Only Raised Children
108. Surprise l

That afternoon when he got the news if Alina asked his family to gather because there was something important he wanted to say, Morgan still looks indifferent. He just agreed and focused back on his work because at that time he was working on something that could not be left alone.

In the afternoon when all his work was done, Morgan thought about this. He was even very curious as to why Alina and Rico wanted them to get together just because they wanted to say something. If it's really important to say, why wait for the night and not say it immediately when the papa's man calls. 

Morgan may not be the only person who has suspicions about his sister, but because his time is currently at leisure, Morgan also tried to trace the location of his sister was. He suspects that Alina and Rico are no longer in Norway. Because according to him, if you just want to say something they can do it through video calls on their respective phones, there is no need to ask to gather. 

Yes, Morgan justified his thinking. He is very suspicious that Alina is no longer in Norway and will surprise them with her return. 

The laptop was in sight and Morgan began fiddling with the object to find the location of his sister and sister-in-law was located. Half an hour more focused on the screen of his laptop, now Morgan pulled both corners of his lips to form a smile. As expected a few minutes ago, when Morgan saw the location of Alila's phone was in one of the hotels not far from the city airport is located. 

"That's right my guess. Alina and Rico are no longer in Norway. Is this the important thing that makes two families have to get together?"

Feeling like making a sprain of his youngest sister, Morgan cunningly grabbed his phone to contact Alina or Rico.

Tut. tut…

The three calls he made had no answer from Alina or Rico. Morgan felt that his sister had deliberately not answered his call because she wanted to perfect her surprise.

"Basic, you two. You think you're the only one who has surprises, I have times too" Morgan murmured softly.

Without losing any ideas, Morgen began typing in a message that he would send to Alina and Rico's phones simultaneously. 

'I know you're not in Norway anymore.'

After the short message was successfully sent, Morgan also sent a screenshot of the hotel photo that became the resting place of Alina and Rico through his internet search. He deliberately sent it so that his sister and sister-in-law realized that he already knew of their existence. 

And sure enough, it wasn't 10 minutes from that that Alina and Rico had read the message. At that time Morgan looked excited to see the reply of the two people. He was very curious whether Alina and Rico were surprised by the message. But it seemed like his conjecture must be true, his sister must have been very surprised.

Morgan's eyes are still fixed on the screen of his phone, waiting for a reply from his sister who is currently still typing. Almost 1 minute writing typing on the chat message her sister, but Alina did not also send a reply. Things made Morgan when he was surprised, what his sister was typing, he thought.

Tired of waiting, Morgan threw his phone on the table and at that time Morgan's phone rang loudly indicating a voice call. Morgan quickly looked at the screen of his phone. 

There, Alina calls him, making Morgan's smile inflate perfectly. Without waiting long Morgan immediately answered his sister's call.

"Hi, dear brother."

"Bag what the hell. Why do we know we're here" Alina said in an unfriendly voice. Makes Morgan tickle amused by it. He was very sure if his sister was currently advancing her lips due to sulking.

"Don't you, please stop laughing?"

Morgan stopped his laughter from hearing his sister's voice.

"Don't you know where Rico and I came from?" asked Alina again who had not received an answer from her brother. "Did Louis and Sasha tell papa about our return?"

"No. Only you know you're here" Morgan said.

"Well, where did you know?" alina asked curiously. 

"Kepo huh?" morgan said with his prank.

"Oh Brother, seriously. Do you know where it came from? Honestly, Louis must have told you, didn't he?"

"No, Honey. Really."

"Continue?"

"Louis and Sasha don't tell us about your islands. Why did you guys come home all of a sudden and ask us to come together?"

"Jawab my question first. Do you know where we came from when we got home?" ask Alina again who now seems pushy. 

And Morgan, who had no intention of hiding his prank, answered Alina's question honestly.

"Abang tracks the location of your phone and who would have thought if you turned on the GPS so you can know where you are right now."

"GPS?"

Alina immediately checked her phone and it turned out to be true, the GPS on her phone turned out to be active, that's why Morgan was able to track her location through her phone. 

"Abang, did you tell mom and dad that I'm home?" ask Alina carefully.

"No, Al. Brother just checked your location and called you right away. Didn't you pick up your phone?" ask Morgan.

"Yes, it's the plan we want to give a surprise, but who would have thought that Brother turned out to be the first to surprise us" said Alina.

Morgan again chuckled, apparently his sister was really surprised by the message. That means his plan to upset Alina turned out to work. 

"You take it easy, you will keep your islands a secret. Oh yeah, why did you guys go home so soon. Don't you enjoy the Aurora? It's a sight you've wanted to see for a long time, Al. Are you satisfied to see it?"

