My husband is not the CEO

"Pa, how'd old Mama go to the toilet?" Narel patted Rafka's thigh.

"Do you guys want to pick up Mama in the toilet?" Rafka saw her two children who had finished eating and drank a glass of warm milk. They wanted to swing right after the meal but since Caramel didn't come, Narel and Binar had to pick up their mom in the toilet.

"Be careful, baby, don't run." Rafka warns the twins who like to run for caution because the road here is slippery.

Narel and Binar saw Caramel standing in front of the toilet but not alone, there was a man standing in front of Caramel.

"Mama!" Binar shouted to his mother, and he pulled Narel's hand to run with him to Caramel.

"Nobody's talking about it, I'm leaving first, I hope we never see each other again even if we don't accidentally meet me please act as if we don't know each other."

Narel and Binar hugged Caramel's thigh. They saw Caramel and a man standing not far from them.

"He who's Ma?" Binar asked Caramel, he had never seen the man's face before.

"Nobody." Caramel shook his head faintly not wanting to introduce Rama to his children, he did not want to deal with Rama anymore.

"You're twins, wasn't it your son or your second son?" Rama did not care about Caramel's words, he was only curious about Caramel's life while he was in prison.

"Please don't ask me anything else." Tukas Caramel with great emphasis on every word. He pulled Narel and Binar out of there.

Narel and Binar were silent even though they were still curious about who the figure of the man who had just spoken to his mother. But seeing Caramel's angry face they did not dare to ask again.

Along the way home Caramel kept silent while closing his eyes even though Rafka was sure the wife was not sleeping. Rafka feels Caramel is a little weird since returning from the toilet. Caramel said she wanted to go home because she wasn't feeling well. But Rafka felt Caramel was not only not feeling well. Mood Caramel is in trouble too. Although Rafka could not fully dive into Caramel's heart but at a time like this he did not want to disturb the woman. Caramel will tell you what happened why he suddenly wanted to go home and kept quiet all the way.

"Narel and Binar have promised Oma and Opa to stay at their home after returning from Bandung." Rafka sees the twins in the back seat who just woke up.

"We didn't forget Pa." Narel replied, They were taught to keep their promises and not to lie.

"But we have to go back to the apartment first, Papa anterin later to Oma Opa's house."

"Okay pa." Narel and Binar cried compactly then they immediately closed their mouths after remembering that Caramel was sleeping. Rafka laughs at the behavior of her children from the upper spy.

Caramel opened her eyes after the car stopped in the parking lot of the apartment, she saw Rafka surrounding the car and opened the door for her then the back door. Caramel came down followed by children who looked tired after traveling quite far from Bandung.

"Mom should hold Narel and me." Binar grabbed Caramel's right hand while Narel held his other hand as they exited the parking area while Rafka carried their belongings used during yesterday's camper.

"Why?" Caramel smiled faintly at Narel and Binar's attention to him, they had such sensitive feelings that without Caramel saying anything they would know that his condition was not okay.

"Later Mama passed out." Narel looked up at Caramel.

"Keep if Mama really fainted how?"

"Me and Narel will hold Mama back from falling."

Caramel laughed, eager to bite their cheeks that looked reddish because the weather this morning was quite sunny. Although Caramel has done that repeatedly but he will never be satisfied to bite the cheek of Narel and Binar because every day there are only their behavior that makes him anxious.

"Narel and Binar clean up first keep changing clothes." Tell Rafka when she gets to their apartment unit. Rafka put down the things she was carrying.

"Yes Pa." The twins run into their room to clean themselves and change clothes according to Rafka's directions.

"You want something to drink let me make it." Rafka touched Caramel's back.

"I want to sleep."

"okay." Rafka guided Caramel into the room, she could see Caramel's tired and pale face after breakfast. "You must have caught a cold." Rafka confirmed the position of the pillow before Caramel put his head there. He touched Caramel's warm forehead and raised the blanket to the waist.

"I met Rama."

Rafka's hand that was about to take the AC remote stopped immediately hearing the name. Caramel's behavior has been unusual since returning from the toilet. Why hasn't Caramel told me since they were there. If not, Rafka had beaten Rama because he still dared to show himself in front of Caramel. It is also true, more than 5 years since Rama was arrested.

