Alvin came out of the toilet with a slightly limp body after completing nausea in the stomach. Daniza who was still enjoying the food looked astonished at her husband.
"What's wrong with you, Mom?" asked Daniza, while feeding a piece of meat to the mouth. Even Alvin's part of the ration was devoured by him.
"I think I ate wrong, huh. Nausea continues." Her body shuddered at the sight of Daniza so greedily stuffing pieces of meat into her mouth.
"What did you eat at home?"
"So this morning you only ate your toast. What do you put into the bread?"
"Love nothing but butter as much as your favorite pineapple jam" he replied. "If you're nauseous look at meat, order something else, Mas."
"No, deh. Eat at home."
Alvin poured mineral water into the glass and sipped slowly. Although he felt nauseous, he faithfully waited until Daniza finished eating. Now the woman seemed to have difficulty breathing due to the satiety.
"Eat it already, right? Home yuk. I'm not going to the office today either."
Daniza was still sitting leaning back while shaking the menu book in front of her face. "Shortly, five minutes, Mas. I set my breath first."
"Eat it if you eat not most. Satisfaction is it."
"It's good." Now the woman sipped the juice with pleasure. Alvin until the head gurgles saw it. But then a perfectly fluffy smile on his lips recalled the small creature that was growing in his wife's stomach.
Of course Daniza has to eat a lot, because there are two lives that need intake. Ah, it feels like Alvin can't wait to be able to hold his two children. It would be great to hear their cries in the morning. Or run to the door to welcome his father after work.

Mama Elvira can't stem the overflow of joy at hearing she's about to have a twin granddaughter. He hugged Daniza and said a lot of gratitude.
Eventually the house will be enlivened with the presence of two grandchildren later.
"Congratulations, son! Take good care of your content. If necessary you do not do anything so as not to get tired," said the mother.
"Yes, Mah."
Mama Elvira took off a hug while rubbing the wet end of her eyes. The woman then glanced at Alvin who once arrived home immediately sitting limp on the sofa of the television room.
"What's wrong with you, Vin? I think it's limp?"
Alvin let out a long sigh while rubbing his back neck. Daniza and Mama sit next to Alvin.
"Gold, Mah. Nausea from last day."
"What did you eat?"
Alvin simply replied with his shoulders raised. For as far as it is, he ate nothing today but Daniza's toast. "No idea, Mah. It feels dizzy just like nausea."
"Sort of pregnant people are you."
Alvin grabbed the TV remote control and changed chanel, making mama stare. He also sat back to watch his favorite soap opera.
Alvin just stopped pressing the remote when he found a channel that was airing news about culinary. Suddenly he swallowed saliva when he saw the host on TV so greedy eating fruit.
"Buy where ya, Mah?" alvin asked, looking at the television seriously.
"Where does mama know. Indeed why?" reply to the mother.
"Eating it at noon is like it's good." Alvin's view doesn't even switch a bit from the TV. It was like enjoying every piece of fruit that the host ate at the event.
"You want to eat rujak?" Mama Elvira stared in wonder. Alvin had never liked the wry fruit. What else is rujak.
"Yes, Mah. Want to ask Mr. Muis to buy ah."
Mama Elvira and Daniza looked at each other questioningly. Even when Alvin had gone to the door and was heard calling Mister Muis.
Daniza just chuckled at her in-laws.

After waiting for 15 minutes, the order arrived. Alvin's like a kid who just got a candy present. Looks full of spirit.
Now the man was again sitting on the sofa with two servings of rujak in front of him. He bought two portions to eat tonight.
"Don't you, Vin?" mama asked when she saw her son eating.
"Back, Mah. Don't ask, yeah!"
Mama Elvira pursed her lips not to burst into laughter. He began to suspect that Alvin was experiencing couvade syndrome or sympathetic pregnancy, where the husband experienced cravings like a wife during pregnancy.
"Don't eat much. Your stomach will hurt, Mom!" Daniza tried to remind her, seeing her husband about to open the second package.
"So you also ate two servings of steak I'm not prohibited!" alvin protest.
"Yes, eat it all. Don't complain that you have a stomachache!"
However, Daniza's words were not heeded by Alvin. Just going to feed the next piece of fruit, he has returned to feel the sensation of nausea in the stomach.
"Oh, why else is this neck the same stomach!" The man immediately got up to the bathroom to finish the nausea.
Daniza who was worried to see the state of her husband soon followed to the bathroom.
It knows very well what nausea feels like that is very torturous, because it often experiences it during this pregnancy.
Alvin washed his face with water after the discomfort in his neck and stomach slightly reduced.
"We'll just go to the room, Mom. I massage, you like a cold," Daniza asked, rubbing her husband's face with a towel.
"Can deh. My stomach doesn't taste very good. I want to fall too." Alvin's out of the bathroom.
"It looks like you have couvade syndrome, Vin," said Mama Elvira who is now standing near the bathroom.
Alvin's eyeballs were rounded so surprised. "What, covid syndrome?"
"Not covid, but couvade," explained the mother.
"What disease is it, Mah? New virus, huh?" tanyanya. He had never heard of this disease before.
"not virus. But Daniz's cravings are felt just like you."
"Nwantedam?" Alvin glanced at Daniza and mama in confusion. "could that? Who's pregnant who's cravings for who?"
"Can!" mama answered, then laughed with satisfaction. Looks like he can use this as a weapon to taunt Alvin. "That's why you don't know how good it is. Let you also feel no good cravings."
Alvin still has a stupid look. "Continue, then, I should drink some pregnant milk too, then?"
Hearing her husband's innocent words, Daniza almost blew up a laugh. But, of course, she would not dare to remember how sensitive her husband is now.
"It's not like that, Vin!" said mommy. Then back to laughing.
"Keep me how to let the syndrome disappear? Mama instead of giving a solution even ngetawain," protested again.
"Wildamah! Maybe your kids are taking revenge because you hurt their mama."
