The Secret of the Fierce Ex Wife

The sun had just emerged from the eastern horizon, illuminating the campus with its soft golden light. However, for Aulia, a final semester student who was busy completing her thesis, that day felt very gray. Behind his anxiety and tiredness in facing guidance, there is a big secret that he keeps neatly—a secret that even his close friends don't know, let alone other people on campus.

Aulia is the wife of a lecturer who is known as a fierce and very disciplined figure on campus. The lecturer was named Pak Bima, a man in his 40s who was firm and uncompromising in academic matters. In his daily life, Mr. Bima always appears serious, with a face that rarely shows a smile, except when correcting student assignments that he considers unsatisfactory. However, behind her fierce attitude, there is a soft side that only Aulia knows.

That morning, Aulia was sitting in the campus cafeteria, checking her guidance notes while waiting for Mr. Bima to come to the lecturer's room. His heart pounded every time he remembered their meeting. They must always keep their distance on campus, pretending they don't know each other as more than just lecturers and students. Their relationship is a big secret that must not be revealed, because it could damage Mr. Bima's career and also Aulia's future.

Unexpected Encounter

When the clock struck eight, Aulia immediately walked towards the lecturer's room with fast steps. Every time she passes a busy campus corridor, Aulia always feels anxious, afraid that someone will suspect something. He entered the lecturer's room with a tense face, said hello to several lecturers who were present, then took a seat in front of Mr. Bima's table.

Mr. Bima, who had just arrived, glanced at Aulia before finally opening his laptop without saying anything. The atmosphere in the lecturer's room was quiet, only the sound of keyboard typing and paper rustling could be heard.

After a while, Mr. Bima finally spoke in a low, but firm tone.

"How many times have I told you, Aulia? You have to be more careful in writing data analysis. I don't want to see any more mistakes in this revision," said Mr. Bima, while still looking at his laptop screen.

Aulia looked down, trying to hold back her feelings of shame and sadness. "Yes, sir. I will be more careful."

Even though Mr. Bima spoke in such a cold tone, Aulia knew that her husband was just keeping his distance and didn't want to arouse suspicion. After giving some additional instructions, Mr. Bima ended their guidance session briefly.

"We'll discuss it again next week. Don't be late."

Aulia nodded obediently, then left with a heavy heart. After leaving the lecturer's room, Aulia took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. Outside, he could act as usual, but in his heart, there was an ongoing emotional struggle.
