Not A Perfect Marriage
CHAPTER 9 Getting used to it

Angel opened her eyes then looked up at Rio's sleeping face. Angel stroked the face of Rio who was lying next to her smoothly, Angel's smile engraved sweetly on her tiny lips.

"Eh?"

Rio suddenly opened his eyelids.

"Why? you want some more?" rio asked directly and made Angel's cheeks feel heated.

"NO!" reject Angel directly then dunk his face into Rio's chest. Rio tightened his embrace so that his little wife was not cold.

...07:00 morning..

With wet hair, Angel was in the kitchen making breakfast for her husband who was still asleep.

"What cooking is it?"

Angel is confused to cook breakfast what is the time is very meped like this.

"Eh?"

Angel was surprised as Rio came and directly hugged her from behind.

"Good morning my wife!" rio whispered and then kissed Angel's left cheek.

cup

"You are so surprised! tumben's up"

"Yeah dong! I don't want to take care of you" Rio said in a proud tone. Angel just kept silent not wanting to answer her husband's words.

"Tumben diem" asked Rio inquiring.

"Keep I have to say what? this is the time you wake up"

Rio frowned his chin as he could not take it with Angel's greeting.

"I'm the one who cooks you sit down!"

Rio took off his embrace then took out the knife that was in Angel's hand. Angel smiled happily finally Rio cooked for her. If I'm honest Rio's cooking is much better than his cooking.

Angel watches Rio cooking. Rio who is deft in the kitchen and wants to help his wife make Rio as a dream husband and Angel is grateful to get a very good husband, Rio even though Angel is aware of this marriage only until she gives birth to a child and Angel will try her best to be a good wife.

Minutes change and minutes change hours. One day.. One week.one month has passed. The awkwardness has now changed with a better atmosphere. Everything that has been passed means a lot to a better tomorrow. There is no longer a barrier that separates only laughter and happiness that is now felt. Angel and Rio's marriage has been a month and this marriage is still the secret of three hearts that are forced to unite.

Angel now has dared to nag Rio and Rio can only be silent a thousand languages even Rio never angry with Angel because of what Angel did for the good of him which is actually Rio very indifferent to him alone only work and work that is in Rio's head.

"Dear, I'm sorry!"

"Congratulations sorry to me anyway! it should be to yourself! look at your eye bags! it's black like that! if the panda is funny while you are!!?"

Angel vented all that annoyance, worry and anxiety to Rio. Angel was furious that Rio was forcing himself too much to work from morning until morning again and not allowing his body to rest.

Rio could only sit down dazedly staring at the face of Angel who was extremely annoyed at him.

"Mending you a shower!"

"Yes"

Like a child Rio instantly obeyed the words of Angel. Rio moved from his seat walking towards the room.

"Huhahh. When can you appreciate your physicality? I know you're healthy until now but tomorrow? all is not necessarily"

Angel follows Rio to the room there are things he must do to reduce Rio's fatigue.

bathrooms.

"Have a wife every day mutely! when do I love him?" rio said with a dramatic tone. Rio misses the cute and adorable Angel instead of the present one, his work is just ranting indistinctly.

The sound of the bathroom doorknob opening made Rio turn towards the door and his eyes immediately rounded when he saw who entered. Angel entered the bathroom without knocking on the door first.

"Darling, you are! luckily I haven't undressed!" rio said with annoyance. Angel looked at Rio flatly.

"What if I take off my shirt?" Angel stared mischievously at Rio making Rio glare. Since when did his wife become like this.

"You yeah!!"

"What?" ask Angel with her face. Rio slowly approached Angel with a mysterious smile on his lips making Angel take a few steps back.

"Where are you going?"

"Eh?"

Rio instantly pulled Angel into his embrace. Rio hugged Angel tightly while Angel snorted annoyed even more this close distance Angel could smell the scent of Rio's sweat.

"No, not my embrace?" asked Rio who was still hugging Angel.

"The island's gone so it's not retorted" replied the original Angel and managed to make Rio wrinkle his chin.

