About Gibran?
Part 03: Suprise (02)


At 17. 57


Melisa exhaled softly as she got out of the car, she just remembered that Mama and her father are now still out of town, even Arkan might be coming home at night, because there is an additional exercise, he said.


"Sir Tio has Erlan, right?" ask Melisa before entering the main house.


"Udah, No."


"Geez, does that mean Erlan was home alone this afternoon?!"


Melisa who felt guilty immediately rushed into the main house, but when Melisa opened the door ----


Dorian


The colorful crepe paper piece fell right off Melisa's head. And how shocked Melisa was when she saw Father, Mama, Arkan, Erlan, Om Noah, Wife and her two male cousins standing before her.


"Surprise!!!"


Shouted them.


Melisa was still staring at the spot, her eyes glazed over as she looked at everyone before her.


Even when Arkan started singing happy birthday songs for her, Melisa could no longer hold back her tears, she was moved. Very moved.


Melisa had never imagined anything like this would happen before, The father who she said had important business out of town was now in her presence, holding a birthday cake for her.


"Happy Birthday, Sweetheart-" one warm kiss landed on Melisa's forehead, leaving the girl closed for a moment. Melisa will remember this precious moment, yes a precious moment, where everyone gathers to celebrate her birthday.


Mr. Felix hugged Melisa tightly, longing after a few days away from the girl, the atmosphere was created when Om Noah stood face to face with Melisa, he stared fixedly at the girl before him.


Melisa's figure always reminds her of her late sister, Felia. Hugged Melisa's body long enough, as if to be a longing medicine for the figure of the sister who had long gone from her sight.


There was a bit of awkward feeling in Melisa, because she had never seen this kind of treatment before from Om Noah. But apart from that, Melisa is really happy because of the presence of Om Noah on her birthday.


"Happy Birthday, Sweetheart-" Mama doesn't want to miss, hugged and sniffed both Melisa's cheeks and forehead. Melisa never found herself in a position like tonight, where she felt everyone loved her very much.


At the dining table is available a variety of favorite dishes Melisa, the table in the family room was already filled with gifts that were out of whom as many gifts as that.


Melisa was really late, enjoying every moment together, even to move on and go back to her room to rest just did not feel right. Melisa wants to stay in the middle of people who seem to love her. Melisa just wants to quench her thirst for an affection that she has not been getting. Melisa hopes that tonight will be longer than a normal night.


...****************...


The next morning as she was about to leave school, Melisa was startled by the sighting of a new car in the main yard, and more surprisingly, the white car turned out to be a birthday gift from Dad for her. It was truly a surprise that made Melisa unceasingly happy.


While Om Noah gives Melisa a black laptop, actually the laptop is a laptop that Melisa wants to buy last month, but because Melisa is still in doubt because of the price, because of the price, melisa delayed buying the laptop until she entered university.


Melisa feels this is the beginning of a happy day.


On the other side. Gibran who just got a new email from someone immediately leaned back. Again he read the name of the sender more carefully and thoroughly.


Without a second thought, Gibran certainly immediately agreed to the invitation. Gibran was sure very well, this is not just a dinner as he imagined, there must be a strong reason behind this dinner, this dinner, must there be something Mr Felix wants to talk to her about?


"Am I asking Melisa?" Gibran had thought about asking Melisa about the dinner, but in the end, Gibran dropped his intention because Mr. Felix had just sent a new email, so that Gibran did not say anything to Melisa about the dinner.


For a moment Gibran closed his eyes, steadied his heart, that whatever would happen later, he would still fight for his feelings for Melisa. Whatever risk!


...****************...


Melisa stopped her steps when she heard someone calling her, it turned out to be Livi. The girl quickly approached Melisa with a parcel in her right hand.


"Happy Birthday with Melisa..." Livi handed the parcel she held earlier to Melisa, of course, received with a sweet smile by Melisa.


"Emmm, thank you so much Livi-"


"Eh but this one isn't from Livi, sister!" livi said cutting off Melisa's words.


"Em, just not from Livi, from whom?"


"That's from Mama, Mama who nitipin for Kak Melisa!"


Melisa who heard Livi's answer was instantly silent, between joy, nervous, and panic, mixed into one.


Livi grabbed Melisa's left hand, staring at Melisa fixedly. "Sister Mell, later if Kak Melisa there is free time, playfully to the house, Mama really want to meet Kak Melisa."


Melisa smiled stiffly.


"I-iya, sometime sister Melisa play there. Ti-titip salam ya make-"


"Mama" said Livi.


"Em, yes, say hello to Mama, thank you so much for the card."


"Yes, Brother, Livi's coming in." Livi hugged Melisa for a few seconds, before the girl left Melisa who was still pecking on the spot.


"Kok Gibran didn't talk to me about this?" murmured Melisa, because as Melisa remembered, Gibran had never said that his family already knew about their relationship, except Livi.


In contrast to the Melisa family who already know the proximity to the figure of Gibran Yuandara.


...****************...


What actually happened was, an hour after Livi came home from the mall, after celebrating Melisa's birthday. Mama goes straight into Livi's room, locks the door and attacks Livi with questions about Gibran's lover. Livi, who has been caught in a trap and no gap to avoid, is forced to answer her mother's questions, but some questions exist that Livi does not answer, because Livi feels it is not her right, but some questions do not answer, it should have been Gibran who said that to Mama.


Even Gibran himself did not know that his sister had leaked about his relationship with Melisa to Mama.


One thing that still makes Gibran hesitant to introduce Melisa to the Mama, fearing that Nesti could not accept the presence of Melisa in Gibran's life, is, gibran and Melisa are quite distant age and Melisa's position is still a high school girl.
