40 The Devil is Jealous

Marva saw something different in Rei's room. This large room looks quiet. What is less than this room? Marva was trying to figure out what was lacking.

Books ....

No more books filled Rei's desk or bed.

All the books have been put in cardboard boxes without any leftovers.

"Aren't you studying?"

"I'm graduating."

"You didn't study for college?"

"I'm not excited, I'm pregnant anyway. If you go to college, next year you can. You're definitely not gonna let me go to college right now, are you?"

I don't know why Marva felt such an annoyed tone from Rei's words.

Rei was careless, either because of the pregnancy hormones, or because he was tired of continuing to be in this mansion without having any reason to go outside, because he had already graduated from school.

Good restaurant food tasted bland in his mouth.

"Rei, it's auntie make you a rujak for you."

"Well, thank you, Bi."

Rei enthusiastically ate the rujak. Only bi Tuti the person in this mansion understood him. When Rei had no appetite, he knew best what to do. Enough to give him simple food, no need to be luxurious let alone expensive.

"Your feet are a little swollen, come on auntie pijitin."

"Don't, Bi. Then let Rei alone massage him with oil. Aunt just take a break."

Rei walked into his room, sitting on the sofa while occasionally twitching his legs slowly.

Freya, I'm graduating now. Sorry that until now I have not been able to repay all your kindness.

...****************...

Rei went to the kitchen, tonight it feels like he really wants to eat seafood fried rice. He began to process the ingredients, it felt impatient to enjoy the food that he thought was very luxurious.

In the past, when he was still with his grandmother, if cooking fried rice at most he only gave a little soy sauce and salt without any other spices, let alone eggs or chicken.

If he receives a salary, he will buy eggs so that his grandmother does not get tired of eating that food. Things might be better if his grandmother is not sickly and must be treated regularly.

But Rei never complained, he never got tired of taking care of his grandmother, because he knew what his grandmother was doing for him much bigger.

Daydreaming about his past, Rei accidentally nudges a hot frying pan.

"Aw!"

"Aren't you okay?"

"Sister Marva?"

"Here, let me carry on."

Marva continued what Rei was working on, only to enter the ingredients because the seasoning had also been made by Rei.

"It!"

Marva put the fried rice in front of Rei.

"Other times if you want to eat, say the same to me. Don't go into the kitchen by yourself."

"I don't feel good if I have to wake Brother Marva and disturb Brother Viola."

Marva sighed. Although Rei did not say much, but he was able to draw conclusions from Rei's words.

The next night

"From today on I'll sleep in Rei's room."

"But why?"

"I want to take good care of Rei. What if she needs something at night or something happens to her?"

"Loh, can't do that, dong."

Viola did not accept what Marva would do.

"You have to be fair" he continued.

"Vi, currently Rei is pregnant with my child, what harm do I take care of her during her pregnancy. I want to be a standby husband. If anything happens to him and his womb, will you be responsible because you forbid me to take care of him? You dare to face grandfather's anger?"

Viola was speechless, he could not say anything if he had come into contact with Frans.

Marva went straight to Rei's room, seeing that his second wife was asleep. The rubbing of Rei's stomach that felt slightly protruding.

"Kids are healthy fathers, yes."

......................

Rei was bored, he wanted to go for a walk but what was allowed? Inviting Marva is impossible, because the man who has the status of her husband is at work. If not working, Rei also did not want to invite him because he did not want to get involved in a dispute with the first wife.

"Rei?"

"Sister Marva's home yet?"

"Where are you going, brother?"

"I'm taking you for a walk."

"Correct, Brother?"

"Yes, I'll take a shower."

Rei immediately smiled happily, that smile looking beautiful in Marva's eyes.

Rei immediately changed his clothes with a white dress patterned with orange flowers.

Marva came out of the bathroom and saw Rei who was done getting ready. The man then wore the clothes that had been prepared by Marva.

Their clothes look good. Orange T-shirt with white collar and white pants. I don't know why Marva seems to like it. Honestly, Rei did not know much about Marva. What her hobbies, her likes, and so on, but every outfit that Rei chose for her, she always liked. All the dishes made by Rei, he liked very much.

"Come on!"

They're heading for the living room.

"Where are you going?"

"I want to take Rei for a walk, Cake."

"How about causing trouble again?"

"Grandfather, we are also married, not cheating. All this time aside from going to school, Rei had always been in the mansion. Grandpa just needs entertainment, let alone Rei who is pregnant. Grandpa wants Rei to stress out and get into trouble with the contents? The doctor also said he shouldn't be depressed."

"Yes, the foot can go outside."

"We're leaving, Cake."

The newly dropped Viola saw their departure.

"Where are they going, Cake?"

"Street around."

Again I was not invited.

"Where are we going, brother?"

"Eat first, yeah. What do you want to eat?"

"Hm, what is it? I'm confused too. It's up to Marva, deh."

"Soto, will?"

"You."

Marva smiles. Usually women if asked and said it was up to, it was the turn of the man who chose but instead did not like. According to what he said before.

They arrived at the soto stall which was quite crowded.

"Mom, soto two goats, yeah."

"What's it drinking, Den?"

"Es two oranges."

Not long after the order came. Marva and Rei ate quietly.

"You want to add?" marva asked when she saw that Rei's food was over.

"No, Brother. Later if I want to eat again, I said with Sister Marva, can you?"

"Okay, you just say you want to eat something."

They continued their walk.

"We're going to the mall, yeah."

Rei nodded, his heart feeling happy about being able to get out of the mansion.

About thirty-five minutes later they arrived at the mall. Marva immediately invited Rei to the clothing area. He bought Rei pregnant clothes. Marca is free to choose because she and Rei wear masks.

"Your stomach will definitely grow quickly, so it's best to have some preparation."

While choosing, Marva held Rei's hand. Not for fear of being lost or possessive, but he knew that Rei felt awkward being in the mall that was reserved for the upper class.

Choosing the needs of pregnant women turned out to be fun for Marva. She was suddenly like a woman-lover shop. Not only clothes, Marva also bought shoes and sandals that are comfortable for pregnant women to use.

After being satisfied with Rei's needs, they are now into baby gear.

"Don't buy it now, brother."

"Why?"

"It's still a long time since he was born, we don't know his gender. If you buy now, there will be a new model will be willing to buy again, dear."

This time it was Marva who nodded. Actually it doesn't matter if he has to buy again, the money is a lot. It was just that he wanted to appreciate Rei who had been used to living frugally.

"Let's get a couple shirt!" bring Marva.

Couple dress? I could be as quiet as Viola again, because he's possessed by a jealous demon.
