Not as Beautiful as Angan

The secret that is almost revealed

"Now you are two months pregnant, still not visible. It can still be hidden. But, later if your pregnancy has grown, it is already near the birth. How can we hide it? How can we cover it?" Jati Pak riled.

"That makes me seem imprisoned by the behavior of my own family-in-law, my selfishness at that time.I can not get out of this circle of lies" Carnation was no less restless.

"What about your husband and father-in-law, in this situation?" Bu Sekar asked about his extended family.

"Have they ever regretted what he did? Have they ever had a good faith to ask the ma'af to Cempaka? Regret it, admit his mistake? All this time, no! They just calm down, it seems there is no intention for that "Mommy Sekar started to mess around, he began to get upset and angry at the irony.

Carnation bit her lips, she felt unable to speak. He felt more guilty and regretted his actions.

"I'm a brash little brother, with no feelings" he murmured resentfully at himself.

"Your husband and father-in-law did you know you were pregnant?" Ask Bu Sekar, a moment later.

"Already ma'am" replied Carnations slowly.

"Then, how did you react?" Susul bu Sekar's.

"They told me to give this happy news to the family here, ma'am" Innocently, Carnations gave an answer.

"Then I'm here now, bringing news of my pregnancy" continued Anyelir.

"You weren't going to tell me about your pregnancy, were you?" Bu Sekar followed again with another question.

"Because I'm scared, ma'am. Afraid of Cempaka's brother knowing, so I just shut up" Sahut Anyelir again. He's really sorry.

"If you hadn't told me about your pregnancy, would you have kept it a secret from us?" Continue bu Sekar.

"It's not so, ma'am. But, I feel afraid of Cempaka. I don't know what to say to my brother,

really I am very afraid and sorry for having stepped over it" said Carnations.

"I'm confused mom, what should I do? Where will be another four-monthly event soon. I don't want mom and dad not to come to attend this four-monthly event of my pregnancy,

And, of course we have to lie again" said Anyelir.

" Of course if we have lied once, surely we must lie again for the umpteenth time and for the next. From one lie to another" Carnations began to look panicked.

They were silent, Mr. Jati looked at his wife's face. Looks like he asked for an answer to the panic of his daughter, Carnations.

"We can only pray and hope that your brother will understand and be willing to forgive us all" Ms. Sekar hopes.

"It seems like it's just that, for this. I have not got the other way" continued Bu Sekar.

"Yes ma'am, because of my faults and my husband's family, I became overwhelmed by this lie"

Carnations glare into the times when he held a marriage contract with Lightning, without asking for blessing from his brother, Cempaka.

"Four months won't be long, ma'am. Soon will definitely come say hello to us, what should I do? Do I have to hide anymore? as we used to hang out in the pelaminan, brother Cempaka did not know. Even up to this time, Brother Cempaka still trusts us all because of his innocence, because of his kindness. But, we are the opposite" The anxiety is clearly implied in the look of the Carnation's face.

"But, even though we're still hiding about my pregnancy, my mother and father will definitely be present at my four-monthly pregnancy later?" Carnations seem to be worried, if his parents can not come because they feel bad with Cempaka.

"God willing we will come" Ms. Sekar assured Anyelir.

"Thank you, mom. It turns out that my mother and father still love me, even though I have made my mother and father commit the sin of lying to my mother and father, hurting my brother, sister Cempaka" said Anyelir.

"As a parent, you must be loving for your children" Sahut pak Jati.

"Well, isn't it mom?" Mr. Jati asked his wife who looked dumb.

"I, yes sir" Ms. Sekar nervously answered her husband's question.

"Assalamualaikum" Lightning and Seruni seemed to have returned from school.

"Waalaikumsalam" They answered.

"Where is my brother Carnation?" Lightning asked, his eyes circling around the room.

"So the lightning isn't coming? Why sis?" Ask Lightning again.

Because he was the only boy, so if there was a Lightning coming to his mother's house, he was very happy as it seemed. Maybe there's a friend of some kind, like.

