Galak Lecturer's Wife
Because of the Bandages

Fiera returned home with an increasingly pale face. He felt his lower abdomen ache and his head grow dizzy.

Today is his first day of the period. He had no supplies of pain relievers and only wanted to get home soon to be able to quickly lie down.

Fiera dropped her bag just in the middle of the house and walked to the living room sofa, then laid her body there because she had no energy to walk up to her room.

Cold sweat ran down his back, his waist was no less painful. In that condition, Fiera was anxious to cry because there was no one who could help her ease her pain.

While at home, usually his mother will make ginger water and honey. His mother also likes to help him massage his back. Although it did not relieve the pain, at least Fiera felt someone take care of her.

However, from the time she got married she had to take care of herself.

Infiera closed her eyes, hoping that the pain in her stomach could subside a little after a while. Until finally, the woman fell asleep just like that on the living room sofa.

Fiera woke up less than an hour because the pain in her stomach never subsided. Fiera sighed softly to calm herself down and tried to get up from lying down.

Apparently, he had to order painkillers online. He was looking for the whereabouts of his bag, it turns out it was there— near the stairs— lying just like that.

Fiera got up and walked over, approaching him. Just as he leaned over to grab the bag lying on the floor, the entrance opened from the outside, it turned out that Abhimanyu had just returned home.

Perhaps because Fiera was too focused on her pain, she could not hear the sound of her husband's car coming into the yard.

Fiera did not say anything, she passed on her intention to take the bag, and search for her phone.

Abhimanyu watched Fiera who was standing near the stairs towards the second floor. The woman's face was pale and sweat soaked her face.

“Do you get sick?” asked Abhimanyu to step closer.

Fiera shook her head, she had no strength to explain. He was also a little awkward to explain it to Abhimanyu, considering their relationship was not too close.

Fiera walked past Abhimanyu, which made Abhimanyu misunderstand. He assumed that Infiera was still angry because of their quarrel last time.

Abhimanyu grabbed Infiera's hand and said, “I know you're still mad at me, but tell me if you're sick.”

Fiera is not arguing, her hormones are unstable. He pulled his hand slowly. “I'm fine.” Fiera intended to continue her steps towards the room, as her head felt increasingly dizzy.

“Infiera!” abhimanyu's jolt doesn't like to be ignored. He was trying to care about that woman.

Infiera stopped her steps and let out an irritated sigh. “I told you, I'm fine!”

“How are you okay? Look, your face is so pale.”

Fiera slightly lowered her head as it throbbed more and more pain. Plus Abhimanyu who was not satisfied with the answer. “Au—“

Before he could speak Abhimanyu's words, Fiera's body was a little dazed. Abhimanyu quickly caught the frail body of the woman.

“Hard head!” pissed off. Abhimanyu dropped his bag, then carried Fiera who was about to fall. He took her to the woman's room and laid her on the bed.

“Please wait, after this we go doctor. I'll change my clothes first.”

“Not necessary. I'm fine!”

Abhimanyu sighed heavily, with all his might holding back his anger. Only this time did he find out how stubborn this woman was. Maybe because they are used to living in that house.

“I don't care what you want to say, but what I see, you're obviously sick! Look, your face is also very pale. What if it turns out to be very ill? Mom will blame me for being irresponsible!”

Fiera closed her eyes when she heard Abhimanyu's words, she denounced him. What Abhimanyu cared about was his mother's opinion, not because she really cared about him.

“I am well. I'm just coming by the moon. Satisfied?!” infiera growled, re-opening her eyes.

Eh?

Abhimanyu was surprised, it turns out that the woman was coming by the moon. But, how could his condition come to such an end? As he remembered, his mother had never experienced it.

“But your face is very pale and you almost fainted just now.”

If only Fiera had the energy. He was eager to hit Abhimanyu with the bag beside his body, but he was too limp to do so.

“Not all women have the same condition when they are in period. And this is my condition when it comes month.”

Fiera was forced to explain it, because the man was too stupid to understand his condition.

Abhimanyu became misbehaved upon hearing that. How did he know that? Abhimanyu cleared his throat to throw off his awkwardness, then asked, “Then, what do you usually treat him using? Let me find it.”

Fiera shakes.

“No need, I will order it online.”

“It will take quite a long time. Just tell me, let me buy it.”

“You sure you want to help me?”

Abhimanyu's face flushed slightly from feeling embarrassed by what he was about to say. “I'm sure. I'm sorry for what happened last time. I never cared about you.”

Fiera's stunned. He was surprised by the man's sudden apology. It was completely beyond her expectations. Fiera never thought that Abhimanyu would apologize, considering that the man was always harsh.

Abhimanyu really felt guilty. What's more, these last three days he's realized a lot of things. Piles of unwashed dirty clothes, piles of dirty dishes used for eating, as well as his messy room. Normally, when Abhimanyu left the house, Fiera would do all that.

Abhimanyu regretted not because there was no one to help him do it all, but he regretted that he had never cared about the woman who had been his rightful wife. He always thought that Fiera was a bit of a burden.

The woman was always careless and careless in the house, until she forgot all her kindness. It seemed, she had to start changing her attitude and talking to Fiera after the woman's condition improved.

