My husband is not the CEO

Fifty Eight

"It just so happens that you guys came." Anna stops Caramel and Rafka from entering their apartment. He was indeed waiting for the arrival of his neighbor from earlier to invite them to attend Joni's birthday on the roof.

"Anna, what's wrong?" Caramel turned around while Rafka was still holding on to her position facing the door and pressed the password preparing to enter, completely uninterested in what Anna was about to say.

"I'm the same Mas Joni again ngadain birthday on the roof, you guys have to come along."

"Oh." Caramel turned to Rafka for her husband's opinion.

"You said you were tired." Rafka said in other words he refused to attend the event. They are not close neighbors. "I also have to change your bandage." Added.

They have just returned from Bandung after checking the goods that have been finished packaged and sent today also to buyers throughout Indonesia. The trip from Jakarta-Bandung is not a moment, Rafka does not want Caramel exhausted.

"But it doesn't feel good about Anna." Caramel Whispers.

"I can refuse it for you." Rafka was about to advance but Caramel prevented him. Anna should have understood better not to interrupt their time by inviting to an event like this all of a sudden.

"Yes, you're going first, we're going to follow." Tukas Caramel quickly pushed Rafka in.

"I don't want to." Rafka said after Caramel closed the door, he wondered why the neighbors who lived next door always disturbed their calm. First Rama and Adena who often quarrel full of drama is now Anna who is familiar. Rafka doesn't matter if Caramel is close to a neighbor around here, as long as it's within reasonable limits.

"Yes I know you're tired." Caramel takes off the slipper she wears and guides Rafka to the room. For while Caramel could not wear high heels or shoes, he could only wear flat slipper slippers because his poor forefinger had to be bandaged. "I went alone." Said.

"I won't let you." Rafka Assertive.

"Just do it." Caramel moved to pick up a box of perfume on the dresser, it was one of the many perfumes Rafka had never worn. Rather than not being used, Caramel would give it to Joni as a gift, it was impossible for her to come empty-handed.

Rafka is silent, he notices Caramel's every move. Now the woman is putting perfume in a paper bag.

"You can't go alone."

"Well, let's get me." Caramel sits on Rafka's lap, preparing to make a fatal seduction gesture to her husband.

"But just for a minute."

"Yes, fifteen minutes at most." Caramel sparkles as Rafka agrees to go to Joni's birthday show.

The idea of having a party on the roof seems quite interesting, although a little hassle but invited guests can enjoy the view of the building and the road from a height. Of course, this is not suitable for those who have phobias at altitude. But fortunately neither Rafka nor Caramel have a fear of heights.

Caramel has an idea for a baby shower party that will be held in a few weeks. But Caramel has been preparing for the installation from now on. At first he planned to hold a baby shower at the hotel but after seeing the decorations for this birthday party, he changed his mind. They can hold it in the apartment, saving more time and material of course.

"Be careful." Rafka held Caramel's hand as she was about to step. They reached the roof of the apartment for the first time after almost a year of living here.

"Please, I can." Caramel patted Rafka's shoulder twice while putting on a faint smile to win Rafka.

"Mom, please do." Anna welcomes Caramel and Rafka.

"Happy birthday Joni." Caramel shook Joni and gave her a paper bag. "Sorry I just found out you're on your birthday so I can only give you this."

"Mbak does not need to bring anything, with Mbak Cara and Mas Rafka come to us already seneng." Reply Anna.

"Ka, congratulations." Caramel pulled Rafka a little to congratulate Joni.

"Congratulations." Rafka greets Joni while giving a hug.

Joni was shocked because Rafka was clasping her hands very tightly. He tries to think positively maybe that's how Rafka treats someone.

"I don't know if you have bad intentions or not but I beg you not to disturb our family, one bit. Rafka's whisper in Joni's ear with great emphasis.

Joni opens his mouth to reply to Rafka's words but before that happens, Rafka releases the link between them. Joni swallowed her saliva painstakingly looking at the expression on Rafka's face looking at her sharply. Rattling.

"We can only congratulate and then leave." Rafka sees Joni and Anna alternating.

"Gee!" Caramel is shocked when Rafka pulls him away. "I'll go back first." He waved at Anna who looked at him disappointed.

"Slowly dong, what's the matter?" Caramel had trouble equating a move with Rafka.

"I said we're just for a minute." Rafka lifts Caramel's body into the elevator.

"Okay I'm calling you." Caramel resigned, he believes Rafka has a special reason to do this all. Is Rafka jealous? but they did nothing to make Rafka jealous. "Don't you like me for that perfume?"

"Hm?" Rafka looked down at Caramel's face.

"You've never used that perfume so I've only used it for gifts."

Rafka was silent, why Caramel actually thought he was upset because of the perfume when from the beginning he was not too fond of their new neighbors.

"I'll buy you a new one." Caramel is still afraid if Rafka is angry.

"I don't mind the perfume."

"Continue?"

"I don't like them."

Caramel turns the eyes puffed up, "you don't think bad, we don't know them yet so you can't judge that."

"I'm like this, that's why I don't have many friends."

Caramel was silent, Rafka was indeed not a person who was good at small talk and hid his dislike for someone.

"I want to take the next Caramel Sleepwear photo shoot in Bali." Caramel came in first, he changed his footwear with home sandals.

