MY WIFE IS A GHOST
FATHER-IN-LAW IS A BITCH

“Adrian?? Adrian?” Felicia kept calling Adrian. “Don't let me be like this!! The only person I can talk to is you! If you ignore me, why would I marry you???”

            From the hospital, Adrian continues to silence Felicia because Felicia secretly steals a kiss from him right in front of his mother.

            “Your mother can't see that I kissed you! Why are you mad sigh?” Felicia asked again.

            Huft!!! Adrian exhaled a long breath holding back his emotions. According to Adrian, it would be better if Felicia kept quiet until Adrian slept and forgot his regret when he woke up the next day. But Felicia is not the type of person Adrian thought, which if ignored will usually feel guilty, Felicia actually continues to harass Adrian just to ask for an explanation. Fucking woman!! Only that sentence Adrian could speak in his mind.

            Some of Adrian's coworking experiences had also experienced the same thing: his girlfriend who was guilty and silenced by Adrian's colleagues. But at the end of the day, the woman who snorted because she was ignored and the man who finally apologized. And now the same situation happened to Adrian, but this time .. Adrian did not intend to have the same end as the end of his co-worker first.

            “Adrian!!! Don't ignore me!!”

            “Today .. You kissed me in front of my mother!! What next time you're gonna do something else worse, huh?? Although you are a ghost and only I can see it, but still it was in front of my mother, Feli!!!” Adrian, who had been trying to stay silent, finally pulled out his teeth.

            “You hit me. Is it still not enough??” Felicia immediately put on a guilty face hearing Adrian's words. “Kalo you are still angry, you can hit me again. But ... Don't ignore me! Don't shut me up!! I've been alone for ten months and can't talk to anyone, only you can talk to me!! So ... You can be angry, you can beat me up, but don't let me down??”

            Adrian sat on his bed scratching his head in frustration.

            “Adrian?” call Felicia who is now sitting on the floor as if on her knees and look at Adrian with her guilty look. “I'm sorry. I won't repeat it again. About kissing you, next time I'll ask your permission.”

            “How can I trust your words??” ask Adrian.

            “Kalo it happened again ... you can ignore me.”

            Huft!! Adrian took another deep breath trying to hold himself back. In his mind, seeing Felicia in that position made Adrian feel a little guilty. Huft!! Adrian took another deep breath. “This is your last warning, Feli.”

            Felicia takes Adrian's hand and attaches Adrian's hand to Felicia's cold face.

            “Ka-you want what??” Adrian is confused by what Felicia is doing right now.

            “Feeling your warmth. You know .. My body is cold. So when I feel the warmth of your body, I feel like I'm alive.” Felicia smiled even with a little sad look because it made Adrian angry. “Thank you for sorryin, Adrian.”

            Buk, buk!!

            “What is it?” ask Felicia. “Who is knocking on the door like that??”

            Adrian pulls his hand from Felicia's grasp while cursing. “Sial!! He's back again!”

            “Who's back?” The curious Felicia follows Adrian who checks the door of the house and the lights of his house. “So ... Because of this guy, you always turn off the lights when night falls??”

            “Adrian!! Adrian!! I know you're inside!! Open the door, Adrian!!”

            The curious Felicia then peeked out through the walls of Adrian's house to see the appearance of Adrian's father who had been thought to be a debt collector who was collecting debts on Adrian.

            Satisfied to see how the look of Adrian's father and his father-in-law, his father-in-law, Felicia went into the house and approached Adrian who was opening his dinner which he had bought after the chicken hospital.

            “Your father, are you going to let him do that??” felicia asked as she floated in the air.

            Adrian nodded his head. “Yes, let it go. He will go alone later. Sorry to make you hear this commotion, Feli.”

            “Do you apologize, Adrian??” Felicia scratched her head feeling confused. “As you said, I'm a ghost. Your father's shout doesn't bother me at all.”

            Huft!! Adrian took a deep breath. Aye!! Perhaps out of habit, I used to apologize to the neighbors when her father came and made a fuss at night. Adrian sat on the floor and started eating his dinner. “You're right! I forgot that you're a ghost and I used to apologize to neighbors whenever my father made a scene like this.”

            “Can I know what's wrong with your father??” Felicia asks carefully to Adrian for fear of making Adrian angry again. “Ka-kalo you don't want a story, not papa.”

            Nyam, nyam! Adrian devours rice with his default chicken with a flat face. “This is no secret anymore. But since you will be tied to me for a long time, maybe I should tell you this ... “

            While eating his dinner, Adrian tells of his father's actions that occurred eight years ago to the reason that made him ignore his father after several years of trying to help his father.

            “Adrian?” Felicia asked when Adrian finished telling the story and finished dinner.

            “Ehm, why?” Adrian got up from his seat on the floor, threw away his dinner wrapper and washed his hands and mouth that smelled of rotten chicken.

            “Sorry, I'll do this.” Felicia said an apology before drifting higher than Adrian and then stroking Adrian's head like she did this afternoon to Felicia. “You did your best, Adrian! You have survived well!! And you have grown into a good man in the middle of your family!! I am proud to meet you and be your wife!! You're great, Adrian!!”

            Tests, tests. Adrian who was shocked to see Felicia's actions, involuntarily shed her tears.

            “You cry, Adrian?? Am I wrong again??” Felicia panic.

            Adrian shook his head while removing a few drops of his fallen tears without realizing it. “Ngak. Thanks though. I can only say that.” Adrian lowered his head trying to hide his face that was soaked by his tears.

            “Cup, cup.” Felicia once again gently stroked Adrian's head while talking as if she was coaxing a crying child.

            Of all the people, why is it that this perverted female ghost understands me?? Of all the people, why did she say that to me?? Adrian's tears did not stop flowing but just getting louder. Adrian, who had felt his life was so heavy, immediately felt half of the burden of his life was reduced just because of Felicia's words to him.
