My husband is not the CEO

Thirty Four

"Your face is pale, what's wrong?" Rafka turned her head for a moment at Caramel sitting beside her before returning to focus on the streets.

They were on their way back from Pacific Place, ending the reunion much sooner. Rafka felt something was wrong from Caramel since the woman came out of the toilet.

"What's in the toilet?" Ask Rafka to the point.

"I'm out of Elsa's hair."

"What's wrong?"

"He likes you time!" Caramel's voice rose, he clasped the chair holding back the emotion of remembering Elsa's sentence earlier.

"Then?" Rafka expression flat.

"She said I was pregnant with another guy and kept telling you to take responsibility."

"He said that? what kind of stupid speech is that." Rafka's jaw hardened, he should have taught Elsa a lesson earlier. But Rafka had already taken Caramel away from there, he thought his wife was uncomfortable being in the midst of people he did not know.

Rafka looked at the streets in the back through the rearview mirror, "I have to give her the same calculation."

"Where are we going?" Caramel panics, he doesn't want Rafka to get angry in a public place because of Elsa.

"Udah no need, we just go home, the girl like that is deliberately looking for attention, if you samperin Elsa that means she managed to disturb our household."

Rafka held her breath, as did Caramel. Rafka doesn't care about people insulting her, but when they harass Caramel, he can't take it.

"Sorry." Rafka finally said, he felt guilty for bringing Caramel to the reunion.

"I'm sorry I brought you to meet them."

Caramel shook her head, "i'm okay." His smile grew thin, "again I was the one who invited us to the event, as long as you are not affected by Elsa I must be fine." Caramel puts her head on Rafka's arm, she is afraid that the sexy girl named Elsa is successful in teasing her husband. Ahh, Caramel can't let that happen.

"Even I don't remember ever having a friend named Elsa." Reply Rafka honestly, there is no memorable High School time in his heart except Caramel.

Since High School, Rafka's whole mind has only been on Caramel and his family. Time that makes Rafka happy and flowering at the same time sad. Rafka begins to fall in love with Caramel but at the same time her parents get divorced due to her papa's affair. It makes Rafka very hit, he can not forgive his papa until now.

"But he's got a big chest." Caramel pursed her mouth.

Rafka laughed, why should they talk about the size of someone else's chest.

"I've liked you for twelve years, did your breasts get big?"

Caramel fell silent, Rafka's speech was right. Why should you worry about something uncertain. Caramel should be grateful to have a man as good as Rafka, who loved her for a very long time.

"This is as good as Ms Rudi, would you like to stop by?" Rafka finds an idea to restore Caramel's mood, Danu says seblak is a powerful weapon to conquer women. Rafka is not sure but what's wrong if he tries, they happen to pass Caramel's favorite.

"Can." Caramel nodded, for some reason he felt dizzy and nauseous like a cold. Is it because she's pregnant? but all this time he was fine. Meeting Rama made him nauseous, not just fed up but he really wanted to vomit. Moreover, Rama tried to become a hero parti.

Rafka parked his car on the side of the road, the yard of the stall was not too wide to accommodate the buyer's vehicle.

"You look for a table, let me take it." Pinta Caramel on Rafka, he had to queue with the buyer who first came. Smelling the aroma of gravy and chili evokes the appetite of Caramel. Saliva filled his oral cavity to immediately feel the pleasure of seblak super spicy which became his favorite.

Rafka gets a vacant spot at the very back table, better away from other visitors. Actually Rafka does not like to eat in crowded places like this, he prefers to eat at home with home cooking of course. But for the sake of his wife, Rafka must be willing to get rid of his discomfort.

"Mas, I'm two servings of complete toppings huh." Tukas Caramel to the seller, even though it was named Bu Rudi but almost all of his servants were mas-mas.

"Caramel huh?"

Caramel looked up to hear someone calling her name. Caramel's flat expression instantly changed after seeing Papa Rafka in front of him. This was the first time they had met after the wedding.

"Pa, how are you?" Caramel kissed her in-laws' hands, her tongue a little stiff as she called the middle-aged man papa, "Ma ...." He also greeted stepmom Rafka. Seeing the woman's wife made Caramel so misfocused toward the lips. Until now Caramel is still curious about the brand of lipstick that stepmom Rafka wears. Caramel should have asked him during the marriage contract but he forgot so happy with the moment.

"Well, where's Rafka?"

"There's inside, we're in line to eat some food, too, Papa?"

"Yes, this is Mama Rafka's favorite so Papa stopped by here to buy."

"Mama never likes a little bit." The heavy voice surprised the three people who were busy chatting.

Caramel was surprised by Rafka's arrival, the man came suddenly.

Papa Rafka's smile faded, he was eager to reply Rafka.

"Maybe Papa means Papa's wife's favorite." Rafka's face was cold, as cold as a refrigerator tuned to its coldest temperature.

"You met Papa instead of how news instead of saying kayak gini, your wife's example, she's good with your Papa and stepmom."

