My husband is not the CEO

Sixty Two

Caramel was so excited when getting off the car wanted to get into Grand Indonesia immediately. He acted as if he had first gone to the shopping center which was only 5 minutes from his apartment. Though almost every day Caramel went here because there was something he wanted to buy even if only one item.

"Slow down!" Rafka half-runs after Caramel, he just got off the car but the woman is out of sight.

Caramel is not like pregnant women who often see Rafka, he still agile moving to and fro even with a distended stomach. Rafka is horrified whenever Caramel walks wearing high heels but Caramel always assures Rafka that he is used to wearing high heels.

"Buruan!" Caramel looked back at Rafka who was far behind.

"I want a big cot so I can sleep in it." Rafka holding Caramel's hand took him into the lobby of Grand Indonesia which was quite crowded.

Although Caramel and Rafka can walk from the apartment to Grand Indonesia but they bring a car because it will shop for many purposes.

"But are you heavy, what if the bed collapses?"

"Then buy the strong." Rafka does not feel himself fat, 70 kg is his ideal weight.

"Let's just make a bed for our baby." Caramel patted Rafka's shoulder.

"Why did we stop here?" Rafka saw several beds on display in one of the special baby bed shops. Instead of answering, Caramel just waltzed away leaving Rafka.

Rafka was anxious, it seemed like she had to use a rope so Caramel wouldn't leave her like this.

"Rafka, what an aesthetic white color?" Caramel touches a white wooden bed that has a size large enough, not only can accommodate babies but their parents at once.

"I like it." Rafka nodded.

"I want a model like this."

The bed answered Caramel's confusion, she had already ordered a bed for her baby but did not know for sure what kind of model she wanted. Finally after coming here, Caramel got inspired.

"Want to buy clothes too?" Ask Rafka.

"Yes dong."

"Don't we have a baby wardrobe?" Rafka does not know that Caramel has been secretly collecting baby clothes that he bought online.

"Why are you afraid your ATM's contents are running out?" Caramel throttled, understand if he was too excited to buy all the baby needs because this is the first time for them.

"You'll never be able to spend it."

"Because I'm saving, right?" Caramel smiled broadly, wasn't she the frugal type of wife?

"Of course you're sparing." Rafka nodded in approval to Caramel's remark, "if spending is no more than income means you are saving."

"I agree with you." Caramel mangosteen, Rafka is indeed a dream husband who never limits what items Caramel will buy. "I want to take this to Bali." Caramel took one of the clothes for the newborn out of the hanger. It was a blue jumper complete with a hat.

"Why are you taking her to Bali?" Rafka frowned, Caramel will not give birth in Bali.

"It's funny, I want a photo of this shirt on the beach." Caramel looked at the jumper imagining the baby wearing it.

"You're going to do a photo shoot on the beach?"

Caramel nodded, he was busy picking out other clothes and putting them in the trolley. Rafka only picked a few outfits because he didn't really understand that. According to Rafka their baby will look handsome wearing anything.

"We should buy this too." Rafka pointed one ASI pump tool on the shelf.

"You know what that is?"

"It's an ASI pump."

"Kok you know?" Caramel squinted at Rafka suspiciously. Never have Rafka ever watched a nasty video on YouTube! But what kind of perverted video displays an ASI pump tool?

"Doctors ever show us tools like this." Rafka's face remains innocent unaware that Caramel suspects her.

"No need to." Caramel pulled a trolley that was already full of their groceries. Only a short time Caramel has made a shopping trolley that is large enough to be full of various kinds of baby equipment.

"Let me take the trolley again." Rafka pulled the trolley again to take to the cashier and picked up one more trolley because Caramel still looked unsatisfied shopping.

"Yes." Yeah." While waiting for Rafka to pick up one more trolley, he sat in one of the waiting chairs because his legs were sore. "I'm not used to it anymore." He took off high heels that have a height of about 7 cm.

Caramel nibbled on his own heel, he stood for less than an hour but his feet were already swollen. Her legs did not look beautiful anymore wearing those high heels.

"Lu evil right now!" Caramel nagged on the black high heels he used to wear often because he felt more confident with the high heels.

"Wear this."

Caramel saw a pair of red flip-flops in front of him, he looked up to see someone who had put the slippers down.

"Don't be a bad luck hero, mending me nyeker than wearing slippers from you." Caramel is cynical after knowing the man is Rama. The mall is spacious but why Caramel had to meet with Rama.

