Married a High School Girl

Promise to go on vacation

Aditia looked at Lisa who this morning was not usually his wife's breakfast while reading a book.

It seems Lisa is more focused on the book she is reading than on her breakfast, even when Aditia almost finished breakfast, on the plate Lisa still left quite a lot.

"Lisa's. Finish the breakfast first.."

Aditia took a deep breath, and told his wife to finish breakfast first. Otherwise he'll be late for school because it continues like that.

Lisa remained silent, ignoring the words of her husband and continued to focus on her book.

Not only at the dinner table, even in the room earlier when Aditia just woke up she had seen his wife was reading a book next to her.

One time I told Lisa she still didn't respond. And ignore Aditia.

Again Aditia took a deep breath. And this time he stood up to Lisa who was sitting on her sidewalk.

Aditia takes Lisa's dinner plate, and feeds her.

"I'm bribing.." Say Aditia by giving a spoon of rice.

Lisa closed the book. She looked at Aditia with a smile, then pulled one seat next to her. Asking Aditia to bribe him while sitting next to him.

"Why are you reading a book at the dinner table?" Ask Aditia pleasantries, while feeding his wife.

"I have 2 days to test om, I have a lot to learn if my test score is good.." Lisa answered while chewing, like a child telling her parents.

Aditia nodded, now she understood why from waking up to breakfast his wife continued to read books. It turns out that Lisa is studying and absorbing knowledge, preparing for the final exam.

In Aditia's heart, he intends to find the best university in this city. Or even in Indonesia, for the continuation of his wife's education.

In accordance with what he promised Lisa and her family, he will finance all the needs of his wife. And if Lisa wants to continue her education to the University, Aditia will gladly give her best for this wife.

"Oh you deserve to keep reading books.. Next time you eat, eat first. Finish the meal first.. Don't forget anything else for focusing too much on the book." Aditia was soft.

Lisa smiled while nodding. Taking advice from her husband.

...***...

Lisa is now on her way to school, with Nathan delivering as usual.

In the car, Lisa smiles at herself and can't wait to finish the exam. Before leaving, Aditia promised a vacation wherever she wanted after her exams were over.

And Lisa can't wait for that.

Lisa hasn't been on vacation for a long time. Even Lisa forgot when the last time she went on vacation, because after her father died her life was a little different, her mother more often worked until late at night as a dressmaker.

Not only that, Lisa and her mother also rarely communicate.

"Miss.. It's over." Get Nathan from the steering wheel.

The dreamy Lisa is a little shocked by a call from Nathan, who tells her that the car has arrived at the school.

"Oh yes, om.. Thanks.." Lisa got out of the car.

...***...

The clock arrives. Lisa and Tania are having lunch in this canteen.

"Where's your husband? Is he good, or is he bad to you?" Tania asked in a quiet voice.

Tania is the only person in her school who knows that her best friend is married. Because Tania is the place to fight and share stories about whatever it is that she really needs to tell.

But because Tania is the place to tell stories, Lisa is happy to tell a little of her domestic life with Aditia. And Lisa enthusiastically tells Tania that she will go on vacation with Aditia when the exam has ended.

...***...

This afternoon Aditia returned the arrival of a guest whose arrival she did not want anymore. That's aunt Riska.

For the second time after almost a year of not meeting and lost without news, Aunt Riska came back to the office when Aditia was going to go for lunch.

That made Aditia cancel her intention to go out because it felt bad to leave Aunt Riska at the new time coming, and to invite him to go together for lunch even though this time it was not possible.

"You're getting more successful now.." Aunt Riska's pleasantries in the office canteen. Together with Aditia who finally prefers to eat at the office.

"That's how.." Aditia answered, focusing on her food.

Aunt Riska who did not eat and only accompanied Aditia smiled, with both hands on the hook to hold her chin.

"Auntie would like to apologize." Suddenly said Aunt Riska.

"I'm sorry." Answer Aditia quickly. While nodding his head.

For some reason, after an apology from Aunt Riska he lost his appetite, without finishing his meal and without saying goodbye to Aunt Riska, Aditia passed out of the cafeteria.

"Jo, you and Nathan please handle the rest of the day. I'm going home.." Aditia told Jo and Nathan. He wants to go home now because he doesn't want to see Aunt Riska for a reason.

...***...

The man in Aditia's yard took a deep breath before opening the car door.

He tried to calm himself down first, and did not bring his sense of regret into the house. Especially to be indifferent to his wife because of the annoyance. Aditia doesn't want to get there like that.

After feeling a little calmer, Aditia got out of the car.

"Of..." Lisa's voice came from the balcony of the room upstairs. With a waving hand complete with a sweet smile.

Aditia silently stared and returned the wave of his wife's hand. And soon Lisa came back into the room.

At the door, before Aditia stepped further into her house. He remembered the words of his wife who always commemorated to take off shoes when entering the family home.

For some reason, Aditia remembered this moment, and decided to take off her shoes.

Just finished taking off the shoes, and haven't had time to stand up yet. There was a voice from inside the house that shouted to his name.

Lisa ran up to him while stretching her arms, welcoming the return of her husband who did not usually come home in the not too late afternoon.

Aditia stood up and spread her arms, welcoming her into his arms.

"Om tumben home in the afternoon.. It's fitting so." Lisa said while hugging Aditia.

Aditia rubbed Lisa's back slowly, and clenched her eyebrows together because she was surprised by what Lisa said was fitting just now.

"Pass? What's wrong?" Aditia looked at Lisa.

Lisa smiled slightly raised her head, because Aditia was a little taller than him.

"Absolutely, fitting Lisa kangen same om. Uh.. I know I'm home.." Lisa smiled like a child.

Aditia rubbed the top of his wife's head and invited him to come inside.

In Aditia's mind, only this time he heard a direct story from his wife who said that he was missing Aditia.
