All because of Angel
Chapter 128
Angel approached her husband in the study. He wanted to discuss Auristella's upcoming birthday present in three days.
“Ean, can I disturb you for a moment?”
“Old interrupt is fine too. Here, Honey,”
Andrean hinted at Angel to approach him. He patted both of his thighs so that Angel would be on my lap but Angel shook his head because he knew himself.
“I'm heavy, Ean. There's no way I'm on my lap by you,”
“Yes is why, dear? I have no problem holding you,”
“No, I'm sitting in front of you,”
Angel sat opposite her husband. Andrean chuckled, they were already exactly like a pair of co-workers who were about to discuss, sitting face to face and equally firm in their sitting position.
“Okay what do you want to talk to me about, Angel?”
“You did not forget ‘kan if Auris soon birthday. Three days left,”
“Gosh, I forgot, Honey,”
“Hah? Why can you forget? I remember, and then I was reminded again when Daddy and Mommy accompanied Auris looking for a birthday present,”
“Jeez I completely forgot, Honey. But there is still a lot of time to find the gift, about what a birthday gift for Auris
*****
“I'm also confused. That's why I asked you. Everything Auris has, right? So confused about what to buy for him,”
“Yes you are right. He already has it all. What is a vacation ticket with friends?”
“Oh yes it can. But Daddy Mommy is about allowing Auris to go on vacation with her friends or not?”
“They always allow, Honey. As long as there is a guard, usually followed by the person Daddy,”
“Oh wow I salute Daddy never let go of his guard against Auris,”
“That's for sure, darling. Yes her name is also her only daughter and last child,”
“Ya we have prepared a vacation ticket with close friends,”
“Revano not included?”
“Honey, usually Daddy does not allow Auris to vacation with friends of the opposite sex,”
“Well I guessed. It is better for all women. I think it's safer,”
“Iya, I prepare first then,”
Andrean grabs his phone while Angel silently observes. Angel is spinning her brain. Andrean gave me a vacation ticket, while he gave me what? He's really confused.
“Ean, what do you think I'm giving you?”
“Darling, don't think about it. This vacation ticket is from both of us. Auris must be very happy,”
“But what is not less? That's ‘kan holiday ticket from you, you who prepared it is not me,”
“Honey, ‘kan I told you. What I have is yours too. What I did bwrarti you did. Well now I'm again preparing holiday tickets for Auris and her friends, you also automatically prepare,”
“But I didn't prepare anything, Ean,”
“Darling, your name is behind my name, so whatever I do you must also come along. Let me be busy organizing everything you don't need,”
“Hmm, I just prepare a cake for Auris huh?”
“Jeez, why are you so stubborn? You don't have to make anything, a gift from you
it's been a gift from me, Angel,”
“It's okay, I'm just happy to make a cake for Angel,”
“But you can be exhausted, Honey,”
“Who said? I won't be tired you just calm down. Yes if you feel tired I can rest,”
“You sure?”
“Iya, may Auris like my homemade cake,”
“Definitely like, all your cooking is delicious taste, Auris ‘kan has often said like that to you,”
“But don't force ya,“
Angel nodded her head while raising her thumb.
“Quiet, I will not force, if it is tired I will rest anyway not complicated cake,”
“You want to make a birthday cake ‘kan?”
“Iya but I'm not good at making complicated ones afraid it doesn't work. So I did what I could, and I don't think complicated,”
“You seem to like making cakes huh, Darling?”
”Iya I'm happy,”
“Don't want to get down to the culinary business, dear? Yeah I mean, that cake or that bread,”
“Hmm no, Ean. I'm not confident yet,”
“Indeed why? All that ‘kan should be tried first just know what the results are like,”
“But I'm not yet confident, Ean,”
If Angel wishes to have a business in the culinary field or whatever it is, surely Andrean will immediately think of it and then be fulfilled. So Angel gave an answer that would not make Andrean so think that he is very much in tune with the business world even though it is actually like that.
“Ya already, I came out huh?”
Andrean nodded his head. He also got out of his chair and folded his laptop. “You're done?” Angel asked her husband.
“Iya, I happened to work on,”
They come out of the workspace and are accidentally seen by Adrian who immediately teases them.
“Not in the room just making out? Hmm?”
“Bermesraan you mean? We just talked about something not fun, Ian,”
“Authorizing is free of you yes,”
Adrian chuckles at Andrean's words. He also raised two of his fingers “okay sorry. I thought you and Angel were tired of making out in the room,”
“So that you get bored or not, it is better to get married in the near future,”
“Ean don't do that. I want to marry Siap? Huh?”
“Ya Adriana,”
“We haven't talked about that. Still just a friend, just pray he immediately open my heart to me,”
“What's the reason he hasn't opened his heart? She has not been able to forget her ex-lover or how?”
“No, he's probably used to thinking I'm a best friend so more than that is hard for him. He needs to learn to open his heart, accept me as more than just a friend.

“Daddy, does Daddy know anything?”
“Tau about what, Ian?”
