Giving Birth to My Brother
83. The surprise!

Elin smelled the smell of cake as she went downstairs. However, this time he smelled a very pleasant aroma instead of a very high aroma like this afternoon. Elin just guessed, Sinta might remake the cake for Ariel.

Well, Ariel's coming home soon. It won't be an hour since Ariel just sent a message that she's on her way home sooner. So while Sinta was still struggling in the kitchen, Elin took a bath and changed her clothes as neat as possible to welcome Ariel.

Elin sat on the sofa, opening her phone to read some articles. He turned to the kitchen and saw Sinta just coming out of there. Sinta had changed the clothes she was wearing this afternoon, even though Sinta had not taken a shower in the afternoon.

"What are you doing here?" ask Sinta. Actually Sinta is more happy if he welcomes Ariel's return. Ariel used to hug and kiss her when she came home from work. But now, it's like a competition. Who Ariel first met at the door, then he will get the prize.

"I'm just sitting around" said Elin. He did not know if Ariel also sent a message to Sinta that he would come home soon or not. "Sinta's mom take a shower first."

Sinta snorted as she had to yield to Elin this afternoon. He was still struggling with some cream and flour on his face and hands. Taking a shower is the best advice.

Before long, when Sinta came down again after taking a bath, she heard the sound of bells clinking. Because in the afternoon the guards came home, they would no longer be in front of the house. Miko must have gone home, thought Sinta restless. He cursed because now he was waiting for Ariel's return, but he just thought of Miko.

Sinta was almost at the bottom of the stairs when Elin cheerfully walked towards the front door. Sinta clenched her hands because even though she had rushed to shower, she could not be the wife who welcomed her husband home from work today.

Meanwhile, Elin with a wide smile opened the door. He was still smiling when he could see the figure in front of him.

"Elin?"

Elin's smile was completely extinguished when what she saw was not Ariel, but Maria, her mother. Elin took a step back as she felt her mother's gaze fixed on her large belly.

"Elin, you .. why did you get pregnant?" ask Maria in surprise.

Elin touched her stomach in shock. He retreated back when suddenly Sinta approached. Just like Elin, he was so shocked to see the in-laws coming uninvited and unannounced.

"Ma ... Mama," said Sinta nervously.

Maria now looked at Sinta's slender body. She turned her back because it should be a big belly in Sinta's body instead of her daughter..

"What does all this mean? Didn't you say ... You're going to give birth to your granddaughter soon?" maria asked confused. "Why is Elin pregnant?"

Elin back down. He felt his stomach harden at this moment. She may be too shocked that the baby is worried. "Mama ... actually ...."

Elin and Sinta exchanged looks. Sinta had already cried for fear that she would be removed from this family if Maria knew she was a disabled woman. While Elin clearly wondered in her heart why her mother could appear suddenly.

"Mom ask you guys!" hardik Mary. "Where's Ariel? Why...why are there lies here?"

"Mama sit down first" said Sinta with a huff.

Maria stared fiercely at Sinta. He most dislikes talking to Sinta, let alone being lied to by Sinta. She thought she would see Sinta pregnant. Ah, it's appropriate that Sinta or Ariel never send pregnancy photos. Apparently, there's something they're hiding.

"Mas Ariel hasn't come home yet" Sinta replied. He looked at the paled Elin. "Surely, Mas Ariel will come."

Maria looked at Sinta fiercely. "You lift up Mama's bag!"

Maria stepped into the house, because she was so angry that she had lied to Sinta, she had forgotten a little about Elin. He looked at Elin who was at the wall.

"What happened to you, El? Why are you pregnant? You're not even married yet" Maria said. "Are you lying to Mama too? You ... Who impregnated you?"

Elin shook her head when she just said that it was Ariel's baby. But it was betrayal. He will not get blessing. She believes her mother would be more upset if she knew she was pregnant with Ariel's child than she was pregnant with any other boy.

"Mom sit down first, come on," said Sinta who had lifted in Maria's bag. From outside, Sinta could hear the roar of Ariel's car. "Mas Ariel's back. We'll talk together."

"Chat? After all your lies?" ask Mary ketus. He felt his head spinning so hard. Because on the one hand she thought of Elin's pregnancy and she also thought of Sinta and Ariel's lies. He can't guess what's going on here. "Really ... What is this? Why aren't you pregnant and Elin is pregnant?"

The question was heard by Ariel who had just reached the terrace. Quickly, he entered. He turned away because he saw his mother there.

"Mrs ... Is your mom here?" ask Ariel.

"Mama deliberately returned to Indonesia sooner to welcome Mama's granddaughter," Maria said in a bitter tone. He pointed towards Sinta. "You said this month your granddaughter will be born, but .. Why is Sinta's stomach flat? Was the baby born or .. are you just lying?"

Ariel looked at Sinta who was crying out of fear. He was sure, Sinta was so anxious that Maria knew Sinta would not be able to give offspring. He looked at Elin who was just looking down. She could see the scared gesture of Elin squeezing her dress.

"Mama calm down, don't scream" Ariel said, embracing her mother's shoulder.

"Quiet down? Your sister is even pregnant! Who's pregnant with her child?" maria asked with a stern look towards Elin.

Ariel pulled her mother's arm which pointed towards Elin. Clearly, Elin instantly trembled at their mother's question. "Ma, can I explain?"

"What do you want to explain? You hide your sister who is pregnant and you lie to Mama if you will soon have children. Your wife ... she's not pregnant! You lied when Mama came for Mama's grandchildren!"

"Yes, Ma. I'm .. I'm not lying" said Ariel. He looked at his two wives in turn. Sinta shook her head loudly because she did not want to lose to Elin. She was afraid that she would be hated by her parents-in-law more and perhaps Elin would be accepted for having a baby.

"No lie? Then, why does Sinta's stomach deflate so? Where's Mama's granddaughter?" maria asked confused.

Ariel swallowed hard. He took a deep breath and said, "I said .. Mama's granddaughter was born, that's right, Ma. I'm not lying. But ... The baby was not born to Sinta. Elin's gonna give birth to my baby."

"What?" Both of Mary's eyes were almost out. He looked at Elin and Ariel in disbelief. "Are you pregnant with Ariel's child?"
