My husband, Doctor Adrian

Fighting & Staycation

Lula decides to staycation at a five-star hotel. She was bored and upset with her husband. It seems Adrian doesn't care about Lula's departure. There was absolutely no notification from Adrian on Lula's phone.

Lula check-in by herself. He is used to being independent, especially since marriage. Every day, Adrian and Lula only meet for less than an hour. Usually, Adrian is still sleeping when Lula leaves for work and Adrian has not come home when Lula is asleep.

Lula went into that hotel room. Suddenly, Lula's phone rang.

Mother.

Did Adrian complain? Not usually. Inner Lula. He counted himself. In New York it's almost twelve o'clock in the night.

"Hello?" Mother's voice sounded firm. Please don't upset me, Mom.

"Hello, Mother?" Lula answered timidly.

"Lulaa.. You're in the office again, huh? Mother bother?" ask Mother. Apparently Adrian did not complain that they had just had a fight. Lula breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right, Mom. Lula's on vacation."

Lula slid herself on the couch.

"Oh, vacation.. Wh why? You sick?" ask Mom for attention.

"Engga, Mum. Just want to finish the leave. Hehe.."

"Oh, that. Adrian's busy, huh?"

"Emm.." I hesitantly replied.

"Yes, I know, La. My son is crazy about work. Exactly his father. Yes, you understand, La."

"Ga, kok Ma.. Oh yeah, I haven't slept at this hour?" ask Lula.

"Yet, nih. I'm the same father tomorrow to Jakarta, La." he said.

"Oh yeah?" Lula could not hide her pleasure. "When did you get there, Mom? Let Lula pick you up."

"After the day. Eight o'clock in the morning. Don't pick me up. Don't bother.."

"Ga's bothered, Mom. Lula even seneng if you can pick up Mom. Yes yes yes?"

"Yes, okay it's up to Lula. Yes, I've had a break, son.."

"Good, Mom. See you soon.."

When Lula hangs up from Mom, she doesn't notice her tears. It seemed like Lula had already arrived at the threshold of his patience. Do their parents know that Lula and Adrian are unhappy? What kind of marriage is this?

Adrian doesn't know who his real parents are. She was adopted from an orphanage by Ms. Arianna and Mr. Alexander when she was five years old. Lula himself never asked further about Adrian's childhood. Perhaps because he was raised by both foster parents, his heart seemed to freeze. As far as Lula knows, Father and Mother loved Adrian very much. They raised Adrian with an abundance of wealth. Both of Adrian's parents were behind New York - Jakarta. Mostly because of Mr. Alexander's business.

Lula is the only child of Luke and Luna. Luna had congenital heart disease from birth. Luna loves her daughter-in-law very much. He always defended Adrian in every quarrel Adrian and Lula. That's why Lula rarely tells Mama Luna. For the story on Arianna's mother is even more unlikely. She did not want to open her own husband's disgrace. But often Arianna's mother has understood the nature and character of the child.

Lula put herself in bed. He's tired. He was not aware that he had even dissolved into dreamland.

Lula's phone is ringing. Unknown number. Lula pressed the green button.

"Hello?" lula replied while rubbing her eyes.

"Hello.. Lula?" ask the guy on the other end of the phone.

"Yes. This who?" ask Lula ketus. He was ready to get angry.

The man chuckled. "Emmm.. Sorry, it's Nathan."

"Oh, Mr. Nathan! Sorry, Mister. What's up, sir?" ask Lula. For four years working at Nathan's company, this time his boss called his cell phone.

"I'm sorry, I'm presumptuous to call you. I just heard from Ms. Tasya said you were on leave" Nathan said. It seemed that he was in the office, because Lula could hear the background voice clearly.

"Yes, Sir. My leave. Today, really. Monday I came in." replied Lula.

"Emmm.. Okay." okay."

"That's it, sir?" lula asked hesitantly as she wanted to end the call. He did not want to be labeled as impolite, but he was very uncomfortable talking to the boss.

Tok tock.. Lula's hotel room door was knocked.

"Room service!" said a man from outside the room.

"Before a minute, sir." Lula told Nathan. Lula walked towards the door while holding her phone between her head and her left shoulder.

"I didn't order anything, Mom. Wrong room," said Lula while opening a little door. The waiter apologized and left immediately.

"Sorry, Sir. Where did you get to?" lula said as she threw herself back into the bed.

"You're at the hotel?" ask Nathan.

"Emmm.. Yes." answered Lula briefly.

"Yatt."

"You.. would you like to dinner with me? At the hotel restaurant." asked Nathan again.

What time is it now? Lula looked at her watch. Holy hooch! It's six in the afternoon.

"Hispan?" ask Nathan again.

"Emm. may, sir."

"OKAY. See you in an hour?"

"Yes, see you."

Beeping. Phone turned off.

Lula walks mundar mandir. He doubted. Should he go back home? Maybe after dinner with Mr. Nathan. Why else would someone use me dinner.

Lula called Nissa. Of his friends, Nissa was the closest to him. Nissa is also the calmest and can keep everything a secret. Lula tells Nissa everything, from Adrian who is always indifferent to her to Nathan who invites her to dinner.

"Hmmm.." Nissa was thinking hard.

"So, Nis? According to you, I'm coming home aren't ya this malem?"

"I wonder why your man is always cuekin lo."

"Why?"

"Yes, he's busy."

"Yeeee.. That's what I know, Nis. Yaudah, I have to get ready to go down. I most likely went home in the evening."

"By the way, La.. It's rich.."

"What power?"

"Pak Nathan likes you the same.."

"Gilda! Maybe anyway, Nis. I am making merit. He knows it.."

"Hmm, yeah that's my feeling anyway.. But if he really likes you, how?"

"Well, how are you, Nis! I have Adrian."

"But it's.."

"Jude, Nis. I need to get ready first."

"Okay, La. See you on Monday, yeah.."

Beeping. Phone turned off. Lula stuck herself in the mirror. He didn't bring any clothes, just the clothes he was wearing. He decided to take a shower. After taking a bath, he returned to wearing his clothes, a light blue long-handed shirt and black trousers. It's almost seven o'clock, Lula getting ready to go down.

The hotel restaurant is very luxurious. Full golden orange chandelier. "Tables for how many people?" ask a waiter.

"Two."

Lula was directed to sit at a table in the corner, right next to the window. The huge window overlooks the streets of the capital. Lula could see the lights of the skyscrapers.

Lula's phone rings.

Adrian.

Lula lazily lifted it. He left his phone after turning on silent mode.

Adrian kept calling Lula's phone. Eventually, Lula gave up.

"Where are you?" ask Adrian.

"I'll be home in two hours" said Lula.

"Yes but I want to know where you are! I've been on leave on purpose for you, but you.."

"What's? Make me? You're on leave even busy doing dissertations."

"Yes that was. Now you're not being asked, are you?"

"You call me just to get angry?"

"Jaudah if you tell me where you are."

Beeping. Phone turned off.

Lula sighed in annoyance then circulated her gaze. It was then that he saw someone heading towards him. Nathan.
