"M-gold.." Call Ayunda lirih. I don't know tonight her stomach feels uncomfortable and what can make her stomach comfortable is her husband's rub.
Actually, she felt bad to wake her husband up. She knew that her husband must be exhausted, but the feeling in his stomach was really uncomfortable. So, inevitably she had to ask her husband for help so that the discomfort in her stomach was a little more relieved.
"Mas.." call Ayunda again, keep Narendra awake from his sleep. The man looked at the wife who seemed to be moving uncomfortably in place. His forehead appears to be sweating, probably from enduring the pain.
"What's wrong with you, baby?" Ask Narendra and turn on the lights on the nightstand, making the room a little bright. Since it was common for both of them to sleep in a dim state, there was only a small lamp in the corner of the room.
"My stomach hurts, Mom. Not very comfortable, can you ask for a swab, Mas?" Pinta Ayunda to her husband.
"For eating meatballs earlier, which. Pedes right?"
"No, it doesn't matter. It's clear, just use a little sauce."
"Well, why, baby?"
"I don't know, it's not very comfortable. Swab dong, huh?" Pinta Ayunda's.
"Of course, baby." Answer Narendra. He hugged his wife and kissed her forehead with a friendly, then began rubbing the wife's distended stomach gently.
"Baby sister why? Don't bother Mama, don't make Mama sick. Kasian Mama, later lack of rest you know.." Narendra said, right in front of his wife's stomach. Not to forget, Naren kissed the wife's distended stomach.
"I'm sorry, Mas. Your rest is so annoying because of me.."
"Father, baby. It's only natural that if you want to be rubbed like this, I'm your husband." Narendra replied with a sweet smile. The man kissed his wife again.
"It's lucky that I have you as a husband, Mas."
"Other than me, baby. I'm more fortunate to have a best companion for you." Narendra replied with a smile. He continued to rub his wife's distended stomach and sure enough, the pain and discomfort in his stomach gradually disappeared. It no longer hurts, even replaced by a sense of comfort that makes both eyes sleepy.
Naren smiled slightly when he saw the wife who had fallen asleep soundly, he again kissed the wife's forehead. There was never any bored Naren to kiss whatever was on his wife's face, for him everything was always beautiful and he always wanted to kiss all parts of her face at any time.
"Good sleep, my dear wife. Ilove you.." Whisper Narendra, then turn off the lights and go back to sleep hugging his wife.
The next morning, I woke up first. Today she has a schedule of pregnant gymnastics with pregnant women in the housing complex, of course, she is accompanied by her mother-in-law. How could Melisa possibly leave her daughter-in-law alone? He would always follow wherever his daughter-in-law went.
"Wake up, who?" Narendra asked when he saw his wife had woken up and was now opening the window so that fresh air in the morning could enter the room. Today, Narendra will also not go to the office. He applied for leave today, his excuse? Trivial, he wants to accompany his wife pregnant gymnastics, even though her gymnastics during the day.
"It's dong, Mas. You don't work?" Ask Ayunda. He looks neat by using his knee-length negligee, he also took a shower early this morning. Last night, they were absent from the husband and wife ritual because Naren was exhausted after working all day.
"Aahh's holiday, tired."
"Dihh, the CEO of this malesan gini how are your employees?"
"If my employees are clearly must be diligent dong, if not his salary I cut." Narendra replied with a small smile.
"But, they're modeled on the behavior of their superiors, Mas."
"Once a doang, which. I'm tired, hehe. Tomorrow I go back to the office, today I want to take you to the gym, which is." Answer Narendra.
"It's just gymnastics doang, Mas. I'll go with Mommy."
"So I want to see."
"Ckk, yaudah it's up to you." Pasrah Ayunda's. Either way, she won't win if she argues with her husband.
"Hehe, honey, have a shower?"
"Well, it's shampooing." Ayunda answered while showing her wet hair after shampooing.
"When it was malem we didn't know ya.."
"Indeed her shampooing when it's over anu doang huh?" Ask Ayunda with a frowning forehead.
"No, but we didn't last night. How about.."
"Nothing, Mom. It's morning and I have to go to gymnastics, I haven't cooked yet either. Don't macem-macem you are.."
"Come, baby. Last night we didn't.."
"Jaudah, later on go home gymnastics or later malem aja anu. There's still plenty of time, Mommy." Ayunda's reply made Narendra pout. His lips were pursed like a duck's beak.
"Not funny, Mom. Take a shower, I'll cook." Ayunda's speech made Narendra move from his seat while stomping his legs because his mode upset did not apply this morning.
"There is a behavior, already want to be a father also just gemesin.." murmured Ayunda, he went out of the room and saw there was already Melisa in the kitchen cooking.
Ayunda hugged her mother-in-law from behind as usual, making Melisa smile. He was no longer surprised and could already guess who did it, who else if not his favorite son-in-law. If there used to be her husband who often did it, then now there is Ayunda who often sagged in her arms. He did not mind at all, instead he liked Ayunda's spoiled behavior.
"Good morning, Mami." said Ayunda as she kissed the mother-in-law's right cheek.
"By the back, baby." Reply Melisa while smiling.
"What cooking, Mommy?"
