Maura: The New Year Tragedy

Stay by my side

Bryan POV

That afternoon when Rendy and I wanted to go out for food, Anelis suddenly came in a state of chaos. My frown was staring at the appearance of Anelis. What do I think, because I haven't seen Anelis in a few days since I did a DNA test back then. I was forbidden by Papa to deal with Anelis again and I obeyed him. Because of Anelis' affair with my cousin, Andre has been taken care of by Bara and some of Papa's men, so I have not interfered for the matter. But why is Anelis seeing me again. Is there a serious problem, I thought.

I asked Rendy to go first and all ordered me lunch. At first he refused because he didn't want me to be alone with Anelis. I know because Rendy's been at Papa's waiting to keep me away with Anelis. Even though I myself also actually have no taste at all in Anelis. But Papa seems so scared I'm back in a slump because of Anelis again. Or rather Papa was afraid that Freya would get hurt if I went back to Anelis. Even if it is impossible and will never happen. Because there are only Freya and Maura in my heart right now. Just those two are the source of my happiness now and I don't want to lose them both a second time.

"Just calm down, I'll be safe, nothing will happen" I said as I looked at the doubts and worries in Rendy's eyes. So afraid that Rendy if I get back entangled with the past, I think that I feel happy Rendy is worried about me. Really the best assistant. Rendy's loyalty I don't doubt anymore just because I helped her in college days as a return.

"Alright sir, if there's anything, call me directly" said Rendy who stared cynically at Anelis. I know Rendy hasn't liked Anelis since I first met Rendy when she helped me and told Rendy my problem.

I just nodded, and let Rendy go first. I looked at Anelis, there was pity when I saw the current appearance of Anelis. I approached her and I hugged her shoulder when I saw her suddenly crying. I took him to the meeting hall on the first floor near the lobby. Want to go back to the room too far and surely later Papa will know and end the debate. I don't want that to happen, afraid Papa's heart will recur.

"What's wrong?" ask me without further ado, for I do not want to linger with Anelis and will later become a misunderstanding for those who see her.

But Anelis instead of answering just crying jerkily. I felt sorry for reflexes just hugged Anelis. I tried to calm him down before continuing our conversation.

I lowered my head as I felt Anelis holding me so tightly. I tried to let go of Anelis' embrace but she shook her head and hugged me even more tightly.

It can be dangerous if anyone sees, my mind that begins to worry a little when my closeness with Anelis that looks so intimate.

It's wrong, I shouldn't have hugged him first. You fool Bryan!! I felt annoyed at the stupidity I had just done.

"Free Anelis!!"

"What's the matter exactly?"

"Why are you crying like this?" asked Ku who forced Anelis to take off her embrace on my body.

"Andre...Andre doesn't want to take responsibility and doesn't care about his son" Anelis said, looking down and crying as she pleased.

"Andre? Did Andre call you?" ask me curiously.

Because until now I myself have not been able to contact Andre. Just from Bara I know Andre's situation there. Andre also didn't want to talk to me when I called Bara. He also did not want to go home with the reason there are still many patients who need his help. The bullshits!! There was no other doctor there, I thought, who was furious with the reason Andre gave. I wanted to pick Andre up myself so I could live quietly with Freya and Maura.

Anelis nodded her head still.

"I spoke to him when Andre's mother came to see me."

"At that time Andre's mother called Andre and Andre immediately said that to me."

"Even he doesn't care until his son dies."

"Mother Andre also said the same thing" Anelis said in a hoarse voice from crying.

There's no way Andre would talk like that if no one instigated him. If from the story I heard from Alex, I'm sure that they actually love each other but there are obstacles, if I can't. Must be their inhibitor Aunt Arta, I thought I remembered the attitude of Papa's sister who looked like Mama.

"What should I do Bryan?" Anelis looked at me with tears that had been dripping down her cheeks that were getting more and more thin. Anelis is getting thinner unlike the first time I met her a few weeks ago.

"Andre used to be so happy when I found out I was pregnant."

"But he suddenly changed and just left without caring about me and his son again."

"Even when you know you're coming home from London."

I just kept quiet to see Anelis. I myself am also confused as to how. Papa forbade me not to deal with Anelis anymore so that Freya would not misunderstand me.

"Look down!!" I just patted Anelis' shoulder gently to calm her down.

"I'll try to help you."

"I'll ask Bara to force Andre back at any cost." I finally had to say that to calm Anelis down. It is sad that Anelis will fall ill and who will take care of her child, although there is also Mama Anelis here. Freya's biological mother also means my in-laws who I just met her once.

