My husband is not the CEO
The Seventy Six
Walk in closet Caramel is full of piles of clothes that have just been issued by the owner of the closet. Caramel does not believe in himself because having this much clothing up to 8 cabinets are not enough. And to his surprise again many of these clothes that Caramel has never worn since buying it are seen from the clothing tag that has not been removed. Many famous clothing brands that even Caramel forgot if ever bought it if he did not unpack the contents of the closet.
Caramel plans to sell clothes that she has never worn at a price that is much cheaper than the purchase price. Some of it will be given to his online friends on Instagram.
"It's a real shame." Caramel hugs a white crop top with a floral motif that if worn will show her beautiful stomach (formerly) but unfortunately she forgot if ever bought it. But after looking back at Caramel remember he bought the shirt with his own work, unfortunately if sold.
Caramel was excited to sell them but after seeing them one by one, he became upset considering having to work all day to buy the clothes. But if you want to open an offline store Caramel must sell items that he does not use because the price of kiosk rental in Jakarta is very expensive. Rafka was ready to help Caramel both morally and materially but Caramel should not rely on her husband completely.
Although the results of the sale of Caramel Sleepwear through an online shop have also been more than expected but Caramel wants his business to grow even more by opening an offline store. He has to step out of his comfort zone and face new challenges.
Caramel stretched her body after sitting on the floor long enough to sort out clothes by brand and type. He will sell it in e-commerce to be more easily found by prospective buyers.
It's a weekend, a day that Caramel always waits for because Rafka will be at home a full day. Caramel wants every day to be a weekend so he can be accompanied by Rafka. Of course it's impossible to happen.
"Mama, looks like Arnesh's thirsty." Rafka's voice came from outside the room.
Caramel moves on, he does feel it's time for Arnesh to suckle because his chest is starting to feel full. Caramel tried to breastfeed Arnesh every two hours as advised by the doctor.
"Yes, my mother's son is thirsty." Caramel is anxious to see Arnesh sticking out his tongue, he takes over the baby from Rafka's sling.
"Have you got a shirt to sell?" Rafka follows Caramel sitting on the edge of the bed.
"It hasn't been sorted yet, but it looks like it's going to be a lot." Caramel opened the top two buttons of his pajamas prepared to give breast milk to Arnesh.
"More is better."
"May anyone want to." Caramel rubs Arnesh's head, which begins to suckle her.
"I'm sure all your clothes will be sold." Rafka is optimistic that Caramel clothes will be sold because even though he does not understand fashion but all Caramel clothes are not bad. It's just that since marriage Rafka does not allow Caramel to wear clothes that are too open when outside the house. "We're going to rent a kiosk in Grand Indonesia?"
Caramel shook his head, "we haven't been able to rent a stall there, it's three times the price of my car."
"The rental price of buildings in Jakarta is indeed nothing cheap, but it will be comparable to the number of visitors who come to the place."
"But not in Grand Indonesia as well, the place is deket from here but Caramel Sleepwear has not been able to compete with other brands that are first known to the public."
"We can slowly introduce your brand to the wider community."
"Thank you for supporting me." Caramel touched Rafka's thigh.
"I will always support you." Rafka brought her face closer, her gaze down on Caramel's lips without any lipstick or lip products.
"Gee!" Caramel shrieked softly when Rafka suddenly grabbed her lips, she snatched at Rafka's thigh. It is unethical that they have this hot kiss in front of Arnesh. Initially Caramel was about to push Rafka's chest but his body could not lie, he enjoyed the kiss was—pelan but intense.
Rafka's hand grabbed Caramel's nape and held him, unwilling to interrupt Arnesh's drinking.
"Have you no shame in seeing Arnesh!" Caramel hits Rafka's chest after they end the sudden kiss. Rafka always gives unexpected kisses like that but still Caramel is not used to it.
"It's good, Arnesh will understand that Papa and Mama love each other so much."
