Papa To Kirana

Chapter 69 Take Good Care of You

Mother spooned rice to the Alexa plate, not half-hearted, rice and side dishes were taken almost twice the portion of Rama's meal. Alexa only gulps down the saliva violently while staring at the food in front of her.

“Mother, Alexa is only pregnant, not a building porters,” I said deliberately insinuating Mother.

“Balin, Alexa should eat a lot. So that nutrition is sufficient.”

“But, we've consulted a doctor. And the doctor advised Alexa to eat with a portion of a little but often,” I argue still do not want to lose.

“Iya, Mom. What Balin said was right. I could probably spend this much food,” Alexa added.

“You have eaten, Alexa. If it does not run out, tell Balin to spend,” my father who does not talk much, try to mediate.

Rama who saw the incident could only chuckle, before finally one piece of meat was devoured. But soon he took it out again. Because it turns out that what is eaten is not meat, but galangal.

He cursed softly, glancing at father with anxious expectation. Afraid that he heard her words.

Me, Alexa, and Kirana were staying at my parents' house. As requested by Mother, upon hearing the news Alexa is pregnant.

“Mother has grown in understanding since Alexa became pregnant. This is because Kak Alexa is pregnant with her first granddaughter Mother,” muttered Rama while crying.

“Alexa, I'm telling you to take care of your content as well as possible. Do not stress, do not fatigue, do not lift heavy-weight.”.

And dozens of words 'do not' spoken by Mother with the shortest tempo. Until finally I inhaled a long air, because I was out of breath.

“If you need to tell Balin only, you just fall asleep in bed.”

Alexa just nodded, not to argue.

“Mother doesn't want anything to happen to Mother's first grandchild.”

“First grandson?” my ul.

“So, all this time, I didn't think of Kirana as Mom's granddaughter?”

Deg.

In that instant, the atmosphere turned gripping, as everyone froze, but eyeballs glanced at me and Mother alternately.

I stared in seriousness at Mother who looked calm. Mother did not even return my gaze, the woman who had given birth to me was casually pouring tea into the cup.

Kirana who was sitting next to me turned to me.

“Papa angry?”

So did Rama who leaned forward, and whispered, “Kak, do not be too taken heart! I mean probably, the first grandchild of the Mahendra family line.”

“Papa don't get mad ya?” kirana said again.

I continued eating, but the tension did not seem to have faded. Everyone is silent to each other. There was only the sound of the clanking of plates clashing with the spoon.

Alexa pushed her plate. He clenched his mouth using his palm. I who saw Alexa's reaction, immediately stroked her back.

“I can't afford to spend this meal,” complained Alexa who shifted the plate in front of me. “Balin, you spent ya?”

“What? I'm full too.”

“Sini let me just,” said a chirping sound that is none other than Rama.

“You want, Rama? Is that all right? I only ate three spoonfuls already full nih.”

Rama stared at the food on Alexa's plate. His outstretched hand wanted to take, but I quickly patted hard the back of that hand.

Rama was in pain, shaking and blowing off the part of his hand that I hit. He threw a full question mark.

“What's up, Brother?”

“What's up? You still ask what's wrong? You want to eat used food Alexa.”

“Iya, continues. I don't mind. Unfortunately, that much food is thrown away. Mubazir,”

“That's not the problem. You eat Alexa food marks that means your lips are touching indirectly.”

“Gosh. Brother Balin, I have no intention of taking over Sister Alexa. Just chill. I would have loved to die with Shinta,” kilah Rama.

However, I did not listen to anything that was Rama's reason. We both got Alexa's dinner plates. Like two kids fighting over a toy.

 

***

 

Like my routine every time I go home, I hear Juan's report about Alexa and Kirana's condition during my work. All is safe under control. Similarly, when I checked the CCTV, exactly what Juan said.

Now I have a new activity after work. The room that will be my son's room and Alexa's.

When all the residents of the house sleep, I was busy myself arranging furniture and painting the walls of the room.

“Are you not tired?” alexa asked who was suddenly leaning on the door.

“Alexa,” I said then continued sweeping brushes on the wall.

Alexa came up to me, hugged me from behind, and kissed my back.

“Should we hire the services of an interior designer?” ask Alexa.

“No,” I replied steady. “I have to decorate this room. Especially for our son. By the way our son will be a boy or a girl?”

Alexa who buried her head on my back just muttered, and I ruffled her waist for a moment observing the results of my brushstrokes.

Then I put the paint brush into place. Turn around so I can return the wife's embrace.

“You boy or girl I will definitely love her,” my whisper is soft and kiss Alexa's cheeks.

“But if you want to know the gender of the child in my womb, we can do some kind of DNA test, and it just so happens that Kak Allea suggested we hold a gender revival party.”

“Gender reveal party?” my ul frowned.

Alexa nodded, then explained briefly. Gender revival party, a party held to guess the sex of the baby who is still in the womb.

The doctor will do a kind of DNA test, and the results are not delivered directly to the husband and wife, but the doctor will give a letter to the cake shop telling the gender of the prospective baby.

The store will make the cake according to the instructions of the doctor. If the cake is pink, the test results indicate the sex of the baby girl. If the cake is blue, it means male.

Before the cake, the guests were asked to guess what the gender of the fetus was.

“Parties like this are trending, Honey. I want to make an event like that,” whine Alexa that sank spoiled in my arms.

My hands were itching to pinch her nose, and I did it while showering kisses.

“Yes, we will hold a gender revival party. We invite your family and my family too.”

Alexa chuckles softly, “Your discussion is an extension, Balin. Your family is my family too. So call it our family.”

I nodded in agreement.

“Oh yes, I want to say, lately Kirana so often moody. Maybe because you're busy thinking about our son.”

“Really?” tanyaku.

“Try tomorrow you talk to Kirana, I'm afraid she feels excluded because of the presence of the sister,” said Alexa who now leaned her head to my chest.

“Good. Tomorrow I will talk to Kirana, she must be misunderstood and jealous,” I said briefly.

“Actually it's not just Kirana, I'm jealous too. You don't have time for me.”

I laughed at Alexa's spoiled words. Without any warning, I carried Alexa's body which made her gasp and shriek quietly.

“Then, this whole night will be yours, dear.”

I saw Alexa's body shudder in horror, and she laughed, “I've told you, your voice is terrible when talking romantic words.”

We both chuckled, so I carried her to the main room.

I laid Alexa down slowly, however, she countered by rolling my body to the side. Then it occupied my stomach. Her lentic fingers were very dexterous when she unbuttoned my shirt.

One by one the clothes were stripped, leaving no cloth to cover the bodies of the two of us.

My eyeballs were fixed on Alexa's stomach which now looked enlarged. My hand rubbed it full of tenderness.

“Hai, Son. Take good care of yourself, and in there do not hurt your Mama!”

Alexa chuckled, “Balin, the child is still in the womb you have snapped.”
