Throughout the day Ayu wanders around Orchard Road, buying some things she likes. When else could he shop that much without having to work. Only use Alex's card. Regretting marrying Alex disappears instantly.
"This one's pretty, huh?" Cleo pointed to one of the red mini bags while they were in an Italian fashion house.
Ayu nodded in agreement. He had just picked up two bags that were priced quite fantastically. If you take the bag again, chances are Alex's eyes will widen or it could come out because the price is not half-hearted. Not to mention, he also bought one for Cleo earlier.
"Later your boss gets mad if I shop too much."
Cleo shook her head. "No, Mr. Alex, if money matters are loyal. Especially my own wife. Ask for everything to be given, really."
"Ah, the hell time? Does Alex like to buy things for his ex, too, huh?"
"Yes, that's the most interesting of the Bosses. Love to share the money," Cleo said.
Initially, Ayu intended to go home quickly because Alex could not bear the hassles of taking care of Aleeya himself. However, hearing Cleo's confession made her high in blood. Alex deserves to be punished. Let the man face the fussiness of Aeleya, after all he is also his son. Once in a while Alex day knew that taking care of the baby was not easy.
All day long Ayu shopping. Buy clothes, jewelry, and bags. Anyway, today she's gonna make Alex cry looking at her credit card bill. It's okay, he's sure Alex won't fall poor just because of Ayu's groceries.
Cleo's car was stuffed. Ayu is like a fidelity when shopping. If Alex dares to be angry, he'll be pinned to his head. He would nag the man if he dared to reckon. The same time the ex-boyfriend is often given a gift, the wife herself is not. Just yummy.
"I help bring it," Cleo bargained when she saw Ayu's distress. "What about Mr. Boss' expression, how do you see your groceries?" kekeh Cleo's. He had to go in to make sure of his boss' shocked face.
The apartment door has been opened by Ayu. As soon as he entered, it appeared that Alex was holding Aleeya. He ran and stuck the baby forward on his back, as if the child was a plane-treatment..
The paper bag in Ayu's hand just fell down. "Alex!" pekik Ayy.
Alex stops and instantly pulls Aleeya's petite body in a cuddle. The baby is still laughing. His hands and feet swayed merrily.
"You're nothing!" Aleeya hits Alex on the shoulder. He forcefully took Aleeya from the man's sling. Staring sharply full of emotion. "You know the baby's organs are still weak."
Alex pursed his lips. He just stared at Aleeya who was also staring at him. The baby's hand continued to point at his father while blabbing indistinctly. Alex kept winking at Aleeya, hoping the beautiful baby understood that it was time to shut up.
"Sir Boss, I'll go home first" said Cleo who from earlier was just watching.
Alex gave a small nod and turned again to Ayu who kept nagging.
"Review yes, if Aeleya until weeping later tonight. What's more until the kayak habit was floated earlier!" Ayu hits Alex's arm again. "My shopping was brought in!" ask Ayu garang.
Alex's eyes were just fixed on the groceries that I don't know how much. It's hard to get down as soon as you see the brand of those things. In fact, just yesterday he had intended to skimp on the future of Aeleya and her younger siblings in the future. In this case, he had to work rods in order to meet the needs of his extravagant wife.

Alex ran small towards his unit. He opened the door with a package in his hand. He stopped at the supermarket at Ayu's request. The meat in the fridge was empty, so he stopped by to buy it.
They have not been shopping together since Aeleya's birth. To be precise, the baby had never left the house other than to Jakarta first.
"Darling!" call Alex as soon as you get inside the house. The man did not find Ayu outside, either in the middle house or in the kitchen. That means the girl is in the room.
After saving the groceries, Alex ran to the room. She hummed, "Well, my dear wife."
Ayu hissed as Alex entered the room. Her index finger was on the lips, giving a sign that her husband did not make a fuss. She had just put Aleeya to sleep, so she did not want the baby to wake up.
