My husband is not the CEO

Seventeen

"Rafka!"

Caramel's voice woke me up plus something was on top of my stomach, slowly I opened my eyes because it was difficult to breathe.

"Rafka's awake!"

"Umm ... Why, what's wrong?" I opened my eyes next door, it turned out that something that made it hard to breathe was Caramel, he went up into my stomach. Wh why? what am I wrong? I'm just sleeping.

"Why do you let me sleep on a night when the movie is not finished yet." Caramel pressed both of my cheeks, she clenched her teeth furiously.

"Down first, let me talk." I said.

I heaved a sigh of relief as Caramel came down from my stomach, she had many ways to punish me. Why would he get angry if he overslept last night while watching a movie, I just forgot who went to bed first.

"Let's watch it again." I lifted my body, sat leaning on the end of the bed. Caramel bent her lips, funny especially her messy hair due to waking up. It makes me reluctant to go to work, if I could take a longer leave like Caramel.

"Why are you so good!" Caramel hugged me, suddenly crying. Just now he was angry now crying, what a woman always like this when the moon is coming.

I rubbed her long hair that was limited to her back and held a smile, her attitude was like a seventeen-year-old teenage girl. Just so you know Cara, I don't want to go to work either.

"Ka?" Call Caramel.

"Yes?"

"Aren't you in love with me?"

What question is that? I fell in love 12 years ago when I first met him. Does my attitude not show all that? that 10-year wait has proved enough how much I love Caramel.

"Why ask that?"

"Because you haven't said that."

"What love is to be expressed, not enough with my attitude and treatment of you all this time?"

Caramel lifted her head and took off her arms, "because you know girls need the expression of love from their partners, every day."

"I ask when I don't know, does a woman ask when she already knows?"

Caramel's mouth was open to say something and then closed again, "that's it, I want to wash my face continue to cook afraid you are late for work." He got out of bed to the bathroom.

Caramel closed the bathroom door hard enough to make me jump in shock. Apparently Caramel was no longer afraid to be alone in the bathroom, usually he left the door open.

I hurried to get my bed and some leftover food packs done last night. I don't remember who slept between us first.

"I've ironed some shirts, I don't know which one you want to wear." Caramel came out of the bathroom, she tucked her long hair and put on a headband. "Bathletic school." He said before leaving the room.

Actually Caramel is considerate but he does not want to show it blatantly, he has a high sense of prestige.

No more Source Ayu soap in the bathroom, surely Caramel has thrown it away. Next time I will read again when using the product. But sometimes I don't understand all the products arranged on the bathroom shelf, most of them Caramel's.

Today I have to go to work, which means Caramel will be alone here. I hope he doesn't leave the apartment too long, I'm afraid he'll meet with Rama. Although they'll meet later but at least I'll be near Caramel when it happens.

"Rafka, I'm wearing a packaged barbeque sauce, is that okay?" Caramel is arranging vegetables into a food box, he has already put the meat that has been roasted and mashed potato.

"It's okay." I smiled, the instant noodles that I usually avoid the most I can eat for Caramel. "Why did you put all the meat in?" I approached him.

"Emang why? you're not dieting anymore, are you?" Caramel was busy composing chickpeas that had been boiled over carrots and corn.

"We have to divide it into two." I took a knife and a fork to cut the meat.

"Hey!" Caramel held my hand, "I've arranged it to be beautiful, don't spoil it." Said.

"What do you eat when all the meat is put in my food box?"

"I eat oatmeal." He took the knife and fork in my hand and put it back down. "Am I ate three packs of potato chips so today I want to have oatmeal breakfast with fruit."

"Is there a special rule for that?"

Caramel sizzled, "i don't want to get fat."

"You're thin enough."

"Oh yeah?" He tilted his head to look at me, his eyes glittering with pleasure.

"Yes, I never lie." My firmness.

"Okay, I believe it but all the meat's still for you." He closed the food box. "Bring the box back, don't lose it, it's worth a month of electricity."

I turn my back on why the food box should be that expensive. There are many who have a reasonable price why Caramel chose an expensive one. Of course, he always used expensive things.

"I'll drive you to the lobby." Caramel put the box in a paper bag and gave it to me. "Your skin looks brighter if you wear blue gini batik." He confirmed my collar and rubbed my shoulder a few times.

"No, you'll be back here alone." I rubbed his cheek for a moment.

"Jane and Kayla will be here, will you?" He looked up at me.

"Can." My hand went down to my arm and rubbed it back.

"Usually a husband kisses his wife if she wants to go to work." Caramel made me stop, I thought he didn't want to be kissed. I was afraid of mistreating him, he was always quick to change in a matter of seconds. It could be that if I was about to kiss her, she would dodge. I just don't want to get a rejection from Caramel.

I peeked at the old Caramel's forehead, then pulled him into my arms. I've never felt this heavy to go to work.

"I stink of smoke, don't let your clothes stink for long." Caramel took off the link between us.

