Only Raised Children
124. Rena's Plan

By the time magrib Rena had just arrived at Wilson's residence. He came with a small suitcase in his hand. The woman came there as if she wanted to make a move. Even Alina who saw her friend carrying a suitcase was very surprised.

"How many days do you want to stay here?" ask Alina.

"Just overnight. Why why?" ask Rena anyway.

"Trus, why do you have to bring a suitcase? You seem to be moving out."

"What excessive? I just have pajamas, a change of clothes for tomorrow, and also makeup and skin care."

"That's all, why don't you just bring a backpack?" said Alina who is still concerned about the suitcase brought by her friend.

"The backpack should be carried, while the suitcase'll stay in the push only. Anyway why are you having trouble with my suitcase anyway, Al. As far as I know, the guest was invited in, not even introgated in front of the house," said Rena with his distinctive style. 

Alina chuckled at the nagging of her friend. It's a little excessive to bring a suitcase to stay one night, but that's how Rena is. It is not Rena if it does not do excessive things according to Alina. Afraid that her friend would nag again, Alina also invited her friend to immediately enter the house. She immediately took Rena to the second floor, where her room was located.

As they were about to climb the stairs, Morgan accidentally passed by the chest tel4nj4ng from the direction of the kitchen, making Rena who accidentally saw him then widened her eyes in surprise. 

"Gosh," his screech made Alina look at him in wonder. 

"What's up, Ren."

Not yet Rena replied, Alina's view was immediately directed to her brother who was not wearing clothes at the time.

"Jeez, Brother. Why don't you put some clothes on in front of my friend?" alina. 

"Well, how would you know if your friend is here. Later, he said he was looking at Brother," said Morgan with his leisure.

"Who hates you? You're the one standing in front of me, you shameless bastard."

"What's? Don't know shame? Well, Al, your friend is really ya–"

"That's it. You go in that room, don't stand there. Come on, let's go up, Ren," Alina asked Rena while holding her hand.

Rena also agreed and immediately went upstairs while leading her friend who walked slowly. 

"Al, why don't you just move in the basement? Aren't you troubled by your body having to go up and down stairs?" asked Rena who looked anxious to see her friend up the stairs with her distended stomach.

"Just relax, there's Rico helping me up and down the stairs. After all, counting instead of sports, I've never been a sport all this time."

Hearing her friend's answer, Rena scrunched her forehead while gulping. He shuddered a little when his friend made it dangerous as a substitute for sports like this. Alina was crazy, he thought.

An hour before bed, Alina and Rena look busy with their cell phones. They are currently making a video call with their partner who is out of town. If these two days Alina will make a video call with Rico until she falls asleep, then not with tonight. Tonight she had a friend who would sleep with her, so she did not want to ignore the special guest for a long chat with her husband via video call.  In addition, Alina also wanted her husband to rest immediately and not wait for her to sleep first, so that tomorrow morning she could finish her work immediately and return here. 

A few minutes before going to bed, Alina and Rena closed their call to their partner. While waiting for drowsiness to attack, they also had a short chat with the condition of the main light that had died. Only one sleeping light was lit. Since marriage, Alina prefers to sleep with a dark state, as well as Rena who is already used to sleeping with the lights out. 

The conversation that was supposed to take place briefly now made them forget about time. An alarm on Alina's phone alerted them when the time was 12:00 p.m. 

"Gosh, it's twelve, Ren. Rico must be very angry if he finds out I haven't slept at this hour" Alina said, biting her lower lip. 

"You've been talking about it all the time, yes I'm coming."

"Why don't you tell me, too, if we've been talking for more than 3 hours?"

"I'm used to sleeping nights with Andi. I thought you accidentally didn't sleep because you weren't sleepy."

"Yaudah, let's go to bed fast. Don't let my husband know I haven't slept."

Rena agreed, then they immediately closed their eyes. But not yet 2 seconds, now Alina re-opened her eyes with surprise, which made Rena feel surprised. 

"Good, I forgot."

"Forgot what?" tany Rena again. 

Without intending to say the words of her friend, Alina grabbed her phone that was on the nightstand. He opened the alarm settings and saw the caption on the alarm that just sounded earlier. 

"That's right, '" said Arina who made Rena again feel astonished.

"What the hell is it, Al? You why?"

"Ren, it turns out tomorrow's Rico's birthday. The sounding was an alarm reminder of Rico's birthday," Alina told Reuters.

Alina sets an alarm on her phone to remind her of her husband's birthday. When the alarm went off, he could not see the name of the reminder that appeared on his phone screen, because all he saw was the clock that had shown at 12:00 p.m. 

"Rico's birthday?"

Alna nodded her head.

"Yes. Tomorrow's he coming home, I have to give him what for him? Tomorrow is not your activity? Temenin I find a gift for my husband yuk," said Alina with so frenzied. 

"Rico's coming home at what time?" ask Rena first.

"I don't know, but it looks like noon. So we have to leave early in the morning."

"Are you sure? It's time for me, Al. The characters open at ten in the morning, we won't have time."

Alina was silent to hear Rena's words. That's right, the time will not be there, especially if he is afraid if Rico will go home early. Instead of giving a surprise, there she will instead be taken by her husband because he came out without permission.

"So how's dong? I really want to give her a surprise" said Alina.

"Where are you…?" 

Rena propped up her chin with her hands, she seemed to be thinking of helping her friend surprise her husband. In less than 10 seconds, Rena had found an idea to help her friend.

"How about you just pretend to sulk with Rico?"

"Pretending sulking? You mean like what he did when I had my birthday yesterday?"

"Yes, more or less so. But this time you have to be angry with an excuse." 

"Example?" ask Alina. 

"You should call him 10 times. I'm sure Rico must be asleep and won't be able to lift it. Well, tomorrow morning you have to pretend to be angry because your call is not responded by him. Tomorrow morning I'll call my subscription bakery to send you a birthday cake. When Rico came home, you just told him that you were actually just pretending to prank him."

"But, when I just gave him a cake? What prize?" alina asked for advice. 

"For a reward, 'will catch up, Al. What matters is the surprise, how?" said Rena while raising her eyebrows.

"Keep, if suddenly Rico picks up my phone tonight, what? Failed the plan."

"He wouldn't know if you called. You are quite miscall, when the call starts coming in, you immediately turn it off. Do it 10 times, like you need him tonight."

Alina raised one of her eyebrows to Rena. 

"You're used to giving surprises like this to Andi?" ask Alina. He wondered why his friend had so many ideas for something like this. 

"We've been dating for years, Al. Things like this we do often. And before Andi too I often do it with my ex-boyfriend."

Alina smiled as she shook her head. It turns out that this friend is really very experienced in the world of romance. It would not be wrong if she asked for a little trick or way to surprise her husband.
