The next morning, Alex awakens to hear a ringtone from his phone lying on the nightstand. Instead of answering his phone, he even more tightened his embrace of Anes.
Alex looked at Anes' face carefully. It feels like he can't afford to be away from his beloved wife.
He hugged her so tightly, made Anes squirm and opened his eyes.
"Mas, I can't breathe if I'm in the arms of a gini, '" Anes slightly pushed Alex's body.
"Darling, are you coming? I don't want to be far from you,"
"That's the phone ringing, pick up fast!" instead of answering Alex's invitation, Anes focused instead on the ringing of his phone.
"Biarin, most David's on the phone" said Alex.
"Elarge school, who knows it's important. Early in the morning, it was noisy,"
Alex took his phone and took a quick look at his phone screen. And put it back.
"Not lifted up?"
" Let's do it, it's David, just interrupt. Continue last night yuk?"
"Him!" Anes immediately moved the position of taking Alex's phone and lifting it.
"Hello boss, in an hour and a half the plane will leave. Are you ready?" David makes sure Alex is not late for the airport.
"It's me, Mr. David" Anes said.
"Oh Miss Anes, please tell boss Alex that we're flying in an hour and a half" David repeated.
"All right, I'll be there..."
"Our departure is four hours away," Alex snatches Anes' phone.
"But boss,"
"No buts, just do as I say. There's still things I need to take care of right now,"
"Good boss," David said without being able to protest again.
"What business is there?" search Anes.
"Of course it's a matter of making children" said Alex and immediately invite Anes back into the blanket. And what happens next? Only they and God know.

Alex decides to drive Anes to his parents' house before he goes to the airport. He asks Anes temporarily to stay at Mr. Arya's house while he is away so that Anes is not lonely, and of course Anes gladly agrees.
"Darling, you go first? You're at home careful. Be careful not to mess with other guys. Don't spread the charm. Especially the butcher Agus, if you go to the market with mom" Alex said to Anes. It turns out that Alex still remembers the events of the time in the market first, and still remember the name of the butcher who liked his wife.
Mr. Hari and Ms. Ratna who heard Alex's words automatically chuckled.
"Yes yes, it's gone, ntar missed the plane," said Anes who was actually heavy to release Alex's departure.
"Ma, Pa, Alex is leaving first, so are you?" Alex says goodbye to his parents-in-law.
"Yes, don't worry. Be careful on the road" said Hari, patting Alex on the shoulder.
"Darling, I went to come back" Alex said before leaving his wife and father-in-law.

The next day...
One day Anes left, but she missed her husband.
"If you miss, why not just call?" said Ms. Ratna.
"Anes tried to call her from earlier ma, but not in the same lift as Alex," replied Anes who looked a bit anxious.
"Maybe he's busy, baby. Later try the phone again," said Ms Ratna.
"Hem," said Anes briefly.
That night, Anes' armpit was about to go to sleep, his phone ringing. He saw the name of the caller who turned out to be Alex.
"Hello dear, sorry from earlier mas very busy, this just had time to hold hp. You're not angry, are you?"
"No, just worried, I don't usually ignore messages or calls from me" Anes replied.
"Darling, change the video call? I want to see your face,"
And the call was turned into a video call.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to nyuekin you today" Alex said when he saw his wife's beautiful face through his phone screen.
"Yes, it's okay, I understand,"
They chatted until finally Anes fell asleep even though the video call was still on. His position is now sleeping on his side with his cell phone placed in front of him.
Alex smiled at Anes sleeping.

A bright morning, Anes was confused to start today by doing what. Finally he just sat on the porch of his parents' house.
"Four days Alex was gone, I missed him so much. Yesterday was also the same way Amel, today want to do yes?" murmured Anes in his daydream. He kept looking at his phone hoping for an incoming call from Alex.
"Honey, please buy some sugar at the corner shop there dong! Mama wants to make a cake, but the sugar runs out, "pinta Bu Ratna.
"Eh yes ma," Anes immediately picked up his phone and hurried away.
"Mrs where to take me," asked Mr. Anton who asked Alex to always standby to take her wherever Anes went. He will come in the morning and return to Alex's house when Anes has asked for him back.
"No, sir, I just want to go to the shop. All for a walk" replied Anes. Indeed, he had not been traveling around the house of his parents, and he wanted to reminisce about his past there.
"Well, madam, then" said Mr. Anton.
On the way to the stall, Anes' phone rang. He immediately shifted the green button after seeing the name of the caller.
"Mas Alex, I miss! When did you come home?" anes said after seeing Alex who was sitting in his big seat in Australia there.
"Mas is also kangen dear, try as soon as possible mas go home," said Alex who was leaning on his chair. He loosened a little of the tie he was wearing.
"What are you doing, baby?" ask Alex.
"This is again on the road to buy sugar" Anes replied. He deliberately slowed his footsteps.
"Why walk? Mr Anton isn't there? How dare he!" Alex raised his voice a little.
"I want to walk, not Anton's fault. The people in the stall are near, all of you want to go for a walk. Tired of knowing at home there is no mas,"
"Sorry, baby, ah shit! I can't wait to go home too. Just try it yesterday and bring you here,"
"For a moment, I arrived, I want to buy sugar first," did not feel Anes had arrived in front of the stall.
"Hem, don't turn the call off" Alex asked.
"yes" Anes answered briefly.
"Pak bought 2 kilos, huh?" anes told the shop owner.
"Wait a minute, neng," said the owner of the stall who immediately took the sugar at Anes' request.
"This is the sugar," the shop owner handed the sugar that had been put in the plastic crackle.
"Here's the money, sir" Anes offered 50 thousand dollars.
"So soon, the change,"
"No need sir, just make your father,"
"Thank you Neng,"
"Together sir, if you'll excuse me" said Anes.
Just a few steps Anes left the stall, he met some mothers who were none other than the neighbors of his parents.
"Eh Anes, right? Well now more beautiful yes," said a mother.
Anes immediately lowered the phone he had just picked up to see the handsome face of the husband.
"Yes Ma'am, I am Anes his son Pak Hari and Ms Ratna" Anes said kindly.
"Over looked, he said he was married? How have you had a child yet?" ask the other mothers.
"Not yet Ma'am" Anes replied.
"Old yes, but has he been married for a long time? If not, it's been almost a year, right? At that time he married her secretly, kirain got pregnant first, uh it turns out that until now he did not even have children. Hamil isn't like him either" said the other in a mocking tone.
"Your husband is rich, right? The owner of the famous Parvis Group company, right? Be careful, Loh Nes, do not let your husband turn away because you can not love him offspring. The problem in the household is not only money is equally as bad, but the problem of children is also very sensitive and influential in the household. Free if there is a lot of money but no children," said the others.
"Patience Nes, this is the real world, there are neighbors whose mouth is spicy model so," Anes' mind held something on his chest.
"Yes yes, when the son Tika Ajeng ma'am our neighbor, he was married only two months but was pregnant. You are the one who married her longer even not yet," said the other cynically.
"Don't be barren again. Pity your rich husband, he would want offspring as his heir later. Quickly check, who knows something is not right with your health,"
"Astaghfirullah," Anes was only able to hold a sigh while stroking his chest to hear the words uttered by the mothers.
"I'm sorry mothers, I have to go home soon" Anes said with a bitter smile.
Yes, Anes was anxious to cry at the words of the mothers. I don't know what their purpose is to say it all to him, maybe to remind Anes, but it sounds more like insulting.
Anes instantly made a thousand steps leaving the gossip mums. Replying to their words also seemed like it would only be a waste of time, Anes thought. She forgot that the video call from her husband was still active.
