My husband, Doctor Adrian

Is This What It's Like to be married?

Lula

Lula stirred the food in front of him. He's not tasteful. How not? Adrian, her husband hasn't come home yet. He looked at the wall clock. Ten o'clock at night. He immediately got up, washed the dishes, and tidied the table again.

In the room, Lula stared at the screen of her phone. There is no notification. He tried to close his eyes.

A few hours later..

Lula opened her eyes slowly. He woke up because of a voice. Lula threw her gaze across the room. Fragrant shampoo Adrian. Two seconds later, Adrian came out of the bathroom. Lula smiled.

"Did I wake you?" adrian said softly.

Lula shakes.

Adrian dries his original blonde hair with a towel.

"Have you eaten?" asked Lula while leaning her back on the headboard.

Adrian nodded. "Go back to sleep" he laid his body on the bed, next to Lula. Shortly thereafter, Adrian fell asleep.

Lula turned her body towards the window.

Our longest conversation this week. Inner Lula.

Lula knows. Adrian's busy. During two years of courtship and three years of marriage, he was always busy. Adrian is a young doctor at the hospital where he works. Lula and Adrian have been dating since Lula was still studying Masters. Although Adrian? He is currently continuing his doctoral education while working as a heart specialist. That's why Lula and Adrian rarely meet. When we met, Adrian was too tired to spend time together.

Next day..

Lula goes to work when Adrian doesn't wake up. She did not want to wake her husband. Lula knows, Adrian's break time is precious. She herself did not know the schedule of her husband's college and work because Adrian's schedule was very busy and changing. Not infrequently in the middle of his sleep, Adrian still receives emergency calls that require him to go to the hospital.

Lula put her Mercedes Bens in the Manager's parking lot. Next door, Nathan just got out of his Lamborghini. Nathan is the CEO of the bank where Lula works. Lula deliberately linger out of the car so there is no need to greet the boss. But apparently, they still met in a special elevator company officials.

"Morning, Sir." Lula lowered her head.

Nathan smiled. "Floor 25, right?"

Lula nodded.

Nathan swiped the 25th and 40th buttons with his index finger on top of this touchless elevator button.

Silent.

The elevator clinks as soon as they arrive on the 25th floor.

The door opened slowly. "I go first, Mr. Nathan."

Nathan nodded.

Lula sighed as soon as she got out of the elevator. Suddenly, his phone rang. Mamma.

"Hello, Ma?" lula replied as she continued walking with her high heels towards her room.

"Lulaa.. Hello, darlin.. How are you?"

"Good, Ma. How's your own mama? How papa?" ask Lula. He nodded all the way as soon as someone greeted him.

"Good, baby. Last night, Adrian was very nice. He came to Mama's house to check Mama's heart condition. Last year, Mama went to the hospital." said Mama at length.

"Oh, what time is Adrian coming?" Lula opened the door to her room.

"Jam eight is that. Keep him after Mama's check and say he's okay, he's back in the hospital."

The in-laws are being watched. Engga's wife.

"Oh that. It's good that Mama is okay. Yes, yes, Ma. I want to work first." I said. After saying goodbye, we stopped the phone.

I heard from Mama yesterday you checked Mama's condition huh. Thanks, yeah. Any time for dinner tonight?

One minute. Two minutes. Three minutes passed. There's no answer. Lula was not surprised. Adrian must be sleeping. Even if he wakes up, he will rush to leave again.

Lula threw her body over the sofa in her room. He took the medicine bottle from his bag, took a pill and swallowed it. It was a Pill. Lula and Adrian have an agreement. They are not ready to have children. Adrian to be more exact. He is busy and crazy. He also prepared the pill for Lula. Sometimes Lula thinks, does Adrian love her? Let alone sweet words, his attitude has never shown Adrian love. Maybe people will think that they got married because they were betrothed, not because of love.

Lula was busy all day. This meeting and that. At five in the afternoon, Lula was getting ready to go home when her phone rang. Message from Adrian.

Okay. 20:00 at Wolfgang Restaurant.

Lula smiled. He jumped a little excited. I don't know how long they haven't eaten together. Lula drove her Mercedes home. He took a shower and got ready. He even tuned his favorite song playlist and hummed. She dressed painfully. He wanted to please Adrian.

He decided to wear a knee-length old brown dress that showed off his shoulders. High heels and matching colored clutch.

Lula arrived in Wolfgang at exactly eight p.m. He ordered one glass of white wine while waiting at a small table for two.

Five minutes..

Ten minutes..

There is no message. Adrian did not show up.

Lula looked around. Suddenly his eyes stopped on someone he knew. Nathan. Nathan has been looking at it since. He sat at a long table with several other men. Business associates may. Suddenly Nathan got up and walked towards Lula.

"Hispan?" sapana. He unbuttoned his suit and sat down in front of Lula.

"Eh, hi, sir. Business meeting, huh?" greet Lula basa stale while holding her wine glass.

Nathan smiled. "Yes, what about you?"

"Oh, I promised my husband to meet here. Maybe he'll be here soon." said Lula.

Suddenly Lula's phone rang.

"Hello? Adrian?" answer Lula quickly. He thinks maybe Adrian is stuck in traffic.

"Lula, I'm sorry but I have to go to the operating room now. There's an emergency." Adrian's voice sounded a little panicked. Panic over the condition of the patient.

"Oh, okay.."

Lula did not have time to answer long, Adrian had cut.

"OKAY. It was yes. I'll see you at home." Phone turned off.

Nathan Daritadi overhears Lula's conversation and notices her gesture.

Lula put her phone on the table. He threw a smile at Nathan. "It seems to me alone tonight."

Nathan chuckled small. He himself did not know what to answer. She is single and has almost never had a romantic relationship.

"Don't judge my husband badly first, sir." Lula laughed a little. "He's a doctor. So, you could say that he was very very very busy." For some reason from the smile that Lula emitted, Nathan could feel sadness in it.

Nathan nodded. "Want to join my table? I introduced my business associates." asked Nathan. Lula hesitates. Nathan pulled Lula's hand slowly. Lula joins Nathan's desk.

During two hours of talking, Nathan always exalts and praises Lula in front of his business colleagues. Lula was very grateful in her heart for that. Nathan is not only a handsome rich boss, but also a good heart. Lula can also talk to the lithe in the presence of Nathan's business partner.

"Lula, you got a vehicle?" nathan asked as soon as his last partner left the two of them.

Lula nodded.

"OKAY. Thank you for today. You become like overtime chatting with my colleagues,"

"Father, Sir. I am happy to talk to them too. I'm ahead, sir." Lula nodded politely and headed straight for her car.
