Fernando descended to the first floor where the main kitchen was, with Viona clinging to his arms. A smile crossed his face because Viona was so intimate like that.

"I'll be waiting here, okay?" Viona said excitedly.

​​

"Here where?" Fernando asked in confusion.

"Here ... in the kitchen. I want to see you making the pancakes," Viona replied while trying to lift a chair from the bar table near the kitchen.

"Hey!!!! Stop, don't lift a chair like that. It's dangerous!!" Fernando shouted in panic when he saw Viona tried to take a heavy bar stool to move it to the kitchen.

"Why?" Viona asked innocently as she shrugged.

Without answering her question, Fernando immediately lifted the heavy chair into the kitchen. His heart was almost dropped when he saw Viona tried to carry the chair herself.

"You're so careless," Fernando said fiercely while glancing sharply at Viona. He was very worried about the child in her womb.

"How is it careless? I was just ..."

"Don't you dare do that again behind my back, okay?" Fernando said curtly while glaring at her.

"Yeah, yeah ... even though I'm just ..."

"Don't argue!!" Fernando replied, cutting back Viona's words.

Viona immediately covered her mouth with both hands because she saw that Fernando was so angry at her, even though in her opinion, it was just a trivial thing she usually did.

Even in the past, when she was a medical student, Viona had carried a box containing health equipment that was much heavier than the chair that Fernando had moved to the kitchen.

Viona then walked over to the stool to watch him cook. She sat in the middle of the kitchen, wearing Pikachu patterned pajamas and Pikachu-patterned fur sandals as well.

Sometimes Fernando would stroke his chest when he saw his wife's collection of pajamas that looked like a collection of children's clothes.

Annoyed to see his wife's nightwear collection, he then bought sexy lingerie from Victoria's Secret for her, but none of the lingerie had ever been worn by her, except during their honeymoon on the Yacht.

Viona was forced to wear lingerie because Fernando didn't bring any other clothes for her. Fernando quickly put on the clean apron that was in the special cupboard.

Then he walked to the refrigerator to get some of the main ingredients to make the pancakes. Before going down to the first floor, Fernando had time to peek at the ingredients for pancakes on the internet, while Viona was in the bathroom. He didn't want to lower his pride in front of Viona by saying that he couldn't make pancakes.

"That's cornstarch, not wheat flour!!!"

"Use white liquid milk, not chocolate milk, it will taste weird."

"That's cheese, not margarine."

"Just a little salt. Are you trying to poison me with that much salt!!!"

"The ice cream will melt later, if you take it out now," Viona shouted when she watched him work. She became really impatient when she saw her husband mess up the traditional, very easy pancake recipe.

Meanwhile, Fernando seemed to rack his brain trying to remember the steps in making the pancake batter. He almost put the vanilla extract in the batter he was making, even though Viona said she wanted plain pancakes without any taste except the topping.

Fernando's face and clothes were now full of flour after spilling half a kilo of flour, making the kitchen floor very dirty and slippery because of the scattered flour.

He immediately took a broom and cleaned the kitchen first for fear that Viona would slip. Just imagining that made him almost crazy, so Fernando cleared it up neatly because he didn't want to take any chances.

Viona, who was sitting on the chair, kept shouting comments on Fernando's slow and messy work. She wanted to get off the chair several times, but Fernando forbade her so that in the end she could only wait patiently for her food to be finished.

"How many years do I have to wait? I'm hungry," Viona said, as she glanced at her cellphone screen which showed that it was four o'clock in the morning.

"Wait a little while, okay, Honey," Fernando replied briefly while trying to pour the pancake batter on the pan.

"Yes … we are patient," Viona said without realizing that she had said 'we' to Fernando.

Fernando raised his face and looked at Viona with sparkling eyes when he heard Viona's last words.

"What are you talking about, Honey?" Fernando asked with a smile.

"What are you talking about? I'm hungry, don't talk weirdly," Viona replied irritably.

"Alright, Madame ... wait a minute, this pancake is ready for you both to enjoy," Fernando replied with a smile to her.

Thump!

Her heart beat faster when she heard Fernando's words. Her face instantly turned pale. Viona slowly got down from the chair and walked slowly towards Fernando. She then tightly embraced Fernando's arm.

"Why do you come here, hmm?" Fernando asked her gently.

"Earlier you said "both" ... who is the other person? Right now, there are only two of us in the kitchen, right?" Viona replied, looking around the house with a scared look.

"Pppffffttt …" Fernando held his laughter with his hands because he almost laughed out loud at the words of his innocent wife.

"I'm serious!! Don't laugh like that!!!" Viona whispered, hitting Fernando on the shoulder softly.

"Answer my question, do you have a sixth sense so you can see astral beings like that?" Viona asked again while pressing her body against her husband's body.

"Hahahahaha …" Fernando laughed finally broke when he heard her words.

He could not understand why her wife was talking like that.

"What's wrong with you, Honey?" Fernando asked Viona softly.

"Well, then why do you do it!!! Earlier, why were you talking about cooking for you both, who is the other one? It's clear that we are both in the kitchen right now!!! You're the one who started to scare me, Fernando!!" Viona replied curtly.

Fernando then stroked Viona's face gently. He finally realized that his wife had not realized that her husband already knew about her pregnancy.

"I didn't say that earlier, maybe you heard me wrong, Honey, so calm down," Fernando said softly trying to calm the scared Viona.

"Really? You didn't say that?" Viona asked with an elevated tone.

"Yes, I just said that I would cook for you, Madam, not for you both. So don't think of strange things, it's still early in the morning and if it's still early morning like this, those who usually are invisible are ..."

"Whoaaa … Don't scare me like that!!!!" Viona shouted, crying in fear.

"Hey, hey, why are you crying? Oh dear .... Alright, let's go to the sofa for a while. Let me turn off the stove first," said Fernando, embracing Viona, who was crying.

Fernando quickly turned off the electric stove. He then guided her to walk away from the dirty kitchen slowly and just let the pancake batter which was almost cooked on the pan.

When they reached the living room, he tried to soothe her again as she was still sobbing. He kept hugging her while being embraced as such by Fernando, who had made Viona's clothes stained with flour.

Soon her crying stopped. She was asleep in his arms in a sitting position leaning on the sofa.

"Why are you so cute, hmmm?" Fernando whispered softly as he pinched Viona's nose softly

"Mmmmm …." Viona stretched in response to his pinch on her nose.

"Sorry, sorry … go to sleep, okay, sleep now … ssshhh," Fernando said as he patted Viona's back slowly, trying to make her fall asleep again.

Because it was still very early in the morning for any activities, Fernando finally fell asleep while still hugging Viona on the sofa. He didn't care about his face and clothes that were soiled with flour.

A smile appeared on her face as she felt comfortable sleeping in that position. Her hunger and nausea disappeared when she was close to her husband.

To be continued.
