Now Chandra arrives accompanied by Johnny who is a biologist at a minimarket the only one in Flores. The shopkeeper greeted with a smile, but Chandra's face was very clumsy and Johnny went straight to the shelf where the pads were stored.
Chandra stared in amazement at the lines of the brand of pads that filled the shelves that were there. "Usually they wear everything, John?" ask Chandra innocently while sorting the item in question that is lined up from left to right.
Johnny laughed amusedly at the commander's question, usually they discussed about weapons for training in the forest, but now they are busy choosing a brand of pads.
"I don't know yet, how about we just ask the maid?"
Chandra nods in agreement, and Johnny stops by when the waiter approaches Chandra who is completely confused by his tense, but flat face like a robot lacking electricity.
"Can I help you, sir?"
"Here, Mom. I want to buy the best pads in this store."
The minimarket waiter put on a smile. "Oh so, sir. For the best brand anyway, I'm not so sure, but for the best-selling brand, these pads seem to be widely used in general circles."
The waiter handed a pack of oversized pads to Chandra.
Chandra accepted it and immediately put it into the basket.
"For his wife, sir?"
Chandra nodded without saying much. The waiter again put on a friendly smile towards Chandra.
"There are two options, sir. There are wings and non wings, or do you want to buy two?" "Yes, I take both," Chandra said firmly.
The servant took the object in question and put it in Chandra's basket.
"Hm .. There's another option, sir. Exist for night time usage."
Chandra scratched his non-itchy nape, a confused reaction that was very obvious. "Yes, I took that one too."
"alright. Come, Sir. Just get paid at the cashier if there's no other extras."
Chandra came out of the minimarket with a sigh of relief, Johnny waiting in the parking lot right next to the bike. Johnny seemed to laugh at Chandra's reaction while talking in the minimarket.
"Fiuhh .. finally, I can also order Nadia," said Chandra relieved.
Johnny still smelled a smile. "Great, the Commander's face looks more tense when buying pads than when taming mines."
Hearing Johnny's words, Chandra couldn't help but smile. "That's it, huh? Hahaha .. oh yes, this matter you do not tell anyone yes, especially on Ong. He can make fun of me."
"Ready, Commander!"
After a short trip and a brief explanation of the pads, Chandra had already returned home in thirty minutes of brackets. The man immediately broke through the main door and approached Nadia who was still silent in the kitchen. Chandra handed Nadia the entire grocery bag.
Nadia did not welcome her husband for long, the girl went straight into the bathroom. Chandra was waiting for him outside while facing the closed bathroom door.
"Why did you buy so much?!" nadia shouted in the bathroom.
"Eh? That's ... too much, huh?"
Chandra giggles. "I don't understand, the difference between winged and wingless. There is also night wear. There continue to be betel leaf extract, there are cold and warm effects. Thin and thick. In the end, I bought all of them" Chandra explained to Nadia who appeared to be still busy inside the bathroom.
In the bathroom, Nadia just laughed a little imagine how panic and shame Chandra when buying pads. It is also inconceivable, how did a mighty general buy pads for his wife?
Clik.
Nadia came out of the bathroom, and her face was now adorned with a stiff smile, her cheeks appearing red.
"It's over?" ask Chandra.
Nadia nodded with a small question of such concern.
"Oh yes, I also bought you pain medication. The word midwife is good for women who experience dysmenorrhea."
Nadia frowned, Chandra gave her a cup filled with water that seemed to be still reflecting smoke, a sign that the water was still hot.
"Medicine?"
"Hum, a decoction of ginger with palm sugar."
Nadia smiled slightly, she received the cup to warm her palm which was still cold.
Chandra still looked at her carefully, making Nadia even more embarrassed because she had asked her husband to buy her a sanitary pad like just now.
"I'm sorry, you must be embarrassed. Because already buy pads to minimarket," said Nadia while shifting her seat closer to Chandra.
"It's okay, really. I am not ashamed because that is your need. The shopkeeper can also guess who I bought it for."
"Love," said Nadia spoiledly. The girl leaned on Chandra's shoulder and rested her pain for a while by clinging to her husband like this.
"Drink the water, it's still warm."
"Hemm, you want to?"
"You're the one who drinks. Oh yeah, I got a call from grandma."
Nadia turned towards Chandra with a surprised face. "Grandmother? Whose grandma?"
"Your grandmother, she said the same grandmother would visit here tomorrow. Papa also tried to contact me several times, but it was unsuccessful because the network here was inadequate."
"Geez, what are you doing here?" nadia's mumbling is bad. However, Chandra instead looks calm with it.
"I can't refuse your parents, Nad. Maybe you miss your grandma and dad too, tomorrow morning I'll pick them up at the airport. You wanna come?"
Nadia was very happy with the invitation, actually Nadia always wanted to come wherever her husband went. Even in the forest. Nadia was no longer afraid of the boar, while Chandra was by her side.
Then as the atmosphere grew quieter between the two, Nadia placed Chandra's hand to her waist, the man smiled slightly and wrapped his long arms around the slender waist of his wife. Nadia closed her eyes, trying to enjoy the romance in the kitchen before the lighting died that night. "Come, to the room."
