90 Days Pursuing My Husband's Love

90 Days Pursuing My Husband's Love
10. Sculled



"Adam please, stop." Said Claudia again.


Adam stopped his action by clucking in annoyance. He did not look at Claudia's face, his eyes were still focused on Claudia's neck that he had kissed earlier.


"Why? Is something wrong now? You're the one who teased me. It makes me lustful. Now especially? Ahh, let me guess, how could I possibly forget the most important thing. Take it easy, tell me. How much are you gonna charge overnight?"


The first time listening to it Claudia's eyes seemed to be emitting flames of anger but she quickly refrained from escaping her control. He took a deep breath in order to hold back his anger, because he already had a plan in his head.


Claudia took her breath in.


"How much do you usually pay overnight?" Claudia asked with a bitter smile, a smile that looked pitiful and Adam did not see that.


"It's none of your business, you call it how much you want." Adam said by returning to his position that had kissed Claudia's neck.


Claudia tried to hold down the****** that came out of her mouth and said, "just do it, I'll tell you the price later," Claudia replied with a flat face.


"Are you that desperate?" Adam said while kissing Claudia's neck again ferociously.


Claudia closed her eyes, then felt her tears falling down her cheeks to her ears and she remained silent.


Adam is currently kissing Claudia's chest.When her phone vibrates, she stops the action and swears annoyed. He got up from above Claudia's body and reached into her cell phone that was in her pants pocket.


My dear wife: 'Stop the suspension done to Lisa.'


The cell phone that was in Adam's grasp just fell to the floor when consciousness returned to him.


What's he been doing? What has entered him? Has he lost his mind?


Adam squeezed his hair violently before he looked at the girl he had been fondling since then had already sat on the edge of the bed by looking at her with an indecipherable gaze.


Adam returned in his suit and opened the door violently and looked at the girl sitting on the bed with a deadly look and said, "sad."


Claudia now smiled wickedly. His smile is so meaningful. And it is true that he sent the message to Adam. Claudia got up, then walked out of the room indifferent to her messy hair, her neck full of red marks and her slightly bloody lips.


***********


Adam quickly went home without taking Nadia first. He was constantly seen typing messages to his wife.


Adam: Why? How do you know all this? Have you heard of the incident? Trust me, I have nothing to do with that girl. It was all his work and the crazy challenges he was doing with his friends. I don't know why he did it myself.'


Adam arrives home, he looks busy looking at his cell phone. There was no reply from the message he sent. Adam bit his nails because he was nervous.


He cursed himself for everything he did in that room last night. He could not believe that he was cheating on his wife. Adam punched the wall very hard. After 1 hour and a half, a reply came from his wife.


My dear wife: 'This is the price of every minute I give you for touching me. Stop Lisa's suspension right now.'


Adam was very surprised, he read the message from Claudia repeatedly. But every time he read the message, it meant the same thing to Adam: 'This is the price of every minute I give you for touching me. Stop Lisa's suspension right now.'


"That means....." Adam was stunned, he could not think clearly. No one had ever seen his face with such an expression.


First, all he did was call Erik to ask him to stop the suspension given to Lisa. Then he called Naomi.


"I want you to send me a picture of Claudia." Adam said with a voice.


"Dam, you know for yourself, I can't do that to you."


"Naomi please, I've fucked up. Things are getting worse. Please help me." Adam said.


Adam explained everything to Naomi. Naomi could only shut up. He was finally able to understand the situation and the woman told by Adam was none other than Claudia, his own wife.


Naomi finally gave up on the problems of the two husbands and wives. He wants peace. He then sent a photo of Claudia to Adam and then laid himself on the bed while twitching his forehead. He knew that tomorrow would be a long day.


Adam opens the picture sent by Naomi.


His eyes widened. He was so shocked that he made his hand shake. He then fell down like he lost his balance sitting on the sofa.


Claudia's... Claudia Arista Setyawan was his wife, the girl who kissed him that night.


The girl he kicked out of Starlight. Starlight mall's. Claudia is the owner of the mall and Adam drives her out of it.


The girl who rejected him to shake hands and the girl who said 'I love you' to him and the girl who yelled at him inside a boutique.


