Not A Perfect Marriage
CHAPTER 17 Special gifts

"If I have given birth to a child for you, can I be with him and the covenant will it end?"

Angel dressed Rio with a look full of hope and also certainty. Actually Angel did not want to ask that because for him it was very painful to imagine everything that would happen. Rio did not immediately reply, for him it is difficult to determine who he will choose.

"Can't you answer it?"

Somehow Angel felt very disappointed but Angel could not express it yet he was the one who chose all this.

"I-i"

Drtts.drtttt.

Rio's words were cut off by the sound of his cell phone ringing which rang out loud. Rio instantly grabbed his phone and was surprised to see who called him.

"Papa?"

Rio immediately nodded at the phone call. Angel just looked at Rio. Angel frowned when she saw the look on Rio's face that looked upset.

"What should Rio? why not just Arfan?"

Rio looks upset and it looks like Rio is facing a problem but Angel does not know what.

"Good Pa"

After closing the phone Rio immediately sighed heavily.

"Why?"

Rio looked towards Angel. Rio's gaze was full of guilt. Rio was told by his father to preside over an important meeting tomorrow and Rio could not refuse it.

"Sorry we have to go home now"

"Huh?"

Angel looks very disappointed but seeing Rio like that Angel can only comply.

"Yes, I'm done first"

Angel immediately moved from her seat to clean the clothes into the suitcase. Rio looked at Angel with a look full of guilt.

...

After returning home from Central Lombok, Rio became super busy and even had a few weeks ago Rio came home at midnight. Because of that Angel always fell asleep on the living room couch, waiting for Rio to come home. Like now.

Rio smiled when he saw Angel's beautiful face sleeping on the sofa which was certainly uncomfortable. Rio himself did not ask Angel to wait for him to come home and even Rio forbade Angel to sleep in the guest room.

"Basic recalcitrant"

With the remaining energy Rio carried the tiny body Angel moved into the room.

...

Rooms

Rio wore a blanket on Angel's body after that Rio cleaned his body that felt very tired.

"Huffff, this is so exhausting"

Rio turned his head towards Angel who was soundly asleep. Rio narrowed his eyes when he saw Angel's cheeks getting softer and Rio only realized that Angel was getting "contained".

"Well, that's why I'm adding to his work spirit"

Rio's been peeping Angel's cheeks for quite a while. He wants Angel to feel his kiss until the dream that Angel is exploring.

.. 06:30

Rio slowly opened his eyelids. Her ears heard something from inside the bathroom, it was like the sound of Angel being munt*h.

"Why else would you be a child"

Although the eyes are still not open perfectly and drowsiness is still felt, Rio came down from the bed to approach his tiny wife who seems less body-conscious.

"Why again"

Rio was kneeling Angel's neck with a face that was still sleepy. Angel felt her stomach was very nauseous. Counted already one week he was nauseous in the morning and the ulcer drug was no longer working.

"To the hospital?"

Invite Rio who is tired of taking care of the office and plus the condition of Angel like this.

"I'm nothin"

Angel washed her mouth and turned to face Rio. Angel tried to smile so Rio wouldn't worry.

"That's pale? nothing at all?"

"Really! what time did you come home last night? if it's late why not just stay at the office? he says your workspace has what you need?"

Rio stared flat at Angel because he asked Angel's condition now but Angel instead shifted the subject.

"If I stay in the office, who will carry you to the room? I told you not to wait for me to come home! I'm tired of working and I have to pick you up!"

Rio's tone sounded annoyed and felt Angel sound Rio impressed half snapped making Angel's chest tight and tears dripping without excuse. Angel was crying and even sobbed in front of Rio.

"Eh?"

Rio so panicked himself seeing Angel crying.

"Dear don't cry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to"

Rio immediately grabbed Angel tightly. Angel still sobbing in Rio.

"Udah, don't cry anymore"

....

Angel wants to put a tie in Rio's lapel. But just getting closer to Rio Angel's nose smelled the pungent smell of Rio's perfume and made him want to munt*h.

"Emmm"

Angel rushed to the bathroom while closing her mouth. Seeing such an Angel made Rio feel confused and also strange.

"Why you?" rio asked directly as Angel exited the bathroom.

"Your perfume!! it makes you nauseous!"

