90 Days Pursuing My Husband's Love

24. Abandoned

Today was Friday and Claudia did not want to go through the courses her husband taught.

Adam went into class...

Like all the other girls and some boys, Claudia also couldn't focus on what Adam had to say in class. He even focused on staring at the charm of the husband who looks so charming.

'Well, he's very handsome. I've never seen a man this handsome in my entire life. His voice.... Oh my God, that sounds sexy and manly. She's so perfect.'

"Well, can someone say what I just told you?" Ask Adam.

The girls looked excited and excited, they were all vying to raise their hands, waving towards Adam, all of them. The men too, but most men even like to see the excitement created by the girls who idolize their handsome lecturer.

"First of all, I asked you to be there. The one sitting on the eighth row, was wearing a black t-shirt. Stand up and tell me what you just learned." Show Adam.

Everyone immediately turned their eyes to the person whom Adam had appointed, to see who was lucky.

After finding out who Adam was pointing at, they all started gossiping.

"Isn't he the one who blocked the entrance of the classroom earlier?"

"Yes, it's Claudia. The girl who was convicted yesterday, who treated us ice cream as her punishment."

"Yes, she's the most famous delinquent on campus."

****Flashback****

The entrance to the classroom is blocked by two students who are most famous for their mischief on campus, Claudia Arista Setyawan and Septiawan Endra. The two stood before the door, blocking the entrance of the students.

Claudia looks like she's chewing gum, she looks so domineering. Today he really showed his power to the other students. He and Endra choose which students can enter the class. His actions were of course unfair, but there was nothing they could do because they were afraid of Claudia and Endra.

"Hey Di... What the hell are you doing? You shouldn't have let those over-happy girls into class. But you did the opposite." Endra Protests.

"Because I want to test something. How the behavior and reaction of the Perfect Master to the girls who are crazy about him in the classroom later. It was a test for him today." Claudia said proudly as if she was an interstate border guard.

But when the men started to protest, "look guys, there were a lot of students who wanted to take Mr. Adam's class. We're here to control your wishes" Claudia said. "And for you guys, why can't you let these beautiful women take classes. Be a gentleman, let these girls in." Claudia.

"Guys, today the weather is very bright. Come on, I'll treat you to eat anything later in the cafeteria. Just follow Claudia's will." Endra's words try to help Claudia overcome the men who also want to get into the classroom.

When Adam came into the classroom, he was surprised that the whole class was filled with the fragrance of women's perfumes. And there were only a few men who attended his class.

Adam then put his things on the table and stared at the students. Find out where he wants to see. The sight of the two met, where the girl smiled as if she was winning something. Adam could then guess what was really going on, he could only shake his head.

****Flashback off****

The girl that all the students were talking about was still busy with her thoughts. The student sitting next to him immediately nudged him with his elbow.

Claudia. He looked around and realized that everyone was staring at him.

"What's? Why is everyone looking at me like this?" Claudia asked confusedly.

The girl beside him whispered, "hmmmm Di, Mr. Adam asked you to answer his question."

"What did he ask? I don't know anything." Claudia said as she scratched her non-itchy head.

Embarrassed, Claudia stood up and began to open her book, but not a word came out from inside her mouth.

"Since you can't answer my question, then come and stand in front of the class." Adam said in a calm voice.

Claudia stepped forward, then stood behind Adam.

"Stay standing there and listen to what your lecturer says until the class ends." Adam then continued the class.

Claudia was so embarrassed. This was the first time he was punished by a teacher. Nine out of ten lecturers would not dare to punish him even if he had made a mistake. But, this guy. He was not nine out of ten of those lecturers.

Throughout the lecture, Claudia stood behind Adam. Claudia was actually starting to enjoy the view of the back of her husband. Moments later, she began counting the strands of her husband's hair, saying, "the unemployed man is actually a hard-working devil."

"So, Miss Claudia. Can you repeat what I just said?" Ask Adam.

"Ah, you said.... I'm..." Claudia was at a loss for what to say, she cursed herself inwardly.

Adam started to look angry, then...

"Miss Claudia, I need you to meet me at the office after this class is over. Today's course is very important for the next test. So I want you to understand everything."

