My husband is not the CEO

Thirty Eight

The smell of lemon rushes from a humidifier that automatically sprays water vapor. Caramel said the tool can not only emit a soothing aroma but also to maintain air humidity. It seemed like it was indeed good for health so I activated it after a long time of not being used. I did whatever I could to get Caramel back to calm down after the incident in front of the apartment.

Caramel was asleep, whether she was actually sleeping or just closing her eyes. I've changed her clothes with the loose pajamas she used to wear at home. Than tight pants I prefer if he is wearing loose clothing—or not dressed at all—I mean, which husband does not like his wife at such times. I'm not a pervert, I'm just talking about reality.

I went up to the bed looking at Caramel's sad face, the trail of tears still so visible on her pretty face. My hand stretched out to pull out the hair that was blocking part of his face.

"You sleeping?" I asked to make sure, Caramel is most difficult to wake up if it is asleep. If there is no answer, it means he is sleeping.

Caramel shook her head, she fumbled the bottom of the pillow as the intro of the song Dynamite sounded not too loud—it was the ringtone of Caramel's phone the past month. It's usually only a week at most because Jane and Kayla are happy to change it.

"Mama here." Caramel thrust a phone that turned out not his, it means the hobby of changing the ringtone of the phone is not only done by Jane and Kayla—Caramel also infected and my phone became his victim.

I changed position by sitting leaning on the end of the bed before picking up the phone from my in-laws.

"Hello Ma." I started with the tone of voice as flat as possible.

"Rafka how's Caramel doing?"

I frowned, why did my mother-in-law suddenly ask about the state of Caramel, did she know about the incident this afternoon.

"Good caramel Ma, why did Mama suddenly ask about that?"

"When you look at the video on the WA grub, you see a woman pointing a pair of scissors at Caramel." Mama Caramel's voice sounded panicked, it seemed like she was crying too.

"Let's just calm down, Caramel is fine, he's sleeping now." I glanced at Caramel who was looking at me. Caramel doesn't seem to want to talk to anyone so I'd better tell mom that Caramel's sleeping.

"Mama and Papa are there now to see Caramel's condition."

"Mama and Papa don't have to panic, I'll take good care of Caramel, he's just in shock and needs to rest."

Mama Caramel let out a frustrated sigh.

"I won't tell anyone Caramel's disease."

"Yes, that's it."

"Let's Caramel call Mama after she wakes up."

"Yes, thank you for taking care of Caramel."

"It's my job, Ma." I smiled even though my opponent wasn't here.

"Mama close Ka first." Connection was cut off after I answered yes.

"Do you know there is a Rama?" Caramel immediately asked me a question after I put the phone on the nightstand.

"It doesn't seem to know, he didn't talk about it."

"Mama must have panicked if she knew Rama was not far from us." Caramel changed position, she sat her head against my chest.

"For a long time he'll know, we can't keep it hidden." I rubbed Caramel's hair gently, I felt the nightstand looking for the AC remote to lower the temperature because Caramel was sweating. Among us Caramel likes cold temperatures the most while I do the opposite, but I can succumb to it.

I thought there was no one other than the four of us, apparently other apartment residents also came out and even recorded with cell phones and shared it on social media. Nowadays rather than helping, people prefer to capture it with photos or videos. As technology advances, news will spread much faster.

"Your stomach is still cramping?" My hand went down to Caramel's back, he usually went to bed very quickly when I rubbed his back.

"Nothing is."

"Would I make you some milk?" My bargain. We should have been outside and had lunch, but the plan failed due to the commotion of Rama and his wife.

"Coffee." Answer Caramel slowly.

"Coffee?" My Deuteronomy.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Isn't your ration just one glass a day?"

Caramel looked up at me, "it's okay, just this once." He put on the sweetest face to me, who can resist it if he asks with such an expression. All this time I could never endure Caramel's temptations, he was indeed a reliable teaser.

"All right." Reply finally.

"Thank you, yeah." Caramel gave me a small kiss on my lips.

"I'll make you lunch, what do you want to eat?"

Don't whatever.

"Whatever."

Ever since I got married I just found out that the scariest word is whatever. I am most afraid of such an answer. Caramel once said whatever when I asked what food he wanted, I bought him his favorite KFC fried chicken and he said, this again yesterday was fried chicken, there is no other menu.

Similar events not only happened once or twice but several times to make me feel like a trauma with the word whatever.

"Just tell me what food you want to eat the most." I said trying to get answers other than whatever.

"What do you want to eat, I'm like you."

"Mmh!" Caramel suddenly shut her mouth, "the name's horror is I want to vomit."