"She just said I'm sorry, so she won't bother me anymore, I'm so right because I don't want to deal with that person anymore."

Rafka rubbed Caramel's hair, "it looks like we have to move out of here, I don't want Rama to suddenly come here even though he said he wouldn't bother you." Rafka does not want to take the risk if Rama suddenly comes here to disturb Caramel. Why 5 years feels so fast, it feels like just yesterday Rafka beat Rama all out after seeing with his own eyes when the man abused Caramel.

Caramel closed her eyes nodding faintly, she lost her energy after vomiting so now Caramel just wanted to sleep.

"Things like that won't happen again, I promise." Rafka peeks at Caramel's forehead, knowing Caramel's feelings now that she has met Rama, who is her biggest trauma so far. "You rest first I prepare food and take medicine."

"Thank you dear." Caramel's voice is hoarse, he almost moved into the dream world if Rafka does not speak.

Rafka steps into Narel and Binar's room to make sure that they are done cleaning themselves and changing clothes. Caramel arranges their clothes in their respective closets for the next week making it easier for them to change their own clothes.

"Narel Binar." Rafka calls the twins as she steps into the bathroom, she glances to see them playing soap bubbles using shampoo instead of bathing. "Papa says shower is not play." Rafka nodded at their behavior. "Papa bathe ya."

Rafka lifts Narel and Binar under the shower to bathe them. Otherwise they will just play around in the bathroom until later.

"In the meantime you already want to go to school, if Papa or Mama says you have to take a shower do not play games let alone play water, can catch wind like Mama."

They just laughed at Rafka's nagging. Facing children do have to be extra patient because they will not directly obey the orders of their parents. But if they are not given direction they will get the wrong way. It is the duty of parents to always direct children.

After the shower, they change their clothes. Rafka helps to comb their hair. Rafka pinched Binar's long hair like a ponytail. It was the easiest type of pigtail for Rafka.

Caramel's eyes are heavy to open but his back feels sore maybe because of too long sleep. Caramel looked towards the brown curtains that had been covered. That means it's night, Caramel is kebo he can sleep all day without waking up in the slightest.

"Papa." Caramel glanced around looking for Rafka's figure. He inched down from the bed to the bathroom but Rafka was not there. He smelled margarine and fried eggs, it looks like Rafka is making eggs.

"Where are the kids?" Caramel hugs her back and kisses Rafka's neck no matter if Rafka will smell bad because she hasn't had a bath all day.

"Udah was picked up by Mom and Dad earlier." Rafka flips the egg over the frying pan and moves it to the plate before the charred.

"Cok you didn't wake up?"

"Narel and Binar were already saying goodbye but you didn't wake up, they could understand that his mother was not feeling well."

"They're good as you." Caramel immersed his face in Rafka's back, he stuck like gelatin to make it difficult for Rafka to move.

"Let's eat baby, you haven't eaten anything since." Rafka turns to see his wife who suddenly acts spoiled when there are no children.

Caramel pursed her mouth, "do I smell?"

"No."

"You don't want to be hugged?"

Rafka held a smile, look at the women who always draw such absurd conclusions. As when Caramel asked for permission to buy new shoes, Rafka would say that many Caramel shoes are still not used better buy other items. Then Caramel will tell him that Rafka doesn't love him anymore. From which Caramel concluded that should not buy shoes with no affection anymore. Even if he thinks about it, Rafka will not understand.

"You want to." Rafka pulls Caramel into his arms rubbing his wife's back to make her calm and not angry anymore. "You're coming to the moon?" Ask, because women will be angry unclear when the moon is coming.

"Let's eat." Caramel breaks away from Rafka's arms instead of answering her husband's questions.

In addition to the cow's eggs Caramel also saw there was meat soup and soy sauce sambal at the dinner table. Rafka is very skilled at cooking.

"After this you should take medicine."

"No, I'm good." Sleeping all day makes Caramel's body so much better that he doesn't need medication. "Thank you for cooking this much."

After eating Caramel immediately clean up because his body feels sticky due to not bathing from yesterday. Caramel lights an aromatherapy candle before soaking in a bathtub filled with warm water and soap.
