That afternoon after work Rafka did not immediately return to the apartment because he had to complete a special mission of buying make-up for Caramel. Rafka thinks he has understood Caramel after being a secret admirer for a dozen years. But he is wrong because actually the woman is more complicated than trigonometric or integral formula let alone Rafka is in the IPS department first.
From a distance Rafka saw Indi standing in front of Sephora, he sped up even half a run towards Indi. Rafka wants to get this over with because she doesn't want to make Caramel suspicious if he comes home late.
"And you're not coming?" Ask Rafka to Indi.
"Again the toilet, let's go in. Mas." Invite Indi again there is no point also waiting for Danu because her husband will not be much help unless he wants make-up then Danu is the source of the currency. "You want to buy me Caramel what, uh her dresser has been photographed, right?" Yesterday Indi had asked Rafka to take a photo of Caramel's make-up collection so she could figure out what make-up brand Caramel likes.
"Here, nih." Rafka thrust her phone featuring a photo of a row of Caramel make-up on her dresser.
"There are some high end products but mostly local, local products are now also good."
"Yesterday Caramel had mentioned that she wanted to have lipstick that she said could hold all day, she showed me the picture."
"Well, that's easier." Indi returned Rafka's phone because he already quite understood the make-up products that Caramel likes.
"But I don't remember what brand it is." Rafka's forehead is wrinkled, despite trying to remember the brand of lipstick that Caramel mentioned yesterday but he still forgot. The name is quite difficult to pronounce with the tongue.
"Bak Caramel said lipstick?" Raised Indian eyebrows make sure that it is lipstick not lip cream, liptint, lip tattoo or other lip lip lip.
Rafka shook her head in doubt, "lip tint?"
Indi stepped up confidently, he believes Caramel is talking about lip tint products that have just come out this month, it is a local brand Make Over that is already famous because the formula is good.
"It's not?" Indi took a liptint with black color that says Make Over.
"true." Rafka mangosteen, it is not wrong he invited Indi here because there is no need to be confused looking here and there they can immediately find the product he meant. Actually Rafka can also invite Jane or Kayla who knows more about Caramel's favorite products. But Rafka knows that the two friends of Caramel was chatty for mercy let alone their talent about tracking is very extraordinary. Rafka doesn't want to hear their taunts for buying Caramel make-up.
"Gue find you everywhere here." Danu comes up with a typical mom-and-mom nag at the end of the month who has run out of shopping money.
"Mas Danu how the hell am I the same Mas Rafka who wants to come here." Indi does not want to lose to nag. "Want to buy something else?"
"Eye coloring." Rafka always sees Caramel using dye for her eyelids.
"I know what Caramel likes, Urban Decay." Once again Indi stepped first to leave two men behind him, he had memorized the ins and outs of Sephora because this was one of his favorite places besides the food court of course.
They continued to buy other make-up equipment even after coming home from here Rafka could open his own salon so much that he bought. Indi also drooled to see a row of make-up so that he could not go home empty-handed. Indi uses death to seduce Danu into buying him the same liptint as Caramel.
"Thank you, you've helped me buy all of this." Rafka slightly raised the two black and white paper bags in her hand.
"May Ma'am Cara likes it the same all her make-up but I'm sure she'll like it."
They split up at the cashier at that time because Indi and Danu still want to go around while Rafka must go home soon. Caramel had called him but Rafka did not answer him on purpose to surprise his wife.
******
Caramel throws her phone on the bed after Rafka does not answer her phone for the umpteenth time. The wall clock shows that at half 5 Rafka should have been home since half an hour ago. Caramel glanced at Narel and Binar who were asleep in the box.
The bell of the apartment clinked and Caramel immediately ran towards the door to open it. Caramel's face changed when he saw Aunt Erni at the door, he thought it was Rafka but it was impossible for Rafka to hit the bell when he could press the password.
"Eh Aunt when's the date?" Caramel instantly changed her expression with a Pepsodent smile instead of a Close-Up let alone a codomo. "I don't think Auntie's coming back here anymore." They hugged me for a while and then cipika cipiki.
"Last night Aunty until here, in Malaysia we also have a house, Aunt's husband has a business so must wait a year can go home." Aunt Erni thrusts the parcel at Caramel.
"Eh no need Caramel, Aunt want to share souvenirs to other neighbors first, next time we chat while chatting beautiful." Aunt Erni flicked her hand and left because there were still many parcels that she had not shared with other neighbors.
Caramel again closed the door after Aunt Erni was nowhere to be seen. Caramel was surprised when she turned around and suddenly Rafka emerged from the elevator, she almost just screeched if Rafka did not immediately close her mouth. Caramel said, what the fuck should he be nagging because Rafka came home late and did not pick up the phone. But Caramel's emotions instantly subsided as Rafka kissed her lips.
My crazy robot is now really crazy!
"Kok you don't pick up my phone anyway, say cake if you want to go home late." Of course Caramel still nagged even in a low voice for fear of making the twins wake up.
Rafka did not deny that he had pulled Caramel into the living room. Rafka can not wait to show the make-up he bought with difficulty—although there is Indi but he thinks choosing make-up is something tiring.
"What's this?" Caramel only realized that from earlier Rafka brought a large paper bag that read Sephora, do not tell Rafka to come home late because he went to Sephora first.
"I bought this for you, but don't think that I don't like you without makeup, I like whatever your circumstances"
Caramel's eyes glazed over as Rafka pulled out one by one the make-up.
"You're so good." Caramel slammed into Rafka's arms and kissed her husband's neck that smelled of a car mixed with mall— scentyou know what mall smells like?
"Whatever makes you happy, baby."
Caramel parsing hugs. Rafka wiped her tears with her thumb.
"Thank you Papa." Caramel also rubbed his tears, it was a tear because Rafka was very good to him. Indeed, from the first meeting Rafka was too good for Caramel. "I won't buy make-up for a year." Said. "Hug again." Caramel hugged Rafka back so tightly.
Rafka smiled, of course it was impossible because Caramel had said it first and a week later Caramel still bought new make-up.
"You take a shower, I've prepared food for you."
"okay." Rafka immediately moved without being asked, his stomach was hungry since he was in the mall, but he refused Danu's invitation to eat there because he knew Caramel would cook for him.
Caramel cooks sweet spicy chicken and sauteed pakcoy mixed with bean sprouts. Caramel does not know if pakcoy and bean sprouts will be suitable if cooked together, he only makes a combination of cooking with ingredients in the refrigerator.
After Rafka took a bath they dined together at the dinner table, Narel and Binar who had woken up were in their stroller near Caramel's chair.
"You cook bean sprouts three days in a row, Ma." Rafka ate his food voraciously while occasionally seeing Narel and Binar actively kicking on their stroller.
"Fear of bad hunting if not cooked quarry, after all he said a good bean sprouts for fertility."
Rafka almost choked on hearing Caramel's words, he just found out that there are foods that affect fertility.
"But we're fertile." Rafka's face made Caramel laugh. Rafka is confused as to why his words have always been considered a joke.
"It's okay to be more fertile."
"Kids are small."
"Joking around." Caramel tried to stop his laughter, Rafka was the least he could joke about. "But when will we have a fourth child?"
"Five more years maybe." Rafka hasn't thought about it because the boys are 3 months old. Rafka is also not ready to see Caramel's distress with an enlarged stomach.
