Lily Flowers for Prince

56. Surprise

The inauguration ceremony is over. Invitational guests who did not stay have already left the event venue. While staying at the hotel, can enjoy various hotel facilities or just relax in the room.

"Sir Ran, try this cake. It tastes great" Lily feeds a small piece of cheese cake into Ran's mouth. Ran devoured him with a wide smile. It's been a feed to know how much. Lily tried all the cookies on the table. She only ate a little, the rest she fed Ran.

"Honey, I'm full" Ran stroked her stomach that felt full.

Lily only realized that she had forced Ran to finish the cake she tried.

"I'm sorry, Brother Ran. You see Lily drooling look at these kinds of cakes. Very interesting" said Lily embarrassed.

"It's okay. But now I can't eat anymore" Ran chuckled.

She understood, pregnant women are sometimes amazing behavior. Fortunately Ran has been looking for information on the internet about pregnant women. So she's not surprised if Lily's suddenly not what she used to be.

As long as it is not a dangerous thing, Ran will definitely obey him as much as possible.

"We talked to Rico first" Ran directed his gaze towards Rico who waved his hand and walked over to them. For some reason, Ran felt saved from being forced to try various foods again. Because he saw Lily had started to glance at the West Java souvenir table

Rico had just finished talking to some of the media and invited to enjoy a meal in a place specifically reserved for them. Because during the event, the media crew worked to cover. So after the event is over they can just rest and enjoy the dish.

"Congratulations, Co. Successful show. It was so cool. Especially when playing angklung musical instruments" Ran patted Rico's back.

"Thank you, Ran. Thank goodness everyone was comforted" Rico said, smiling with relief.

"Oh yeah, don't forget it's eight o'clock tonight. There's live music. Especially later tonight there is Uniq Band, a band that is on the rise and trending everywhere" said Rico.

"Yes, we remember the koq. Take it easy" said Ran.

"Reporters are still on standby, Co. Is there another show?" ask Ran. Because the shooting equipment is now shifted towards the garden area near the pool. There is a small stage that has been beautifully decorated.

"Yes, for dinner tonight. It is held in the area near the swimming pool. They're from Diamond TV. This whole day covered everything about this hotel. Some will cover the facilities. Some more preparation for tonight's event. We also live instagram later" Rico explained.

Diamond TV is a television station owned by the Rico family.

Ran mangosteen while occasionally glancing at Rico like he was trying to understand something.

"Sorry, I'm staying again Ran...Lily. I'm going to meet the staff. Make sure the preparation of the live event is later tonight. You guys have fun" Rico left Ran and Lily.

Lily and Ran walked over to Papa who was talking to a woman.

"Lily.here, Son. This is aunt Gita. You remember, right?" Papa called Lily.

"Tante Gita...how are you?" Lily kissed aunt Gita's hand.

"Good aunt's news. Wow, you're this big. Last aunt saw you first grade Junior High before aunty moved to Bogor to join in about Handi at that time" Aunt Gita hugged Lily warmly.

"You're so pretty, like Mama" Aunt Gita stroked Lily's cheeks affectionately. Lily felt her sincerity. Auntie Gita is a warm and loving person.

"Ran, this is Aunt Gita. Les teacher taught Lily during SD" Papa told Ran.

"Dek Gita, this is Ran Lily's husband" Papa introduces Ran.

Ran nodded his head and gave a greeting from where he stood.

"You guys are very compatible.hopefully always be a sad family mawaddah warohmah" said aunt Gita who guaranteed everything.

"I'm sorry when you got married, aunt couldn't attend. At that time the aunt was taking the aunt's children to the boarding school"

"It's okay, auntie" Lily and Ran replied simultaneously.

Soon Angga and Andin joined them.

Andin's stomach is big. Estimates suggest giving birth in about three weeks. But Andin really wanted to vacation before giving birth.

They talked. It turns out that Aunt Gita has an SD-level education foundation in Lembang. Although the owner of the foundation, everyday Aunt Gita actively teaches also in her school.

"Papa was going to take you to Aunt Gita's house. But because aunt Gita this afternoon there was an event elsewhere, so even aunt Gita who followed here" said Papa.