"Never," replied Alina briefly which made Morgan frown in surprise.

"Then?"

"Yes." Alina seemed to think of an answer that would not make her brother know the truth of his return. Although Morgan knew if he was already in Indonesia, but his brother should not know the reason for his return. "Just want to go home. I miss my mom, because she hasn't answered our phone since we were in Europe."

A very reasonable reason, making Morgan believe just like that with the words of his sister. Maybe Alina really misses her parents, let alone they have just met after a long time Alina wander and live away from her parents. Plus the communication that was completely cut off during this one month, it was possible that Alina really missed them. 

"alright. Then you want to go home first yes, want to be ready for dinner later tonight."

"Abang's still in the office?" ask Alina.

"of course. The work in the office is very piled up, let alone the assistant of both brothers are on leave."

"Yes-yes, sorry. Now 'the assistant brother has gone home, the day after tomorrow can enter work."

"Good then" said Morgan at the time while packing his things into his briefcase.

"Oh yeah, by the way, where are you going to eat tonight?"

"Abang doesn't know where to gather yet. Later brother shareloc only if you already know the location."

Alina left him and after that they ended their respective calls. 

"How's it?" rico asked his wife after the call was interrupted.

"Bang Morgan already knows we're here. He tracked my phone to find my GPS wasn't disabled."

"Keep, who else knows besides Morgan?" 

"It seems like nothing. He said he just found out our location and called right away."

"If so we can still give a surprise to mama and papa dong, said Rico and asserted by Alina. 

"Yes already then. Oh yeah, you wanna take a shower now?" ask Rico to his wife

Rico was afraid that his wife was still sleepy. He wanted his wife to immediately take a bath to expel drowsiness because at this time they were not allowed to go back to sleep because the time was near evening.

When Morgan called earlier, they were still asleep. Not only do they deliberately not want to answer his call because they want to surprise, but they also do not want to be bothered with his short rest period. But on Morgan's third call, got them completely piqued. When they want to disable their phones, they are very surprised to see a message from the man who said that he knew that they were already in Indonesia. 

Knowing that Alina and Rico immediately opened his eyes wide. They rushed to contact Morgan because they were afraid that their parents would know about his return. If so, then their surprise plan would fail miserably.

After finding out if only Morgan knew of their return, Alina could breathe a little relief. Although Morgan already knew of their current whereabouts, at least their other families, especially their parents did not know that. So they can continue their surprise plans that will be done later tonight.

**

After finishing her maghrib, Alina and Rico immediately prepare to go to a restaurant to surprise her parents. Thirty minutes ago, Morgan had the location of the restaurant they were going to and he had also sent the location to Rico and Alina 

By helping each other improve his appearance, it is not until an hour that the couple is now ready with his appearance that will surprise their families. Not only to his parents, Morgan who had known of their existence will also get a surprise about Alina's pregnancy at this time, because the man did not know about her pregnancy

After the taxi that Rico had booked arrived in front of the hotel, now Rico invited his wife to get off. On the way to the restaurant, Alina's phone rang. He saw the incoming message from his brother asking for his current whereabouts. 

"Who, Honey?" ask Rico.

"Don Morgan. He's where we are."

"They've arrived?" 

"Yes." Yeah."

"Just tell me it's on the road."

Alina nodded and immediately replied to her brother's message like what her husband said. After the message was successfully sent, Alina put her phone back into the bag, while she leaned her head against her husband's shoulder.

"Honey" called Rico who managed to make Alina turn her head.

"What's wrong?" ask Alina.

"Do you want something?"

"Want something? You mean cravings?" alina asked and Rico answered with a nod of his head. 

Alina was silent for a moment, then she shook her head.

"It doesn't seem like it. I haven't felt anything yet, just as dizzy as usual."

"Is it still a headache right now?" rico asked with a little worry. 

"No, no."

"You sure?" ask Rico to make sure.

He did not want his wife to pretend to be strong by forcing herself and neglecting her health despite the light dizziness she felt. 

"Yes, Honey. If I'm dizzy, I'll say the same to you. At this time I'm not dizzy, you calm down, yes" said Alina again with a smile, reassuring her husband if he was really okay at this time. 

This time she would not be selfish, she would tell her husband if he was feeling a complaint that made his body unpleasant.

After almost 2 hours on the trip because the current night road is very crowded, now finally the car driven by Rico and Alina has arrived in front of a five-star restaurant. Alina, who was sleeping, was awakened by her husband. Rico accidentally asks his wife to sleep during the trip because he is afraid if Alina is exhausted.

