MY WIFE IS A GHOST
THE JACKPOT?
“Why are his legs lifted, son? Is there something down there??” Mr. Gumilar realizes the small act made by Adrian because of Felicia.
“I-ini .. “ Adrian has trouble telling us about Felicia's tears that are now on the floor of Mr. Gumilar's house. “Princess crying hearing Father's words just now.”
“Ohh .. “ Mr. Gumilar nods his head. “Life, Felicia is. He was very easy to cry because of small things, but also easy to laugh because of small things. If my son has caused you any trouble, please be informed. Because she is the only daughter for us, so we pamper her a little.”
Little bit?? Adrian shook his head in doubt. It seems not only a little but it spoils him a lot. Adrian shook his head again, this time no longer hesitating, but firm. But ... This is not the time for their family troubles, Adrian!!! Huft!!! Adrian took a deep breath to wake himself up. “Sorry, Sir! Can I talk now??”
“Ah please, Son! I'm sorry I got carried away until I forgot your purpose in coming here, son. What does Adrian want to know first? Reason or what?”
Huft!! Adrian sighed again trying to focus on the purpose of his arrival. “Felicia died when? Died because of what and why is a one-sided marriage like this done??”
“Two more months is exactly a year of death from Felicia. Ten months ago Felicia who was studying outside the city suddenly had an accident on the way here. We don't know what caused the accident, but the police concluded that Felicia was sleepy and ended up bumping into the road divider.” Mr. Gumilar begins to explain what happened to Felicia. “Then regarding this ghost wedding, it all started after three months Felicia was buried. My wife-Devi, Mother Felicia suddenly heard and saw the spirit of Felicia wandering in the house. Thanks to that we called the paranormal and they said that Felicia's spirit is floating because she died at a very young age.”
“Trus, why did you choose me??” ask Adrian curious. “Given Felicia's age, she might just have someone she likes.”
Mr. Gumilar nodded in agreement with Adrian's last words. “I think so too. It's just that according to the paranormal, looking for a groom for Felicia can not be arbitrary. We had to put the money inside a brown envelope which was then tied up with a red rope. This money we put on the street as a dowry, just that not just anyone could see and open that red rope. If the man's birth matched Felicia's birth, then the man would look at the envelope and open the red cord. That's the condition of the psychic regarding the bride for Felicia.”
Adrian was reminded of Mr. Gumilar's question yesterday.
“The red rope, did you open it??”
“Yes, Sir. It's inside.”
Instantly Adrian finally understood why Mr. Gumilar asked him yesterday when he returned the money. Damnit damnit!! From the beginning, this guy knew that opening the red rope was a sign that I was the right partner for his daughter-Felicia. Shit man!!! He himself even put the red rope in my hand and made Felicia's spirit bound to me!! Damnit damnit!! Damnit damnit!!
Adrian clenched his hand holding back his anger.
“I know you're angry.” Felicia noticed Adrian's feelings of anger. “But don't take this trouble, Adrian.”
“What do you mean?” Adrian asked in a soft voice hearing Felicia's words.
“You can just look at my house. Looking at this house, of course you know that my family is rich and from my father's words, it seems that my father loved me very much as his son. Just like those who use you to calm me down, take advantage of them too, Adrian.”
Eh?? Adrian immediately turned his head to the side where Felicia was sitting while looking fiercely at his own father-Tuan Gumilar. “Ka-you sure I can do that to your family??”
“Married to me means you are the daughter-in-law of this family. You should understand the meaning of the word son-in-law here, Adrian! Treasure in my name, you should also be able to enjoy it even if not much!” Felicia tried to explain. “Try you use that to make a deal with my dad.”
Glupes. Adrian gulps his saliva hearing Felicia's explanation. It was true what Felicia said. This family used me as a way to make Felicia's spirit calm, so you should get paid for it. I am not a monk who only does good and receives payment by prayer and reward! I'm just a human being with a myriad of problems piling up and needing a solution where the solutions I need are mostly money related.
Buk!! Without Adrian knowing, Mr. Gumilar had knelt in front of Adrian and put on a face pleading to Adrian.
“Nak, I beg you, please help my daughter-Felicia. We waited seven months and almost lost hope. If until the anniversary of the death of Felicia's spirit is still not calm, later Felicia will not be able to reincarnate. Please, son. I'll do anything for you as payment.”
“Pak! Don't do this!!” Adrian who felt unbearable and hesitant immediately rose from his seat, and sat on the floor, just like Mr. Gumilar.
“See!!” Felicia spoke as she sat on the floor following Adrian. “My dad said he would do anything, right?? Do something with it, Adrian! Tell me what you want!!! It should be that by using that sentence, you can get money or whatever you want!!”
“How about this, son?? Felicia my daughter has an inheritance ration, I can give half Felicia's inheritance to you, son. I can give it to you as long as you help me make Felicia's spirit feel calm.”
Mr. Gumilar made a really tempting offer to Adrian. It's just that Adrian still feels hesitant to accept money this way. It was like blackmailing someone else!!, thought Adrian.
*
“Why not directly accept it, Adrian??” Felicia nags at Adrian while at home after Adrian asks Gumilar for three days to think about Gumilar's offer.
“I doubt it, Feli!! I feel like the way you give it is like you're blackmailing someone else. Didn't you see your father was really begging me? Aren't you angry?” adrian's reply.
“I don't know. The only feeling I can feel, it's all about you, Adrian. Seeing you angry, I also felt angry. Seeing you upset, I also felt annoyed. Seeing you happy, I am also happy,” Felicia replied. “I'm confused with you, Adrian. You can big jakpot, but still hesitate to accept it.”
Jakpot huh?? Adrian saw Felicia who was sitting floating in the air with her maniacal lips. Aye! I should have accepted that jakpot!!
“Kalo you want me to accept it, what can I do for you, Feli??” ask Adrian.
“Do a few things for me. Most others are easy jobs, but one thing may be a little heavy.”
“What is it?” ask Adrian again.
“Reason behind my death.”
“Aren't you dead in an accident??” adrian asked confusedly.
“Yes, it's just .. I caught the look of doubt in my father's eyes earlier. I am sure ... My father also felt unsure about the cause of my death.”
Adrian thought for a moment. That's not an easy thing. But it's not impossible to take my job first.huft! Adrian exhaled after feeling confident and making a decision. “Good, we do that!! I will accept your father's offer and reply to him by finding the reason for your death.”
Felicia smiled at Adrian's reply. It's just that Felicia's lips came back manyun when approaching Adrian. “It was ... My main request. But my other request can you give me this kiss on my lips, my husband??”
Adrian immediately pushed away Felicia's face that was getting closer to him. “This issue, don't expect you to get it!! I can help you find the reason behind your death but don't expect to buy my body!!”
“Pelit!! Though you will also feel happy later!” Felicia's lips now turned into a sign of her regret.
“Where did you learn that logic, Feli??”
“I can't remember. It's just that ... In my mind, that sentence just popped up. Somehow ... I feel if all men are the same: seeing women as the object of their lustful gratification.”
