Suddenly a Young Wife
Birthday surprise for Orion (part 1)

The sky was still bright when Orion arrived at the cafe courtyard near the Ariana school. Apparently he had advanced his schedule to meet Rachel at the cafe. With steady steps he began to enter the cafe which began to be quiet because it was past lunch hour. There were only a few customers who seemed to be sitting eating in the corner of the room.

Rachel was seen several times tidying up her clothes and hijab. He was already sitting in wait at the cafe. He ceaselessly trained a smile as sweet as possible while patting his own cheeks. Feeling nervous and happy because Orion finally wants to fulfill his invitation. I don't know what was on the girl's mind. Until he no longer cares how Ariana feels if he knows his behavior now. Trying to turn his own friend.

Orion walked to the table where Rachel was there. Rachel tried to smile at him. But he doesn't seem to care. His face is so flat. Making Rachel's guts that were once big is now shrinking back. Orion's cold gaze made Rachel have a bad premonition. He thought Orion wanted to see him because he also had an interest in him. But seeing Orion who looks unfriendly. Makes Rachel bite her own lower lip. Feel hesitant. As if afraid to hear something painful from the handsome man who was now sitting right in front of him. With a look and expression that has not changed. Flat and cold.

"I'm glad Orion's brother is finally coming. Oh..iya.kak not want to order a drink what ? let me call the waiter !" Rachel spoke in a voice as sweet as possible. Trying to get rid of the bad feeling that had plagued him earlier. I hope everything will be okay. It was good luck for him today. Because yesterday-yesterday Orion had ignored his message and invitation.

"Anything.whatever!" Orion said in a normal tone. It was obvious he was trying to restrain himself. Not wanting to be too hard on the girl in front of him on the first impression.

"alright..I'll order it like my favorite drink!" Rachel was excited. After that he immediately waved his hand at the waiter and started ordering the drink he wanted.

It seems like it was just my hunch. Even now Brother Orion wants me to order the same drink as me. Rachel smiled happily inwardly.

"Sister Orion likes what food the most?" It seems Rachel's confidence has returned. Cheerfully he started the conversation." I like European food the most." Reciprocity. To tell without asking. Haha.kok pathetic huh.

Orion smiled faintly." I love the food my wife makes. Whatever food I like the origin that makes it is my wife."

Glacial !! Rachel swallowed her saliva with great difficulty. Suddenly the heat began to crawl into his chest.

Along with that. Their drink orders are coming. The waiter immediately placed two drinks on the table. Then it immediately passed after saying a word please to the two of them.

Rachel immediately sipped the drink that was in front of her. Trying to get rid of his anxiety. Her ears, also her heart really felt hot right now.

Orion just watched with a flat look. Hoping Rachel would give up on her own without her having to put out hurtful sarcastic words.

I want to know. To what extent you will hold. I hope you'll give up soon.

But not expected. The girl who is now also hijab can still put on a sweet smile. As if to show that he was not at all disturbed by Orion's words. Even he tried to deny all his heart that clearly said that his actions were wrong.

Just look at Brother Orion. I'm not gonna give up this easily.

"I can cook too. Sis Orion will taste my cooking too!" Put on a carefree face. But actually his hand was already trembling under the table.

What..! So he didn't want to give up either.

"But I definitely wouldn't like it if the one who cooked for me was someone else. Surely the most delicious is my wife's cooking."

This time give up. Because I don't want to say more hurtful words to wake you up. Orion.

'She's kidding. What did he say just now. The best is his wife's cooking. It's crazy huh. Rachels.

Rachel could only smile wryly now. "Did Orion really love Ariana?" Apparently Rachel was getting tired of making small talk.

"Hemm.of course. Because my head is always filled with his name. Not just in my head. But in my heart it was already crowded with her. I've never left a place in my heart for anyone other than her." Orion replied firmly. As if you can guess the direction of Rachel's real question just through reading from the look in her eyes. The girl also seemed to be saying. Is there still a chance of him being with Orion.

"Oh.so so!" Rachel said as she tapped the table with her finger. His face was both disappointed and embarrassed. For example, he could say with confidence that in the end the answer would only hurt his own heart.

This is impossible. Surely he said all that because of fear in the cap guy play boy. Not because I really love Ariana.

