Women Are Extraordinary


Ever since her belly grew, Calina had never made any public appearances. It never carries either on water or off water. His days were always spent in his apartment or taking refuge in his villa at the top.


Since it disappeared, he only relied on income from endorsements and meatball businesses whose turnover was not much.


"Ca... If this keeps up, what am I eating?" nagging Via while staring at Calina full of pleadings.


"Help take care of my meatball business, Vi. I don't want my pregnancy to be known to many people. Especially if they find out I married Siri and as a third wife. I don't want to be stamped by the actor" Calina said with her rest. He was sitting sweetly in front of the television while chewing on banana chips.


Yes, Calina's biggest fear is that her privacy is publicly known. If for endorsements, it can still be edited or diacalin so that the stomach is not visible.


Via could only exhale his coarse breath. In his heart he cursed himself who was too stupid and had no business outside of his job as a manager.


Indeed, anyway, Via has investments in mutual funds and deposits. But still, the investment did not make him rich. Moreover, the nominal he invested was not enough, manalah enough to support himself and his family. Understandably, the Via is the backbone of the family.


"Yes, I'll take care of your meatball business. The important thing is not to be idle," said Via pasrah.


"If you can, make it to have many branches." Calina chimed in casually as her eyes stared at the television screen broadcasting culinary events.


"OKAY. I like challenges" Via said with confidence. Yes, Via is an ambitious person and likes challenges. He was determined to make Calina's business have many branches. Currently, there are only three branches. And it's all still in town.


"Where are you going?" calina asked as she looked at Via standing up.


"home. Want to learn business. So that your meatballs sell out loud. And later I get a lot of rewards," said Via as he rolled his eyes. He then left Calina's apartment.


After Via, Calina returned alone. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.


"When are you out, baby? Mama can't wait to see you," Calina muttered as she stroked her already-enlarged stomach.


Shortly after asking like that, Calina laughed to herself. He knew the question was stupid. Yes, it is clear that the baby will be in the womb of the mother for nine months.


And as a good mother, of course Calina can predict when the baby will come out.


The phone on the carpet rang.


Leon


Are you okay, Ca? How's our son doing? Sorry I can't go home yet.


It didn't take long, Calina immediately replied to the message.


Calina


I'm kind.


Baby news is good too.


Yes I know. It's not time for you to come here, Leon. You still have to be with Arini.


Leon


Thank you very understanding.


I love you.


Calina


I love you too.


Calina put her phone back on the carpet. He felt his stomach sound. Signs of worms in his stomach are protesting for rations.


Calina immediately realized that she had not had lunch. He then headed to the kitchen and ate the Via cuisine a few hours ago.


Fried rice.


When we arrived at Calina's apartment, Via went straight to the point to ask for a meal. He complained that there was no food in his apartment.


"As usual, Via's cooking was delicious," Calina murmured after she bribed her meal.

"Leon..."


"What's up, Rin?" leon asked as he looked at Arini who was lying next to him.


"Do you love all your wives? Emm... I mean, are you married out of love?" Arini asked like that because she remembered Calina's words this morning.


Leon did not answer. He was confused to answer how. If he says "yes", he's afraid he'll hurt Arini.


"Why are you asking like that?" instead of answering, Leon asked back.


Arini who understood Leon did not want to answer, shifting the subject.


"Tomorrow I'm going to Papa's house. You wanna come?" asked Arini while looking at Leon closely.


"You, you" Leon replied instantly. He had not visited his father-in-law for a long time. From the time she married Becca to the present.


I don't know why it's awkward to meet her father-in-law. He felt guilty for hurting Arini. An amazing woman who can accept all the good and bad qualities of a Leon.


"Tomorrow no schedule with your other wife?"


"No. I've made the decision to be in your house for two days. And tomorrow my schedule is still with you" replied Leon.


"Aren't you going to get three more wives? So it's fit for a week. So every day you can move places," ledek Arini with a sweet smile.


Leon's heart immediately slipped upon hearing that. Instantly his face turned pale. Again he felt more guilty to Arini.


"Why face? You sick?" Arini felt Leon's pale face. "You're very pale" he murmured.


Leon held Arini's hand on his face. "Thank you for being such an amazing woman in my life" Leon whispered as he looked at my adorable Arini.


Arini blinked her eyes a few times. He was confused as to why Leon had switched the conversation. Though, Arini's intention to tempt her husband. But why did Leon even turn melow like this.


"From you I learned a lot. That not all evil deeds should be avenged with evil" whispered Leon. He kissed Arini's hand which he was holding. "Even you didn't repay me by cheating."


If the condition is not melow like this, it would be like Arini chimed in while joking. Who said I wasn't cheating? I cheated, really. The oppa - oppa Korea.


"That's it. Don't reveal the past. Now focus on improving ourselves." Arini stroked Leon's cheek with another free hand.


Leon closed his eyes. It permeates every touch given by Arini.


Leon's phone on the nightstand rang several times. Like there's some chat coming in


"Try seeing! Who knows how important." Arini had Leon check her phone.


Leon rushed to check his phone. Afraid something important. Both Calina and Becca are currently living alone.


Diana


Did you forget you were married to me?


You could have just left me.


Leon breathed his coarse breath. In his heart he cursed Diana who was too selfish.


Leon chose to make his phone in airplane mode. Then he rejoined Arini.


"Who?" ask Arini.


"Office group." Leon deliberately lied so as not to add to the burden of Arini's mind.
