My husband is not the CEO
Thirty Five
Faintly Rafka heard the sound of someone crying, a voice that was increasingly clear made her slowly wake up from sleep. The sound of crying reminded her of the horror movies she often watched with Caramel—s sounded like ghostly cries.
Rafka opened his eyes completely, whether this is a ghost who was sift in the morning to wake people up so as not to be late for work. Is there such a ghost? it is also impossible that this apartment is haunted.
"How come, what's wrong?" Rafka is surprised to see Caramel crying beside her, even their blanket a little wet from the woman's tears. Rafka cursed himself for thinking that the voice just now was a ghostly voice when it was his own wife's cry. Rafka is confused because she has never seen Caramel cry so much before.
Slowly Caramel lowered the blanket covering her face, so that her eyes and red nose showed that she did not cry for a short time.
"I dream you're cheating." Lirih Caramel, his voice was hoarse from crying for too long.
Rafka widened, he rarely put on such a facial expression. But the reason Caramel was crying really surprised him. Even Rafka dream never let alone in the real world, he could not do something as stupid as that.
"That's not gonna happen." Rafka stroked Caramel's long hair, although he could not understand the woman's attitude but he still tried to calm her. When compared to the crying after the marriage contract, this is much stronger. Caramel is not a crybaby who cries easily.
"I dream you cheated on Elsa." Caramel closed her eyes, it was just a dream but it really made her furious. Caramel was crying so much that Rafka was alone with Elsa and the crying was carried away to the real world. This must be because he talked about Elsa yesterday with Jane and Kayla.
Rafka's lips twitched about to laugh but were restrained from pity to see Caramel still crying. The emotions of pregnant women are indeed fickle that is why Caramel cried just because of the dream. Rafka has read a lot of articles about pregnancy in the past week. As a husband he must respond to changes that will occur to the wife after pregnancy.
"Just today you don't have to work, I don't feel good." Pinta Caramel, she's afraid Elsa's coming to Rafka's place of work.
"Hm?" Rafka frowned, today there is an important meeting in the office. How could Rafka miss it.
"You're watching a concert with me." Caramel stretched her arms looking up at Rafka who still seemed to be thinking.
"Where?"
"On the laptop."
"We can watch it later."
"Where can it be, it's live." Caramel bent his face, he really did not want to let Rafka go to work today. It feels like the husband wants to be left to a distant place even though the reality of Rafka's office distance is only 20 minutes from the apartment if it is not jammed.
Rafka took a deep breath before replying to Caramel, he cupped the woman's face.
"I'd really like to be with you here, but today I have an important meeting at the office." Rafka's soft voice did not want to make Caramel angry.
"So you mean, I'm on my own leave today?" Caramel sewot, she wiped her rough tears and moved away from Rafka. Now he looks like a child who is sulking because he was not bought a toy when he was almost three heads.
"You can take Jane or Kayla to watch here, I have a projector in the next room, you can use it." Rafka shifts her body to get back close to Caramel, despite never dating but she begins to know a little how to seduce women. If Caramel keeps crashing it means Rafka really can't work today.
Caramel screeched glanced at Rafka sharply, could have seduced Caramel with such a thing.
"What concert are you going to see later, hm?" Rafka reached out to put up the button on the top shirt belonging to Caramel who missed— who took it off? maybe it slipped off on its own because of Caramel's slightly odd sleeping position.
"BTS, you won't know." Caramel flicked her hands and got out of bed after first revealing the blanket.
"I know." Rafka comes down from the bed chasing Caramel into the bathroom.
"Know where the cobak came from?"
Rafka seemed to think, he often heard the term BTS before. "Behind the scene, right?"
Caramel laughed out loud at Rafka's words, five minutes ago she was sobbing but now she is laughing at her husband's innocence.
"Are there any behind-the-scenes events that are live?" Caramel tilted her head after her laughter subsided, enjoying the moment when Rafka was confused.
