My husband is not the CEO

Fifteen

This morning Caramel asked me to swim in the rooftop pool, from last night he discussed this with me. He said he hadn't been to the waterpark for a long time. It's my last day of vacation so I'll do it when I'm really worried that Caramel will meet his ex-girlfriend, Rama. Now I'm sure Rama also lives in this apartment, even our room next door. The possibility of meeting is very big.

I'm afraid Caramel is back in love with Rama, I know how their story is. Caramel and Rama had a relationship since the 10th grade, it was about 8 years until finally decided to get married. Don't ask me why I don't dare to be in their midst. I knew exactly how Caramel loved Rama, if I suddenly came, Caramel would immediately reject me.

If Caramel falls in love again, ah but they already have a partner each. If that were to happen I would not let Rama take my wife. If Caramel chooses Rama, maybe I'll end my life right then and there.

"It's his sunblock." I thrust sunscreen at Caramel when he got in the room, I just bought the mandatory product before swimming in the Mall ahead there.

"Kok you know I wear this brand?" Caramel. I know a long time ago, ever since we were in High School. Although not knowing each other but I remember until now all about Caramel that I have collected in memory since our first meeting. When Caramel cried under the trembesi tree for fear of the dark. I was fascinated from the first glance at Caramel, the candlelight that hit his face at that moment made me unable to blink. Caramel is so beautiful, I want to look at her for so long. Now I can do that, while he sleeps.

"Of course I know." My reply.

"Cie you've been stalking me all this time?" Caramel teased me, she pointed at my nose with a smile.

"Yes right."

Caramel laughed and sat on the bed to apply sunscreen on her arms and legs. He must have thought I was joking when I never lied, Rama always lied to him so he did not easily believe in others.

"I'm using you here too." Caramel pulled my hand to sit next to her. "What kind of soft hands have you been using lotion all this time?" Caramel traced along my arm with her fingers.

I cleared my throat when I felt choked, "never use lotion."

"I like it." He rubbed the back of my hand.

"Don't be like that."

"Why?" He's seeing.

"It stirs something up."

Caramel immediately took off my hand and moved, she placed the sunscreen on the dresser along with her other make-up tools. I silently smiled looking at the red tinge on his face.

"It's just lust." I heard him grumbling slowly. Isn't it normal for a man like this. He applied another sunscreen to his face.

I walked up to her who was sitting in front of the dresser.

"Why come here?" He looked at me through the mirror. "don't these macems still be morning."

"I just want to see you."

"It's on its own." He put the new sunscreen on me.

"Why not wear it?"

"We will not swim." Keto.

I smiled, Caramel is an amazing and adorable figure that mixes into one.

According to BMKG the weather today is sunny with the highest temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, quite comfortable for swimming. The sky was blue without clouds, the wind was hot on the skin.

There are several other apartment residents who are also in this rooftop pool. My eyes scrutinize all corners, if there is Rama I will immediately take Caramel away.

"Bak, who yesterday helped me pursue Ara yes."

A woman approached us, she was also wearing a wet swimsuit.

"Oh, yes." Caramel nodded, "we haven't had time to get acquainted." He extended a hand.

"I'm Adena, call me Dena." The woman named Adena shook Caramel's hand.

"I'm Caramel, this is my husband Rafka." Caramel took my hand.

I just put on a thin smile without shaking her hand. I don't want us to be familiar with him.

"I live in unit 206." Said.

"Oh yeah? we're in 208." Caramel smiled brightly, as if she was happy to meet this new neighbor. "Your son's name is so pretty, Ara."

Isn't that like the name of a Malay-language female cartoon character who is often watched by Zico.

"Yes, it's a combination of Papa's name and mine."

"That's interesting."

"Let's swim right away, before the sun gets too high." Take me to Caramel.

"We'll excuse Dena, it's okay to call Dena like we're the same age."

"It doesn't matter, see you again." He walked out of the pool.

I threw myself first followed by Caramel, he smiled broadly hugging my neck.