The girl he threw into the sea. The girl he offered money to spend the night with.


Adam closed his mouth in shock. He doesn't know how to react. What if the girl can't swim? He could have killed his own wife. How could he offer money to his own wife to spend the night with him? Adam punched the wall again in frustration.


Adam gets another message, which makes him rush to pick up his phone.


My dear wife: 'Thank you for cancelling the suspension for Lisa. See you tomorrow.'' See you.'


Adam: 'Claudia can we meet now. I want to tell you a lot of things. I want to apologize for everything I've done to you.'


There was no reply from Claudia. Adam closed his eyes and recalled everything he had done to Claudia.


*********


The next morning Adam woke up very early because he was going to meet Claudia for the first time, no, at least it was their sixth or seventh meeting. For the first time, they met as husband and wife. Claudia said yesterday that she will come to Adam's house today.


Naomi herself had arrived at Adam's residence since this morning, because since last night she had not slept quietly.


"Naomi I want to know everything. Please tell me everything." Adam Say.


"Nothing to know now. It's true he asked you for time, and then you went to Canada. That girl, just graduated from school and is 18 years old. He got a negative perspective on life. Since the age of 10 years he has seen everything negatively because of the loss of a Mama figure. You must know for yourself who her real parents are. At such a young age, he had already lost two figures that meant so much to him. Mother and Mother of Her Foster. When entering adolescence he was immediately married by his father to you. After that, his father died. Especially what he can do at the age of 18 years. And he lived in an environment that averaged 18 years old, and he himself married. He certainly did not want this marriage. All of these things had already severely damaged him from within. He hated what was called an affair. And all about relationships, commitment and marriage, he doesn't believe it. Moreover, he was once disappointed when he first had a lover. The man never loved her, he just wanted the money. Ah, we don't have to talk about it, the point is that it's not all his fault." Naomi said at length.


Adam could only be silent, listening to all Naomi's words seriously.


"Yes, he did ask for time from you, but you left him for 2 years instead. Trust me Dam, leaving him alone in a house filled with guards and servants, to face the world alone, you should be able to support him, keeping him to face this harsh world. So, all this time he chose to be a person so hard. Like to act excessively because he does not want others to regulate it, likes to talk rudely because he does not want people who first talk rude to him. All the negative things he did was because he was afraid to face everything alone. Even so, I knew full well that she was actually just a young girl in need of affection and guidance. And you were supposed to do all those tasks, but you failed. Like I said, he hates infidelity. But, she always saw you with Nadia. I know you're actually innocent in that. But what did you do last night? How can you.... Do you understand what an affair is? If that's not the case with her, then imagine what it would be like if you slept with someone else. I'm not what I'm thinking right now. I really don't know."


Naomi sighed, while Adam could only be silent from now on. A servant came to tell the two that Claudia had arrived.


Adam took a deep breath, he prepared to meet Claudia.


Claudia went into the house wearing a white t-shirt with the bottom of which she put in black jeans, with the outside wearing an oversize shirt and also black boots.


Adam's gaze shifted to Claudia's neck where there were a lot of red marks from the kiss that he did last night. Claudia did not even bother about the sign and did not try to cover it up.


Adam felt guilty. Naomi's words came back to her ears.


"Good morning Brother Naomi." Greetings Claudia.


Naomi smiled and nodded.


"Claudia, I want to tell you something. Look...."


Naomi was about to say something, but Claudia cut her off.


"Sister Naomi, I came here to talk to my husband. Can it?" Claudia said in a cold voice.


"We can talk in the upstairs room." Adam Say.


Claudia did not look at him, she just walked upstairs.


"All the best Dam, don't let this divorce happen." Naomi.


*********


Adam entered the room with a deep breath. Before he faced off against Claudia, the usual boss and cold aura attached to him instantly disappeared somewhere.


Claudia waited for herself to enter the room. As Adam walked in, Claudia immediately turned around and looked at him.


"Now you know who I really am. I'm sure, now you won't hesitate to sign the divorce papers." Claudia started her words.


Adam remained silent, he was busy staring at Claudia's face at such a close distance for the first time. How his lips moved spoke every word that came out of his mouth.


