Hate You, Love You

Hate You, Love You
Get Ready to Go


Amara bowed her head as she found Gio staring at her through the reflection of the mirror. This isn't the first time Amara has caught Gio doing that.


Gio often sees it when amara is mirrored. The man stole the chance to see his wife's face. Karen usually Amara always avoids to sit with him. Often Amara spoke by turning her face away. Gio liked to look at him for a long time.


Gio who was caught looking at Amara looked at her face with a wrong attitude. His white cheeks meet red, he was embarrassed because he was caught watching his wife.


"Ehem," Gio cleared his throat to neutralize the sudden rapid beating of his heart. "are you done with the grooming ?" Tanya Gio broke the awkwardness.


Amara raised her face and pretended to have her long hair. "Already" replied Amara, looking in the mirror for the last time.


Today is Saturday afternoon, the plan is they will come to visit Gio's parents and try to spend the night there.


Just this time Gio saw Amara wearing a dress. Usually his wife always wore a large hoodie sweater to hide her pregnancy.


But now, with a dress that was only knee-length, her stomach protruded slightly. Showed pregnancy.


Gio's eyes sparkled when he saw it. She wanted to gently rub Amara's stomach but she didn't have the guts to do it all. Being able to get close to Amara like this was something extraordinary.


"Come, let's go now," Gio asked.


Amara nodded slowly, agreeing. He immediately grabbed his small sling bag containing his wallet and mobile phone. "Why are you still standing there ?" Amara asked Gio who was still glued to the door frame. Gio's eyes never once separated from Amara.


"I'm waiting for you," Gio replied awkwardly.


"I can walk alone, you don't have to wait for me like this" said Amara ketus, as usual.


"Alright," Gio nodded slowly. Then he turned his body to leave Amara's room.


Amara stared at Gio's sturdy back that moved away. He also breathed. In her heart, Amara realized that she always hurt Gio. But he couldn't prevent it either. He did it spontaneously.


"Yes, Bu," replied Gio confirming.


"Oooh wait a minute, Gio," said Amara's mother as she headed towards the kitchen. And come back with a short time. In her hand, Amara's mother carried something box-shaped and handed it to Gio.


"Make your Mama, Gio. Mama deliberately made a banana sponge. He said he liked it, too,"


Gio greeted the box with a big smile. "Thank you Ma, Mama Gio would love it" replied Gio. She was really happy because her mother-in-law was so kind to her and her family couch.


Amara's mother smiled when she heard it. "Let's go !the hunt will get stuck. Careful yeah... Please take care of Amara" said Amara's mother without being able to hide her anxiety.


"Mom don't worry, I'll take good care of Amara,"


"Yes, Mama don't worry. I have Gio who always takes care of me" said Amara while smiling sweetly at his mother also to Gio.


He performed the charade as Amara had done before all the people.


Gio nodded his head, agreeing with his wife's words. "Oh yes, we go first, Ma," Gio and Amara said goodbye by kissing the hands of Amara's father and mother.


"Be careful on the road, Gio" said Amara, releasing the two in the door frame. Amara and Gio are about to enter their car.


"Yes, Pa," said Gio and he got into his car after first opening the door for Amara and making sure Amara was sitting comfortably in the passenger seat.


Gio put the cake box on the back bench. "Would you wear a seat belt?" Gio asked Amara.


"Already ! I'm not the kid you always have to remind me of, Gio !" Amara replied that she was not as friendly when she had her parents.
