Marry Me, Mr. Lecturer

THE NAPD 36

"Why'd he call you at night like this?"

"He's my friend and it's still seven, it's not too late for a friend to call." Niki tried to take her phone back, but Farel quickly raised his hand high up.

"You have a husband now, so anything about you I should know." Farel takes Niki's phone away from its owner.

"Hello" said Farel flatly as he answered the incoming call on his wife's phone.

"Hello? I'm sorry I may have been on the wrong side" replied Tomi across the street. He is shocked when the voice of the man is heard from Niki's phone. Repeatedly he saw the name written on his phone screen and made sure he didn't press the number wrong.

"You want to call, Niki? What was? You can pass it through me."

"Sorry who?"

"Farelle. I'm her husband, you know that, right?" There was a triumphant tone heard from Farel's voice.

"Oh yes, sorry I know ... Mr. Farel. Sorry if I was disturbing, Niki had asked me to come pick her up in the apartment and I was downstairs," Tomi said no less proud.

Farel glanced at Niki who crossed both hands on the chest with a fierce face.

"Sorry Tomi if it bothers you, it seems like Niki doesn't need your help right now. There I am now here with him. Thank you." Thank you." Farel immediately disconnected the phone and put Niki's phone in his pants pocket.

"Get me my phone, sir." Niki turned her palm towards Farel.

"You asked another man to pick you up here? Where are you going?" Farel paid no heed to Niki's hand being stretched out towards him. He put his hands on his waist and looked at his little wife sharply.

"home."

"This is your home, you're home."

"My house is with Papa and Mama. This is Mr. Farel's house."

"I'm your husband, Niki! This is your home too. Do you want a house that is not an apartment? I can buy it for you."

Niki just kept quiet not retaliating, because that's not what she wanted. Except for a confession from her husband.

"She was not ashamed to acknowledge me as a wife in front of Tomi? He could spread the news to all the students."

Niki knew that during her marriage to Farel, who was new for corn, her lecturer often kept his distance while on campus. Although the news has spread, but because there has been no official news, no one dared to blatantly offend it in front of Farel or Niki.

Only Farel's close friends and colleagues know for sure their story. Farel was still embarrassed by the incident, let alone Marisa ever come to campus making a small commotion.

"Why indeed? I said the truth is, you are my wife and why should you be ashamed?" kelit Farel's. Actually when he said that to Tomi, he was making a fence so that the young man did not dare to approach his. Niki's lips pout at her husband's words.

Farel's phone rang, his Mama's name was there. As he was about to pick up his phone and move away from his wife, Farel stopped looking at Niki's suspicious gaze. He answered the call right in front of his wife.

"Hello, Ma," said Farel. He intentionally uses a loudspeaker to let Niki hear who he is talking to.

"Have you forgotten, Mama's alive?" A hoarse voice and cough accompanied the disappointed tone of his mother.

"Don't say that, Ma. Farel forgot she still had a mom. Farel's schedule is solid teaching, Ma. Mama healthy in there?"

"Thankfully healthy. You how? Your wife said you are now busy, so pay less attention to her condition. You're too much Farel, that pregnant wife needs attention and affection. Don't be too busy with your work. Mama knows you like the world of teaching, but you are there only substitute lecturers only. Your real work is not to be left." Her long mother's advice seemed to pass through her ears. Farel was surprised his mother said his wife was pregnant, which wife was he referring to?

"Pregnant?"

"Farel knows, Ma. She's just embarrassed you knew before she reported this happy news." Marisa's voice behind her mother made Farel's hand go limp.

"Marisa's there?"

"Yes, this afternoon he was alone. Tega you, Farel. She said she was lonely because you were out of town, just be careful if you do anything as long as your granddaughter is not born .. uhuukk .. hukk .. uhuuk!" Mama's threat is interrupted by a disturbing cough.

Mama's declining health since her father died two years ago, making Farel have to resist his emotions and ego to not immediately gush Marisa on the phone.

"Ma, get plenty of rest." Farel tried to calm his mother.

"Go home a minute, Farel mama kangen. Just get your wife back."

"Yes, Ma. Tomorrow I take the morning flight."

Farel looked at his little wife with a giddy. Niki is waiting for an explanation. There was sadness in the girl's eyes. He had not yet introduced Niki to his mother. He still did not find the right time to explain to his mother the situation that occurred.

Farel rubbed his face tired. The matter that was in front of him was not finished now had increased by another one.

"Tomorrow morning I must fly to Semarang."

"Ow." Niki nodded her head understanding.

"Just for a second. I'm sorry I haven't been able to take you to see my parents."

"I understand because for Mama Mr. Farel, Mba Marisa is the real wife," said Niki pain.

"Not so, I just need time to explain everything to my mom. Maybe tomorrow's the right time."

"Then I go back to my house, why am I here if Mr. Farel leaves for the airport tomorrow morning."

"I've been delivering."

"No, I went home alone. Mr. Farel will be tired if he has to go back and forth."

"I can leave your mother's house."

"Too far to the airport, traffic jams can also miss the plane." Niki. He raised his hand and asked for his cell phone back.

"I'll take you home, or you'll stay here tonight" Farel said.

"Why can't I go home?"

"I don't forbid you to go home, but I forbid you to go home alone let alone with your friend."

"Tomi's good and she won't be rude to me."

"He's good because he wants to. What kind of nice guy still hopes to be alone with a woman who already has a partner?"

"What kind of woman is alone with a man in a hotel room but still Mr Farel puja as a good wife and hurt?" reply Niki sharp.

Not waiting for Farel's reply, Niki went straight into the room and slammed the door. He felt free and tired of arguing just to ask permission to go home.