"Why?" Rafka steps into the room to change clothes.

Caramel did not immediately answer Rafka's question, he took cold water in the refrigerator before following Rafka to the room.

"All new year's holidays, you promised to take me to a warm place." Caramel is pouring water on Rafka.

"Are you sure Bali will be warm?" Rafka turned the mineral water bottle cap and thrust it again to Caramel.

Caramel held a smile, so perceptive, Rafka thought he was asking for help to open the water lid when Caramel gave it to Rafka to drink.

"That's for you." Caramel pulled out a dressing table chair and sat on it facing the large mirror before her. "I'm sure Bali is the right place for a vacation, consider it a babymoon even though the main purpose of the photo shoot."

"What is a Babymoon?" Rafka asked after sipping water for half a bottle.

"Another term from honeymoon."

"All right." Rafka nodded.

"We're leaving on the 25th." Caramel took one bottle among a row of other bottles which is a series of skincare that he always used.

"I only had one day off on that date."

"No new year holidays?" Caramel reflex turned his body to see Rafka, he did not know if the BMKG officer was working on the craft.

"Five days from the 28th."

"I'll go first on the 25th." Caramel continued to pour cleaning oil into her palm and rubbed her face.

Rafka took a deep breath and exhaled her, she could not let Caramel go far without her.

Instead of replying to Caramel, Rafka prefers to open the lid of the trash can near the dressing table and lift the plastic bag inside.

"Where are you going?"

"Dispose of garbage." Rafka sees a red lipstick with the letter symbol TF on the lid. She remembered it was the lipstick Sandra gave to Caramel some time ago. "You threw away that lipstick?" Ask.

"Yes." Yeah." Caramel replied without seeing Rafka, he had not finished doing his ritual of removing make-up.

"Since when? you said it was expensive."

Caramel returns the cleaning oil to its original place, he turns around grabbing Rafka's hands.

"Since I knew that you were the sender of the letter, I finally understood, it's not about the price but about your feelings, I should take care of your feelings Ka, you're my husband." Caramel looked up at Rafka.

"Thank you." Rafka pulled Caramel to her feet and hugged her.

"I will do anything for you, Ka." Caramel kissed Rafka's lips briefly.

Rafka took off the link between them, he rubbed Caramel's hair giving a kiss on the forehead. Don't forget the kiss gift for the little one inside Caramel's stomach. Ever since Caramel got pregnant, Rafka likes to invite their baby candidates to chat. Either their baby can hear it or not but Rafka is happy to do that.

Want to be left out of the trash it feels really heavy, it turns out bucin disease tuh kayak gini.

Usually, apartment dwellers simply put their garbage in a special room at the end of the corridor that will be taken by the janitor. But because Rafka is being diligent then he will go down to the ground floor to dispose of garbage directly to the shelter. Small actions that can ease the work of others.

Rafka tied the rope of the garbage bag she was carrying before throwing it in the trash. It only takes 5 minutes from her apartment to get to the garbage shelter, but why do people rarely do it?

"Rama?" Rafka muttered to himself when he saw Rama's car passing towards the basement area. Although many cars are exactly like that but Rafka is sure that it is Rama's car because he memorized his license plate just in case.

Hasn't Rama moved out of this apartment? but why is he here again? Rafka wondered in her heart. Of course he can't tell Caramel, it just makes Caramel think.

******

Caramel smiled proudly to herself for cooking three kinds of food for dinner without Rafka's help. This is like a record that must be immortalized by Caramel, he photographed shrimp fried noodles, potato paste and siomay with vegetable contents before uploading it to his Instagram which recently had a following of 150 thousand. Ever since Caramel uploaded the video of her marriage to Rafka to tik tok, her social media has become crowded with people who are curious about her and Rafka. Although not all but many of them pray for the relationship of Caramel and Rafka to remain lasting.

Behind Caramel's calamity of dehydration, God has prepared a way of sustenance for them. Because Rafka became famous in tik tok, it made sales of Caramel Sleepwear boomed. Caramel does not need to use artists for endorsements, its products can be known to the public thanks to Rafka.

"Rafka, the food is ready." Caramel went into the room to Rafka who was watching television.

"Yes." Yeah." Rafka turns off the television and follows Caramel to the dining room.

"I make siomay, I hope it feels good." Caramel sits next to Rafka, he picks up rice and siomay for Rafka. Maybe this is strange because siomay is not commonly eaten with rice but Caramel guarantees Rafka will definitely spend it. In the count of three surely Rafka will say delicious, one .. two ....

"Nob." Not until the count of three Rafka has said good even he has not spent his first feed.

"Because you like vegetables so I mix fish with spinach for stuffing."

"An interesting innovation, kids who don't like vegetables will definitely love to eat this."

"Our children will love vegetables." - Papa."

Rafka chuckles, likes vegetables or not necessarily depends on the upbringing of his parents.

"I've got some examples of names for our babies." Caramel showed Rafka his phone. Caramel used to look for name inspiration for her baby ranging from the internet, movies to books.

Recently while Caramel was doing USG, the camera captured clearly their boy of the male sex. Not only Caramel, Rafka has also prepared the best name for their child. Later Caramel and Rafka will combine the name.
