My Cruel Husband's

My Cruel Husband's
Attention to friends



Today the Devan family mansion is transformed into a studio for photos. Devan's little family is going through a photoshoot. The last time they did it was when Auristella was just born. Now, Auristella is approaching the age of one year so Devan wants to have the latest photos in every growing period of his children.


The concepts used are diverse. Starting from the classic, monochrome, full color, until cosplay becomes a character in the game that is currently being favored by Adrian and Andrean.


The most difficult to pose, of course, the youngest Lovi and Devan children. It took an extra fight for him to look at the camera. Auristella is busy with her own world when the photographer is ready with his camera.


And as usual, Adrian was most impatient to face his sister. He was tired of waiting for Auristella to be ready. Her mouth felt numb from too long of expression, but Auristella was completely inconsiderate.


"Come, Auristella. Look here, honey!"


Both grandmothers were behind the photographer, trying to attract the attention of Auristella who had been staring in the other direction.


"I'm the laziest when there's been a photo shoot like this" he said. Devan heard that. He hugged Adrian to be smarter again in holding patience.


"Okay, great. Stay this way, Auris."


Lovi helped point the child's chin in his lap to stare at the lens that was ready to aim at them.


"Successful!" please their photographer with pleasure. He was relieved, Devan's little family was relieved. Finally finished also persuading Auristella to look towards the camera. This is the most difficult challenge if it involves small children in shooting. When Adrian and Andrean were still the same age Auristella was not much different behavior. Even now it is still difficult to manage. They had asked Devan many times to end the photo session. The reason was tired of smiling when from the beginning, all parties released Andrean and Adrian for expression. Not told to always smile, according to their wishes only.


But Devan and Lovi are happy to do it. Because this will be a memory when they grow up. In the portrait all the moments will never be repeated again.


"Look at the results, Devan. Good all,"


Devan approached Lovi who was looking at one by one portraits of them earlier. He smiled to himself when he saw it.

Adrina had just washed her hands before enjoying the provisions brought. The four friends were picking up each other's supplies in their lockers.


When eating tom yam who became his lunch from the Mommy, Sheva, Adrina's tongue immediately felt hot burning. It feels really spicy. Sheva is not usually this kind of negligent. He knew that Adrina was not so fond of spicy. There's no way her Mommy forgot.


Adrina got up and because the spicy taste was too tormenting for her, Adrina hit the table. Quickly he reached for drinking water. Before long, all his friends came and were confused to see the behavior of Adrina whose face was red, did not stop hissing and drinking.


"Adrina why are you?" ask Thalia.


"Sedas, this is too spicy. Oh my God, I'm not strong" Adrina flicked her hand in front of her mouth. Adrian who saw it became unbearable. He immediately grabbed his drinking water and handed it to Adrina. Adrina's drinking water is over.


"Quick drinking!"


"No, that's yours,"


"It's okay. Just drink, quick!"


Revin, Andrean, and Thalia lost quickly in helping Adrina. They grimaced to see Adrina like this. Adrian took a notebook on Adrina's desk and made it as a cool giver for Adrina who had been sweating even though their class had a well-functioning air conditioner.


"Mommy you give too much sambal huh?"


"No, Mommy never forgets that I don't like spicy. Last morning I had a taste of this food as well and it didn't taste spicy at all" Adrina explained with her lips starting to red.


"Something seems to be working on you again, Adrina."


"St! don't talk carelessly. Remember the word Ms. Acha yesterday?" Thalia rebuked Revin, who had just been having an opinion.


"We'll report to Ms. Acha. I don't know why I'm also sure someone has been bothering you on purpose since yesterday,"


"No, I have to make sure Mommy. If it turns out Mommy was wrong---"


"If you've had time to taste this food this morning and it doesn't taste the same as it does now, it's not your Mommy's fault. There's something bad about you, Adrina."

Adrina had to enter the health unit at her school because her stomach immediately hurt after having consumed the spicy tom yam that became her provision earlier.


And Adrian explains everything to their teacher, Acha, who becomes the guardian of Adrian and Adrina's class.


With nothing to subtract and add, Adrian recounted what Adrina said before he fell ill.


Acha is more concerned about finding the mastermind of the two events experienced by Adrina. After watching the recording of the cctv in Adrian's class, Acha was able to draw a conclusion.


Right, something's bad about Adrina. He made Adrina fall ill. Adrina is not yet aware of the culprit, Acha deliberately covers up before the confession is uttered by the figure.


