Sharing Love: My Husband Married Without My Permission

227. The Surprise that Failed

In the evening, many people came to the house. They are Arga's relatives and family. Arga said there were some people who didn't come.

They had gathered in the living room, so many, I guess until more than fifteen, until the existing sofa was not enough to accommodate our extended family. A large carpet was placed on the floor, food and drinks were on the table. I don't know when Arga's getting it ready, maybe when I was asleep, because when I woke up he wasn't there.

"This is what the hell? How were we told to come here? Is there a birthday, is there?" aunty asked while feeding her granddaughter who was in her early childhood.

"Yes, here. I canceled the appointment because you asked us to get together" said one cousin Arga. "Be aware that if nothing matters, I'll hang it behind you!" threaten him with annoyance.

Arga just smiled as he shrugged both of his shoulders upwards, making his cousin's sister become irritated.

"Later, if Papa has come I will tell you," said Arga casually. He left me and his family, went into the room.

"What the hell is it, Yu?" ask my aunt. I shook my head, not wanting what Arga did to surprise me to fail because of me.

"Wait for papa to come" I said to my aunt, smiling at her. The toddler was almost that year old I pinched his cheek, it was very anxious. Both of her cheeks are very soft and very good for me to pinch. Every now and then the boy moved his hand away my hand, annoyed by what I was doing.

"Old dong's. Why the secret of everything?" asked Auntie a little upset and also curious.

"Yes, if not kept secret, it's not a surprise anymore" I said with a small laugh.

Not long after that Papa came along with his driver. I welcomed the arrival of the father by extending a hand of salim to him. So too with the others. We sat back on the carpet making a big circle.

"This turns out to be all gathering here, what's the matter exactly?" ask papa to us.

"I don't know about Arga. Ask us to come here" said someone else. Papa quickly sat between us, taking the two-year-old girl over his lap.

"Grandfather!" yelled Gara who had just come down from the top floor, the ank had just finished studying together with Mbak Sari. Because he ran quickly when he reached the bottom floor and hugged Papa tightly.

"Grandfather's granddaughter!" Papa hugs and kisses Gara. A little careful also so as not to overlay the toddler on his lap.

Arga just came out of our room, carrying a big board, I don't understand what's in there. The large board contained several small boxes wrapped in wrapping paper, if I noticed the box was as big as a cigarette pack.

"Papa has come," said Arga, he kept the board on the table and hugged his father.

"What's wrong? Why were we invited here?" ask papa curiously. Arga got up, stood in front of all of us. He just smiled and looked at us.

"All I've collected?" ask Arga to us. He is like a leader in an assembly.

"Where do we know, do you know we have everything" replied one of the people behind me.

"Ah, yes. There are some who do not come" said Arga again with a smile with embarrassment.

"So what's up? Don't be so mysterious!" one of the others said.

"Patience" said Aunt, indeed aunt has always been a very patient and wise person.

"This is what?" Cousin Arga asked as he watched the box he had in hand, he had already started trying to open the box.

"Hey, don't open it first," prevent Arga from being angry. He glared at the male cousin who could never be patient.

"GJ, uh!" the man replied with annoyance.

"What is gold?" ask Aunty.

"No, but more than gold."

"Dong diamonds?" tell the others cheerfully.

"More than that" said Arga.

Some of them have got the object so that what is on the big board is no longer left.

I looked at Arga who was smiling towards me and kept one of her index fingers in front of her mouth at Gara.

"What the hell is this?" asked auntie and the others whispering to each other.

"That's a surprise!" said Gara. Arga was starting to look bad on her face when I saw she was still in her place.

"Well, what surprise?" ask the others, O beloved of Gara.

"Look at it, surely Om and Grandma will be happy. There's a surprise that Gara will have a sister!" said Gara with his excitement makes Arga now look to hold back upset because of the work of Gara.

"Huh? A sister? Because you're going to have a sister? Is this really Yu? The arga?" ask auntie to take turns. So did papa and the others. Smile and doubt because you have not got a definite answer.

I lyrically Arga who is still upset there, but smiles and nods his head.

"Alhamdulillah!" exclaimed Aunt, then hugged me tightly and kissed my cheeks right and left.

"Finally ... Are you finally pregnant?" ask aunt in disbelief. I nodded making the aunt hug me again and sobbed.

Arga approached and sat down near papa, patting Gara's arm gently with a look of annoyance.

"How come why say it? It's no longer a surprise!" Arga with his furious tone. Gara just stared at the father.

"You can go on again, Pa. It hasn't been opened, has it? The surprise is still in there," said Gara innocently. Some of us laughed at Gara's words, while Arga looked increasingly upset. What he planned was all thwarted by the actions of his favorite son.

"Astaghfirullah's. It's not a surprise, Mah!" he nodded while rubbing his face. I held back the smile of looking at my husband's upset face.

"Patience" I whispered to him.
