Me And The Stars
Chapter 43 Anti mainstream

Latitudinal

After the last slide show appeared, Akhtar's friends immediately hit him, pushing him down until he was asked to be released. The way they euphoria is so childish!

I was showered with congratulations. And what makes me most touched is the words of Mother. "Jaga is fine, son. This is your husband's first child. Follow him and don't argue if it's for good."

This morning I could just sit at the dinner table waiting for bi Imah to make breakfast. Because the aroma of kitchen spices makes me nauseous, even though I did not vomit my stomach contents.

This Saturday, there is no need to be too early for breakfast because Akhtar is off work. The kids also have school holidays.

We went to the store, I don't know what Akhtar will do there.

Mas Akhtar gathered my employees and we sat in a circle. "Sorry before, I have no power over this place. But I plead, for his cooperation so that we both take care of Lintang and our prospective children. When he's here, I trust him to you. I know you loved him much before me." Akhtar said without further ado.

"Don't make him tired, if you're short on people. Please recruit new people." Further again.

"Suami mbak Lintang, the charm makes sultry." Rara whispered in my ear. I looked to the side and squinted my eyes. "Don't your macem-macem. She's mine." My whisper threatened him.

Rara. "What's the matter Ra?" Mas Akhtar rebuked him.

"Eh..." He was grinning with his innocent face. "Anu mas's. There's nothing." He immediately shut up and looked down. I want to laugh, but I'm not. Because Akhtar was talking about something serious.

"In the beginning of the pregnancy, maybe Lintang will rarely come here. Or if he comes just to sit down and check the report. You got it, honey?" I gasp. Because Akhtar suddenly stroked my head.

"Don't try to lift anything!" That's a dead price I can't bargain for. We did talk about this last night. I was just resigned, I was pregnant but this was her first child, her flesh and blood. I must obey this for our good.

We just for a little while, the rest I leave to Anna who's been considered senior by the kids. "Titip An shop, about eating I still take responsibility. Send a report once a week Ra. Keep getting along with you guys, yeah..." I just added that message to them.

That night we went to the wedding reception of Ray and Sania, a lavish party dominated by white decorations. The children were not there, because they preferred to be left at the father's house.

"I've returned your magic tissue. Good luck Ray!" Whisper Akhtar's mas on him while at the pelaminan. And I managed to get her a little pinch on the stomach.

"Congratulations San. May it be the sakinah family, mawaddah, warahma." I said to Sania, the bride in the white dress makes her look like a barbie.

And Sunday afternoon, Akhtar's family came to our house. We chose to sit in the family room. Mom sat on the couch while I sat on the carpet, but my back was on the couch.

Sora and Abhimanyu accompanied the children. Caraka plays robot, Zoya plays lego and the Star stays with her crayon.

Mas Akhtar was seen descending from the top floor. He still felt sick this morning.

Mas Akhtar went down the stairs in a hurry. "Ma, is this masakin ma?" Mas Akhtar showed his phone to Riana's mom. What else my husband will do.

Mom stared at the phone screen. "Instant noodles?" Ask with a frown. Mas Akhtar is a healthy food. Instant Noodles are included in the list of foods he avoids the most.

"Instant noodles? Not wrong, brother?" Ask Sora.

"Morning that cravings." Abhimanyu seemed to know what Akhtar would say.

"The location of the chicken should be the same eggs yes ma. I think in that photo." Said to mama. "Eh. I'm a plating, mama masakin aja ma." Further again.

I can only smile at my husband's silly behavior. As long as I was pregnant, she was hungry for eyes. All posts on social media that make it taste must definitely be obeyed.

Like yesterday morning, he asked for a hodgepodge. And last night he asked for a rolled egg. And this afternoon he did it again.

Mama went straight to the kitchen, when I offered to cook, but Akhtar said, "You're here, I want you to cook."

Akhtar sat beside me and lay down. Make my thigh a pillow.

Sora sneered at him, "It's getting worse. I want to be a father too."

"Abi, your wife took you shopping there. Rese'nya relapse if lack of vitamin F." Mas Akhtar slept on his side with his face facing my stomach. I stroked his head, something he liked the most.

"Vitamin F?" Sora's forehead wrinkled.

"Yes Vitamin Foya-foya." Akhtar replied, without changing position.

"You're lucky Lin, Akhtar's nauseous, Akhtar's a craver too." Papa said to me. "From Sora's pregnancy, Caraka wasn't nauseous, but her cravings were weird."

Sora and her husband had laughed even before papa told me. "What a weird pa?"

"What is not strange name, two-month pregnant women want to explore the Borneo-Malaysia border forest." I can't believe this. That extreme?

"Keep obeying pa?" I'm enthusiastic.

Papa shakes. "Danger Lin. But we ended up taking him to a pine forest tourist spot."

"But better than no one at all." Sora Speaks. "That was waiting until I was four months old."

"We agreed to give him the name Caraka. Because in Sanskrit it means wanderer." Abhimanyu.

"Assynnya!" Shouted someone from outside.

"Eh, rame turned out!" The sky immediately sat down in front of me and put down the laptop after greeting papa and Abhimanyu.

"How's deck? Can you?" ask her.

"Can brother." He started to open his laptop.

"Big baby why else?" The sky pointed at Akhtar with his chin.

"Still nauseous." My answer. "When did Lang start building?" ask her.

"What's built, baby?" Akhtar immediately took a sitting position.

"Look, we once had a plan to build a kosan. Yesterday I suddenly wanted it built. And ask the sky directly about the design."

"How much is Lin's room?"

"The sky has already made its design. Our land will divide two. One side for women's costs and one side for men's costs." I showed you the design on Sky's laptop.

Papa, Sora and Abhimanyu were interested in listening.

"Each building will have about 26 rooms complete with parking lots." My next.

"Well.this is grandpa's granddaughter! It's anti-mainstream!" Papa spoke with pride.
