You're My Antidote
Incredibly

The king really came home with a heap of hard work. Ever since he found out his wife was pregnant, the King always wanted to go home on time. Allowing his wife to continue working alone had made the King worried. What else if he had to take his wife to work overtime. Not to mention later his family's nagging that will not be endless for him to hear. Because what makes it frustrating is Rani who does not want to go home if she is still in the office.

His son was the first great-grandson of the Rasya Jovan Shandika family. First grandchild to Om Rafi and Aunt Selina. Also the first nephew to Maira, Maina and Star. So his extended family welcomed the news of Rani's pregnancy.

Even when the King reported the happy news in the family group chat, they were all excited. Some guess the gender of the baby. Some guess who will look more like. And with good heart Maira, Maina and Bintang volunteered for the King to meet the cravings of the wife who is said to be often strange in general.

Luckily, he had a harmonious family. Until Rani who grew up without a family, can now feel the warmth of the family.

"We're having dinner at papa's mom's, baby?" the king said when they were in the elevator. The King's gaze was still focused on the phone in his hand. The phone that had been noisy was filled with chat in the family group.

"Not coming home?"

The king pulled the corner of his lips when his wife was no longer using formal language. He frees Rani to be comfortable. There is no need to follow a style of speech that is difficult to change. And his wife is the most inconsistent person. Sometimes formal is not.

Not answering Rani's question, Raja showed her phone screen containing a message in the family group that was responding to a joint meal invitation from her mother. A small party welcomes the happy news of Rani's pregnancy, also to discuss her mother's birthday which will be held in luxury next month.

The king had not yet added Rani to the group. So does his other family who may also forget just like him. Until Rani only knows the latest news about the King's family from the mouth of the King himself.

"You don't mind, do you, baby?" asked the King when Rani was silent and only complained about the end of her heels. "And why are you still wearing heels?" the King's voice slightly raised so knowing the carelessness of the wife even though he knew the type of shoes were not good for pregnant women.

Rani, who had looked down at the end of her shoes, was now looking at the King with teary eyes. "Are you angry?" his wife's voice shook.

The king took a deep breath and tried to smile. "Sorry baby.. I'm just surprised to see you're still using heels. We will buy flat shoes, right? looks like you only have a few flat shoes."

Rani is seen blinking her eyes to prevent the clear liquid in her eyes to drip. The king forgot that pregnant women can be that sensitive. And all those weird pregnancy symptoms just happened today.

"Mas is high." Rani's lips cut hard. "If I wear flat shoes later in the guess adek again." The king smiled anxiously as his wife pursed her lips.

"Who cares. The important thing is that you and our children are safe." said the King lightly.

"Rani cares!" press Rani makes the King wink in confusion. "A lot is lost in our relationship. Either family or economic. So at least in terms of appearance, Rani does not want to go too far."

The king chuckled and touched his wife's forehead. "You're beautiful, baby." Will the King tried to raise his wife's confidence. "You are beautiful from the heart. Whether you're tall or short, you're still the most beautiful."

"So that means just the pretty heart of Rani? paras Rani isn't?!"

"It's not so dear.."_____"You forgot mama used to say that we were a matching couple."

Rani thaws and smiles shyly.

"For now, the most important thing is that you are comfortable and safe. Don't think too much about what other people's looks like that don't matter."

Rani nodded in agreement and embraced her husband's arm. Step together when the elevator doors open in the lobby. Where in the drop off area, the King's car is waiting.

"But the sweet sour gurameaaa?" rani's face looks insincere. "Rani had imagined eating it from noon."

"Let's keep cooking."

"Serious mas?" those dimming eyes are back sparkling. Makes the King couldn't bear to not kiss his wife's lips at a glance.

***

When Rani was spoiled by parents in the family room. The king is being mobbed by girls in the kitchen.

Maira, Maina and Bintang stood dumbfounded in the kitchen. Looked at their only brother there.

Getting into the kitchen is taboo. And even more horror, their brother was wearing an apron and cut a big fish gurame. Looks focused just like the King when working.

"Sir King sure he can cook?"

The king looked at his smallest sister-Star-with a sharp gaze.

"I mean stars.. King's brother sure you don't want the Bintang to help?" The smiling star was afraid to see her brother who rarely spoke but was always very kind to them. Offering his skills as a chef. Doubtful about the King's cooking ability and worried that his brother's cooking will harm Rani and her content.

Because of what Bintang and his entire family know, Rani is craving King's cooking. Without knowing if their family members can indeed cook.

"Better you guys go than bother." ketus Raja. Expelled the three girls from the reach of his eyes. "The company of your brother-in-law. And ask him what he wants." he added by staying focused on the fish in his hand that he was seasoning.

"Brother king, how cool is he?" Maina leaned over her body and propped up her chin at the end of the counter where the King cooked. Staring at her brother with a look of admiration.

"It turns out this way that polar humans are bucin." Maira chimed in. The girl held her hands together at the counter. No less amazed. Didn't expect her apathetic brother to treat a woman well.

They've heard of the King's sweeter changes. But they do not believe because they do not see with their own eyes. And now....

The three girls shook their heads compactly. The king and his cooking activities are a rare and amazing sight. More than enough to prove how much the King loved his wife. For those who know what a king is like.

It felt like the three girls wanted to hug the King tightly and congratulate him. Congratulations on finding his life spirit. Find someone who makes the King's life more meaningful. Have more goals and priorities.

It felt like Maira, Maina and Bintang were happy to see their sister happy.