Angel said with great regret. Rio frowned even though this was the perfume he used to wear.

"It's a regular perfume"

"Don't want to know!! anyway it makes me nauseous"

"I'm sorry, I don't wear perfume tomorrow. Now I'm off and don't sleep on the couch again understand?"

"Yes"

Rio took a tie lying on the floor and then out of the room when he really wanted to kiss the tiny lips of Angel yes what can be done rather than nagging Angel because of the scent of this perfume.

"Why the hell is a child? know ah again PMS times"

Rio did not take a dizzy from Angel's behavior just now instead Rio wished that something had happened.

...

12:00 noon

Rio's old man's house

Rio is playing PS motor GP in the middle room. She needs something fun before she works again.

"Huff"

Rio still imagined the pale face of Angel but what can make Angel tell him not to worry even Angel told him not to go home in lunch and therefore Rio is here. More comfortable at home than at the office.

"Rio, what do you want to eat?" amanda asked her eldest son but Rio just shook his head.

"You're! yasudah if it's like Mama cook that Mama wants"

Rio just nodded, himself still focused on the TV screen. Amanda just shook her head and rushed into the kitchen while her mouth was muttering indistinctly.

"Having three kids is all workaholic"

Grunts Amanda. The other one was Riko's own husband.

..

"Sauces"

Rio stretched out his two hands to relax his stiffened hand muscles. As Rio turned his head outside the window Rio saw his fruitful mango tree yet it still seemed to be raw.

"It looks good to be made up of rujak"

Rio instantly turned off the TV and rushed to the side to pluck the mango.

Rio looked around looking for something to pluck the mango.

"There's bamboo, try it"

Rio picked up the bamboo that was not far from where he was standing. The long lumanyan bamboo, Rio began to direct the bamboo tip to the mango tree and.

"Yes"

Rio immediately took the mango that was chuckling on the ground.

"Tell bi Asih only"

Rio looking for bi Asih. Bi Asih is one of the household assistants who has worked here for a long time.

"Bi Asih!!"

"Yes Den"

"Please make a rujak"

Rio handed over the mango he picked earlier. Bi Asih received it and nodded.

"What mango is mixed with other fruits?"

"May, if you please bring the middle room"

"Yes den"

20 minutes passed at last which Rio was willing to come as well. Bi Asih brought a plate of pieces of fruit with a bowl of medium-size chili to chocolate the fruit.

"Thank you bi"

"The same-den"

Rio immediately ate it, the sour and spicy taste of the sweet sauce made Rio's mouth stop chewing.

Rio ate the rujak up to half but it looks like Rio can not eat it anymore because the sauce made bi Asih makes his lips feel burning with his spicy horn.

"Medes"

Rio headed straight for the kitchen looking for something that could eliminate this spicy flavor.

After Rio left. Riko who just came home saw a rujak who lived half and somehow Riko's smile appeared. Riko went straight to the kitchen looking for his wife.

Riko hugged Amanda. Amanda was surprised to get a hug from behind.

"Eh?"

Amanda immediately saw the face of the person who was hugging her.

"You why? it hurt?" amanda asked in confusion but Riko smiled at Amanda and made Amanda even more confused.

"Why are you?"

"Do you want a story?"

"What news? I don't understand what you mean?"

Riko snorted in annoyance and further made Amanda's forehead wrinkle.

"You pregnant?"

"Huh? got pregnant? you want another child?"

"Qc"

Riko took off her embrace and looked flat at Amanda.

"Hhhh why the hell? how come back and forth like that?"

"I think you're pregnant, abis in front of you, you're craving"

Amanda immediately laughed at Riko's words according to Amanda, the woman who ate ramjak in the middle of the room was not necessarily a cravings and she also did not feel eating rujak.

"Why laugh? just a real time"

"What does Pa mean?"

"Then wait for your granddaughter to get pregnant"

"But you yeah! if you're pregnant, that's okay"

"Where can pregnant men Ma, if the hell can"

Amanda immediately threw a washcloth towards Riko and along with that Rio came over.

"What's the cake doing?" rio asked suddenly.

"This is your Papa when Mama is thought to be pregnant just because of the rujak in front"

"You really have Rio's got another sister"

"You said Papa!"

Amanda snorted annoyedly these two people always supported each other from anything.