Rachel still decided not to give up. "So I know how I feel about my sister. I want to be second. We can get in a relationship behind Ariana. That doesn't matter to me. Just so I can be with Brother Orion."

Orion's eyes were wide in disbelief. Has he gone mad. It's not clear what I said.

"Rachel.why do you have to act so stubbornly like this. Didn't I say that. In my heart and mind there is only Ariana. And forever it will stay that way. Even though Ariana ran to the Mars planet or to the end of the world though. I'll keep chasing him. Because he's all I ever wanted in my life. There's nothing else. So please understand. Don't make me look mean in front of you." He began to stand up from his seat. Prepare to leave the place.

Orion approached Rachel. Handing over the handkerchief he took from his pants pocket. "Take this. And wipe away your tears. I really hope you'll find someone better than me. Which can make you smile. You're so young Rachel. Don't waste your time thinking about love." Continue to act as a sok advising.

Rachel grabs a handkerchief from Orion's hand. "Thank you." He said softly as he began to wipe his tears that had seemed to fall.

"And one more. I hope you can also be a good friend to Ariana." Orion's words were as a condition of meaning. Make Rachel's body and heart shake. As if he was awakening from his own mistake.

Ah..Arianna. Ii'm Sorry. I'm hilaf..I'm Sorry!

*******

In-house. Ariana seemed to be waiting for Orion's arrival uneasily. He sat at the dinner table with dinner ready. This dinner was made special by Ariana. Because it just so happens that today is Orion's birthday.

Aska and Haikal had also appeared there from there. The two of them had only come within minutes of Orion's departure this afternoon.

Aska and Haikal came with tard cakes and various snacks. They also had time to decorate the house Orion and Ariana with perfunctory decorations.

Today they plan to prepare a surprise birthday for Orion. Although Ariana's feelings for Orion are uncertain. But she continued to prepare a surprise for her husband with pleasure. As much as possible he should be able to cover his enthusiasm in front of his brothers-in-law.

But it seems Ariana could not hide her sad face any longer than Aska.

"Sister-in-law what's wrong? Is there a problem?" Aska approached Ariana who was sitting pensively at the dining table. While Haikal is still busy blowing balloons to hang as decorations.

Ariana nodded slowly. "No..There's nothing." He said while putting on a cheerful smile.

"Come brother. Don't lie. I know that Brother is lying. Just tell me your problem. Are we not now a family? Think of me as your own sister." Aska always looked more mature than her age. For children his age, by looking at how to solve problems as they already have. It really deserves a thumbs up.

Ariana finally gave up. He could no longer bear to not cry. Her feelings are really sensitive right now. Words that touch a little. Can immediately break his heart.

"Hey.why even cry. Sorry if I misspoke." Said Aska while holding the cheek of her brother-in-law with both hands. Her face was so sad that she could see it clearly.

Slowly Aska wiped the tears that had soaked Ariana's cheek with her index finger.

"O.rion..!" Ariana's voice stammered in between her sobs.

"What's wrong with Orion? Did he hurt Sister-in-law?"

Ah..Brother, what you've done to Brother-in-law. Why did Brother make Sister-in-law cry. Has he forgotten his promise to me not to hurt my brother-in-law. Then what is this ? Do I need to take Brother-in-law back from you. Big Brother sucked.

Ariana still could not answer. It was still so late in his sadness that he imagined Orion was going to meet Rachel. I don't know what they're doing out there. Ariana was no longer strong to imagine it. And don't know how and where to start telling Aska everything.

"Calm down, brother. All problems have a way out." Aska pulled a bench to sit closer to Ariana's side.Then thrust her shoulder."Cry as much as you can on my shoulders, brother. Just do it if crying it makes you much more relieved."

Without cue. Ariana had already appeared to immerse her face on Aska's shoulders. Aska could only stare at Ariana in silence. Actually he was eager to hug the girl and stroke her hair to calm her down. But he is aware of the limits. And if I can be honest. Until now. He still has feelings for the girl who has now been in status as his sister-in-law.

I don't know since when Orion started to enter the house and watch the scene. The view between his wife and sister that looks friendly when viewed from behind.

Orion clenched his hands furiously.

'Learnest. How dare they both be like this behind me.

SERIATE...
