At the age of 6 months pregnant, Rita got an offer to fill out a cooking show on one of the TV cable. Rita shows the contract she will sign to Daniel, her husband
“Yang, are you busy?” Rita approaches Daniel who is sketching jewelry on his desk
“It's done, what's up?” she asked, drawing Rita to approach him
“Can you help me to learn this employment contract?” he gave me some neatly printed paper. Daniel read the contract title at a glance
“How to cook on TV Cook Chanel, are you sure?” tannya
“I want to try it anyway, the initial contract for 4 episodes, the shooting time is not every day and not until night”
“You said about your pregnant condition?”
“Iya already, they said no problem. This is just a pilot episode. They will wait for the viewers response, whether they like it is not”
“Why are you suddenly interested? It's on TV!”
“Yes, but only cable TV, not national TV. So I think most viewers are just subscribed to”
“Hmm...come here, sit here!” Daniel gave another chair to his wife. Now they face each other
“Tell me, the real reason you want to fill this TV show” Daniel looked his wife in the eye sharply. Rita looked the other way to cover her nervousness. She always felt nervous when looking directly at her husband
“hmm..actually, I intend to rent a place next to my shop. When I brought him here, he said my shop was too tight and too narrow. He saw some young people standing in front of my shop eating bread and drinking from my shop. He proposed, why not be converted into the concept of cafe only but open kitchen. I think it's a good idea”
“hmm...then?” Daniel nodded
“Then I asked the rental price of the store next door, and the cost to renovate it. The cost is pretty big. I could've used your savings, but then I got this offer. If calculated the fee is good enough to add to the renovation of shop”
“Hmm..if I invest how? let me pay for the rent next door and the renovation” Daniel said
“No need ah!”
“Why? I'm your husband, it's much safer to do business with the closest people, right?”
“You never read about divorced husbands when they do business together? I don't want that. For me, this bakery is my personal project, anyone, whether you, mom, grandpa, or brother Andi should not interfere, unless I ask for help”
“That's why you only give 15% of the store stock?” asked Daniel again, Rita nodded.
“Are you not going to be exhausted?” ask Daniel to worry
“I've explained my condition to Vicky, she's the producer of this show, she's also a mother. He said, filming will not be too solid. Because we only make recordings that are not live, so it will not be heavy.”
“so yeah? alright. But promise me, if you're exhausted. Better distop the filming!”
“I promise!” Rita greeted her husband while laughing happily
“Good. I learned this contract first. When should you hand it over?”
“At the latest a week at the earliest three days I have to notify Vicky”
“Alright, oh yes, how do you know Vicky ?”
“Vicky is one of the parents of a student at his son Eddy's school that I went to last month. He tried the bread sample I gave him. Then he came to the store and invited me to chat and talk about this cooking program”
“Crue? There is only a way to promote, because you are also very generous with giving samples, so the goodness returns to you”, said Daniel smiled
“Yes, I didn't expect it either. I got deg-deg to hear his offer”
“hahaha.i also follow deg-degan. I can't imagine my wife will appear on TV” said Daniel proudly
“I'm glad you don't mind, I thought you'd really mind”
“Kan, I promised before we got married first, won't get in the way of your ideals?”
“Ah yes too! You're so nice, hopefully next huh ?” This time it was Rita who kissed her husband.
“I learned this contract first huh?”
“Yes, thank you very much!”
Two days later, at breakfast
“Yang, I've finished reading the contract, as they say. This contract is for 4 episodes, there are no additional episodes unless there is a contract extension. Shooting time is not on holidays, not until the night and not every day. More on per-episode pricing. “
“You think I can ask for an honor ride?”