"Honey, let's get up, we're there" said Rico as he gently touched his wife's cheek. 

Alina squirms. Because at that time his sleeping position was uncomfortable, it was not difficult for him to open his eyes. In a matter of seconds Alina was awakened from her sleep and sat her body with the help of her husband.

"Have we arrived? Why is it so fast," said Alina who did not realize if they had been almost two hours on the trip.

"So fast, we've been almost 2 hours on the way. You are very good sleep," said Rico.

"Huh, two hours? Why so long, I think it's only been a few minutes."

"That's because you sleep too well. Do you still want to fall asleep?" ask Rico then.

"No. Yeah, let's go in. They must have been waiting for us since."

Rico smiled and said, then they got out of the car and went into the restaurant. A servant guarding the entrance welcomed their arrival very kindly. The waiter calls his co-worker to deliver Alina and Rico to the room their parents had booked. 

While passing through several dining tables that were there, a waiter who was carrying food in his hand suddenly slipped due to the slippery floor. Food that was still smoking hot smoke almost wet Alina's body if Rico did not quickly block her with his body.

Hugging his wife, Rico felt a painful heat on his back. He held his upper and lower teeth together tightly while enduring the pain.

"Geez, sir, Miss," exclaimed the servant who was about to take Rico and Alina to the room where their family was located in surprise.

Instantly, the atmosphere inside the restaurant became boisterous due to the accidental incident. All the restaurant visitors who were there looked at Rico and Alina, even some of the waiters who were there flocked to see what was going on and also helped. 

"Honey, my God," said Alina in surprise.

The deep hissing that came out of her husband's mouth made Alina feel what Rico was currently feeling as well.

"Aren't you papa?" ask Rico to Alina. She was very afraid that Alina also felt pain in her body due to being exposed to hot food.

With a sad look, Alina shook her head.

"I'm not papa. Your back…?"

"It's okay, the important thing is you don't papa," he said as if nothing happened to him.

But Alina knew very well, from the look on his face Rico must be holding back pain.

"Master, Miss, forgive me. I really didn't mean it."

The cry from behind Rico's body made the two people stare at him. Unlike the average person who gets a disaster will be angry at the cause of the disaster, now Rico just nodded his head without showing the slightest emotion to the servant.

"No papa, maybe the floor is slippery but next time you have to be careful. What if my wife was exposed to this hot food?"

"Good, Sir. Again, forgive me, sir. I was really intentional. I'm sorry" the waiter said to Rico and Alina.

"Yes, not papa."

Seeing that Rico and Alina were not angry with him, the maid felt very guilty. Even the sorry about Rico made him feel so slapped and so unwell. 

"Sir, Miss, are you okay?"

The cry from someone who was currently just approaching them made the three people stare at him. The voice came from a man believed to be the manager of the restaurant. It was clearly on the name tag that was on his chest.

"I'm not papa. Next time the floor should be more attention. Things like that could happen again if you're still negligent in the little things."

"Okay, sir, we will correct the negligence we have committed. Once again forgive us. Let's apologize to you and Miss, this" the restaurant's manager told the waiter who spilled the hot food on Rico.

"Well, sir," he said with fear. Then he looked back at Rico. "Sir, once again forgive me."

Rico nodded slowly. 

"No problem." He looked at the restaurant manager. "Don't just blame him, you should be working as a team, so the one to blame is not just him, but everyone who works tonight," rico reminded the restaurant manager not to blame one person there.

"Good, Sir." 

Although he disagreed with what Rico said, that was all the restaurant manager could tell him. This is not the time to give the truth to someone who has been a victim of negligence. He had to say what Rico said for the problem to be resolved quickly. 

Rico was about to leave, but the waiter at the restaurant called him back to stop his steps.

"Sir, do you need a change of clothes? I was carrying an unused shirt. Even if it's just a used shirt, it's still worth wearing."

Rico thought for a moment. Feeling that it was impossible to wear wet clothes until he came home, he finally agreed with the words of the servant. After all, he did not get a change of clothes and his clothes in the suitcase had been delivered to the house through a taxi that had taken him to this restaurant.

While waiting for the waiter to bring a shirt for him, Rico and Alina continue their steps towards the room currently occupied by their families.

While enduring the heat, Rico and Alina enter the room that their family is currently in. When the door of the room opened, it was seen that their whole family gathered inside there enjoying the food available on the table. 

Seen from the almost exhausted food, it seemed like Rico and Alina had arrived late due to the very congested streets that night. 

The two of their families who were enjoying their dinner were very surprised when they saw the door of their room that opened suddenly while raising the figure of two people who were currently waiting for a call his phone. 

