You're My Antidote
Resigning

The king came out of the dressing room. Wearing clothes that Rani had prepared a while ago when her husband took a bath. They stayed at Shandika's residence. But the king told his parents that they would not stay there for the rest of the day.

The king reasoned to want to spoil Rani during the pregnancy period in their home. So that they have many memories in the house and can freely make out without hesitation.

Really, Rani was very embarrassed when the King said that at the dinner table earlier. And Rani just knew the real reason that is not much different from what the King revealed to his parents.

The king is worried that Rani is not free to say what she wants during pregnancy. The king was worried that Rani was still feeling uneasy in Shandika's mansion and preferred to harbour her wishes. The king is worried that myths about children who will be upset if their cravings are not met can happen to their children. And most importantly, the King was worried about not being able to pamper his wife to the fullest during the pregnancy period.

"I helped dry it, mas." Rani will already be moving from sitting comfortably on the bed with a book on her lap. A book about pregnancy that she got from her mother-in-law. But the King gave him a code to stay still in place.

Instead, the King approaches and sits on the floor and gives Rani a small towel to replace the hair dry.

"Tomorrow to go to the office. There are a lot of jobs that you stay for two weeks. But I don't want you to come." The king looked up at him. "You can, from tomorrow on a letter of resignation?"

There was sadness when her husband asked for that one thing. To achieve his position as King's secretary was not easy.

Studying desperately during school. Trying to get first place in order to get a scholarship when studying.

If the King can only sleep a few hours because he woke up in the middle of the night and can not sleep again. Rani can only sleep a few hours because she works part-time until 9 pm and still has to study or do many college tasks. Even though he arrived at the parlor he was very tired and just missed lying on the bed and welcoming dreams. Unfortunately, his dream cannot be achieved by sleeping. If he wants to achieve all his dreams, he must study hard and reduce his sleep.

Rani often falls asleep at the study table. Not infrequently also he had to clog his nose that several times nosebleeds.

And when he knew the King needed a secretary when Rani graduated from college and had not yet received a job call even though she had sent dozens of applications, Rani tried her luck to send a proposal. Apply without using the connections he has. Although he could have asked Lintang's mother to try the position for him. But Rani didn't do it. All purely with his own efforts and hard work.

Rani takes interviews and tests just like the others. It's not easy being a secretary to a director. And Rani can get the highest points out of all the applicants.

After work, it is not immediately easier for Rani. He must endure the cold attitude of the King. Must be ready to work overtime and do not know the time because the King is quite crazy work. Not infrequently also he got a job that makes no sense in the beginning he worked. Everything Rani's been through.

Now the king asked him to stop. To submit a letter of resignation. It feels heavy for Rani to do. What else there are still the children of the orphanage that he fought for. Since he started working, he has been determined that his life is not for himself. But also for his orphanage sisters.

"Why?" The king went up and sat down beside him.

"If Rani stays at work, how about you?"

The long breath of the King. Perhaps her husband had already thought that he would refuse the King's request this time. Because the King only sighed without a look of surprise. "You're pregnant, baby." just gently remind him.

"But Rani is healthy, mas." said Rani insisted. "Rani has not felt the symptoms of dizziness, nausea vomiting and so on. There's nothing to worry about."

The king stared at him intensely. Considering what he said. "If something happens to you and our child. I will feel more guilty." said the King in a weakened voice.

"Rani promises to take good care of Rani, mas. Will take good care of our child too."

Rani laughed and hugged her husband. "That's because I haven't eaten much work either. Masa mas aja boss, who may not be short of money still work with totality. Masa Rani wants to be lazy. Shame dong mas."

Rani used to think that way. If the king could leave in the morning, he tried not to be late.

Even with work. If the King can finish the job before lunch or go home. Rani always tries to keep up.

They are silent with the position of Rani who still hugs her husband. I don't know what her husband was thinking until it was quiet like that.

"This time can't do anything like that anymore. You should order food before lunch. Bring snacks from home too. Fruit, biscuits, milk or whatever it is."

Instantly Rani keeps her head away from her husband's chest. Shocked to hear the King's answer that is not as difficult as he imagined.

Though Rani had imagined some tricks to seduce the King to allow him to keep working. But it turns out he doesn't need to do that. The king has completely softened. No longer always showing her fangs.

"What does this mean, I allow it?"

King nodded. "Unconditionally, if you feel uncomfortable with your body, say it immediately. And this permit is only valid until 7 months of gestational age."

Rani nodded in spirit. She will be taking leave to get pregnant and give birth. After giving birth later, she could talk about it again with the King. Most importantly now the King still allowed him to work. Not just to break his dreams. And that's enough for now.

"So I called Doctor Fani."

Rani just stared at her husband waiting for what he would say.

"Doctor Fani said, we can still relate as long as we are careful not to hurt the little one."

Rani's face immediately felt hot when she knew the meaning of the King's words. It should be put where his face is when he meets Doctor Fani later. Why should the King ask such a thing to Doctor Fani. Rani covered her face with both hands. He's really embarrassed.

"So can?" chase the King trying to take his hand off. "We did it last time in the Maldives dear." persuaded the King a little complain.

Rani just nodded. What can she do other than leave her to her husband. And to be honest, she also missed her husband's warm touch.
