So In Love
EP. 103. Cravings

********

The sky parked his car in the yard of a spacious house that looks beautiful because of the typical trees of the yard that grows there. Blue and Orange House.

This is not the first time they came to the new house, the two quite often visited to spend time together after Blue and Orange moved there.

The location of the Blue house is still a complex with a Sky-owned house that is still in the process of renovation, as well as the Dusk house. It seems like their parents deliberately placed their children's homes close together to make it easier to visit. Not only that, with the location of the house in one complex will bring closer the rope of their brotherhood.

Shien was a little regretful because his desire to go on a motorbike had to be void due to the overcast weather. In fact, he really wants to ride a motorcycle. It reminded him of the times they dated first. Romantic and can be affectionate indirectly. Duhh, just by imagining it Shien was already in flowers.

“Come!” The sky that knew already opened the door for him.

“Hampers?” Shien asked reminiscent of the gift for the second child Blue and Orange stored in the trunk of the car.

“Udah I took.” The sky held a large-sized goodie bag containing baby hampers. Shien smiled faintly, then got out of the car and walked hand in hand with the Sky to get into the modern tropical concept house.

“Lho, Mother?” Shien was a little surprised and happy at once when he saw Mother standing before them. The middle-aged woman opened the door.

“Iya Mommy here temenin Orange for a while. There's a Dad also inside.”

Still in the doorway, Shien and Mommy then hug each other and exchange news. The most frenzied mother had not seen Shien for long enough after she no longer came to her house to learn to cook.

“Ya let's go in, Blue is the same Orange has been waiting for you from earlier. He said he'd come in the morning, but it's really noon.” Invite Mother to embrace Shien's arm to bring him into the house. While the Sky snorted a little because Mother seemed to think she did not exist.

“So it's raining, Bun.” Shien answered with a reason. It is true they wait for the rain to subside, but while doing something exciting to forget the time.

Mommy just nods no problem. Today's weather is very cloudy even though the rain has subsided since a few hours ago.

“Ohh yes, Bun. Whose winter is it?” Ask the Sky as soon as they climb the stairs to the Blue and Orange room on the second floor. Considering Winter was very young, the boy had even just learned to walk and already had a younger brother. Blue and Orange will certainly be very hassles in the beginning.

“Together his other grandparents. Blue is the same Orange still has to adapt, so Winter is signed first.” Clearly Mother.

“Later if you have children, the distance is not too close like them. Repot yourself later.” Said Mother. The woman breathed heavily, between tired of climbing the stairs and thinking about the fate of the child and his daughter-in-law who would have little trouble taking care of their young child, plus the busyness of those who both work as doctors.

“And I intend to produce one year, Bun.” The original Sky Chirps made Shien elbow his stomach and cast an annoyed look.

“Production-production, you think factory?” Mother's lips, while the sky only grinned wide.

Mother said goodbye to them to prepare lunch after opening the door to the Blue and Orange rooms.

There, Blue and Orange smiled warmly welcoming the arrival of Sky and Shien. The young old man seemed to have just put their child to bed. The tiny baby boy, named Rayi, was seen in his cot.

“Congratulations yes, Ji.” Shien said sincerely while hugging each other and linking his cheeks with Orange.

“Oke, thanks. You sneak followed dong let Winter with Ray there is a friend.” Said Orange after breaking his embrace. Shien who heard that just smiled. Feeling sad for himself because it is still plagued by great excitement to be ready to have children.

“By the way, you still plan to have seven children?” Asked Sky to divert the conversation, he knew very well Shien was quite bothered by it.

The man since his arrival immediately rushed to the baby bed. His hands did not stand still continue to swallow the cheeks of baby Ray with anxiety.

Blue sighed softly. The man pulled up a mini folding sofa and sat down next to the Sky. He looked at his son's sleeping face. “Nijah I. I think this is the last one. If it's seven, can-can snot all my children because not taken care of.” Blue just realized, it turns out that having a child is not as easy as making it. Children need to be taken care of and need extra attention in every growth and development, and parents of course have to take responsibility for their lives because they have brought it to this world. Instead of not wanting to have many children, Blue is afraid if she is not able to take responsibility for their lives. It is not the material that is the problem, but the time to care for and educate their children. Blue and Orange are equally afraid if they cannot be responsible for it.

“But if God still wants to give us trust is okay. Yeah, right, babe?” Connect Blue while glancing at Orange who was sitting on the edge of the bed with Shien, was admiring the contents of the hampers given by Sky and Shien. The girl who was no longer the girl smiled. However, the child is a gift that God gives to every parent.