"Sister Lightning can't come, because he's at work. He just wanted to get to the front alley, for fear of being late. The streets where we're always jammed"

Carnations explained to his younger brother.

"But, later Brother Lightning will be here, will pick up sister Carnation right?" Ask Lightning again while clenching on her lap Anyelir, spoiled.

"Light! Don't do this! Later the baby is in pain" Anyelir accidentally shouted.

Lightning immediately shook his head as he looked at Carnations in surprise.

"Sister, why do you talk that way? Whose baby is it? Where's the baby?" Lightning is no less screaming.

"Your sister is pregnant, like Walnut and Flower first. If the baby kak Kenari that was born in her birth, it has become a beautiful child. If sister Bunga, still carrying the baby, just like sister Carielir today. The difference is, sister Bunga will soon give birth to her baby adek, if sister Carielir, still long to give birth to her. The baby is still in her belly, so the lick should be careful huh!" Bu Sekar tried to explain it.

"Ashik, it means that there will be two baby adek in our house!

Isn't it Seruni?" Lightning exclaimed in excitement.

"The baby sis Bunga, said the doctor is a baby boy, hopefully the baby sis Anyelir is also a boy, sis! Let me have two friends, fun!" Lightning exclaimed while prancing with excitement.

We laughed out loud at his behavior Lightning.

"I don't want the baby brother Carnation, man! I want her baby girl, to be my playmate" Seruni did not want to lose.

"Baby boy scoops!" Exclamation Lightning.

"Baby girl!" Seruni does not want to lose.

"Male!" Shouted Lightning, louder than before.

"Woman! It has to be a baby girl!" Seruni exclaimed with a loud voice. He doesn't want to lose.

"Already! It's already! Even fight

it's not clear like this. Sana, clean up first, then change clothes and lunch, I've already prepared the food at the dining table" Bu Sekar immediately mediated the commotion, he said, he was afraid that their screams would wake Cempaka from his sleep.

And, that fear has become a reality.

Cempaka opened his eyes, hearing the commotion between his two sisters, which was between Seruni and Kilat.

"What did my two brothers actually take, right? Looks like my ears heard them call a baby boy as well as a baby girl! Baby sister Bunga is clearly a boy, the time at the ultrasound. But, who's one more baby? It is impossible if my two sisters fuss over the baby sister Bunga, because they already know that the baby sister Bunga is a baby girl" muttered Cempaka with a body still lying on his bed.

Only, ever Cempaka asked about the relationship of Carnation, which he thought had been almost two years engaged, when they would get married?But, there was no Answer that Cempaka wanted, out of the mouths of his parents.

"Baby girl! Does Sis Flower contain twins? It seems, it could also happen, because her husband Kak Bunga is twins. Yes it looks like the baby sister Bunga" muttered Cempaka, she seemed to be trying to convince herself.

""I'd better get up, I want to make sure that the two of my sisters are the twin babies of Kak Bunga" Cempaka slowly woke up and stretched his body.

He got up and got out of his bed, slowly moving his feet towards the door of his room.

Opening the door of his room, the sound of his chatter Seruni and Lightning increasingly clearly sounded in his ears.

"I'm done eating! Anyelir sister, the baby is a girl, right?" Seruni said, he shouted while running to approach Anyelir who was sitting on the carpet, selonjoran.

"God willing, Seruni pray, ask Allah SWT to have a niece" Anyelir answered gently.

"Yes sister, I will pray'a let the baby girl" Sahut Seruni with her palms up.

"Amiin" Ma'am Sekar who just returned from the bathroom, guaranteed it.

"Eh, Carnations! Your leg! Fold immediately! Don't sit around! Come on, fold his legs!" Bu Sekar rather snapped at him.

"I don't know, mom! Forgive me"Anyelir immediately folded his legs.

"Why did mom tell Carnations to fold both legs immediately? And, like an angry mother saw Carnations sitting so, why?"

