Forced Mate

Our Daughter's

Alex landed a brief kiss on Ayu's forehead, then got up first to finish the hajat in the bathroom. Ayu who was left alone in the bed wriggling uneasily, she still wanted to lie down and be hugged. He kept mumbling incoherently, maybe calling Alex.

"What's wrong?" ask Alex who just has to get out of the bathroom.

Ayu got up and sat down with her hair still in disarray. His hands were stretched out while pursing his lips.

"Seek a hug!" say Ayu with spoiled.

Alex stretches her neck, before climbing onto the bed and giving Ayu a hug. He smiled at Ayu, then kissed the woman's forehead again.

"You're getting spoiled." One hand Alex stroked Ayu's cheek.

"I told you, I like your body odor."

"Pregnancy effects?"

Ayu nodded in agreement.

"What do you want for breakfast?" ask Alex who is still hugging Ayu.

"Mother must have fried the rice" Ayu said.

"You can't eat too much white rice," forbid Alex, "no wheat bread?"

"There, mom likes to eat whole wheat bread as a snack" Ayu replied.

Alex kissed Ayu's cheek, then got out of bed and went to prepare breakfast for his wife.

"You mother asked, said I'm not feeling well anymore, baby," pinta Ayu winked at Alex.

Alex smiled as he lifted a thumb at Ayu. He went out and went down into the kitchen. There is Arini who has prepared breakfast assisted by Ira and Dita who is seen just holding Zahra.

"For Mom, Ma'am!" greet Alex who was answered by the three women kindly.

"Your wife isn't awake?" ask Arini.

"He's not feeling well anymore, Mom."

"That kid!" hiss Arini sneered at her temple, "luck is not my man. You slackers!" his nag.

Arini does not understand why she can have a daughter as lazy as Ayu. Look at Ira and Dita, once they could not do anything, but Arini taught them well.

"He's sick again, Mom!" bela Alex's.

"Huh, you're spoiling Ayu too much. She's always the reason for not feeling well, not changing!"

Alex just smiled a little, as well as Ira and Dita. He continued making sandwiches for Ayu. The bread was given jam and cut the fruit in it.

"Who's that for?" Ira asked to see Alex's bread.

"Make Ayu," Alex replied, "Will you?"

"No," Ira replies, "I just found out Ayu likes breakfast bread."

"Well, he eats anything, which is strange if the bread is enough," said Arini again.

"Ih, Alex does not like it when Ayu is fat, so he prepared a healthy diet menu," said Dita.

"Well, that's good!" praise Arini, "he must keep eating, so he can be healthy. Every morning I don't feel well!"

"I'll go upstairs first, Mom. Ayu is hungry," said Alex throw away finished making a glass of milk and breakfast for Ayu.

Arini could only shake her head at the behavior of her daughter. He looked at his two daughters-in-law in turn.

"Ra, ask your sister, it's not good to be too spoiled. She'll hear you, same mother who heard."

"Yes, it's okay, Mom, Alex also seems to like Manjain Ayu. I'm Dad," said Dita, "yes, Zahra, baby?" Dita chatting with the baby. Zahra immediately laughed in return.

"Ih, Zahra seems to agree" Ira said.

Arini just shook her head. Both of his daughters-in-law were the same, they always defended Ayu. She is not unhappy if Ayu is loved, but as a mother she wants Ayu to be independent because there are times where Ayu must be able to rely on herself.

"Well pay first, ma'am, there's work." Ayu shakes her mother's hand.

Alex also shakes Arini's hand, then turns to Dwiki. He waved a glance at Zahra who was laughing.

After saying goodbye, they boarded a car and headed back to one of Ayu's shops. He should come over soon to monitor the audit, he won't be in. Just monitoring from the outside, because he wanted to make sure of himself.

When Ayu works, Alex chooses to hang out at one of the cafes next to the restaurant where Ayu. There he enjoys coffee while playing one of the online pianos. He waited long enough, and was getting bored. Fortunately, Ayu came just as he was about to catch up.

"Sorry, I'm old, huh?" said Ayu who had taken her place in front of Alex.

"Would you like a drink?"

Ayu shakes.

"How result?

"Good, then Tidka needs another accountability report, right?"

"Still, but a little," Ayu replied, "let's go home?"