"Where's your husband? why did he abandon his beautiful wife?" Rama smiled slantingly at Caramel.

Caramel moved closer to Rama's face, "As you go now, you forget the first time you meet him your handsome face is not how much this is made full of blood." Caramel pointed at Rama's chest and pressed him, "getting curious what would happen if you showed your face again in front of Rafka."

Rama swallowed his saliva with great difficulty but he tried to hide his fear, "it would be nice to say it's the same with me." He removed Caramel's hand from his chest and passed from there.

"My only regret is knowing you!" Caramel cursed at Rama who had walked far away whether the man would hear it or not.

If Rama thinks Caramel will be touched with those sandals then he is wrong. Caramel sat back down and kicked the flip flops that Rama was carrying, he leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to dampen his emotions. Caramel threw away his curiosity as to why Rama was in Grand Indonesia when he was here as well. He does not want to think about any kind of apartment Rama and Adena are also not far from here.

"Wear this."

Caramel was surprised when there was a hand that touched his leg and heard the two words again, he almost kicked the person who had dared to hold his leg but not so after knowing if the person was Rafka.

"I told you what, high heels won't be comfortable to use around the mall." Rafka pairs birkenstock sandals on Caramel, he believes the sandals will be more comfortable to wear because of the padded base.

"I just want to look beautiful with those high heels."

"You're pretty wearing anything." Rafka left after pairing sandals for Caramel.

Caramel held back a smile, she should not blush with just such a simple sentence. But that's how Rafka was able to make Caramel float up into space with just a simple sentence. Rafka is not good at saying sweet words, he only uses his pure heart to praise Caramel.

Rafka reached out her hand to help Caramel stand up, "want to continue?"

"Yes." Yeah." Caramel nodded.

"Who's sandal?" Rafka saw the slippers lying not far from the chair as they were about to leave the place.

"Not knowing me either." Caramel put her shoulders pretending not to know.

"See is new."

"Have a crazy man." Ceplos Caramel, even the name crazy is too good for a Rama.

Rafka sees the slippers once again before they step into the elevator leading to the top floor.

"The madman must be rich." Although it's just flip-flops but Rafka knows there are no cheap items sold here.

"I want Moolatte." Tukas Caramel switched the conversation.

"I want to open a gift when I get home from here."

"You can't wait to open it from yesterday."

Of course Caramel can't wait to open the gift since the baby shower is over but he has to finish other more urgent matters. He and Rafka got many gifts from invited guests to walk in their closet full of gift boxes.

They arrived at Dairy Queen one of Caramel's favorite hawker spots when going to the GI. Rafka to memorize what menus Caramel usually messages when going here. Before continuing to shop they stop here for a moment while eating ice cream and drinking coffee.

"Is this your excuse?" Rafka saw Caramel sipping cold coffee until only half a glass remained.

"What?"

"Is this why you like coffee?"

"What the hell?" Caramel frowned not understanding the direction of Rafka's conversation, come on he just wanted to drink cold coffee quietly.

"The reason you like coffee is because you're Caramel, you're sweet so you need something bitter to be balanced."

Caramel gawk for quite a while even unconsciously he dropped the stainless straw he always carried when out to make a loud enough sound. Fortunately the atmosphere of the Mall was crowded so no one realized it.

God please take me missing from here, I'm ashamed! Learn where he's raiding like this. Caramel screamed in a bewildered heart at what to answer. Where does this kind of hypothesis come from in Rafka's mind. Are all BMKG officials good at sweet talk?

"Are you okay?" Rafka touched Caramel's reddened cheeks, puzzled that Caramel had suddenly fallen silent. "The caramel?"

"Huh?" Caramel blinked her eyes several times trying to return to the real world.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Caramel shook his head, what was the name, obviously it made the heart of the clamps.

"You dropped your straw."

"Had you heard, I just drank directly just don't need to use a straw." Bodo is the same straw that has fallen to the floor, which is important I am sweet!

Ignoring Caramel's words, Rafka bends her body to pick up the straw because she knows Caramel can't take it himself. In this case Rafka as a standby husband will do something that Caramel cannot do alone.

Towards the night the lights of the city began to be turned into the most beautiful scenery when viewed from above. Jakarta never sleeps, the more crowded the night. Motor vehicles lined the streets like ants swarming with food.

Moonlight replaces the sun, changing day and night shifts regularly. The scenery above the sky is no less beautiful, millions of stars lying around accompany the moon reluctant to leave it alone.

