My husband is not the CEO

The Seventy Four

Soin Rafka dong

If Rafka were the model, I'd buy 10 dozen pajamas!

Try Rafka who became a model must be better.

Caramel puckered her mouth reading the comments on Caramel Sleepwear's Instagram account, it was a comment on a pajama photo that just launched yesterday. They had to postpone the launch of the new Caramel Sleepwear product because Caramel could not go straight to Jakarta at that time. But finally the second product Caramel Sleepwear can be immediately sent to customers who have pre-ordered.

"I had a hard time choosing a model uh they asked Rafka." Caramel grumbles annoyed, he has used a professional model for photoshoots of Caramel Sleepwear products but they instead ask Rafka to do it.

Caramel suspected they were only commenting but did not buy a single piece of pajamas. They just want to see Rafka's photos. On her Instagram account, Caramel rarely posts photos of Rafka because her husband does not want his photo on social media. Likewise on Rafka's Instagram, he never posted any photos except Caramel who did it. After all, from the beginning Rafka did not want to learn about social media that is currently widely used. Rafka lives only for Caramel, Arnesh and climatology.

Caramel turned to the door when she heard her apartment bell ring twice. He put the laptop that had been on his lap and moved to open the door. Before opening the door, Caramel peeked out through a small hole in the door. Since that incident Caramel became more vigilant especially at this time there is no one else in the apartment, only himself and Arnesh. Caramel doesn't want bad things to happen again like they used to. Although Rama has been in prison but Caramel still can not calm down completely. Caramel is afraid that the unwanted will happen to their family in relation to Rama.

"Mama isn't ya?" Caramel closes one eye to focus more on someone out there. After convincing himself, Caramel finally opened the door. "Mama!" He sows a smile to see Sandra—mama stepdaughter Rafka in front of the door with papa Rafka.

"How are you doing Caramel?" Bayu greeted Caramel first.

"Well, how are you guys?" Caramel kisses the hands of both of them politely, although Rafka is not at peace with them but Caramel still respects Sandra and her father-in-law.

"We're good, I hope our arrival doesn't interfere with your time." Sandra hugged Caramel briefly.

"Absolutely not Ma, let's go in." Take Caramel. "What did you bring?" He was surprised to see the big box behind them.

"We should have come early." Bayu pushes in a large box wrapped in wrapping paper, he and Sandra try to choose the best gift for their grandson Arnesh. "We hope this item is useful for Arnesh and you." Her speech.

"Thank you Pa, Ma, whatever it is must be useful to Arnesh."

"Where's arnesh?" Sandra sees Caramel, she can't wait to see Arnesh.

"This is his son from earlier sleeping." Caramel stepped closer to the smaller Arnesh box than the box in the room. Rafka deliberately placed the box in the living room so that when Caramel wanted to work outside the room, Arnesh remained under his supervision.

Sandra immediately lifted Arnesh's body and carried it, she wanted to go here since a few days ago but being confused about choosing a gift, they had to postpone it to this day.

"Like his mother is so." Sandra sat on the sofa beside Bayu after giving a kiss on Arnesh's red cheek several times out of anxiety.

"People say that too, Ma." Caramel tidied up her laptop and notebook that was strewn across the table. "Sorry Pa, Ma is such a mess I haven't done anything yet." He was embarrassed because the state of his apartment was quite messy when they came.

"Oh, we already know Caramel you must be busy because you have to take care of Arnesh, if there is an opinion that says women should be able to all that according to Mama is wrong."

"So you mean, we don't have to do it all?" Caramel raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, we are tired enough to take care of children and husbands, must masakin them even until we forget to eat let alone you also work, that's fine if you do not clean the house." Sandra smile.

Caramel shared a smile, although Sandra was only a few years old above Caramel but her thinking was very mature. Caramel is grateful that neither Mama Rafka nor Sandra thinks she is the perfect daughter-in-law in most people's view. Caramel feels lucky because Rafka also so—t ever demand her to be the perfect wife according to most people, Rafka views Caramel based on her own point of view without being influenced by the opinions of people out there. Caramel is the perfect wife in Rafka's eyes.

Now Caramel understood all the questions in the past were finally answered too. Caramel used to sulk at God, he asked why he had to fail marriage instead of someone else, why Rama disappeared when the wedding day was in sight, when they have prepared wedding clothes and even spread out invitations, why should he bear the shame and sadness alone. Now all his why has been missed by the arrival of Rafka who seems to be water for Caramel who has withered and almost dried up. Caramel is back.

"Arnesh drank formula?" Ask Sandra.

"No Ma, thank God I'm smooth so Arnesh doesn't need to drink formula milk." Caramel put his laptop and book on the shelf under the tv so as not to scatter on the table.

"Papa calm down I also use a bottle because if I have to go out Arnesh drink milk from the bottle so sterilizer is very useful for me, thanks Papa has initiative."

"No, the things I choose are nothing to waste." Bayu smiled proudly for having chosen the right gift for Arnesh and Caramel.

"Why not drink coffee?" Caramel went to make a drink for her in-laws.

"Drink, make two of you." Sahut Sandra's.

"Dear you like coffee too?"

"Love coffee."

"We're the same, Ma'am, I'm just cutting down on coffee now."

"Yes, you have to drink a lot of water."

"I made coffee first." Caramel leaves them for the dining room where the coffee machine is. Caramel has a lot of capsule coffee stock because currently he rarely drinks coffee. The coffee machine was very easy for Caramel's work, because although coffee lovers he could not make his own coffee.

Caramel turned to the door to hear the bell ringing, "Rafka has come?" Ask yourself, but it's not Rafka's coming home.

When he was about to open the door he saw his father-in-law do it first. Caramel lets Bayu open the door while he continues his coffee-making activities.

Caramel took out two jars of cookies from the kitchen cabinet, he had already bought a lot of cakes for the guests who came. Caramel chose cookies with palm sugar and almond cracis flavors for her in-laws. Caramel placed it on a tray along with two cups of coffee that were puffing smoke.

Caramel's eyes widened when he saw the scene before him at this moment, he almost dropped the tray he was holding in shock.

"Mama?!" Caramel was stunned to see Mama Rafka coming.

Bayu and his ex-wife were both glued to the door, no one making a sound. They don't know how to get rid of that awkwardness after years of never talking again. They divorced because of infidelity so until now the relationship between the two is not good.

"What did you bring?" Caramel tries to put an end to the tension between them, he walks into the living room to put the tray first.

"Mom just wants to eat dinner for you with Rafka." Mama Rafka stepped towards the dining room leaving Bayu who was still standing rigidly in front of the door. "I'm afraid you're not cooking."

"Mama Rafka came?" Sandra whispered to Caramel.

"Yes." Yeah." Caramel nodded. It's so awkward to be in a situation like this. After putting down the coffee, Caramel catches up with Mama Rafka to the dining room.

"Let me move in, Ma." Caramel took the plate on the shelf for the balado jerky container that Mama Rafka brought.

"When you go straight home."

"Who's Mama here with?" Caramel turned her body in the direction of her mother-in-law.

"Grab up." Mama Rafka washes her hands in the sink and dries it in a hurry.

"Don't you see Arnesh first?"

That's why Mama came here, "Tomorrow Mama's here again."

Caramel came out to take Rafka's mom but she was nowhere to be seen when she got to the door. Caramel understood Rafka's mother's feelings when she met someone who had once intertwined with her household ark. Moreover Bayu is not alone, there is Sandra with him. Inevitably mama Rafka had to give up and go instead of forcing herself to be in their midst.
