Jovian Alton (Life-Life Bodyguard)
A little cake

"If the theme is outdoor?" Kiana looked at everyone in turn.

They decided to gather in the backyard. Hold a mat, to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere around there. With various types of cakes, canned drinks, and fresh fruits provided specifically for Kiana.

"could. Outdoor should be, indoor should be too. Want here you can, want to find a villa can also. It's up to Kia how and how." Jonathan answered.

A happy roar clearly adorned Kiana's face. She smiled unceasingly, even after going through a tremendous gag some time ago, after the woman had not found Jovian with her.

"So the four-monthly reception?" Ask Kiana again.

And immediately answered the nod by the four parents, also her husband.

"Aaaaa, .. I'll be in makeup. Wear the Sundanese siger yah!?"

Kiana looked at Jovian, touched the man's burly arm, then shook him with a wide smile that continued to be seen.

"Will I wear a siger? Do not want Korean-style makeup, or which country is like the trend among women now?" Jovian's smile was visible.

What Kiana felt was clearly her feeling as well. Until it made his chest unceasingly rustle, feeling such an overwhelming feeling.

"You." Kiana nodded her head in excitement.

His behavior increasingly looks like a child, who has just gotten what he wants.

"That means the show will have two sessions well! First four months of thanksgiving first. After that, it's the wedding reception." Leni explained.

"Like a flush like that?"

"Yes." Yeah." Leni nodded, then smiled.

"wear kemben? Keep wearing jasmine flowers?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Aaaaaa, .. I can't wait!" He clapped.

Herlin slightly looked astonished looking at Kiana's manner. So that made her look towards her husband, and the same thing Danu did until the two exchanged a glance.

"If you like. Why not just ask since yesterday?" Danu.

"I didn't want Papa."

"Then do you want to?" Danu.

"Hu'um."

Danu sighed, then she turned her gaze to Jonathan. While the man was just smiling meaningfully.

"Maybe the current one who wants isn't Kiana. But our grandchildren!" Said Jonathan.

His laughter sounded gush.

"Then. Tomorrow we can start, .. can print the invitation, then find the cow." Jonathan with passion.

"If cows. It seems Mang Adang is the one who is looking for." Jovian answered.

"What can be done by us, let's getong royong. If it is not possible, we ask someone. For wages, I'll take responsibility." Danu.

And everyone nodded in agreement.

"Conversed already?" The woman asked.

"It has. Wanna go in the house?" Herlin asked.

Kiana chimed in on the mother's question with a soft headband. Without much talking he got up, then just left.

"Where are you going?" Jovian.

"I forgot that Mami and Papi had rabbits!" He's muttering.

Every step seemed to be getting louder. Approaching a place blocked by a wooden fence. With green grass in it, and there is a cage in the form of houses measuring a little large.

"After pregnancy Kiana looks more energetic yah!" Danu chuckled, directing her gaze at Kiana who had already entered the area.

The woman was seen hunchingah, bowing, then re-enforcing the body while carrying a white rabbit on her lap.

Jovian was about to rise, intending to catch up with his wife who began to look cool with her parents' pet rabbits. However, Leni's remark made the man stop and seem to think.

"Leave it, don't ban it too much. She's just pregnant, not so sick that you won't let her do anything." Said Leni in a slightly slow voice.

His gaze looked up, looking at his son who had a posture like the husband. Likewise with Jovian, the man's gaze lowered, until the two stared at each other for a long time. Leni continues to give a signal if Kiana's condition is fine besides always feeling dizzy nausea and vomiting at certain times.

"Body?"

Kiana's screams sounded loud. Make everyone immediately set their sights on the direction the sound sounded.

Herlin was panicking, his fear clearly visible.

"Kiana was bitten by a rabbit!" Herlin with a million uniqueness.

"Geez!" Everyone reacts.

They got up together, and without saying much Jovian ran over to the rabbit cage fence made of bamboo. Even so panicked that the man forgot to wear footwear, with a red face extinguished because he felt very frightened when he heard the screams of the woman he loved so much.

"Kia!?" Jovian screamed a little.

The woman who had been squatting until her body was not visible from any direction. Finally stood with a face that could not be described by words. Looking happy, amazed, even the look in his eyes seemed sparkling. And it succeeded in making Jovian's heart feel like it would explode because of his sudden appearance.

"There's a baby rabbit! Why not say?" Chirp Kiana.

The woman was exactly like a child who was very fond of the furry animal that was very adorable.

Everyone stopped their steps.

