My Ex-husband Lecturer
Chapter 78 Waking Up in the Morning at the Hotel

Morning sunlight enters slowly through the gaps - curtain gaps that do not have time to close tightly. The light entered through the window - a glass window with a shadow that gives contrast to the corners of the hotel wall.

Kirana, the girl was still rolled up inside the thick blanket with the coldness of the AC radiance she made with the lowest possible temperature. Kirana is tired. Although the sun had already revealed all its light, Kirana still did not want to accept it was already early morning.

It had been more than 3x the alarm went off and Kirana seemed unperturbed by the sound. He was still immersed in the cold room and tired of the body that has been working for a week to succeed the art show. So far, Kirana thinks the show has been a huge success. There are a lot of different things that he brings with the team.

Cringe Cringe

This time it wasn't the phone alarm she heard, but the ringtone sound of the call Kirana set with her favorite song. Favorite jazz song that has been the ringtone for more than a year.

He first learns the song from a cafe when Kirana is still confused about what to do with her life after what has happened to her lately. It was the moment Kirana would prepare to start her new day as a student.

2x 3x 5x

As if not disturbed by any sound maybe even the sound of a chorus trumpet will not be able to interfere with Kirana's sleep tonight. He couldn't sleep yesterday. Today he should be able to sleep as much as possible.

Cringe cring

The phone went off again 20 minutes after the last sound of the phone before. Kirana's hand appears out of between the blankets trying to find - find her cellphone. Where not. He did not know and just tried to widen the range of his hands where - where.

The longer the ringtone sounds the louder. Kirana finally pulled her head out of the blanket and tried to figure out where her phone was.

‘Me’

The phone was on the floor. Maybe he kicked it yesterday.

‘Sister Rian?’, thought Kirana in heart.

He thought, surely the one who contacted him was mama. Because her mother must have wanted to confirm Kirana's whereabouts. Although Kirana had said it before. Kirana can only hope, Ghea did not fall asleep and said that she was not at home.

His friends like to forget memories. Even the brifieng he had given since yesterday could have been forgotten.

But it wasn't my mom who called him. But Brother Rian.

‘Why? How do I succeed?’, Kirana said inwardly.

Apparently, Kirana had forgotten about yesterday's incident where she was locked in the bathroom. Kirana chose to reject Rian's phone call with a satisfied smile.

The girl pulled back her blanket and went to sleep. Shortly after, his phone went off. Not the sound of the call. But the sound of WhatsApp messages.

At first, the girl lazily lifted him up. But he finally felt curious. Kira - guess what Rian's gonna say, huh?. That's how he thought.

Kirana can even present 10 possible messages that will be received. The girl chose to pull the phone into her blanket. Apparently, the sun was bothering him.

Kirana still wants dark.

From Rian: 

Exit. Breakfast breakfast. Go home. 

Kirana's eyes rounded reading the message. Just three words. Already so, each word also has a dot.

‘What - what the hell is this?’, asked Kirana as her eyebrows frowned.

Kirana threw her phone on a chair not far away. Kirana forgot that her phone was still hanging from a used charger last night. Eventually, his phone fell to the floor.

“Oh!”, the girl panicked and woke up from her sleep.

It was a new phone he bought with his pocket money. Can't crack.

Unintentionally, Kirana presses the receive button which turns out to be a phone call from Rian.

“Ran? When do you want to sleep? Your mom must be worried. Out now. We have breakfast and checkout.”, Rian said in a serious tone.

“Tersubtitled me. Checkout can be at 11. Still long.”, Kirana said casually.

“And now it's 10.30. You can check-out next year, but pay yourself.”, Rian said shut down his phone.

Kirana recalled yesterday's conversation at the reception.
