The Story Behind the Curtain
Surprise For Erli


Erli was still struggling with her husband's clothes, even though there was a maid she did not want to throw all her obligations. He will do a task that would not make him very tired, for example, now he is ironing Rafan's work clothes and preparing two sets of clothes for Rafan to wear tomorrow.


"Mbak .. in front there is a courier nyariin Mbak," cried Rania from the living room.


"See me a minute, deck!" sahut Erli while pulling the ironing cable.


Erli hung two shirts and walked towards the main door and there were two couriers standing waiting for him.


"Mrs Erli?" ask one of the couriers who was carrying a bouquet of Carnations.


Erli nodded with a faint smile. The courier immediately gave a letter of receipt that must be signed by Rafan's wife. After signature, the courier handed a bouquet of Carnations to Erli.


"Oh Allah is beautiful" said Erli with a big smile looking at the Carnation flower in hand.


"His mommy's getting me too?" erli asked as he threw a faint smile


"Yes, Madam. We from Baby shop love deliver various orders for Madam," said the courier while showing his partner carrying several cartons containing baby equipment.


"Well, how many, my dear?" The net is staring one by one cartoons from the medium to the largest.


"Our job is just to deliver," replied the courier carrying a large book in his hand.


Erly was very surprised to see so many items coming today, her eyebrows woken up when she saw the name of the sender in the large package located in front of her 'Children's father'.


Why didn't Mas Rafan tell me about this? Dedek's birth is still two months away, is it okay to buy equipment first? erli murmured in his heart.


"We'll excuse you, ma'am" she said, nodding slowly.


"Thank you!" erli said with a smile.


Still shocked by the package that came Erli was surprised by the aunt.


"Woah ... How much are you, Er?" said loudly.


"Not Erli who bought it, Tan," said Erli gasp.


The goddess scrunched her forehead, she did not believe the words of her nephew's daughter-in-law.


"yes, sampeyan ora tuku? Banjur sapa's? aren't you the one who bought it? Who then?" The goddess stared curiously at her nephew's ghost.


Not yet Erli replied, Zulaika came to snatch the words of the Goddess who sounded insinuating.


"Don't like lying! What a pity my son, the money is being wasted like this!" sneer Zulaika with a murderous glare.


Zulaika's gaze was very intimidating to Erli. His coat does not know at all about the package and if calculated-calculate these groceries reach tens of millions because baby shop love is a baby supply store that is very famous for its quality.


"Where might he know Ma'am, look at the name of the sender! Father of children," said Dewi while biting an apple.


"That can be set, Wi!" ketus Zulaika does not want to lose, "tomorrow if your adopted child is married, be careful if you give money to his wife!" timpal Zulaika's.


Zulaika's words this afternoon added to the incision made this morning. The goddess heard the words of her sister-in-law just kept silent for a moment and looked at Erli from toe to toe.


"You ordered yourself, huh? It's nothing 'that's your right to spend your husband's money, '" said Dewi leaving Erli in front of the house.


Unknowingly Erli tears just like that from his eyes, since the morning his mother-in-law had offended him.


What's wrong with mom? His attitude and behavior were very different after disappearing leaving me at the clinic, Erli asked inwardly.


As fast as lightning Erli rubbed his two wet cheeks.


"Woah .. The stone is so beautiful Ma'am." Rania inhales the fragrant flowers of Carnations, "uh, the romantic Mas Rafan. May Rania have a rich husband Mas," she said excitedly.


"Amale ...." Erli stroked his sister-in-law's head affectionately.


Mbok Sami and Rania brought all the packages into the room and placed close to the dressing table. Partly placed in the dressing room, once finished Mbok Sami and Rania left Erli sitting on the edge of the mattress.


The gaze of the pregnant woman was still focused towards the large carton, whether any items that were inside there were clear the arrival of all these items added to Zulaika's dislike of him. Erli's daydreams were caving when his phone rang, Erli shifted to reach his phone which was on the nightstand beside his bed.


Erli's forehead shriveled to see a number he didn't recognize calling. Once, twice and a third time the number kept calling and finally Erli picked up the phone call, which was out of nowhere.


"Hello, good afternoon. Could talk to Miss Erliana." The voice across the phone.


..."Yes, I'm alone." Erli's eyebrows linked to getting a call from a woman....


"We from Hermes Senayan City informed him that the Madam order was ready for delivery" the woman said on the phone.


..."I never order branded bags. Maybe he called people wrong," he said....


"But here is the name and address of the Madam," he said kekeh.


^^^"I really didn't order anything, sister. Try to double-check the name and address!" erli said firmly.^^^


"Well, we will reconfirm the name and address we received" he said softly.


Erli terminated the phone call. "After this, what are the surprises? I'd better call Mas Rafan, so he stops everything he doesn't need to do."


Erli's finger shifted all the contact names until she found her husband's name and when she called, Rafan went inside with his tired face. Her husband's netra was fixed onto so many piles of cardboard.


"Tumben, we're home at this hour?" erli asked astonished while turning off his phone.


"I'm tired" replied Rafan flatly.


"Mas Savings, a lot huh?" Erli asked again.


Sontak Rafan turned his head and looked at his wife's face, confused Rafan asked a question.


"What do you mean?"


Erli raised both eyebrows showing a pile of items and a bouquet of Carnations on the dressing table.


"What?" rafan was confused.


"I don't like it, Mas's wasting gini-rich money!" protest Erli while patting one of the Cartons.


"Preferably money Mas make business capital. I can buy it myself without buying it like this! after all, the grandpa is still a long time born," said Erli at length.


"Whatchu mean? Don't spin!" his hissing while throwing the briefcase in any direction.


Erli frowned at the husband's words and he picked up a bouquet of flowers showing the greeting cards arranged in the bouquet.


"It's well," he said, pushing a small carton located at the top of the pile .


Rafan stared intently at the greeting card and his brows sailed, he stared at Erli's face and the flower in turn.