"His son, long time no play in the pool." Said. "Let's test our swimming speed, the loser has to cook for lunch."

"If you lose, I'll buy you a meal at Pizza Hut."

We went up to the edge of the pool and got ready to throw ourselves in the count of three. Looks like I'm going to lose because as far as I know Caramel was good at swimming since childhood.

The byurr!

We threw ourselves together into the pool, Caramel swam agilely not far in front of me. I smelled pizza because Caramel was getting further and passed me almost to the edge of the pool.

About two seconds after he climbed to the edge of the pool, I was able to catch up with him.

"Yeay eat pizza!" He strangled while jumping.

I'm on the ride, "don't jump, your feet are wet." My word.

Caramel immediately stopped his activity, he sat on the edge of the pool with his legs hanging. I sat beside her, admiring Caramel's beauty up close. Her pigtailed black hair was now wet, I used to only be able to see it from afar. Now that we're even this close, if it's a dream I'll never wake up.

"Today Danu wants to come here, we'll have dinner with you."

"Only by yourself?" Caramel.

"The same wife."

"His children aren't invited?"

"No."

"Eh, let's take a photo." Caramel stood up, walking towards the table where we put the bathrobe there. He returned with a cell phone in his hand.

"For what?"

"Make it posted to Instagram." He held up his phone in front of us. "Smile Ka."

I smiled, he managed to get some photos with various poses while my facial expression did not change.

"What's your Instagram account name let me tag."

"I don't have."

"What!" She chanted, "you don't have Instagram in 2020, my goodness, you're so rare." He rubbed my cheek. "Let's make it on your phone."

"So much Caramel."

"Photoin me yes." Caramel gave me her phone.

Caramel threw himself back, he swam leisurely to the middle of the pool. Caramel is so friendly with water, she can soak in the bathtub for two hours. I don't know what he did that long ago at the bathub.

I took some of his photos from the back, only visible head and half back against the background of the sky and skyscrapers. Don't doubt my ability to take photos, I love to take pictures but weather analysis is my passion.

******

Pizza Hut restaurant Grand Indonesia branch is quite crowded at lunchtime, during this time only about 3 or 4 times I eat here. While Caramel said he was a child of fast food and real instant food, he said he grew up with the two types of food.

Danu and his wife came after 5 minutes we were waiting for him. Without wasting any more time, we ordered Regular Meat Lovers with crown crust, Beef Spaghetti, and Chicken Wings and Pepsi Cola to drink it.

"One more, Personal Pepperoni Jalapeno with cheessy crust." Tukas Caramel when the waitress was about to leave our table.

"Well, the order will come after fifteen minutes." He said before it passed.

"Kok the kids aren't invited?" Caramel saw Danu and Indi.

"Yes again the same Oma all mbak." Answer Indi.

"Is Indi younger than me?" Caramel whispers.

I nodded, as far as I could Indi is 25 years old now. Every time he celebrates his wife's birthday, Danu always invites me so it's natural that I know her age now.

"Do you want a salad?" Ask Caramel.

"No need, we've missed a lot." Indi refused, tumben Danu did not speak.

"You want a salad, right?" Now Caramel sees me. "I'll take it if I want."

"Can." I'm nodding.

"Wait a minute." He headed to the salad bar.

"I didn't think instant coconut milk could be a good wife for you." Danu's voice came out after there was no Caramel, you coward.

"It was not in vain that I waited for him for a very long time." My reply.

"But he doesn't know you're waiting for him to get caught in a gini."

"Udah Mas, do not be discussed continue to pity Mas Rafka." Tegur Indi, she is indeed a prayer wife who always reminds her husband when wrong. If there's no Indi, Danu I'm more spicy than bullying me.

Caramel came back with a bowl of vegetable salad, apparently she knew that I really liked vegetables.

"Indi, your highlighter is very good," Tukas Caramel, his gaze pointed at Indi. What's more, I had absolutely no idea about the highlighter he was talking about. "What brand?"

Indi turned his back before smiling widely, "this is Ma'am's benefit."