Caramel sneered, there was only a reason Rafka used so that he was not upset because of the man's behavior. Surprisingly Caramel thought the sentence made sense as well.
"Pa, please help me photograph the clothes I hang outside the closet one by one, I will post them on my Tokopedia account."
"okay." Without being asked twice Rafka went from there rushing to pick up the camera stored in the nightstand.
"What a good one." Book Caramel before Rafka goes into the walk in closet with the camera in his hand although he believes the results of Rafka's camera shots are always good.
After falling asleep, Caramel moves Arnesh into the box as he is about to take a bath. One of the reasons Caramel was looking forward to the weekend was that he could only soak in the bathtub that day. Caramel had to give up the moment of soaking since giving birth, but her safety with Arnesh felt very valuable. Caramel can feel more tranquility and happiness than when she soaks in the bathtub.
Caramel gives a long kiss on Arnesh's forehead before leaving it.
"I'll take a shower, Pa." Tukas Caramel on Rafka who looks serious photograph crop top floral motifs that he combined with white hot pant made of linen. Caramel bought both of them for almost a million but he would sell them for half the price.
"Arnesh sleeping?" Rafka turned to Caramel for a moment after he finished a single shot.
"Yes, please look at her fear of waking up."
Rafka nodded, "but why is this shirt for sale?"
"Why?" Caramel is confused by Rafka's question, why what? Didn't he tell you why he sold those clothes.
"You've never worn a shirt like this in front of me."
"She can't wear that shirt."
"Can't just be used out of the house." Rafka checked the picture just now.
"I have a lot in the closet, but the problem is my stomach is now not as good as it used to be so PD does not want to use crop top."
Rafka photographed once again a pair of basic white clothes because he was not satisfied with the results of the previous photo. He will repeat again and again if he has not got the right photo according to him.
"I heard there are treatments that can make the stomach back as tight as before pregnancy, you can try it if it can add confidence."
"Know from whom?" Caramel is suspicious because Rafka who is all kudet can know about such treatment.
"And you tell me." Of course who else Rafka's all-knowing speakers about the outside world if not Danu. "Say Indi continues to whine for treatment there."
"Continue?"
"Then they'll leave today."
"I've seen the results have Indi first." Caramel passes from there, he must not waste time while Arnesh sleeps.
******
Caramel finished uploading photos of her clothes, shoes and bags to e-commerce after spending a full day sorting out the items. Caramel is grateful that Rafka helped her take the photo. Initially Caramel would only sell his clothes but after looking back at the bag rack and shoes, he also had many that were still good and rarely used. Caramel will sell some of his belongings and try to reduce the consumption behavior.
Rafka sees Caramel sleeping with Arnesh in his lap who is also asleep. The clock shows at 8pm as they finish today's work and dinner. Caramel cooks squid pasture sauce a recipe from Kayla and it makes her dinner twice as much as usual as Rafka. And now Caramel is sleeping while holding Arnesh, in addition to being full he is also tired because of a very busy weekend.
Slowly Rafka lifts Arnesh from Caramel's lap and moves him to the bed, putting Caramel's pajama buttons open after breast feeding Arnesh.
"Dear fix your position." Rafka said slowly.
Caramel automatically slumps dropping her head right onto the pillow with her eyes closed.
Rafka enveloped Caramel's body to the waist, at a glance he saw a scar of surgery on Caramel's stomach. Rafka never wrongly tethered his heart to Caramel, the strong woman who always made Rafka grateful. They have been through a lot together, Rafka promised himself that he would always make Caramel and Arnesh happy. She learned from her mother and father's divorce because of an affair. Rafka does not want to be like her father who failed to be a husband for her mother. Rafka remembers how much she and Febi suffered when they found out that their father cheated on them and preferred the new woman over their mother.
Rafka lies on the bed next to Arnesh, who is heard snoring. He kisses Arnesh's smooth, reddish cheeks. He wanted to bite the cheek because of anxiety but fear of being caught by Caramel, he could be rumored if caught doing so.
