Rapa & Cleona: Keeping the Heart
100. Always a Reason

Cleona is so beautiful with a pregnant dress in sea blue, very contrasting with her white skin. The dress, which was only a knee length, made Cleona look cute with her distended stomach, and Rapa who was behind her immediately wrapped her hands around Cleona's lower abdomen as if propping her children away from falling. The kiss did not forget Rapa lay on the cheek of her beloved woman, then the two looked at each other through the large mirror in front of her, throwing a smile at each other before they both laughed.

“You are beautiful,” Rapa slowly spoke, her gaze still fixed on the reflection of Cleona in the mirror. “And I love,” he continued while again floating a kiss on the same cheek.

“You left no?” Rapa who was still comfortable in her position nodded her head. But not moving, making Cleona chuckle softly and give a pinch of anxiety on the hand of her husband who is still wrapped around her stomach.

“The lift can be while gini aja not? I'm comfortable with it.”

“Where can he be, Bang! Udah ah come, later it will not be again like yesterday.” Cleona forcibly takes off her husband's embrace, and steps towards the edge of the bed to pick up a sling bag, a cell phone, as well as a car key and not to forget Rapa's most important wallet, since Cleona didn't want to be kind enough to pay for her groceries later, that definitely wouldn't cost her a little money.

Rapa approached the wife, and wrapped one hand around her waist, then walked out of the room together. Since today the house is so quiet because only the two of them live so, Rapa had to take pains first to check all the doors and windows, making sure that everything was locked. After that, he got into the car following his wife who was sitting comfortably with a chocolate pastry jar on her lap.

“The stomach has exceeded the size of a basketball, still just snacking.” Cibir Rapa was so slow. However, Cleona could still hear, and before Rapa could start her car, a fist floated in the man's left hand, strong enough that Rapa complained and rubbed her aching hand.

“Your kids need food, Bang. If I don't snack, brother wants his son to starve in there?!” Rapa quickly shook her head. “Everything don't protest! I think this is also the act of brother, there is nothing I complain about losing my slim body.”

“Iya-iya, brother sorry yes wife. You can eat anything as much as you, the important thing is that our baby is healthy in there, and his brother's wife is healthy. So, now we're leaving, huh? Don't pout. Brother still love even though you are not as sideways as first.” Rapa smiled sincerely, then gave a kiss on the forehead, the cheeks and lips of the wife did not forget to kiss her baby who was still in the stomach, after that Rapa drove her car away from the yard of the house.

“Bang, eat first yes, Queen hungry.” Pinta Cleona as soon as they enter the lobby of the mall.

Rapa shook her head slowly, not understanding with pregnant women who always seem to ask for food, but just spent a jar of cookies during the trip. Okay the stomach is big, there are two creatures also living there, but no satiety for a moment?

“OK, Queen want to eat where?” keeping up is safer than making his wife frown and ending up sleeping on the couch later that night.

“Take the way we just nyari,” he said who answered a nod by Rapa.

Along the way down the mall, Cleona dizzy looking for a place to eat, but already five cafes they passed, and Cleona still shook her head as Rapa invited to enter. Rapa did not understand what the mother wanted, who he said was hungry.

“Queen want to eat hokben aja, Bang.”

“Hokben was already too late darling, you said earlier did not want to eat there,” tried gently Rapa said not to hurt his wife even though she really wanted to scream because she was upset. Muters have so far only spent time, and in the end the food that is behind there is the verdict of the beautiful pregnant woman.

Repeatedly Rapa rubbed her chest while saying a word of patience, turned her body and maintained her smile even though the desire to curse was there, but as much as possible Rapa could bear, and kept it, because it is aware that the one facing him is the wife who is pregnant with her baby.

“Wife does not cape if we return to Hokben? Don't want a cafe near me?” asked Rapa who was worried about his wife who was carrying that big belly everywhere.

Headband, Cleona gave it. “Queen is still strong. Brother do not have to worry, later if you are tired, Queen would ask brother gendong.”

Hearing that last word, Rapa reflexively gulped her hard-earned saliva, imagining how heavy the wife was right now, because two months ago, she had been, the last time Rapa held his wife who fell asleep on the sofa as a result of waiting for him to come home from work, the weight had made Rapa gout. So, can you imagine now how heavy his wife would be? Can Rapa take him?

“Oh Lord, may my wife have extra strength today.” Rapa's prayer in the heart.

As soon as she reached the desired place to eat, and sat down comfortably Cleona mentioned her order as the waiter approached. Rapa could only swallow her saliva back, before mentioning her one order.

“Abang sure just order melon juice doang?” Cleona asked with a frown, slightly in disbelief.

“Iya brother was enough, still full.”

“Times anyway, usually you eat a lot,”

“Maybe the appetite brother moved to you,” Rapa said with a gentle smile, so as not to offend his wife.

“Yes, I think. Queen has been eating lately. Sorry yes, Bang,” Cleona looked down at her distended stomach.

“Nothing dear, after all there will be twins in your stomach, so it's only natural to eat you a lot. Our children need intake, but do not eat junk food continue yes, not good.” Rapa said gently warning Cleona nodded and widened her smile.

Before long the food that Cleona ordered came and arranged one by one on the table that was not how big it was. Cleona's eyes sparkled hungry as soon as the good meal filled the table, and without waiting for long Cleona instantly wiped it.

“Pelan-pelan aja eat it, later you choke,” peremat Rapa while wiping the corner of his wife's lips contained sauce.

“Abis how dong, our son in there scrambling, I so can not slow down.” Rapa laughed at his wife's alibi. Always the child in the womb is made an excuse.