"I want a sling. Satuuuu only, …. Can ya?" His request while pleading.

They are still silent, especially Jovian who is still trying to neutralize his feelings.

"Darling?" Call Kiana. "Let's get it!" He smiled, with a typical whimper of a child, and that attitude began to cling to him.

"Hhew!"

Jovian sighed loudly, while sweeping a rough face with a slightly irritated feeling.

"You scared us, Kia!" Danu.

Kiana dyed, looked at everyone alternately, then the smile on her lips slowly receded.

"Sorry! But I'm just gonna take his son." Kiana whispered.

Jovian exhaled again, he pushed open the bamboo gate, then entered.

"He's still very small, Baby! Can't be touched, maybe in about three weeks he'll be able to hold."

Kiana looked very disappointed.

"But I want the baby!"

Jovian gave a smile, then he crouched down to peek inside the cage. Where there is a place filled with feathers, and there is a very small still in it.

"Three weeks not necessarily I'm still here. Who knows, you'll have to work."

The man looked up his head, looking at the gloomy-looking Kiana.

"Come here!" He stretched out his hand, which was immediately received by Kiana, so that the woman walked over, and crouched back down like before.

"seen? They're very small, Baby. They're old, they can die if they're not careful, baby." Jovian tried to explain.

"Imagine if our child is very young, we try to take good care of him. But there are others who are trying to take her, aren't you going to be sad?" Further.

Kiana silenced, while staring at the cage there.

"So we can see later. Or if you'd like to go to the market, and find the rabbit you want. Which is a little bigger than them."

And finally the woman nodded.

"Do you understand?"

"Yes." Yeah." Kiana nodded again.

"How many are they? It looks like more than six. But I don't know either, they sleep piled on each other like this."

"Either. Maybe Mami or Papi's been counting, but I don't know."

Kiana turned to her two in-laws who were starting to get closer. Which was soon followed by Danu also Herlin.

"Bapy? They much?"

Jonathan nodded.

"There are about nine tails."

"Nine?"

"Sometimes there are eleven."

"Geez!" Kiana closed her mouth, then turned to look at the cage where there were baby rabbits there.

Then he turned to look at Herlin as well as Danu.

"Yes you lose to rabbits. They just have a lot of children so that their children are not lonely. I don't even have any brothers." Chirps Kiana.

"Different, Kia!" Herlin answered.

"Hhhew. Imagine if I had a brother or sister. Seneng like, .. someone take care."

"Are you not happy now? Papa see also you are more spoiled to Jovian than the same Papa. So what do you regret?" Sergey Danu.

"Cook. Just lonely."

Kiana walked out of the area, leaving the husband who was still in the rabbit cage area that looked quite spacious.

"Where are you going?" Call Jovian in a very loud voice.

Kiana turned her head, when her feet had just stepped on the fourth step.

"You peed." He said, then continued his steps back, until the tiny body completely disappeared behind the entrance.

"His behavior!" Danu bobbing head.

"Don't!" Herlin pinched her husband's waist. "It looks like you, so much so that I don't get it." Herlin.

Making Leni, Jonathan and Jovian chuckle softly.

***

A few days later.

Preparation for the event to be held has begun one by one. Dozens of large sacks have come, some goats and cows have been there, then the decoration equipment that began to fill the yard of Jonathan's house.

Some people already look very busy, not least Jonathan, Leni, Danu, Herlin also with Jovian. So that after bedtime arrived, they no longer spend time together to just talk casually, but directly into their respective rooms to rest. And they completely forgot something.

The clock is 23:50 p.m.

However, a woman under a blanket appeared to have not yet fallen asleep. His body continued to twitch faintly, even several times popping his head just to check the phone.

Slowly Kiana got up, looking at her husband who was still asleep, then went down carefully, worried if his movement would make Jovian wake up.

After successfully descending, Kiana walked slack towards the door, opened it and immediately exited after making sure Jovian was completely unguarded.

Silent.

That was what Kiana felt as she walked from the room through the living room of her in-laws house. The lights were already seen off, leaving only the light of the outer lights that pierced through the air pentillation.

He grabbed the handle of the refrigerator after arriving at the kitchen area. Then crouched down, taking out one box he had hidden from the afternoon. And succeeding, no one noticed it.

Kiana placed the small box on the dining table. Open it, and see what's in there. A small black forest cake.

"Korean!"

He said, then turned to look for the small object in the drawers in the kitchen. Too bad, he did not find it everywhere, until Kiana only realized that the object would be found in the room.

