You're My Antidote
King's Worry

Rani finds the King more silent after being in the room. The king is not a talkative man. But at least if they were the middle of the two, the King was not that quiet. The King's silence seemed to think of many things.

The King's hand was relentlessly stroking his queen's belly when they were lying down and the King allowed his left arm to cushion his wife.

"Mas why?" Previously Rani did not want to interfere with what her husband was thinking. Because he was sure, whatever it was must have been the matter of the gift earlier.

Long time the King was silent did not answer, until what became the burden of his mind was conveyed to Rani. "I hope, our daughter."

"Anything, mas." said Rani. "Whatever gender is important is healthy and born safe."

"Yes." King's tone of voice was still flat. "But I really hope she's a girl."

"Why? be as beautiful as Rani?"

The king chuckled and hugged him tightly. "Yes. Let there be a dupe of a chatty woman in our house."

Rani thunches. Didn't say anything and went deeper into the husband's arms.

"I just don't want our kids to take the reins of leadership in the next generation."

The king then recounted when the King was called to Pak Rasya's work room. It turned out that the King was asked to fill the vacancy of the vice-presidential director's seat. And sooner or later, the King will be the tip of the group Shand horns when Om Rafi retires later. As Mr. Rasya always emphasized since the King was small.

"Mas as the only boy is conscious. One day, inevitably, we will have to replace Om Rafi. But I never expected it to be this fast moving closer."

The king also complained about his very little time at home. Enjoy time with Rani.

"Now, it's hard to devote your full attention during pregnancy. And I don't want to lose many precious moments when our child is born. Because when I officially become the vice chairman later, the time we have will definitely be very little."

Rani sighed. It turned out that it made her husband look a lot silent and reluctant when his father-in-law talked about the gift for their future baby. Even the King did not comment much on Mr. Rasya's birthday plans that will be honored with a festive title. Celebrating the age of her 77-year-old father-in-law.

"When was the inauguration of the office, sir?"

"Papa will hold a board meeting in the near future. And at papa's birthday, papa will announce it officially in front of the media."

"And you refuse?" guess Rani.

"Mas did not refuse. Mas only asked for an extension of time until our son was one year old."____" At least mas can be sure to accompany you when giving birth later. Nor will mas miss every first moment of our child. Especially when he calls me papa."

The look in the eyes of the King looks very adoring on the stomach of Rani who is still not seen if she is pregnant. Maybe if asked who is most enthusiastic about Rani's pregnancy, then the King is the winner.

In the morning the Shandika family dining table looks crowded. Still in complete formation like last night.

Rani has started gossiping with her cousins-in-law. While the husband occasionally chimed in chats about work with Mr. Rasya and Om Rafi who early in the morning had been busy with work on his iPad. Making wife Om Rafi several times scolded the husband who did not focus on eating because he was busy.

Arriving at the office, Rani was greeted with an envious smile from Dini. "Seneng really have a husband like Mr. King" said Dini who showed off a new chair to replace Rani's previous work chair.

"Later, there will be people who unite you." said Rani. "When you find the right person."

Ranu walks into the pantry to make her husband a cup of coffee and brings some biscuits on the plate. Not to forget Rani brought an ipad to report the King's activities that day.

"Ten hours later, I have a meeting with the production house with Pak Agam to discuss a new soap opera that will replace Luka Cinta." secretary Agam as director of Ss.Tv has been contacting Rani since this morning. Remind him of the meeting schedule this time because that must be done immediately. Sinetron Luka Cinta whose retings began to decline since the main cast had a scandal with an official had to be replaced immediately with a new soap opera so that they did not lose their audience.

"Where's the meeting?" ask the King to be professional. Although his gaze remained gentle to his beloved wife.

"In Mr. Agam's office. Because you have an invitation to Lunch with Mr. Menkom."

"alone?"

"With Mr. Rafi, sir."

The king took a long breath. "Two days to work, we still can't have lunch together."

Rani smiles and draws closer to her husband, who is now back in the role of her husband. Lean on the husband's desk and rub the King's cheek. "But we still have breakfast and dinner together, mas."

"Want lunch today?" asked the King who had wrapped his arms around his wife's waist.

"Whatever the other one is, mas. Rani's come with me."

"Eat whatever you and our child want" said the King in a commanding tone.

Rani nods and gives a kiss on her husband's cheek before leaving the room to return to work. And when lunchtime came, his desk was crowded with frenzied children asking where he wanted to eat. Including Mega and Adnan who did not eat together yesterday.

"Where do you want to eat?" ask Lura at exactly 12 p.m.

"Yes. Where'd Rani eat?" Dini chimed in before the others joined in.

"What the hell are you?" Shindy. Think Rani. Though usually they are most anti out on time because it must be queued in the elevator or in the cafeteria.

"Bos has given us a warning for your mastiin lunch on time and follow all your requests. So where do you want lunch?"

"Bos already love credit card for us to accompany brother Rani lunch." timpal Dini. "What do the babys want to eat, brother?"

Rani knitted her brows as Lura and Dini's voices chimed in on each other. When did the king tell them? even though as long as there is Rani, only she can go in and out of the room of her husband.

"The King asked for it?" rani asked confused.

"More precisely threatening to cut our salaries - we if you are late eating and cravings you are not obedient. So let's get out before the boss watches us from the CCTV."

Although confused, Rani still followed their steps to get to the elevator and get off. Because they forced Rani to decide, Rani finally chose a restaurant behind the office that provides Rawon menu.
