My Sweet Leaning Husband

My Sweet Leaning Husband
Many smiles


Orion went to the supermarket after returning home from college, shopping for some kitchen necessities as well for Cheryl. Rather than Cheryl herself, Orion is more concerned with health and nutrition that enter Cheryl's body.


Orion was already in front of the love table and waiting for his belongings to be counted, the young man took his wallet and was about to spend money to pay, to see the debit card Cheryl gave him. He did not intend to use the card, choosing to use his personal money to pay for all the groceries.


“Thank you,” said Orion after paying, then took his groceries.


Arriving at the apartment, Orion went straight to the kitchen, unpacked all his groceries and began preparing the dinner menu Cheryl wanted.


A smile kept on his face, hearing Cheryl want something from him made the young man happy. She now cooks in earnest, not wanting to disappoint Cheryl at all.


At exactly five o'clock in the afternoon, Orion was done cooking. The dinner menu is on the table. He stared at the dishes he made, hoping Cheryl was satisfied and liked the food.


As the door opened, Orion walked forward to greet Cheryl.


“I just finished cooking, do you want to eat first or clean yourself first?” orion asked as Cheryl took off her heels.


Cheryl was a little surprised that Orion immediately greeted her, she simply nodded and continued taking off her shoes.


“I'm a little hungry,” said Cheryl who hinted if you want to eat first.


Orion smiled broadly, then glanced at the paper bag Cheryl was carrying.


“You shopping?” ask Orion.


Cheryl looked at the hand holding the paper bag, and then looked back at Orion.


“Mami came to the company and brought me a vegetable salad as well as fruit. This is still leftover, can help put it in the refrigerator?” ask Cheryl.


Orion nodded and took the paper bag from Cheryl's hand, then hurriedly went to the kitchen to store the salad.


Cheryl notices Orion, then chooses to go in and put the bag on the sofa, then follows Orion to the dining table.


Cheryl saw the desired roasted fish, though in fact it was only a momentary wish when she saw Orion talking to a girl.


“Sit and eat,” Orion said.


The young man took a glass and poured some water for Cheryl.


“How does it feel? What same?” ask Orion curiously.


Cheryl reviews the smile then nods and puts the piece of fish back in her mouth. Orion saw many smiles since this morning, making his heart feel relieved because Cheryl's attitude was not as cold as before.

Orion picked up a pillow and prepared to sleep outside as usual. Cheryl, who had just come out of the bathroom, noticed the young man.


“You will sleep on the sofa?” ask Cheryl.


Orion looked at Cheryl, then nodded his head.


“Yes, as usual. I don't want to disturb your sleep,” Orion replied.


Cheryl bit her lower lip, staring at Orion who was about to go out.


“Ion.” Cheryl called the young man's name.


Orion stopped, turned his body and now faced Cheryl.


“You need something?” ask Orion.


Cheryl shook her head, then said, “Do not sleep on the living room sofa.”


Orion raised one corner of his eyebrow at Cheryl's words.


Cheryl looks clumsy, even taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly.


“Do not continue to sleep on the sofa, it is not good for health. I see you're not comfortable sleeping on the couch, so ..” Cheryl paused, then glanced at the bed.


Orion's still waiting for Cheryl's next sentence.


“So, what?”


“Sleep in bed.”