Angel felt something strange. Angel instantly pushed Rio's body and stared intently at him.

"That's you, yeah!!" annoyed Angel and instantly confirmed the zipper of his shirt that Rio opened. The location of the shirt zipper behind made Rio's ignorant idea appear.

"Kirain wants to take a bath together" Rio said in his innocent tone while Angel seemed to disagree with what Rio said.

"Diddeliver! basic byebelin!"

"The nyebelin ngangenin. What are you doing here? sonoh out!" drive Rio away while pointing at the bathroom door. Angel grunted annoyedly.

"It's also coming out, but before that I want to do something"

Rio just let his wife who is somehow doing what is clearly his wife is now filling the bathtub with warm water and also liquid soap that smells of mind-soothing therapy.

Now the water in the bathtub is full of water plus foam. Angel looked towards Rio.

"You should soak first so that your thin body does not smell sour!!"

Angel instantly took a thousand steps before Rio rampaged.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?? ish!" Rio adjusted his breathing for his emotions to subside. Rio is sometimes irritated by Angel who is getting nosier and more magical bin. Sometimes Angel all day can mengambek sometimes jahil sometimes make gemes and many more because that Rio always wants to go home even though in his work room there is everything Rio needs but he always worried about Angel.

Rio's smile reappeared on his face. Rio also did what Angel told him maybe his body became fresher when soaking.

...

Angel was lighting a room fragrance that smelled lavender like Rio liked in the room. He wanted Rio to momentarily forget the burden of his work.

"I'd better take dinner for Rio. He must have not eaten. Huuuff I'm worried"

Angel also stepped out of the room to the kitchen. 30 minutes passed Rio out of the bathroom while drying his hair with a towel. As he stepped out the scent of lavender pierced Rio's nose.

"This?"

Rio looked around and found an object that might be said to be like a vase that was emitting steam in the corner of the room.

"Tumbens? is there a shrimp behind the rock? I don't know what the kid wants?"

Rio guessed that Angel did this all had its own intentions. A minute later, Angel entered the room with a tray on top of the food for Rio.

"Eat!" said Angel while putting the tray on the table but Rio like ignoring Angel. Rio was more willing to comb his hair. Angel snorted in annoyance, Angel knew what Rio wanted.

"I bribe" said Angel with a lazy tone and sure enough Rio smiled and walked over to Angel.

Rio sat next to Angel then opened his mouth.

"You're laper?"

"She was told to take a shower"

"You didn't say it either"

"Abis just came home scolded" said Rio with a made-up tone making Angel chuckle softly.

"Sorry, now open his mouth"

Angel feeds Rio affectionately in her eyes and Rio can see it all. No one wants to open a chat just the sound of a spoon clashing with a plate.

"Darling" Rio called directly to take the plate in Angel's hand.

"You haven't eaten either? now it's my turn to bribe you"

"I've eaten already"

"Don't lie!" pinta Rio with a tone full of emphasis. Rio was sure that his wife had not eaten because she was busy worrying about him.

"aaa"

Angel also according. They both bribe each other until the rice is drained.

Angel put the plate on the table. Angel pityed Rio who looked very tired.

"I pijit yah" Angel bargained and replied to Rio's nod. Rio patted her shoulder as if telling Angel to massage her shoulder. Rio turned his body and now he was sitting on his back to Angel.

Angel immediately stomped on Rio's shoulder with her tiny hand. Rio closed his eyes as if comfortable with Angel's massage that was not really felt but the attention of Angel was the one who made his fatigue disappear.

20:00

Angel is still looking at Rio who is now lying on his stomach. Angel knew Rio was asleep but she was still stomping on Rio's body - this was all she could do.

The subtle snoring from Rio made Angel smile in relief at last Rio could rest.

"Sleep well, baby"

Angel covers Rio's body and then kisses Rio's head. Angel who is not sleepy chose to watch TV on the bottom floor.

...

The sound of the morning song is brought by the birds singing with their merdunya. The moon is now changing with warm sunlight and all the creatures on this earth are waking up to start a new day and new challenges.

