After returning from the airport, Dean returned to the office while Bryana chose to relax at home. She started doing pregnancy workout routines every few days with an instructor.
After doing the workouts, Bryana immediately takes a shower and prepared lunch for Dean. she planned to bring her food to the office and have lunch with her husband.
In the white kitchen, Bryana is busy washing and preparing spices for cooking capcay. In addition, she also fries prawns which were previously dipped in beaten egg and seasoned, then dipped in breadcrumbs. Hmm, the results must be very yummy.
while waiting for the prawns to cook, Bryana cut several types of vegetables, then the meatballs that would become the capcay mixture.
"Bryana, it's really hard for you to cook a lot," Lily muttered when she just entered the kitchen and saw her daughter-in-law, who usually lay down at noon, was now cooking some menus.
"Ah, mommy is home," said Bryana with a smile, glancing at her mother-in-law. "I cook a lot to take to the office. I promised to have lunch with Dean."
Lily nodded in understanding and smiled seeing Bryana who was so concerned about Dean. "Then let me help you."
Bryan turned her head to look at Lily. "No, Mom. You just rest. I know you must be tired because since morning taking care of the kids, then go to school...."
"I think you're more tired because you don't stand too long," said Lily.
"No, mom. I'm not tired and have started to get used to this big belly. Besides, this isn't my first pregnancy," Bryana said as she took the cooked shrimp from the pan using tongs, then placed it on a plate lined with paper towels so it wouldn't be too greasy.
"Okay, then mom will rest. the children have changed clothes and are playing right away, mommy has invited them to eat, but they don't even want to eat," said Lily who looked tired.
"Let me invite them to eat later. Mother just rest," said Bryana while busy frying the shrimp again.
"Yeah, Mommy to the room first."
Lily immediately left the kitchen, while Bryana continued to cook deftly because she didn't want to make Dean wait too long to have lunch together.

until about an hour of struggling in the kitchen, finally, Bryana had finished cooking and all the food she had cooked was placed in a four-tiered stainless steel box.
she had cleaned herself up again and was wearing a dark blue knee-length dress with the sleeves open and a part of her hair pulled back. her body is always fragrant with the scent of her favorite perfume, Japanese Cherry blossom, and polishes her face with light make-up.
"Calvin, Sofia... Are you at home or do you want to come with mom to the office to deliver food for dad?" Bryana asked as she approached her two children who were watching tv in the living room.
"I'm at home," Calvin answered without turning his head.
"Me too. Soon my favorite Barbie movie will start," said Sofia the Barbie fan.
"Okay then, but you have to eat lunch first. Mommy has prepared it at the dining table," cried Bryana who had brought a bag containing a basket of food earlier.
"Yes, mom," Calvin and Sofia said at the same time without even looking up. ugh, they are too busy watching tv to care about their mother.
Bryana immediately walked out of the house, but in the living room met Susan who had just returned from shopping. She asked me for her housekeeper to oversee the kids while she was away.

in the office, Dean stared lazily at the pile of files he had to read before signing. He couldn't deny that Monica's absence had overwhelmed him, while there had been no new hires to replace Monica.
Check...
dean glanced at the open door, then a smile appeared on his lips when he saw Bryana. Like an arid desert drenched in rain, that's what he feels right now. His wife's arrival made him tired and his mood improved.
"I brought food for lunch," Bryana said as she put the bag containing the basket filled with the food he had cooked on the table near the sofa.
"I happen to be hungry and feel so tired." Dean approached Bryana who was preparing a meal for him, then kissed her forehead. "Haven't you eaten either?"
"Not yet, because I want to have lunch with you. Hope you like the menu." Bryana looked at the food menu that she had made.
"As long as you cook, I always like it." Dean instead pulled Bryana to sit on the sofa, but on his lap. "but the best menu is you."
"Don't make me the menu for you this afternoon. Remember that this is in the office. No obscene acts!" exclaimed Bryana with a look of horror.
"In our own office, it's not a problem." Dean kissed Bryana's neck and inhaled her fresh, intoxicating scent. "I'm so dizzy and need a boost."
"The spirit has come and brought the food, we better eat now before this warm food turns cold and unpleasant," Bryana exclaimed as she got off Dean's lap.
Dean sighed and glanced at the capcay menu, already fried prawns crispy, and also rice. there are as well as dessert in a small cup available in two servings and lime juice in a medium-sized transparent bottle.
"It looks so delicious..but it's even more delicious if you feed me," Dean muttered, embracing Bryana from behind while the one in the embrace was taking a portion on the plate she was carrying.
"How can I feed you when you hugged me like this?" Bryana asked, turning to the spoiled Dean.
Dean chuckled amused and immediately let go of Bryana's arms. "Don't be mad, I'm just too happy that you came. I have a lot of work to do and I've been dizzy ever since."
"Are there no longer applicants as employees here yet?" Bryana asked.
"Yes, but they are all women and I want male employees," Dean replied as he leaned back against the sofa.
"If it's a female employee, I'm worried." Bryana sat down and began to feed Dean with rice topped with capcay, while the fried prawns were eaten by hand.
"That's why I chose the male, but nothing is right yet," said Dean while eating. "By the way, your cooking is getting better day by day. I love the capcay."
"I learned from videos on Instagram or YouTube," Bryana said, then fed Dean again.
Dean nodded in understanding and continued to take bribe after mouthful from Bryana until it was finished, then continued drinking juice, and eating dessert. because he had finished feeding Dean, Bryana finally ate for herself because she was also hungry.
"Maybe I'll be home a little late at night," Dean said while eating dessert.
"Why?" Bryan asked.
"I have a bunch of files to work on," Dean replied, glancing at his desk.
"Don't push yourself too much, if you're tired, it's better to rest and continue tomorrow," Bryana said wisely like a teacher advising her students.
"I don't want to waste time because I'll be busy taking care of Louis and Lauren's wedding," Dean said with an air of ambition.
"Next time we will go on vacation to calm our minds and satisfy ourselves. I even want to take the kids on vacation again," Bryana said while eating rice with prawns. She doesn't eat capcay because she's not a vegetable lover.. It's far from Dean who can't eat vegetables at all every meal.
