Married Old Virgin Boss
49. Preparation From the Beginning

Ignoring the rule that Dion hates late people, Ben keeps stopping by the restaurant to meet Dea. He already predicted that he would be late for work, so, all of you. That's what he thinks.

Vigorously, Ben passed everyone who was busy working or other customers. He focused on the door to Dea's room. Only occasionally turned his head, when he was greeted by his coworkers first and smiled widely as the congratulatory call continued to approach him.

“Wuih, Dateng father candidate. Congratulations, Ben, just be a gentleman.”

On average, everyone welcomes it that way. Ben didn't know what to reply to, so could only smile.

No longer knocking on the door like when being a employee—as well as based on a high sense of passion—Ben open the door of the room suddenly. Making the women in there was surprised, and immediately looked up at Ben.

“Why?” asked Dea with a flat face. He just fixed the location of his oval glasses, then continued to observe the data on his laptop.

“Everyone knows, De?” Ben asked, then approached the chair in front of his wife. To make their conversation more intense. “When?”

“Yesterday,” Reply Dea. Still not changing the expression at all.

“Cuman I doang ya, who knew earlier.”

Dea shrugged her two shoulders indifferently. Not at all concerned with a hint of disappointed expression that her husband showed.

“Who said a day and a night yesterday in full?”

Ben nodded small. Justify, that he's wrong here.

“You have no sign at all, De. I still ... kayak half believe, I will be a father.”

“You want to say I lied to you?” Now, Dea is starting to turn serious. She even slightly lowered her laptop screen, just to be able to look straight at her husband.

Feeling intimidated, Ben shook his head violently. He was just about to explain his point, when Dea had already preceded him.

“Still lucky I'm not like you who never want to talk honestly with me. If you know this from someone else, how do you feel, Ben?”

This discussion again. Ben is again faced with a complicated problem.

“Au—“

Dea shook her hand violently. He re-enforced his laptop, and looks so busy with activities now.

“The bottom line is, if you admit to a fatal mistake later, for whatever, Ben. I will not let you live a quiet life,” Dea said full of threats. “Udah said you will not be able to. I even want to help and support you if you want to build a business from scratch, which you can also use to learn to fall-awake your own business. But ...” Dea stared intently at Ben, with all her anger. “Udah bego, yet self-conscious, stubborn, great pretentious too!”

Ben just smiled thinly at him. He took his laptop bag into his lap, then pulled the zipper.

“Ngapain you're still here? There go! Do not be careless, because your responsibilities are big now! Your punishment is not just fired doang, but can make thousands of people do not eat your lethargy,” continued Dea.

“Say, the influence of the baby can make the mother easily miss her husband. I don't know, but you know, you suddenly miss. You can playin dollya as much as you,” said Ben, then restore the position of the bag as before.

The man stood up, carrying his bag. Intend to leave his current place. However, Dea's question made her delay the desire.

“Where are you from semalem?” dea asked with a face demanding an answer. “Mas Dion said, You came home more than him. Where are you going?”

Hearing the word ‘Dion’ which is always called by the wife lately, Ben felt a little fed up. Especially when knowing that Dea is not at all willing to make boundaries even after the brother likes him. This is very annoying, but Ben remains calm in answering.

“There's business, De. In the old contract,” replied Ben, then silent for a moment to string a suitable lie sentence. “I plan to rent a contract until our wedding is over. You want to move the contract if the old contract is sold, it feels very heavy.”

Dea frowned, seeming to not fully believe the answer. Ben immediately drew closer to his wife's seat, and gave a brief kiss on the top of Dea's head.

“I will be home a little late tonight, make a meeting with prospective new contract owners,” said Ben told. “But it will definitely go home. I promise.”

Dea gave a small nod, just as a formality. Completely, the woman did not seem to care at all.

Ben doesn't demand much either. He left the room after saying goodbye to his wife.

“Happy pregnancy for your wife, Ben. I'm glad to hear it.” Ridwan said that after the examination session was over. He sat in his chair, while Ben sat on the opposite side of him. “We just talked about yesterday. I think this is God's signal so you want to have the spirit to heal.”

Ben nods enthusiastically first, “Kayaknya, Dok.”

“So, you should focus more on your health now.” The doctor gradually dimmed the smile, which spontaneously made the atmosphere more serious than before. “Your health condition is declining. You have relapsed a lot lately?”

Ben nodded, no longer covering his condition. “Multiple times. Even yesterday night, before the accident, my head was dizzy, Doc.”

“Don't be too tired, Ben,” said the doctor. “Your wife is from a well-off family. You don't have to force yourself to make a living. Apparently, until you get better enough, you should reduce the work that makes your body drop. Because once it's severe, it'll be even harder to treat, Ben.”

“I so must husband load dong, Dok.” Ben gave a forced amused laugh, and Ridwan did not smile at all over him.

“Not a burden, Ben. You and your wife should support each other. For now, you should be supported by your wife. Next time, you should support your wife during pregnancy and after childbirth. You will need a lot of energy to take care of pregnant women and newborns.”

Ben was stunned to hear it. Instantly hypnotized for two things: the pregnancy of Dea that makes him immediately imagine the wife in the condition of a bulging stomach, and the birth of a small baby in his later life. Ben took a deep breath, as if a new life was taking possession of him to return to life. In the blank look that led to the table, Ben's expectant smile slowly began to rise.

“Good, Doc,” said Ben decided, honestly giving half-fake answers. “I will business ...”

Prepare for the baby's arrival later.