"That's it." Rafka puts his shoulders, "now nothing is impossible."
"BTS here is Bangtan Sonyeondan, I will watch seven cogans, who knows our son will look like one of them." Caramel shrugged with her leisurely waltzing away down the shower preparing to take a shower.
"Can you do that?" Rafka still did not stop chasing his wife into a special narrow room shower that has a glass wall.
"Do what?" Caramel was upset, not that Rafka said she could watch a concert and use a projector why not now.
"You can't make our son look like anyone else, he has to look like me or you, if it's a boy then he has to look like his father." Rafka's jaw is hardened but to Caramel it looks funny. Caramel almost blew up if Rafka wouldn't let her watch the concert.
"Why, they're cute." Caramel's getting lusting makes Rafka jealous.
"Am I less handsome?"
Caramel closed her lips tightly so as not to laugh, of course my husband is very handsome proof of the weight so much after he went to work.
"Let's just be calm, as often as I watch them our son will look like me or you." Caramel touched Rafka's chest and gently rubbed it to calm her husband. Now that the robot can show his emotions, Caramel manages to educate him well.
Rafka gulped and moved back to hit the wall, actually the room was only enough for one person but he forced his way in to follow Caramel. Now that Rafka's common sense is starting to return, he must get out of it immediately and let Caramel bathe in peace.
"Would you shower together?"
Rafka halted his steps, gulped and turned around.
"Why is your face red?" Caramel approached, she excitedly teased her husband this morning.
"You wear a blush?"
"No." Rafka shook her head holding her hot cheek. What's the matter? He kept trying to cool in front of Caramel.
"I'm out first." Rafka steps quickly out of the bathroom before Caramel teases her again.
"Bikininin breakfast is that." Shouted Caramel, he was sure Rafka could hear his booming scream let alone the bathroom door was not closed.
"What's what?" Rafka's head poked out from behind the wall.
"That's what I call you, let's be like people."
Rafka scratched his nape walking to the bed to get it done.
"Why do people call their partners Yang?" How hard Rafka thought about it, he still did not know the answer. Does he have to ask Danu who knows everything like google.
Rafka goes to the kitchen after opening the curtains and making the bed. Caramel is the most skilled person to make the bed so messy.
Utilizing the ingredients in the kitchen, Rafka makes carrot omelets and fried rice leftover cold rice overnight that is not eaten by them. Rafka takes longer if you have to cook rice again.
"Not help?"
"It's almost done." Rafka.
"Sit down, I've made you some milk."
Caramel said she let go of his embrace and stepped towards the dining table to drink milk. Although Caramel prefers to drink coffee rather than milk but for the health of the fetus in his stomach, he was forced to skip his habit of drinking coffee.
"Today you had lunch outside?" Caramel turns her head to see Rafka after sipping a little warm milk made by Rafka.
"Yes." Yeah." Rafka replied, when Caramel is lazy to cook then it means he must eat canteen food that he thinks is not too good.
"Looks like we'll have to go shopping, I can't find any vegetables in the fridge." Rafka came carrying two dishes of fried rice with omelets on top.
"My vitamins are also abis." Caramel happily received the fried rice that was still puffing the smoke, she already held a spoon and fork in her hand.
They enjoyed the meal with a lot of silence, which meant Caramel loved Rafka's fried rice. Caramel admitted that Rafka's cooking is more delicious than her cooking. It's just that as a wife Caramel wants to learn to make good food for her husband.

"Right now the public trust in BMKG is getting bigger but that does not mean we can rejoice, precisely with that our responsibility to society is getting bigger."
Rafka noticed the head of BMKG who was explaining about the increase in the number of followers of BMKG social media accounts. Only now does Rafka think that he should learn to use social media like Instagram and the like because the delivery of information to the public must be appropriate through social media.
"I appeal to everyone to continue to keep our data and information precise and accurate, because the results of our observations and analysis also determine the fate of this country."
