Marry Me, Mr. Lecturer

Resignedly

Niki walked towards her class accompanied by Fera. Various eyes were directed towards him. As he walked towards his class, Niki kept his head down. He is not ready to face today.

His steps came to a halt as a woman blocked his path. The woman did not want to get away from the path she was about to walk. Niki's gaze was directed at the high-toed shoes that were impossible for students to use on campus. From the good shoes and the smell of expensive perfume, Niki knew who was standing tall before her. Slowly raising her head, she found Marisa looking at him with a condescending look.

"Still small is good at seducing people's husbands," scorned Marisa. Some students are getting closer. Niki tries to find a loophole and will avoid Marisa.

"Where are you? We're not done yet." Marisa blocks Niki's strong arm.

"Let go! This is the campus area, I hope that Mba Marisa has the ethics to not make a fuss at the workplace of her husband Mba himself," Niki half-whispered.

"You're talking about ethics with me?" Marisa's getting cynical looking at Niki, "Where is your ethics when teasing the husband of the person who is your own lecturer? It is amazing this campus. I wonder what they teach their students." Marisa instead of slowing down her voice, she half exclaimed in the open area so as to lure more people to gather to find out.

"I have a class, excuse me." Niki tries to escape again, but Marisa pulls her hand again.

"Dare to face reality? Your mama used to be like that too. Once you know you're the girl, I'm not so surprised." Marisa walks around Niki, "Fruit falling will not be far from the tree, an auxiliary woman will give birth to a calf." Marisa whispered in Niki's ear.

"What does that mean?" Niki turned around quickly. He felt angry that his mother was brought into his trouble.

"Just ask your Mama, it's also that if she has broken her veins, your mama will definitely tell you everything." Marisa smiled triumphantly when she saw Niki had been provoked by her emotions.

"Don't slander!"

"Did your mother ever tell you she was in the same position as you are today? Woman snatch men's husbands." Marisa said out loud. Instantly the students who surrounded them were prickly beams, whispering to each other with condescending gazes at Niki.

"Liar!" Niki pushes Marisa's body. Using high heels, Marisa makes a little staggered unable to maintain balance. Marisa fell even though she did not fall.

Some of the students who had come to watch shouted at Niki, and others helped Marisa stand up.

"nik! Don't make a fuss here, you want to get kicked out of college?" Farel and an employee came over to Niki and Marisa.

Marisa who saw her husband coming, pretended to endure the pain and held her stomach.

"You why? We're going to the hospital?" Farel turned his attention to Marisa who was sitting on a long bench accompanied by several female students who felt sorry for her. Although Farel disliked his wife's behavior, he did not want anything to happen that harmed the innocent fetus in Marisa's stomach.

"No, I want to go home. Can you deliver?" Marisa looked weakly at Farel. His hands continued to hold his stomach as if he was in pain.

"Let's go home," asked Farel he wanted to immediately separate these two women. Marisa was struggling on Farel's arm, she transferred some of her body weight to her husband. Slowly Farel led him towards the parking lot. At first glance he glanced at his little wife, but Niki turned his head so that he did not know what was inside the little head.

Niki was still pecking at where she was standing after Marisa and Farel moved away. The voice of disdain and demeanour was still thrown by some people who passed by. He only realized when Fera's hand pulled him into his car.

Fera takes Niki away from campus. They both remained silent in the car.

"You know before marriage, if Mr Farel already had a wife?" asked Fera after Niki's cry eased a little. Niki nodded her head as she continued to stare out the window.

"Why do you want to get married?"

"I asked," said Niki faltered. He knew that his words could make her look like a breng sek woman. Fera frowned, he still could not believe the words of his friend.

"How can you ask for marriage to a married man!" Fera is burning with emotion.

"What a drawer, I deserve," said Niki resignedly. In her mind now was not only about her, but Marisa's words about her Mama. How did he find out the truth? Which man was taken by his mother?

"You're crazy, Nik!" spray Fera.

"I'm really crazy. I'm crazy about Mr. Farel, and he's my husband now. Then what should I do? To let the man I love be hurt by his wife? Mba Marisa is evil, Fer!"

"Well he's evil or not, it's none of your business. You have no right to take it!" The two continued to argue in the car.

"What do you think I should do? Leaving my husband?" Niki looked at Fera with tears streaming down. His voice shakes withstanding emotions. Niki obviously knew her position was wrong and weak, but her heart said another.

Fera pulled his car over on the side of the road, they were silent for quite a while. Two opposing heads and minds with conflicting feelings.

"I don't agree with your relationship with Mr. Farel. I know I have no right to judge you, but as a friend I only suggest the best" said Fera lirih.

"Thank you." Niki then got out of the car and stopped any passing city transport. He chooses a seat that is safe from the view of other passengers.

Now that Niki knew, she was alone. Nobody supports it, nobody understands it. Marisa may be evil, but in people's eyes she's the real villain. Even her husband left her alone in the middle of a group of students who looked at her like a hungry lion who wanted to tear her apart.

Niki doesn't want to go back to her apartment tonight, she needs someone's shoulder and a hug. He decided to go home.

When he entered the house, the only one who greeted him with a friendly smile was Papa, while Mama looked at him suspiciously as if he wanted to pry at his head.

"Why are you alone, where's your husband?" asked Papa as they sat around the dining table.

"Farel's got work out of town, Pa." Indeed, he also did not know where and how Farel was after the commotion this morning on campus. Her husband did not give any news at all and also did not reply to the message he sent, "Niki tonight want to sleep at home, can still be?" continued Niki.

"Well, by the way, you are forever your home" said Papa.

"Farel' is the lecturer, what work is there outside the city?" chase Mama.