Rafka glanced at Caramel then pulled the woman's hand, "i've found a seat, let's go before someone else's."

"We'll excuse Pa, Ma" Caramel said before Rafka pulled him away.

Caramel, according to him, rather than making Rafka angry. Caramel no longer wants to see Rafka angry, it is the most terrible thing besides facing a chatty customer.

"I'm sure Papa has done bad things in the past until you're like him, I'll always wait until you're ready to tell me all the same me." Caramel placed her hand on the back of Rafka's hand, she had to calm the man from anger.

Rafka remembers exactly how the incident that finally made papa and his mother divorced, it happened to coincide with Caramel's birthday. Rafka wasn't ready to tell Caramel.

"Who was caught cheating when I was in High School .... " Rafka's gaze was straight, he could see his father and stepmother were still ahead there. "I remember exactly what happened because it coincided with your birthday."

Caramel's eyebrows slightly raised because he did not expect the bad events that befell Rafka's family to coincide with his birthday.

"I was supposed to do something really important before I came home but suddenly Febi called me crying, she said that Papa and Mama had a big fight."

Caramel tightened his grip on Rafka's hand, he could imagine how panicked Rafka was. Moreover, Febi was still around 15 years old, surely he was very hit.

"I came home sooner than planned, until the house I saw Mama crying while Papa was gone with his affair which is now his wife." Rafka bit her lip, she did not want to remember the incident but she had to tell Caramel.

"Febi told me that Papa said Mama was no longer attractive, she said she didn't love Mama anymore." Rafka looked down, the pain in his heart opened wide again considering Febi as he pleased and told him everything that happened at that time.

"You never have time for me, you're busy going out with your friends, outside of the many women who care about me more."

"Don't make my attitude an excuse, I know you're pregnant with another woman right, you want to marry******you're right!"

"So your mouth, he's so much better than you!"

"Febi remembered exactly what Papa and Mama said back then, she had a strong memory."

"We are both victims of infidelity, although the story is different but I can understand your feelings." Caramel reviews the smile with teary eyes, now she understands why Rafka cannot forgive her papa, just as she cannot forgive Rama at any time.

"I thought a man who cheated could never be faithful, but it turns out that Papa can be loyal to his current wife." Rafka smiled blandly.

"Now that you have me, we have each other to strengthen each other." Caramel said softly, it doesn't look like her. Since her marriage to Rafka, Caramel has had another side that she rarely raises.

Rafka let out a deep breath, and he clasped Caramel's hand with both hands. Her heart felt calm whenever she saw Caramel's beautiful face.

Their order came, two servings of seblak with a wide variety of toppings. For a while Caramel's mind was shifted to seblak which was still emitting smoke.

"I don't like chicken feet." Rafka saw the claw on the bowl without any desire to eat it.

"Put it here." Caramel happily received three plugs from Rafka's bowl.

Mama Rafka said her son was not fussy about food, Caramel did not think it was wrong. Precisely for Caramel, Rafka has a strange appetite. Almost everyone likes to eat instant noodles and claws while Rafka does not like it. But lately Rafka often eat instant noodles outside.

"I'm asking Jane and Kayla to come home, is this Abis?" Caramel sips a distinctive red seblak sauce that has a spicy taste.

"Yes." Yeah." Rafka nodded, he also enjoyed the seblak without being distracted by the sight of the plug on his bowl. Unlike Caramel, Rafka's seblak is not too spicy. Caramel did not want to make her husband cry or go back and forth to the bathroom after eating spicy food.

******

Caramel threw her body on a soft bed, after eating almost two servings of seblak, she became sleepy. Rafka doesn't spend as much as hers so Caramel has to spend it - happily.

"I slept ya." Caramel closed her eyes.

"Aren't Jane and Kayla coming?"

"Loosen your jeans first." Rafka sits on the edge of the bed unbuttoning Caramel jeans.

Caramel is too sleepy to just change clothes when sweat floods her body.

"Is it comfortable to sleep like this?" Ask Rafka.

Naw.

Caramel used to sleep with his mandatory clothes, loose pajamas that became his favorite when at home. But he wants to fall asleep even a little before Jane and Kayla come to bring their soldiers.

"I'll change your clothes."

"Whatever's important don't be anything to me."

"You mean?"

"Don't touch me."

Rafka shook his head as he moved from his seat, what if he did that to his own wife.

"Where do you want the clothes?" Rafka turned to Caramel before he entered the closet.

No answer from Caramel, Rafka smiled as his wife fell asleep so quickly. AC and bed is the perfect combination to release fatigue.

Rafka opens the door to the last closet which is a special place for Caramel and himself.6 top level bedding belongs to Caramel while 2 bottom shelves Rafka nightgown.

"Caramel wears this often." Rafka pulls a pair of pink pajamas with a black ribbon accent on the front of her pants.

Rafka returns to the room to change into Caramel's outfit with a pair of pajamas.

