My husband is not the CEO
The Seventy Eight
Grand opening Caramel Sleepwear that day was lively with the presence of Caramel friends and some employees who were part of the beginning of the formation of the Caramel business until it could be like now.
Although Caramel felt this was far from a word of success but he wanted to give appreciation to his employees who were so patient in fulfilling his will. They realize all the requests Caramel sometimes unreasonable like I want the material comfortable, absorb sweat but after so the price of one piece of clothes should not be more than 250 thousand.
Some Mall visitors who happened to pass by and curious stop at the Caramel store, just looking around. If there are pajamas that attract attention, they will take it—grabbing each part of the pajamas then look in the mirror, guessing whether the shirt is suitable to wear. There are two types of visitors, the first one who falls in love and goes straight to the cashier to pay for it, the second type returns the pajamas that have been seen to the hanger and then leaves.
Many of the visitors who come are online buyers Caramel Sleepwear, because many products are launching exclusively then they come to bring it.
Caramel was sure in this world it was not only her who loved pajamas so much, there were many people who were the same as her. That made Caramel determined to open this store. Especially in 2021 pajamas have been designed more trendy so not infrequently people wear them when out of the house. Pajamas are no longer sleepwear but rather comfortable clothes to wear in all conditions.
"Jeez Caramel abis gheelirin already slim again loh." Resti one of Caramel's college friends greeted. Some time ago they also met in the apartment when Caramel just returned from Bali.
"Where not slim, Arnesh if you have drunk breast milk can be two hours nonstop." Caramel laughed at the end of his sentence, rightly said people if breastfeeding is the most powerful diet after giving birth.
"The baby boy is that."
"Have you tried the salad yet?" Caramel provides fruit salad for visitors as it is the first day the store opens while promoting Kayla fruit salad. While diving drink water.
"That's it, so good." Praise Resti honestly, he has finished one cup of medium-sized fruit salad.
"Thank God that's it, look around." Caramel lets Resti look at the other pajamas in the room while she approaches Jane and Kayla at the checkout table.
"People on like your salad the same." Tukas Caramel on Kayla.
"Of course they like it, who made it." Sahut Kayla is proud.
"They like it because it's free." Jane Timpal.
"What the fuck, you like it." Cibir Kayla did not accept.
Caramel turns around letting Jane and Kayla start their debate that won't meet a common ground. Caramel looked up slightly at the television screen attached to one side of the wall. The screen is showing a map of Jakarta.
"The weather today is expected to rain in most areas of Jakarta with light to moderate intensity, do not forget to bring your umbrella or raincoat when out of the house."
Caramel is glued to see the weather forecast broadcast, she is not a person who likes to watch news shows but if the announcer is her own husband then that could change. It turns out that seeing Rafka in front of the television screen makes Caramel feel unkillful, it is different if he looks directly. There was a warmth that slowly infiltrated into Caramel's chest cavity.
"Wah could also Rafka stiff it appeared in front of the tv." Called Jane whose attention is also turned on the weather forecast broadcast. His debate with Kayla was forced to stop thanks to Rafka.
Caramel held a smile, it was the second time Rafka was seen on the television screen. Currently BMKG has its own tv channel that displays various news about meteorology, climatology and geophysics throughout Indonesia. Although Rafka is part of climate change, he also has a great opportunity to announce weather forecasts to the community.
"That's because he's married to Caramel, you inget not the first time we met Rafka, he's really stiff like kayak kanebo never washed." Reply Kayla.
Caramel's two best friends are indeed spicy, that's why their friendship has survived until now because of the three personalities are almost the same.
"O you guys, talk Rafka in front of his wife." Hardik Caramel who finished the 5-minute news show.
"Eh sorry, we're behind you now." Jane sneered.
Caramel was about to reply to Jane's words but there was a buyer who wanted to pay his groceries to the cashier's desk, he was forced to swallow back a sentence that was already at the end of the throat.
"Thank you for coming here." Caramel said to the buyer.
The buyer replied to Caramel with a smile, he offered Jane a credit card to pay for her groceries.
"Please." An employee gave a pink paper bag that read Caramel Sleepwear in which there are 4 pairs of pajamas.
"Thank you, big brother." Jane added while giving back the buyer's credit card.
"Together." He smiled before leaving the store.
Caramel was happy because on the first day he opened the shop the visitors greeted him enthusiastically. He hopes Caramel Sleepwear products will always be loved by many people.

The white BMW series coupe stopped right in front of Caramel standing in the PIM yard with a black umbrella in his hand. Before Rafka opened the door, Caramel opened it and got into the car in quick motion.
"It's raining." Caramel wrapped the new folding umbrella she was wearing and placed it in the back seat.
