Chapter 58 - Bored
"No, don't cry baby. I am here. You're safe now," Oscar hugged his wife tighter. The man landed a warm kiss on Lisa's head. He still felt guilty for his mother's ill treatment of Lisa.
Oscar often went out of town on duty recently. He hardly had time to pay attention to his wife when he was not at home. It also made the man feel guilty.
"I'm sorry Lisa. This is all my fault, I didn't know Mama would come and meet you. I'm also sorry, I never told you about Mama before," Oscar's face looked sad and gloomy. His emotions were very mixed. He did not know what to do to make his wife's heart cheerful as usual again.
Lisa didn't expect Oscar to apologize for her mother's mistreatment. She understood that what her abusive mother-in-law did had nothing to do with Oscar. Greta was Greta and Oscar was Oscar. Oscar shouldn't blame himself!
Lisa closed her lips and glared at her husband. "It's okay Oscar, don't blame yourself. My problem with your mother is none of your business,"
Oscar laid down Lisa's limp body and invited her to sleep. Tonight had been a bad night for the two of them.

The next morning, Oscar returned to work as usual at Petersson Communications. Today, he would come home later than usual since there was an invitation to a meeting with the insurance company that worked with him.
Oscar told Lisa to take a day off because she was pregnant and her mental state was not good. Lisa knew skipping work too often was not good for her career, but Oscar had promised to fully support Lisa. Especially when she was already pregnant for 3 month. Lisa needed a lot of rest! It couldn't be helped, Lisa must obey her husband so that she didn't get a punishment like three months ago at Parahyangan Resort.
His black Alphard car pulled over at the entrance. Oscar said goodbye to Lisa by landing a kiss on his wife's forehead.
On the day of truancy, Lisa was really tired of sleeping and lay in bed all day. She wanted to find other activities that would help her refresh her foggy mind as a result of last night's incident.
Lisa then decided to hang around the house. She was looking for something to do instead of sitting in the room like a dead worm.
"What if I just sweep it?" The woman took a broom belonging to Mrs. Rusminah which was placed in the kitchen. She could only clean the house at this time.
When she was about to sweep, Mrs. Rusminah saw her and tried to stop Lisa. "Oh miss, just rest, let me sweep! It is my duty to take care of this house. Miss Lisa will be tired, sorry it's the best for the baby,"
"It's okay Mrs. Rusminah, I'm tired of sleeping in the room! Don't worry, I'm not sweeping too hard," Lisa said to Mrs. Rusminah.
Before she moved into Oscar's mansion, she did all the housework herself. Washing clothes, sweeping floors, washing dishes, all she did with her mother and younger sister. Currently, Lisa really couldn't stand still. She wanted to move!
Lisa hadn't done house chores in a long time. She had thought that she would not do housework in her new house because someone already took care of it. But the fact was that it was very difficult to change her old habits. Sometimes, she missed all the housework that she used to do until she was boring.
Mrs. Rusminah couldn't bear to see Oscar's wife doing homework that she shouldn't have done. The middle aged woman then grabbed Lisa's arm and stopped her.
"I'm sorry Miss, but please don't bother. It's my job to take care of this house! Please just sit in the family room while watching TV or whatever. Anyway, Miss Lisa can't be too tired! You'll pass out later..."
Losing to Mrs. Rusminah's suggestion, Lisa put the broom on the edge of the room. Mrs. Rusminah then took the broom and returned to her job as housekeeper.
Lisa landed on the sofa. She snorted in annoyance at the boredom that hit her hard. She took out the cellphone from the pocket of her sleep pants. She took the initiative to send an instant message to Oscar, who seemed to be busy at work.
'Hello Oscar'
'Bored'
'Geez'
'What should we do?'
Three minutes later, Oscar replied to her message.
'Just rest already! I'm busy meeting with the president of the insurance company!'
Lisa read Oscar's message with a slight chuckle. The man still had time to reply to the insignificant message in the middle of the meeting!
Lisa yawned because she was tired of staying at home. If Oscar had allowed her to work today, she wouldn't have been this boring!
Lisa did nothing throughout the day but sent repeated messages to her husband who was busy at the office. Lisa was in the mood to prank her husband in the office. Thinking of it as revenge because Oscar rarely texted her while he was out of town yesterday.
At the office, Oscar was distracted by the constant messages from Lisa. Even though the phone was on vibrate mode, it's still annoying! The man then took out his cell phone and made a call to Lisa.
Lisa was shocked when her cell phone rang loudly. She read the screen of her cell phone with squinting eyes. Oscar! It was unexpected that her husband would call her. With a pounding heart, Lisa picked up the call.
"Oscar Petersson's residence, how can I help you?"
"Lisa please! I am busy. Leave me alone during work hours!" The man's voice sounded annoyed even though it was flat.
"But I'm bored at home. Why can't you let me work today?"
The man took a deep breath. "Lisa, remember you argued with Mama yesterday. I know your heart is not doing well. Just take a break, pity our children later!"
"But I'm so booooooooooooored," Lisa replied long.
The man was silent for a moment. He was annoyed with his wife. His break time would end soon and the meeting would continue.
"I think I have to take you on vacations abroad!" Oscar said from across the cell phone. He changed the way he spoke to be more relaxed.
"Really!? Are you serious?" Lisa's pupils opened wide. Did she hear what her husband said correctly?
"Yes, we will go straight tomorrow! Don't forget to prepare your things at home, so you won't get bored!" Oscar explained.
"Are you lying?"
"No, I'm not lying Lisa!"
Lisa screamed happily at her husband's invitation. After not seeing Oscar at home for a long time, she would be invited to vacate abroad tomorrow. The good thing being a rich man's wife, she thought!
"So where are you going tomorrow? Paris? Barcelona? Come on, tell me!"
"In the meantime, you shouldn't know! This is a surprise honey!"
Lisa snorted when she heard her husband say that. "Ah, it's not cool, Oscar!"
"Yes, you can start packing up today. I'll tell you after work. Don't forget to eat and rest so that your mind and body will be refreshed tomorrow morning!"
Lisa said yes to her husband and hung up. Her heart was pounding, she couldn't wait to go on vacation abroad!
"Hmm, what kind of clothes should I bring?"