"Mama's old, you're quick to love Mama's grandchildren! my mom's friends already have grandchildren all" said Amanda with the tone of her mother-emak sewot.

"Please, that's not a doll! anyways that eat rujak it's Rio not Mama"

The two old men Rio just rounded his lips.

"Sister Rio here?"

I don't know where Arfan is behind these three guys. In Rio's mind came across a mischievous idea that made the atmosphere even more exciting.

"Fan, we're gonna have a jackass!"

"Really Ma?" asked Arfan enthusiastically.

"You want to lie to your sister" Amanda replied casually. Arfan looked at Rio with an unsightly look whereas Rio only looked at his row of teeth.

"Don't talk anymore! let's eat"

"Yes Queen" compact these three people and make Amanda can only snort in annoyance.

"As far as you are"

...

15:00

Rio was discussing work with Riko for the project to be worked on and also reassuring the shareholders.

"Rio, Papa knows this job is very piling up but Papa please don't push yourself!"

"Rio has nothing Pa, Rio can still handle"

"If you want Papa to help you say so"

"That's easy. Rio's back to the office"

"Be careful on the road"

....

At 03:00 in the morning

Angel snorted annoyedly because Rio did not come home. Angel felt himself sleepy but Angel tried not to care about his drowsiness because he wanted to surprise his beloved husband.

Hearing the sound of Rio's car, Angel hurriedly stepped to the front door. The door was opened by Rio.

"Dear"

Rio was shocked and annoyed at the sight of who was standing in front of him and without feeling guilty with a wide smile towards him.

"You're a su-"

"Ssttts"

Angel cut Rio's speech. Rio could only snort in annoyance.

"Closed his eyes!"

"Make what?"

"Secure!"

"Yes"

Rio closed both eyes and Angel instantly pulled Rio's hand towards the dining table.

"Don't peek!" threaten Angel.

"Nga"

Arriving at the dinner table Angel told Rio to open his eyes and how surprised to see the birthday cake on the dining table.

"Welcome back to my husband!!"

Angel said with pleasure. Rio was both happy and annoyed. He suspected that from this morning he was bullied by Angel.

"Am I having a birthday today?"

"Yes. I saw your ID"

Rio smiled happily at seeing this all and this was his first time celebrating the re-knowing with Angel.

"Thank you dear"

cup

Rio kissed Angel's forehead warmly.

"Now blow out the candles but make a wish first!"

"I'm happy with you"

Rio blew the candle on the cake.

Angel clapped and cheered making Rio chuckle.

"Well, I bought your money. I don't have any money"

"Nothing, a gift for me?"

Angel puts a gift in front of the cake. The shape of the gift is exactly small gum wrapping.

"This is what, dear? what's a toothpick pen?" Canda Rio however Angel is not angry or anything.

"Open up!"

Rio according. He opened his card. Rio was silent for quite a long time while looking into the box.

"Why?"

"I.this? ka.your?"

08:30 am flash back

After Rio left, Angel immediately put her body on the bed.

"I why?"

Angel felt there was something strange on her and she did not know what was clearly this uncomfortable stomach.

Angel fingered the mattress looking for her phone.

"Yet, I'd better apologize"

When you want to send a message, Angel was surprised to see the date shown on his phone screen.

"A 25th? I haven't? what's?"

Angel wakes up from her sleep and walks to the bathroom.

After being in the bathroom, Angel immediately looked for a pregnancy test.

"Hopefully, God, I beg you"

15 Minutes passed

Angel flipped the pregnancy test and her smile spread perfectly.

flash end

Rio turned towards Angel with a blank face. Angel chuckled at Rio's such expression.

"Yes I'm pregnant"

Rio immediately hugged Angel tightly. The contents of the gift are a pregnancy test that shows two red lines that mean there is life in Angel's womb.

"Thank you baby!"

Rio could not hold haru. She was crying happily and so was Angel. Rio could not express his feelings now which was clearly the most beautiful gift in his life.

Rio took off his embrace as well as Angel. Rio kneels before Angel and hugs Angel's stomach, which is there his future child is developing and prayers are always in line with each tiny heartbeat. Rio smiled with happiness at the end of his wait was comfortable already staying to care for Angel and her future baby.

cup

Rio's been peeping at Angel's stomach for quite a while. Angel was happy with all this. His heart was so happy to know there was life in his life, Angel swore to take care of the life God had laid on him.

