I Want to Be Loved

Cravings

“So my wife is really pregnant, Doc?” ask Gio.

“According to lab results and tests with pregnancy test kits do prove if your wife is really pregnant. His age is about to enter the week to 5.” explained Dr. Marisa.

“So I really nyidam?” ask Gio again.

“It seems so,” replied Doctor Marisa.

“How can, my pregnant wife and my cravings,” asked Gio again.

“What in the medical world there is such a thing,” grumbled Gio.

“Yeah, you're limp like this but still chatty too,” taunts Mariana.

Everyone chuckled at the ridicule Mariana made towards Gio.

“Can only. Many people say if his wife is pregnant but her husband who craves it is a sign that her husband loves his wife,” explained Doctor Marisa.

“How long will my husband be like this, Doc?” ask Flora.

“Maybe for 3 months or can also be more,” replied Doctor Marisa.

“What? That long?” Gio held his head which suddenly felt heavy. “Do I have to stop loving my wife so that I stop cravings,” complained Gio.

“Stop being silly like that, Gio.” Mariana is Gio's head.

“I'm not the silly one, but the Doctor. He said I love my wife too much so I'm like this,” Gio said.

“It's okay you're like this. Try to imagine if Flora who experienced this, you do not feel sorry for her,” said Mariana.

“Iya, aunty,” says Gio.

“Yang sincerely, you do not want to enjoy the delicious game,” ledek Mariana again.

Everyone's laughter exploded in the room.

“Alright, Ms. Flora,” call Doctor Mariana. “I've written some vitamins for you. Later ask someone to redeem it.”

Flora received a paper inscribed with some vitamins for herself. “Thank you, Doc.”

“Let me make up for it.” Daniel took over the prescription paper written by Doctor Marisa.

“Alright, I'll excuse you first,” says Doctor Marisa.

Doctor Marisa comes out with the nurse and also Daniel who will penetrate the vitamins for Flora.

“Thank God, everything is fine,” said Seruni.

“Gio, you already know if your wife is pregnant. Take good care of her,” Mariana's message.

“How do you take care of Flora, Auntie? I'm again like this.” Gio showed an infusion needle stuck in his wrist.

“Reason only. You have to do dong business, how to take care of your wife as your child candidate,” said Mariana.

“Iya, my dear Tante,” said Gio.

“Basic brat,” taunts Mariana.

Seruni and Flora who saw that were only able to shake their heads and smile thinly.

“Mother, Aunt ... You go home. I'll keep Gio here,” tell Flora.

“Can you be alone?” ask Seruni.

“Can, Mom. After all Gio is not sick, just cravings,” Flora said.

“Alright, but if something happens you have to directly notify us,” said Seruni.

“Good, Mom,” said Flora.

Seruni and Mariana were still sitting in Gio's inpatient room, waiting for Daniel and then they would go home.

Not long after, Daniel returned with vitamins for Flora.

“It's your vitamins.” Daniel gave a plastic bag containing some vitamins to Flora.

“Thank you, Daniel,” said Flora.

“Sama-sama,” reply Daniel.

“Here home,” expel Gio.

“If I don't want to go home, how?” ledek Daniel's.

“Daniel,” Excite Flora, Mariana, and Seruni simultaneously.

“You don't keep teasing your sister. Pity her,” said Mariana. “Usually people crave that feeling is very sensitive,” continued Mariana.

Gio snorted in annoyance, Mariana's speech sounded like a plunge in her ear.

“All right we go home first. Keep your condition well,” order Seruni.

Flora nodded, “Good, Bu.”

Flora escorts Daniel, Seruni, and Mariana out of her husband's hospital room. After they all came home, Flora went back into the room.

“Have felt better?” ask Flora.

Flora stepped over to where her husband was lying.

“Still a little limp,” replied Gio.

“Ck, this you,” decak Flora.

“I told them to go home because I didn't want them to know what you were doing to me if you were going to sleep. Shame when they find out,” said Flora.

“Sleep here.” Gio patted the side.

“Narrow,” says Flora.

“Good dong, so we can hold on,” said Gio.

“Search for opportunities in narrowness yes.” Flora pulled Gio's nose from feeling anxious.

Flora sat on the edge of the bed, her hands moving rubbing her husband's forehead, her eyes looking at her husband's pale face.

“Why? Why look at me like that?” ask Gio.

The two beads of Gio and Flora's eyes looked at each other. There was a feeling within that husband that they were expressing in that gaze.

“I'm pregnant,” said Flora. “You know what, I was so happy when I saw those two red lines,” Flora said.

“It feels so unbelievable, so soon I was given the confidence to be a mother candidate,” continued Flora.

Flora looked back at Gio, but now Flora looked at Gio with teary eyes.

“Sleep, My dear. If you sit still I can't hold you,” Gio said.

Flora laughed, her husband always could not be taken seriously.

“Good.” Flora spread her body beside her husband.

After Flora had laid down her body, Gio slid his face into the intersection of his wife's neck, inhaling his wife's usual body odor. His hands moved to rub his wife's stomach.

“I was even so happy when I heard it, that I didn't know how to express that happiness,” Flora said.

“Thank you for this happiness, My dear,” continued Gio.

Flora nodded, “Thank you too.”

“I just remembered the oddities that happened with you or myself lately,” said Flora. “I didn't realize it was signs if I was pregnant.”

“What's it?” ask Gio.

“You are behind this so often eat, ask for the weird, spoiled, and like a child,” said Flora.

“And I ..” Flora thought for a moment, she thought back to what was the strangeness that happened to her. “You know Gio? Before I didn't like orange juice at all, but lately I've been wanting it a lot,” Flora said.

“And I feel the nausea,” added Gio.

Flora and Gio laughed together.

“What cravings are so excruciating like this?” ask Gio.

Flora nodded, “Iya, there is even worse than this. You are still mending, can still be angry.”

Gio bit Flora on the neck when he heard the ridicule of his wife.

“Stop mocking me, don't you feel sorry for me who is like this,” whine Gio.

“Alright, forgive me. I'm so happy to tease you,” Flora said.

“I will finish you off if you dare to tease me again,” threatened Gio and Flora just responded with a thin smile.

“My darling, I want to eat something?” said Gio.

“What do you want to eat?” ask Flora.

“You,” sloth Gio.

Flora's eyes widened upon hearing her husband's request. Flora also immediately gave a pinch to Gio's stomach.

“Awww!” peekkik Gio's. “It hurts,” whine Gio.

“Your situation is like this, but you are still thinking perverted,” said Flora.

Flora wanted to get out of bed, but Gio immediately wrapped his hands around Flora's stomach to prevent her from leaving.

“Do not go. I can't sleep if I don't hug you,” Gio said.

Flora finally abandoned her intention to get out of bed.

“Alright, I won't go,” Flora said.

Gio immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“When are we going home?” ask Gio.

“Until your condition improves,” replied Flora.

“Tomorrow we go home yes,” pinta Gio.

“But what about your condition later?” reject Flora.

“I can still endure this nausea, but I can't help but touch you,” Gio said.

Flora rolled her eyes because she was embarrassed by her husband's words.

“Yeah, My Husband.” Flora shook her head while smiling.
