My husband, Doctor Adrian

Wijaya Group

LULA POV

I'm on my way to Mom's house. I told Mama and Papa to come. Since the return of Ms. Arianna and Mr. Alexander, Mama and Papa have not had time to meet their besan.

"Lula, how are you?" My mother hugged me as soon as I arrived. He handed me a box wrapped in white.

"Geez, Mother.. Don't bother.." I said.

"Where's Adrian?" ask Mom without paying attention to my words.

"I haven't seen him today, ma'am." I said.

Mom shakes. He took his phone and called someone who I thought was Adrian.

Inside, Mom and Dad were waiting for me. "Happy birthday, Mama's only child.." Mom kissed and hugged me. Mama's Son? Isn't Adrian Mama's son? My grunts in my heart.

"Happy birthday, Lula.." said Father and Papa almost together.

"Thank you, Ma, Pa.. Thank you also Mom and Dad." I said.

"Lohs.. Where's adrian, La?" ask Papa.

"Emm. It's rich he had an operation, Pa." I said a lie. I'm not actually lying, it's just that I don't know why I don't remember that it's my birthday. If he had gone home, I would have brought him here.

The father who heard this immediately stood up, following Mother who was busy with her cellphone, a little far from the living room. I can't see Mom and Dad's faces. They must have been disappointed to learn that his favorite son-in-law had not come. I decided to follow Mom.

"You don't know that.. Your parents are here too.. Want to be in the place where Dad's face is!" I gasped to hear what you said to Adrian on the phone. I've never seen you angry before.

"Just this weekend you met your in-laws. Take Lula too!" Dad turned off the phone.

My mother realized my presence. "Hawkins.."

"Sorry, Mom, sir. But, Lula gapapa really if Adrian is busy. We will meet at home too. Lula hope, the same father I understand. Lula apologizes, sir, ma'am." I said.

Mom embraces me. "We're the ones apologizing, La. It's been a sabaar once you've faced this. Hopefully Adrian can spend more time with you, yeah.."

Half an hour later, the five of us ate together.

"La, by the way.. You're the same Adrian didn't have any thoughts about having a child?" Mama asked.

I choked. If people are even afraid of her in-laws who keep asking for grandchildren, this is reversed. My own mother pressured me. Should he ask like that in front of my in-laws? I'm really upset.

"We're not ready yet, Ma." I said. We were? We're not. Adrian is not ready. But I don't want to blame Adrian in front of my in-laws.

"What else is waiting for? We are old.. Mama really wants a grandchild." said my mother.

"Yes, Ma.. I'll try to obrolin with Adrian."

"Yes, Miss Lula. Maybe they still want to be alone first." said Mother defended me. I can only smile hearing it. What double? My inner. Along with Mother's words, someone entered the dining room.

"Well, Adrian? You coming?" My mom looks happy. Papa too. Mom and Dad are ordinary.

"Yes, Ma. I was in a hurry to get another doctor to change it. Happy birthday, baby." Adrian peeping my cheeks. I'm appalled. For two weeks we rarely spoke. Adrian seems to be good at pretending.

"Surely you haven't eaten yet.. Here sit next to Lula." My mother said kindly. Adrian sat down next to me. I decided to take food for Adrian. Is he the only one who can pretend? Adrian pointed at the menu he wanted. Without him telling me, I knew what he liked. Pastas.

"Why?" Adrian said slowly to me. He realized that I was watching him. I immediately threw a glance in all directions. "Father." I said no less slowly. We don't want our parents to be aware of this awkwardness. Adrian smiled a little. I don't know, right now in my eyes he looks like.

Suddenly I realized something. Adrian must have forgotten that today is my birthday. He must have just remembered when Mom and Dad called. I don't really want to dispute that. Today is like any other day. I just don't understand. What is important to him is really incomprehensible. A job? I consider it important. But should it be so?

"Lula.. Kok daydreaming.. It was a gift from Mama and Papa." Mom's words blew my daydream. I looked across the table. Mom is handing me a box.

"Can it be opened now?" my many. Mama nodded.

"It's also open from Mom." said Mom.

I opened a gift from Mom first. Countless things from him. Usually branded goods.

"Mothers.. Real nice.. Thanks, Mom, Sir.." They (read: Mother) presented me with a diamond set from Frank & Co., a famous jewelry company from the United States.

"Sama-sama.." said Mother and Father together.

I opened a gift from Mama and Papa. A black glitter dress. Versace.

"Thank you, Ma, Pa.. Sorry to have taken notes.. It's hard for me to work." I said.

"Ehem.." Mr. thud. "Lula, actually there is one gift that you have thought of for you to give." he said. His tone was very serious.

"Yes, what is it, sir?" ask Lula.

"Wijaya Group." said Mr. again.

Me, Mama, and Papa were very surprised. The same goes for Father, Mother, and Adrian.

"I mean Father?" my many.

"Yes, the company you will leave to you" said Mr. again.

"Ta.. But.. You are still.." I saw my mother who was just smiling. Adrian, as usual with his cold face.

"This father has been sixty years. Your time is. He also wants to retire." he said.

"But there is.." I looked at Adrian, hoping he would help me to reject my request.

"What's? Adrian's? Without us all asking, you know what he wants. Where could he work in the office." said Mr. cynical. "Father already knows your ability to lead the company. Your office income alone really shot up after you became a leader. Already, this can't be denied anymore. So, you better get ready to get out of your office right now."

"But.. Sir.." I said again.

"How long do you need?" ask the Father to the point.

"Are you going to retire so soon?" I'm a little sad.

"Yes.. Slowly you will step down while helping you become CEO." said Mr.

Mama came and rubbed my back. He looked happy and grateful to his body. Papa too.

"Three months, the longest." You gave me an ultimatum.
