CHAPTER 34

Hearing the sound of the door closing and the clattering of steps approaching the kitchen, Amanda turned and greeted Kendra. "Morning mas.." the sentence stopped, changed with the sound of laughter when he saw Kendra wearing Aladdin's clothes. "Where is Ken going to wear that shirt this early?" tanyanya.

"To the office," he replied casually, looking at her appearance. "My looks don't diminish, do they?" ask her confidently while posing in front of the dining table.

Amanda laughs more and more at Kendra's behavior, she approached her husband while carrying two hot lasagna that he just removed from the oven. "Yes, no, but strange, the time Ken mas to the office wear this outfit? I was ready this morning for Ken's work clothes in my room,"

Kendra pulled out a chair and sat down at the dining table. "It's Ray's job, he proposed that if every Friday we cosplay, the theme is shaken like arisan," replied Kendra. "The other friends agreed, so inevitably I acc."

Amanda listens to Kendra's story while putting her homemade lasagna into an airtight container. "It's extra cheese for Ken's mas, and this one's for Ken's mas friends." Amanda sets her apart because she knows Kendra loves cheese.

Kendra nodded as she stuffed Amanda's salad into her mouth. Currently, she began to want to eat food made by Amanda because she judged that Amanda would no longer put sleeping pills into her food or drink.

"I make steak, I take it for a moment." Amanda went back to the kitchen. "Mas, would you like me to bring some cocoa clothes?" ask Amanda from the kitchen. "In order for the mas to pray friday, Kendra mas can change." he returned to the dining table to serve his chicken steak.

"May I be a little embarrassed to go to the mosque wearing this shirt" he looked back at the clothes he was wearing. Previously Kendra did not think at all that far, but now she thinks whether she can get out of her apartment wearing this striking Aladdin outfit. "Amanda, please get me my hoodie and my mask." At least with a hoodie and a mask can cover his face so that no one recognizes him.

"Yes," cried Amanda from her room.

While Amanda picks up her clothes, Kendra peeks at the picture book that Amanda always carries around these days, she is a little curious because Amanda is often seen busy with her picture book and laptop. "Wow, he murmured." Kendra was surprised to see some of the pendant designs that Amanda herself might have loaded.

"Mas Kendra," immediately Amanda snatched her picture book.

Kendra is like a thief who is caught stealing, but because it has been caught Kendra chooses to ask. "Why did you draw that locket?" ask Kendra curiously.

Amanda shook her head, she put her picture book at the end of the dining table across from Kendra, so Kendra couldn't reach her. "Nothing" he replied as he loaded Kendra's prayer equipment into the totebag, and helped Kendra put on her hoodie.

Kendra looked at Amanda with a sharp look. "What are you hiding from me?" ask Kendra back.

"No mas," Amanda replied, growing increasingly angry because Kendra kept pushing her.

Kendra kept staring at Amanda. "The answer to my question is honestly, Amanda."

Kendra immediately nodded, she felt her relationship with her in-laws was not so good, during her marriage with Amanda, she never met or just met by phone with her in-laws. He never visited Amanda's residence because Amanda never wanted to go home, while his parents also never visited them, despite knowing that Amanda was in care.

The opposite is precisely done by Kendra's mother, Ajeng several times came to Jakarta to visit her son and Amanda, this he did because he missed his youngest son, his youngest son, but because Amanda content that does not allow to flight or travel far, so Ajeng relented, he was willing to go back and forth Jakarta - Jogja to visit Kendra and his wife.

Amanda grabs Kendra's hand and takes Kendra to her room. He unpacked the contents of his dresser drawer which was filled with equipment to produce his homemade jewelry products. "His name is Mysoul" Amanda said. "The jewelry I made from DNA. Can be hair, ASI, or umbilical cord. Still small-scale, I only received 1 order for one week of work and it was just a pendant I was working on."

Amanda clasped Kendra's hand. "Please don't tell mom, she'll be pissed if she finds out I'm in business. He will certainly accuse me of asking for capital from my father, even though this capital I got from the sale of cryptos yesterday when the price was high. I used to work while in college, so I could put aside a little for investment."

Kendra was quite surprised to hear Amanda say, why would a mother think like that? He also did not expect if it turns out Amanda's relationship with Bude Jum, not okay.

Kendra took one of the pendants that contained baby hair that was strung together into an Ara tree, a tree that symbolizes life. "I'm not going to tell your mother, but there's a condition" Kendra said, putting the locket back in place.

"Condition? What's?"

Kendra walks back to the dining table, followed by Amanda from behind. "Recruit is 2 or 3 employees, to help you do the business. I don't want to see you work all night."

Amanda was surprised to hear the terms Kendra said. "So Ken knew all along that I was working late to do this."

Kendra nodded, then shook her head. "I know you sleep a lot before dawn, but I don't know what you're doing because you kind of avoid me." she squatted around stroking Amanda's stomach looking for a baby in Amanda's womb. "I don't want this baby why-why because you lack rest. You didn't forget, did you, the doctor's message when we checked yesterday? The doctor told you to get plenty of rest."

"Later I'll help take care of the licensing and increase capital for you," Kendra kissed Amanda's stomach and then she stood up, and took a totebag containing food and prayer equipment that Amanda had prepared for her. "It was noon, I went to the office first huh," he moved from his dining room, but only a few steps he turned back towards Amanda who was walking to follow him forward. "Did you see my car keys?"

"Last night I put it on the front desk" Amanda walked in to get her husband's car keys. "This is the key," she saw her husband about to wear formal shoes, and Amanda spontaneously prevented him. "Mas do not wear it does not match the clothes Aladin mas wear," Amanda replaced it with sandals that look more relaxed. "Take this," he gave it to Kendra.

"Thank you, yes" said Kendra, he kissed Amanda's forehead and then again stroked her stomach that had looked enlarged and sticking out because the clothes that Amanda was wearing did not fit. "Later in the afternoon we go to the mall yuk, I want to buy animated cosplay and buy maternity clothes for you."

Amanda smiled as she nodded, she was so happy every time Kendra took her out.

"I'll pick you up at 17:00." Kendra opened the door and went to the office.
