Galak Lecturer's Wife
Choosing to Ignore

Fiera walked into her room with a burst of anger. One year he endured every time he heard Abhimanyu's anger, which always issued hurtful words. The man never praised his work, but he always insulted his mistakes.

After the Maghrib prayer, Fiera did not care at all about his duties. He just locked himself in his room until he fell asleep.

As for Abhimanyu, he just went into his room to take a bath and came back out because he had not eaten dinner.

Abhimanyu saw something on the table, he saw that it was a package of food. ‘He hasn't had dinner?’ muttered.

Of course, who else would have bought that food had it not been Fiera, his wife. Abhimanyu several times saw his wife buy a typical Sundanese food and brought him home to eat. She rarely cooks and always eats out.

Honestly, it made Abhimanyu a little irritated. Shouldn't the woman be cooking for herself? Every week, Abhimanyu filled his refrigerator with vegetables and fruits, but Abhimanyu had to cook it himself.

Abhimanyu forgot that he himself never even cared about the needs of his wife, which in fact was his duty.

Her mood deteriorated after her quarrel with Infiera for the first time after their marriage, Abhimanyu opened the refrigerator and took only one apple, then led her towards her study.

Abhimanyu sighed as he looked at his messy study. He wanted to get angry, but held back because he realized he was also wrong because he had been too rude to talk to Fiera.

Abhimanyu tidied up Infiera's books. He saw his wife's laptop still on. Apparently, the woman was doing her job.

A little regret came back to his heart. The woman was not just lazing around, but she was doing her job.

Abhimanyu also forgot that it was a duty he gave as punishment.

After tidying up Fiera's belongings, Abhimanyu also put his books back on the bookshelf. Just now she was about to sit in her work chair, her phone ringing. Multiple messages coming in.

[Mass.]

[Mas, how is this, I feel nervous about tomorrow. Tomorrow is my first day of teaching.]

Abhimanyu smiled, his mood improving instantly upon seeing the name of the sender. Almira Shahira, her ex-boyfriend. The woman he loved, before his parents finally betrothed him to a girl he never knew. Until now, Abhimanyu never tried to get to know the woman even though they lived in one house.

Abhimanyu is busy with his world, as well as Infiera who is engrossed in his world as a student.

[No need to be nervous. This is not the first time you have taught. I'm sure you can.] Abhimanyu.

Almira is a smart girl and is very adaptable to new environments. Of course, Abhimanyu knew him very well, they had a relationship about 4 years before he finally had to decide, shortly before his kabul ijab was done with Infiera Falguni who is now legally his wife.

However, Abhimanyu had a hard time removing Almira's name from his heart to date.

[Then, Mas, have to help me if I have any difficulties.]

[Sure, I will always help you.]

Abhimanyu smiled, Almira can always treat her bad mood. He had even forgotten about his quarrel with Infiera.

Three days passed after the fight. Fiera had never once spoken to Abhimanyu. To be exact, he always avoided that man. Fiera also went on strike to do homework. He just came home to sleep.

“He's never appreciated me all this time. So, let's just live each one from this moment.” Infiera made up his resolve to do the same as Abhimanyu who ignored his presence at home.

His mood is improving again. Fiera just needs to sit in front of her laptop for hours, cultivating the imagination to bring out all the emotions that are in her mind, after which she will create one of the figures that become the picture of her emotions at this time.

Infiera was startled by a classmate who suddenly sat down and dropped his head on the table complaining.

“Lo why, Lin?” fiera asked confusedly looking at her classmates like people who were desperate.

Linda, Fiera's classmate raised her head with a parched face. “Fier, Do you know if I'm in a sprain?”

“Engga?”

Aaaaa

Linda put her head down again because Fiera was joking to say her words.

Fiera laughed at him. He finally put on a serious face before asking.

“Alright, alright. Indeed why?”

“Gue sprains because my favorite author does not update his book for three days.”

Fiera frowned. “Who is your favorite author?” tanyakanya.  

Is this a coincidence? Fiera has also not updated her story for three days. Some readers who belong to his whatsapp group have been constantly in touch to ask about it.

“Whose story do you read?”

“News Pen Misses.”

Fiera held back her smile as it turned out that her guess was correct, if what Linda meant was her. Apparently, one of his classmates also read the story?

If Fiera just held back her smile, it was different from Anisa who was wide-eyed across the table.

Anis was still laughing, she looked at Linda after wiping the wet end of her eyes. “Lo read that story too? You must be sprained with the character of Darma who became a criminal?”

