" Surprises..... "
Yoga was still silent, seeing Alina now right in front of him. Carrying a cake complete with small candles lit on it.
Then one by one the people he knew were close enough, starting to arrive and get closer. Both their parents, om and aunt, even the two Alina sisters who live abroad were also present there with their wives and husbands. Also present are some relatives and business partners and closest friends.
A pat on the shoulder accompanied by congratulations, and a hug from one of the college friends resuscitated him. All the compact cheers asked him to blow the candles immediately. With a still slightly awkward attitude, Yoga was about to blow out a candle on the cake that Alina brought. But Alina stopped him.
" Make a wish first.... " Alina said with a happy smile.
As Yoga closed his eyes and prayed, some of his relatives and friends cheered.
" May Yoga and Alina get married soon.... "
" Ammiinnn...... "
Yoga immediately raised his head, feeling jolted with that sentence.
" If it's definitely dong....! They are engaged from last year. "
" Ammynn.... " Answer Alina with a smile.
Yoga can only be silent. Yoga quickly closed his eyes and prayed in his heart.
' O Allah.... I just want to marry the woman I love. Prophetqha Azzahra. Give me God.... ! Ammyn.... '
Yoga immediately blew out the candles, hoping for this surprise party to end. Because Yoga felt tightness in his chest getting a shock that did not match his expectations.
After Yoga blew the candle, Alina immediately hugged him tightly while congratulating him. Not to forget he also kissed the cheeky Yoga, and Yoga can only surrender to receive the treatment of Alina. But his mind kept drifting thinking about Biqha.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of the surprise birthday party that Alina prepared for her, Yoga continued to ponder thinking about Biqha. He felt guilty for Biqha. This conscious yoga is not true, but he cannot lie to his heart.
When she was with Biqha, she never once felt guilty or thought of Alina. But when he was with Alina he felt guilty for Biqha. That was the reality he felt in his heart. He had already forgotten his love for Alina, ever since he was reunited with Biqha. And he was unable to control his feelings.
Yoga doesn't say much at the party. After greeting all the guests present, including Alina's parents and family. Yoga only responds as necessary and occasionally forces oneself to smile at everyone.
" Why do you daydream, baby.... Do you like surprise parties? "
Alina who noticed the attitude of Yoga earlier, finally ventured to ask while embracing the intimate arms of Yoga.
" Why didn't you tell me you were home? " Tanya Yoga with a little whisper and pitched ketus.
" If I said no surprise dong. " Said Alina spoiled by leaning her head on the shoulders of Yoga.
Sitting at a table with a few friends makes Yoga unable to wart. In addition there was his family and also Alina's family sitting near them.
" Unfortunately.... Erick can't join us here right now. That busy, is he? sampe can not slip home for a while to attend his best friend's birthday party. "
" Yes yes.... If there's Erick, it'll be rame, so it'll be fun. "
Excited friends who missed Erick's presence in their midst. Yoga only smiled, saying nothing to respond to the words of his friends.
" Is Erick really living in London now Ga'? How's the wedding plan going? He was also long-time fiancee, before you. But until now we haven't heard about the wedding? "
Ask other people about yoga. Yoga was still silent, he was very reluctant to answer their questions about Erick. Not only was it a matter of privacy for his best friend, but he also should not be mispronounced as it concerns the good name of the Atmadja family, the biggest investor in his company.
" Erick is still here.... "
Alina's speech came to a halt, as Yoga quickly squeezed her hand gently in Yoga's arm. Yoga glanced at Alina with a cynical look. Without saying a word, Alina understood the meaning of the gaze from Yoga. Alina just remembered something and realized her mistake.
Alina apologized to Yoga without making a sound, then fell silent. Yoga then diverts the conversation.
" Why did you talk about Erick at my birthday? "
" Why Ga'? How did you ketus say that? You are enemies, right? " Ask a friend who feels strange with his Yoga attitude.
" No.... Not at all. This morning we just had communication and he said congratulations to me. I also got a gift from him. "
" Oya...? "
Yoga nodded his head to answer the questions of his friends. Do not want this language to be longer, Yoga leave them alone with the reason of wanting to go to the toilet. Alina who was anxious with cold attitude Yoga also caught up with him.
Realizing that her fiancee was following her steps towards the toilet, Yoga immediately turned around.
" Why do you have to create an event like this and invite them all over the hell? "
Yoga immediately vented his emotions at Alina with a slightly held voice, so as not to make a fuss that would be heard by the people.
" I'm sorry baby. I just wanted to give you something special on your birthday. I think by inviting your friends, you will be happy. "
Alina explained with reddened eyes, seeing the flash of anger in Yoga's eyes.
" I thought inviting Erick was enough, because he was your closest friend. But Erick said he couldn't...."
" Obviously it can't. Do you know how he is? Erick wouldn't want to attend an event like this. At the risk of meeting people who recognize him. "
Yoga quickly refuted Alina's words.
" Sorry dear.... I didn't think about it. I-i just..... "
Yoga turned his face to see Alina who was starting to glow. With a ruffled waist, Yoga took a deep breath trying to relieve his emotions. What he really doesn't deserve to expose to Alina.
" Why are you even here? Shouldn't you still be in Paris right now? " Task Yoga with a lower tone of voice.
" You why is it so? You don't like me being here. Do you not miss me? "
Alina could no longer hold back her feelings. Feelings that block because of a change in Yoga attitude towards him, he can not cover anymore.