Angel slowly opened her eyelids. Angel was surprised when she saw Rio who was not beside her.

"Where are people?"

Angel looked towards the bathroom but the door did not close and surely Rio was not there. Angel got off the bed and exited the room to look for Rio.

"Where the hell?"

Angel walked quickly while looking around without seeing what was in front of him at this time.

"Sir Rio's a sweet one! did you leave for the office but it's a day sa-.. eh?"

Buugggg

20 Minutes earlier

Rio woke up from sleep. Angel still closed her eyes. Rio's smile was etched perfectly when he saw Angel's innocent sleeping face.

Rio brought his face closer to Angel's face. Rio's warm kiss landed on Angel's lips. Rio's peeping at Angel's tiny lips.

"You must be tired of cleaning this house alone? did I help you, Dad?" Rio directly got off the bed walking towards the exit of the room. Rio closed the room door slowly so that Angel did not wake up.

Rio was confused as to what he should do first. Clean the house or clean the yard.

"You want to wander but the ground's still wet, do I mop the floor?"

Rio walked towards the place of the cleaning tools. Rio picked up the bucket and the floor pressing tool.

"How many marks?"

Rio was at a loss to enter just how much floor cleaning fluid.

"Put everything in!" Rio poured out all the liquid inside the bottle that stayed half then walked towards the living room.

Rio directly dipped the mop cloth then started mopping without first squeezing the mop cloth. The way Rio mopped the floor was correct, Rio moved backwards but unfortunately the water from the floor mopper was now calm and there could be someone who slipped.

Rio was focused on mopping until he did not see Angel coming.

Bugs

Rio was surprised to hear that voice, he immediately turned his head. Both eyes now find Angel in pain and Rio can guess that he will soon be taken all out by Angel.

Angel slipped until she fell.

"Ouch!" Angel complained while holding her waist. Not usually slippery floors like this and this is not the area of the kitchen, if in the kitchen it is natural because there could be an oil spill. Angel looked ahead and both eyes saw Rio who was holding the handle of the floor press and also the floor that was wet due to Rio. Rio mopped the floor without squeezing the cloth first.

"SISTER RIIOOOO!!!" angel yelled in annoyance while Rio just showed his innocent smile.

"H you yeah!! why is the floor so wet??" ask Angel with a wrathful face.

"I just want to help you clean the house" Rio said defensively fearing that Angel scolded him.

"Sadly if you can not mengepel yes do not need if you want to help the practice that you can" said Angel with a tone full of patience. Angel knew Rio really wanted to help because that Angel was not angry.

"I'm sorry, here I help you stand"

Rio approached Angel and made her stand up. Angel has pain in her leg.

"Now you want to wear a dry floor mop! I'm gonna take a shower"

Angel left Rio. Rio felt so guilty that he had chosen to water the plants instead of mopping the floor.

"It's certain that the boy is angry" Rio accepted fate only if later Angel scolded him after this. Rio instantly picked up the dry floor mopping to dry this wet floor.

....

10:00

Rio snorted in annoyance, it had been a few hours Angel did not speak as if Angel was angry with him.

Rio stared flatly at Angel who was polishing the powder on his face. Angel who was aware of herself being watched instantly turned her head towards Rio.

"Why do you see me like that?"

"No!" rejecting Angel instantly made Rio's chin growl.

"Do I have to buy that for you again??"

Angel frowned as Rio said the word "it" and that second Angel knew what "it" meant by Rio. Goods that are always there every month/pads.

"Yes, come on!"

Rio smiled at Angel finally coming with him.

"Come!!"

...

Supermarkets.

Rio pushed the grocery trolley while Angel was looking around at the neatly arranged item being raked.

"Honey want this snack" Angel pointed to one of the snack brands that look attractive picture.

"Yes take it. Buy your needs too!"

"Yes"

Angel smiled happily even a happy angel walked ahead of Rio.

1 hour has passed now the trolley is full of various snacks and other needs.

"Is there anything else you want to buy?" rio asked Angel.