“Eh, I can carry Ray, no?” Ask the sky whose hands have been itching ever since wanted to bring the tiny baby into his lap.

“Ya carried aja time, Lang. But watch out for the cry, the long nap later. Very different with Winter he.” The orange is a little complaining.

“Each child must be different in nature, Ji.” The sky began to lift the tiny baby's body carefully.

Shien who was sitting not far from the crib noticed the Sky. The man was very adept at holding a baby like that. He smiled thinly. Suddenly Shien imagined the Sky carrying his own child. Ahh, suddenly his heart was pounding like he was in love just by imagining it.

“Try the hold.”

“Eh?” Shien slightly flinched as he knew the Sky was already sitting next to him alone. He blinked, staring at the confused baby Heaven thrust at him.

“Booking, Shi.” Said Sky once more while trying to point the baby at Shien, but Shien instead inched back.

“No, ihh. What the fuck, anyway? I can't.” Shien said with complete rejection.

“Try first, itung-itung learn. Let's raise your hand.” Pinta Langit, but Shien instead fell silent scowling.

“Fear of falling ihh, Lang.” Complain Shien.

“Try aja, Shi. The sky help. Who knows if abis gendong Ray you so kepengin have a baby too.” Orange News learned that Shien was delaying her pregnancy. In fact, Orange really knows the sky really wants a child.

Shien paused for a moment while staring worriedly at the baby who was sleeping quietly on his lap.

“Ayo. . .” Persuade the Sky again.

Shien snorted small. Then with a doubtful and trembling motion he raised his hand. Obviously because this is his first time holding a baby. Baby, not a doll or a rabbit. Of course Shien was scared so he felt cold sweat begin to drench his temples.

The sky smiled happily. Slightly improving Shien's hand position, he then handed the baby to the wife. “Not hard, is it, Shi?”

Shien simply fell silent with his body stiffened. Then he noticed the tiny baby in his lap. His reddish lips, sharp nose, as well as his innocent face, made the hearts of everyone who looked at him calm. Including Shien himself. There is a feeling of pleasure and haru at once when looking at Ray in his arms.

“Udah looks really good, Shi, baby carrier like that.” This time Blue raised his voice. But Shien only responded with a stiff smile.

“I'll leave Ray with you guys for a second, okay? I'm the same brother Blue wants a video call Winter first. Very happy with him.” Orange Speech. The sky nodded with no objection. He is actually happy. He always liked children.

A moment later, Blue and Orange moved to the Blue workspace right next to their room to make a video call with their eldest daughter.

“Funny no, Shi?” Ask Sky while sniffing the fat head of Ray who smells typical baby fragrance, occasionally kiss him.

“Ihh. . .” And all Sky could do was pinch Shien's squeezed cheeks which now looked more contained after Sky noticed. Instantly he confirmed what Nathan said that his wife was a little fat. Ahh, no. That fat word was a little scary. More precisely, Shien's body was a little more contained. But Sky is happy, that means Shien's appetite is very good. The sky did not care about Shien's shape or size. Because the most important thing for her was for Shien to stay healthy. The sky would still love Shien wholeheartedly even if the girl's body was filled with fat even once.

“Emang really, right? Where is the part of you that looks funny?” Said Shien slightly to make her husband snort miserably. He then looked back at the tiny baby, occasionally he rubbed his head gently. There was a strange feeling running through his heart, a feeling of wanting to protect. Shien guessed it might be a woman's instinct.

“I want to have a rich gini, Shi.” Sky said as he leaned his chin on Shien's shoulder, while one of his hands continued stroking Ray's cheeks that were smooth as snow. “No problems like Winter or Ray.” Reciprocity.

Shien let out a long sigh, then exhaled. He realized that he was so selfish because he only thought of himself who could not fight his fears. The sky had been hoping for him. Not only the sky, but also his parents. It was not uncommon for them to ask him if there were signs already or not, and Shien could only shake his head without being able to explain the true circumstances.

“Wait a minute, yes.” Shien said as he buried a kiss right on the forehead of the Sky. While the man just sighed softly while nodding weakly. In any case, he should not be too pressing for Shien. “I must have taken off the contraception pill. But wait a minute.” Shien assured.

The sky raised its head that was originally leaning on Shien's shoulders. He then looked worriedly at his wife. I doubt if he should say it or not.

“Shi. . .” Call the Sky in doubt.

“Hum?” Shien without taking his eyes off baby Ray.

“It, about the contraceptive pill. . .”

“Ray still sleeping? Lho Blue equals Mana.”