"Yes, I did it, Ms."


"What happened between you and Adrina?"


Acha deliberately spoke only four eyes with the girl. So that he would be more open to her.


"Hanga wants, there's no problem whatsoever with him,"


"No way, there must be something that makes you like that to Adrina. You know that your actions have disturbed Adrina's comfort. Now he's sick. Her parents don't know yet, Ms. intentionally hasn't spoken to them until you tell them the real problem,"


"All right, I'm honest,"


"In yesterday's race, Adrina's class won. And I still don't accept,"


"Jeez, just because of that problem?"


"He was always a prima donna, too. And I'm envious. I think all the students here feel the same way. The difference is, they're not as brave as I am in acting,"


"Something's wrong with you, Sheilla."


Apparently, the other grade child who made Adrina feel terrorized for these two days. Her name is Sheilla, a beautiful student who is also famous for her intelligence, just like Adrina.


But alas, his behavior is very against the rules and totally unexpected. The boy who had been considered sweet, even did evil because he lost a cheerleader match the other day. Where Adrina and Adrian compact class became the winner in a football match for his students and cheerleader for his students.


"I'm fine, Ms. I'm just venting out my annoyance,"


"But you shouldn't be like that. All students here deserve protection. So it feels very natural for the school to take decisive action by removing you from the school,"


"Ms, I promise not to repeat that deed again,"


Acha exhaled, to hold back her angry feelings. Adrina is her guardian child, Sheilla is also her protege. They cannot protect each other because they are under the same shade.


"Ms. will consult this with your psychologist. You have to make sure you're okay. It's nothing, Ms. just afraid that you might make other students experience the same thing as Adrina,"


In school it is not just about the lessons. Mental and psychic students are also very concerned. Any student who makes a mistake and experiences a problem, will certainly undergo treatment from school psychologists more routinely than other students who are considered 'good'. That is to guarantee they can go back to their usual childhood.

Adrian and Andrean happen to have not been picked up by Devan. Adrina is too. They were waiting for each other's invitations in a special room.


"Your stomach doesn't hurt anymore?"


"No,"


"No, but grimacing so," Adrian noticed his friend leaning on the chair while closing his eyes. Sometimes he rubbed his own stomach.


"Adrina, it's been picked up, sweetie."


Someone brought the news. So that Adrina immediately rose and assisted by Adrian.


"I'm waiting here, right?" asked Andrean who was embraced by Adrian. One of the teachers helped Adrina walk, none other than Acha, with Adrian as well.


"Can I talk to you for a second?"


Acha asked Jino for time, who was confused to see her son being slapped like that. After Adrina got into the car with Adrian, Jino followed Acha to chat in a chair that was not far from them at this time.


"What happened to Adrina? why does he look in pain?"


"Previous to apologize, sir. Adrina just got treated less well by her friend,"


"Again?" Jino was shocked. Yesterday he and Sheva were surprised by Acha's report that Adrina's bag was thrown into the trash.


"With Adrina made to be very spicy and Adrina's stomach hurt immediately,"


"Gosh, who did that?"


"Sheilla, another class student, sir."


"School has acted decisively yet? it's already put my son in danger. I wish school could be wiser,"


"Speaking four eyes. He promised not to repeat it again. And there will be special treatment from school psychologists to ensure the condition of Sheilla and Adrina herself. The school agreed that if he did repeat it, it would have to be expelled,"


Jino still looked furious at the news she had just heard. His only child was made sick. He just snapped almost never. And Sheilla dares to make Adrina sick? It's really hard to forgive.


"Begging his trust, the school will do its best for all students,"


Jino got up and took a breath. He nodded before finally retreating from before Acha.


"Thank you for your attention. I hope this doesn't happen again,"


Adrian accompanies Adrina in the car. Adrian tells Adrina that Jino is talking to their teacher so Jino has not been able to bring her home, Adrina must be patient.


"It hurts my stomach. Old daddy,"


"That's your Daddy. Okay, I'm out. Quickly healed, Adrina." exclaimed Adrian who could see from the car window when Jino was approaching.


Adrian gets out of the car to coincide with Jino who is about to get into the car. The boy smiled and greeted. "Hi, Uncle."


"Hi, thank you for taking care of Adrina huh. Uncle go home first,"


"Yes, Uncle. Hurry home. Adrina's in pain again,"
