Chapter 59

Among the entire family who were happy to hear about Ariana's pregnancy, Arabella Walters was the most enthusiastic. So happy, the woman gave many gifts to her son-in-law and future grandson.

As the first grandson in the Walters family, of course, his presence was eagerly awaited. Even during the celebration of Ariana's seventh month of pregnancy, Arabella deliberately held a large-scale thanksgiving event which was attended by all her family, co-workers and business colleagues.

No doubt, Ariana at that time received a lot of congratulations. Not even a few of the invited guests gave him various gifts.

"Miss Arabella, do you know the gender of your future grandson?" asked one of the media partners when he met Arabella at Ariana's seven month party. They were also invited to cover this happy news.

A wide smile spread across the woman's lips. No one can deny how happy he is right now because he is waiting for his grandson to be born into the world.

"Actually the doctor already knows the sex of our future grandson, but because Samuel and Ariana deliberately asked to keep it a secret so that it would seem a surprise, inevitably my extended family and I have to be patient and wonder whether a girl or a boy will be born. But what do you want?" regardless of gender, there is not the slightest problem. The most important thing is that the mother and baby are safe and healthy."

"Then, is there a special plan to give gifts for the birth of the first grandson in the Walters family?" asked other media partners.

"Sure," Arabella said with a smile. "Even our father, Antonie Walters, has prepared special shares which will be given directly when this child is born. So, please just pray so that everything will go smoothly until the day comes."

"Last question, Mrs. Arabella. For the delivery process itself, will Mrs. Ariana go through it at a hospital in Jakarta or abroad? Like Singapore, for example. Considering that many of Walters's own extended family also live there."

Previously, Samuel had conveyed her wish to her mother to take Ariana to America so she could give birth there. However, because it was too far away, Arabella had asked her son to think again about realizing this plan.

"For this one, I don't know for sure. Whether in Indonesia, Singapore, or other countries. Wherever it is, I think it's the same. The most important thing is that my son-in-law and future grandchildren can get the best and maximum care."

Turning to Ariana who was busy receiving and welcoming guests, she was no less happy today. There were many friends, co-workers and some business associates who were there to offer their congratulations.

In fact, William Hadipraja from the Pakuwon Group also came all the way from Surabaya to personally address him.

"Congratulations Mba Ariana and Pak Samuel. I am also happy for the news of her pregnancy. I pray that the process of pregnancy and childbirth will go smoothly without any problems."

Ariana and Samuel smiled back kindly. Feeling really flattered because William, who is known to be busy, has taken the time to come all the way, in order to give them a direct speech.

"Thank you very much, Mr. William, for your presence and prayers. We both feel honored to have been visited like this," said Samuel.

"No problem Mr. Samuel. As a work partner whose performance I admit is TOP, of course it's not a difficult matter for me just to stop by here." Then William's gaze returned to Ariana. Throwing a satisfied smile, the middle-aged man asked Ariana to speak. "I also want to thank you very much because even though she is pregnant, Ms. Ariana remains focused and fully responsible for the work she is carrying out. This is the first time I have met someone who is so professional and consistently carries out her duties."

Ariana pulled the corners of her lips up high. Flattered by William's words.

"Because I have been given responsibility and even the opportunity to hold this big tender, I really have to be consistent in completing it. After all, this is my last tender, sir."

"Mom Ariana want to stop working?"

Ariana nodded. Reviewing the smile again, the woman gave an explanation so that William would not be curious.

"I think, after giving birth later, I want to focus on taking care of the baby first."

"After all, making money is also not a necessity or an obligation that my wife has to do," added Samuel. "So, after this, let Ariana focus on taking care of her husband and children. Let me work hard to find money to support them."

"It's amazing," said William. "I like the words of Mr. Samuel who is full of responsibility. That's how we should behave as men. Working hard, day and night, of course to make my wife and children happy at home. Since the decision is unanimous, it means that in the next project I will hand it over directly to Just Mr. Samuel. Considering that after the completion of this giant tender, I would like to propose further cooperation in another form."