" You changed Yoga.... Why anyway? What's actually going on? Why have you changed your attitude to me? I have something wrong with you? "
" I'm fighting to cancel the contract, so I can be with you on your special day. I intentionally prepared this for you, but you have no respect at all. You're angry with me, just because your friends talk about Erick. Where was my fault? "
Alina was already unable to hold her tears to flow. And Yoga was speechless unable to say anything. Because Alina is indeed innocent, but Yoga is the urgency itself because of the anxiety in her heart. Making Yoga look for Alina's fault, just because she wants to avoid.
" When I was outside you never called me. I call you too, you rarely pick up. Once lifted you are also indifferent to me. Always rush to hang up on busy reasons. Answer me honestly Ga'...! What's actually going on? Are you the same as me? Your feelings are changing as I am now? "
Alina's tears are flowing. And Yoga turned his face away from Alina. Because Yoga also did not have the heart to see the sadness in the eyes of Alina. But this he had to do. Because he no longer has feelings for her. Yoga does not want to hurt Alina as well as Biqha later.
" Why silence? Answer me Prayoga Hermawan !"
" What's going on? You bickering? "
Suddenly there was another voice coming in between their debates. They were shocked to see the source of the sound. And Yoga became increasingly speechless, seeing that the woman who had given birth was there. Mama Hani just came out of the toilet, and watched their fight.
" Mom..... "
Alina who could not cover her sadness, immediately rushed into the arms of Mama Hani. Her tears broke in the arms of her future father-in-law.
" What's going on? Why are you guys fighting? "
Ask Mama Hani to her son. Yoga can only turn its face away. He didn't know what to say in front of his mother.
" Dear yes..... Don't cry anymore. Let mama do the same Yoga !"
Mama Hani gently stroked Alina's back which shook from sobbing in her arms. Then slowly let go of her embrace, and wiped away Alina's tears.
" Look at my mom's daughter's eyes get puffy. You calm yourself first inside yes....! while repairing your make up. Let no one see that you are crying. Especially if your family knows, it could be a problem later. Ok?! "
Persuade Mama Hani to Alina, managed to make her a little calm. Alina obeyed the words of her future father-in-law, then went into the toilet to clean her face and fix her makeup. I left Yoga and my mom there.
" What the fuck is this, baby? There's a gathering of our family and Alina's, and you're fighting here? What exactly are you guys fighting about? Why did Alina cry so hard? "
Yoga is getting confused, do not know what to say to the question by his mother.
" What exactly are you doing? Not the same kangen-angen prospective wives who have not met for two months, even quarreling. At a time like this again.... How big is the problem until you can't hold on to emotions for a moment? "
Yoga is getting cornered. Constantly looking down and repeatedly holding his nape also rubbed his face violently.
" If you don't want to explain, it's ok. But surely you should get better with Alina as soon as possible! You don't want to know, you can't be seen fighting in front of the others. Especially the Alina family. "
The firmness of the mother makes Yoga even more frustrating. Yoga felt like his head was about to break. With wide and fast steps Yoga entered the toilet, to cool his head.
After washing her face with water many times, Yoga could not calm her down. His head kept thinking and thinking, how to put an end to all this.
" What am I supposed to do now? "
After thinking hard enough, finally again Yoga was forced to delay his decision to end his relationship with Alina. His current situation and condition were indeed very unlikely for him.
Yoga comes out of the toilet with a fairly stable condition. Although heavy, but he should be able to hold back and act as if all is well. Same with Alina.
In front of everyone they try to act as a harmonious couple as usual. Alina even continued to hold Yoga's arm, although sometimes her gaze was blank.
After one by one the guests left the restaurant, both their families stayed there.The two of their parents and Alina's older brothers gathered together.
" This is a gift for you Yoga"
" Don't bother a aunt...."
Mama Alina gives a big paperbag to Yoga.
" Don't bother. "
Yoga also received a gift from Alina's parents.
" Our mumpung again collected, we better discuss now Mr. Haris. " Papa Adi's words broke the silence.
" aa... What is pa's language? " Tanya Yoga with a slight quiver, as it felt an unpleasant premonition.
" Furthermore? Yes your marriage. "
The father's words were like lightning strikes for Yoga. Making him flinch, speechless unable to think anything more.
" PE... A wedding? " The answer was nervous in panic.
" Yes.papa mama also papi mami Alin agreed, will hold your wedding mid this year. "
" Yes... If mama wants it before Lebaran even. But it's too complicated that we'll agree afterwards. The important thing is not to end the year. "
Mama Hani's speech made Yoga decay, looking down slowly with desperate eyes. But at once he glanced cynically at Alina. And was met with a cold look from him. But quickly Alina turned her face away from Yoga and forced herself to smile in front of all.
" But pa. ma... Yoga is not going to be able to hold a wedding this year. Yoga is still very... "
" busy? If that's the case you don't have to worry. Papa can handle some of your projects, so you can be a little free."
The word Yoga was broken by his father.
" Yes, the matter of your wedding preparations is also nothing to worry about. Let your mom and mom take care of everything. We also have the best vendor partners, so you guys just know it's okay." Added mami Alina.
" Yes dear.... You just say you want the concept of what kind of dream marriage, let mama and mami take care of everything. "
" What's so good about these two books? "
" If you need, you will help later. You guys just calm down. By the way Congratulations.... "
Said Alina's two sisters. And Yoga really can't wiggle this time.
