Maura: The New Year Tragedy

What kind of Husband????

Mama Lea dropped her body on the sofa of the living room after a tired day with a busy schedule of meetings with some of her colleagues. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly to relax his body. Comfortable, that's what Mama Lea feels right now. But it is even more comfortable if he spills his body on his favorite mattress.

"Mama's mom just got home."

Mama Lea opened her eyes when she heard the voice of Papa Abri who was already sitting next to her.

"Hmm." Mama Lea closed her eyes again.

"Today's schedule."

"Wish you'd cut back on your activities, but Caca won't take over if he doesn't graduate."

"And Freya, she wasn't allowed Bryan to work during this pregnancy." Mama Lea breathed a rough breath.

"Good father, Bryan is reliable."

"There are Rendy and Bara who are ready to help at any time."

"If Mama, some boro-boro helps."

"Nengokin aja not." lamented Mama Lea who indeed since Bryan married has rarely held BRATA tv. It has rarely helped him on BRATA tv.

"Bryan has to take care of his own company."

"Mom knows Alex has now resigned from ABA Corp."

"Bryan is now focused not only on BRATA Group and BRATA tv only, but on ABA Corp as well."

"So it's only natural that Bryan reduced his activities on BRATA tv." Mama Lea snorted annoyed at the words of her husband who indirectly defended Bryan.

"The ABA Corp has Rendy."

"It's not like Rendy was named CEO there yesterday after the meeting."

"Bryan shouldn't have thought about his company."

"His own right hand is now holding ABA Corp." Mama Lea seemed to not accept that Bryan did not want to help her again on BRATA tv and chose to take care of his company founded by Bryan himself.

"Rendy has been appointed as CEO at ABA, but not yet official because Alex has not signed a transfer of office."

"And Bryan also asked Rendy to train Bara who will be used as a replacement for Rendy."

"Mama knows Bryan himself does not want to carelessly hire employees let alone this work as his right hand, his personal assistant" explained Papa Abri considering Bryan who is selective in choosing employees who work directly with him.

"Bryan is too selective, even though from adolescence they are always together." Mama Lea snorted.

Papa Abri just shrugged both of his shoulders. Because he thinks what Bryan did is right. Already in accordance with standard operational procedures or commonly called SOP.

"Where is Freya, Ma?"

"Papa came home earlier did not see him nor Maura, Caca was also not in his room" asked Papa Abri who did not see his son-in-law and grandson and his own son.

"Why not ask Mama wrong?" Mama Lea looked at Papa Abri who looked confused.

"Don't Papa come home from earlier?" Papa Abri nodded his head.

"Why do you ask Mama who just came home?"

"Obviously Mama doesn't know."

"Why also ask Mama." murmured Mama Lea and curled up on the sofa. He is really tired today. He also does not want to fight.

"Is she at Mama's house again?" muttered Papa Abri considering that already these two days Freya always went to the house of Oma Ami after Bryan left for work.

"Maybe, it seems that Papa's son has made Mama's daughter-in-law angry again." guess Mama Lea for seeing Freya change her attitude while serving Bryan at the dinner table and have always been at Oma Ami's house for the past two days.

"Freya is not only Mama's daughter-in-law, but also Papa's son-in-law."

"Remember, Mama did not approve and accept Freya as she is today." Papa Abri did not accept the words of his wife. Because he was the one who accepted and recognized Freya as his son-in-law.

Mama Lea was so happy, because what her husband said was true. Mama Lea chose silence and rested her body for a moment.

"If you want to rest in the room, not here." reprimanded Papa Abri who saw his wife was sleeping on the sofa.

"Mama's tired, Mama's legs are no longer able to climb the stairs."

"And why is that elevator not fixed."

"Bikin just lazy up and down the stairs." annoyed Mama Lea who yesterday the elevator suddenly died and could not be used.

"Indeed, Papa won't fix it, but Papa will change it."

"Papa's got a new elevator."

"Maybe two or three more days just arrived and done" said Papa Abri without burden.

"Pour money continues." muttered Mama Lea who was upset every time she saw her husband spend money without her consent.

"To make money is not personal, but to the family."

"Well, wake up!! It's still afternoon."

"Move to room." Papa Abri growled and pulled Mama Lea's leg.

"What a fact is Papa."