Yes, since an hour ago they have been waiting for a phone call from the two children, but until now they also did not get a call from Rico and Alina and Louis in Norway. They finally waited patiently while enjoying their dinner, but unexpectedly not the phone call they received, but the physical figure of their two children who missed it now appeared in front of him very suddenly. All of them in the room stood up from their seats except Morgan, who had learned of his sister's presence there. 

"Iina."

"Iina."

"Alinea, Rico."

"Devents."

"Alina, Brother."

Everyone was shocked to see the presence of the two of them. It was as if it was just a dream because it was unexpected if Alina and Rico were in front of him at this time, because their year, the two children were still in Norway and would only come home one day more.

Alina and Rico smiled at the surprised look of her family from there. They walked close to their families, as well as their families who approached them. 

"Darling, you guys are home?" santi and Zara said simultaneously. The two middle-aged women were quickly at Alina's side while hugging her with longing. 

"Yes, Ma, we're home" Alina said.

Then Santi and Zara turned to Rico who was next to Alina and hugged her simultaneously. But they were very surprised when they saw Rico hissing holding the pain in their arms. 

Santi and Zara were surprised to take off their arms quickly and looked in wonder at the child.

"Why, Bang? Why are you in such pain?" ask Santi. 

"Ma, Mas Rico's back was just hit by a hot meal outside earlier. It still seems to cause pain."

Alina's words back then managed to make the two middle-aged women startled. Even other members of his family were no less surprised to hear that Rico had just been hit by a spill of food that was still hot on his back.

"Good God, how come, honey? Oh my gosh,"

Santi worriedly circled around his son's body to see his back exposed to hot food. And sure enough, Rico's back shirt looks wet with food stains still stuck there. He touched his son's back and at that time Rico accidentally hissed because he felt a little pain on his back that was touched. 

"I'm sorry, honey," said Santi, who felt his touch was hurting his son.

"Yes, God, why is this so" he said again with a face that was very worried to see his injured son. 

"How can you get exposed to hot food, honey? What the hell happened to you guys?" asked Irfan who at that time also felt sorry to see his son. 

They had just returned home from vacation, but Rico had been hit by a calamity on his back. 

"The restaurant waiter accidentally spilled the still hot food towards us, Ma Pa. It just so happened that the floor might be slippery, so he slipped and accidentally spilled it. Besides, he's sorry and soon he'll be coming to bring a change of clothes for Mas Rico."

"Oh my God, honey, why can it happen like this anyway" said Santi who was still with a surprised look. "Let's sit down, you'll feel really sore on his back." 

Santim took the son to sit on the sofa and began to help open the buttons of the shirt Rico was wearing. Although the shirt is no longer hot, but the body of his son must feel sore because it was nudged by his shirt attached.

Alina who saw Santi was so worried for her son that it looked bad. He feels guilty that Rico had this little accident because he was protecting himself. If only Rivo had not put on her body, perhaps the one who was injured was her. 

Alina is really not feeling good, especially she knows that Santi loves Rico so much more than anything. 

"Ma, sorry Alina ya."

Everyone who was there stared at Alina as soon as they heard her apology. They all looked confused as Alina said that all of a sudden.

"why are you sorry, honey? What's going on?" zara asked in surprise and curiosity as well.

"Actually, Mas Rico could get hurt like that because of Alina. He deliberately protected Alina from that small incident. If only Mas Rico hadn't put his body up for Alina, it's possible that right now Mas Rico would have been fine and Alina would have been exposed to the hot food."

"Darling, why are you apologizing? Shouldn't I protect you from the slightest danger. After all, only exposed to hot food, I'm not papa. You don't apologize like that, yes" said Rico who disagreed with his wife's words. 

Even he would feel very guilty if he did not do this before. 

"Really, Honey. Rico is a man and a husband to you, it's appropriate that he does this to you. You never apologize, after all everything that happened has become destiny" Thomas told his daughter.

"Yes Alina, just a small burn, Rico can definitely hold it. Don't feel guilty anymore."

Irfan spoke up now. His son was a real man, just because he was exposed to any food would not make his son seriously injured. Perhaps just being given a smear of ointment to ease the pain in his burn was enough to make his son better. He was even proud of his son who had done the right thing to his wife. 

Santi also disagreed with the words Alina then turned to the woman after successfully opening her son's shirt.

"Darling, why are you apologizing? We are all worried about Rico's current situation, but that won't make us blame you because what Rico did was right. It's been very true. I'm sorry if your reaction is too much about this that it makes you offended."
