Mr CEO's Beloved Wife

"This is my wife, a very extraordinary wife, giving me so much trouble and problems. By the way, tomorrow is the most important day for me, the determination day. If I fail in this month, there will not be many choices for me. Next month I must have it no matter what it costs. I will do the best strategy, even the craziest will not be a problem," That man lifted his hands to his face, squeezing his fingers and feeling irritated as if squeezing imaginary thing in front of him.

People in that meeting room looked at him, did not know that the imaginary figure in the mind of the meeting leader was his wife's face, the woman who often made him upset, irritated and longing so much in an instant.

They looked shocked a bit. They looked at each other, shrugged, and frowned wondering what was going on. Even one of them scratched his neck of confusion after seeing it with their own eyes the complicated expression and odd behavior of that blue eyed man.

Some of them pocked one another to find out what happened with their CEO, was he possessed or something?

"So, tomorrow morning when she gets out from the bathroom, I will hand out two things, not questions. She will be able to avoid those questions, but with those two things she just makes a choice. Anyone knows what they are?" The marketing leaders in that orange meeting room listened to the CEO attentively.

What were those two things?

Sometimes that CEO was very explicit, but not in recent times. 'Odd man' had been stamped to for long time by his employees. But this time it would be another call for him, 'CEO took the wrong medicine'.

He, the sole heir of mega business Wenceslas Group, was often found smile alone any time any minute, especially when he looked up his mobile screen in his hand.

His dimples were shown up any time he drew his once in a blue moon smile. But this last month, he looked more cheerful. This automatically affected the office atmosphere, like rain in long dry hot season.

It could be easily guessed that their CEO turned to be another person within short time, sometimes a happy man or worried man.

Perhaps this person had taken 'wrong medicine'. This new title was stamped to him now.

Back to the orange meeting room, people were seriously listening to the CEO. They were using their brain in their best performance, but no one could answer that question.

Unless a man who looked at that blue eyed man, for a moment he took off his glasses, blew out the air hard and spoke lightly: "Sanitary napkin and a test pack."

"Precisely!" Mahendra lifted his right hand and pointed his fore finger to the man replying his question. A moment later he gave him his tumb up, "You are great!" He praised his employee.

"YES!!!" the market leader who got the appraisal slammed the table.

"Crap! Don't be stupid! This is meting!" Someone muttered.

"Ahh… you are right! I must be serious. Then I need to ask question to my brother. Is that okay?" this time Mahendra spoke up. Everyone looked surprised. They were both…? Everyone in that room was confused.

"Not a chance!" The man Mahendra speaking to replied.

"Can a little brother ask help from his big brother?" Hendra ran his eyes around the meeting room seeking for answers.

"Sure" They replied.

"See…?" Mahendra pulled his mouth to the side widely. He smiled at the man who said 'not a chance'. For your information, the man with glasses is Aditya, Aliana's husband.

"Ughhh…You delegate another responsibility to me again?" Aditya replied as he could not avoid it.

"My brother in law is really a thoughtful person. He knows what is in my heart," That blue eyed stood up. That long talk was his strategy to set up Aditya for handling the meeting today.

"Okay brother. You are so good person. Please help your little brother once again. " as Hendra walked out of the room quickly.

Aditya threw a pen to the door as Hendra left the room in a rush. He was really upset.

Some moment later the whole people sitting in a long oval table were looking at Aditya in curiosity and their heads had similar question, "brother in law?"

Before today's meeting, the two in laws of Lesmana were in a bit in argumentation. It was due that the big brother in law refused to replace his younger in law brother. Mahendra loved to delegate his responsibilities recently with silly excuses: "I want to make my wife pregnant."

"That silly Mahendra!" Aditya was a bit emotional, ranting to himself. No one knew that the marketing leader was the brother in law of their big boss, CEO Wenceslas Group. His marriage to Alia was for internal family only.

…

Again and again my husband called me when I was in classes. Then after that there would definitely many messages of sweet words. And if I did not reply that sweet words would be replaced with request, then with orders, and the last would be 'threats'. And if I chose to ignore by not replying to his messages at all, he would beg.

And what more extreme was with an application, 'this unique' husband would come to my class and that would create chaotic situation in my department building due to his artistic 'bule' face. (bule is a term for anyone with foreign face)

For the uncounted times, I had to get permission to leave the class or skipped my lectures for the sake of meeting the man that I knew for sure he would put on a sullen expression.

And there he was, standing outside his car and holding the door opened for me. He was unquestionably sweet when he wanted his second 'portion' today.

Pfffft, it was pretty handful to have such a husband like him, his extraordinary love for me, too much protective, too sweet, too much good looking, so much mischievous, and other odd and uncommon requests.

He said that it would not be enough for once a day, like meals, morning, afternoon, and evening. I wonder what he exactly wanted, so handful for me.

…

(A month ago)

That girl was awoken, and she he found Hendra was fresh, neat and tidy in his sleeping outfits. Meanwhile, she herself was still wrapped by her blanket without any outfits, of course.

Her face was blushing. She smiled sheepishly, remembering moments hours ago. Her condition was contradicted to her husband.

She sat down for a while trying to get herself back, then moved slowly. There was a pain somewhere there, but it was not unbearable. She slid down the bed while pulling her blanket to wrap her body. As her feet touched the floor tile trying to stand up, that pain came again as she took the first steps. "Arghh…" she exclaimed softly.

Her exclaim was heard by her sleeping husband.

Hendra got up from the bed quickly and grabbed her before she fell to the floor, carrying her to the bathroom. "I told you, I should help you bathing".

He held her tight in his chest, and that girl buried her face there due to embarrassment.

The man smiled looking his wife funny behavior. "Is it still painful?"
