CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Adriel is now walking and looking at something in a display in one of the malls he is currently attending. With accuracy and calculation he chooses something to buy. Maybe something with a simple model . He stopped when he saw something that caught his attention.
“This one please.” He pointed to a maid on duty. “It’s an easy model to use isn’t it?” he asked the waiter again.
“Yes sir, it doesn’t have too many features and also the design is quite simple and not too heavy. It is very easy to use sir.”
Adriel nodded slowly.
“Okay, then I’ll take this one.” Adriel decided, after deciding to buy it he walked to the cashier to pay. He took out his credit card and handed it to the cashier.
Drrt…
Drrt …
Adriel felt his cell phone vibrate indicating an incoming call. When he saw the name on the screen, the smile grew full of pleasure.
“Hello, Vania.” He answered slowly, taking the credit card and paper bag that the cashier handed him. With his right hand still holding the cell phone to his ear he walked out of the shop.
“ Hello , dear. How are you? I’m sorry never call you. I’m really busy, very dense schedule. Even two days I’ve never got enough sleep.”
“Are you that busy? You’ve been missing for almost a month if you forget Vania, it’s a good thing you have a patient lover. Otherwise. I’ve married someone else.” He replied in a slightly mocking.
“Adriel! What are you saying? If that’s true, then I’ll fly straight to LA. And you know what I’m going to do?”
“What?”
“Of course I will kill her, kill your wife.”
Adriel chuckled at Vania’s words.
“Really? And if it is. I will always protect you from going to jail.” He answered with a chuckle.
“I’m not kidding Adriel”
Adriel stopped his steps, he looked at the people who were now passing by him. Looks like Vania can’t be joked around anymore.
“So, go home. I really miss you, remember. At the end of this year I will go to your parents and propose to you officially. You’re still wearing the ring I gave you, aren’t you?” ask Vania.
“Tsk… yeah, calm down. Maybe in a month or so I’ll be home. You know Adriel? I’ve already told my parents about you. And they totally agree, and about the ring. Of course I still use it. Men who want to approach me.”
“Really? I’m so glad to hear that.”
“Okay Adriel later I will call you again if I have time, I love you.”
“Hmmm… take care of your health, it’s still winter now. Remember to wear warm clothes, I love you too.”
Adriel ended the call, he was very happy. Not just because Vania contacted him, but. He was very happy that Vania had told her parents. His smile grew wider when he received a picture sent by his lover.
“Vania is right, she always uses it, be patient. Four more months and the baby will be born. At that time I will really divorce Hana.”

With the strength remaining, Adriel drove back to his house after the hospital. There was already Laksmi’s father and aunt standing guard, it seemed he wanted to rest for a while at the house. He slowed down his car when he had entered the gate of the house, maybe he didn’t need to put his car in the garage at this time. Because later he will use it again to go to the hospital.
“I am home.” Said Adriel as he just opened the main door.
“you, already home.” Said Hana who came out of the kitchen with accelerated steps, she immediately took the bag she was carrying and also the coat that Adriel had just removed, but not the paper bag .
“Hmmm…” Adriel just mumbled by loosening his tie which was really choking his neck.
“you, do you want to take a shower or eat first?” Hana said politely.
“I’m going to take a shower first, for food. You don’t need to prepare it, I’m going straight to the hospital.”
“Ah… okay.”
Adriel walked inside to go to his room. But the sound of a car coming in stopped him, the sound of the car seemed familiar to him. He faced the door that was still open, showing someone with a sturdy body came and just walked into his house.
“Hey Adriel.” Said the person with a smile that showed all of his upper teeth.
“Rizal?” Adriel asked in surprise, he glanced at Hana who was still standing where he was. “What business are you here for?” he continued.
“Hah… don’t put on a sour face like that. Here, you forgot to bring this file, weren’t you going to check it at home? Good thing I remember it.” Rizal handed Adriel a map and Adriel immediately took it of course.
“Oh… thank you, have you? Now go.” Expelled Adriel to his personal secretary.
“Wow Adriel, how are you with guests? I just came, at least you gave me a drink.” He said and now he glanced at Hana in amazement. “ Who’s she?” he continued by pointing at Hana who was still standing carrying Adriel’s bag and coat.
“She? Just a maid.” Adriel said lightly, no one should know if Hana is his wife.
“Really? No wonder I just saw it. Wait a minute.” Rizal stepped closer to Hana because something was odd according to his vision, but Adriel quickly stood in front of Hana preventing Rizal from getting closer.
“What?.”
“Adriel is she pregnant?” point it at Hana. Hearing that question Hana automatically covered her stomach with Adriel’s coat she was carrying.
“What’s your business?”
“Don’t tell me you got her pregnant?” Rizal raised an eyebrow probingly.
“Watch your word Rizal! You want me to fire!” it seemed that Adriel was starting to get emotional making Rizal take a step back.
“I’m just kidding, after all I already know if you already have a girlfriend Adriel.” Dugh “AWWWW! Adriel!” Rizal winced in pain because Adriel had just kicked his shin.
“Already! Go there! Wow, should I cut your salary this month? Rizal?”
“Wow wow… boss what kind of boss threatens his employees like this? Gosh, fine I’ll go. If you weren’t my friend I would have resigned from a long time ago .” Rizal brushed his hair back. “I’m leaving, you damn Adriel.”
“RIZAL!” Rizal immediately ran outside because he didn’t want to get hit by Adriel. Quickly start the car engine and of course leave from there. “You.” Adriel turned his body and now faced Hana. “The next time you hide your whereabouts from people I know, you know it’s not considered your existence to be out of my scope of life? Keep that in mind.”
“I’m sorry, Adriel.”
“And one more thing, this.” Adriel handed him the paper bag he had been carrying.
“What’s this?” Hana asked taking the paper bag .
“It’s a cell phone, I bought it for you.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Really? Thank you, Adriel.” Hana spoke slowly, suddenly a small smile tugged at the corners of her lips.
“Don’t be big-headed, I bought you that just to check the conditions at home, especially Mommy. Not to call you every time, it’s something useless.” DEG That smile immediately disappeared when Adriel said that, huh. It should be like that. It’s true what Adriel said, she shouldn’t be big-headed, doesn’t Adriel only think of her as a maid? Yes. Just a maid.
