Only Raised Children
119. Wife Husband Drama

If usually Alina does not like to do activities in shopping, but today she became different from her previous self. Today Alina actually looks very excited to shop for the needs of her child later. Although he did not know what the gender of his first child was, it did not matter to Alina.

Alina and Rico continued to explore all the baby figures in the mall. Whatever she finds interesting, Alina will definitely buy it. Whether it's stuff for boys or girls though. At the moment Alina is almost similar to her shopping-crazed friend Rena. Her friend was very fond of spending money to buy something that was not important just for the sake of the pleasure of her eyes, and today Alina does so. No matter what the price and whether the item will be useful for his son later, but if the item is attractive in his eyes, then Alina will still buy it. 

Rico also saw the activities of his wife was only made head bobble. Just this time he saw the other side of an Alina whom he had never seen before. Rico is currently accompanying other women who are shopping, not his wife who he knows as a woman who does not like to shop. 

"Darling, you're not in a trance anymore, are you?" asked Rico in surprise.

Alina frowned at her husband.

"Corruption? You mean what?" alina asked in surprise.

"Yes, you shopped this much, are you okay? Don't you like shopping all this time?"

Alina was silent for a moment. Seeing so many groceries he had bought since, Alina suddenly became confused herself.

"yes too. It turns out that there are so many that I bought," Alina murmured inwardly.

He only realized that because he was so cool with his own world. 

*Is this all I'm buying?" ask him to Rico innocently.

"Considered you? Did I buy it?"

Alina pressed her shoulders.

"I'm the same as you, you're back to me." 

Rico scratched his suddenly itchy head. Why is he wrong, he thought. 

"Well, then we go home, baby. Your shopping is quite a lot, this is also almost afternoon, later we go home later" said Rico.

Alina glanced at her watch. The current time has shown at 03.00 pm, he did not even realize if he had been in the mall all this time. 

"Honey, I'm really hungry" said Alina as she stroked her stomach.

"We ate first, then just went home. What do you want to eat?" ask Rico. 

Alina was silent for a moment, as if thinking what food would be good for her to eat at this moment. 

"Last noon we had rice, maybe in the afternoon this is good to eat ice cream time yes," said Alina with a smile.

"Darling, you're hungry again, why would you eat ice cream? Ice cream will not make you full, look for heavy foods that are filling, yes" said Rico gave advice.

"But I really want to eat ice cream" said Alina while putting on her cute face, making Rico could not refuse and immediately reminded her.

Alina smiled happily, they immediately made the payment at her last store, after which just went to the ice cream stand inside the mall. After the ice cream was obtained, Rico invited Alina to sit in one of the relaxing places there. They enjoy ice cream there while accompanied by live music that is ongoing. 

"Honey, I'm kangen ya sing in the cafe," Alina told her husband.

He hasn't done that hobby in a long time. Usually every week he will channel his hobby in a cafe where he is looking for extra money. But since she graduated from college, Alina has never done that again, even she had forgotten her hobby because she was so busy with her current activities.

"I won't let you sing in the cafe. Don't mess around, honey," said Rico who gave his wife a warning first. He was very afraid if his wife said it was merely giving him a code to return to the cafe where he used to work.

"Who wants to go back there, too" said Alina evaded.

"Why did you say that?" ask Rico curiously.

"I want to sing there, can't I?" alina asked while pointing at the live music stage that was not far in front of them.

Rico who heard his wife's request scrunched his forehead. Alina wants to sing there? Sure enough, there were so many visitors here, there was no way he would allow his wife to sing in front of the crowd. Moreover, Alina's voice was so melodious to be heard, she would not be willing to share the beauty of one of the best sides of his wife. 

"Cannot. I don't want people to hear your beautiful voice. Later I make a room live music at home, you can sing as much as I can there," said Rico possessive.

"Ih, what the hell are you. I just want to contribute one song. Please, yes. I miss singing live music like in the cafe first, please," said Alina pleading. She even put her ice cream on the table and clenched her palms in front of her chest to plead with her husband. 

"Darling, don't fuck around. Anyway I won't let you sing there, period."

Rico who remained with his stance made Alina flick her lips in annoyance. His face was bent so deeply that it made Rico finally feel unbearable. Alina could actually make him change his mind in a matter of seconds. As at this time, he who could not bear to see his wife sulking then agreed to his request. 

