My husband, Doctor Adrian

The Story of Adrian

"Mother how are you? Who's here?" my many.

But Mom didn't answer.. He was focused on seeing the man next to me.

"Oh.. It's Mom's out there's the same friend show above." His eyes did not stop looking at Nathan.

"Oh, Mum.. This is my boss, Mr. Nathan." I don't want to make Mom wrong.

"Hello, Auntie.." Nathan shakes hands with Mom.

"Hello.. Oh yeah, Lula.. There's something I want to talk to you about."

"Oh, what's up, Mom?" my many.

Mom's face changed. I don't let my heart leave it alone. I turned to Nathan.

"I'm sorry, I think I should accompany Mom. You.. gapapa, right?"

Nathan nodded. "Father. You should go. I'll call later, yeah.." He then left us both.

"Lula, gapapa.. Mean Mother.. Mom can come to your house.. Why don't you have other business now." Mom looked at me gently.

"No, Ma. I just wanted to have lunch, though. Now it's.. Mama's eating? Wanna eat?" my many.

Mom didn't answer my question. He took me to a restaurant in the mall. We chose a table in the corner, the state of the restaurant was quite quiet so we could freely talk.

We ordered a drink. I don't have a taste for food because it looks like Mom is going to talk about something important. Mom kept looking at me. Doubt is so pronounced from her beautiful face. Even though she was almost sixty years old, she was still very beautiful.

Mom continued to play her fingers, looking nervous. I almost never saw Mom like this. She is a very confident woman. I can only wonder what caused Mother like this. What was he going to say?

"Adrian resigned from his job." Said Mom suddenly.

I stopped listening after Mom mentioned that name.

"What, Mom?" I blinked my eyes, trying to focus.

She seemed more nervous than before. He slipped his blond hair quickly with his fingers behind his ears.

"Adrians.. He resigned." This time I spoke more slowly. He emphasized every word he said.

Hearing that name again made my heart beat fast. I don't know why. Like there are a lot of feelings left behind. Has love? Hate huh? All of that makes my chest tight.

I don't know what reaction you're expecting from me. First, I don't understand why he resigned. Being a doctor is her desire. Life's call. Second, we have not communicated for the past seven months. Even so, Adrian still sends me money. I don't wear it at all. I intend to give it back, it's just that I don't have the guts for it yet.

Mother seemed to catch the confusion from my face. He knew we were not communicating with each other. Mom took my hand.

"He.. His heart is broken, La.."

DEG

Mother shed tears.

It will heal on its own, Mom. Like me.

I don't know who I fooled. Am I healed right? Is my heart not bleeding anymore?

"He's the son of his only mother, La.. Although not born from the mother's womb. All her life, I've never seen her this broken." Mom sobbing.

I thought he would be happy with my absence. I think he's getting drowned in his work. I figured.. He will be happier than before.

"I can't do anything, Mom.. Might as well.. It takes less time to.."

Mom shook her head strongly. I thrust a tissue at him, which he took to wipe away his tears.

"Which mother is the one, La.. Seeing him like that.. It's been more than half a year like that.. Please meet him, La.."

I catch my breath, hold my cry. I can't bear to see Mom like this.

"I can't.."

"All the maids left the house, La.. They're frightened. I promised Adrian not to tell you this. I just thought that you were the only one who could make him rise. Mother didn't even tell him about your Papa's death. I'm scared, La.. I'm afraid she's doing something extreme. I'm afraid she intends to end her life.." My voice changed slowly at the end of the sentence.

"Can't you forget all the bad, La? Just this once, I beg you.." Mother was about to get off the bench and kneel before me, but I prevented her.

"Mom.. What if he doesn't want to see me?" I rubbed my eyes before the tears fell.

"at least.. You tried, didn't you? If that's what happened.. Let it be Mother's pain for the rest of Mother's life."

I held Mom's hand strong. I can't speak.

"Adrian must be furious if he knew this story.. But.. You know that Mom and Dad adopted her when she was five?"

I'm nodding.

"Birth mother Adrian. Can you imagine that? My only son.. Suffering in the first years of his life. When people find him.. It's in a very bad state. Poor nutrition, the house is really dirty and.." Mom nodded in disbelief. He's still sobbing.

"The neighbors found five-year-old Adrian alone in such a place. And his mother had already died from an overdose next to him. When the doctor checked, apparently his mother had been dead for days. Adrian, who was a child, had no idea what had happened to his mother. Don't know why his mother didn't wake up when he called her. We found a lot of bruises on little Adrian's body. Let alone to change diapers, to eat.. According to doctors, Adrian was rarely fed. Is that what a mother does to her child?" Mom's eyes flashed with anger.

It's not real, is it? How could.. I don't know? How can Adrian always keep his past tight in front of me?

"Every day of my life, I pray and give thanks for her death. I'm grateful Adrian found at the Orphanage. I'm sure it was the woman who beat up Adrian like that.. And I don't know how many men.."

I blinked my eyes blurred by tears. I never knew this fact. I didn't expect a cold man like him to have such a dark past.

"Mom doesn't want to.. Adrian destroyed. Mom didn't raise him for it, La.." My mother smiled in her pain. I wonder why he doesn't hate me for divorcing his beloved.

I woke up and then stood up. "Thank you, Mom, for telling me all that. I'm going to Adrian's house now."

I won't let it be destroyed. I'll get him back up. He should return as before.

SERIATE..