"Mama's leg pain." cried Mama Lea holding her leg pulled by Papa Abri.

"Wake up quickly."

"If you want to rest, if you want to sleep in the room, not here."

Bughhhh

Papa Abri suddenly released his hand which was holding his wife's leg.

Mama Lea exhaled slowly and looked at her husband sharply. The release of high heels he wore and thrown it in any direction.

"You're Abrisam!!" screeched Mama Lea and stood up from her previous falling position.

There was also no step, Mama Lea fell again because her feet tripped the carpet and shoes were thrown earlier.

Papa Abri laughs at his fallen wife again and does not return the favor.

"Why are you laughing?" bryan asked who had just returned from the office and found Papa Abri laughing so satisfied. Because Bryan rarely found his father laughing like that, usually just smiling.

"Why are you sitting down like that?" Bryan was so curious why his mother had to sit under the sofa with messy hair and exposed carpet.

"What Papa laughs because of Mama" Bryan's inner being that only Mama Lea can make Papa Abri laugh so satisfied.

"Your mom slept on the couch and fell down" said Papa Abri, still laughing at his wife.

"Enak no Ma?"

"Can it be replayed again?" bryan ridiculed himself for not laughing.

"The child does not know himself."

"Can ask your own Mama to repeat the falling scene."

"It's just that your wife is always angry with you."

"Durrect child." Mama Lea grumbled by throwing a sofa cushion at Bryan.

"What does it have to do with an angry wife with an ungodly child."

"It has nothing to do with it at all" Bryan said and passed into his room.

"Why is Freya angry?" asked Papa Abri who was curious why his daughter-in-law was angry.

Bryan turned his head and looked at Papa and his mother alternately. "Freya wasn't angry, she was just upset because she didn't want me to."

"What does he want?" asked Mama Lea who had stood up again, looking at the curious desire of what Freya wanted until Bryan did not want to obey.

"Freya wants to eat a mercon meatball and I won't allow it."

"I don't want anything bad to happen to either of them."

"I don't want to erupt when it's eaten" Bryan said, continuing his steps toward the room.

Papa Abri and Mama Lea stared in disbelief at what Bryan had just said. Only because of the mercon meatball and thought that the mercon meatball could erupt.

"Mama thought Freya was asking for something expensive and hard to come by."

"It turns out just wanted to eat a mercon meatball."

"Papa's son is outrageous" said Mama Lea.

Mama Lea picked up her phone and immediately contacted her acquaintance who opened a meatball shop.

"Mama ordered it."

"Mama does not want later Mama's grandchild to continue because what his mother wants when cravings are never obeyed by his father." Papa Abri nodded in agreement. He also did not want his grandson to continue.

**********

"Mama!!!" Freya hugged Mama Lea tightly with her tears welling up her eyes. She was so happy because Mama Lea was so considerate of her.

"Thank you Mama has bought Freya a mercon meatball" said Freya who was unable to hold back her tears that had now fallen slowly wet her cheeks.

"Yes..Already let's eat the meatballs." Mama Lea took off Freya's embrace.

"Other times if you want to eat something or buy something say the same Mama also Papa."

"We'll buy it right away."

"Don't ask your stingy husband" said Mama Lea who was upset with Bryan who never obeyed Freya's craving.

"This is for Maura which is Oma?" maura asked who was already sitting at the dining table, ahead of the others. He saw all the meatball packs bearing all the mercon meatballs and he knew the mercon meatballs were spicy and he had better just ask than take them wrong.

"Are Maura bought?"

"It's all mercon meatballs all."

"Everything is spicy." Caca's tease follows Maura at the dinner table followed by the others.

Maura flicked her lips with teary eyes as well as a flushed nose preparing to cry. He did not accept it because it was not bought meatballs as well. Because he has not eaten meatballs since Mother and Father married.

"Ohoooooo!!!" Maura cried in the end, thinking she was right not bought meatballs either.

"Take care of you, love your niece so much." Mama Lea growled at her teasing daughter and taught her granddaughter weird.

"This is for Maura, Oma was ordering special baby meatballs for Oma's most beautiful and smart grandson." Mama Lea opened a small paper bag containing baby meatballs.

"Yeeee....Maura bought it."

"Thank you Oma." said Maura happily.