Cempaka muttered to himself. He wondered at the events unfolding before his eyes.

"Yes, next time don't repeat!" Bu Sekar's orders remind Carnations.

"Yes ma'am" Carnations answered him slowly.

"Baby, baby girl!" Seruni.

"Baby boy" Lightning did not want to lose to his sister, he shouted back.

"I'm curious" muttered Cempaka.

He also passed through Lawang's door to his room, to find out what exactly was going on in his house. He was curious about the behavior of his two sisters, he wanted to know what was being complicated by the two.

Slowly Cempaka set foot, heading to the kitchen, where his parents and three brothers were gathering.

"Light, who'd you expect that boy to be?" Cempaka tried asking Kilat, his younger brother.

"The baby brother.Any

"I mean adek baby sister Bunga" Carnation immediately snatched, while her finger poked her arm Lightning.

The words Lightning instantly stopped instantly. He looked astonished.

"Why are you guys fighting? We all already know, from the results of the ultrasound, that the baby sister adek Bunga is a baby girl, why do you expect to be a boy?" Cempaka then sat next to his younger brother.

"Not the baby sister Bunga" said Kilat, while looking at his face Cempaka.

"Then? Whose baby?" Cempaka asked inquiring.

"Baby brother

"Light! Here's a minute!" Bu Sekar immediately cut off the words Lightning, he was very scared. His face looks panicked.

"Yes mom, what's wrong?" Lightning immediately approached her mother.

"This please keep on the table!"

Bu Sekar handed me a plate containing food.

"Whose baby, huh? Makes me curious" Bathin Cempaka.

"The baby is a flower, of course. Lightning expects that the baby Flower is a baby boy, and Seruni is the opposite. She expected the baby to be a boy, so Cempaka" Bu Sekar was forced to lie to Cempaka again, for the umpteenth time.

"Mother said that to me, but I heard Lightning say, not the baby sister Bunga, then whose baby is mom? The one that was boomed by both of them." Cempaka expressed his target.

"Emh, whose baby is it? Ah, basic children! They just want to talk" Ms. Sekar looks clumsy attitude, like there is something she is trying to hide.

"Ooh, I think the baby is sister Bunga so twins" said Cempaka with a faint smile.

"The baby's sister Carnations, brother!" Seruni suddenly shouted.

"What's? Baby Carnations?" Cempaka frowned, with eyes glaring at Lightning, a sense of surprise and disbelief, very clearly radiated on his face.

"Mom, is it true what I just heard?" Cempaka asked, after a few words he fell silent.

"Emh, emh, of course ma'am, no, Cempaka, not Carnations" Bu Sekar replied nervously.

"Almost!" Bathinnya bu Sekar's.

"Something was hidden from me by my mother. But, what is it?" Cempaka Gumam.

Seeing Cempaka look confused, Anyelir just silent noiseless. He is controlling his heart which is not bad. He was terrified, if the secret that he had been keeping the meetings, would be revealed soon.

"Dead me, when it's all revealed. I should how?" Cold sweat began to wet his temples.

"You why? You seem to be unwell? You were sick this morning and were gonna throw up. Now, your temples are flooded with sweat" Cempaka approaches his sister, trying to dry her brother's sweat.

"No need, brother! Let me be the same" Anyelir retreated a few centi from his brother's hand.

" What's why? Am I your brother? Why can't I dry his sister's sweat on your temple, why? Is it wrong if I do?" Asked Cempaka again, he tried to approach his sister again.

Carnation became panicked for her, she immediately got up from her seat, and stood a bit away from her brother.

"Why? Why are you avoiding me? Why are you such a frightened person?" Cempaka asked Anyelir in astonishment.

"Me, me, I'm fine brother! I'm going to go back first"

Carnations diverted the conversation, to avoid Cempaka's other questions.

Cempaka nodded his head, indicating he allowed his sister to go behind.

"Oh my God, I am so scared. I was afraid that my lie would be known by my brother" muttered Carnations with his breathless breath, after which he was in the bathroom.