The sentence of Heaven hung just like that when Mother suddenly entered the room. The sky and Shien then turned to look at Mother who was now moving closer and closer towards them.

“Still asleep, Bun. Blue equal Orange in the workspace, again video call Winter he said.” Sky destroys.

Mother rounded her mouth with her head nodding, then sat down beside Shien and asked to hand Ray to her. “Mother is ready for lunch below. You guys eat first, gih. All call Blue and Orange to eat together. Mumpung Ray again sleeping.”

“But before we got here we ate, Bun. I call Blue to Orange to make them eat, huh?” Said the Sky that felt his stomach was still full, and he was sure Shien felt the same way as well. Seen from the way he nodded in agreement when he said that to Mother.

“Ya eat again. Mommy has cooked your favorite food during untried.” Said Mother a little disappointed. “Mother doesn't want to know. You guys should eat first before you go home.” Mother firmly does not want to be denied.

In the end, inevitably Sky and Shien had to have lunch there. At least eat it a little to appreciate Mother who has prepared food for them with a sincere heart.

“Surely we go to Dufan today?” Shien asked, looking doubtfully at the husband who was focusing on driving next to him.

The plan is like that. After a visit to the Blue and Orange house, Sky wanted to take Shien to Dufan to replace his mistakes in the past that had messed up Shien's first experience there.

“Yakin, Iaaang.” Sky answered while stroking Shien's hair with his free hand.

“But your stomach?” Shien asked worriedly. The reason, just a moment ago when they came to the dining room in the Blue house for lunch, was, The sky again experienced severe nausea and vomiting when seeing almost all the food presented on the table is processed meat and fish. The sky again spewed out all of his entrails, including what he ate at breakfast at home.

Blue gave him a nausea reliever, but Heaven ate nothing after that. The sky was only snacking on candy to relieve the bitter taste in his mouth from vomiting.

“Udah better, really. You don't have to worry, I've taken the medicine given by Blue.” The sky calmed down while gently rubbing Shien's cheeks.

“Yes, but we stopped by the restaurant first. Your stomach is empty. We can pesen fruit or vegetable salad if you can not eat meat with fish.” Shien said as he opened his phone to find the location of the nearest restaurant.

“Gak, man. We'll buy that, Shi. Seger is great.” The sky pointed to the traveling food peddlers as they passed through the city park.

“Rujak?” Shien asked ascertaining, his forehead folded in. The truth is to eat rujak, the stomach of Sky is still empty plus the weather of Bandung that there is no heat. At least buy batagor or seblak because the air is quite cold.. Ck, there's-there's just.

“Yep.” The sky nodded confidently without distracting him from the rearview mirror, he was getting ready to pull over right in front of the street vendor wagon he wanted.

Not until ten minutes, just by bending his head from the glass of the car, Sky's order was ready and he returned to drive his car after he had previously handed Shien plastic and asked to bribe him.

“Lang, which you really ate. All acids you know?” Shien's mouth feels pained itself as soon as it opens the package of rujak. Of the two servings of rujak that Sky bought, one contained pieces of young mango, and the other was a piece of pineapple. Shien instantly goosebumps even just by imagining to eat it.

“I want a seger-seger. I've been bribing aja cepetan.” Sky did not want to hear Shien protest anymore.

Slightly shuddering in pain, Shien then began to stab the piece of fruit and feed his colloquial husband. A bit of worry was still lingering in his heart, remembering the empty stomach of Heaven but instead eating acidic food like this.

“You're like a pregnant woman again cravings to know no, anyway, Lang?” Shien's Comments.

“It looks like yes. You who are pregnant, keep me who cravings.” Sahut Langit origin.

“Ish, where am I pregnant from?” Shien suddenly landed a soft pinch in the muscular belly of Heaven.

The sky snorted in annoyance. “Yes from me, Shi. I am your husband. It's not strange if you're pregnant. If you don't have a pregnant husband, the new strange name.”

“Yes, I mean. . , I'm still taking the contraceptive pill, Lang. So it's impossible to be.” Bright Shien reminded.

“But the contraceptive pill. . .”

The Sky Sentence instantly came to a halt as the ringing of the incoming message sign sounded from Shien's phone.

“Who?” Ask Sky curiously.

“Kak Dusk.” Shien replied as he brandished his phone.

“Kak Dusk sama kak Bintang is now at home. Where are we again. They want to ngajakin barbequean.” Shien explained the message his sister-in-law sent.

“Tell me tomorrow you don't have to wait for us. You see, we will definitely go home malem.”

“OK ready, Boss.”
