You're My Antidote
Dinner

At five o'clock in the afternoon when Rani was enjoying her afternoon snack with Maina who was busy scrolling social media-motor sport wheels were heard entering the gate of the house. Rani who memorized the motor sound of her husband immediately moved.

"Duh memorized the sound of the husband's motor." ledek Maina who only Rani reply to the ruckus without reducing the speed of her steps towards the living room.

Rarely separated from her husband, making Rani feel enthusiastic at every step. Coinciding with his step into the living room, the door of the house opened along with the greeting that the King said.

"Waalaikumsalam." said Rani returned to her husband's smile that expands.

The king gave him a code to wait in place. Instead the King stepped wide and fast. Catch it warm.

"It's very fragrant." Praise the King.

Taking her face away, Rani asked. "Dear it equally?" looking at the King who immediately nodded. "So go to the spa. Maina is bored at home. It turns out Rani really needs to go to spa once in a while. Rani's body feels really good coming home from the spa."

"Sorry huh? rarely take you to such a place."

Rani shook her head. "They're men. How to understand such a thing. Indeed, occasionally Rani had to play with Maina, Maira or Bintang. Gathering fellow women turned out to be necessary."

The king nodded and embraced him after taking Adit who had been standing behind the King and his presence did not know when his husband's best friend came in. Either when the King hugged him or indeed from the beginning entered with the King.

"Let's ask them to come here with you often."

"What do you drink, brother? tea, coffee?" bargain Rani with Adit as soon as they reach the living room where Maina is still focusing on the flat object in her hand.

"Black coffee. Without stirring. Without sugar. You see, I'm sweet." replied Adit who immediately threw his body right next to Maina who immediately sneered at the man's words.

"What's so sweet? there's a sepa!"

No offense, Adit just chuckled and more tempting Maina by pinching the cheek of the King's cousin.

"Don! why the hell, brother King bring a model like this!"

Several times seeing Maina and Adit interacting at several meetings, Rani has indeed seen if they look familiar. Perhaps the friendship of King and Adit also brought good relations to the two families.

Rani shook her head and left those who were still arguing. Unaware the King followed him into the kitchen until the man's warm hands coiled around his stomach from behind.

"Lho. What's it like here?"

"Kangen." muttered the King who drowned his face in the niche of Rani's neck which was certainly covered with hijab.

Rani just rubbed the King's hair and let alone their position. Her hands were busy making drinks for her husband and the guests.

"Camomile mas?" tawal Rani's. Usually the king if you are tired or after therapy does choose camomile tea compared to other drinks.

"You know best, baby."

Accompanying Rani to boil water, King recounted the development of therapy that her husband underwent today. Which he said was better than in the previous meeting. It means that there is another development in the husband. And Rani was relieved to hear it.

Healing a trauma is not easy and takes a lot of time. Likewise with the King who several times had fainted or cowered in fear when the therapist tried to put the King in a dark and silent room to know how severe the King's trauma. Or when the King was taken to visit the hospital and see the accident patient.

Those difficult times have been able to pass the King even though it has not completely removed the trauma. But at least for the past six months, there have been many developments that the King has managed to obtain. And hopefully there will be progress in every session with the therapist.

"Om and aunt are not home. Maira was also having dinner with her future father-in-law. Than you have dinner alone at home. Mending you come with us."

Adit arrived this afternoon to convey the invitation of his mother who again invited them to dinner in lieu of a dinner that had been canceled.

Even the marriage of King and Rani had already passed a year. But Mother Adit is the one who keeps the promise and abstains from denying it. Be now the King, Rani and Maina - who are forced to join in the journey to the Adit residence. The man who invited them came home first.

"Damn! maki Maina who was not long relationship ended exactly one week before the engagement day. It can be said that Maina is still in healing time.

"Once again you speak harshly. I'm throwing it at your mama!"

Maina looked back with glaring eyes. "If the King dares to. I will not come again if you ask for help." threatening Maina back.

The king clucked indifferently and chose to hug Rani's waist and anchored the kiss on the tip of the head. Maina clucked even harder to see her cousin's sister showing off her affection in front of a newly broken hearted person.

Adit-yang carried Citra-and his parents had already welcomed their arrival. The image in Adit's sling moved impatiently as he saw Rani get off the car.

"Big brother!" exclaim Citra the more the Rani group approached.

"Any brother Adit, brother?" mrs Maina whispers to the King.

"His sister." replied the King whispering.

Maina rounded her eyes and closed her gaping mouth before returning to condition her shocked expression as she thought of the image of Adit's younger sibling.

They took turns greeting and shaking hands with Adit's parents. While Citra has been attached and holding Rani's hand to enter the other one followed. They laughed at how enthusiastic Citra was with the arrival of Rani.

"Finally so also we have dinner together "sigh mother Adit once they get to the dining table. Because dinner time has arrived, so they immediately have dinner. Problems chatting can be further afterwards.

"Sorry, we just had a visit." said the King.

"We know you're a busy man, son." Adit's mother stared in the shade at the King.

Adit and Raja's father talked about business. Adit is still a fad of teasing Maina who is only able to remain silent because she does not dare to retaliate in Adit's territory.

While Mother Adit like mothers in general, asking how it feels to be pregnant, what cravings, how the development and when the estimated birth.

"Well, it's close to dong."

"Yes, bun. If it's in line with predictions, it might be born late next month."

"Healthy to Rani. Don'tbeafraid. Giving birth is not easy. Whatever the process. What makes us feel easy or not is just our mental readiness. So you have to be ready. Bayangin all for the child in your womb. Then it doesn't look terrible anymore."

Rani has heard a lot of advice from Adit's mother. Not much different from the advice that Rani got from Mother Lintang or the other King's family. Even though she had no real mother, at least many people loved her and replaced what she should have done for her.