“Don't try these 4 episodes first. If viewers like, you can set the price as you like!”
“Really?”
“Sure!, oh yes, O has started working on projects in the apartment, it seems like he has started to get used to”, said Daniel while eating fried rice
“Is he still using the translator?”
“Iya still!, he had asked permission for me so that you are the translator”
“Then you rejected it?”
“Of course!, I said Rita should not be exhausted, I am worried about her pregnancy, anyway I do not like you linger in the property” division
“Why?”
“Yaaaaa,.I heard some bad rumors about Martin's treatment on his female staff”
“oya? Harassment so?”
“Once, just a rumor anyway. I only heard a few from a few people during my meal at the canteen”
“You ate in the cafeteria?”
“Yes, I had lunch in the cafeteria!”
“Aduuhhh...I forgot to make you lunch!” Rita panicked, she rushed to open the refrigerator to make provisions
“Do not bother Yang!, sorry I do not doubt your cooking!, I am a fan of your cooking, really!. It's just that with me having lunch in the cafeteria, I can get closer to my staff. If you bring provisions from home, I must eat alone in the room.” Daniel hugged his wife from behind.
“So yeah? all right!, I'm afraid you feel I ignored” Rita turned her body to face her husband
“No!,.if ignored I will protest! Is it, son? Papi will protest to mami!” Daniel lowered his body and hugged Rita's stomach which began to look bloated
“Hahaha..your papa is-it's just fine Nak!” Rita stroked her husband's hair. Daniel got up then to the sink to brush his teeth, after which he picked up his suit and bag and hugged and kissed his wife
“I leave ya?”, Rita deliver until the apartment door
“Be careful huh?”.
After tidying up their former breakfast, he prepared to go to the store. He contacted the show's producers.
At 10 a.m., the show's producer Vicky and his assistant Tony came to D’Ritz
“Please sit!” Rita invited them to sit down, and signaled to her employees to provide coffee and bread for their guests
“Hmm..the coffee is a pleasure, to be honest. I immediately get inspiration about this event after drinking coffee here” said Vicky
“Really? Thank you.” Rita smiled proudly
“So you've learned the contract?” ask Vicky
“Already, and I'm happy to accept your offer!”
“How good!, Tony get me the contract?” vicky Pinta. Tony immediately opened his bag and issued the original contract
“Shortly yes?” Rita compares the contract Vicky brought in and the contract he was given earlier. Every page he checked, he gave a paraf.
“Alright, so I stay signature here huh?”
“Iya!, tomorrow we start filming. At 9am the driver will come to pick you up for the set, so please get ready before that hour huh?” vicky
“Alright!” Rita smiled
“I want to buy some bread for in the office” said Vicky
“Ah!! I've prepared for you!” Rita gives 2 boxes of bread to Vicky and Tony
“Wahh...thank you very much! As the name suggests you are really Darmawan!”
“Ah yes, I forgot. Can I use a stage name? And not his real name?”
“Oh, of course, what do you want to call?”
“Rita Kang!, Kang is my husband's last name”
“Ohh! See you tomorrow!” Vicky and Tony left the store
At night, after the prayer Isya Daniel was still busy in his study
“Yang!” call Rita
“Ya?”
“You are still a long time?”
“Why?” Daniel's still typing on his laptop
“I slept first huh? tomorrow's the first day of filming!”
“Alright!” Daniel continues his work, while Rita goes straight to sleep.
The next morning, Rita had been neatly dressed. She also had breakfast with her husband.
“What time did you get picked up?”
“Jam 9”
“Still another hour, you can still rest”
“Nothing I've had enough rest, last night I was asleep at 7. So I've had enough sleep”
“You look so excited huh?” Daniel sipped his coffee
“Iya!.I can't wait. Actually I'm a little worried but I remember your message, don't be too overthinking. So I'm just santuy!”
“Yes right!, oh yes when is the schedule to see a doctor again?”
“I've made an appointment this Saturday”
“Iya yes? but you also have to be ready to stay up. Said newborn babies usually sleep is not regular” said Rita while stroking her stomach

