you spoken to her?" nauder asked as Elsa returned to the mansion.

"I've spoken at length with him, I've also told him about the past of our relationship without anyone being missed, including about Sandra trying to harm us" Elsa said. He sat down next to Nauder.

"Dad, now my feelings are suddenly bad. Let's follow Maudy there and get him back to Russia. My feeling was that Alya was planning something out of her facial expression."

Nauder nodded. "Let's follow up and ask him to come home."

“Hmm, baby. We need to get Stev back to Russia immediately so he doesn't go any further" Elsa said.

“I told you no, this must be the child's wits" said Gina who suddenly walked in from behind, until Elsa and Nauder turned her head. He had guessed that his twin brother, indeed, had never changed. “So you guys want to catch up with him?" ask gina.

“Hmm, we'll catch up tomorrow."

***

The time showed at 08.00 pm, there was a sound of laughter from the dining room until Maudy who was in the room felt tightness instead of playing, because since this afternoon since his son returned home from school Maudy has not yet met Geo, he is still trying to calm his heart, although his stomach feels hungry but Maudy does not intend to join.

Maudy laid her body down, then she continued to look at her photos and Geo photos, until it did not feel clear bulir fell back from her eyes.

“Geo!” call Steve Geo who is feeding his food looking over.

“What's Dad?" ask Geo.

“Try bringing this food to Mommy's room. Mommy hasn't eaten since."

“Why did Daddy tell me? it's not like Daddy said he shouldn't."

“For just this once, but you can't talk much. Just take this," said Steve, he did not do this out of pity for Maudy, of course because to make it clear that Geo now hates her.

“Good.” Stev moved some food onto the plate, and after Geo finished he immediately told Geo to go to Maudy's room.

“ Mommy!” call Geo. Maudy who was daydreaming immediately realized, she immediately turned to look at the door. Pleasure was immediately seethed within Maudy when her son called. As fast as lightning, it instantly put away the blanket covering its body, then dashed towards the door. The sense of happiness was so heightened that it felt like he wanted to shout because Geo called him.

“There ap ....” suddenly Maudy stopped his speech when he saw the look on his son's face that was like lazy to see it. Until the new sense of happiness felt a few seconds was gone, changed again with sadness.

“What's Geo?” ask Maudy.

“Mommy hasn't had dinner yet, eat first," Geo said. Maudy just smiled faintly, then she took the plate from Geo's hand. Just as he was about to speak, the little boy turned back and left Maudy, making Maudy's heart throb with pain.

It seemed, deciding not to see Geo for the next few days was the best thing Maudy could do, she felt she needed some time to accept all of this.

Maudy closed the door, and then she walked to the bed. The Sanita bowed herself there, she looked at the plate with a pushy look.

***

“How, did you give it to Mommy?" ask Stev

“Hmm, I already gave it, then I went straight away again," Geo replied innocently.

“God boy.” Steve stroked his son's hair and then he immediately took Geo to the room to prepare for sleep.

***

the night turns morning, Steve and Geo get out of the room of course they are preparing for school. When he came out, Steve frowned when he saw that there was no Maudy at the dinner table, usually Maudy would welcome Geo. And somehow Stev's feeling suddenly bad.

But as usual, his ego again appears “You eat first, Daddy will follow Mommy.”

“Why Daddy caught up with Mommy. Isn't it nice Mommy isn't here.” Steve was silent when he heard his son's answer, it turns out that the doctrine he gave his son was very attached.

“You go to the dinner table first okay. Daddy so it won't be long," he replied, Geo nodded. then the little boy walked straight to the dining table, while Steve headed straight for Maudy's room.

“Maudy!” call Steve. There was no sound of footsteps, and finally Maudy came out.

“Hmm, Steve,” Maudy replied.

“You okay?” ask Steve.

“Hmm, I'm fine. I'm just not feeling well,” Maudy replied again.

“You don't want to see Geo, usually you make him provisions for him.”

“Just let the chef make it, I want to take a break." Maudy quickly closes the door because she doesn't want Stev to see her destroyed How not, all night Maudy can't fall asleep thinking about what happened to her and Geo's changes.

***

Stev got out of the car, the man had just returned to deliver Geo from school, the man's smile was so fluffy that he felt his mission had worked.

But before long, Stev's smile faded when he saw the car parked in front of the house, not the car that made Stev shock but some people in suits who stood there. Damnit damnit! his father and mother are in India. Until instantly ....