Samuel was stunned and a few seconds later smiled gratefully. Since marrying Ariana, he feels so lucky. It seems that the fortune he gets is getting more and more after his wife's presence.

Even on that happy day, Ariana also had her best friend, Chacha. As usual, the woman came to Ariana's event to be picked up by Axton, Samuel's assistant.

"If I look around, your relationship with Pak Axton is getting stickier. There's no intention of taking that to a more serious level."

Chacha smiled. He raised his wrist, then showed it directly to Ariana.

"You don't see what the diamond ring is on my ring finger."

Ariana examined Chacha's left ring finger, which had a diamond encrusted ring on it. Staring questioningly, Ariana of course asked for more explanation from her best friend.

"What does this mean? Could it be, you and Pak Axton ----"

"Yeah," Chacha nodded. "He already proposed to me. Even met my parents last week."

"Seriously?"

Chacha nodded repeatedly.

"The two of us have even planned our wedding next month. Axton said he doesn't want to have to wait long. After all, what do you want to wait for? After all, the marriage capital is already there. You also have your own house and car. All that's left is gass."

"You are crazy!" clicked Ariana while pinching Chacha's cheek playfully. "But it's good if Pak Axton invites you to be serious right away. And it's also good for the event next month. I still have time to attend because I haven't given birth yet. What's certain, you have to make me the bridesmaid."

"Relax. You and Mr. Samuel will be special guests. Just wait for my invitation."

***

Randa could see how Samuel, who had left the meeting room, looked so grumpy, unlike usual. And now, when he is in his office, it has been counted more than three times that the man has massaged his forehead, which may feel painful.

I don't know what Samuel is feeling or experiencing. Out of curiosity, he then reprimanded, then confirmed for himself what really happened to his cousin.

"Ken, what are you doing? It's too late to carry it."

Samuel immediately glanced at Randa.

Exhaling a long breath, the man leaned his shoulder against the back of the chair for a moment, then answered.

"I swear, I'm really dizzy."

"Dizzy why?"

Randa was getting curious. Remembering that they had just attended an important meeting, it occurred to Randa that maybe this had made Samuel as grumpy as she is now.

"It's about Ariana's pregnancy."

Apparently Randa's guess was wrong. Thought there was a problem with work, it turns out that the cause of the cousin's boredom was none other than his wife who was pregnant.

"What's wrong with Ariana?"

For the second time Samuel took a deep breath until her shoulders lifted high. Massaging his forehead, the man told a chronology that caused him to have a headache.

"In the past, in the early days of pregnancy. I admit that Ariana never complained about anything. She never had nausea and vomiting. Didn't even ask for anything strange. Now? When she was seven months pregnant, I just felt something called pregnancy effect.

Rand didn't seem to understand. Frowning deeply, the man again questioned Samuel's story.

"What do you mean? Ariana why?"

"More days, his attitude is getting weirder, Ran."

"Yes, how strange is that?"

"One day, Ariana and I were sleeping soundly. He suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. He kept crying hysterically. I was shocked and worried. Do you know why he got hysterical?"

Randa was still giggling. But when you see the look of the man who is so depressed, he is also pity.

"Be patient, Ken. Her name is also pregnant. You say that when pregnant, the mother's mood changes."

"Well, yes!" said the man quickly. "Just by watching a movie, his mood can drop. The one I'm targeting again is me again. Luckily honey. If not? I've left him since yesterday."

"Ariana is also pregnant because of you, right? Well, take responsibility. Besides, it's only during this pregnancy, Ken. Tomorrow if Ariana wants something, just give it to her."

"If it makes sense, I'll grant it. But if it's weird, why should I listen to it. You never know, right? The thing about watching Korean dramas, she wants to have a husband who looks like in the movies. It's so rebellious that the baby in Ariana's womb asked her father replaced by Korean uncles. Besides, from them, I'm still handsome everywhere, Ran."