"We have to go shopping, I see your stock has been reduced" Alex suggested.

Ayu did not want to go shopping, after all the food was reduced in the refrigerator because the two gave it to Bu Ina. Just the number of times he cooked in a week, it was just an omelet, easier.

"I'm tired, I have to rest" Ayu refused.

Alex complies and returns to Ayu's house at the woman's request. It was lunchtime, so Alex was again busy in the kitchen. Ayu had approached and was intending to help, but she was nauseous smelling Alex's food scent. Be, Ayu sat sweetly while waiting for the food.

Ayu had eaten a salad made by Alex. The man said he needed to eat at least five times because it needed a lot of nutrition. Before cooking Alex reminded Ayu that pregnant women should eat foods with twice the nutritional content of usual.

"Darling, let's eat!" alex shouted from inside.

Ayu placed the HP on the table, then walked towards the dining table. There is a variety of food there. She wondered to herself how Alex could cook all that food. If only he had not seen the man preparing the groceries, he would have denied that the food was ordered.

At first, Ayu wants to pick up the food herself, but is held back by Alex. According to Alex, Ayu's portion of the meal should be balanced.

"It!" Alex put a plate of food containing brown rice in a fist, with a serving of vegetable soup with contents; broccoli, chickpeas, carrots, and more cauliflower. On the plate was also chicken and white tofu.

"You can't eat a lot of fried food! Boiled or steamed food is healthier" Alex said.

"I don't like brown rice, Lex!" Ayu grumbled at the contents of the plate.

"Darling, this is also for you and our son. Anyway, I'm sure you only eat brown rice as long as I'm here" Alex said.

Ayu stirred her food with pursed lips. She likes the rough texture of red rice. If it is rice, white rice is the best.

"You want to be bribed?" tany Alex who saw Ayu just stirred up the food.

Ayu shook her head without looking at Alex.

"Living healthy should be, baby!"

Alex who could not bear to see Ayu sulking closer his seat to the woman. He took over Ayu's plate and spoon.

"A!" Alex offers a bribe to Ayu. Want to not want Ayu to obey.

"I didn't give you much spice on purpose, you didn't like the spice smell, did you?" said Alex.

Ayu just nodded. He looked like a child who had difficulty eating so he had to be forced to open his mouth. According to the book read by Alex, it is the husband's job to ensure the intake of a pregnant wife is met.

Lunch is over, Alex has finished cleaning the dining table. Ayu intends to help, but Alex forbids it. He did not want Ayu to be exhausted.

"Darling, need something?" asked Alex who was sitting next to Ayu in the living room.

Ayu shakes. He leaned directly on Alex's arm as soon as the ellaki sat down. She's actually not feeling well with all Alex's treatment of her. The man pampered her too much, she liked it, but after all Alex was an outsider to her.

"I got some nicotine, huh?" ask Ayu.

"No, Darling!" Alex clasped Ayu's hand, "i'm happy to do so much for you. I feel so useful and needed."

Ayu chuckled, then replied, "you are indeed versatile that way."

Alex laughed too. He did not care how Ayu called it, maybe it was the ego of a man so hated if his partner depended on others.

"Oh yes, I've prepared a name for our son," Ayu said excitedly.

"Oh, huh?"

"Aleeya, pretty, right?"

Kening Ayu wrinkled. "That's a girl's name."

Alex nodded.

"If it's a man, how?" ask Ayu confused. He certainly did not give the name of his son who is the gender with the name Aleeya.

"I have a feeling that our daughter is a girl" I'm Alex, "we're going to have a beautiful little princess like you." Alex stroked Ayu's stomach.

"Nonsense?" pekik Ayu, "you want to hang our son's name from the hunch."

Alex who caught the anger in every word Ayu immediately calmed down, "alright, if our son is a boy, you give the name."

Ayu nodded in agreement. He was trying to think of a good name for a boy. He wanted to name it with the letter 'A' at the beginning, just like me and Alex.

"I don't know what a good name," I'm Ayu who's been thinking hard, but hasn't found a single name to match.

"Good, then think of our daughter as a girl" exclaimed Alex, "my beautiful daughter!" He stroked, then kissed Ayu's stomach.

Ayu relented, she did not care about men knowing women, as long as her child was born healthy. Seeing Alex as enthusiastic and happy as he is now has been so much fun.