"You're fine in there"

Rio started talking to Angel's fetuses. Angel now knows how happy Rio is with the presence of the little angel whom God has entrusted even though it is still early Rio has shown his affection.

"Papa will take care of you with Mama. Baby I told Mama to eat a lot of yah! let's not be thin like this"

The last sentence of Rio's speech made Angel's chin wrinkle. I don't know how many times Rio's been saying it's skinny.

Rio got up and immediately pinched Angel's cheek in his anxiety.

"Aawws"

"You're just worried about me, tomorrow we're going to the doctor?"

Angel nodded. Angel glanced at Rio's birthday cake like Angel wanted it.

"Want to?"

Angel nodded again. Rio instantly cut the cake and fed it this pregnant bumil lovingly.

"Udah"

"Udah?" rio asked in wonder when this was just a mouthful.

"I'm sleepy"

Rio chuckled and directly carried Angel's body into the room. Just one step Angel began to close her eyes.

"It looks like I have to move rooms"

Said Rio who started to climb the stairs. Rio was afraid that Angel was exhausted from climbing the stairs and did not want anything bad to happen to Angel and her fetus.

...

The singing birds welcome the warm sunshine.

Rio was gently stroking Angel's stomach, actually Rio from last night never diverted his hand from Angel's stomach.

"Emm"

"Good morning bumil "

The warm kiss Angel got from Rio was fond of her. Angel's eyelids are only half open and seem to be closing again.

"Sleep again? never mind, maybe you should take a lot of rest"

Rio chose not to bother Angel. Rio got off the bed carefully so that next to him this was not getting up.

"Make breakfast what?"

Rio rushed to the kitchen to make breakfast for him and his two-bodied wife.

...

Angel was lifted from her sleep because of the nausea she felt. Angel went straight to the bathroom.

"Is this what it's like to be pregnant? really nauseous"

Angel washed his mouth and wiped his mouth with a tissue.

Angel caressed her flat stomach.

"Darad don't make mom nauseous"

Angel directly exited the bathroom and was immediately greeted by Rio.

"Munt*ah again?"

Angel nodded then stepped towards the bed, for some reason the bed felt weak.

"Eat ya?"

"Don't want to be nauseous"

Rio instantly kissed Angel's forehead at a glance. Angel's face looked very pale and uninspired.

"A little more than later your ulcer relapses, later added nausea loh"

"Yes already"

Rio smiled at Angel finally complying. Angel chews slowly actually Angel is lazy to eat because her stomach feels bad.

"Neither are you nauseous?"

Angel just shook her head and opened her mouth again. Although it feels bland in the tongue but Angel forced to continue to fill his stomach because there is something to be delivered in his womb.

"Drink first"

Angel received a glass filled with water to drink a few gulps but after that nausea again appeared.

"Why?"

Rio asked as he saw Angel silencing her own mouth then going down to the bathroom. Rio immediately followed Angel.

"Yesampun, but have eaten a lot" said Rio when he saw Angel munth*h.

....

10:00

Rio was holding a sleeping Angel. Seeing this kind of Angel feels hard to leave her alone at home.

"You have to be strong well, I'll take care of you"

Rio kissed the top of Angel's head long enough to wish Angel was asleep but what happened Angel instead opened his eyelids.

"She said she wanted a doctor?" ask Angel directly.

"You're up"

cup

Rio kissed Angel's lips at a glance. Angel felt her body was not as golden as it was.

"Well, what will it be tonight?" rio asked as he tidied Angel's hair.

"Now"

"Yes already"

...

Mother's love clinic

Checkroom

Rio listened well to what the female Doctor in front of him said while Angel was stroking her stomach.

".... the condition of the fetus is healthy just have a lot of rest and do not do work that drains calm"

"Nice, Doc?"

"Later I will give the same medicine vitamins"

"Thank you doc"

The woman's doctor immediately wrote a prescription for the drug to be redeemed at the pharmacy.

"This is the recipe and this book should always be brought in during a check of the contents"

The doctor handed him a piece of paper and a pink book.

"I'll excuse you"

...

Supermarkets

Rio pushed the shopping trolley that was still empty. Rio is looking for special milk for pregnant women, Rio wants his future child healthy.

