One Night Romance's

Chapter 68

This morning, Maura woke up earlier than usual. Not because Fabian bothered to hot activity at dawn, but because he was currently in the house of Fabian's parents, which means the house of his parents-in-law. Maura did not want to be looked at as ugly as her mother-in-law because she woke up late, so she decided to get up before dawn broke. 

Maura took a shower and prayed at dawn before finally heading out to the kitchen. He wanted to show his skills in cooking. Because this was the first time she had gathered with Fabian's parents after a week of marriage. It just so happened that today was Sunday, so she could prepare breakfast dishes for her husband, as well as her two in-laws.

Leaving Fabian still very sound asleep, Maura went to the kitchen. But she set the alarm around five o'clock and she put it near Fabian to wake her husband up.

Maura immediately opened the refrigerator door and saw what ingredients she could process for breakfast. No one reprimanded him because it was still four o'clock passing a little and no one had seen getting up. The servants have not been seen either, probably still praying at dawn.

"What cooking?!" Maura looks confused herself what to cook for breakfast this morning. Moreover, he did not know what kind of food both Fabian's parents used to eat every day for breakfast. 

Maura noticed a yellow yam in the bottom of the refrigerator. He picked it up and decided to make Bake Sweet Potatoes. He also took cherry tomatoes as well as chickpeas and mozzarella cheese and some pastry leaves as well as dried oregano for toppings.

"May they like." Murmured Maura hoped Sandi too Shanti liked the healthy breakfast she made.

"Non Maura was doing it early in the kitchen."

Auchhh 

Maura complained in pain as someone suddenly came to rebuke her. His middle hand put the baking sheet into the oven exposed to a hot oven. He did not wear heat-resistant gloves which resulted in his hands being hit by the edges of the oven which was burning and burning his skin.

The servant aunt who heard the new daughter-in-law at her employer's house complaining of pain looked panicked. He approached Maura and saw Maura's burning hand. "Other Non. Aunt's sorry." His words felt guilty for making the hand of the son-in-law in the Nugraha family hurt.

Maura shook her head while smiling faintly. "Not what, Bik. Maura was just shocked." Maura's reply calmed the servant Bibik who looked worried, afraid of being exposed to anger. "Oh yes, Bik. What is the usual breakfast Mama and Papa eat in the morning?" Tanya Maura shifted the concern of the servant Bibik.

"There's no specific menu, no. Usually simple and easy. Shanti's mother doesn't want to be complicated in the morning."

Maura nodded in understanding. She hopes that what she cooked this morning fits on Mama's tongue as well as her Papa-in-law's. If Fabian does not need to be asked again, the husband of Maura was always greedy to eat whatever food Maura made. 

"It smells good." Shanti muttered as she smelled the fragrance from the kitchen. "What kind of cooking is it?" Shanti's voice just came into the kitchen. "Maura!! How come you're here?" Shanti looks shocked when she sees Maura also in the kitchen in the morning blind like this.

"Yes, Ma. Maura wants to make a healthy breakfast for Mama and Papa. Hope you like Maura's cooking." Maura said with a sweet smile looking at Shanti.

"Mama sure you like Papa. You helped Mama prepare dinner last night." Timpal Shanti, he glanced at the burning oven. "What did you make?" Shanti asked curiously.

"Baked Sweet Potatoes." Answer Maura who is now cutting cherry tomatoes into four parts.

Shanti looks incredulous at what Maura made for their breakfast. "Mom usually eats Baked Sweet Potatoes if you stay at the hotel." Gurau Shanti, it is such a reality. He can eat a healthy breakfast if he is staying at a hotel or resort. "It turns out besides being beautiful and hardworking, Mama's daughter-in-law is also good at cooking." Praise Shanti who feels proud of the ability that Maura has. Although he comes from a wealthy family, but still want to work and business. Not spoiled that nothing should be served.

"Maura's still learning, Ma." Maura lowered herself. He is still learning, not fully able to cook, only a few dishes that he can process. Sometimes he also asked Freya or Anelis who now holds a restaurant owned by Oma Marissa.

Baked Sweet Potatoes Maura made are ready and served on the dining table. Maura immediately tells Shanti to call Fabian who is still in the room.

"Bee!! You awake yet? Come down for breakfast!" Maura cried into the room, but he did not see Fabian's whereabouts there. Maura looked around the room and saw the balcony door open, she also saw Fabian who was standing daydreaming on the balcony of the room. Maura stepped closer to Fabian. "Morning, Bee!" Maura hugged Fabian's left arm possessively.

Fabian was surprised, he turned his head and smiled at Maura who came over without a sound directly hugging her. "By the morning, Amor." Fabian landed a kiss on Maura's forehead.

"What are you thinking? I saw from just now just be quiet. Even I'm going in. You can't be at all." Maura said, looking into Fabian's eyes. His eyes demanded an explanation from Fabian.

Fabian shook his head slowly. "Nothing. I'm just enjoying the morning air." Fabian told a lie. There was no way he would say that he was currently shrouded in fear. Afraid Maura would turn away from her.

Fabian closed his eyes to take a breath out of his nose, and he exhaled slowly out of his mouth. Fabian opened his eyes and looked at Maura with a look of worry and fear. Fabian lowered his head, released Maura's arms and now both hands were holding Maura's. "I love you. Love you so much, Maura." Fabian said softly with his head down, staring at the two hands of Maura he was holding.

Instead of being happy with the love words Fabian gave, Maura looked confused. Why did Fabian suddenly reveal that in the morning like now. What is disturbing his mind.

