My husband is not the CEO
Eighty Nine
Rafka hugs Caramel from behind looking at his wife's body through the reflection of a mirror in front of them. Caramel rubbed the back of Rafka's hand, picking clothes to go to a meeting with Leo who has been a professional designer for Caramel Sleepwear for the past month.
Initially Caramel did draw his own design for Caramel Sleepwear products but after the business was growing rapidly, he sought professional designers so that the products could touch the wider market. So those who have no taste in Caramel can also wear pajamas from Caramel Sleepwear.
"It looks like Pineapple is happy to be touched like this." Rafka rubs Caramel's distended stomach. Rafka could feel Pineapple's movements on Caramel's stomach as he rubbed her.
"Pineapple said good morning to Papa."
"By also Pineapple." Rafka pecks Caramel's stomach.
Caramel's gestational age is 20 weeks but because there are two fetuses in there, her stomach looks bigger compared to her first pregnancy.
"Papa help me pick up a shirt." Caramel turned her back to see Rafka.
"Where's the meeting with Leo today?" Rafka tidied Caramel's hair a little messy because he put his face there just now.
"Pigeonhole, Jane who picked the place after that me, Jane and Kayla want to go to the salon, we haven't been to the salon together for a long time."
"If so wear a loose canal so you're comfortable moving around."
Caramel broke a hug between them and opened one of the cupboard doors where she kept all of her carry-on clothes.
"Which one?"
Rafka looks at Caramel's clothing collection seriously, as Caramel always chooses clothes for her every day so Rafka should also be able to do it occasionally.
"Today it's sunny until the afternoon, white won't make you hot."
Quietly Caramel smiled choosing a white dress with a little flower pattern on his arm. Rafka's opinion will always be related to the weather that day. As Caramel asks what he wants to eat tomorrow, Rafka will answer 'tomorrow rain, cook chicken soup only' and other simple questions.
"That's great." Rafka gave an opinion on the white A line dress that Caramel chose.
"Okay, I'm wearing this." Caramel pulled the bathrobe strap she was wearing to change clothes.
"Later the doctor will tear this part again?" Rafka touches Caramel's scar on the lower abdomen.
"Yes." Yeah." Caramel nodded lowering the bathrobe to the floor. "Oh yeah, because I had a meeting with Leo I went to the salon with Jane and Kayla."
Rafka nodded allowing Caramel to go to the salon, "be careful." He took a step forward to pull out Caramel's dress zipper.
"Thank you dear." Caramel stared at Rafka intensely and gave a kiss to her husband's chin. Caramel's hands stretched out to stroke Rafka's back with a sensual gesture.
"Don't." Rafka held Caramel's hand.
"Why?" Caramel pouted, why could she not do that to her own husband.
"Don't or we won't go."
Caramel laughed, "of course you can be absent, it's your Monday."
"Can't." Rafka immediately exited the walk in closet before Caramel again teased him. He can at least be teased in the morning like this or they don't go to work. Especially since Caramel was pregnant, Rafka felt the woman was more enchanting.
Caramel came out of the walk in closet after finishing dressing, he found the figure of Rafka was inserting a box of supplies in the paper bag.
Seeing Caramel, Rafka immediately draped her briefcase to the door. He took a white sneaker from Caramel.
"Let's sit down." Rafka slightly pushed Caramel's shoulder sitting on the side chair of the shoe rack, he squatted on the floor and fitted the shoes for Caramel. Without being asked Rafka knew that Caramel could not duck because his stomach began to prop up.
They exit the apartment with their cars because Caramel has other affairs outside.

The decoration of Pigeonhole changed slightly compared to when Caramel came here last time. The hangout is a historic place for Caramel and Rafka because they first met here. If you remember that now Caramel can smile on her own because of Rafka's stiff and sweet behavior at the end for leaving an umbrella for her before going home. It feels like Caramel wants to tell the whole world that it is very fun to have a husband who works at BMKG. Caramel felt a different sensation compared to him when he got sweet treatment from Rama first. If Caramel can liken Rafka's attitude to Stevia—manis but not make him diabetic.
Caramel woke up from her daydream when someone called to her at the door. Caramel sees Leo coming with Jane behind her.
"Kok y'all come together?" Caramel shook the hand of Leo—a man of Rafka's age who always amazed him with his pajama designs.
"No, it just so happened to be together." Jane pulls up the seat, joins Caramel, followed by Leo.
"Gue hasn't pesen, you guys are waiting for you." Caramel allowed Leo to order drinks and snacks there.
They ordered Sonic Boom and Almond Croissant to accompany the meeting today. Caramel will make pajamas for children due to the large demand of consumers. Caramel thinks it might be funny too if she, Rafka and her children will wear the same pajamas for the photoshoot later.
"This is the design I drew yesterday, Caramel wants the motif is not too rame even though this is for children." Leo showed me his tablet featuring a pajama design.
"I like it." Caramel nodded, Leo did always make a design that fits his wishes so that one picture then Caramel will immediately agree. "What's a good material for these pajamas?"
"You said you wanted better material than adult pajamas."
Caramel nodded, he wanted a material that was comfortable to wear for a small child.
"We use high quality linen."
"Where's Jane?" Caramel turned to Jane for an opinion.
"Can." Jane nodded.
They discussed other things related to the pajamas the child would release in the next few months. Caramel wanted to finish it before she gave birth.

As planned after a meeting with Leo in Pigeonhole, Caramel and Jane go to the salon with Kayla waiting for them there. Caramel wants to creambath and paint her nails.
"Eh the Progenitor, why should I meet here anyway?" Jane whispers to Caramel when she sees Elsa in one of the salon chairs.
"Fuckin' progeny, you love changing people's names." Caramel replied to Jane's sentence with a whisper.
"Know not the people who seek problems in your life are always the figures of the Progen, well that Elsa continues the yesterday Anna, it is complete."
"Udah diem." Caramel smothered Jane's mouth to stop talking.
The three of them sat on the chairs that had been provided. Three salon employees each cut their toenails after providing a moisturizer and soaked them in warm water for 15 minutes.
"Mom's feet are swollen?" The salon employee who was cutting Caramel's nails looked up at Caramel.
Caramel saw his legs, and he didn't realize they were swollen. While pregnant Arnesh Caramel's legs were swollen since the age of 20 weeks.
"It's okay, just cut his nails."
"You guys here too?" Elsa walked up to Caramel, Jane and Kayla, flapping her hair that seemed to have just finished dyeing.
"Why? can't you, this is your aunt's salon?" Jane's nyolot, she doesn't like dealing with that woman named Elsa anymore. Although Elsa does not flirt with Jane's husband, Jane's best friend gets angry when Elsa interferes with Caramel and Rafka's domestic life.
"Obviously, how hard." Elsa rolled her eyeballs.
They saw the arrival of the man in a suit who was immediately greeted by Elsa.
"Goodbye, come get me." Elsa embraced the man and kissed his lips.
Caramel, Jane and Kayla who saw it turned upside down because Elsa did the kiss scene in public. They are indeed a couple but it is unethical to indulge in public intimacy.
They immediately turned their eyes the other way as Elsa finished her kiss. Caramel thinks maybe Elsa deliberately showed her partner to them to make Caramel relieved. But actually Caramel is not so disturbed by the existence of Elsa who tries to attract the attention of Rafka because he believes Rafka will not be affected.