"Sir Rio wait"

Rio immediately stopped his steps then turned his head back. Rio was surprised to see Angel left behind.

"Come"

"Rubber!"

Angel immediately sat in a long chair not far from where it was. Rio immediately approached Angel.

Rio sat next to Angel and immediately stroked Angel's stomach.

"We bought milk back home"

"Yes, come on"

Angel got up from her seat then extended her hand to Rio. Rio knew this wife wanted to join hands.

"Yes my darling"

Rio immediately clasped Angel's hand. They stepped hand in hand towards the shelf where there are various kinds of special milk brands pregnant women (pregnant mothers).

"Where do you want?"

"Emm, want some chocolate"

"Vanila is just yah"

"So they were told to choose!" angel's chin instantly shriveled. Rio just pointed at his row of teeth which made Angel even more annoyed.

"Have a baby"

Rio took the chocolate milk box. Angel looked around and saw a row of snacks that made him want to eat one of the snacks.

"Dear"

"Hemm"

"You snack"

Rio turned to Angel. Angel looked at Rio with full of supplication.

"You can't eat a lot of MSG"

"But I want to"

Angel keeps forcing the buy of snacks to Rio. Rio forbids but Rio also does not want to make Angel sad and certainly there are safer to consume here.

"We're looking for another one"

"But"

"What do you want to snack on?" rio asked and surely Angel still wanted camila.

"Now"

30 Minutes passed. Angel's legs are already very sore and her stomach feels hungry but Rio doesn't seem to be nervous about what he feels now.

Rio was looking at the composition that was wrapped in a snack that he wanted to buy. Rio wants the best for Angel and her son.

Rio was shocked when Angel's hand suddenly picked up a pack of senwiches located beside him.

Rio turned to Angel. Angel immediately opened the package and ate the senwic greedily.

"You hungry?"

Angel just nodded with her mouth still chewing. Rio realized that his wife will often feel hungry because small is growing and needs more nutrition.

"We've been looking for food, after paying for it"

"I want you to cook!"

"Well then?"

"Your son wants to"

"Yes already"

...

Homehouse

Angel was eating a snack of banana chips to prop up a hungry stomach while waiting for Rio to finish cooking.

"Sir Rio is so long!" grunts Angel immediately turned on the TV and happened to be directly diabah Angel's favorite way.

Not long ago Rio came with food for Angel. Rio's smile expands as Angel laughs over the show on TV.

"Former laugh, eat first"

"aaa"

Rio immediately greeted Angel affectionately. Rio did not feel tired or what was with Angel especially when Angel hummed his baby. Rio had thought of Sena when Sena was pregnant so spoiled like Angel now but everyone was definitely different.

Rio was very happy when Angel ate it like never before. Angel is now more appetizing and more cheerful than this morning.

"Yeeyyy out, well that's dong if you eat"

Rio was grateful this time Angel did not feel nauseous. Rio kissed Angel's lips at a glance and kissed Angel's stomach.

"I made milk?"

"Later, my stomach was full"

"Yes"

"Hoaamm"

Angel yawns after the boat fills up. Angel rubbed his eyes which began to fall heavily.

"Yah's room?"

"You sleep on your lap"

Angel directly positioned her head on Rio's lap. Rio smiled at a glance then stroked Angel's head hair gently.

Slowly Angel's eyelids slowly closed and a subtle snoring rang out in Rio's ear.

"You're getting prettier, your cheeks are getting more chubby"

Rio pov

Am I dreaming? it's like a dream after all this time I've been waiting for but is this going to be a problem? I don't know later now yes now, I will live it as usual, ordinary with a different meaning I will now become a father. Before all that I will ensure the health of you, my wife and future children.

"Qc"

I remember Sena. What the hell is he doing? why from yesterday he didn't call me and I didn't dare call him because I didn't want to bother him when I wanted to tell him this news and I couldn't wait to get him home.

"Sister Rio don't go"

"Eh?"

I was shocked when Angel's tiny lips made a sound. I see her eyes are still closed but those tears are flowing from her eyes, is she a nightmare?.

"Darling, let's get up"

I panicked even more as Angel sobbed in her sleep. I patted Angel's cheek a little hard for Angel to wake up.

"...."
