Between Love and Sacrifice

Endeavors

When night fell, Mayra felt so agitated . Waiting for Ansel never came home, but usually her husband always came home from work on time, even did not miss a minute.

But , Mayra was confused it was almost dinner time her husband was still not at home. So Mayra missed her dinner which is used to eating with her husband. But today Mayra is so lazy to stare at touching food without the presence of Ansel accompanying her.

'' Excuse me Miss, Baby Anzela is crying. Maybe he's thirsty. '' Report Can Lasmi .

Mayra gasped, she felt guilty for her daughter just because she worried about her husband to forget that the baby was in need of her too.

'' Thanks, Can Lasmi. I'll see it.

'' Well Miss, then I go into the kitchen first. ''

'' Please, Bi ''

'' Oh God, my daughter forgive Mother dear. Because you think too much about your father who has not come home, to forget to take care of you. Forgive Mother darling . ''

With a hasty step, Mayra immediately left following her baby in the upstairs room.

Oekkkk

Oekkkk

Baby Anzela's cry ripped Mayra's heart out when she got to the room. Immediately grabbed the tiny body of her daughter, Mayra issued the source of her baby intake. Immediately he positioned his body sitting on the sofa while inserting the tip of Anzela's food, immediately his daughter was silent when she managed to devour the source.

While rubbing her daughter's head, Mayra continued to spur her thoughts on the husband who had not seen the trunk of his nose since the morning.

'' That's how you are against me. What my attitude last night made you hurt...Truly I do not want the presence of such trauma, Lord is there any chance for me to explain. Especially until now my husband does not come home, does Mas Ansel hate me ? I regretted about my past that should have disappeared long ago, even I knew if my husband had accidentally done it. Why did all this happen, I couldn't break up with him yet. ''

Mayra's mind kept screaming, her thoughts had wandered everywhere.*****mayra's milk was missing from Anzela's open mouth. The baby had fallen asleep.

Before putting the baby in the cradle, Mayra stroked her daughter's cheeks that looked puffed up, with a red hue contrasting with her white skin. The baby's face is exactly like Ansel, sometimes he smiles while stroking the cheek of the princess.

Staring at the face of the princess, able to relieve the tightness in his chest. Imagining Mayra's fatal mistake, Mayra believes her husband will act maturely in response to it. It was felt enough with the elusan chosen by the baby, Mayra gently put the baby back who had fallen asleep.

After performing the Isya prayer, Mayra was more anxious . Ansel is still not home yet, she is worried something happened to her husband . Moreover, this morning Ansel went to the office with a deep sense of disappointment.

Impatiently, immediately reached the phone on nightstand , Mayra immediately dialed her husband's number, but unfortunately the connection is not active.

'' Where the hell are you, Mas. Why not go home yet. Even Mommy's not home anymore should I look for you ? But it's almost midnight, there's no way I'm leaving without taking Anzela with me. Please go home, Lirih Mayra, to shed her tears.

Mayra tries to call back her husband, but the results remain the same. Number cannot be contacted.

Put back, the phone's in its original place. Immediately put down his tired body hoping that the next morning he woke up to find Ansel beside him asleep while hugging him.

Along with the twang of the clock that shows midnight, Mayra finally fell asleep too with her baby so the henry was not fussy in the baby box there.

'' How, Max. Have you bought my phone ? ''

'' It's on its way, sir. ''

The shock of Ansel and his assistant Max, has made him forget if he left without telling anyone. Especially when he heard the news if the construction project workers of his hotel in one of the branches occurred a big mistake. The shame this time when the construction took place, there was a disaster that befell some of his workers who died on the spot due to the oppressed heavy equipment .

At midnight, Ansel and Max are still at the police station, awaiting clarification for further explanation. Actually Ansel can go through the case at the police station easily, but some good citizens he prefers the safe and orderly path according to the applicable procedures. Even though he is a famous and famous businessman. It is easy when money works, but Ansel is not a petty human who sits down to justify all means, let alone break the law.

'' Good evening, with Mr. Eric Julian, in charge of the construction project of the Julian hotel building.'' said inspector Hadi. Stretching hands together to the two handsome men in turn.

'' Right sir. '' Ansel replied kindly.

'' Look, Mr. We the officers have been trying to get evidence of the cause of the fatal accident. According to the witnesses who saw the incident directly there was an element of intent there . Especially after we checked all the heavy equipment that was related to the accident , it turned out that the tool was deliberately loosened until the loose tools fell on the victims who were working down there. ''

Ansel was immediately aghast, he stared intently at Max who was also staring at him.

'' You, so careless Max. Why don't you check it out. '' Ansel's growl

He was not angry because his project had to be stopped. Except the casualties are not small. Of course the law would ensnare him too deeply if the solid evidence that he was innocent was not shown.

'' Sorry Mr. Julian, for more we will immediately investigate the mastermind of the disaster, but if there is no awkwardness then the pure mistake is the carelessness of your project. '' Obviously the police inspector who handled the case for Ansel's project.

Ansel scooped his face rough, only this time his company had to get entangled in a case.

'' We'll be looking for that guy soon. But for a while we had to investigate first the beginning of it. '' Said Max.

'' Fine, Mr . But for a while you have to be in this city first, for the continuity of investigations of cases that have been many lives. Moreover, the workers are the original citizens of this city. '' Say inspector .

Ansel nodded, Actually he was eager to return to the city of J. But the circumstances here do not allow him to be absent from the responsibilities as a director of the company at the scene.

In the car, Ansel leaned back and closed his eyes behind the steering wheel. While Max with his flat face continues to split the road driving to a private villa in Surabaya.

'' Max, do I have to be honest with my wife about my problems here. '' Ansel asked still closed his eyes.

Max, who was asked, immediately looked at his boss from the rearview mirror.

'' Don't be mister, I'm afraid Miss will be worried and choose to follow you here. Moreover, the police investigation has not half been collected, they also need our help so that the case is finished quickly . But if Miss is here, it'll slow down all the investigation. ''

With Max's statement, Ansel nodded in understanding. True said his assistant if Mayra knew her husband was in Landa a great calamity, there is no way his wife did not follow grieving. Moreover, Mommy Raisa will drop instantly knowing if her only son is not good.

'' You're right, Max. Looks like I'll have to put it down for a while. Send word to the Mansion if we are on a business trip, all close this matter from all media. I don't want a single television station to broadcast the news of the disaster, before the good name of the company recovers. '' Tell Ansel .

'' Good '', Sir. ''

Ansel again closed his eyes, soaking in the longing that was waning him. Long for the wife who is far away from him at this time, as well as the beautiful baby, the intermediary and the bondage of their relationship. The baby he loves is his own flesh and blood.

Without anyone knowing, Ansel's body was so devastated when he was not with his wife at this time even went without saying goodbye to his woman though. A single tear dripped down at the end of his petal. Ansel quickly wiped him hoping that all problems would be solved in a short time.

" *I promise, after this we will not be separated anymore dear. Wait for me there, I will try as soon as this is over, I miss you my wife and my baby. ''.