"We prove to the public that we will continue to improve the performance of BMKG to make it even better."
The BMKG has a great responsibility to the country because information about natural conditions depends on them. Not as simple as saying today Jakarta rained or lightning, they analyze the natural conditions in depth.
Rafka glanced at his flaming phone as the BMKG head up ahead closed the coordination meeting today. Rafka can read the WhatsApp messages that Caramel sent him.
I watched the concert myself ⁇ ️
"Eat in front of yuk." Suddenly Danu patted Rafka on the shoulder.
"Hm?" Rafka turned his head for a moment to Danu, just finished his best friend's meeting was hasty to invite him to eat.
"Eat what?" Rafka tidied up her belongings and replied to Caramel's message.
Where are Jane and Kayla?
"Eating soto lamongan mumpung weathernya again cloudy." Danu did not immediately move to wait for their superiors to come out first.
On their busy. Have you had lunch yet?
I was heading to the restaurant of soto lamongan with others.
Rafka and Danu and several other friends of fellow BMKG members stepped casually out of the hall where the coordination meeting took place with the head of BMKG. Finally after 2 hours there, they can breathe fresh air and replenish energy before returning to work.
"Si Elsa is." Danu nudged Rafka's arm as she saw Elsa waving at him. The beautiful woman was sitting on one of the empty chairs of the famous food stall with its soto menu.
I eat bread.
Without responding to Danu's words, Rafka was busy reading messages from Caramel. He saw Caramel sending a photograph of a loaf of peanut butter on a plate.
Why not eat rice?
The stall was so densely packed for lunch that almost all the seats were filled. Rafka's friends find one empty table and immediately sit around it. No more empty seats for Rafka, he lost quickly with his other friends because he was too focused on the phone.
"Sama Elsa gih, than you don't eat." Danu.
Rafka glanced at Elsa's desk, weighing having to sit with a friend who said one High School with her but until now she could not remember—or not so eat.
"I've ordered." Said Rendi—one of Rafka's friends, he had ordered 7 servings of soto lamongan for them.
"Would you like to eat standing up?" Cibir Danu, he did not think with his innocent friend, why not just sit back anyway they just sit and eat instead of cheating.
Elsa straightened her sitting position and wagged her hair as Rafka walked towards her, she gave Rafka her sweetest smile.
"Can I sit here?" Ask Rafka, if not then he will ask the waiter to wrap his soto that has been ordered.
"Can." Elsa manggut-mangut, "why are you so formal anyway talk the same temen own." His word.
Rafka quietly did not reply to Elsa's words, even the sentence was not captured by her earlobe at all.
You know, my stomach is not good.
Do you want me to bring you Soto?
Don't need.
Elsa keeps trying to smile even though Rafka ignores her. He glanced at the phone in Rafka's hand, wondering why the man was so serious about his phone.
"Mmm .. about the incident at that time, I do not intend ugly-ugly your wife, I just do not want you to marry the wrong person." Elsa bites her lower lip, hoping to gain Rafka's sympathy.
"Thank you." Rafka thanked the waiter who had delivered his order, a bowl of soto lamongan that looked tantalizing with eggs and chicken milk on it.
Elsa's getting dead in style because Rafka consistently ignores her.
Rafka ate the soto while warm, this time the earlobe managed to catch Elsa's speech but unfortunately the eardrum could not change the sound into vibration or in other words, free.
"I'm afraid you're married because of an arranged marriage, aren't you really in love with Caramel?"
Rafka slammed the spoon so that it made a loud noise, but the crowded atmosphere of the stall made the people there not realize it except Elsa who jumped in shock.
"I love Caramel more than I love myself. Since we don't know each other then I beg you never to interfere in my household affairs." Rafka left Elsa who was gawking, surprised and angry with Rafka's spicy speech.
"Well, where are you going?"
Rafka ignores Danu who keeps calling her, she has already lost her appetite. Instead of forcing yourself to eat, Rafka prefers to skip lunch.
