My husband, Doctor Adrian
A Happy Day



"You're going back to Jakarta?" ask Lula after we finish eating.


"Later. With you." I said.


He looked at me and then choked. I immediately got up to my feet while trying to pat him on the shoulder slowly.


"Are you okay?" soft ask.


He nodded. I smiled at her at how sweet she was.


"Slowly, dong.. Drink?" I thrust a glass of water at him, which he immediately received.


"You go home first? You have to wait a long time?" she said as she slipped her hair behind her ear. He looks nervous.


"No. I want to help you." I said while watching his reaction. I'm a little sorry to have spoken so presumptuously. He looks uncomfortable now. He threw away his face so that I could no longer observe the look on his face.

We arrived at PT. Azura that morning. We walked in tandem. Dozens of pairs of eyes looked at us as if amazed, or maybe just curious about the new face in this company. Most of those staring at Lula were men. Sure oes. Which guy doesn't find it interesting? I threw a momentary glance at Lula, she did not care about them at all. He only focused on walking, occasionally staring at me to guide me to our destination. It made me blush in my heart, as if I was the one who won compared to dozens of men who wanted it.


"You wait here?" asked Lula while hinting me to sit in a waiting room.


"Can I come? Let me convince the CEO." I said.


He seemed to think for a moment. "Let me. I just don't want to. They agreed to this cooperation just because of you." he said.


I was surprised to hear his answer. Isn't that nice? If they want to work together? But I can only smile and nod. I sat on the couch and he walked into a room.

I'm tired of waiting. I decided to approach the room where Lula was presenting. I stood in front of a door made of glass. I could see some people were busy listening to Lula. I couldn't see Lula from where I was standing, I could only hear her voice.


"This cooperation will also definitely benefit your company."


I smiled at her, happy and proud that such a smart woman had worked for my company.


"In fact, we do not want to rush into making a decision" was heard the voice of a man who I assume is the CEO of PT. Azura´s.


Oh, naw.


I opened the door of the meeting room and tried to be as quiet as possible.


"Ehem.. Sorry, I'm late.."


Everyone's staring at me. Including Lula who could not hide her surprise.


"That's it.. Nathan Dawson? Who likes to get into Forbes, right? Her son." a female employee whispered to her other friend, but it did not escape my hearing.


"Sir Nathan? What are you doing here?" The CEO that I didn't even know his name was standing up as if he wasn't feeling well. I think everyone here knows me without me introducing myself.


"I actually came here to help Ms. Lula. I was also one of Ms. Lula's clients and the company she worked for." I said confidently.


"Ah, so, huh? Actually was.. Mr. Nathan didn't have to bother coming here. We are also in the process of finalizing cooperation" said the CEO.


I just laughed in my heart, didn't he seem reluctant to cooperate with Om Richard's company?


The CEO hastily retrieved the file before Lula and signed it.


"Here, Miss Lula. Thank you for this opportunity. Our company will work at its best."

"You're gapapa?" askaku. I slowed my steps to get along with him.


He turned his head towards me and my heart was filled with excitement as he said, "Thank you." My heart's full. This job must be very important to him. In fact, he lost his home and did not tell a story. Why, La? Why.. You never lean on my shoulder for a moment? Why... You keep trying hard alone?


"Keep..what's your plan now?" my many.


"I have to go back to Jakarta."


I nodded and smiled. "Yeah.." I pulled her hand slowly, towards my car.


"Eh.. Where are we going?" tanyakanya.


"home.. To Jakarta, right?"


"But.. I have to get my stuff at the hotel du.."


"Let my assistant take care of me, okay? Come along." I said.

We arrived at the top floor of one of the tallest buildings in Surabaya. The noise of helicopter propellers is so loud that it is deafening. Our hands were still clinging and it made me unable to stop smiling. I think he just wanted me to guide him. Maybe he didn't realize we were still holding hands. But it doesn't diminish my happiness.


"Nathaniel.." He held his breath as he looked at the helicopter from this close distance.


I stroked his shirt-covered shoulder, trying to calm him down.


"You scared?" I was half screaming.


He nodded.


****.


"Are we on a commercial plane?" my many.


He shook his head, then tightened our hands together. I must look like a madman because I'm smiling so wide right now.


I helped her sit next to me.


"You cold?" my many.


He nodded and smiled. But I kept my coat open and attached it to both of his thighs that were not covered by a thread. I don't want him to catch a cold and also don't want others to see what they shouldn't see.


There are only four seats in this helicopter. One for the pilot, next to him my assistant Joe, and me and Lula in the back.


Once everything was ready, we took off. Lula did not stop holding my hand. I just realized that she had closed both of her eyes.


"You.. are you okay?"


He opened his eyes slowly and nodded.


"It's gonna be okay, La. I'm here." I said. I hope, he understands. I will always be there for him.


"It's so beautiful.." He looked up at the window and enjoyed the view in front of us. Hundreds of tall buildings and the sea in the distance.


"Yes, you are." I didn't take my eyes off her, making sure she was safe and comfortable. A view as beautiful as anything can not beat the most beautiful scenery in front of me. A breeze blew his long hair dangling towards me. Even that simple thing makes me happy.


He looked towards me. Both of her beautiful eyes paralyzed me. "Thank you, Nathan. For everything."
