My husband is not the CEO
Eighty Seven
"Try your test pack, don't you want two weeks late for the month?"
Caramel kept thinking about Jane's words when choosing the color of the fabric to use on Caramel Sleepwear's independence pajamas. He did not concentrate when driving because he thought about the words of his best friend. If you think Caramel has been two weeks but he was traumatized to use a test pack because the results were not as expected.
But what's wrong with trying, if it's a fine line, than being curious and unable to sleep.
Finally Caramel decided to turn his car back to the pharmacy to buy a new test pack. Caramel had already thrown away all the supplies of test packs at his house because of the emotion of the last time he used it, it was indeed a stupid action because he had to buy another test pack this time.
Caramel bought a digital test pack to use it over and over again. He promised himself not to be disappointed if the result was negative. Actually, every time you want to use a test pack, Caramel is always determined not to be disappointed and accept the results with chest roomy. But still seeing negative signs on the test pack made Caramel disappointed, crying and finally stressed. Even worse is that Caramel threw away all his test packs because it was the thing that disappointed him the most.
"This is it, Mom?" The apothecary's guard asked back when Caramel was about to pay for the item he bought.
Caramel nodded and thrust out three pieces a hundred thousand and one sheet ten thousand.
"Thank you, the money's right." The pharmacy guard presented a test pack that had been wrapped in plastic to Caramel.
The fitting? of course, Caramel has memorized the price of this type of test pack. He has almost rivaled the pharmacy guard because he memorized the price of each type of test pack here.
Caramel deliberately slowed his steps when in fact he wanted to fly to get to the apartment immediately. But Caramel tried to hold back and did not want to learn from his experience so far.
"Caramel afternoon, are you home?" A woman in her 40s greeted Caramel as she passed by the corridor of the apartment.
"Yes Aunt Erni, where are you going?" Caramel replied to the greeting of the woman who became a neighbor next to his apartment. The woman he calls Aunt Erni has been Caramel's next-door neighbor for the past few months.
When Joni and Anna are found out about staying there because of Rama's man to monitor Caramel, the police ask them to leave the apartment and are sanctioned. Now the apartment was occupied by Erni, her husband and two children who did not know Rama at all. Because since the incident of sexual harassment is known by almost all apartment residents, they ask the apartment to be more selective when accepting tenants or buyers who want to live there.
"You go on vacation first, count the honeymoon who knows who gets a third child back home." Erni giggled shyly when mentioning the third child. He was carrying a large suitcase.
"Where are you going on vacation, Auntie?"
"To Malaysia."
"Well far away too Auntie, long dong."
"Yes have not been a vacation for a long time, if the husband is not asked every day where to go a long vacation, we as wives must be more chatty."
They laughed out loud then immediately shut their mouths after realizing their voices filled the corridor.
"If so Aunt went first, the children with her Papa have been waiting below."
"Yes Aunt, be careful."
"Later Auntie bawain by ya." Erni waved at Caramel then turned into the elevator.
"Now isn't it?" Caramel looks at the wall clock as it enters the apartment. "Yes, Rafka is not home yet."
Caramel placed her briefcase on the bed and stepped towards the bathroom. Caramel feels better using a test pack when she is alone at home because if anyone knows other than herself, Caramel feels the burden increases.
"Don't be tense, just plain." Caramel tried to calm herself down even though it was useless, she waited for a while after dripping urine on the test pack.
"Mama!"
"Rafka." Caramel was surprised to hear Rafka coming. But what makes Caramel surprised is the + sign on the test pack in his hand, Caramel's eyes rounded and blinked several times.
Is this real or am I hallucinating.
"Father!" Caramel yelling at + sign it's really real.
Hearing that Rafka immediately ran to the room in panic, she was afraid something bad happened to Caramel.
"What's wrong?" Rafka goes into the bathroom.
"Pa, I'm pregnant again!" Caramel got up from the closet she had been sitting in for a few minutes.
Rafka glued to see the test pack in the hands of Caramel, he saw a positive sign there.
Caramel cried when she saw that Rafka's face had been soaked by tears. He rarely saw Rafka crying like that. One of them was when Rafka accompanied Caramel in the operating room. Rafka cries more when happy.
