Should I Joke (Again)

85. Give and take each other

Since his meeting with dr. Clarisa a few days ago, Rei was diligent in taking the prescribed vitamins.

Rei even often makes juice mixture of fruits and vegetables, initially Rei does not like because of the smell. But after tasting it tastes good, even though it must close life when drinking it.

Rei and Ardan had already returned to their homes, Rei was cleaning up the house as he used to.

Although Ardan had offered her to find a domestic assistant, Rei refused. The reason is as long as there is no baby, he will clean his own house.

Ardan did not want his wife to be exhausted just for taking care of their house, but saw his wife who was stupefied Ardan relented.

They've argued it a lot, and Ardan always loses. Finally rather than him having to lose his ration because his wife was sulking, he chose to just follow his wishes.

Like that time, Rei looked busy here and there starting from wiping the glass of the house, and the entire household. Sweeping, mopping to wash clothes all he does himself.

This holiday Ardan wants to take his wife for a walk and then eat out, but seeing his wife busy himself Ardan so undo his intentions.

Until Ardan could not bear to pick up his wife and take her to the room. Fortunately, all the homework was done, just sweeping the kitchen and laundry room.

Ardan threw Rei on the bed in their room, Rei who was confused because her husband's behavior was just dumb.

"Why the hell, I'm not done with her hair" Rei looked at her husband who was standing with his waist ruffled.

"I'm tired of seeing you from before I didn't stop, there's just being bullied. Not tired yeah, rest cake, sit down, drink. It's not."

Ardan sat on the sofa, still watching his wife who had not yet moved from the place of the fall.

"But let it be clean. If clean is good, sleep is comfortable. Especially yesterday abis left behind long ago."

Rei answered her husband, she did not see how upset the husband was. Ardan is really inexhaustible, his wife is not tired at all, now even more debate.

"I don't want to know, either you stop doing everything yourself or I'll bring a new housekeeper here."

Ardan was upset, the look in his eyes indicated that he could not tolerate his wife. He thought how they could soon have children if his wife was always so exhausted.

"But, I can still do it all myself. Relax, it'll be over." Rei smiled, trying to parse his cahoots.

"Ga there is, that's enough. Now the last time I saw you do all the housework all day without a break like this. There's no protest"

Ardan is still stranded, it feels like he really wants to punish his wife. But looking at Rei who was still indifferent, made him shake his head.

"But I..." Rei

"Well, I married you to be the wife and mother of my children, not my servant."

Ardan uttered with a slight snapping, making Rei startled because only this time did she see her husband like that.

After the debate Ardan came out of the room and slammed the door. Rei was crying, her husband was really angry.

Finally Rei fell asleep after tired of crying, Ardan also did not show himself. He chose to be in another room that simultaneously doubles as his work space.

Rei and Ardan were both aloof, self-instrospection. They even missed dinner.

The next day the two met at the dinner table. Rei was able to digest the meaning of what her husband said yesterday.

He knows he's wrong, too fussy on himself. Rei did not like the messy things in his house, even seeing the slightest dust he immediately cleaned everything.

And her husband was right, she should have put more importance on her health, reduced her activities that made her tired and that would make it even harder to get pregnant soon.

Rei remembered dr. Clarisa and she have admitted wrong. Likewise Ardan, he knew his attitude yesterday was too excessive to yell at Rei, his wife.

Ardan looked at his wife, his guilt scaring him if his wife would continue to silence him.

"sorry"

Ardan and Rei both said, they were already sitting at the table eating. Ardan took Rei's hand and grasped it.

He regretted yelling at Rei, but Rei smiled instead. Rei took her husband's hand and kissed her, she also regretted not listening to her husband.

Ardan and Rei expressed their hearts, both regretting and promising to understand each other and listen to each other.

Their marriage is still new, there will be many trials ahead. They have to be open to each other, and understand not just looking from one side but trying to see the other.

"Life would be perfect if we gave to each other, and received from each other. Not just give or take."

"We are still new to the household, still exploring each other and getting to know each other. In the future the trials in our household heresy will get heavier, so never ignore anything our partner says."

"I'm sorry if I yelled at you yesterday, but I really didn't mean to. I want you to focus on our household, be a wife and mother to our child."

"So please, listen to me. I love you, I don't want my wife's hands to be rough or her nails to break because they're too heavy."

Ardan approached his wife and hugged her. Rei returned a hug from her husband and smiled, her tears dripping. She was grateful to have an understanding husband who was even too affectionate towards her.

"I'm sorry, too, I promise I'll listen to you in the future." Rei looked up, trying to kiss her husband's lips.

Ardan welcomed his wife's kiss, his hand holding his nape and their lips clashing back together. Mutual tasting and melu**belt all flavors.

The morning friendly kiss was immediately stopped, Rei did not want them to starve let alone last night they passed dinner because it was still emotional.

Ardan smiled, he had also felt hungry since then. Seeing the food that has been served on the dining table makes his stomach sound. But he had to solve their problems first.

After eating, Ardan took his wife to sit on the back porch of their house. Looking at the mini garden they planted a variety of flowers ranging from roses, chrysanthemums, orchids and delicious night.

Rei followed her husband, they enjoyed this morning relaxing there. There is no plan to leave the house like Ardan wanted yesterday.

Ardan wants to enjoy this weekend by relaxing at home. Accompanying his wife watching his favorite drama series, ranging from Korean, chinese and thai dramas.

Or accompany him to read new novels that his wife has just bought. Sometimes Ardan also bought his wife a novel if she was taking a walk to the bookstore.

Sometimes it also accompanies Rei to try new cake recipes or dishes, and if it fits then it will be one of the new menus in his restaurant or cafe.

As he said earlier, as a couple we have to give and receive each other not just one of the active ones.