"Oma buy it specifically for Maura. A wlekkkk!!" maura taunts Caca by sticking out her tongue.

Freya just shook her head at her daughter's behavior. She hesitated to eat the meatballs, afraid that her husband would find out and scold her.

"Why did you see Freya? Let's eat!" said Papa Abri who saw Freya just churning the meatballs.

"Are you scared of Alvaro?" guess Oma Ami and Freya just nodded with a sad look for fear of having to eat a mercon meatball.

"If you're scared, it's best to spend it quick."

"Bryan has gone home" suggested Mama Lea.

"Yes Freya, get eaten up."

"It's not that you were happy when Mama bought you a special mercon meatball." Freya nodded, confirming what Papa Abri said.

"Yes, quickly eaten!" exclaims Caca who has spent half his meatballs.

"Or I spent all that meatballs on Freya's sister." seduced Caca by pulling down her eyebrows and her evil grin.

Freya who really wanted to eat the meatballs mercon just immediately devoured the meatballs mercon before Caca was also caught by Bryan, her husband. He did not want to waste this opportunity a second time. Dilahapnya with greedy meatballs mercon who had since yesterday the day after he wanted.

Uhukkk Uhukk

"Slows of Freya." rebuked Oma Ami and brought warm water closer to Freya.

Freya just nodded and immediately minun to relieve her throat choking on the chili for eating so hastily afraid Bryan came to Oma's house.

"Thank you Oma" said Freya after feeling relief in her throat.

Freya continued eating her meatballs, this was her second meatball. She had already spent one portion and was now open again, because her mother-in-law bought her a mercon meatball for herself not just one serving, but three special portions for her to eat alone.

"Dad here!!!"

"Let's eat meatballs."

Maura's screams made a cutlery that had been willing to go into Freya's mouth suddenly fell because of shock and fear that until Bryan found out he was eating mercon meatballs.

"Darling!! You eat meatballs." snapped Bryan in a high tone that made Freya afraid.

"Dad!!" screeched Maura and stood on the chair she was sitting on earlier.

"Why are you yelling at Mommy?"

"It's not just Mommy who eats meatballs."

"Maura also ate meatballs and the others also ate meatballs."

"Why is it only Mother that Father snapped." murmured Maura who did not accept her Mother was yelled at by her Father just for eating meatballs. It was his fault where to eat the meatballs, Maura thought.

"A_mmpph." Bryan did not continue his words because Caca stuffed his mouth with pieces of meatballs mercon a lot of his chili. He knew, this older brother of his could at least eat spicy. By stuffing her brother's mouth with mercon meatballs will certainly make her brother silent.

Uhukk Uhukkk Uhukkk

Bryan, who was very sad, grabbed the milk in front of Maura's desk. Because milk can eliminate the spicy taste in the mouth and throat.

"Dad!!! That's Maura's milk why it's drunk." cried Maura who saw his father spent a little milk he just drank, run out without remaining.

"You!!!!"

"I'll send you to London tomorrow." Bryan was so infuriated by his sister who deliberately gave him spicy food.

"Caca won't be studying in London."

"Caca will stay" said Papa Abri firmly who did not want to be away from his only daughter. Because his daughter lives in Caca and must always be by his side.

"Here Bryan should not be angry like that." said Opa Surya interjected when he saw Bryan who would reply to Papa Abri's words.

"And don't yell at Freya."

"Freya just wants to eat meatballs and you forbid it."

"Freya is pregnant with your child, and every time Freya wants something worthy and you can buy it you should buy."

"Don't you ever think how it used to be when Freya was pregnant with Maura."

"Freya went through her own pregnancy phase without you and now when Freya is pregnant again but instead you never obey Freya's wishes."

"What kind of husband are you."

"Having everything but not being able to make a wife happy." said Opa Surya at length and passed away just followed by the others.

Maura carried Papa Abri away from there and left only Freya who was still sitting with her face down and Bryan who stood still and sculpted. What Opa Surya said earlier really made Bryan think hard. "What is true is that he can't make Freya happy" Bryan's inner self guessed what he's been doing all this time to make Freya unhappy.

Bryan closed his eyes, squeezing the base of his nose when he remembered something when he wanted to get Freya. He remembered the promise he had made to himself.

"What kind of husband are you Bryan???"

"I'm sorry I couldn't keep my own promise."
