Genius Wife and Superstar Husband

Episode 54: Otaku

Carolina looked at Andi who was still holding her car door.

For Andi, he does not know why the man who is usually cold to him now looks friendly even to open the car door for him like a gentleman.

Andi is still young, his age seems not to be in his 30s, still around 25 or 26 years, but because of his hard work and leadership, he has been appointed as a project manager, he said, it usually takes a few more years before you can get the title.

Carolina then looked at Ethan who was still holding his waist which had been pinched by Carolina.

Just like Andi, Carolina was also confused as to why the stupid red apple was such a hobby to show her finger, often saying in a commanding tone but still wanting to stay close to her.

“Did he deliberately want to tease me so he could take me to bed again?” thought Carolina suddenly. Just now the stupid red apple wanted to discuss the incident in Bali.

“Huh! It took 1000 years for you to take me to bed again!”

Carolina decides to walk up to Andi's car, but before getting in, she looks back at Ethan and says.

“Sorry sir Ethan, I'm the apprentice child is not comfortable if you have to ride in the car of the CEO of the company where I intern,” he said while putting on an apologetic expression.

Ethan is a little disappointed that Carolina refuses to go with him, he initially invites the woman because it looks like it will be fun if you go together.

Ethan, who thought that the woman did not want to get into his car because Andi was the boss of his team and wanted to keep his image, finally just nodded and got into his car.

After entering the hospital coordinates of 400 power stones in the gps, Andi and Ethan begin to step on the accelerator.

“Don't forget to wear his seat belt,” said Andi who glanced towards Carolina who had not worn his seatbelt.

“Ah well, sir Andi,” answered Carolina who finally obeyed Andi said.

“Indeed it may feel uncomfortable, but there are a lot of people who die when a car accident just because they don't wear seat belts. Just in case there is no harm,” said Andi again. Carolina just nodded.

“Since when have people been talking so much gini?” think Carolina.

The mood in the car was silent. Andi focused on the road ahead while Carolina was busy reading the manga.

“You otaku*?” andi asked as she glanced at Carolina and saw that she was reading a manga.

(* a Japanese term used to refer to people who actually pursue hobbies, but outside Japan is usually used to refer to people who like Japanese culture such as anime/manga)

Carolina was a little surprised when she heard Andi's question, usually if people saw her watching anime or reading manga, they would label her wibu.

Mention for people who are crazy about things that smell of Japan ranging from culture, customs and also others. These people often mix Indonesian with Japanese.

Wibu is definitely an otaku, while otaku is not necessarily a wibu.

“Ah, not really. I just love reading comics,” said Carolina who did not want to be stamped as an otaku let alone wibu.

“Not that manga has an animated adaptation, right? Do you like watching that too?” ask the curious Andi again. Usually women of Carolina age would prefer things that smell Korean than Japanese.

“Iya, if the manga sales smoothly, usually it will be adapted into anime, yes if it is not busy once in a while I watch it,” Carolina replied trying to keep her image so as not to look like an otaku.

“Usually women your age love things that smell Korean, do you also like that?” andy finally asked that.

“Oh no, I just like watching his variety show. When it comes to kpop or Korean dramas, I'm not interested, ” Carolina replied bluntly. When it comes to Korea, he does prefer to watch variety shows because usually Korean variety shows are good and funny, it sometimes helps to raise his mood again down.

“Oh, means you don't idolize Ethan sir like Desi for example?” ask Andi again. After learning that Ethan is coming to NamTech, his female classmates who find out that Andi works at NamTech contact him after a long time to ask about it, some even told him to ask for Ethan's signature.

“Ah no really, I just idolize my papa only. For idols or actors from Korea, Japan, the west and Indonesia, I was just neutral. Not idolizing or hating,” Carolina replied

Andi only nodded when she heard it. Realizing that the conversation from earlier was only one-way and she seemed to look disrespectful, Carolina asked back,

Carolina is quiet and doesn't talk much to people who aren't too close to her but that doesn't mean she's a shy person. He just doesn't like to talk stale, but he tries hard to change his nature like that.

“I? No, I never watch Korean shows, but if the anime likes it. What kind of movie do you like?” ask Andi.

“There is no special genre anyway, as long as the story is interesting and good,” replied Carolina.

Andi once again just nodded and the atmosphere became quiet again.

“Carol,” call Andi suddenly.

Carolina, who had returned to reading the manga, turned her head. “Ya, sir Andi?”

“Friday later after work.. want to watch together?” andi asked as she glanced towards Carolina.

“Frozen 2 from Disney is currently airing, I want to watch it but it feels strange a man watching Frozen 2 alone,” continued Andi again.

“What the-! Did he just invite me to ngedate?” thought Carolina was surprised. She had been able to feel Andi's attitude towards her lately was different, but Carolina thought that she might not be what Andi had imagined.

Never at all thought by him that Andi would like it let alone invite him to ngedate!

“Keep sir Andi watch Frozen 1 how?” ask Carolina. If Andi wants to watch Frozen 2, doesn't that mean he's already watching Frozen 1?

“It... when Frozen 1 was on air I was in thesis, so I couldn't watch it in the cinema. Finally I just watched it after I finally graduated, I even watched it alone through my laptop in the room for fear of being seen by others. Men in their 20s even watch Frozen,” said Andi honestly with a shy smile.

Carolina smiled amusedly when she heard that, she could imagine Andi who had indeed watched the Frozen movie in her room.

“Wah, if when Frozen 1 airs Pak Andi is thesis, it turns out Pak Andi is old, yes!” caroline was joking.

“I am old, you just call me father,” replied Andi with a smile, making Carolina a little misbehaved.

“So how? Do you want me to watch Frozen 2?” ask Andi again.

“Sorry Mr. Andi, I want to do it anyway, but Friday I will not come to the office,” Carolina said with a smile apologizing.

“Ah, do you have a lecture schedule on Friday?” andi recalled that on Friday Carolina asked for permission not to enter.

Carolina nodded.

“Hmm.. Thursday also seems not to be able because tomorrow is still working. If it's Saturday, the ticket price must be more expensive,” murmured Andi who can be heard by Carolina.

“It turns out he's the one with the calculations too,” thought Carolina nodded her head in agreement. Ticket prices for weekends and weekends are different, although on Fridays they also cost a little more, but are more expensive on Saturdays and Sundays.

“You went to Smart University, right? What if I pick you up? You see, ticket prices on weekends are more expensive and I don't really like going out at night if I have to come to work tomorrow. That's the hell if you don't mind,” asked Andi again offer.

Carolina was silent for a while and thought about her plans, lately she no longer needed money so she would not take her side job as an FA, he said, the proposal for his internship can also be completed because he started working on it last week, and the job at his internship is also not too difficult.

So this week it looks like he's free.

It doesn't hurt to walk out, does it? After all, they just went to watch an animated movie.

“Bby, but I don't promise ya. You see something sudden could happen,” said Carolina who did not want to promise that she could so Andi not too disappointed.

“Iya, we will talk again.” replied Andi with a smile.

“It looks like we've arrived,” said Carolina who can already see the hospital building.

“Wah yes, whereas the estimated time in his gps was 30 minutes. The time is fast passing, yes!” said Andi who still showed a smile on her face.