As the live music MC up ahead gave a chance to mall visitors who wanted to contribute their voices, Alina excitedly stood up and waved her hands up. Rico manages his breathing with his wife's behavior. He did not know why lately his wife's behavior was very strange. What was the effect of his wife's pregnancy that made him this way?

**

Alina who saw her husband was jealous was not clear just smiling amusedly. She tried to seduce her husband not to sulk again, but it did not make Rico widen his smile again. Her husband was completely blindly jealous of her unusual behavior. 

"Dear, honey, why are you sulking like this. I was just a moment ago. 

"You're why it's so weird, honey. Since entering the second trimester, you look very different."

"How much?" alina asked in surprise.

"Yes different. You look more confident and more open in public, unlike the first Alina I knew, who was more reserved."

"So you don't like me like this? You don't love me anymore, because I'm not quiet anymore?" alina asked as if to blame.

The situation has changed drastically. Alina turns to sulk at her husband, while Rico seems to feel guilty for his words that make his wife misunderstand. 

Until the night, Alina's annoyance still did not subside either. She still silenced her husband because he looked upset about his words this afternoon. Actually he himself also did not know why it could be like this, suddenly happy and suddenly angry in a short time. 

Just as they were about to rest his body on the bed, Rico again tried to persuade his wife not to be angry with him again. Various ways he had done for Alina to smile back at him, but it was very difficult to persuade his wife who was sulking.

"Darling, please forgive me. I really didn't mean to say that. I'm just surprised by your drastic change in attitude. But just so you know, even if your nature changes 360 degrees, I will still love you anyway. Because my love will never be less than you. Honey, please, trust me yes. I cannot reduce my love for you just because you are not silent anymore. Instead I'm so glad that you can be more expressive like this."

After a long time of silence, Alina finally let out a long sigh. She also did not actually feel at home for a long time to silence her husband, especially at this time she was wanting something that only her husband could obey his will. 

"Alright, I will forgive you, but on one condition," said Alina with a face made as flat as possible.

"Condition? What'sthat?" ask Rico. 

"I want meatballs" he said, biting his lower lip.

Yes, since an hour ago Alina has been very eager for the meatballs she used to buy in front of her mother's house. But because the sulking action was not finished, Alina was forced to hold back her curiosity because she was embarrassed to say her request to Rico. And right now, she had to take the opportunity to ask her husband what he wanted.

"Bakso? You want meatballs? All right then, I'll give it to you," said Rico excitedly. Just meatballs, no advice, he thought. 

Rico immediately got off the mattress to go buy meatballs for his wife, but had not had time to hold the car keys, Alina said at the time managed to make it stop.

"But I want meatballs sold in front of mom's house."

"In front of mom's house?" rico said in surprise.

"Yes. Meatballs mang Ujang, which we usually buy if we stay there," said Alina.

"Darling, but what time is it. Is Mang Ujang still selling at this hour?" asked Rico doubtfully.

Alina pressed her shoulders.

"You can find his house when he comes home. Anyway I just want meatballs mang Ujang only, don't want anything else."

Rico scratched his head which was suddenly itchy. His wife's request is why it's so strange. During this almost five months pregnant, Alina had never asked him anything strange, yet today he was completely made dizzy by his wife's unusual nature.

But because he did not want to make Alina disappointed, Rico finally agreed to his request. He moved to immediately go to the housing complex in-laws to find the meatballs they used to buy if they stayed there. 

**

An hour later, Rico is seen back with a plastic bag containing a round meatball ordered by his wife. He looks relieved because he has got what his wife wants, even though he has to wait for Mang Ujang to heat the meatballs in his house. Because indeed when Rico arrived there, the middle-aged man was already willing to go home, so that made Rico slightly forced him to give a bag of meatballs. 

Rico smiled happily as he carried the bag of meatballs into his room. But when the door of the room opened, his wide smile was now so faded because he saw the wife had fallen asleep. Rico ate his breath and walked over to his wife.

"Geez, honey, why are you sleeping? I can't wait to see you smile after a few hours of seeing you sulking at me."

Rico smiled faintly, he rubbed his wife's head gently, then landed a brief kiss on her forehead.

"A good sleep."

Then Rico turned his gaze to Alina's distended stomach.

"A good sleep, Unfortunately Papa. Don't disturb your mama's deep sleep tonight okay" he murmured as he gently stroked his wife's stomach.

Because his wife could not eat the meatballs he had bought, Rico immediately brought the meatballs to the kitchen and put them in the refrigerator. He had to keep it there because anyone knew Alina suddenly reminded him when she woke up, he thought.
