The Complicated Love #2

CL - 57. Cravings

Today's traffic flow is so dense, I broke through the morning jam to be able to get to the office and finish all business before I left on maternity leave. Saka had offered to drive, but I insisted on driving myself. Because I knew in fact he was also in a hurry to the restaurant because there were already important guests waiting to meet him for cooperation.

Saka relented and we both left in our cars.

Are you sure you'll drive yourself? Are you sure your body is strong? Seriously wouldn't why on the street? And a myriad of worried questions that Saka threw before leaving this morning.

I answered with the sweetest smile so that he would no longer buy time and reassure me that I was in a really good condition.

The sound of the horn said, making the atmosphere so boisterous. The car cannot move. I was also upset because I had to get stuck in a situation like this. In the middle of the traffic jam, on the side of the road I saw a lizard. How do you want to try, until the saliva wants to drip.

Is this a sign that I am craving?

I called the licksmith because the traffic jam was bad.

"How much Sir?"

"Five thousand a serving of ma'am."

"Buy two yeah!"

I gave him twenty thousand, the Father reached into his pocket for change.

"No need sir, the change is for you. May your sustenance be smooth and today the sale is in demand. Amen."

"Thank you, Mom. My mother was my first buyer. May your sustenance be smooth and you are healthy always. Amen."

"Thank You Sir."

I closed the car glass and ate the still-hot cilok. It feels pretty good, so it doesn't feel like it's gone. Fortunately, the traffic started to slowly break down. The car can move slowly.

After working for about an hour on the traffic jam, I was finally able to be free from the traffic jam. Arriving at the office I greet the employees one by one. I entered the room and asked Ana to go to my room immediately.

"An, it looks like I have to hand over all the shop business to you. Can you?"

"But what's wrong, ma'am?"

"Would you answer first or not?"

"Could be Mom. What's wrong, ma'am?"

"I'm pregnant."

"WHAT???" Ana shut her mouth because she was unconsciously shouting. "Seriously Ma'am? Mom pregnant? Akkhh is happy, I promise you will take care of all this very well. Mother don't worry. Mother just focus with the presence of baby candidates in the stomach of Mother. I'm so glad, Mom."

"Dad, be fast with God. I hope I can take good care of him. So what's been reporting lately?"

"There's nothing important ma'am, everything is safely under control."

"Goodoo. If there's anything I need to sign, just take it to my room. I'll check out some of the remaining reports first."

"Good Mom. So starting next week I'm not in the office anymore?"

"Dad. Please take care of everything. I believe you."

"Ready Mom, thank you for your trust."

"You can go back to your room."

"Good Mom."

My phone rings at lunchtime. I was just going out to meet Saka at her restaurant but the guy got off the phone first.

"I'm good, baby. It's still in the office. Go to your restaurant. Can you?"

"Yes can dong darling. I'd love to meet my wife and future hero."

"Champion candidate? Sure enough baby I'm pregnant with a boy."

"Yes who knows. Hehe. I want a guy, but whatever gender is important to be healthy, you're healthy too. I've been waiting at the restaurant."

"Dad, bye."

I smiled to myself imagining how Saka was when this child in my stomach was born. He is probably the busiest of all. He had long imagined he would have children and he wanted a boy. Hopefully it will be granted. Although I honestly want a daughter hehe.

I also drove quietly to the Saka restaurant that was not too far away. It wasn't until twenty minutes, I had already arrived at the resto. At the door Saka was even waiting. Really impatient. Hidhi.

"Darling, have you arrived? What about the road, it's stuck?"

"Not safe. Last morning it was so jammed, I got an hour stuck in traffic."

"Thul? But you're not tired of driving, are you?"

"No dear."

"Then let's go inside."

Saka and I walked into the room that passed through the kitchen where all the cooks were cooking. There Saka makes a kind of announcement that makes the stirrings of all the chefs. I'm ashamed of myself.

"Announcements, announcements, everything I want to convey that, MY WIFE IS PREGNANT AND WILL SOON BE A MOTHER, I WILL SOON BE A FATHER. So please pray for the pregnancy of my wife until the birth later."

Everyone cried out happily and congratulated us both. Some even forget their cooking. Then run back to the roasting. Hihi is so funny their response.

After the impromptu announcement made by Saka, we both entered her private room. Inside, Saka sat me down carefully. It was as if I was the most precious thing and was afraid of falling and breaking. She was so overrated knowing I was pregnant with her child.

Although his attitude is so, but I know it is solely because he is considerate and does not want me to experience things that are not desirable. I am grateful to have a husband like him.

"Darling, how do I want to eat pecel?"

"What pecel? Wait a minute, I'll have the chef outside make it for you."

"But I want you to make it yourself, baby."

"Huh? Me?"

"Dad," I replied.

"Keep if I make you, who keeps you here?"

"I can take care of myself, baby."

"Yes promise?"

"Promise."

"Okay, you wait here. Let me make it for you."

I stared at Saka's missing back from behind the door of the room. My heart was warmed by her every treatment of me being so kind. I never lacked the slightest affection from him. Actually, about this pregnancy, not many know. Even Mama I haven't told you yet. Likewise with the Saka family, no one knows this happy news. From here, we'll tell you at dinner tonight.

Saka cooked all the dinners to surprise our two families. Saka had told his family to come to the restaurant for a while last night, as well as Mama who I had told when I went to the office this morning.

Hopefully this good news can make Mama's heart a little comforted because of Papa's departure. So that he no longer carried away sad and made him moody all day. Even though Mama never said it but I'm sure she's still in a deep state of grief.