“Waah...What is his mother?” ask Rita jealous

“Yang, last month when I ultrasound I was curious about the gender of this baby, uh it turned out to be the closure of the baby's thigh. So not caught deh”
“Hahaha..maybe this kid wants to say Surprise!!!!”

“Can we?”
“But there is a coke, case. His wife was pregnant, uh her husband was vomiting aka nyidam. Said her husband was so dear it was the same wife”
“So if the husband does not nyidam means does not love his wife?” daniel was a bit offended
“hehehe...who knows right?” rita Goda
“I...” suddenly Daniel's face became serious
“Yang! Don't be so serious, I'm kidding!” rita said, she was a little afraid to see her husband's face turn serious
“I'm afraid..if the birth of this child I can lose you. Or I have to choose that child or my wife.wah..don't get to deh!” Daniel went back to sipping his coffee
“Kok so you are now overthinking? May his birth be smooth, I am also diligent yoga and dieting. However, if the mother is healthy this baby is also healthy right?”, Daniel smiled to see his wife's face that is increasingly glow up in this pregnancy
“It looks like his daughter deh” he said
“Know where?” ask Rita wonder
“Soalya mama looks more beautiful than usual, said people usually her daughter!” said Daniel,
“Ah you could have praised!” Rita smiled happily
Daniel took his coat and bag and kissed his wife on the forehead
“Be careful yes!” rita smiled
“I'm leaving!”
At 9 am, Rita is picked up by the driver and takes him somewhere. It's dressed up, it's reading the script today“
“Rita, meet this Zanet, he will be the main chef!” vicky introduced
“It's nice to meet you!” rita said, they shook hands. Rita recognized Zaneta as one of the chefs who became the champion of 2 cooking championships that are quite famous on TV.
“I've tried the bread from your shop, yesterday Vicky brought and gave it to me, tasty and soft. I didn't think the chef was so young”
“Thank you for the compliment, I also admire your cooking, some I make it at home and my husband loves it”
“hah? You're married?” Zaneta was surprised
“Iya already, we are waiting for the birth of little” Rita showing her stomach
“wahh..I am amazed that now there are still people who marry young” said Zaneta
“Yahh..so!” Rita was embarrassed.
“Well let's start filming!” Vicky gave the orders. Zaneta helped Rita make the most easy recipes. Filming went well, at three in the afternoon filming was over. Rita is ready to go home
“Good work Rita! I'll call you later for the next shoot!” vicky patted his back
“I go home first friends!” Zaneta said, she looks so happy that filming is over.
The driver drove Rita back to the apartment, Rita asked to be dropped off at her shop.
“Thank you !” he said to the driver who drove him, then he went into his shop
“Halooo..sapanya to its employees, employees there are 5 people, 3 men and 2 women. Ishmael became his supervisor
“Sore bu!” greet Ishmael, he brought the proceeds of the seller this afternoon.
“Hmm...Is the dough still a lot?” ask Rita
“Leave a little bu” replied Ismael
“Can I finish at 8pm tonight?” ask Rita
“It looks like it will run out before 8” said Ismael
“What's the order still much?” ask Rita
“Which messages online through the application is still a lot of bu, but as I see, the stock in this store is starting to run out, while guests continue to arrive”
“Hmm...alright!” Rita went into the kitchen, she weighed some ingredients, then put them in the stirring machine. After a few minutes, the bread dough was finished. He put it in a damp room to expand.
“I prayed first” he left the kitchen and went to his room to pray. A few minutes later he checked the sale this afternoon.
“tok-tok-tok” sound door room is knocked
“Ya?”
“Bu, the dough is up.” Ishmael
“Stock in store is also empty?”

“You can tell the ones waiting in line to wait? And record their orders. Oh yes put a sign to close in front of the store so that no one else comes to order!”
“Good ma'am!”
With a swift Rita, returned to the kitchen and checked the dough he had made, he said,
“It's quite fluffy, alright!” he began to move the bread dough and give it to his employees for printing. About 40 minutes later, the bread was finished, each customer got his order.
“Eh this bread is much tastier than usual!” said one of the customers who immediately ate it while out of the store.
Rita heard it, she tried the bread that had just ripened
“hmm...really, more delicious than usual” He deliberately made it excess from the order, some he distributed to his employees, some he took home.
At 6 pm she arrived at the apartment, she saw her husband had gone to the mosque to pray maghrib.
After cleaning, he prepared dinner. The super-sophisticated cookware in his home helped him cook quickly. After all the ingredients he put in, he left it to pray maghrib. Dinner was readily available when Daniel arrived from the mosque after the Isha prayer.
“What time are you home today?” ask Rita
“At 5, I went through your shop I was going to take you out to eat, but I saw there were still a lot of customers in the store. So I undo it and go straight home”
“So I finished filming at 3, I went home to the store. Our orders are getting more and more. Uh the one I brought the bread I just made, try it!” he gave her bread, after they had dinner.

“More delicious than usual?” ask Rita
“Iya, which is usually delicious, but this is more tasty”
“Padahal already not hot huh?”
“Yes, I want to eat again, there?”
“This!, it was left 2”
“I ate ya?” Daniel opened his package and ate it voraciously, Rita smiled watching her husband eat. He thought the reason for the bread was better.
At 8 p.m., Daniel just came out to take out the trash. He was going to lock the apartment door