The other students were surprised.

"What's? Mr Adam wanted to teach him directly in his room? Any together? Why is that girl always lucky. I want to be in his position."

"Don't worry, there's still time next time."

"Well, that delinquent girl is always lucky."

In Adam's room....

Adam put all his tools on the table and sat in his chair.

Adam realizes that the girl in front of him has remained silent ever since he was convicted. Actually Adam was hoping that the girl would get angry, but there, he kept his head down standing there.

Adam stood up and drew closer to Claudia, then grabbed Claudia by the hand and pulled her to sit on her lap as Adam sat back in his chair. Adam then began to massage Claudia's knees, while her left hand wiped Claudia's hair covering her vision.

"Does it hurt here?" Ask Adam.

But Claudia immediately brushed Adam's hand off his knee.

"Why do you care? I'm not a parent like you anyway." Claudia said in a voice that sounded angry, like she was protesting.

But Adam laughed, and hugged Claudia very tightly from behind.

"But you're the guilty one. You're not focused on what I'm saying." Adam Say.

"And you think the others can? No one is focused on listening to what you are saying. They're all fascinated by you. Busy looking at you, even thinking nothing of you. But of all the people you chose me. You're so unfair. Just because you had a grudge against me, you embarrassed me in front of them. You did it yesterday too. I am Claudia Arista Setyawan, a student who has never been punished before, now they are all mocking me. They will all dare to fight me. It's all because of your actions. You didn't even ask anyone else after me. Ihate you. And I know, I was right about you, you always act like this to me." Claudia sounded angry, and tried to get up from her seat, but Adam held her back by hugging her even more tightly.

"First, I know very well that the girls did not listen to me at all. But I don't care. My only goal is you, and your future. Second, I have absolutely no grudge against you, my dear. It all happened because I didn't know your true identity. When will you understand. And lastly, would you be happy if the other girl right now was in your position? You still don't understand. I just want to spend time with you. Try to think Di, what if, another girl is in your position. I could've been raped by them, I'm your husband Di, think about it." Adam said at length.

Claudia rolled her lazy eyes.

"His husband? But what I've seen and felt all along is, you're acting like a Papa to me. You're treating me like your daughter."

Adam became broken.

"So, you want me to do something that only a husband does?" Adam then began to hold onto Claudia's chest.

"Sir Lecturer, you took a chance from me. I'm here to study as you asked. If you wish that I would act like those girls who are big fans of yours who are willing to sleep with you, you're wrong about me." Claudia said with a furrow of her brows. "And stop kissing me, whenever you get a chance. Don't you know how big a mark I left just because of a kiss." Claudia said before leaving Adam's room.

Adam sighed and smiled as well. He knew that Claudia was right. Claudia is not the girl like most girls who complain, where they will voluntarily sleep with Adam with just one blink of an eye. And that's the difference between Claudia and them. Claudia has never shown any interest in Adam's wealth and neither wants to sleep with Adam, nor tease him. Who wouldn't want a husband like Adam Wijaya?

"You are different, my wife, my dear." Adam said as he leaned back in his chair.

Adam then sent a message to Claudia.

(Btw, do you want to see a movie? There is a new horror movie coming out today. Want to go on a date while watching?)

(Dating alone, you perverted old man.)

That is the reply message that Adam got, he was uprooted and could imagine how his wife's face was today, without even having to see it.

********

Claudia was on her way to dance class when she received a friend request from an account called 'A'. Claudia did not know who it was, and immediately accepted the friend request thinking the account could be one of her classmates. Claudia then put her phone in the bag.

However, Claudia recalled something, she took her phone back and wrote a status.

'He is a wolf in sheep's clothing.'

'Who is khem* your khem?' endra commented.

Other people also started commenting.

'Who?'

'Did you finally have a boyfriend?'

'Oh, is that your Sugar Daddy?'

Are you talking about Mr Adam? He called you into his room today.'

'Well, yeah, well, did he tease you? Don't tell me he's trying to do something to you. You're not her type at all.'

Comments like that kept coming, making Claudia roll lazy eyes and put the phone back in her bag without replying to any of the comments.

****************

The next Wednesday, was Adam's class teaching again.

