MY WIFE IS A GHOST
CROCODILE TEARS

            Adrian's schedule today is to finish all his work delivering packages, go home quickly and stop by Mr. Gumilar's house to ask for an explanation of this clearly illegitimate unilateral marriage.

            Broom!!

            “Package!!!”

            One package, two packages, three packages.

            Adrian continues to drive his motorbike while stopping by the houses to deliver packages. “Package!”

            And when say the word ‘packet’, Felicia will mimic Adrian's greeting and shout “Packet!!” Seeing Felicia's actions, Adrian felt a little funny and strange. Funny because the screams that come out of Felicia's mouth will only be heard by Adrian alone. And strange because Felicia does not complain at all when it comes to traveling on Adrian's bike while delivering packages.

            “Why don't you complain with me about the package?? You're not hot??” ask Adrian curious.

            “I ghost. I can't handle the heat of the sun. But another one is the heat of your body, Adrian.” Felicia sat in the back, on top of a pile of packages that Adrian intersected while tightly hugging Adrian's plate.

            “My body heat??” adrian asked confusedly.

            “This red bracelet is a link between you and me. If you have anything, like sick, for example, I will fuss. Even if you are overheated though, I can also rasain.”

            “Ohhh .. “ Adrian glanced at the red bracelet on his right hand. “Any also bracelet from this simple red rope can make me the same you connected. Trus how if there is nothing with you? Am I going to rasain??”

            “No! You will not be racist. Anyway, I am a ghost. The bracelet bound you to me and let you see me, talk to me and even hit me. Instead ... I'll take what you're feeling. That was the price I received for being bound to a human. But thanks to that .. I feel like I'm alive again.”

            From the tone of his speech, Adrian can clearly guess if Felicia really feels happy to be attached to him because he feels himself living as a human and not as a ghost.

            “Trus why not be ashamed come with me nganter package??” This time Adrian asked as a man to a woman. Adrian always felt inferior because his life did not have a clear future because of his father.

            “Ngak. Great package too!! Riding the bike is also great!! The wind that blows on my face feels cold. I don't know why .. but it felt like in my life I also felt the same way like gini.”

            “You're weird ya.” Adrian commented while glancing at his rearview mirror to see how Felicia enjoyed the wind blowing in his face.

            “Maybe. If I wasn't weird, I wouldn't end up being a ghost and hanging out for a long time.” Felicia replied in a relaxed tone because she was enjoying the wind that she could never feel while living as a ghost. “After you finish work, where are we? You from earlier seemed to speed up his work.”

            “To your parents' house.”

            “My house?? Why go there??” Felicia asked in wonder.

            “Asking for an explanation of this situation. At least I should know the reason why they chose me and got you attached to me. Maybe your family has a certain reason for doing this.”

            “Kalo you already know the reason, are you going to dump me??”

            Felicia's tone sounded a little sad. Though his relationship with Adrian was only a day, but Felicia was already sad to hear Adrian's remarks.

            “We'll see later. I'll answer that question if I know why your family did this to me.”

            As per his calculations before working earlier, Adrian who speed up the delivery today managed to complete the shipment faster. The target is reached and Adrian has more time to go to Felicia's house and ask for an explanation.

            “Pak, I came yesterday. Can I meet Mr Gumilar?” Adrian, who was standing in front of the gate of Felicia's house, informed the guards of his arrival.

            “What do you need, Mas?”

            “It's a problem about Felicia.”

            Hearing the reason for Adrian's arrival, the security guard contacted the inside of the house and soon opened the gate to Adrian.

            “Adrian.” Felicia stops Adrian right in front of the entrance.

            “Ehm??”

            “You deg-degan??” ask Felicia.

            “Slight.”

            “Why?? Is it because you want to meet your in-laws??” Felicia asked with her innocent face and then made a mischievous smile. “Just relax, my family shouldn't bite or pounce on you. Same with me.”

            Adrian's heart that was racing faster, immediately returned to his normal pulse when he heard Felicia's words. Adrian furrowed his brows before raising his hand to flick Felicia's forehead. “Too you dare to do it, maybe I can make thrown further than yesterday.”

            “Hiks, hiks!!” Felicia's tears fell with the look on her face which also felt sad. “Kasian once I was. Why marry such a cruel husband?? You don't want a hot night, don't want to kiss me, you hug me. If I wasn't the one who was curled up, you wouldn't want to hug.”

            Huft!! Adrian sighed to see Felicia crying. “Stop letting out those crocodile tears! I will not be fooled a second time!”

            “Cih!! You know?” Felicia's tears instantly dried up and the look on her face instantly turned into an annoyed face.

            Adrian walked back, when he saw the door of Felicia's house open. “You may be a woman, but you are a cunning and perverted woman. Women like you are women I should beware of!”

            “You're coming, son??” Mr. Gumilar immediately greeted Adrian when Adrian entered the house.

            “Yes, Sir. I came.”

            “Because you said you came about Felicia, you should have come because you have met her and intend to ask for an explanation right??” Mr. Gumilar guesses correctly the reason for Adrian's arrival.

             “Ya, Sir.”

            After inviting Adrian to sit down and drink to come, Mr. Gumilar began to talk about the reasons that brought Adrian to this house.

            “How does my daughter look?” Mr. Gumilar took out his phone and showed me the wallpaper of his phone using a photo of Felicia. “Is his face the same as his photo??”

            Adrian looks at the photo on Mr. Gumilar's phone and compares it to Felicia sitting next to him who now has a sweet-ass face. Hmm!! Adrian was annoyed to see the sweet pretentious face of Felicia. “Still the same, sir. The difference may be that his skin is now paler.”

            “Is my daughter okay??”

            “Eh?” Adrian furrowed his brows at the question. Adrian is confused to answer because there is no right answer to describe whether Felicia is okay. “Should be fine other than his feet that do not tread the ground and prefer to float.”

            “It's good to hear from you, son. To be honest .. I want to be able to see it like you. Unfortunately ... we-me and her mother couldn't see it.”

            Tests, tests. Adrian's hand felt a cold sensation because of Felicia. Adrian glanced at Felicia and saw Felicia crying.

            “What?” felicia asked as she wiped away her tears that had fallen like running water. “This is not a crocodile tear just now. These are really sad tears.”

            Adrian raised his leg slightly. “I know. But your tears are flowing too hard like a leaking faucet.”