"There"

"What?"

"Es cream. Beliin!"

"Yes"

...

cafes

The sun is shining so hot out there. Hot air makes the esophagus feel dry.

Angel and Rio were in the cafe and Rio was astonished to see his wife gobbling up the second bowl of ice cream. Angel's face was mediocre when devouring ice cream as if his teeth were immune to the cold sensation.

"Darling, don't get a lot of colds!"

Angel shook her head as if she did not want to obey. Rio was eager to take the bowl of ice cream in front of this Angel by force for fear of Angel getting a cold but it seems Rio had to reduce his intention because Angel can sulk.

"Go home yuk!" bring Rio. Angel glanced towards Rio as if annoyed at him.

"After you finish the ice cream" Rio said.

..Homehouse..

After cleaning the groceries that have been purchased now Rio and Angel are playing PS in the middle room while snacking and the habit of Angel snacking is now infecting Rio. Even now on Rio's desk there are setoples of banana chips, usually when Rio is tired he will snack while video call with Angel. Rio instead of forgetting Sena. Every day Rio calls Sena but unfortunately Sena sometimes does not pick up her phone and Sena only calls Rio if asking for something.

"Not trying this one!" Angel brought the chocolate wafer pack closer to Rio.

"Call the sister again for the story?" uacap Rio while taking a chocolate wafer. Angel just looked at me while smiling.

"As much as you are" Rio relented anyway as if Angel was paying attention to him.

Playing PS makes these two people forget the time and do not feel it was five in the afternoon. The ringing sound of Rio's phone made the two stop playing.

"I picked up the phone first?"

Angel nodded. Rio walked away leaving Angel. Angel is back playing PS.

After being quite far away from Angel, Rio also picked up the phone call.

"Why is it so long?? are you still working??"

Rio hasn't said a word yet but the woman over there is already nyerocos at length, if in thought Angel has something in common with her mother Rio if you are worried.

"Ma, too"

"You're! you haven't been home for a long time so Mama wants you to come home! take Sena too but if she wants to. You know what your wife looks like?"

Rio sighed, had his mother known what had happened for sure he would have been very angry at Sena.

"Sena's at Ma's parents' house"

"You're home alone?"

"There is no bi Inda"

"As far as you! you have to go to Mama's house don't want to know you have to come! tomorrow's Sunday no more excuses like yesterday!"

It seems like Rio's mother really wanted him to come and that means he has to leave Angel alone at home.

"Yes Ma"

Rio instantly disconnected his phone connection.

"Well, is the child okay to stay?" Rio immediately rushed back to the middle room.

"Darling!"

Angel turned to Rio. Rio was confused to say what he had promised tonight to go to the night market.

"Why?"

"Emm. I'm sorry I have business"

"So?"

"Not going to night. Sorry yeah?"

Although disappointed Angel can not do anything anyway he just hitchhiked here and has no right to demand more.

"Yes already. It's okay, oh yeah baby tomorrow I'm going to go rough"

"Yes, I'm home early tomorrow"

"No need to book a taxi online"

Angel showed her best smile making Rio calm leaving Angel alone at home.

"Prepare to get ready!"

Rio nodded then went to the room.

..

Angel waved her hand towards Rio. After Rio's car is not seen Angel just entered the house.

This is the first Angel left alone at home at night and Rio said that he came home tomorrow afternoon or the day after.

"What am I tomorrow? not El! Rio can be angry!!"

...

Rio's old man's house

Rio entered his childhood home and just a few steps of Rio nose smelled the very delicious aroma of cooking from the kitchen. Rio stepped towards the kitchen. Arriving in the kitchen Rio saw his mother who was cooking.

"That's good Ma!"

Amanda's the name of Rio's mother. Amanda who was surprised immediately turned her head and found her son had arrived at home usually when she called to come here, Rio had only arrived two hours later.

"Your tumben has arrived?"

"And Sena's not home, Rio's also been bialngkan earlier on the phone?"

"Yes. Uh?"