"I also like to wear it, but now it's males make-up." Caramel smiled broadly revealing her neat rows of teeth. My wife is beautiful even without make-up. "I usually wear the Watts Up."

"It's also Benefit Watts Up."

"Other times make-up shopping with yuk."

"By Mommy."

"Prepare your ATM balance is empty." Timpal Danu and look towards me.

"Gue has never been shopping for make-up using her ATM," Caramel sewot. "if you want a beautiful wife, you have to capital dong Bang!"

I held my smile, Danu diomeli Caramel finished. Danu don't know what my wife is like.

Our order came, the debate between Caramel and Danu automatically stopped because the presence of a large enough pizza that looks so tempting. Topping chicken meat is so abundant gives off a distinctive aroma of uplifting tastes.

"This is Rafka's deal, right?" Danu looked at me for a moment before starting to pluck the first piece of pizza.

"Good thing your wife is good, otherwise I'll have you pay for yourself." Caramel is still sewot.

"Such a fuss, again your PMS."

Caramel did not answer because her mouth was full of pizza.

"What is PMS?" I looked at Danu and Caramel alternately but no one answered. Danu grinned while Caramel glared, what did the two different expressions mean. Indi was also silent, he ate pizza with calm.

It seems like I started getting a lot of new vocabulary after getting married to Caramel, I always find out every word I didn't understand from him.

I saw Caramel agitated after finishing a slice of pizza and almost two pieces of chicken wings, he put down a piece of wing that he had bitten a little bit.

"Why?" I held his arm. "Let's eat again."

Caramel shook his head, he wiped away the sweat that ran down his temple but the surface of his skin was extremely cold.

"I finished this one." I took the wings of the chicken that Caramel did not spend, he answered with a nod.

"Mom!" Caramel raises her hand to one of the waitresses, "ask her bill yes."

"Well, a minute." The waitress left our table, I wiped my hands with a tissue after finishing the Caramel chicken just now.

"I'm back first." Caramel moved, her face pale to panic. I was about to hold it but waitress came with our meal bill.

"Why is your wife?" Ask Danu.

"I don't know either." I gave cash to that waitress.

"What's pregnant?" Indi chattered suddenly.

"We've only been married for two days, why so soon?" I was surprised what the pregnancy process was so fast. That's IPA lessons, where I know.

"Who knows if you've been mourning for a month PDKT."

"What tube?" I'm getting confused.

"Hus Mas Danu can't talk that way." Indi covered Danu's mouth with his hands.

"Yes, I'm afraid he fainted on the street, the food was paid for." Danu kicked me out by shaking off the chicken she was holding.

"Thank you for our treat, tell me the same as Mbak Cara." Timpal Indi, this one is much more polite and Danu.

"Yes, I'm ahead." I left those who continued to eat the rest of the food. I ran down the escalator but Caramel was nowhere to be seen, so quickly he disappeared. It turns out that in addition to swimming, he also seems to have a talent for running fast.

Rafka rushed to the busway followed by Danu, there were several empty seats. They chose a chair right behind Caramel and his two friends. Since the incident Caramel crying under the tree, Rafka always felt curious about the 10th-grade girl.

Danu as a loyal friend, always tail Rafka wherever she goes. Given this is the first time Rafka has fallen in love, Danu is determined to always be ready to help when Rafka is in trouble.

"We bought sunblock." The voice of Jane sitting in the middle of Kayla and Caramel.

"Why the hell we have to wear sunblock as expensive as that, it's a lot of cheap." Kayla protested, as a student she objected to buying expensive products.

"Hot Ancol, we have to use a good sunblock so as not to burn, so far I know a good sunblock is just Cetaphil."

"Are you endorsed by Cetaphil?" Kayla scooped Caramel's dull face from the sport.

"Aamiin, may it be hastened." Caramel looked up at Kayla's words.

Rafka noted the name of the sunblock product that Caramel mentioned just now, he always brought a small book to record important things like now. Rafka believes that one day he needs this to help Caramel.