"Sorry." I held Caramel because I felt guilty, it seems like I have to eat out because Caramel absolutely cannot smell the aroma of instant noodles since pregnancy when previously it was her favorite food to the kitchen cabinets full of instant noodles of various flavors and they. But now that the situation is reversed, I don't know if all married couples also experience this.

"Rafka." Call Caramel.

"Hm?"

"Why did you like following me?"

"You mean?" I looked down at Caramel who did not see me, what was the meaning of his words.

"You follow me wherever I go, don't you?"

I paused for a moment to think of the right answer to explain it to Caramel, but from where did he know that I used to follow him everywhere. Never mind, I just need to answer it honestly anyway we have become husband and wife. There is nothing to hide between them.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Make what?" Caramel directly lifted her head from my chest, she looked at me sharply with a burning curiosity.

"I like to know a few things about you."

"You're such a coward, like people but don't dare to reveal it?" Caramel slightly tilted her head.

"I've done that."

"When?" Caramel pursed her mouth.

Tong!

I opened my mouth to answer Caramel's question but closed again because I heard the sound of the house bell hunting. Instead of my ears ringing because the house bell is better I immediately check who is coming.

"You wait here." I said before coming out of the room, I was afraid if it was Rama's wife who was about to attack again.

Before opening the door, I peeked out of the small hole just in case it was Rama's wife or even Rama's. My eyebrows shot up at Jane and Kayla, why did they come? Caramel didn't say there was an appointment with them today.

"Where's caramel?" Jane and Kayla stormed in as I opened the door. Their habit is like that, if this door does not have a password maybe they have broken it forcibly in order to enter.

"Why are you coming?" Ask me wonder.

Without answering my question, they barged in and called out Caramel's name. They have also seen videos of Caramel circulating on social media. Jane and Kayla can't stay silent to see the attempted murder of Rama's wife.

It's free for me to forbid my in-laws to come here if Jane and Kayla finally come. I can't prevent Caramel's two ever-shattering best friends. I could just sit back, shut up and wait for them to come home.

I followed them to their room.

"Caramel, you're okay, right?" Jane approached Caramel who was sitting on the bed.

"Why did you suddenly come?" Caramel was astonished to see his two best friends, "Lu on the devil's side, come straight to hug me?" Spray her.

"Car, we saw all the events earlier, I'm sure it must have been Rama's wife who you told me about that time, right?" Kayla took off her embrace first.

Caramel nodded, "so now I'm viral huh?"

"Anyway I want to run over a girl who haphazardly nyerang you that's it." Jane took off her embrace.

Caramel laughed, "that's all that matters now that I'm okay."

"You can laugh." Jane pinned Caramel's head.

I grabbed the edge of the door, just so Jane could pinch my wife's head. If not Caramel's best friend, I would have dragged out because I had behaved recklessly to Caramel.

"You guys take it easy, I'll take good care of you." Caramel tried to calm down her two best friends even though I was sure she herself was still traumatized by the incident.

Jane and Kayla looked at Caramel in doubt.

"There's Rafka anyway, he must have kept me twenty-four hours non-stop." Caramel threw a look at me with a sweet smile when just a moment ago she said I was a coward. I can't deny that I'm a coward. But when I get the chance to have Caramel, then I will take good care of him for the rest of my life.

"Udah is like an ER." Cirps Kayla.

"But you can't be fooled by that girl, anyway if I meet two people keep me sambelin!" Jane said with overflowing emotions.

"I've reported it to the apartment, they'll be working with the police." My heart, the three women who had been focused on chatting immediately turned to me. They were dumbfounded for a long time, then shouted so loud that they surprised me. As a result of being together very long they become compact like that.

"I can't believe you're doing it." Jane got up from her seat while Caramel looked at me meaningfully.

"Gue's so calm taking Caramel away from you." Timpal Kayla's.

So all this time they didn't calm Caramel down with me?

Caramel came to me— stared at me a long time ago still with that smile. I was so misbehaved because he looked at me for so long when Jane and Kayla were here too. But Caramel, not caring about it, grabbed my neck and gave me a kiss on my lips, short but managed to make me peck. Jane and Kayla were cheering for Caramel's action but I was too shocked to care about them.

"It turns out that behind that flat face, you hold a great affection for me, thank you for loving me from twelve years ago until now." Caramel said in a soft tone of speech that was so deep into the recesses of my heart. I was stunned to get a series of beautiful words from a Caramel who was used to speaking soft and rough.

"Umm me ... " I can't speak, I'm misbehaving because I've only been kissed for the first time in front of other people. It seems that Caramel is braver when there are other people around us whereas I am otherwise, I can master Caramel when we are just the two of us. "I bought lunch first yes, you haven't eaten since." I immediately turned out of the room holding a rumble in my chest that was so great. We've even done more than just kiss but Caramel's words just really touched my heart, I'm not mistaken that he's a reliable teaser.
