The Macau Love Story
24 (First prize)

For the first time I was really angry with Pandu. With his behavior earlier, he did not realize that he had made the baby scared, the proof is that I almost fainted because I was so nervous, until cold sweat came out and made it difficult for me to breathe. The fear that was accompanied by nausea, made me immediately pull out a fruit salad that had managed to get into my stomach.

Especially when she did not feel guilty at all, wanting to take out spicy words for her, but obviously I did not dare. Just demanding that I apologize to him, he dared to tear my heartbeat and his future son apart.

"Why do pregnant women cook for dinner?"

I didn't intend to answer his question, I was definitely still upset, after he said just pranking me.

"A pregnant mother still has ears, right?"

I ignored the question, I kept busy washing carrot corn and potatoes to cook soup.

"Here let me help you" he bargained as he grabbed a knife to cut the ingredients to make the soup that I had washed.

I let him help me without speaking a word.

Seeing me exhale in frustration, he smiled obliquely, I'm sure he really wanted to laugh at me which he managed to upset.

"Sy little guy know?"

Instead of being angry, it is precisely the laughter of mas Pandu getting wider. Strange as long as the people I know, only he laughs loosely when he says sneaky.

"Nay"

"What?" answer me cynically

"I'm not good at sweet talk let alone romantic, so I'm sorry I can't persuade you when you're angry"

In a split second, I scanned his face, trying to hold on longer to look at him deeper, but Pandu returned my gaze before finally saying "Do I need to kneel down to get your apology?"

"Did I feel guilty for making my heart explode?"

The man answered my question.

I refocused on the meat I was chopping. Expressionless and without a smile.

"Sorry Nay" suddenly Mas Pandu grabbed my hand and held it very tightly.

"I want to go home to Jogja" I said lowered my head.

"Go back to Jogja?"

I nodded seriously, as well as with Mas Pandu, he seemed to be seriously responding to my wishes.

"Don't make me fight again Nay, you know it's not an easy effort, not a one-way effort that works right away?"

"Then don't make me hold my breath any more, until cold sweat comes out"

"But I never meant to make you hold your breath, you need to remember, I'm used to doing things according to what I think"

"But it could be the face of the mas not in the decets, right again talking"

"Wife husbands are free to talk under any circumstances and in any place, right?" he said while creeping our fingers that are linked to each other. "Even we are closer than this" said Mas Pandu along with his hand which pulled my hand and brought my body to him.

"Mas there is Nuri" I said timidly.

Quickly, Pandu distanced himself.

"Sir let me help Miss cook"

"Ok Nuri, I also have work" said mas Pandu on Nuri who is currently opening the refrigerator.

"Mother is pregnant if tired of sitting yes" continued mas Pandu to me. She whispered before coming out of the kitchen.

I admit that Pandu is not that cruel, actually he is a good person, but the basic of me is outrageous, my heart alone does not know itself.

After cooking, I serve my food on the table, mas Pandu and mother were already sitting ready to eat.

Tonight, the mother will be bribed by her son who had already stormed wara wiri said, I bribe, I bribe, until Nuri tired of hearing it. While I, whichever may be bored, it is funny, and can be a separate entertainment for me.

Staring at how mas Pandu patiently feeds mother, I feel lucky to have a husband like her. It turned out that his words were really evident, at that time he said that he would make me love him, until I could not turn away from him.

Fine he succeeded.

"What will you bring?" ask Mas Pandu while wearing a t-shirt. He's getting ready to go to his hotel tonight.

"What time do you want to go home?"

"No need" I said flatly, with my eyes focused on the book I was reading.

I glance at the lyrics, Pandu looks at me full of search, maybe in his mind I am still angry.

"I'm going" She peeped at me after I kissed the back of her hand.

"Be careful"

"Hm"

Before he came home, as much as possible I should have slept, otherwise his heart would have gone out of place.

I hope my eyes can compromise tonight.

***

My eyes were perfectly rounded when I looked at the mirror, with a necklace around my neck. Small, but quite unique and luxurious, I'm sure it's expensive.

As soon as I came out of the bathroom, I immediately pulled the blanket that covered my husband's body, making him squirm at once.

"Mas" I woke him up.

"What?" he still with his eyes closed.

"Please bribe me with this necklace, right?"

A few seconds later, Mas Pandu opened his eyes and sat leaning on the head of the bed. "You're a coward, but you're scary?"

"What do you mean?" askaku

"When do you think badly of your husband?, I only buy you, but you say I bribe you. You could be Nay's wife"

"Who knows, this is a bribe su__"

"So your anger subsides, huh?"

I quickly nodded

"Sit down" he ordered

Duh, do not let yesterday happen again. It's still too early for heart exercises.

"Sit down" he ordered again with a softer tone "I will not make your heart jump, let's quickly sit down" he continued, glancing at the edge of the bed. Code for me to sit down immediately.

I also sat down, right next to his knees.

"I don't have to bribe you to assuage your anger" he said with a focus on highlighting my neutrality "I know what my wife is like, without my bribe, without me retorting, her anger will subside on its own. No need to capital a lot of money to persuade him, just in the little manikin said, later healed his own anger" mas Pandu's eyes still survive to look at me, making me more wrong behavior.

"Likes?" he continued when I was still silent.

"Favor"

"Together" he said, "Like what not?"

"Like" I blushed.

"I'm going to sleep again, still sleepy"

"What time did you come home last night?"

"Hour two" he replied as he lay down, his hand pulling the blanket.

"Hour two?" surprised

"Hm"

"Based on a con man, I said before eleven o'clock it's home"

"taking advantage of you, lecherous man, braggart, bribe, now con man, tomorrow what?, I really have nothing good as your husband Nay"

After saying that, mas Pandu again closed his eyes while moving sideways to my back.

"Sorry" I said to him, "Sleep again, I'll make breakfast" I whispered in his right ear, then kissed him on the cheek.

"Thank you for the necklace" I added.
