Zenaya welcomed the arrival of the Reagents with a happy face. She took her husband's hand and helped him open his shoes. Not to forget, Zenaya also took a glass of water to give to the Reagent.
"Thank you, dear" said Reagen, smiling.
Zenaya nodded. She was determined to be the real wife for the Reagents.
"By the way, how's the examination? Is there a problem until you have to go home late?" ask the woman later.
Reagent shook his head. "Little concussion only." Answer the man kalem.
Zenaya widened her eyes. The look on his face that was relaxed turned tense. "The concussion can't be underestimated!" pekiknya worry.
"Sstt, I know. Therefore I have to rest a lot so as not to increase the gelaja. So, you don't have to worry, okay?" Reagen smiled as he calmed the wife by stroking her head gently.
Zenaya nodded obediently.
The man then turns to baby bump Zenaya and invites her to chat for a while, before finally going to the bathroom to change clothes.
...***...
The following days Reagents began to concern themselves with a wide variety of projects. One of them is Walker Group's biggest project this year, namely, the construction of Zen-tral Mall, which has entered the seventy-five percent stage.
Ever since he was diagnosed, the Reagents became obsessed with finishing their big project faster. Same with other jobs. Not infrequently he had to take overtime just to finish the files that had been abandoned.
Reagents are deliberately doing a lot of work while the condition has not deteriorated. She also plans to take time off to accompany Zenaya to give birth later.
That means he decided to delay treatment temporarily.
Although initially Adryan did not approve the Reagen's decision, but thanks to his request, the man was unwilling to budge.
"Zenaya will give birth in less than three months. Wait until that time comes. After that, I promise to obey whatever you say without rebuttal."
Those are the words Reagen said the other day to Adryan.
The change in attitude of the Reagents certainly made his wife and his entire family feel astonished. Zenaya even warned the Reagents not to push themselves too much.
"Remember the doctor said, you have to rest a lot" said Zenaya some time ago, when she found her husband coming home at half-twelve p.m.
In the office, Noah and Frans, who have returned to work, often remind him to go home on time.
...***...
Craig and Noah frowned upon hearing the request for a sabbatical that Reagents had submitted. What's more, the reason the man was quite simple, was to accompany Zenaya.
"You have to cut back on overtime, not take a sabbatical" Noah said, folding both hands.
"I just want to spend more time with Zenaya, without thinking about work. All at once, I want to repair our relationship that was in a mess" Reagen replied smiling.
Craig understood the Reagents' desire. His youngest son's household had not completely improved. They need more time to get closer to each other.
"How long are you going to be on leave, Rey?" ask the father.
"Old, Pa. Maybe six months or so." Answer Reagents without thinking.
Noah raised next to his eyebrows. "That means, we'll have to find your replacement for a while."
"No need to search for it." Craig folded his legs and crossed them. The man's eyes glanced at his two sons.
Hearing the father's words, Reagen and Noah suddenly turned their eyes away.
"Why work behind a desk again?" asked Noah curiously.
"Of course not. You're Noah, who should take your brother's place" Craig said directly to the target.
Noah who was leaning on the body of the sofa then straightened his body. "No, Pa! Both of my shoulders already had too much of a burden. After all, my position means it will be empty as well. So, it's the same, isn't it?"
"Your position will be replaced by Frans."
Frans who was standing in the corner of the room coughed. He also strongly rejected Craig's offer.
"You have talent in this field Frans, after all this is only temporary!" firmly the man.
Hearing his great master's solemn statement, Frans instantly fell silent, not daring to dwell.
Craig's old eyes then looked at the three young men, before finally standing up from the sofa. "Alright, this impromptu meeting is over .. no objection from Noah." Craig warned the son of returning to protest.
"Prepare both of you, and Rey, finish the job you've been working on. Give me until next week."
"Good, Pa." Reagent approached his father who had walked towards the exit.
"Thank you, Pa." Unexpectedly, Reagen hugged his father's body as tightly as possible, as if reluctant to let go of him.
Craig, who had originally put on a surprised face, then changed his expression into a smile. He also returned the embrace of the son equally tightly.
The same thing was done with Noah.
"It's ridiculous to hug a guy, you know!" nouah ketus.
Laughing reagents. Although the mouth of the brother said so, but he still returned the embrace of his beloved sister.
Frans, busy watching Craig and Noah leave, is suddenly startled by the Reagents' treatment. The man also hugged her. This time, the Reagents even whispered something.
"Thank you for everything, Frans. Please take care of my father and brother. I'm counting on you."
Frans could only be silent. For some reason, an unpleasant feeling enveloped him for a moment.
...***...
Zenaya ran when she found her husband coming to pick her up, just in time. Before leaving, Zenaya had told Reagen, he would visit his parents' house.
"Ups!" The reagent swiftly captured the wife's body. "Don't run, you make me hang!" yells.
Zenaya giggled while apologizing. "I'm too happy because you came home early."
Reagents review smiles. He kissed his wife's lips and belly, before they went in to see the Zenaya family.
Seeing the arrival of the Reagents, Adryan tried to be ordinary.
They had a small talk until Amanda called her family to dinner.
There was so much food on the table. "Mama deliberately cooked a lot because it just so happened that we could all get together" said the middle-aged woman.
"Thank you, Ma" said Zenaya.
"Together, dear," replied Amanda softly.
The pregnant woman also helped her husband get his food. However, when he was about to take a piece of chicken covered in cheese and cream sauce, Adryan forbade.
"Don't!" spontaneously excites.
Zenaya stopped her movements, and turned to look at the older brother. "Why, Brother?"
The reagent who heard the brother-in-law's spontaneous exclamation, then shook his head.
"Ahh, emm ..it's for Brother. This food is all for Brother, no one can take it!" Adryan pulled the plate containing the chicken towards him.
"She's like a child!" Zenaya.
Reagents laugh clumsily. "What's wrong, I can eat another one." Reagents try to mediate the debate between the two brothers.
