Grandma's Birthday Party Part 2

Velan commented his smile to Vega, his mother-in-law did not like to mince words in asking what was crucial for Velan. Velan's pregnancy is much awaited news for Vega. Vega sincerely hopes the news of Velan's pregnancy will be the happiest news for the Lazaro family.

"Mother, during the night I prayed to God, that God might give faith to me as well as Voren, but apparently God has not answered the prayers that we have said, Ma'am," reply Diplomatic velan.

"Mother, I believe that God's plan must be the best plan for us" continued Velan who was suddenly a religious pretender.

Vega's eyes seemed to radiate disappointment. But Vega immediately commented on his smile.

"Mom understand, the important thing is not to forget to multiply the efforts accompanied by trust," said Vega.

"Thank you, ma'am," said Velan.

God, I'm sorry, I sold your name, Velan said.

"Let's go see grandma and grandpa" Vega asked.

Velan followed Vega to the table where Voren's grandmother and grandfather seemed to be surrounded by guests who were none other than their extended family. Alena's birthday party only invited Alena's extended family and Lazaro's extended family.

Alena seems to open one by one gifts given by her relatives who came and congratulated her. Velan's eyes caught the figure of a haughty-looking woman wearing a dark red evening dress intersecting straight. The woman was the woman who came to the wedding of Velan, but did not congratulate Velan at all.

"Aunt Alena, accept my simple gift, this is a jade necklace from China that is believed to give health and long life to Auntie," darla said as she opened the red velvet box in front of Alena.

A necklace with golden chains and a circle-shaped green jade looked impressive to anyone who saw it.

Velan felt uneasy, he did not even bring a fancy gift for Voren's grandmother like the other guests.

"Thank you, Darla," said Alena.

Alena's assistant swiftly picked up the jewelry box so as not to fill the table.

"Darla, didn't you come with Daren?" ask Alena.

"Auntie, there's still work to be done Daren, Daren says it'll be here soon" Darla replied.

"That's how Auntie is, the children have to work harder in order to continue the struggle of the old people" continued Darla.

Vega laughed inwardly, as Darla was trying to curry favor with her mother-in-law in order to find support. Vega really can't lose to Darla, she also has to try to get the full support of her in-laws.

"Mother, Mother's daughter-in-law's granddaughter has arrived" Vega said to Alena.

Velan immediately took Alena's hand and peeked at the back of the wrinkled-filled hand. Velan returned the smile of Alena who was staring straight at Velan.

"Happy birthday, Grandma," said Velan.

"Thank you" said Alena. "Where is Voren?" ask Alena.

"Voren is still busy with his work, Mom. Voren will soon follow" replied Vega.

"Voren's busy? What a surprise to me" said Darla, laughing with her made-up laugh.

"Darla, didn't you say that children have to work harder to continue the struggles of the elderly?" asked Vega in a quip.

"Vega, I thought that his busy life was just an excuse for him not to come to his grandmother's birthday party" Darla said.

The atmosphere instantly stiffened, Darla and Vega had to be really good at hiding their emotions. Darla glared sharply at Velan with her cat eyes. His thick and full lips in the dark red hue of the lips seemed to pucker up showing an expression as if he was chewing a young mango.

Alena directed her gaze towards Vega and Velan alternately.

"Vega, what did you mean just now that Voren's wife is pregnant right now?" ask Alena.

Darla felt the lightning coming from her head.

What's?! Voren's wife is pregnant?! Inner Darla tried to hide her shock.

"Mother, we just pray for the good news" Vega said as she glanced triumphantly at Darla, who was hiding her anger.

Alena grabbed Velan's hand, the old woman smiled warmly at Velan.

"We're waiting for the good news, my granddaughter" Alena said.

Velan felt really overwhelmed by this situation. Everyone seems to be very hopeful about their pregnancy.

"Oh wow, is this Voren's wife?" a woman's voice seemed to be rattling among the crowd.

"Hmm, Voren's taste is unique" said another woman who also joined the crowd.

"Renata, Renava, this is Velan, Voren's wife," Vega said with a smile to her two stepchildren.

Renata noticed the appearance of Velan that looked so simple. Black dress with V model cut straight to the knee. Renata herself wore a black sleeveless dress of medium length that perfectly wrapped her tall and slender body. Renata's long, black hair was beautifully severed, contrasting her milky-white skin. Renata wears thin makeup with bright red lips.

Renava has big eyes that make Velan so remembered Kak Toro. Those big eyes that glared sharply made Velan's guts shrivel. Renava also has a tall and slender body. Her skin was as white as milk with her long black hair styled wavy. Renava wears a pink dress that exposes her slender, smooth shoulders.

Again Velan felt inferior because he saw the appearance of his brothers-in-law who visualized diamond powder. They are so beautiful and look so fancy. Velan's eyes were fixed on the necklace and a pair of diamond earrings that refined their appearance. The two wore the exact same necklace and earrings as the jewelry Velan found in Voren's suit pocket. Diamond necklaces and earrings whose existence suddenly evaporated. Suddenly, Velan's feelings became unpleasant. In his mind came the questions that made Velan instantly troubled. 

Those diamond necklaces and earrings are trending, right?

"Hi, Velan," said Renata, making the daydream of Velan instantly crumbles.

"Given!" answer Velan.

Renata and Renava hold views. Velan smiled clumsily as right now all eyes were on him.

"Velan, do you think I'm the lecturer who's calling the student attendance list?" ask Renata to astonishment.

"Sorry Sister, I failed to focus, because you really fascinated me with your beauty," replied Velan with a clumsy grin.

"Thank you for your praise, Velan," said Renava.

Suddenly the atmosphere stiffened again when the arrival of a man who was immediately greeted with great respect.

Everyone immediately seemed to disperse when the man and his entourage approached Alena.