Caramel does not fully sleep when Rafka takes off her pants and blouse. It's just that Caramel is too sleepy and embarrassed to open his eyes. Caramel should pretend to sleep until Rafka is done. Caramel does not believe that replacing disposable is common for married couples. Jane and Kayla never told Caramel that.

The Dynamite song from BTS rang out loud, it was the ringtone of Caramel's recently replaced phone. Caramel's phone ringtone is always different so Rafka can not recognize it. It wasn't Caramel who did it, it was Jane or Kayla's mischievous hands.

Rafka goes to check on the caller, he also brings Caramel's dirty clothes.

"Hello." Rafka starts, it's a call from Jane.

"Ka, I'm the same Kayla in front of your apartment, the game is open!"

"Caramel's sleeping." Rafka glanced at Caramel who had just fallen asleep for a while.

"Certainly? you want me to go home, don't open the door anyway."

Rafka kept the phone away from her ear and disconnected the connection. He snorted angrily put down Caramel's phone and walked into the bathroom putting down Caramel's dirty clothes.

Jane and Kayla fold their hands in front of their chests while trying to peer inside Caramel's apartment but can't.

"Grabbing into the house of the sinner knows!" Kayla slaps Jane's shoulder slowly trying to stop her best friend from peeking at it.

"Dih, sneaking into people's houses rather than the neighbor's gosipin." Jane sneered.

"Sin is mending." Kayla rolled her eyes irritated.

"Rafka where the hell, pardon the Caramel at this hour sleep anyway." Jane leaned against the door just as Rafka opened the door, leaving her almost strung back.

"Oh sorry." Rafka said because it almost made Jane fall.

"Not to apologize, Lebaran is still a long time." Reply Jane.

"Can we come in?" Ask Kayla.

Before Rafka answered the two friends Caramel had already first barged in. Rafka could only shake her head faintly at Jane and Kayla's behavior.

To keep a little manners, Jane and Kayla sit on the living room couch. Though usually they went straight into Caramel's room, but this time they acted a little calm in front of Rafka.

"You're gonna wait till Caramel wakes up?"

Caramel opens her eyes to Rafka's words, thinking Jane and Kayla have arrived. Caramel soon gets out of bed and out of the room before her two best friends get upset and nag Rafka.

"I'm awake." Tukas Caramel with a loud voice.

Rafka turns to see Caramel as well as Jane and Kayla.

"Then I'll go out for a while to buy snacks so you'll be more comfortable chatting." Rafka walks past Caramel.

"Thank you, yeah." Caramel said before Rafka got into the private elevator.

Caramel smiled broadly at Rafka's understanding. Nowadays such a husband is very hard to find. If there is, surely they will be the target of many women so your chances of getting it are very little. But pray that God will give me a kind husband who understands and can fix your bad.

"Sexy very much you abis in the same place as Rafka?" Cetus Jane as Caramel sits between herself and Kayla.

"Lunch like this, what do you want me to do?"

"If you're a newlywed let alone pregnant, usually pregnant women are high enthusiasm."

"Totally, when pregnant Kiara I can three times a day already take medicine." Jane Timpal.

"What the hell are you guys, tickle me with it." Caramel shuddered.

"Yes, your behavior is like a virgin even though it's been an experience of that."

Caramel was silent, the seblak effect that had made his mood rise had now evaporated along with his breath. Caramel recalled the incident, he invited his two friends to meet because he wanted to tell about Elsa in Odysseia earlier.

"Look at your face asem like a vegetable yesterday, like the reunion was not in accordance with your shadow, surely my talk about CLBK really." Jane's guess, based on her experience, reunions often end with old love blossoming back.

"There's a girl who blatantly likes Rafka, saying I'm pregnant first!" Caramel vents her frustration, only to Jane and Kayla can she reveal everything.

"Who's the guy? lu apain?" Kayla tightens her seat on Caramel.

"His name, big chest, sexy body."

"Well danger Car, you have to be careful, the actors of today are sophisticated." Jane improved her position to make it more comfortable listening to Caramel's story.

"Gue pinches her hair slippery as a freshly dipel floor."

"Good, it's not my fault I've been teaching you all this time." Kayla looks proud.

"Don't you have a picture?"

Caramel headed to the room to pick up Rafka's phone, showing Elsa's WhatsApp profile picture. Elsa happened to put up a recent photo with a background of green plants Odysseia.

"Gue knows his wife Rio's daughter who owns Chinesse Resto on our school deck Kay." Jane banged Kayla's thigh.

"Udah is divorced, Danu says Elsa is a widow."

"Well, Mr. Rio's really cool why can be left behind anyway?" Kayla takes over Rafka's phone to see Elsa's photo more clearly.

"Be careful Car, you want the drama the World of the Married?"

"Why?" Caramel glanced at Jane.

"That's not a can, it's pretty."

"Take care of your husband." Added Kayla.

Caramel took Rafka's phone from Kayla's hand, "you guys don't want me to take it." His grunts.