"Auntie hasn't seen Lily in a long time. It feels like meeting Lily who is very smart and always wants to increase her learning time. If you learn not to for a moment" Aunt Gita looked at Lily who was reciprocated with a warm embrace by Lily. Aunt Gita stroking Lily's back made Lily feel very comfortable.

"If Angga has stopped by Aunty school several times with Papa" continued Aunt Gita.

"Yes, there happens to be a client whose office is close to the school of Aunt Gita. So you can be friendly. After a long time no see" Papa explained. Because Lily looked at Papa and Angga alternately as if asking for an explanation why Papa and Angga brother could stop by the aunt Gita school.

Angga talked to Aunt Gita about Gita's aunt who was at school in the boarding school. Angga is already very familiar with Aunt Gita.

Lily was busy with her thoughts. Ran grabbed Lily's hand then rubbed it gently. He knows what Lily has in mind. Lily seemed worried that something she thought was happening.

Until finally aunt Gita said goodbye. Having to attend an event somewhere else.

After the departure of Aunt Gita. Lily looked at Papa asking for an explanation. Lily feels Papa deliberately brought her to meet Aunt Gita because there is a purpose and purpose.

"alright. Papa will talk now. So Lily doesn't wonder in her heart" Papa smiled.

"Maybe Ran goes first, Pa?" ask Ran. Worried what Papa's gonna talk about hasn't been heard.

"Ran here just accompany Lily. You are already a son of Papa" replied Papa.

"If Papa intends to marry Aunt Gita. Does Angga and Lily allow it?" papa asked, making Lily feel like her body is frozen. Papa's words were like a big snowball rolling from a height and hitting him.

Ran clasped Lily's hand tightly under the table. Swiping her slowly to calm Lily down.

Lily took a breath. Trying to calm himself. Then look at Angga who looks relaxed.

"Feet allowed Papa to remarry with Aunt Gita. Angga did not mind. So that Papa is not alone at home, Papa there are friends sharing grief every day. Angga believed, even though Papa remarried. Not that Dad forgot Mom. Moreover, what Papa will marry is the person Mama loves and also loves Mama"

"They just want Papa to be happy and not lonely" Angga said calmly.

"Angga also already know this plan Papa after several times Papa invited Angga to meet Aunt Gita every home from clients. But Angga did not want to ask anything. Angga just waiting for Papa to convey Papa's intentions to us" continued Angga. Then looked at Lily who was still silent like shock.

Lily got up from her seat and walked over to Papa. Sit next to Papa and hold her tight. Lily crying.

Angga and Papa sat at each other. Papa sighed. Angga also just stared at Lily could not bear. She knew Lily must be in shock. Lily must have thought that Papa had forgotten Mama. But Lily does not understand that Papa needs a companion who can take care of Papa well. While Angga and Lily are no longer living with Papa. But Angga could not force his thoughts on Lily.

"As long as Papa is happy, Lily agrees. Lily just wants Papa to be happy" Lily said on her whim.

Papa breathed a sigh of relief. His teary eyes held the haru in his chest. So did Angga, Ran and Andin.

Papa stroked Lily's head as if Lily was a toddler.

"Thank you, son" Papa said in a slightly hoarse voice holding haru.

Ran takes a tissue and helps Lily wipe away her tears. Then give her a glass of water to calm her feelings.

Lily smiled at Papa.

"When is Papa going to propose to Aunt Gita?" ask Lily.

"We will prepare everything for Papa" Angga added.

"InshaaAllah next month. For the date, Papa will tell you" replied Papa.

Seen a happy look on Papa's face. Lily and Angga held Papa's hand in affection. They love Mama. They love Papa too. Mama's task in the world has been done to accompany Papa well so far. Papa should continue to live happily and not feel lonely.

Lily had been preparing for the answer since yesterday. The fear of a new mother-to-be makes him have to try to understand the circumstances and feelings of Papa. He knew Papa needed a companion who could accompany him when Angga and Lily already had their own lives. How selfish of him if he dared to forbid Papa to marry again, while he was not there at all times to accompany Papa.