Adam enters the class, this time the class is not as full as usual. Adam again looked for the figure he had always missed, and finally he found the girl sitting on the front bench. This surprised Adam a little.

'What's on his mind today?' think Adam before he starts college.

Nothing happened, everything was normal. Unlike the day before, this time Claudia seemed to take the lecture very seriously. He even recorded something in his little notebook. However, the strangest thing happened was that, whenever their eyes were looking, Claudia always blinked her eyes.

At first, Adam thought he saw it wrong. But no, he was right. The girl kept paying attention to the lectures she delivered, but also kept winking at her.

Adam was so confused. He never felt anything when the women winked at him. Be it supermodels, actresses, divas, or beautiful socialites, all have no effect on Adam. But the blink of this girl's eyes made Adam lose his focus and concentration. Adam tried to shift his eyes so as not to look at his wife, but could not. Because his heart kept asking him to look towards the girl.

The class finally ended, as did the trembling feeling Adam felt. He started tidying up his luggage, as suddenly the girls were running around swarming around him. They push each other, scrambling to confront Adam.

Adam's eyes looked for his girl figure among all the crowd of girls who approached him. He was finally able to see the girl who was still sitting with her legs crossed, hands folded on her chest and a very sharp look. Adam knew exactly what his wife felt from the look in his eyes.

"Sir Adam, there's something I still don't understand. Can you explain it to me...?"

"Sir Adam, I cannot understand how to write the next task. Can you help me?"

Claudia's eyes stared so sharply at Adam as if they could instantly stab into his heart. Adam tried to answer the girls' questions as quickly as possible so that he could get out of the crowd. As he continued to push each other, a girl almost fell down. Adam swiftly pulled the girl's hand to save her from falling to the floor. The girl was embarrassed and thanked him.

Adam received a new message and read it.

^_My wife Sweetheart 'SOME

'Adam Fucking Wijaya, don't come home tonight. I don't want to see your face.'

Adam wanted to scream, then rushed to leave the girls.

Claudia seemed to be waiting for a reply, but there was no response.

At night, Claudia was lying in her room and seemed to put ears to hear every sound coming from the front of the house through the windows and doors of her room. Her husband didn't come home until night. The last time Claudia saw him was in class. Adam wasn't even there when Claudia was studying in her study this afternoon, not at dinner. It's midnight anyway. Claudia did not hear the slightest sign of Adam's car coming.

Claudia was getting worried now.

'Is he really angry with me? Did he decide not to go home? Have I gone too far? After all, this is his home. How can I ask him not to go home.'

Some Claudia tried to call Adam, but was inactive. He also tried to send a message, but it could not be sent. No one to contact. Even Naomi and Erik nobody picked up the phone.

Claudia took a deep breath, then tried to send Adam a message again.

'Dw...'

The message could finally be sent, Claudia smiled and felt happy.

Suddenly, he gets a phone call from Naomi.

"Halo Brother. Where have you all been exactly? I've been trying to call you all since this afternoon." Claudia said to Naomi with a question.

"Darling, we were actually on that flight." Reply Naomi.

"Flightings? Where are you now? Where's she? Why won't he pick up my phone?" Claudia was so worried, she did not realize that she was trembling.

"We are now in Singapore. He's here with us too. We leave in a hurry. Right after your college. He's meeting now." Answer Naomi.

"When are you coming back?"

"Don't know baby, it could be a month, it could be more. We don't know yet. I'll be back tomorrow, but he'll stay here. The projects that are here need him now. There is an emergency about the projects here and the client asks him to stay here until everything is done. I don't know what he's gonna do."

Claudia disconnects the phone call and throws her phone. He then pulled the blanket over his body, then rubbed his eyes with the blanket. Yes, he was crying. He was afraid the past would repeat itself. Again and again, he was left alone. The reason is also the same, none other than corporate affairs. Claudia was scared, she was really very scared. He didn't know why, but he was completely filled with fear right now.

'I am a fool. I repeat the worst mistake I ever made again.'

Claudia wrote down the word in her story, and was seen by an account called 'A'. Claudia then put her phone away from him. He did not know when he was asleep, but his tears did not stop flowing.

Seriate....