"We'll keep it together." Rafka closed her eyes and kissed Caramel's lips. Her tears were dripping down Caramel's lips, it was a haru cry that Rafka could not express with words.
"Welcome to Mama's belly, don't be naughty yeah, so good boy, don't hurt Mama." Rafka crouched down to kiss Caramel's flat stomach and rubbed it gently. "We need to see a doctor." Rafka.
Caramel nodded, checking the womb early is recommended to detect whether there are abnormalities in the fetus. Caramel hopes the baby is okay until delivery later and then grows big and healthy.
Caramel's patience bore fruit, it felt like a dream to have another fetus in her stomach. Caramel was impatient to see the development of the fetus and met him.
******
The good news is that Caramel is pregnant to the ears of Caramel and Rafka's parents. The next day after Caramel finished checking her pregnancy in the hospital, Caramel's parents and Rafka's mother came to visit the apartment. They wanted to be near Caramel to give him some encouragement and forget his sadness in the past. However, they do not intend to forget Arnesh instead they will always put Arnesh in their hearts so that Caramel can continue his life as before.
"Why did the doctor say?" Mama Caramel asked first, she could not wait to hear the news of Caramel during the examination earlier.
Caramel smiled broadly looking at Rafka before answering her mama's question.
"The doctor said the baby was healthy." Caramel finally answered.
"The doctor also said Caramel should not work too hard and lift too heavy a load because the pregnancy distance from the cesarean section is only 7 months to avoid the wound re-opening." Rafka.
Those were the two answers that made them smile and worry at one time.
"You guys just calm down, Rafka's the most alert husband, he won't let me do the hard work." Caramel could imagine how Rafka would treat him after this.
"Caramel, for a few months you better not go to the Mall, do everything from home." Tukas mama Rafka's.
How could Caramel just stay at home, not a few months, one day he could not afford. Caramel prefers to do outdoor activities. But for the sake of her pregnancy, Caramel will reduce her activities outside the home.
"Umm Caramel would like to say thank you, maybe it's too late but I need to say this to Papa and Mama." Caramel sees her parents and Rafka's mother sitting in front of her.
They were tense waiting for Caramel's next sentence because Caramel's face was very serious.
Caramel grabbed Rafka's hand and grabbed her, "thank you for setting us up."
Rafka was shocked by Caramel's words.
"Thank you Mama and Papa have known me as the most patient man in the world." Caramel saw her parents. Then mama Rafka, "thank you Mama has given birth and raised Rafka to be a good man who loves me amazingly." Caramel is so grateful to have met a man as good as Rafka. He used to always curse in the heart and even called Rafka as a robot so his feet a Rafka. But over time Rafka has become a romantic husband that makes Caramel fall in love many times again and again with all Rafka's treatment of her.
"Maybe if I didn't know Rafka until now, I'd still be Caramel who doesn't know what his purpose in life is, Rafka saved my life."
Caramel could not imagine what his life would be like if he did not meet this stiff and innocent man. They are united by many opposing properties to complement each other. Their life background is also different. Caramel comes from a family who raised her with affection and warmth. While Rafka had to fight hard since childhood beat ego for the sake of his family. He lives in a family that is filled with quarrels every day and his cheating papa and choose the woman of his affair. All of that makes Rafka a stiff person. Rafka learned a lot from her parents' story that she would always treat Caramel as best she could. Rafka will love Caramel with all her heart, soul and body.
Rafka rubbed the back of Caramel's hand moved with the words of his wife.
"Mama did not think that Rafka who used to be stiff can be romantic with you." Mama Rafka.
"Rafka is indeed a stiff Ma, after marriage I used to express love with her."
"really?" Mama Rafka turns her back on Caramel's parents.
"That's not true Ma." Rafka shook her head, he pinched Caramel's back slowly for leaking such a thing to their parents. "I've even been sending love letters to Caramel ever since she was in high school."
Mama Rafka and mama Caramel laughed because they had known their stories in the past. A misunderstanding that occurred for years and only revealed after Caramel and Rafka married.
"What is this missing?" Papa Caramel frowned not understanding the meaning of their laughter.
"Well, Mom will tell you the story at home." Tukas mama Caramel on her husband.
"It's not fair." Papa Caramel's protest made the others laugh.