"Actually Mami is confused, so Mami just cook fried squid flour later in the flush sauce that is it."
"Well I want fish, can I?"
"Can, baby. There's still fish stock in the fridge, cook it." Melisa replied, making Ayunda smile and then back to steal a spoiled kiss on Melisa's left cheek.
Adam and Darren who saw the interaction of closeness in-laws and compact daughter-in-law shared their sweet smile. The two were no longer awkward to interact like this, they already looked like mother and son. Anyone would not think that Ayunda turned out to be Melisa's daughter-in-law so close they both.
"I'm thrilled to see Ayunda smiling so sweetly again, a smile I haven't seen since she lost her parents." Adam looked at Darren.
"Now, he had both parents complete. Melisa and Arvin both love Ayunda. They think of Ayunda as their own son, don't worry. Your niece will be fine here with us. You stay here too, accompany your nephew. With this, you'll see Ayunda every day." Darren.
"Yes, I am so grateful to have been allowed to stay in this house with you."
"Why not? You're our family, too." Darren replied with a small smile, the middle-aged man sipped his black coffee, while Adam drank his milk, he could not drink coffee even though he wanted to. If he is reckless, the one with his stomach will hurt wrapped around later.
"Where's your husband, baby?" Asked Arvino who had just walked into the kitchen with his flat face. As usual, Arvin is flat-faced. To the extent that Adam thought that Arvin did not like him because of his facial expression, but after a few days living in this house, he came to know that Naren's face was like that.
"Still in the room, Pi. Ayu told me to take a shower, but I didn't know if she was upset or not." Answer Ayunda.
"Tumben, isn't it working?"
"She wanted to leave, tired, he said." Ayunda's reply made Arvino nod his head in understanding. He's not going to force his son to work hard at the company, after all, the company is important but Naren's health is much more important. If his son was already complaining of being tired, it meant that he was already completely tired.
"Hmm, yeah."
"Darling, so will it be gymnastics?" Melisa asked Ayunda.
"So, Mi. But he said Mas Naren wanted to join the nganter as well."
"Well? Your husband will be surrounded by Rempong mothers. You're willing to be her?" Melisa's question made Ayunda frown.
"Arounded by mothers?"
"Yes, the name of the gymnastics place for pregnant women is definitely a lot of mothers, dear."
"Ohh, is that it? Well, Ayu will not permit Mas Naren to follow that, not willing later Ayu's assets held-hold." Ayunda replied expressing her jealousy, making Melisa chuckle.
"Yaudah, it carefully fried her fish later her oil splashed. Before the fish is entered sprinkle the flour first so it is not too splashing yes, dear."
"Yes, Mommy." Answer Ayunda. She also did according to the instructions given by her mother-in-law, she cooked her fish until cooked and crisp. Not to forget, Ayunda also made the sambal angry and then placed on it.
"It smells so good, what's my wife cooking?" Ask Narendra who just came out of the room and went straight to everyone. He walked leisurely while putting both of his hands in his pants pocket.
"The gurame sambel matah, Mas."
"Wihh, tuh mantep. I want to eat now it tastes, really laper."
"So soon, the rice hasn't been this mateng." Ayunda. The rice is not yet ripe, so you have to wait first.
"Do you want coffee, Mom?"
"May, don't use sugar.." Pinta Narendra's. Ayunda nodded her head, she did like black coffee without sugar. He likes his bitter taste.
It did not take long, a cup of black coffee that was still steaming was presented before his eyes. Ayunda smiled as she placed the coffee in front of her husband.
"Thank you, baby."
"Yes, you're both." Answer Ayunda. She went back to cooking with her mother-in-law.
"Uncle.." Call Naren, make Adam who was cool to daydream look surprised.
"E-eehh, yes.."
"Don't daydream, what's wrong?" Ask Naren again.
"Nothing is."
"Look, Naren is planning to transfer her aunt to the hospital tomorrow. What about Uncle?" Ask Narendra.
"Tomorrow? Isn't that too fast, son?"
"Of course not, Uncle. So that you can meet often, maybe then Aunt will recover quickly." Naren replied with a smile.
"Thank you, son."
"Sama-sama, but I'm sorry. Yesterday there was a file that had to be signed by the patient's health care provider, Naren did not tell Uncle in the office he usually forgot, hehe. It was Naren who signed, right?"
"Of course it's okay, son. Thank you for taking great care of my uncle and aunt."
"Yes together, you're also our family." Naren replied with a small smile. Adam feels a strong family in this house, even he who is still a stranger here but they are so respectful and appreciative.
They don't discriminate, they treat him the same. Should he be grateful for all this? He's just a stranger, but gets this kind of treatment. Right, he should be very grateful for this.
"Uncle, how about this day's off too?" Narendra.
"But Uncle just entered a few days, what other employees said later.."
"It's okay, don't pay too much attention to other people's words. Uncle works in his own family company." Narendra.
"But that doesn't mean Uncle can work as he pleases."
"I like uncle's spirit at work, but it's really okay. Take a break today and accompany Grandpa to play chess. Kasian Grandpa, because there are no co-stars. There's Papi losing all the time, let alone me." Narendra answered making the four men laugh together. But in reality, neither Arvin nor Naren can beat Darren in terms of playing chess.
