Happy reading ....
A few days later, everything went as usual. Ajeng is preoccupied with his college assignments that were left behind, as well as Alena and Riky who return to their work routines.
The sunny morning weather is a great encouragement for anyone who wants to get out of the house. Everyone will be busy with their morning activities. Not with Alena Atmadja.
There was nothing more pleasant for the young mother-to-be than to watch her husband cooking for her.
Since her pregnancy, Alena likes Riky's cooking. Although according to Riky the cuisine was not tasty, Alena still spent it.
As a result, Riky was willing to sweat and struggle with kitchen utensils for the sake of his wife. He also honed his cooking skills by watching videos on youtube without Alena's knowledge.
"Sister Riky if you're cooking like a Korean oppa," Alena said while staring at her husband's back.
"Who's side? Oppa Riky what is oppa Korea?"
"Sister Riky dong."
"Kok Sis, not Oppa." His protest.
"Op-pa," said Alena spoiled with a seductive look. Riky chuckled and quickly served his homemade fried rice.
"Hmm, fragrant. Oppa's cooking is getting better. Lena could also have lunch to make it," said Alena while shaking her hands so that the food vapor is sucked by her nose.
"Geli I heard it. It's vacation, honey. I'll have to work" said Riky with a pushy look.
"Yes. Alena knows. Eat yuk! Why does Riky only make one plate? Accompany Lena to eat."
"This is also accompanying. It's special just for you guys."
"You guys?" Alena scrunched her forehead.
"You and our baby, baby." Riky squeaks the tip of Alena's nose.
"Oh yes, yes. Forgot, hehe."
Alena began to feed Riky's seafood fried rice. Meanwhile, Riky accompanied while drinking coffee. Inhaling the smell of spices during cooking, plus seeing his voracious wife already made Riky feel full. But still his mouth is open, if Alena feeds food for him.

On arrival at the office, the couple used the same elevator. During his time in the elevator, Riky repeatedly kissed his wife's forehead. But they had to split up when they arrived at the floor of the building where Alena's room was located.
Out of the elevator, Riky is greeted by the happy smile of her secretary. Risa even followed Riky's footsteps to the superior's room.
"Risa, please call Andri."
"Good, sir."
"Is there anything you want to say?" Riky felt astonished to see Risa not budging from her place.
"Nothing, sir. Excuse me," said Risa hesitated. Makes Riky shake slowly.

The days pass so quickly. Alena has already begun to work out her final assignment. Riky's wife hopes to finish sooner. She wants to enjoy pregnancy with a burden that is not too heavy.
On the other hand, Riky was also preoccupied with her work. Meeting schedules make it difficult to take time off.
Under his leadership, Bramasta Corp's D city branch advanced rapidly. Thanks to his skill in convincing clients, many tenders were won. But that way, Riky must be willing to spend time with Alena sacrificed.
"Sir, you better take a break. You look very tired" Andri suggested.
Riky looks really tangled. His forehead was frowning in every detail of the figures on his new project budget.
"I want all of this to be thoroughly audited before we go home tomorrow" Riky said without turning her head.
If so, Andri is unable to speak. They returned to finish the work until dusk came to say hello.
"Andri, what time will the show start?" riky asked as they entered the hotel lobby.
"Eight o'clock, sir."
"Okay, there's still time. I'd like to take a nap. Wake me up in an hour."
"Good, sir," nodded Riky.
Riky gets in the elevator. Meanwhile, Andri turned to Risa who was looking around the area.
"What are you looking for, Ris?"
"I'm looking for a salon, sir. Usually there is a spa service or something like that in this luxury hotel. I want to look beautiful on the show tonight. Mr. Andri first, I want to ask the employee first," said Risa. Andri just shook her head slowly and passed towards the elevator to get to her room.
Meanwhile, in his room Riky is on a video call with his wife. He felt relieved because Mama Widiya was quick to accompany Alena when she was not there. At least someone accompanied Alena. He did not want his wife to miss eating because of busyness.
"Sister Riky is home tomorrow at what time?"
"Afternoon flight, dear." Seeing Alena's face slightly wiped away her fatigue. However, he could see the fatigue on his wife's face.
"Darling, rest dong."
"Live a little more, brother. Liability ...."
"Yang ..." Riky's sentence continued. He chuckled at Alena who was showing off her belly which was starting to look enlarged. The man knew very well, it was done by Alena because she did not want to hear her scolding.
The manicure sparkled to see Alena who also teased him by showing other parts.
"Yang, dong. I have to go solo." His complaint. Riky tried to smile at the look on Alena's sad face while looking at her who looked very tired.
"Sister Riky said he was going to sleep. Just go to sleep, there will be an event soon. Alena's husband has his face so tangled."
Riky moves her index finger on the phone screen. Swiping Alena's face almost in every part. He was very much missed, on that beautiful face. Had this been in their apartment, he would have cooked something for Alena despite being tired of whack.
Not much different from his superiors, Andri also uses free time to rest. If Riky chatted with his wife, then Andri chatted with his sister, Kamil.
"Please, Brother. Help talk to papa and mama." Persuaded it.
Andri grunts violently.
"You already know how papa. Moreover, mama, she will not agree if you step over big brother."
"I promise to learn to be independent and responsible."
"Where will anyone believe the promise of a whiny child like you. Prove it first by working. Is marrying a child easy? What will your wife eat later? Don't embarrass the old man, De. Work first, established first, the soul mate is already there, later also comes alone."
"Omong empty. If it's like that, why hasn't Kak Andri's soul mate come too? Even though the work is already, well established also. Want to buy a house to buy, what to buy. How not to get married?"
Andri lost a lot. The man clenched a fist on his phone. Feeling angry at his sister's nudity.