"Mr Adam Wijaya, I'm talking to you." Shouted Claudia who looked frustrated because she was not huddled.


Adam moved closer to Claudia, with his eyes still looking towards Claudia's lips. He then looked into Claudia's eyes, the two of them looking at each other in such a close distance.


"You're so pretty." Adam Say.


Claudia bit her lips trying to control her emotions.


"Sign the divorce papers. I want to leave immediately." Claudia.


Adam who had already lost control of himself, having first met his wife immediately pulled Claudia into his arms. Claudia tried to break away by pushing Adam's chest. But Adam really held it so tightly.


"Hey, what are you doing. Unhand me!" Claudia Shouts.


Adam kissed Claudia's hair.


"Wow, your hair is so fragrant. Ah, I still can't believe it, I can finally meet you." Adam was so happy.


"Stop all that crap and sign the letter quickly." Claudia.


"I don't want to divorce you. Never will." Adam smiled foolishly


Claudia was confused, she thought by meeting Adam like this, then she would agree to divorce him. But Adam's words confused him, especially when Adam smiled at him.


"Stop acted like you had a feeling for me. You cheated on me last night. Remember how thirsty you are to touch me. You're even ready to pay me, what a shame. I know now, how colorful every night you've been through. But, you don't want to tell me how much you pay for every night." Claudia.


Adam knew that all this would happen, he knew that Claudia would say all this.


Adam hugged Claudia even more tightly than choosing to answer her question.


"I'm sorry for everything I did to you. You can't forgive me or you'll do anything, but never call me a cheat, 'cause I never cheated on you." Adam hugged Claudia with a loving feeling.


Claudia tried to let go of Adam's embrace, but still couldn't.


"Stop all this shit. I don't want to talk to a traitor, you can't deny it. You've betrayed me, and I hate traitors." Claudia Shouts.


"But you kissed me. You started it all. Yeah, last night I kissed you back when you kissed me. I tried to refuse, but a few minutes later the hormones in my body gave up, yes I did offer you the money to pay for it all because I thought you wanted the pay. I'm also an ordinary man. First time at the hotel, you were drunk, you kissed me. Just imagine if it was someone else, then you're the one who cheated on me." Adam Say.


Claudia fell silent, she knew that Adam had a point.


"Yes, every time we meet, I admit I'm the one who's always looking for trouble. I am the one who always starts fights. But, that's all I've done because I'm pissed and mad at you because you stole the first kiss I've kept for my wife." Adam Say.


Claudia looked at Adam in surprise.


"But I will no longer defend myself for the faithful quarrel. You can punish me." Adam continues. "Trust me, since the first day of our marriage, I know very well that you hate infidelity so much. I can't imagine myself having an affair with another woman."


"Look, keep all those explanations to yourself. I don't need it. I just want a divorce, that's all. I don't want this wedding. You can't force me, I can take the law." Claudia.


Adam tucked Claudia's son's hair behind his ear and smiled. Naomi is right, that Claudia is still childish, immature, she still needs affection, attention and love. Unable to wait any longer, Adam will start showering Claudia with all that.


"First of all, you won't win against me legally. Second, no divorce can happen without you proving what I did wrong. You won't win against me anyway. So, I have a great idea." Adam stopped talking.


Claudia was still silent, trying to continue listening to every word Adam said.


"Three months, I give you three months. I've arranged everything, you can still go to the same place but this time you'll learn about film making and videography. The point is you should be able to improve your grades and successfully pass the final exam by becoming the student who gets the highest score. I will guide you and help you. You have to show me well that you can take any challenge in your life, after that I'll divorce you." Adam said.


Claudia continued to laugh, for at least two minutes. He could not move and could only laugh because he was still in Adam's arms.


Adam continued to wait until Claudia finished laughing.


"Have you finished laughing? Now are you ready?" Ask Adam.


"Heh, are you serious? You're my husband, stop acting like a father. For God's sake, I'll never accept any of this. I just want a divorce, that's all. I'll do anything to fight you legally." Claudia replies and encourages Adam to stay away from her.


Adam did not hold back Claudia, he chose to take a step back.


Claudia then rushed out of the house quickly, leaving a smile on the lips of the man she had left in the room.
