In the afternoon, Maura returned glum when she saw her cell phone. Nayna who noticed the change in expression of her best friend immediately asked.
"Why else, Ra? Lo's face is buckled up." Ask Nayna. Maura gave a quick glance, then gave her cell phone to her best friend. The girl picked up and read the conversation between Maura and her parents.
Maura looks disappointed, they say that they can not go home for her birthday which is only 3 days away.
"Prophey, there's still me. We celebrate together, like the year of yesterday. Okay?"
"Okay, thanks Nay. It's the best." Maura hugged her best friend tightly, as did Nayna.
Last year was also the same as this year, Maura's parents were overseas due to a job affair that required them to stay in the country for months. Leaving their daughters who are beginning to grow up.
"Didn't they feel that way, if I was lonely?"
"Udah, don't think about it. Don't be sad, I'll always be there for you. We go yuk, to the malem market? All healing, let's not be bored. How, you want to?"
"Where's the mallem market, Nay?" Ask Maura.
"In my apartment deck, there is a mall market, a real race. I also went there."
"Gue ask Daddy first?"
"By, call." Maura nodded, then contacted Daniash.
The man who was on the verge of dizziness because there was a problem with his work immediately sparkled when he heard his cellphone ringing, especially the one who contacted him at this time was his beautiful girl.
"Hmm, why?" Daniash asked flatly, even though in his heart he was already flowery.
'Dad, Maura's mallem will go to the mallem market with Nayna, okay?"
"May, if it's the same with me!"
'Ohh, okay Dad.' Maura replied without rejection, after all she was also happy when Daniash always intoned her everywhere. He felt guarded by the grown man.
"Why, Bby?"
'Lunch with Nayna in the cafeteria, Dad. Why?'
"No, it's just. Daddy thinks you're hanging out at the mall."
'Dad's shopping mood, if Maura matiin first yes, want to go home first.' said Maura, because today he only has one class, because today he only has one class, and it was finished a few minutes ago. His body felt tired, so he wanted to sleep in his house.
"Go back to the apartment, don't go home."
'Yes Dad, Maura went back to the apartment.' Maura answered Daniash's request.
"Good, wait for Daddy at home."
'Okay Dad, bye muaahh..' Maura gives a distant kiss, then turns off her phone connection.
"Ehemm, there's signs of this pussy." Nayna's chirps made Maura chuckle.
"Reverse now, Ra?"
"Yes, I want to take a nap." Maura answered, Nayna followed behind her best friend.
Today, Nayna who brought a car to campus, while Maura's car he kept in his house, somehow he suddenly lazy to bring his own car, and the car, he'd rather be dropped off by Daniash now.
"Anterin me first, huh?"
"Presents." Nayna replied, Maura smiled and sat in front, right next to the wheel. Nayna was driving at a moderate pace, several times she saw Maura yawn, as her girl was indeed exhausted.
Yes, tired heart and physical. Physically exhausted because every day studying without any rest, Maura was afraid if she had to skip, because her parents would know from her annual report.
Both of Maura's parents are strict when it comes to education, because they want their daughters to be successful women and boast of them someday.
But, did they realize what they had done to Maura? They ignored him when Maura needed affection, where were they when Maura was sick? Nothing, they're just busy with their business. Without caring about their daughter.
That's what causes Maura's heart to be tired, he has a lot of presumptions because the attitude shown by both parents, is much different from most parents.
"Ra, it's here.." Nayna said softly, she shook her best friend's body slowly, so tired that the girl fell asleep in the car.
"Eehh, sorry I overslept, Nay. Thanks for bringing me back."
"Casual, same as anyone. We've been together, too, a long time. Yaudah, you rest yes. I'll call if the market is open, don't think much." Nayna's advice was quickly embraced by Maura.
"Ready, Lo be careful on the road huh. I'll go down first, Nay."
Maura got down from her best friend's car, she went straight into the elevator booth by pressing button 6, where Daniash's apartment unit was located.
Arriving inside, Maura immediately laid her exhausted body on the sofa, without feeling her tears just dripping down her smooth cheeks.
"Why do you guys have me? Don't I deserve your affection, but what's my fault? Brother's death, it's not my wish either." Murmured Maura, she rubbed her rough cheeks then closed her eyes.
Maura fell asleep on the sofa, with tears still flowing at the end of her eyes, mentally all out. When he was in elementary school, he had to accept the harsh reality that his younger brother had to die for his help.
That wasn't his fault, was it? There is nothing to blame for this, including Maura. His younger brother was intent on saving his life when he saw the speeding truck, he pushed Maura to the shoulder of the road to make his body was the one who was crushed by the truck tire.
His body was destroyed, making Maura cry roared loudly when she saw the state of his sister who was immediately killed on the spot.
Shortly after the incident, his parents came and at that time immediately brought his sister's body to be buried in his final resting place. From then on, Maura's parents' treatment changed, let alone Elgar, her father.
The middle-aged man never wanted to look at him again, even if Maura greeted him, Elgar was only indifferent or answered as necessary. The rest, the man just kept quiet.
The events of a dozen years ago are in fact until now, Maura can not forget it. Especially when with his own eyes, he saw the body of his sister was crushed by a large truck.
The perpetrator is already in prison, maybe now he is free. But still, Maura will never be able to forgive her, because she is the one who made her lose the figure of a sister that is very dear to her.