The apartment balcony, which has always been Caramel's favorite spot for the night, is empty. Caramel was busy opening a gift she got during a baby shower a few days ago. Caramel and Rafka spent hours opening all the gifts.

The average gift contains baby clothes, cutlery to the largest toy cars from Kayla. Caramel can wear all of those gifts for up to 3 years.

"Drink milk first." Rafka approached Caramel who was putting clothes in a suitcase after cleaning the gift they had opened. "You're so excited, baby." Rafka sits on a fur carpet.

"Thank you." Caramel sipped the warm milk slowly. "All the pieces thrown away?"

"It." Rafka had just thrown out the wrapping paper and the rest of the party decorations that had gone unused.

"I've also entered your clothes."

"Are you sure you're leaving first?" Rafka wants to ban Caramel from leaving first without him but he does not want to be selfish to hinder Caramel's work.

Caramel nodded, "i'm not alone, there's Jane, Doni and Lisa." He patted Rafka's thigh to calm her down, not only did Jane he also leave with two other people who were members of the Caramel Sleepwear team.

"Stay, I'm afraid you're leaving without me." Rafka could not hide her concern for Caramel.

"I'm not a child, before marriage I also used to travel with Jane and Kayla even abroad." Caramel continued to put in a few pieces of her clothes.

"I know." Rafka exhaled a heavy breath looking at Caramel who was focusing on folding clothes. "Let me hug you." He pulled Caramel into his arms, for some reason it felt so hard to part with his wife. Rafka will follow 2 days later after Caramel leaves. Imagine that 2 days Rafka so upset himself, it will be the longest 2 days in his life.

"Why are you?" Caramel laughs holding Rafka's tyrannical cheeks.

"It's the first time we've split up during marriage so—"

"It's not parting." Caramel silenced Rafka's mouth with her palm. Why Rafka calls the holidays farewell. Caramel's hands went down to close her own mouth while yawning.

"Let's go to sleep, it's late." Rafka takes the empty glass and goes out walking in closet leaving Caramel.

"So soon, take responsibility." Caramel quickly stuffed some of her underwear into the rest of the suitcase. He also brought some baby clothes that he liked to be photographed later.

Caramel does not bring a lot of goods, the plan he will shop a lot of clothes in Bali. Caramel is so excited to imagine the warm sand of the beach of the island of the gods.

Caramel took off her hairpins and sat in front of the mirror, preparing to perform the ritual the night before going to bed. Clean up makeup, wash your face and wear a series of night skincare.

Rafka waited for Caramel unconscious on the bed, he changed the position of his back, tilted to his stomach. But Caramel is not finished.

Finally Rafka gave up, he got off the bed to Caramel who was still faithful sitting in front of the dressing table.

"Suddenly I want to eat instant noodles." Rafka hugged Caramel from behind.

"Yes, tomorrow you come home from work, stop by first to the grocery store you eat noodles." Caramel was curious after she gave birth later whether Rafka still likes to eat instant noodles or not. Rafka used to be the most anti-eating instant noodles, not healthy he said but now he often eats unhealthy foods.

"It doesn't matter if I come home late?" Rafka raised her head, looking at the reflection of Caramel's face through the mirror.

"It's okay, eating noodles for a while."

"But I'm tired of eating noodles in that stall."

"I used to eat noodles at What's Up Cafe, try it there you must like." Caramel turns to face Rafka.

"If so let's go to sleep." Rafka lifts Caramel's body and throws him on the bed.

"I'm not done knowing!" Caramel nagged, he was about to move on but Rafka first hugged him tightly.

"Belgroff." Rafka kisses Caramel's face with anxiety, one of whom he made a long wait just to sleep.

"Oh, it hurts." Caramel grimaced while holding her stomach.

"What's wrong?" Rafka stops kissing Caramel when she hears the woman complaining of pain.

"Look, your son kicked me so fast." Caramel looked at her moving stomach.

"Sssshh baby, it's Papa." Rafka stroked Caramel's stomach right where their fetus was moving. "Is it so sick?"

"No." Caramel shook his head, "I'm just lying to you." He sticks out his tongue and hastily covers his entire body with a blanket before Rafka manages to kiss him again mercilessly.

"Why do you always prank me?" Rafka pulls Caramel and hugs her very tightly even she almost overpowers Caramel's body if she does not remember that she is pregnant.
