Eat Fruit

Happy reading

***

Joe laid his body on the bed next to Shinta. Then grabbed his wife as if he did not want Shinta to move away from him even a little.

"I love you, honey." whispered Joe behind Shinta's ear.

"Euhmmm." Shinta's voice stretched her body. He opened his eyes quickly. Feeling Joe's big hand wobbling in his stomach. He blinked his eyes quickly. Rubbing the tail of her watery eyes. Shinta opened her eyes wide, looking to the side.

"Mas," call Shinta raspy.

"Hmm."

"You're home yet?" shinta asked, rubbing Joe's hair gently.

"Hmmm. Why are you awake? Let's go to sleep again." Joe's still closed. Wrapped her hands around Shinta's stomach even closer.

"Have you eaten?"

"not yet. But not hungry either."

"I want to eat fruit." shinta said, she was ashamed to say this. But he thought he wanted to eat fruit.

"You hungry?" ask Joe wonder. If you are hungry, it is better to eat a little carb so that you are full.

Shinta nodded slowly. Shinta shuffled up, then leaned on the head of the bed. Joe follows Shinta to wake up.

"Want to eat rice?"

"No want! Want fruit!" shinta's sulk poked her lips.

"Oh yeah, you said buy martabak. Have you eaten honey?"

Shinta shakes. Staring at Joe with puppy eyes. Shy smile.

"I want some fruit, can Joe bring it to the room now?" Why ask so many questions, want fruit! The point!

"Hmmm. Alright. Wait a minute." The cup! A warm kiss managed to land perfectly on Shinta's forehead. Leaving a blushing face Shinta who was hugging the bolster.

Shinta savored that bowl of fruit voraciously. There are strawberry pieces, dragon fruit, kiwi fruit and apples. Cut small. If given a little vegetable oil has become a fruit salad.

Glug. Joe gulped, mute. Joe looked in wonder at Shinta. Then Joe turned his face away. The nausea reappeared. He also went into the bathroom.

I usually have to force him to eat fruit. Now he is even greedy eating fruit might even eat his bowl too. Ah, I was nauseous to see the fruits mixed in the bowl. It looked strange and stirred my stomach. Good thing I could wake up to prepare the piece of fruit. Hoick.

"Asih, prepare a bowl of fruit" said Joe when he arrived in front of Asih's room. Asih had just turned off all the lights after opening the door for her master. Now, his orders make Asih so confused. The fruit? Nights like this? Seriously?

Staring at his master in wonder. But he still does. Open the fridge. Slowly peel the fruit one by one. Several times he yawned because his sleepiness had to be disturbed by Joe's return.

"No. This is enough. Rest."

Joe came back from the bathroom, sitting on the edge of the bed. Grabbing martabak box. Proffering into Shinta's lap.

"Why is the hammer still full? There are even three martabaks in the kitchen."

"It's cold. I don't want to."

"Why didn't you just eat?"

"No appetite." Because seeing the test pack Anin gave me, my appetite for martabak was down instantly. At first, it will taste good martabak. Especially those with gelato cream cheese.

"Yes already. Now go to sleep."

"Wait for the mas,"

"Why?"

"Hmmm. I'm telling Joe that I'm pregnant how?" shinta asked somewhat hesitantly. It was obvious he was sorting out the words to come out of his mouth.

"What?! Pregnant?! Why are you suddenly asking like that?" Joe rises. His voice sounded surprised by Shinta's question which he thought was sudden. Successfully made him flinch.

"Eh? In-this is only if mas. If only I were so pregnant." Shinta. Please don't be angry, her mind.

Glug. Joe had a hard time swallowing his saliva. He panicked at Shinta's question. If he could be honest, he would prance and say, I want to have a lot of kids. Because he is a child only wayang, he is determined to have as many children as possible. But what happened? He was even cool with a wise-ass answer. In a flat voice he said to Shinta, "Yes up to you. No need to be forced if you are not ready. Yeah, I think so."

Whatever huh? It sounds like he doesn't care at all. Does he not want to or like me - not ready to have children now? I was so disappointed to hear it.

"Hmmm. Alright. I'm gonna go to bed. Good night."

"Have a nice dream Honey." The cup!

Shinta drowned her body under the blanket. Joe moved from his seat out to return the martabak in the kitchen.

In the kitchen, he hit his forehead. He felt stupid for what he just said to Shinta.

I shouldn't have said that. I should have said "yes honey, what do you want? two, four, or six? Ten kids is fine. I really want it. Arrggghhhh! Joe ruffled his own hair. Lamenting what he has done.

"Surely she is sad now" he murmured.
