My husband General
Extra CHAPTER 9

The aging of pregnancy makes a woman more easily tired, it causes mood changes that can be 180 degrees inversely proportional to the habit with before pregnancy.

Nadia was sound asleep on the couch when her husband arrived from work all day. Time indicates five o'clock in the afternoon, which means it is not good for a person to fall asleep in the time leading up to Maghrib.

"Dear." Chandra stroked his wife's cheek. Nadia did not budge and still fell asleep without a pillow.

"Yes ...." Call Chandra again, this time he patted Nadia's arm gently.

"Hum...." Nadia simply muttered, her two eyes painstakingly opened.

Seeing it, Chandra can only laugh a little, "Wake up, not good to sleep in the time before Maghrib. His head will turn dizzy. Let's get up."

"Today my body was very weak, so the innards sleepy," explained Nadia lazy. Chandra helps Nadia to sit on the sofa. Instead of getting up, Nadia instead pulled her husband's body to sit down, Nadia hugged Chandra tightly like she did not want to be separated.

"Sorry, I haven't prepared anything."

"It's okay, I can prepare all by myself. Have you eaten?"

Nadia shakes. "Males eat."

"You are bribed hehe ..," added Nadia as she looked up at her husband.

Chandra smiled, the man dropped a kiss on Nadia's forehead deeply, Nadia closed her eyes as Chandra's lips touched her forehead again this time.

"Today's so bad, you don't take a shower, do you? Just shut up here," Nadia's love interest is with her husband. It had been fifteen minutes Chandra had not moved from the sofa because Nadia was mastering it.

"Yes." Yeah."

"It's a hormonal change, it's like this. Don't be mad."

"Yes, honey, I'm not angry." Tell Chandra to his wife gently and understandingly. She did not want the incident a week ago repeated, Nadia cried because Chandra after returning home from work immediately took a shower without hugging him first.

"I love to smell your body when you come home from work, hihi."

"Haha. Why do I love to smell it when I go home from work? Though I sweat because I have to work in the hot sun."

"Soal .. emm .. don't know, love it."

Chandra laughed at Nadia's expression which looked puzzled by her own attitude.

"Ah, maybe baby. Good afternoon baby, what are you doing inside?"

Chandra turns on Nadia's stomach that is growing more and more, her grooming is soft. The age of the womb is almost seven months and of course it becomes a pride for Chandra, which means the man will soon become a father soon.

"Good Papa ...." Nadia replied, her voice like a child makes Chandra anxious with the behavior of his wife.

***

That night the children came to the house because the General held a small celebration. Not the children of TNI members who are commanded by Chandra, but the elementary school children who have been taught in school by Nadia and TNI who have the basic science of teacher education.

The children sat neatly on the carpet held on the porch of the official house, while the filler of the evening was the General who played the acoustic guitar. Also present were the parents of children who were invited to the event that night. Everything seemed cheerful and certainly felt surprised by the General's ability to play musical instruments and sing, although the General's voice was hoarse, but quite melodious for the size of an abdinegara.

Nadia sat at the very front of the audience, she and Ong became General's number one fans while raising his hands up and moving them left and right.

Chandra performed an old song called More than words by Extreme. In the middle of the small event, Nellie who had long disappeared like being swallowed by the earth from the life of Chandra and Nadia came back. The girl who works as a doctor carries a small parcel in her hand that she has prepared since far away only for Nadia.

Not because he did not have the intention to meet or congratulate Nadia who had been pregnant, but Nellie herself was embarrassed by her attitude first on Nadia who considered him a close friend.

"Yeah! Applause is all for our General!" exclaim Ong who became the impromptu host that night.

The children clapped their hands as well as the parents. After the General sang, the man approached Nadia and handed her the acoustic guitar.

"You want to play guitar too?"

Chandra giggled, the man patted his eel gently. "Geez, I forgot."

"Nadia ... Chandras."

The slow call managed to distract Nadia and Chandra who were making out towards the source of the sound. Nellie smiled stiffly at the couple.

"Nellie ...," replied Nadia with a small smile.

Nadia approached Nellie first and hugged Nellie's body tightly. "Where are you going?"

Nellie scowled, the girl was about to cry getting a question like this on Nadia. Nellie was unable to return Nadia's arms because she felt so guilty.

"You're healthy, aren't you Nadia? How are you?"

"Good, Nell. I'm fine," replied Nadia with a smile. Nadia was very worried about Nellie who had been missing.

"Let's sit there" Nadia asked, and led Nellie to sit on the porch above her house, precisely on the rattan chair that Nadia always used to receive guests.

Chandra follows Nadia and Nellie, and the man escorts his wife's steps to be careful not to fall. Nellie steps aside a little to give Chandra some space to be with his wife.

"I went to Singapore, Nad. There was a doctor meeting there, I was gone for two months. But I still can't afford to see you guys" Nellie said.

Chandra stared at her former lover flatly, Nellie has not changed and always prioritizes work over personal matters. That girl is very consistent.

Nadia smiling. "Thank God .. I think you're still angry because of my attitude at the time, Nell. I can't go anywhere because I'm pregnant. You need to be more careful."

"No, Nad. Oh yeah, how many months is it now?"

"You're seven months, Doctor." Chandra who answered him, the man smiled faintly making Nellie feel a hint of pain in her heart.

Nellie still does not expect that she will witness Chandra living with another woman besides herself. Ah, Nellie hastily turned her face the other way, avoiding Chandra which of course she still can't explain. Their relationship was quite long and serious in the past. So it is not easy for Nellie to forget the memories that were created with the man.

"Nad, I can't stay long. Chandra, I'm saying goodbye, yeah." Nellie took a soft look at Nadia's hand, and Nadia stared in surprise at Nellie's rapid departure.

"Loh, it'll be Nell. Eat first, will you?"

"No, it's been too late, pity Nurse and Midwife at the puskesmas. There are no more patients."

Chandra drove Nellie to the car, Nadia who asked for it, although Chandra and Nellie initially refused, but Nadia somewhat forced her husband to want.

"Congratulations, yes. General, you will finally be blessed with your first child."

Chandra nodded. "Thank you, Doctor."

Nellie was quite nervous, not daring to look at Chandra even though they had a split second of a glance. While Chandra repeatedly checks Nadia who is now handing out tarts and snack parcels for children.

"You must love Nadia so much, huh?"

"No need to ask. I fall in love with Nadia every day."

"Mhan ...."

Chandra turned his head, Nellie got into the car and sat there comfortably.

"Yes?"

"Thank you, you've been present in my life" Nellie said with a poignant smile on her lips. Chandra did not respond to that, Nellie seemed to be about to cry in case Chandra replied to her with a similar remark.

CONNECT ....

WHO WANTS Nellie to know that Nadia is pregnant?