"You don't believe my analysis?"
"Don't believe it, I'm just too impressed with you."
"How's the show?" Rafka took off the seat belt turned to Caramel.
"Everything is good." Caramel closed the car door again. "Although tired but I'm cool because many visitors who come."
"You were amazing today too." Caramel shuffles Rafka's hair which is always neat, giving a brief kiss on the lips before Rafka returns to the steering chair. At a glance Caramel saw Rafka's cheeks flushed red, he held a smile.—it turns out men can also blush so.
"I didn't want to but the boss kept asking me to do it." Rafka started running cars out of the Pondok Indah Mall area that was never deserted by visitors.
"Its okay, you can get a new experience right."
Rafka nodded, for him getting a new experience is important but not by appearing in front of the tv, he was very embarrassed. Even his legs could not move even though the camera was dead. Rafka doesn't want to do it again.
"Aren't you abis?" Caramel took out a cinnamon-scented apple Snack from her tote bag, forgetting to have missed lunch because it was too busy at the store earlier.
"As usual, I didn't let a single item get left behind."
"We'll pick up Arnesh ya." Caramel chewed on the Snack with a large bite, he wanted to get to his parents' house and eat there.
"Mama said Arnesh wasn't fussy, he was a good and understanding boy."
"I don't want to leave Arnesh at last like a gini." Caramel took off her coat. "You see how big Arnesh's ASI container is because we don't meet all day."
Rafka only glanced briefly at Caramel, reluctant to see him for too long to stay focused on driving. If more than two seconds Rafka saw Caramel who only wore a white t-shirt then he would not be able to continue the journey. You guys know why? because Rafka turned into a perverted guy with Caramel.
About 1 hour drive from PIM finally they arrived at Caramel's parents' house to pick up Arnesh. Caramel is forced to leave Arnesh because he will be busy taking care of Caramel's grand opening Sleepwear. Caramel promised never to leave Arnesh one full day.
"Arnesh just took a shower, Ma, Pa." Mama Caramel gives Arnesh to Caramel, she knows Caramel must have missed her baby after a long day without seeing her.
"It smells sweet, baby." Caramel kissed Arnesh's face full of baby powder, "it's handsome like Papa nih."
"Of course Arnesh is more handsome now." Rafka rubs Arnesh's head and kisses him, Arnesh laughs at Caramel and Rafka alternately. Arnesh's feet and hands are actively moving as he feels good.
"You have to eat here, Mama cook a lot." Mama Caramel.
"Let me carry Arnesh, you eat first." Rafka knows Caramel is starving. During the trip here Caramel spent five packs of Snack apples which he said were good for the diet.
"Let your mom be fat, you eat." Mama Caramel said again, she could not let Caramel eat without Rafka.
"No Ma, Mama's been taking care of Arnesh all day." Rafka again.
"So seriously okay?" Caramel hesitates to see Rafka.
"Yes dear." Rafka takes over Arnesh in Caramel's sling.
Caramel hurriedly went to the dining room with her mother, he could not wait to fill his empty stomach— was actually slightly filled by 5 packs of Snack he bought for the diet but of course it would not work because he spent 5 packs at a time. After all Caramel had no intention to diet, he just wanted to eat a healthy Snack.
"Why haven't you come?" Caramel was in the chair she used to sit in while she was still living here. He took rice with meat soto and soy sauce sambal and crackers.
"Papa's a little malem coming home." Mama Caramel did not eat, she waited for her husband because he was used to eating together. "What was your show?"
"Currently, Ma many come too, college students also come."
"Mama doain Caramel Sleepwear continues to be more successful and smooth."
Meanwhile Rafka invites Arnesh to chat like his habits since the baby was in the stomach of Caramel. The difference is now that Arnesh can respond to Rafka's speech with an adorable aoaoaoaoao voice.
The wall clock shows at 7 o'clock just as Rafka and Caramel are about to go home. They also waited until Papa Caramel came back from the office.
The streets were wet with the rain that had been raining in the capital since noon. Rafka drives cars at low speeds due to slippery roads.
"That's a lot of trouble for his sleeping brother." Tukas Caramel broke the silence between them since he was in the car. Caramel turned to look at Arnesh who was asleep in the carseat while he was in the front seat.
"The mother can also sleep, when I get there I'll wake you up."
"Later you don't have a conversation."
"It's okay, I know you're holding back the sleepiness." With a deft Rafka stretch the seat backrest so that the Caramel position is more comfortable.
Caramel was surprised for a moment, but Rafka could do that while driving. Caramel was sleepy, her eyelids felt heavy but she tried to keep it open until she reached the apartment later.
The CEO is present!