"I don't want to lose you. I don't want you out of my life. I'm afraid you're leaving me here alone." Fabian said again while looking into Maura's eyes with reddened eyes.

"Why are you talking like that?" Maura asked amidst her confusion as to what Fabian had said. "I will never leave you unless you make a mistake that I cannot forgive. Adultery and cheating. I can't accept any of that." Maura explained that he would not leave Fabian's life except for two possibilities that made him finally leave Fabian's life.

Fabian shook his head slowly. "I couldn't have betrayed you, Ra. It is I who fear that you will turn away from me. I don't have the wealth you have. My parents are not as rich as your family. I'm afraid you're turning away and choosing those who have far more of everything than what I have now." Fabian's voice sounded choked as he said that.

What Raka said last night really made her heart ache. Raka decided to resign from her job as a doctor and chose to continue her business that she had built since young. Moreover, the reason Raka resigned was because of love. He was afraid that Raka would snatch Maura from him. He didn't want that to happen. Maura is his, Maura is his life now. No one can take Maura from him, except death. But looking at his socioeconomic status now, Fabian has nothing but his job as a doctor as well as a small resort in Bali. 

"So that's what made you daydream earlier?" Ask Maura. He smiled faintly as he looked at Fabian who nodded his head. "Bee!" Maura was now the one who actually held onto Fabian's hands while looking at Fabian with a shady smile. "If you are afraid of losing me and I prefer those who are richer than you. You should have proven to me that you can and can make me happy even without luxury. I'm ready to fight with you from below. Opening business and business for our future. For our children."

Fabian smiled brokenly with teary eyes. He did not expect that Maura actually accepted it and invited himself to open a business as well as a joint venture for the future of their small family. Maura was willing to fight with him from below that really made Fabian moved. "Are you sure you want to fight from the bottom with your husband who doesn't have any of this?" Fabian made sure again even though he actually did not need to ask again.

"Hmm!!" Maura smiled and nodded. "I am very willing and eager to fight with you for our future."

Fabian smiled almost laughing with tears, he cried with tears because Maura would accept it also want to fight with him. Fabian hugged Maura's body tightly. He also dyed the top of Maura's head several times. "Thank you, Amor. Thank you." Thank you."

Maura smiled, nodding in Fabian's arms. He reciprocated Fabian's embrace was no less tight. Fighting with a halal couple is his dream. Although his life is mixed with treasure, but Maura wants to have her own business and business with her husband. Maybe he could give it to his son. 

Fabian released his embrace, he cupped Maura's face. Smiling looking at the beautiful face of the wife. Slowly Fabian peeked at the old Maura's forehead. He was truly grateful to God who sent a woman as his wife who had a soft heart and a big soul like Maura. Although he comes from a well-respected family, a conglomerate family, but willing to fight with himself who does not have anything.

Maura smiled sweetly returning Fabian's gaze after her husband released his kiss on her forehead. "Bee, may I ask you a question?" Maura's permission to ask Fabian something.

"What do you want to ask?" Fabian said while hugging Maura's waist.

"I heard from Uncle Andre that you were offered to be the deputy director of the hospital, but you don't want to accept it yet. Why don't you accept it? Isn't that a good opportunity for your career?" Maura asked who was so curious what reason made her husband had not yet accepted the offer given by Andre.

Fabian released his embrace on Maura's waist, he shifted his body and stood facing outside, looking at the still bright morning clouds with still clean air as well. Fabian seemed to be breathing out slowly. "The offer that doctor Andre gave me was really good for my future career. Even Bryan's father forced me to accept the offer, but I refused. I don't want my achievements to be considered their equal because I married you, the daughter of the Abrisam family. I want to fight for myself to get to that position and compete with them for that position properly and properly if I deserve to be in the position of deputy director of the hospital." Fabian explained the reason why until this moment he still did not want to accept the offer that Andre gave. Fabian moved his head, turning towards Maura. "That's why I always refused Andre's doctor's offer, because I wanted to fight for myself to be in that position."

Maura smiled faintly, she understood what Fabian was feeling right now. For sure Fabian wants to prove to those who look down on her husband that she is able and can be in the position of deputy director of the hospital with her own efforts without any connection from the Abrisam family.

Maura held Fabian's left hand and rubbed it gently. "I will always support you, pray for you all the time and your steps, and always be by your side no matter what. Except death is also a betrayal." Maura said firmly in the last sentence.

"I know." Fabian hugged Maura's body again. "Thank you for supporting me, Amor." Fabian said sincerely. "I also want to apologize because until now I have not been able to take marriage leave. I can't call you Honeymoon yet. They're still watching me. I still have to report to the general department every day. I promise, once the atmosphere is conducive, I'll take my leave and we'll go honeymoon wherever you want."

Maura slightly moved away from Fabian's body without letting go of Fabian's embrace. He looked up slightly, looked Fabian Fabian in the eye and smiled. "I'm waiting for that time to come. Time where we'll spend alone time with no one to bother."

"Thank you for being patient with me, Amor." Fabian kissed Maura's lips briefly.

Maura released a hug from Fabian. He smiled sweetly at Fabian. Maura slightly tiptoed, bringing her face closer to Fabian's face. "Together my heart." Maura replied in a soft voice. "I love you." Maura's whisper was right in front of Fabian's face. Maura also kissed Fabian's lips briefly before he finally passed away to hide his red-coloured face in shame of his confession.

Fabian pulled both corners of his lips up to form a smile that almost laughed at Maura's confession of love. "I know you love me. I love you, too Maura Hanin Az-Zahra."
