A Gift For Mumut

It was already evening when Bian and Mumut arrived home. Mumut found a gift in the shape of a flat square decorated with a ribbon on the living room table. Aunt Atik said that this afternoon there was a courier who brought it here. Bian took the gift and handed it to Mumut.

"It's for you!"

Mumut widened her eyes and stared at the gift. She couldn't guess the gift's content. Since she was still stunned, Bian dragged her closer and put the gift in her hand, while his other hand was still holding it, afraid that Mumut would drop it.

"Open it ..." Bian said softly.

Mumut looked at Bian, then dropped her gaze on the object in her hand. Mumut felt her hands tremble as she began to open the wrapping paper. Upon seeing the box's shape, Mumut was almost sure it was a laptop, but she didn't dare to hope.

Bian brought Mumut to sit on the sofa and put the gift she was opening on her lap. Mumut could only obey silently.

Mumut couldn't hide her excitement when she saw a MacBook come into view as she unwrapped it. With trembling hands, Mumut took out the thing from the box. Her eyes were teary! It was really above her expectations. She never imagined that she would own this brand's laptop, especially with very high specifications.

Mumut looked at Bian, and she said quietly, "Thank you."

"No problem," Bian smiled as he looked back at Mumut. His hand moved to Mumut's head and rubbed her head. "The first thing before you become a manager is that you have to finish your thesis first!"

Mumut blushed, but then she became tense as Bian's hand moved to Mumut's shoulder.

"I see you don't have a laptop, so it is a gift for you to finish your thesis immediately."

"Thank you, sir,"

"Sir?! Don't call me 'Sir'. I feel like I'm so old!" Bian laughed softly. "And it feels strange to be called that by my wife."

"Really?" Mumut felt her heartbeat faster.

"Yes!" Bian then grabbed her closer to him. Bian's smile widened when he heard Mumut's heartbeat rushed.

"Then what should I call you?"

"Darling," said Bian in an indifferent tone.

"Darling?"

"Yes, darling!"

Mumut's cheeks were getting warmer, and the color was redder, which made her look so beautiful that Bian was stunned. Of course, it was difficult for her to suddenly change how she addressed him, as he was her boss. It felt strange to have to address him with such a close call.

"But, Sir?"

"Sir?!"

"Darling."

Bian laughed lightly, "I want to hear that again."

Mumut's cheeks flushed. She sighed.

"But I still want to work in the office before I get my degree, can I?" Mumut tried to avoid Bian's order.

"Working as what?"

"A janitor!"

The smile on Bian's lips disappeared.

"But you're the CEO's wife, dear!" Bian protested.

"And still listed as a janitor at the boss's office," said Mumut with an amused smile.

Bian choked to see that smile. It felt like this was the first time he had seen the girl smile since they got married. All this time, he only saw the nervous and shy Mumut. After staying for a long time, Bian finally agreed to Mumut's request.

"But on one condition ..."

"Don't let anyone find out we're married? Ready, sir!" Mumut immediately interrupted Bian's words. Mumut also felt unprepared if her office friends found out that she was the CEO's wife. She didn't want to cause a stir there.

Bian immediately glared at Mumut.

"That's not it ..."

"Yes?"

Bian showed a wicked smile. Something that she had never seen as long as she had known Bian, both as her boss and husband for the preceding few days.

"Call me darling three times, then kiss me!" The smile on Bian's lips grew wider.

"Uh," Mumut's cheeks flushed red. She complained to herself. She was so nervous when he had kissed her the other day, and now he wanted her to kiss him!

Bian motioned with his finger for Mumut to kiss him on the cheek. Her face was so red like a boiled crab. It turned out that Bian could act silly too.

Mumut's body froze. She looked at Bian shyly, but Bian didn't stop his gesture.

Their position was very close, and their faces were only inches apart when Bian pushed Mumut's body closer to his chest.

Closing her eyes, Mumut brought her lips closer to Bian's cheek. She felt her lips hot when her lips touched his cheek. She then felt an electric current running down her body. Bian shifted his head when Mumut kissed him on the cheek so that Mumut's lips touched his lips instead. Mumut was surprised when she realized that she was kissing his lips. She opened her eyes and felt her heart pounding.
