My Ex-husband Lecturer
Chapter 69 Women in Rian's Life

Claudia returned to the hospital. He walked to the room where his father was being treated. Sera who had just sipped her iced tea was puzzled to see Claudia returning with a flat-face look.

“Mba... The doctor has more info about papa?”, asked Claudia as soon as she arrived in front of her papa's ward.

“Hn. There was a doctor who checked my condition. Said okay. There's nothing to worry about. Papa is still sleeping the effect of the drug given by the doctor. In order to get more rest because lately papa seems to be over-forsering his working hours.”, replied Sera who answered Claudia's question by running.

“Oiya, mas Ken was also here to check. He just finished the operation for a long time. Keep saying doi tomorrow replace the guard.”, said Sera explained.

“Hm.. Just a minute? How to pass in front, yes.”, asked Claudia.

There is only one hospital entrance from the outside. Cars, motorbikes, and pedestrians use entry access located in the same area.

“Maybe he was in the parking lot when you came out. So did not have time papasan.”, explained Sera gave guesses of other possibilities.

“Ahhh..”, says Claudia.

Since then, Sera has been willing to open her mouth several times asking about Rian. The man that Claudia wanted to follow. But, it seemed that from the look on Claudia's face, things did not go smoothly.

Sera already knew enough how to read the expressions of others let alone this was her own family. And she also has more experience regarding male and female relationships.

Rather than her making her sister's mood worse, Sera decided to swallow whatever question she wanted to ask.

“Kak, I'm back first, yeah. I was more relieved because papa finally gapapa and just need rest. I have morning classes tomorrow. In the afternoon I will be here again, yes to see papa.”, said Claudia.

“Okee.. papa driver is already in front?”, ask Sera to make sure.

Claudia nodded.

“At home there are people?”, asked Sera just realized that papa is in the hospital, the possibility at home could be quiet.

“There is, mba. Bam said he didn't come here. He's only here tomorrow. The important thing is papa already gapapa said.”, explained Claudia who has not talked much.

“Iya really too. If he comes here, then you can even be alone at home. Yaudah barin mba with her husband mba aja here. Later there will also be Mba Tuti and mama who are again on the way.”, said Sera.

“Where?” mba, asked Claudia only realized that she was alone.

“Oh.. earlier nganterin the brother went home first. Kasian's still going to school tomorrow. Mba's husband at home. There will be others. Replace - replace the case. They are still stuck in traffic.”, Sera said.

“Hm..what need I friendsin.”.

“Engga. You have returned. Mba is big. Kasian tomorrow you still have to teach in the morning, right?”, said Sera.

Claudia finally nodded.

***flashback ***

Claudia came over to catch up with Rian to once again thank him and apologize for his disrespect a few days ago in the car. After thinking for a few days, he finally realized that he was wrong. 

Just now that Claudia wanted to look for Rian, Rian's figure appeared together with a woman. Claudia could not see it clearly because the light was not so bright. In addition, the figure of the woman was also covered in Rian's body. 

Claudia could only see him once in a while when Rian and Kirana's steps might not be in line. But, of course it was only a few seconds. 

‘Is that the same woman that was photographed? The student who accidentally ran into her today? Do they have a special relationship? Otherwise, how could Rian be so angry at me just because I dropped his photo.’, Claudia sank within her own periphery following with the sweet interaction she saw from her point of view. 

Yes, from a relatively far distance, Claudia naturally could not hear what they were saying. Claudia could have her own interpretation. 

If in fact Rian and Kirana are having an argument, but it doesn't look like it in Claudia's eyes. In his head were many possible scenarios of conversation between Rian and Kirana. 

‘Lecturers and students? Is Rian that open about his relationship? I didn't hear Rian has a lover.’, Claudia thought to herself. 

***********

“Ran, you have a ga?” wallet, asked Rian while whispering.

“Eh?”, of course Kirana instantly gives a sharp eye highlight.

Where - where usually men who pay a taxi if they ride both. Why did Rian ask her? Or let alone this between male and female relationships. If this is about lecturers and students, it should be the lecturer who pays. No, if this is a human relationship, it should be the more mature ones who pay.

“Kak, later it will be able to go up briefly to take the wallet.”, Kirana said.

“Ah. yes.. Okay.. forgot.”, Rian's response that makes Kirana instantly forget that he is a lecturer in Physics who already holds a Ph.D. The Student Research Chair in Pure Physics.

Kirana can only shake - a head gnarl.

Without feeling the two had arrived at the campus parking lot. The atmosphere was still very crowded and this shocked both of them. They forget that this is the time of UTS where many students remain on campus even though the course has been completed.

They learn together starting from discussing problems or even participating in special learning sessions together with lecturer assistants.

“Sister Rian, bentar. Sir, can you back off again ga?”, Kirana asked the taxi driver while holding Rian's arm to prevent him from descending.

“Eh? Back out again? Mean mba? Didn't you ask to be dropped off at the Faculty of Engineering?”, asked the driver confused.

“Forward Sir.”, Kirana said.

“Kak, I forgot that the campus is still rame at this hour. Everyone learns about UTS. What do they say if we get off the same taxi?”, asked Kirana in a panic.

“What do they say? Yeah, they didn't say anything. Normal - normal, right if you take a taxi with me. I am a lecturer, you are a student.”, Rian said back in a flat tone.

“Hello.. ga so it's impossible they just said.. Oh. there's Mr. Rian with the student. Keep on, they continue to study again. There they will be confusion. Eh... why do women take a taxi with Mr Rian? Uh Mr Rian again who is the same? Kirana? With Mr Rian? Whynot? Hitherto.. Sir. just back off the cab. In front is lonely. I waited there while Mr. Rian took the wallet.”, Kirana said giving aba - aba.

Rian just sighed and followed Kirana's words.

“OK... okay..”, Rian replied.

“Eh... wait. Why don't you come down?”, asked Kirana.

Rian directly raised his eyebrows. Not that you said back off. Later new down.”, reply Rian.

“Ya Rian's sister got off here.. Why do you follow me backwards?”, Kirana said.

The taxi looked confused. But he doesn't matter as long as Argo stays on the road.

Rian glanced at Mr. Taxi for a moment. It's not a problem that he doesn't understand what Kirana means. But he also felt worried because he would leave Kirana alone if he got down here now.

“Pak, back to that stop over there, yeah. Next-door faculty. The rada terangan.”, Rian's orders on the taxi driver.

Since Rian was much more mature than Kirana, the driver did not hesitate to follow his orders and rewind his car then drove towards the next Faculty.

“How far is it?”, Kirana protests to Rian.

“Udah diem. Let the big guys who lead.”, said Rian.

Before long, they had already reached the point that Rian had told them.

“Down.”, Rian said to Kirana.

Kirana frowned in confusion.

“This Faculty next door. No one will know you and me.”, Rian said.

Kirana seemed to think for a while and agreed that what RIan said just now made sense. They are now in front of the arts and language faculty. No one knows Rian or Kirana. They're free to come down here.

“Sit there. Wait for. Don't go anywhere - where. If anyone bothers you, yell.”, said Rian.

“Iya. anyhow who wants to disturb in the campus environment.”, said Kirana.

Rian did not respond to the girl. He approached the taxi driver for a moment.

“Pak, can be waited for a while, yes. I take the wallet first.”, Rian said.

The driver assented.
