Vim

Rea lay on the sofa in the tv room, for the umpteenth time he glanced at the clock that was next to the television nightstand. Sighing slowly when realizing that the clockwise rotation on the time unit in the form of the aquarium is still faithfully perched in the number 2 only the minute hand that moves from the number 6 to the number 7.

It was only a few minutes later that she last saw the clock but the heavily pregnant woman felt as if the clock had taken so long to move, even he felt if the clock with beautiful colors in the aquarium was damaged and needed to be replaced.

Almost half a day Rea spends watching and reading articles about pregnancy and childbirth and it makes her bored especially if she is alone at home, Zee who used to accompany him was also not at home because invited by his grandmother to visit an orphanage that was routine in-laws were coming every month.

Varest had suggested bringing in new workers to replace old workers who were allowed to return home because of their children who had an accident, but Rea refused. And here he is now

gontai's feet in front of the window waiting for Varest's return from the office.

“Honey, do you also feel bored?” tanyanya while stroking her big belly.

“Mama will call papa, who knows he wants to give us permission to go out,” his monologue.

Back he walked to the tv room to pick up his phone that he put on the table, his smile curved up hoping that what he wanted would be obeyed by the husband. Since entering the 8-month-old womb Varest has never allowed Rea to leave the house unattended and this time Rea will try to persuade her husband.

Long live, Rea had just wanted to press the green button on his phone, but the person who wanted to be on the phone first made his phone ring.

"Assalamualaikum" Rea said after his phone stuck to his ear.

"Greetings waalaikum, dear. Have you eaten?" ask Varest from across the street.

"Already, I've taken the vitamins, too" replied Rea

"Good." Varest paused his sentence, the man was heard sighing heavily before he continued speaking. "Does your stomach still hurt today?"

"Sometimes, but you don't have to worry that this has become commonplace in the run-up to HPL, it's just a false contraction" Rea explained. "Did something happen?" Rea asked as she again heard Varest exhaling violently

"Nothing, it's just like I couldn't get home early, there's something I need to finish at the office. I'm sorry."

Rea sat himself on the sofa glancing at the clock that became his friend earlier, there were still about two hours from the time that Varest usually came home but now had to increase somehow for how many hours ahead.

"It's okay, but-" Little hesitates Rea to continue her words.

"What's up, hm?"

"Can I come to the office? I'm tired of being home alone, Zee hasn't come home yet and I'm tired of reading books all day."

"Would you like to go to the office?"

"Hm." Rea nodded even though the person he was talking to could not see him.

"Well, I'll have the office driver pick you up. Can you wait another half hour? He was picking up an employee who was monitoring the factory outside."

"No need, I can use a taxi online."

"But, baby-"

"Alright, but you should always call me, don't take your phone out of your hand, and don't stay in the cafe for long." Tell Varest with clear-sounding concerns.

Rea nodded enthusiastically, after agreeing to her husband's decree she immediately stepped foot onto the second floor towards her room intending to get ready, was the first for her to leave the house without anyone accompanying her, so he was very excited.

Tilt his body to the left and to the right, Rea observed his appearance wrapped in a long dress made from chiffon with brocade motif on the shoulders of green mint looks fresh with a half updo hair model that he chose as a sweetener look.

The woman who soon gave birth to her second child smiled at her reflection in the mirror after sweeping her perfect look of orange peach-colored lipstick on her lips. Perfects

After feeling enough, Rea began to step foot up to get out of the room after previously had time to order a taxi online. It did not take long for the taxi he was waiting for to finally come, he smiled a little to find the driver was an old man who might be the same age as his papa.

"As per the application well, Neng?" asked the driver to glance from the rearview mirror

"Yes, sir," said Rea

The journey that took about 15 minutes was passed by a light conversation dominated by the driver, telling the family and also his son who also turned out to have almost the same age as Rea, Rea himself was quite amused by the simple story that the single parent had done in front of him. Well, the driver took care of his two children alone after his wife died one year ago. Her first child was a 23-year-old girl and her second child was a 12-year-old boy.

"Thank you, Neng." The driver kissed the money in his hand when Rea refused to take the installment.

"Yes, Sir. That's the fortune you deserve" said Rea, after leaving the place to the cafe which has become a place that he longed for.

Rea swept his gaze at the crowded cafe atmosphere, all employees were still not aware of the arrival of his boss, he said, his footsteps stopped right in front of the cashier's table where there was Andin who seemed to be reprimanding the woman who became the cashier.

"Ehem." Rea cleared her throat right next to Andin and suddenly made the woman who became Rea's trust turn her head.

"Bak Rea?!" pekik Andin reflexes hugging Rea.

Because Andin's voice is quite loud as a result other employees also turn their eyes towards Rea is no exception cafe customers.

"Sorry, sorry." Andin bowed many times to the cafe customers who were disturbed because of his actions, while Rea could only chuckle.

"Continue your work!" Andin's recalcitrant decree made the employees who had wanted to meet their boss slumped their shoulders disappointed.

"Come, Ma'am. We go upstairs," take Andin to Rea.

Rea shook his head as he gently squeezed both of Andin's shoulders, "I'm not here to work, but to be a customer. I just want to buy a croissant for Varest after that I'm going to his office" he said

"Are you, ma'am?"

"Varest was waiting for me at the office, so I couldn't stay long." Rea paused to set his eyes on the rest of the room.

"Please prepare well. I'll wait at the cashier for the transaction." Pinta Rea's.

Although disappointed because the boss can not be long at the cafe, but still Andin feel happy to see the boss in good health, especially just waiting for the day again the prospective small boss will be born. Andin complied with Rea's wish to take the order and soon returned with a box of croissants in hand.

"I am the deal. So, Madam Rea doesn't have to pay." Said Andin who invited Rea's laughter.
