MY WIFE IS A GHOST
RED BRACELET
Adrian sat waiting in the living room which was the same size as his house. Looking at this majestic scene, Adrian could once again only sigh long in regret and feel miserable.
I should have used this money yesterday!!
Shouldn't have thought so much yesterday because money with value is like a daily allowance for this homeowner!!
It should be .. if Dad had not acted and engaged with that seductive woman, maybe our lives would now be the same as the owner of this house!!
Should …!
Should …!
Benak Adrian continues to make many suppositions that make only more miserable with his current life.
“Happy day.” The owner of the house with a pretty handsome face in his 50s, greeted Adrian with a friendly smile on his lips.
“Se-good afternoon, P-Pak.”
“Do not be nervous so, Nak.” The homeowner sat down while gesturing Adrian to sit down as well. “Please sit, Nak.” The owner of the house looked at his empty living room table and immediately raised his hand. It didn't take long, a woman in her 40s showed up.
“Ya, Sir.”
“Can you please make a drink for my guest?”
“Ya, Sir.”
“You drink what, son??” The owner of the house who still looks dashing, asked Adrian while glancing at the outside window of his house that looks hot because of the sunlight. “Cold drink looks like it will be very fresh.”
Adrian nodded his head feeling uneasy. “Y-yes, Sir. Anything cold, I don't mind.”
“Coffee, juice or tea?” This time.
“K-coffee only.” Adrian answered briefly.
“Master wants what??” ask the house assistant.
“Tea warm only as usual.”
“Good, Sir.”
After the housekeeper left, the owner of the house began to introduce himself to Adrian. “Include my name is Gumilar. What's your name, son?”
“A-Adrian, Sir.”
“Ehm .. “ The owner of the house named Gumilar nodded his head while looking at Adrian. Although not directly, the man looked at Adrian from the top of his head to his feet quite carefully as if he was judging Adrian. “The word security guard in front of you came for finding money on behalf of my daughter??”
“Y-yes, Sir.” Adrian nodded his head while taking out the money that was still wrapped in a brown envelope just like yesterday. What was different was that the red rope wrapped around the envelope was no longer attached because Adrian put it in the envelope along with Felicia's money and business card. “This, Sir.”
“The red rope, did you open it??”
“Yes, Sir. It's inside.”
Once again the Gumilar-owner nodded his head as if judging Adrian. “Ehm .. why not use the money and return it? Seeing this house is very big, you must feel sorry to have returned this money right??”
Glupes. Adrian gulps his saliva due to a guess from the homeowner that is absolutely right with the situation from yesterday to the present. Yes, Adrian did feel sorry not to use the money. But ... maybe Adrian will feel guilty for using that money yesterday.
“I-it, Sir. As you said I am sorry but this regret is only a moment I feel compared to the guilt I will feel when using this money.”
“Why is that so, Son?”
“My regretful feeling came because I saw how big this house of Father is. I feel sorry because my mind says this money may be just a small amount of money for you. But ... “ Adrian swallowed his saliva because of his dry throat. Lucky housekeeper came and gave a drink to Adrian.
“Ya, Sir.” Adrian quickly drank his cold coffee and made his already very dry throat wet by refreshing cold coffee. Glup, glup. A large glass of cold coffee that is not too sweet was immediately gulped by Adrian.
“You're really thirsty, Son.”
“Ma-sorry, Sir. Coincidentally these two days the weather outside is really hot once.” Adrian was a little embarrassed and embarrassed.
“Do not hesitate, Nak.” The homeowner raised his hand again and soon the housekeeper brought another cold cup of coffee for Adrian.
“Te-thank you, Sir.”
“Sama-sama, Son. So courier is not an easy job, Nak.”
“I-that's right, sir. But isn't all work like that?? There is no such thing as easy in a job.”
The owner smiled at Adrian. “I love that thought of you, son. Nothing is easy at work. Could you please continue what you said earlier, son.”
“Ah true.” Adrian was nervous for a moment. Glup, glup. Adrian drank a little cold new coffee before continuing his words that had stopped earlier. “That regretful feeling came from seeing your great Father's house. But if what I came to was not a big house but a reot house, maybe I would feel very guilty for having used this money, Mr.”
Gumilar takes the envelope Adrian gave him, checks the contents, takes out the red rope inside and puts the envelope back without counting the money inside. “I'm happy with your honesty, son. Therefore, please give me your hand, Nak.”
Adrian gave his hand with a face of wonder and did not understand. What is he doing with my hands?
Sets, sets. Gumilar tied the red rope to Adrian's wrist, making the red rope like a bracelet in Adrian's hand. “Suppose this as your lucky thing, son. Together with this bracelet, you can take the money in it, Nak.”
“Ba-Father gave it to me??” Adrian asked in disbelief.
“Ya.”
“Why, Sir?” Adrian did not understand.
“I like your honesty, Son. That's it.” Gumilar replied with a friendly smile on his lips. “Only .. “
“Y-yes, Sir.”
“Don't take off that red bracelet in your hand, son. Looking at you who has a clean face and skin, if I don't guess wrong your job before this was in the room right??” Gumilar spoke in his casual tone.
“Y-yes, Sir. I have not been a courier for two weeks. Coincidentally I was fired for reasons I couldn't say.” Adrian answered by lowering his head. His father was something Adrian didn't want to tell anyone else. From many experiences so far, some people consider Adrian is an unfilial child for ignoring his father who was involved in debt without knowing the debt he got from gambling. So ... If not a good friend, as much as possible Adrian does not want to tell his life.
“Looking at the look on your face, I feel like you've been through a lot of misfortune. Therefore ... do not remove the bracelet and later .. you will get luck.”
“Te-thank you.” Adrian nodded his head while looking at the red bracelet in his hand. Is it true that this bracelet will be able to change my life?? I hope that once my life can change, I want my life to change a little. Not for me, but for my mother.
After saying goodbye, Adrian came out of the mansion and continued his work today. Unlike before, the sense of regret in Adrian's heart now disappeared and turned into a sense of pleasure. I met a good man today. Thank you, Lord.