Linda shone at the words of her friend. She was happy to have a friend who also read the story. “You also read that story?”

Anis nodded, glancing at Fiera who continued her lunch. The woman now pretended not to understand. Obviously, he is the one being talked about.

“Hah... right, right, if the author sucks because of the lack of updates? Just be careful if she makes her Riana die. I will make the author's life not quiet.”

Hearing that, Fiera who was eating immediately choked and Anis laughed again with the statement of her friend. He did not know that the author in question was Infiera.

“Fier, why? It's drinking.” Linda handed him the glass in front of her.

Fiera did not say anything, she was just busy easing her sore throat from choking.

“Gue hgga nothing.”

“Can I join?”

A woman's voice rang out from the direction of the commotion, making those who were worrying about Fiera immediately look back. Apparently, his new lecturer, Almira Shahira, who has only taught three days at the campus.

“Eh, Bu.” Bimo who was sitting next to Fiera who first spoke. “Bby, Mom, please.” Bimo got up from his seat and moved to the side of Anis who was across the table.

“Still, yes, Bim.”

“Sama-sama, Bu.” Bimo looks excited because his beautiful lecturer remembers his name. In addition to Bimo, others also look happy with the arrival of the new lecturer, because it turns out he is very good and also friendly. Three days on campus to teach.

While Fiera? The woman could only look at Abhimanyu, her husband came along with Ms. Almira and sat down with her.

Fiera turned her face away, reluctant to look at the man, the man who had always hurt her every time they spoke. Fiera felt that they had never spoken well all this time.Their conversation was intertwined only when Abhimanyu was upset.

On the other hand, Abhimanyu initially only wanted to buy drinking water in the canteen, but he met with Almira who was about to have lunch.

The woman who still has a place in her heart asked to be accompanied because she has not really known her new environment.

Actually Abhimanyu was a little reluctant, but he finally agreed to his invitation when he saw Almira's pleading eyes. He felt weak in front of the woman.

Who would have thought, Almira instead pulled her towards the bench, where her students were, which was even more surprising there too Fiera was having lunch. His wife who had not even appeared before him for three days.

“What are you talking about? Looks like a lot of fun?” tanya Almira started the conversation.

“Linda, here, Mom, she might be upset because her favorite author did not update.” Bimo explained. Since then, he has not been in the women's conversation.

“Oh, yes, who is the author? I also love reading books online.”

“Pena Miss.” Linda replied sadly, then her face was again upset considering the author.

Abhimanyu who was sitting next to Almira, had since glanced towards Fiera who just looked down and looked uncomfortable with his presence.

Moreover, Almira is currently with them. although in fact, his wife never knew if Almira was his ex-lover.

Suddenly Abhimanyu frowned slightly upon hearing the name. Missing Pens?

Isn't that the writer he rejected a week ago? It turns out that there are a lot of fans too. Abhimanyu was still unmoved to publish the story, as he still could not accept a happy ending to the story. It makes little sense for a plot that is too complex.

“Wah, Missing Pen, huh? Mom is also a fan.” Then, Almira turned to Abhimanyu who was sitting next to her. “Pak, you know that the author is very talented. I hope he has a book printed.” Almira speaks formally because she is aware of where she is.

Abhimanyu forced his smile. “I'll find his year first.”

Fiera suddenly got up from her seat and turned to Almira, but ignored Abhimanyu blatantly. “Bu, I'm sorry, yes.”

“Eh, you're Infiera, right? Which yesterday gave an interesting idea for our first discussion?”

Infiera smiled hearing that.

“True, Mom. I'm sorry.”

Although he knew that Abhimanyu and Almira were fellow lecturers. Somehow Fiera felt that there was something else she did not know about the two of them.

To him, the two of them were slightly different. How Abhimanyu looked at the woman, and vice versa. He could not bear to remain there and witness the closeness of the two, although there was nothing that would make anyone suspicious, but his heart told him to leave immediately.

“EH—“

Almira held back her words that wanted to speak.

“Sorry, Mom, she doesn't seem to be feeling well. Since morning complain of dizziness.” Bimo who explained when he saw his new lecturer was a little awkward because he was about to talk, but Fiera had already left just like that.

“Ah, so, yes?”

Hearing that Fiera was sick, Abhimanyu turned his gaze to the back of his wife who had walked further and further away and turned at the exit of the canteen. His heart became uncomfortable.