“That's no problem,” Fiera replied.

“Then, what do you need? I'll buy him.”

Fiera hesitated to say it. He wasn't sure if Abhimanyu could really afford it.

“Why?”

“Nothing. I was just thinking. I need a pain reliever, you can buy it at the pharmacy. Then.. .” Fiera hesitated to say what the others needed.

“Then what?”

Huh huh?

“You're right!” grunts Abhimanyu.

Fiera opened her mouth. I suspect that Abhimanyu objected to that.

“Ya already if you can't! I'll order it myself via online.”

Abhimanyu. He hesitated a little, but he said he could do it.

“Alright, I'll buy it. You wait.” Abhimanyu was about to get out of the room, but only one step back he said. “Have you eaten?”

Fiera shakes. While on campus earlier, he hurried home because his stomach was too painful and his head was getting dizzy.

“What do you want to eat? Let me buy him.”

Fiera seemed to think. He would not pretend to reject it. “I want fried rice in front of complex.”

“Good, wait.”

After that, Abhimanyu stepped away.

Fiera was surprised, because Abhimanyu agreed to all his requests. He smiled as the man completely walked out of his room

“It turns out, useful also I broke down and broke down doing homework for three days.” Fiera giggled amusedly. He is slightly improving because of that. He was happy because finally, after almost a year of him experiencing the torment of a period of being alone, there was someone helping him this time.

***

Abhimanyu drove his car to a pharmacy not far from his home. He mentioned what he needed, Fiera had sent via chat the brand he used to use.

“A-you sure want to buy it?” A female apothecary looked in disbelief, she also looked nervous in the presence of Abhimanyu.

Abhimanyu snorted, he did not like the apothecary's incredulous look. “What's the reason?” ketus tanyanya.

“Do you know what it is for?”

“Of course!”

“Ah, like that. Fine, I'll take it.” The pharmacist smiled, he did not expect that his night shift work would meet this handsome man.

After a while, the apothecary returned, bringing what Abhimanyu had asked for. The man also bought some medicine for supplies.

“This, Sir.”

Abhimanyu received a pocket of medicine and handed over a hundred thousand dollars.

“Your lover is very lucky, yes, to have a lover like you.” The apothecary tried to get along, but instead of making Abhimanyu uncomfortable, he simply ignored her.

Abhimanyu received his change. Then, say before stepping away, “I'm married!”

After saying that, he turned around and left the apothecary whose face had now turned crimson with embarrassment. To be honest, the pharmacist said that he hoped to be answered that Abhimanyu did not have a lover and only helped someone to buy it.

But Abhimanyu is married. He was disappointed before trying.

After buying painkillers, Abhimanyu headed to the minimarket opposite the pharmacy. He immediately walked towards the sanitary pad window.

There were several buyers there, looking towards him as Abhimanyu searched for the pads Infiera wanted. The woman has sent her picture, she said that there are many types and did not want Abhimanyu to choose wrong.

“The problem is looking for pads?” A shopkeeper approached him.

“Iya,” replied Abhimanyu briefly.

“What kind of thing does it want? Many types... .” The waiter explained the different types of pads, from the standard size to the longer and wider size.

Abhimanyu began to be uncomfortable because again the waiter of this store did not want to explain, because occasionally he threw temptations at him.

Abhimanyu was a little irritated. He pulled out his phone and showed a photo sent by Fiera. “I need this one.”

The waiter looked, he smiled. “Oh, the.” He took one kind of bandage. “This, Mas.”

There were some young female visitors looking towards Abhimanyu, they were whispering and smiling towards him.

Abhimanyu started to feel embarrassed as well as irritated. What if men buy it? Is there not a woman in every family?

Abhimanyu took her to the cashier to pay for it, while waiting for the queue, suddenly a mother said.

“Ih, lucky to be your girlfriend, Nak.” The mothers praised him for laughing a little. “If you break up with your boyfriend, then I'll introduce you to my daughter. She's beautiful, loh.”

Abhimanyu looked at the mothers who were talking. He just put on his face. Whatdoes thatmean?

Abhimanyu only slightly pulled the tip of his lips. How could a mother say such a thing? He immediately paid for his groceries and immediately left the mini market. His feelings are a little irritated. Just because he bought menstrual pain medication and bought a sanitary pad, he became the center of attention.

Without Abhimanyu realized, it turns out that in the mini market there are two women who are none other than students. They were shocked when they saw what Abhimanyu had bought.

“Wah... You see what Mr Abhimanyu bought?”

“Of course. That's sanitary napkin. Who do you think that's for? What's for his mother? You see, I think Mr. Abi is an only child. I know from Bu Gina.” The student giggled, he often got his handsome lecturer information from the gossipy perpus officer.

“Not Pak Abi from Palembang, huh? That means his parents are there too.”

“Then, means to his girlfriend.” The two people immediately giggled again with their hypothesis. “But who's his girlfriend?”

“Don't Bu Almira, our new lecturer? You see, right, if they're close? In fact, Ms. Almira has just taught at our campus.”

“True too.. .”

The two students' conversation continued. They continue to guess the relationship between Abhimanyu and their beautiful new lecturer, who is now the talk of all male students because of her beauty.