Amanda realized something strange about this son. Amanda looked at Rio's chubby cheeks as if this wasn't her son.

"aww.. Mama!"

Rio complained as Amanda pulled her cheek. Amanda still doesn't believe in Rio's physique right now. Yesterday Rio looked tired and full of pressure until his body looked thin even Rio cheeks could not be pulled like this.

"Tumben cheek you can pull? said Amanda who still pulled Rio's cheek.

"Parent is sick!" Amanda just took off a pinch on Rio's cheek. Rio's father named Riko who was in the workroom now approached his son and wife.

"You're Rio?"

"Eh Papa"

"What are the storms?" ask Riko curiously.

"Now, Mama Rio's cheek time is pulled! where it hurts!" rio said as if to complain to her Papa like a child. Riko herself was aware of the Rio changeover from a few weeks ago from her staff. Rio was not as me as before even now Rio looks no burden and starts to appreciate himself.

"Then anyway? Papa's curious"

Rio snorted in annoyance after Riko said that.

"You are the same! the child's own time is pinched!!"

"We don't have any grandchildren yet so you're the one who pulled her cheek"

Rio's increasingly wrinkling his chin. This is the reason why Rio does not want to come here too often what else if with Sena surely Amanda will ask for Sena's pregnancy program and can make Sena feel uncomfortable.

"You kids aren't just Rio just telling kids to get married!"

"Your sister still wants to be alone and you still call her a boy, where is there a wedding boy?"

"Bare Papa. Ma, Rio laper!"

"Well, let's eat, your sister's coming home soon"

Amanda took the rice to Rio who seemed to have starved. Riko looked at Rio who was now making her heart relieved. Rio was healthier and friendlier than usual.

"What do you eat with Sena?"

riko asked Rio because he was curious what made Rio cheeks so chubby like that.

"Eat rice!"

"Tumben, your wife usually likes to eat vegetable salad?"

"And he's not Rio. Life's only once so Rio works day and night eating only raw vegetables!"

Amanda and Riko couldn't believe what Rio said just now.

"Yes, Papa understands and papa equally mama is not worried anymore with your health!"

"Relax Pa, Rio won't be sick!"

"You still like to underestimate your health! if it hurts, know how you feel!" upset Riko. Rio only showed her a row of teeth.

Arfan who had just returned home stepped foot into the house and Arfan's ear heard a voice from the kitchen because of curiosity Arfan also walked towards the kitchen.

Arfan's smile appeared when he saw Rio who was busy chatting with their parents.

"Sister Rio?" call Arfan to Rio. These three people immediately turned towards Arfan.

"Why Fan? do you doubt that this is your brother?" riko asked jokingly and Arfan innocently nodded at Riko's words.

"Whoa!!" rio Geregetan.

"We'd better have dinner first but the side dishes are still warm!" amanda mediates her two children.

....

Market 08:00 am

Angel got off the taxi online in the message. Angel started to step into the market. This market is not the usual Angel and Rio shopping. Angel has its own purpose when she shops in a market far from home.

"I'd better shop first"

Angel went around the market while carrying a list of groceries in his hands. As much as possible Angel puffed her groceries so that she could meet someone she really missed.

An hour and a half went by now Angel's shopping cart was full.

"I have to hurry before closing!"

Angel rushed to leave the market to the highway not far from the market.

Angel looked at the simple food stall across the street. It looks like a woman who is serving buyers with hospitality.

Without realizing the feet of Angel who began to cross the road. Angel's tears came down on their own. This longing to be truly unstoppable again.

"Mother" said Angel as she watched from outside. Angel is eager to hug the woman who gave birth to her at the stake of life.

"Angel kangen! Angel wants to go with Mom, Angel wants to go home"

Angel realized this was wrong but she wanted to see her parents. Angel clenched her hand when she realized all this could get herself into more complicated trouble. His mother could ask things that might make him unable to answer the questions of the streak of his mother.

"Maybe this is not the time. Sorry Mom, Angel's not a good kid for mom"

Angel turned her back and stepped away from her mother's food stall.

"ANGELS!"