"That's no problem." I hugged Caramel. No one will comment on the smell of my clothes in the office. "I love you." Before stepping into the private elevator, I saw Caramel's face gawking and blushing. What kind of thing does a wife want?

"What is the enchanting way at night?" Danu's voice was very disturbing from earlier, even though I was making a weather forecast diagram in the next month.

"He dazzles day and night." Answer me.

"Hm?" I turned to her, "you really thought we were doing that before marriage, unfortunately no, she's coming months."

"Oh, so yesterday was really PMS." Danu mangosteen, I refocused on the computer screen in front of me. "Next time buy me again."

I just glanced at Danu without answering her, the chatter is so insignificant. It's just a waste of my time.

My phone is clinking short, a message from Caramel. He sent her a picture with Jane and Kayla, I just saw a movie that was delayed last night.

My faint smile expands at the message from Caramel, he was still wearing the same pajamas when I left for work earlier.

I haven't had a shower, just relax I'll take a shower before you go home.

One more message followed, Caramel seemed to know what I was thinking. I just typed in a reply message for Caramel but one message came back in.

Don't come home late!

How is this, he is fiercely not very adorable and makes me fall in love for the umpteenth time. If anyone says love will wear off with time, it won't happen to me.

"Early in 2021 there will be rain in most parts of Indonesia." Danu.

"Yes." Yeah." I nodded, "most areas are orange to red that have the potential to produce cumolonimbus clouds, but there is a possibility of virga." I touched the computer screen in front of Danu with a ballpoint pen. The display displays the state of the cloud through satellite imagery.

"The possibility of clouds evaporating before falling is very small, there may be rain, wind accompanied by lightning and high waves."

I put my phone back next to my computer and replied to Caramel's message, after all I'll be home in less than 10 minutes.

"We have to make sure again and make a high wave warning before the end of the year."

"We have plenty of time." Danu patted my shoulder.

Analyzing long-term weather is not easy, although it is still mid-2020 but there is no time to relax. Given the beginning of the year, it was Caramel's birthday, January 12. We can finally celebrate together.

"I'm home." I got out of my seat and took out some paper and put it in my bag.

"Basar newlyweds, rush to the house, rasain if you already have children, in the office stress especially at home." Danu grumbled but I ignored her. I walked out of the room with quick steps.

Of course I can't wait until home, there's my beautiful wife waiting there. No matter how smelly the smoke or the expensive perfume, I always miss it.

"Well, why forget." I stopped opening the car door when I realized that my food box was left in there. If I don't bring him in safely, Caramel can nag incessantly. To make matters worse, he didn't feed me or tell me to finish off a super spicy instant noodle that would numb my tongue.

"Why come back?" Ask Danu when I get in.

"My food box is left behind." I grabbed the paper bag under the table.

"I never want to be carried like that Indi, if lost can be told to sleep outside know not."

"Oh yeah?" I'm surprised, this is just a food box why you should punish your husband by sleeping outside.

"Indi followed the flow of goods like that, out of millions."

"Oh." I passed by leaving Danu, if he stays here he will tell me more and not let me go home.

The rain was getting thicker as my car drove slowly splitting the streets of Jakarta which was never deserted by vehicles. The rain further added to the traffic jam this afternoon, as usual they honked many times when it was no use at all.

The ringing tone of my phone was heard in the rain, I put the airpods in my left ear and pressed the green icon on the phone screen.

"I'm in the bathroom, Jane and Kayla are home." Caramel sound accompanied by the sound of water from the shower.

"You still scared?"

"I'm almost done."

"Ten minutes to go."

"Okay, don't hang up."

Surely Caramel was still afraid to take a bath alone so he called me. Plus he just watched a horror movie, hopefully later tonight he can sleep soundly without thinking about the film.

Caramel was silent, only the sound of water then silent. Then the door sounds open.

"Outside the rain, I just found out."

"Yes, it looks like the next week it's going to rain like this." I slightly glanced at the side window, seeing the rushing rain that soaked the glass. "You want something, let me buy it."

"No, I ate a lot this afternoon, Jane brought two boxes of KFC, I cooked soup for dinner."

"Oh yeah? I can't wait to try." I gulped at the thought of Caramel-made soup, this kind of rain was indeed the best to eat with something fruitful.

My car entered the Kempinski area, greeted by three skyscrapers that include Kempinski apartments and hotels, Caramel's dream luxury residence is indeed located in a strategic area. Once out, the residents of Kempinski will get whatever they want.

"I got to the basement." I grabbed my phone and got out of the car.

"I'm down ya."

"Why come down, I've arrived."

"That's why I'm gonna pick you up in the lobby, I'm in the elevator."

I sighed, he should have been waiting for me inside our unit.

"You're using a private elevator, right?"

Silent. Caramel didn't answer my question.

"How come, you're still there? Cara, Caramel!" I stepped out of the basement to the lobby. "Caramel, answer me!" My heart was beating so fast as it was about to jump from its face.

"Ohhhh!" Caramel shouted and then heard the sound of falling objects. Caramel's phone fell on the floor.
