MY LECTURER DUREN (COLD WIDOWER )

Chapter 28's

"Mas, I want to work."

Nathan did not answer. He was busy getting his clothes out of the suitcase. An hour ago, after my mother's return, I told Mas Nathan about my mother.

So, my mama was fooled by her friend, and now my mama's business is failed, plus I have to give back a fantastic amount of investor money for me.

I didn't know about my mom's efforts, but to me, my mom was everything. Mama has struggled to live my life alone without a father figure, after my father died.

So it's my duty to help mom, isn't it?

But it's been an hour since Nathan was silent, when I said I wanted to work. Mama came to ask for my help, but it turns out Mas Nathan was in trouble. Green's resto business is in trouble, due to internal fraud.

While the results of being a lecturer were quite large, but it was not enough to pay off my mother's debt.

"Mas.." I called him back, hoping this time Mas Nathan would talk.

"I don't want you to work." said Mas Nathan.

"But I have to help mom, Mom. There's no way I'm gonna tell mama that."

"I will try later." insisted Mas Nathan. This time he looked at me sharply.

What's wrong with me working too?

Even at home, I have no job. I did this for my mom too.

"I just don't want to repot you, Mom."

Mas Nathan closed his suitcase tightly, making me grimace in shock.

"Once, no, no!"

Hixes. I cried when I also heard Mas Nathan's tone that was starting to tighten. My heart is weak, it can't be snapped a little.

"You don't believe me? huh uh?"

I shook my head slowly. Inching backwards as Mas Nathan started to advance eroding the distance with me.

"Listen Anindira, you are my responsibility. So please follow my words."

I was only speechless, as Mas Nathan's hand stretched out rubbed my tears. I don't know, it felt like there was something different about Mas Nathan this time when I saw his eyes.

I feel like Mas Nathan is back to what he was.

***********

Tomorrow, though,

If on a normal day, breakfast in the dining room will always be crowded and cheerful, but not for this time.

My puffy eyes, making the other residents of the house reluctant to open his mouth. Several times I saw, Arsy looked at me and Mas Nathan alternately. It seemed like he realized something was different from both of his parents.

I gestured for Mila to take Arsy to school.

"Arsy, let's go. Breakfast is over, right?" said Mila.

Arsy sighed, then put down his spoon tightly.

"Come on!" answer's indifferent.

"Learn the clever dear." I told Arsy, as he approached to kiss my hand.

Arsy just nodded with a small smile. Not long after Arsy left, Mas Nathan also moved from his seat.

He grabbed the bag I had prepared at the table, then just passed by without saying goodbye to me.

It feels so cramped. I tried my hardest to be a good wife.

But is this the reply?

Don't apologize for yelling at me last night, don't even talk.

"Prophey, Neng. Den Nathan may have more thoughts, so be it." Bi Munah came rubbing my back gently.

I immediately wiped away the tears, and tried to smile at her.

"Thank you, Bi."

"Neng Nindi rest well, let this aunt take care of it."

I nodded and immediately went upstairs, towards my room.

Upon arrival there, I immediately grabbed my phone and sent a message to Sarah.

It wasn't long before my message was read, and Sarah started typing a reply...

[ There. So you want to work too? ]

I wanted to tell her in the message, but it seemed better to meet in person.

[Finding of yuk. Want to tell a story ]

A second later Sarah returned

[Ok ]

Huff. It's a tough decision indeed. But I have to move forward. Nathan would understand if I talked to him again later. As Bi Munah said, maybe now he is having a lot of thoughts so behave like that.

NATHAN POV

My mind is in a state of turmoil right now. Resto Green is in trouble, this is because my cousin embezzled funds from sales in almost all branches. I gave her full trust.

Yes, humans are the most greedy creatures.

As I'm going through now, I don't want to lose my efforts and that of Anindira.

My mother-in-law is involved in a fantastic amount of debt, if only Restoku is not in trouble, right now I can help him.

Anindira wants to work?

BIG NO'S!

I am a man who still has pride. I don't want bad things to repeat themselves like the past.

Hearing Anindira want to work, a great deal of bad thoughts came to haunt me.

That night, I was taken back by anger.

Until Anindira cried.

Looks like I'll have to go back to Faizal after college.

Geck. Geck. Geck.

The knock on the door surprised me. A student bows her face from behind the door.

"Sir, can I come in?"

"What's wrong?"

The student did not answer my question, he just went straight into the room. It's so disrespectful!

"My uncle went to see my father, because he wanted to talk about my final lecture."

"What?" sahutku fast. Not believing the words I just heard.

The student sighed.

"I want to talk about the final task, sir. Because my father's name is on the notice board as my dosbing."

I immediately cursed in my heart, Mr. Radit who served as the head of the department, maybe he made me a lecturer. Just because last year I applied to be a teaching advisor does not mean I continue to be interested. I used to do it because of Anindira.

I glanced back at the student in front of me. His appearance was so cute, his eyes did not stop looking around.

"You...!"

"Rina Sir, my name is Rina. Arina aluansyah."

The student named Rina with her pede reached out to me. It's not civilized.

Of course I didn't respond to it.

I saw Rina lowering her hand back, while lowering her face. Realize also he, if I am not a lecturer who is easy to face.

"I'll think about it later. You better get out of my room."

"Hemm yes, sir. Excuse me."

I let out a heavy sigh after Rina's departure. Arggh. Radit sir! I have to see him now.

He just added to my job. This must be because last week I said I wanted to stop being a lecturer here.
