NANDES: HATE TO SEE ME

We are married with a simple celebration and away from public reporting at Dewun's request. Whatever Dew wants I give you. Not many guests were invited only family and close relatives were present. 

When I saw her walking towards me in the wedding dress we chose together, I felt my life was perfect because she chose me to accompany her until the end of her life.  

This is where I stood with my woman, put a ring on her ring finger, and made a faithful promise before her and the Lord. Seeing her smile happily because I was with me made me promise myself I would love and take care of her for the rest of my life. 

A moment came to my mind the events of many years ago when we were teenagers when I first saw them. When I first met her sparkling eyes, it pulled me towards her like a magnet and iron. I would have been very sorry if I hadn't reached out to get acquainted with him in the past. The universe is on my side.

" My name is Nandes", I held out my hand to her.

" Dew", he welcomed my hand.

3 Months after our wedding…

Dew woke up from his sleep in my arms, quickly running towards the bathroom. I was shocked and woke up, my eyes were twitching from waking up all of a sudden. There was a sound coming from the direction of the bathroom. 

 Hoek…. Hoekk

I walked towards the bathroom and intended to come inside. 

" Don't go in" Dew screamed a little.

" Why?", half the door is open. 

" I threw up and it's slovenly. Please don't go in",Prop the whine.

" Okay good. I wait outside", I said as I stood outside the bathroom door. 

10 Minutes passed, Dew came out of the bathroom with a slightly pale face. I looked at him for pity. He walked over to the bed and lay there again. 

Dew is pregnant, the gestation is 5 weeks.  And she's been vomiting every morning for the last week. I'm so sad to see it that way.

I forced Dew to go to the gynecologist and of course she refused on the grounds that this is a common thing for pregnant women. I was the one who was fussing.

I sat down at the end of the bed and gently massaged her legs.  " What can I do to help reduce your nausea and vomiting, dear? Can't we go to the gynecologist or I just bring the gynecologist home?", I started to fuss about the gynecologist again.

Dew massaging his forehead slowly "It's okay baby. Indeed like this early trimester of pregnancy many pregnant women experience things like this. We'll go to the gynecologist on schedule. You get ready to go to the office, there's Nini's mom coming with me and my mom's coming here for a little while".

" But I want to keep you company longer" I stubbornly didn't want to leave Dew alone.

Dew takes a sitting position "Dear can I talk honestly?", Dew seriously.

" yes. Tell. You want something?", I looked at him as my hands continued to massage his legs.

" These few days I actually don't want to see you in the morning. I'm sick of smelling your scent", Dew looked at me in a huff. 

I'm dumbfounded. "Why? Do I smell?", I sniffed my own body, it seemed like my body did not smell. " But last week you were fine with me every morning" I continued to not believe Dew's words.

Dew sighs "His baby will love. I don't even want to see your face right now, especially your lips".

Deg. I was sad to hear those words. The first rejection hurt me.

Adam laughed loudly at my complaint today. I went to his office just to tell him what happened this morning. 

" haha... haha.. so you. ha ha heartbroken because Dew does not want to see you in the morning?", Adam still laughed. 

I took a long breath. " But at night he was looking for me. When the sun came up, he told me to leave. I was so frustrated Adam", I massaged my forehead. 

" I'd go crazy like this. How long will this cravings be over?", I was anxiously waiting for Adam's answer.

" I forgot how long. 3 months? 6 months? Ais ..I'm not a gynecologist. There consult the same obstetrician ", Adam even nagging.

" At least you're more experienced than me", I hired.

" Yes, that's my advice. Just enjoy the process ha ha ha", Adam laughed again. Laughing at me for being rejected by my own wife.

My phone rang while I was sitting in the car to get home. I have to spend a lot of time with Dew at night. 

"Yes Hello dear", I picked up the Dew phone.

"Where are you? I'm so upset", Dew started whining. 

During this pregnancy the puff changes slightly. More spoiled than usual, easy to cry, offended and the most I don't understand is that he always asks to buy food outside the house. Dewun always cooks himself for health reasons and now he calls must want to eat something.

" Dear I'm on my way home. Patience", I answered gently.

" yes. I want to eat a big piece of cotton candy baby", Pinta Dew across the phone.

"Cotton? Ha's? What cotton?", I don't understand. 

" Cotton candy, it's pink. Please buy 2. Must be 2", ask again.

" Cotton candy? Honey is it okay to eat candy night-night?", I'm getting anxious.

" It's okay, baby. It's baby's request. I'm waiting, baby. Thanks yeah. I love you" she said quickly and hung up.

I let out a long sigh "Rian, look for cotton candy, it's pink and it should be 2", I spoke towards Rian who was focusing on driving.

"Good boss", Rian answered obediently with a smile on his face.

" Why are you laughing?", I massaged my forehead slowly. 

" I'm sorry boss. I'm just being happy because of your tightness", Rian chuckled.

I looked at him annoyed "some day you'll feel the same way. Hopefully your wife will crave to make the temple. Just found out what you think", I swear it.

A laugh from Rian. I'm getting sewed.

" Because you dare laugh at me. You have to accept the consequences of Rian", I'm upset.

Rian was speechless "I'm sorry boss", regret in his voice.

" Hard-to-be. From now on all my wife's requests you'll have to look for her. Even if it's a Sunday night ha ha ha", I laugh happily.

" But boss.", Rian wants to protest.

" It's tired of living ya", I threatened.

" Good boss", Rian obediently.

Rasain you're Rian, I won't suffer alone. Simply being rejected by my wife makes me suffer.
