It has been more than two weeks Maura has not given any answers to Fabian. Fabian's business card is still stored. It was not Maura had no answer to Fabian's request. He already had an answer to Fabian's request that afternoon. Only he was not ready to meet Fabian again given Fabian's attitude when they met again that afternoon. Maura was still upset that Fabian was holding himself in public. Shame, certainly. Moreover, that afternoon a lot of people who saw the behavior of Fabian against him. Hopefully no one knows him, thought Maura who was afraid to be discovered if it turns out she was the woman who carried Fabian.
Although Maura already had an answer to Fabian's request, she still weighed it up again given Fabian's marital status. Maura doesn't want to hurt a fellow woman as well as a child. Fabian is married and has a wife and children, there is no way Maura can enter their lives and become a thorn in Fabian's marriage with his wife.
If Maura had known that Fabian was a widower by now, would she still have thought about and reconsidered the answer?
Maura, who is currently sitting by the window, looked down as a car came in and parked in her yard. He did not recognize whose car it belonged to. "Those nights I still have guests." Maura's grumbling pity to see Bryan at the age of twilight is still taking care of the company that continues to grow every year.
Although Maura was actually also helping out at the company, but she was unwilling to take full responsibility of the company given her status. Let Attar who will be the successor to Bryan's father, for now Maura only helps until Attar will be ready to enter the workforce. Please Maura hopefully after graduating from college Attar can directly continue the company and do not need to procrastinate again.
Maura who has been given Freya company ABA Corp does not want to run, Maura instead asked Rendy also Rafa who runs Aba Corp. Maura prefers the food world. He himself majored in medical science and took a specialist nutritionist. The goal to live a healthy life by eating and drinking nutritious. She and her friend Amelia set up a company and factory that produced healthy food and drinks. Maura and Amelia are responsible for determining the nutritional value of the products they produce.
Outside Maura's room, in the living room, Bryan was also Freya was entertaining guests who had just arrived. Uninvited guests they never imagined would come to see them tonight.
"Please!" Freya politely invited her guests to drink tea that had just been served by the waiter. The tea served is not just any tea, but herbal tea because almost all residents of the house like to drink herbal tea from various types of plants as well as flowers.
Reluctantly, Sandi and Shanti drank a drink that had been served as their respect. The two ventured to come meet with Bryan and Freya without any prior notice.
"Tumben once Mr. Rector came to my house at night. Usually if you want to meet when I come to campus or you who come directly to the company."
Sandi who indeed served as rector on the campus of the family Abrisam can only swallow rough saliva when he heard the tone of innuendo coming out of Bryan's mouth.
Shanti who was sitting next to Sandi could only look down embarrassed. He has no face to look at Bryan nor does Freya remember Fabian's embarrassment to the family.
"Not really, it's not too late either." Freya's voice seemed ordinary as if she did not know what the purpose of Sandi and Shanti was to visit. Unlike Bryan who displays his cold face as usual when meeting with outsiders.
"Mr Bryan and Madam must have known our intentions and purpose in coming here." Sandi paused for a moment her words to take a breath. "We want to apologize on behalf of our son, Fabian." Sandi looked embarrassed. His son really embarrassed him before the owner of the campus where he taught and served as rector.
Bryan smiled mockingly, "apologize!?" Repeat Bryan with a smrik on his lips. He even raised his eyebrows next to Sandi. "Indeed with your apologies my daughter will return to her original life?" Ask Bryan. "No." Answer Bryan himself. "My daughter will be ashamed for the rest of her life for what your son has done." Bryan's growl recalled his daughter who bore karma for her past actions. He was not angry at Maura's current state. He was only angry at himself for his actions in the past who liked to play dipping without thinking in the future. I don't know why other people get angry too.
Especially if you remember Freya who used to be pregnant alone without anyone on her side and experienced a lot of ridicule from the surrounding community, Bryan felt like he wanted to be angry with the circumstances of that time. Why he was late to find out.
"What you said is true."
Everyone turned their heads when they heard the words of a person who had just stepped down from the second floor and stepped closer to the living room.
"Maura will be ashamed for a lifetime of what happened some time ago." Maura said that while looking at both Fabian's parents. He overheard their conversation. "But I shouldn't have said that to them." Maura looked at Bryan. "It's Maura's fault that Fabian, we were both drunk that night. It has nothing to do with you guys." Maura firmly said that. Although in reality he himself is also not firm on the answer that until now awaited the same Fabian.
"Om, Aunt. I appreciate your arrival tonight. You don't have to apologize. You're not wrong." Maura looked back at Fabian's parents. He said that with a smile on his face. "I have not forgiven Fabian, but that does not mean I cannot forgive him. I still need time." said Maura who really intends to forgive Fabian because here the wrong both. "And for responsibility, Om's son's same aunt doesn't need to marry me. I had my own choice as to how Fabian was responsible for his actions. Considering Fabian is married and has a child, I don't want to be a thorn in their household."