Alex gives a kiss on Ayu's cheek and hugs for a while, before going into the bathroom. He felt so angry that he decided to take a shower.
Ayu was busy cleaning the meat and preparing some tools for her to use to make rendang. He got a prescription from Arini this afternoon. Alex loves steak and doesn't like white rice. So, he decided to make steak with special rendang seasoning for Alex.
"Want me to help you?" hail Alex whose hair is still damp after bathing.
"Live in the blender directly."
Ayu just nodded. He started cutting the meat wide. They started cooking together as usual. Sometimes Alex steals Ayu's cheek kiss, then giggles and continues to stir the seasoning she sauteed.
Meanwhile, Alex is busy with rendang which he says will be cooked by Ayu. The woman began boiling vegetables for them to eat with rendang. Sounds strange, but the steak-shaped rendang they will eat with boiled potatoes, carrots, and chickpeas.
Alex's gaze alternated from rendang to Ayu. He looked at the woman who looked serious. Who would have thought that spoiled fellow could be that serious. This past week, Ayu seemed to incarnate someone else. Women are more friendly, gentle, and considerate. He felt their marriage was getting more beautiful.
Two plates of steak rendang on the table. Alex and Ayu were ready to eat the food. However, suddenly a crying voice sounded from the room. Ayu immediately stepped up, had held back Alex who was about to advance.
Alex sits in a chair waiting for Ayu to arrive. He immediately smiled at his son and his newly arrived wife.
"Daddy's son has woken up" said Alex, who had grabbed Aleeya. The baby was silent, he continued to chattering typical baby that added to his cuteness.
"Or if there's good food," joked Alex after peeping Aleeya's puffed cheek.
"Let me bribe, huh?" haggun Ayu started cutting meat.
"really? Usually you're the one who asks for a bribe."
"Can replace." Ayu feeds Alex with large pieces of meat, then followed by potatoes and vegetables. After, bribing Alex, then she feeds herself. So it continues until two portions of food are lost. Meanwhile, Aeleya started to fidget in Alex's lap.
"He's hungry" Alex said. His gaze turned to Aleeya. "Wait a minute, son. Mommy drink first."
That night Alex and Ayu had a long conversation. Meanwhile, Aeleya was engrossed alone in their midst. The baby spoke on the sidelines of his parents' conversation.
"Little kids can't hear" said Ayu closing Aleeya's ear as Alex began teasing her.
"If Aleeya's asleep, you can, right?"
"I'm tired. Tomorrow," Ayu replies, causing Alex to strangle.
"Aleeya, though, would love to have a sister, so she can play together."
Ayu rolled her eyeballs. Aeleya was only a few months old and Alex had asked Ayu to get pregnant again. Said the guy actually he wanted an eleven boy, but maybe too much. The most suitable number of children is five.
However, Alex's intention to have five children is blocked when he sees Ayu in pain during childbirth. The final decision is to have three children whose age is only a year adrift of each child.
According to Alex, having children with close age is for her children to play together, grow together, be happy together.
"Enak. You are pregnant, mingelirin, breastfeeding, and grow your own. One thing I've almost gone crazy, eating is hard."
"We can hire a baby sitter later, honey. Just imagine in our house there will be three cute toddlers." Alex's gaze muddied imagining his three children who later ran around cheerfully. The smile on his face was wide, revealing his teeth.
Ayu joined in, but her expression was very different from Alex's. He shuddered in horror at the thought of three equally large children running around, scattering things, crying, fighting, and many more typical delinquencies of other toddlers. He still remembers how hard Ira was when Tara and Lara were kids.
"No!" ayu's strangulation made Aeleya flinch. The baby started to whine, his lips came forward wanting to cry. It was fortunate that Alex immediately patted the baby's thigh and invited him to chat.
"Why you?" alex asked as Ayu glared sharply at him.
"There are no rations for you until I see an obstetrician," Ayu turned around.
