Surprise Gift

Silent and silent. That was how Azalea felt today. Honestly speaking, fear suddenly invaded his soul. In that silent atmosphere, Azalea could clearly hear the sound of Reynand's heartbeat. Is that guy nervous?

Azalea instantly slanted. His eyes slowly opened. Under the moonlight that was peeking timidly behind the clouds. In the dark of a star-studded night, look at the two meet. Interlocking, filling each other with irregular heartbeat, also with a stomach that feels wrapped around.

When the two begin to be distant. When the hands move to each other. Suddenly the happy birthday singing made the silence so boisterous. Along with that, the extinguished list is again lit up.

Azalea looked surprised. He immediately retreated his steps to look at his family with a screech that could not be held. Azalea did not expect that everyone would remember her date of birth, while she had forgotten her birthday. This was truly an unimaginable surprise before.

"Mama! Papa!"

Then, Azalea turned to Reynand who was looking at her with an expanding smile. Afterwards, he approached the older brother who was carrying a cake with a lighted candle.

"Thank you, Ma ... Pa ... Brother Jasmine." Azalea hugged her family one by one. Then they went to the back garden where the party took place. There the housekeepers had prepared an event.

"Happy birthday, Non Azalea!" call the assistants at the same time.

"Thank you!" Azalea replied cheerfully.

Next, cut the cake. Jasmine had placed the cake on the table. Both of their parents were seated in the reserved seats. Azalea, Reynand and Jasmin and Brian remained standing.

Azalea received the knife and immediately did the first cut. He was confused who to give it to. The first cake should be given to the person who means the most. He wanted to give it to Reynand, but the shame was too domineering.

"Give the cake to your husband, Azalea," Jasmine said.

Azalea turned to Reynand who was now looking at her. He blinked slowly, then extended the first piece to Reynand in doubt. His heart suddenly beat. His feelings cannot be compromised. He's too nervous right now. Azalea's hand trembled, and almost the cake in her hand fell down before it reached Reynand's mouth if only the man had not grasped her wrist.

The gentle grip Reynand gave made Azalea's heartbeat even more crazy.

"Thank you," Reynand said in a soft voice almost like a whisper in the night wind.

Azalea was about to lower her hand when Reynand held her back. He stood stiff as the man hugged his body.

"Happy birthday" whispered Reynand in the back of Azalea. Then he unraveled the embrace and landed a gentle, long kiss on his wife's forehead.

"Cie!" Brother Jasmine's cry made Azalea even more wrong.

"Come on, eat!" take Brian while embracing Jasmine's shoulder, inviting the woman to prepare the plate.

Reynand smiled. His hands stretched out across Azalea's head. Instead of directly moving from there and preparing a meal, the man kissed the wife's forehead. In that instant, Azalea pinched her husband's arm, making him grimace in pain.

"The princess is ashamed." Reynand whispered, but it was still clearly heard in Azalea's ears.

***

Reynand carries the body of the sleeping wife. After the party at his father-in-law's house, he decided to go home. The man had already prepared his own event in the apartment. However, seeing how the face of Azalea who slept soundly, did not have the heart to wake the girl.

Reynand laid Azalea on the bed. Then, pull the blanket over the chest of the girl. Azalea's face looked exhausted. Of course, from morning they had not rested. Azalea slept in her office.

Afterwards, Reynand exited Azalea's room. He went into his room and then went to the bathroom. Reynand flushed his body with warm water, then after changing clothes he returned to the wife's room.

Reynand put the gift he had prepared onto the nightstand, sat on the bedside and stroked Azalea's head. The girl is still slumbering. However, as Reynand moved from there, Azalea's eyes gnashed open.

"Reynand" said Azalea. He looked to the left and to the right, realizing that he was in his room. "You carried me to my room? Sorry ...."

"No problem. You're light, really, probably because you ate less." Reynand likes to tease Azalea. He was happy to see a red tinge on the girl's cheek.

"I'm so skinny, right?" asked Azalea innocently then paying attention to herself.

Reynand chuckled softly. His outstretched hand pinched Azalea's nose with anxiety. "Happy birthday" he said later with a serious look.

"You said it was my mom's time at home." Azalea said with a serious look.

"It's different" Reynand replied, taking the gift she had prepared. He extended the gift to Azalea.

"This what?" Azalea lowered her head, then looked up with a curious expression.

"It's open." Reynand flicked his chin.

Azalea according. Slowly, his fingers opened the ribbon knot in the gift box. Somehow he was describing his feelings now. It felt ... the gift given by Reynand was the peak of the gift he craved.

When opening the gift given by her family earlier, Azalea really hopes to get a gift from Reynand as well. Apparently, his hopes had to be dashed because there was no gift from the man among the other piles. Who would have thought that Reynand had his own plans to surprise him. His heart is now pounding erratically, it feels like his stomach is now heartburn. Oh, don't let this special moment be interrupted.

Azalea's eyes puffed up as she looked at the contents of the box. A watch he wanted.

"Wow! How do you know I want this watch?" tanya Azalea did not believe. His hands trembled as he took the watch from inside the box.

Reynand smiled. He took the initiative to dress his gift directly. So he took the watch from Azalea's hand and put it on her left hand.

"You likey?" asked Reynand with a fixed look.

"Very. Where do you know?" tugut Azalea's.

"Secret." Reynand answered as she brushed Azalea's nose. "There are still other gifts for you" he said, glancing at the contents inside the box.

Justright. Azalea took the other prize enthusiastically. He read the sheet of paper in it with a look of disbelief.

"We went there on holiday-"

"But I didn't get the top three. I am ashamed to have received that gift. I don't deserve it." Azalea spoke while looking down deeply.

Reynand looked at Azalea with a sad feeling. He knew very well how the girl had tried her best.

"Learning is our responsibility as students. You've been trying. And, it's not a champion's prize, it's a birthday present." Reynand lifted Azalea's chin with her index finger. "You want to get a gift from me, right?" ask her with a whisper.

"Still," Azalea replied with a weak nod. Her tears are pouring. He was deeply moved by Reynand's treatment.

"Do you want another gift?"

"Can I?" Azalea asked back expectantly.

"sure." Reynand answered steadily with a confident nod.

"I want to see Mona. I want to know how he is. What can?"

"I'll accompany you." Reynand pulls Azalea into a hug. He also stroked the girl's head with a feeling of affection inside her chest.