Randy just kept holding his stomach. The man's eyes watered listening to the complaints that Samuel was conveying. Maybe this includes the joys and sorrows of facing a pregnant wife.

"Be patient, Ken. I'll be giving birth soon. Who knows, in the next month, Ariana won't be so weird anymore."

"Hopefully, Ran. I'll go crazy if I crave it to the point of asking for a change of husband of all kinds."

When Randa left, a few minutes later it was Ariana's turn to enter Samuel's office. In a hurry, the woman immediately approached her husband who seemed to be sitting on the sofa. Sitting side by side, without excuse me, without saying anything, immediately pulled Samuel's face, suddenly planted a kiss on her husband's lips.

Samuel was stunned. In a state of unpreparedness, took it for granted when Ariana crushed her lips. Biting with full prosecution and a little haste. As soon as there was a gap, Samuel pulled her face, intending to break their kiss for a moment.

"Honey you why?" Samuel asked confused.

"I want to kiss you, please. Ask," the woman snapped as if she didn't want to when the kiss was just stopped.

"Yes. But why suddenly like this?" surprised Samuel. "The door to my room hasn't even been locked. What if someone comes in suddenly?"

"Yeah, let's go," the woman replied casually.

Samuel chuckled. Reluctant, the man got up and locked the door first. Only then returned to sit beside his wife.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Do you want to kiss me with an excuse first?"

"But that's weird."

"So, if kissing you is a strange thing? Alright, after this I'm not going to kiss you again."

"Uh, no, no," Samuel called out. Exasperated, this time it was his turn to grab Ariana's nape. Bring your face forward then land a kiss with full tenderness. Kissing his wife's upper and lower lips alternately.

Closing her eyes, Ariana imperceptibly drifted into the kiss that Samuel gave. Opened his mouth slightly. Giving access to the husband to continue crushing, even exploring his oral cavity.

After feeling enough with what she received, Ariana slowly broke the kiss between herself and Samuel. Before really moving, he hugged his husband first for a few moments, then let go.

"Already?" asked Samuel. His face was still confused up to this second.

"Sure," Ariana nodded casually.

"You're just weird."

"I'm not weird, okay! This is what your child wants. Not me."

Samuel laughed. Ariana always does. Definitely making their baby-to-be a reason to want something.

"Ah, just say you want to. If you want to be intimate, it's better to just go home. Don't be here either, honey."

"Okay, come on!"

Samuel rolled her eyes. Who would have thought that his wife even seriously agreed to what he said.

"You really want it?"

"Not really. But if you want, then come on. I'm ready for it."

Then a moment later she took out her cell phone. Intend to show something, but ask permission first.

"But before that, can I ask you something or not?"

Samuel sighed. He had anticipated that Ariana would ask something strange of him.

"What do you want, honey? Just don't ask me to swim with sharks like the other day."

Ariana laughed. Opened the gallery, then showed something to the husband.

"I want this popcorn. Please buy it. This is Singapore Garrett popcorn. It's up to you to send your cousin or who is there to send it to me, please."

Samuel could see how his wife was pleading. If that's the case, how could he bear to see it?

"You really want?"

Ariana at that moment also nodded. If he doesn't want it, how could he whine and ask to buy it immediately.

"I really want it, honey. That's why I bought it. It's not expensive. It won't make you poor immediately."

"Yeah," said Samuel. Then the man got up from sitting. As if getting ready to leave.

"Well, what's up? Then where are you going."

"Yes let's buy."

"Where to buy? Where is it here, Samuel."

"Buy direct to Singapore, Ariana."

"It means?" Ariana's face looked confused. He really didn't understand what his husband was saying.

"We're going to Singapore right now."

"Now?"

"Next year, honey. Yes, now. So let's get up. I'll take you directly to the place to buy it. Besides, Jakarta, Singapore, is only two hours by plane."

Seeing Samuel who was so serious, Ariana was immediately overjoyed. Without thinking much more, he immediately took his husband to get out of the room. Can't wait to go buy the food he wants right now.