"Ah I forgot that my husband smokes." Kiana said, then moved closer to one of the drawers, and brought a spoon.

Kiana returned to her room. He pressed the light switch of the room, thus making the room turn on perfectly. Which of course made Jovian react a little. Jovian blinked several times, with a hand he kept overhead to adjust the light that felt piercing to the eye.

"Babies?" His voice sounded raucous.

Kiana was a little surprised.

"You awake? Do you feel dizzy and want to vomit?" He said again, handsome opened his eyes in the slightest.

The woman did not reply, she looked confused what else when she did not find what she was looking for.

"Babies? Are you okay?"

Jovian removed the arm from his head, then got up.

"Eeee, yes, .. I'm good." Kiana nervous. "Happy birthday, Papa!" His smile looks awkward.

Kiana walked over, carrying a small box with only the letter '38'.

"I don't know where matches are. So the candles don't have to be lit either!?" He sat on the edge of the bed, thrusting the cake he bought at a very cheap price.

Jovan looks dazed. Even he continued to stare at the cake that Kiana was holding with his wife's pretty face fixed.

"What date is this?" His voice still sounds heavy.

"Date two five." Kiana showed her sweetest smile. "A few days ago Mami said she wanted to make rice cone for you, but our busyness lately seems to make everyone forget, except me. I deliberately came to the house next door you know, .. incidentally his mother sells that sponge, well I pesen this. Had wanted a big one, but he said again make a small one just to be sold to the market."

The explanation made Jovian silenced, staring at Kiana's face with a look of disbelief.

"Happy birthday, my dearest friend! Another year old but still as cool and charming as ever. I hope this year brings you endless joy, good health, and plenty of fun. Let’s celebrity like there’s no tomorrow!

(Happy birthday, dear friend! A year older but still as cool and charming as ever. I hope this year gives you endless joy, good health, and lots of fun. Celebrate like there is no tomorrow!)" Kiana made her voice as soft as possible.

"Friends?" Jovian looked at his wife sharply.

Kiana gave a smile, then nodded her head.

"Friends are not just friends. Life friends, dining friends, .. bobok friends are also well!" He laughed loudly, with his head turned up. Makes her neck perfectly exposed.

The cup!!

Kiana was silent, her gaze started to descend, staring at the face of the man who had just slit his neck.

"Thank you." Jovian smiles.

The woman nodded slowly.

"Happy thirty-eight years, Papa. Just wanted to be a father, .. but already gentlemen!" Said Kiana.

Jovian laughed with closed eyes, then grabbed Kiana's hand, and was about to hug the petite woman. However, Kiana of course held him back, to then thrust the cake at the husband.

"If you don't want to try the cake, that's fine. But bribe me first, just hug." He gave me a spoon.

Jovian grabs the object, cuts the edges of the cake, then gives it to Kiana.

"How's it?" Tanya Jovian, then put the used spoon of Kiana in her own mouth, cleaning the remnants of white cream that is still there.

Kiana nodded her head as she continued to chew. Not infrequently his index finger rubbed the corner of the lips when he felt something was still left there.

"Enak. You must like it."

Jovian tried it immediately.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any money. There is money, there is money from you too. But here I'm confused what to buy." Kiana.

Dahi Jovian looked up, shook his head in a sign of disagreeing with the words of the wife, then placed the cake that Kiana had given on the nightstand.

"It's okay. They've become the most beautiful gift." He touched Kiana's stomach.

"Maybe when I get home, I'll buy you a more special gift."

"No already. The money is saved for your needs, it is not as big as what your parents always give, .. but I am trying to give you a living as much as Mr. Danu gave first." Jovian.

"And maybe the money I give will not be the same nominal. If the harvest is good, it's big, but if …"

"I don't want to hear it anymore!" He covered his ears.

Kiana closed her eyes for a while, then opened them back while exhaling her breath slowly.

"Don't that. I already know enough, especially now not in use, eating it is still the same Mami. In Tangerang also eat it still hitchhikan Mama." Kiana laughs.

"Hemmm, .. I'm less likely to be."

Kiana shook her head, inched closer, and hugged Jovian's body wrapped in thick Hoodie.

"Not to be less. This is more than enough! Happiness is not about money. I got anything first, but I've never felt as comfortable as I am now, having been in a relationship with you." Kiana said in the same position.

Jovian returned Kiana's embrace, while several times showering the woman with a warm kiss on the forehead.

"Oh my God, .. I love my wife so much."