“Auristella gets flowers from her lover,”
“Hmm?”
Both of Devan's eyebrows raised to the ground Adrian said. Devan's mouth stopped smoothing his dinner because of the prison from his second child.
“Jeez, Ian lied, Dad! I can't get flowers from a lover,”
“Try explaining. Since when do you have a lover? Why not tell Daddy? For fear Daddy asked to end the relationship? Because you know Daddy wants you to focus on your education first,”
“Dad, I don't have a lover. Ian lied, Dad. Please believe me,” explained Auristella as she looked at her father with eyes full of pleading for her father to believe.
“Lying which part? Bis orong explain to Daddy, to all of us at this dinner table?”
Angel, Andrean and Lovi are only good listeners if Devan is already in strict mode on his son.
“Yes if you already have a lover, tell Daddy. Although Daddy wants you to focus on education first but you have your own pic, Daddy can what? Most Daddy can only pray that your relationship does not hinder your education, does not make you change, does not put you in a dangerous position. Since you're a girl ‘kan, so honestly that's one of the reasons Daddy wants you to focus on education first. Daddy thinks you can not limit yourself but if indeed you feel otherwise yes it is up. Maybe you no longer want to talk Daddy, maybe what Daddy said is the wind then for you,”
“Gosh, I don't think that way, Daddy. I don't have a lover yet. It's a flower from Revano, but she's not my boyfriend, she's just my friend,”
“Oh Revano, if friends why send flowers?”
Auristella glanced at her second sister with a cynical glance. Adrian has made his Daddy misunderstood.
“So like this, Dad. He thinks I'm tomorrow's birthday but I haven't. So she apologized too soon to send her intention flowers for my birthday but my birthday is still three days away,”
Devan nodded his head. He began to understand, so Auristella was right to get flowers but Auristella evaded about the sender of the flower was her lover when still only a friend.
“Wow romantic once,”
“Sin' silence! I'm not asking you to comment,”
“Yes what I said is true ‘kan, he is romantic, want to give flowers when he knows that your birthday is tomorrow. His efforts are visible, whatever it is appreciated,”
“Iya right said Ian, whatever we receive we must appreciate. But Daddy thinks Ian's words are right,”
“On flowers is true, but about the sender who is my lover is very wrong. I actually don't have a boyfriend yet. It's a flower from my friend, Mom, Dad. Noisy mouth!” Auristella threw a sharp glare at the elder sister.
“Yes how could I not have thought that you and Revano were already lovers? The flower ‘kan is usually given to his partner in the framework of a wedding anniversary, or—“
“No, the flower can be given to anyone, Ian. Not just a couple,” said Angel.
“Hmm yes you are right, Angel. Not just for couples, right? But ‘kan often so, mostly for couples,”
Auristella snorted in annoyance. After he was defending Angel, then Adrian seemed to start losing arguing.
“Ke parents can also, to friends, to superiors, yes to everything can,”
Auristella stuck out her tongue mocking Adrian. Angel is on his side. What Angel said was right.
Once there was Angel, Auristella really felt like she had an older sister who understood how she felt.
“Iya okay-okay I lost. But the point is flowers are often given to loved ones ‘kan? Well means—you can conclude by yourself,”
“Ya indeed Revano love me. Can't love a friend? Otherwise dear, yes that means he considers me an enemy,”
“Uhuhuh darling,”
“Ian, don't start yes,”
Adrian chuckles at a warning from his Daddy. He cupped his hands together and bowed briefly towards Devan.
“Ampuni servant, Sir,”
“Do not disturb your sister. Let her know what it's like to be sent flowers from a boy friend who loves her,” Devan said as she pressed the last two words and looked at Auristella with a smile.
“Ah Daddy is the same. Come on, I pulled those loving words. No, he doesn't love me. It was a form of kindness for him as a friend. Already satisfied, Young master and venerable old Master?”
Adrian and Devan stared at each other to digest Auristella's words that had been confusing.
“I mean the young master Ian and the old Master Daddy,”
Lovi chuckled explaining. Especially when he saw Devan's face change. Auristella closed her mouth so she could control her laughter.
“Daddy adorable yes when sulking,”
“Ah just found out? How not red, Daddy is that old? Didn't you say, Daddy, if you've been wearing non-formal clothes, you look young? This is Daddy wearing non-formal clothes, Ris,”
“Hmm yes, Daddy's right. But Daddy himself also said age can not lie?”
“Duh, why should be confirmed anyway?”
“Indeed, the parent often admits that he is old, but sometimes likes to admit that he is young. Make head bobbles only,”
“Truly can be said to be old later only if Daddy's grandson has been born,”
“That's proof that Daddy's old. Right, Dad, Mommy support,”
Angel always feels comforted when she is with her husband's family. Warm chatter, sometimes mocking each other, but actually love slaing he never got after Mother and grandmother no longer exist.
With his brother and father, there was never a warm conversation. There is also a scolded. But it's over, now Angel feels happier, more able to enjoy the real life.