"Thank you Bryan." Anelis hugged me tightly.

"Sorry to bother you with helping me."

I just cleared my throat by closing my eyes and exhaling a rough breath.

"Have, you'd better get back before Papa sees" I said so that Anelis took off her arms.

Anelis nodded and took off her embrace before finally following my steps.

I held him so he would be much calmer. Pity to see him out with puffy and swollen eyes.

Until that time in the lobby it wasn't Papa who saw me with Anelis, but it was Caca who saw our closeness and berated Anelis in a loud voice even to slap him in front of employees who had just returned from their break. I was so infuriated by Caca's attitude just now.

"What are you doing, Ca." I was stifled by Caca's attitude towards Anelis which I found impolite.

Caca was angry and thought that I was defending Anelis, but I only reprimanded him because Caca's attitude was disrespectful to the older ones.

"How does Freya feel seeing my sister's behavior?"

I was so shocked to find out Freya came to the office. Is it true that Freya saw me with Anelis, I thought. I can't imagine how Freya felt when she found out I was alone with Anelis.

Samar I heard Caca ask Rendy where Freya is and Rendy said she didn't know and didn't see Freya. That means Freya saw me with Anelis.

Did Freya leave immediately after seeing me with Anelis? and what kind of surprise would Freya give me?

So many questions in my mind that I finally asked Anelis to go home as soon as Caca left to find Freya.

I did the same thing. I also immediately went with Rendy to look for Freya's whereabouts. And ask some of Rendy's men to come look for Freya.

"Where are we, sir?" ask Rendy because it has been almost two hours more cars that Rendy drove only around the road that if in the past Freya.

"We try to go to the apartment Mutia lives in" said Bryan considering Freya had not known the ins and outs of the city of J and only that apartment was what Freya often visited.

Without waiting any longer, Rendy slightly increased the speed of the vehicle to get to Mutia's apartment.

Bryan squinted his eyes at Rendy who was so memorized the password code of the apartment door that Mutia lived in. "Did Rendy and Mutia's relationship go that far until Rendy knew her password code?" inner Bryan. "Here I am, I am here for Freya not for others." grumbled inwardly as she deepened Rendy's relationship with Mutia.

Bryan and Rendy immediately enter and find no one in the apartment. Mutia was still working and Freya did not show her figure in the apartment. Even Bryan had searched the room that Freya used to occupy and even Bryan had checked the bathroom and Mutia's room but did not find the figure he was looking for.

"Where are you Freya?" bryan muttered roughly his face. She was so frustrated that Freya knew and saw that she was alone with Anelis.

"Where are you?" bryan was furious that several times tried to call Freya's number but only the voice of the operator he heard.

"We're looking elsewhere" Bryan said after leaving Freya's room.

The two of them finally retrace the path to find Freya's whereabouts. Rendy had also contacted his men who were guarding the Abrisam family home but all he got was the same, Freya had not returned home.

"Did Freya have a look, Ren?" bryan asked, whose eyes were on the left side of the road, who knows what Freya was.

"I don't know Sir. I just came back from the restaurant to buy food" said Rendy who was just at the restaurant to order food for herself and Bryan without eating there. And the food he bought earlier he had not had time to eat and Bryan also had not had lunch when it was already night. They are still searching for Freya.

Bryan closed his eyes, his head resting on the back of the car seat. His heart felt tight when he never found Freya.

"What surprise would Freya give me?"

"Why did he suddenly disappear?" bryan wondered.

Freya just left that means Freya was right to see me and Anelis that was so intimate, thought Bryan.

Bryan breathed a tired breath, always close to Anelis always a misunderstanding. It is true what Papa said, it is better to stay away from Anelis so that the household is calm and peaceful there is no quarrel and misunderstanding like this.

"I'm sorry, baby!!"

"I didn't mean to hurt you and misunderstand you like this."

"I don't feel like him anymore."

"Only you!! Only you are in my heart now and forever."

"I really love you. Love you very much, Freya."

"Sorry, I'm late to tell you that."

"Don't go and stay by my side, Freya."

Rendy glanced at Bryan from the car pawn inside. He saw Bryan who looked so bad and sad because he never found Freya's whereabouts.

"Should I tell you where Miss Freya is now?" poor Inner Rendy saw the state of her Young Master. Back at Mutia's apartment, Rendy gets news from Papa Abri to keep everything secret about Freya's whereabouts to Bryan. Papa Abri sounded so furious and upset at Bryan who did not want to obey his words.

"But given Miss Freya's condition that I last heard, it's better that I let you know until the Young Master is truly sorry for always dealing with her past."
