CHAPTER 1
Raya smiled sweetly. When she saw some of the dishes she made for her husband which were now neatly arranged on the dining table, she didn't forget to put some flower decorations and aromatherapy candles on the table to make it look more attractive.
After finishing his work. Raya began to clean herself to welcome her husband's arrival with a very happy feeling.
"Rio will definitely be happy with this surprise," Raya muttered with a smile that never faded on her face.
While singing a little song, Raya stepped into her room to start preparing herself to welcome her husband's arrival.
Today is their wedding anniversary, therefore Raya wants to make a special surprise for the husband she loves so much. This is because during their five years of marriage, Rio never demanded anything from Raya.
Even though their marriage has not yet been blessed with children. However, Rio still loves and accepts Raya as she is. Even so, sometimes Raya feels very worried that her husband will turn away from her one day.
The reason is, Daya once heard her mother-in-law urging Rio to remarry so that she could immediately have children for her family.
Hearing her in-laws' words, Raya's heart felt like it was being stabbed by a thousand needles. She felt very sad, but she still tried to smile in front of her husband so as not to cause a commotion between her husband and her in-laws.
Now Raya looks so fresh with natural make-up combined with the white dress she bought a few days ago, making Raya's beauty shine tonight.
After finishing her activities, Raya went back down to the living room to approach her husband, "Rio must be home by now," Raya muttered as she continued walking down the stairs.
However, when Raya was in the living room, Raya saw no sign of her husband being there. He looked at the watch on his wrist which showed nine o'clock in the evening.
"At this hour, he hasn't arrived home yet,Is it possible that he still has a lot of work to do at the office?" Raya thought positively and started waiting for her husband to arrive at the dining table.
It was late but the man she was waiting for never came, making Raya tired and sleepy, she started to fall asleep in the same position.
In the morning Raya woke up still in the same place, then she looked at the food in front of her with feelings of sadness and disappointment.
"Did Rio not come home last night? Did he have so much work to do that he forgot our wedding day?"
Raya felt so sad and disappointed because this was the first time Hendra didn't come home on their important day.
Today Raya took the initiative to come to her husband's office to bring food for breakfast, because Raya knows that her husband doesn't like food from outside.
Raya quickly prepared to cook her husband's favorite food again, but accidentally cut her finger.
"Aawwhhh.." Raya winced at the pain in her finger, and quickly treated the wound and wrapped it in plaster.
Then she continued with the postponed cooking. As soon as she finished, Raya started getting ready to go to her husband's office in casual clothes.
However, when she was about to leave her room, Raya was a little surprised when she saw her husband coming in slightly crumpled clothes with a face that looked very tired walking over to her.
"Honey, you're finally home." Raya immediately approached and wanted to hug her husband, but his presence slightly avoided his wife.
"Sorry darling, bro, it's really hot, I want to take a shower first," said Rio as he passed his wife.
"What's wrong with Rio, why is he acting so strange, never mind Raya, don't think badly about your own husband, maybe Rio is tired because he has a lot of work at the office." Raya always thinks positively about her husband. Because Raya knew how much Rio loved him, Raya never suspected him in the slightest.
Rio came out of his room down the stairs to his wife who was preparing food. "Darling, I missed you so much." Rio hugged his wife tightly from behind. Raya just smiled at her husband's words, then gave her husband a small kiss on the cheek.
"Let's have breakfast first, honey." Raya started spooning rice and her husband's favorite side dishes into a plate and gave it to Rio.
"Eat first, so you can face reality" Kekeh Raya.
However, Rio, who heard his wife's joke, coughed and choked on his own saliva. Raya immediately got drinking water for her husband.
Rio immediately drank the drinking water that Raya gave him. "Honey, you're not feeling well, how about we go to the doctor?"
"No need, I'm fine, oh yeah I forgot to tell you this afternoon I will be going on a business trip in maybe three or seven days."
"So sudden?" Raya asked while feeding rice into her mouth.
"Hmm... yes, because this is a new project, bro, you have to act on your own." Rio answered his wife's question a little nervously.
"It's okay if you stay at home alone or ask your sister Fara to accompany you here."
"No need, Fara is at school and the final exam will be coming up soon so I don't want to disturb her."
"Okay then" Rio just nodded and continued his eating activities.
"Honey, when are we going to see Doctor Tania for another check-up?" Raya asked enthusiastically.
Hearing that, Rio choked on his food again. "Honey, just eat slowly," said Raya while stroking her husband's back.
"I'm full," said Rio as he left the dining table.
"What's wrong with Rio? Why does he look strange today? Is it because he doesn't get enough rest because he has a lot of work?" Raya began to wonder about Rio's unusual behavior.
After finishing breakfast, which was almost close to lunch, Raya approached her husband in their room.
"Are you sure you want to go today?" Raya asked when she saw her husband packing his clothes into a suitcase.
"Yes dear, sorry I can't invite you this time." Rio said while hugging his wife.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine at home, bro, come home quickly, okay?" Raya started to rub her nose on her husband's chest.
"Don't tease me dear, otherwise I will definitely forget my trip this time," chuckled Rio as he poked his wife's sharp nose.
"Uhh... you're so excited!" Raya immediately pursed her lips.
Rio was very annoyed to see his wife's funny behavior.
"Honey, thank you for being with me and accompanying me for these five years. "I'm sorry because I couldn't be the perfect wife for you," said Raya while crying, expressing the emotions that suddenly appeared in her mind.
