Come And Hug Me

Chapter 122 – Surprise

"That's why you don't talk carelessly! Michael and Sophia are my favorite couple, but if you want to report me to Charles it's even better because the one you killed wasn't me. Hahaha…".

Jennifer actually found it funny when she said that. Meanwhile, Larry was starting to feel weird.

"You cruel sister-in-law! I will oppose your marriage to Charles!".

"Then we'll just elope, Hahahaha…" Jennifer answered so nonchalantly that Larry gave her a weird grin.

"My brother really made the wrong choice! I should have just let him marry a penguin, Hahaha…". Larry said while laughing loudly.

Hearing Larry's words, Jennifer laughed even harder, so that the crying Sophia was annoyed.

"What are you two laughing at? I'm still sad thinking about my husband but you guys don't care at all. You both have the heart!". Sophia said sarcastically. 

"You just enjoy the feeling! Aren't you the one who throws a tantrum?". Larry said not showing any concern because he knew Michael would be fine. 

Sophia felt that Larry and Jennifer were being toyed with, so she pouted and cried even harder.

A few moments later.

From outside, Michael hurriedly got out of the car and parked carelessly. Michael panicked, even more, when he heard the sound of Sophia's crying.

Instantly Michael ran into the house and found Sophia curled up on the sofa with a loud cry.

"The first male lead has arrived!" Jennifer whispered to Larry as she saw Michael coming.

Larry smiled and sat quietly like he was watching a romantic movie in the cinema with Jennifer. 

Michael knelt in front of Sophia, he then withdrew her hands.

With tears in his eyes, Michael looked at Sophia's eyes which were wet with tears.

"Honey, what are you doing? Please don't leave me! If I'm wrong please forgive me! I can't live without you by my side, now tell me what did I do wrong?".

Sophia looked gently at Michael, she knew what she was going to say.

She just wanted to surprise Michael, but Michael's reaction was beyond her expectation.

Seeing that Sophia was silent, Michael became more and more uneasy, at that moment Michael felt heartbroken to see Sophia's tears so he immediately wiped the tears on her cheeks.

"Honey, tell me what kind of mistake I do to make you cry like this?". Michael asked again anxiously.

Seeing Michael's expression, Sophia was getting more and more impatient, she smiled and without answering Michael's question, Sophia immediately bent down to hug Michael who was in front of her.

Michael is confused by Sophia's actions so he feels his wife is starting to get weird.

"Didn't Sophia threaten to leave, and now she's hugging me instead". Michael thought.

Larry was completely fed up with Sophia and Michael's display of affection.

"The movie's over, so let's start the show, poor kids inside!". Larry said as he glanced at Jennifer.

Immediately Jennifer nodded and followed Larry to a room not far from the living room.

A moment later, Michael let go of Sophia's embrace.

"Is it because I kept a big secret from you that you are angry?". Asked Michael.

Sophia was shocked and curious.

"What kind of big secret?"

Michael got on the sofa and sat next to Sophia, he then squeezed her hands and slowly and softly said, "Honey, I'm sorry for hiding this from you!". 

Hearing Michael's words, Sophia's heart pounded so hard that she started to think badly. 

"Oh my God.. Does my husband have another woman? But that's impossible, so what is he hiding?". Inner Sophia.

"What do you mean?". Asked Sophia in surprise. 

Michael stared intently at Sophia's face while taking a deep breath.

"Honey, actually our child is still alive!". Michael said.

Sophia was shocked and astonished, at that moment her heartbeat even faster because what she heard was like a dream come true.

"That's not possible".

Michael hugged the crying Sophia.

While rubbing her back, Michael said, "I investigated everything, and the fact that he is still alive and somewhere, I've been trying to find him but I can't find him yet!".

Listening to Michael's explanation, her cries broke and grew louder. After that, she hugged Michael tighter because she was really heartbroken if her son was really alive, but she didn't know where he was, was his life difficult or not?

"Happy birthday! … Happy birthday! … Long live … !".

Suddenly the sound of clapping and singing happy birthday was heard until Sophia and Michael immediately released their arms and turned towards the source of the sound.

Instantly, Michael was surprised to see several small children standing with Jennifer and Larry carrying a birthday cake.

"Honey, this…".

Sophia nodded and looked gently at Michael.

"Happy birthday, dear! Because you and our child were born on the same day and month, I also celebrate it at the same time. I hope you are always healthy and responsible for our family, and I really hope that if we can reunite with our child ..". Say Sophia sincerely!.

Everyone in the room agreed to Sophia's prayers, they were also touched by Sophia's sadness, as well as the orphanage caretaker who knew the sad story of losing a child when she was young. But, she did not expect that the child who was considered dead was still alive.

Michael didn't know whether to cry or laugh, he didn't expect Sophia to give him such a simple yet beautiful surprise. Even though he almost forgot his birthday because while he was away from Sophia he never celebrated a birthday even though his parents asked him.

"I'm also sorry because I made you panic earlier, actually I just wanted to surprise you to make it more fun. But, Larry scared me so I cried profusely ..". Sophia said again with a guilty expression.

"Why am I the one to blame?" Asked Larry in surprise. 

Meanwhile, Jennifer just smiled when she saw Larry protesting because she was the only one who was blamed by Sophia, even though it was the two of them.

Michael glanced at Larry sarcastically, instantly Larry fell silent and looked down. 

"It's okay, honey! And thank you for the surprise! Thank you also to all of you, who have come all the way here!". Michael said after he finished staring at Larry.

"It's okay Mr. Michael! In fact, we are happy to be able to make other people smile, especially Mrs. Sophia who has contributed a lot to our orphanage". The orphanage keeper said with a smile.

Michael also smiled at her because he knew that everything she said was sincere. 

"Happy birthday! Gifts will follow.. Hehehe..". Larry did not forget to also congratulate his brother even though it was for the first time in 8 years.

"I'll just say yes to Sophia's prayers! Because I didn't know that your son was still alive, I hope he's found soon!". 

Michael looked at everyone saying, "Thank you, everyone, for your prayers! I am so grateful to be surrounded by smart and kind children!".

Everyone clapped again after hearing Michael's sincere words.

"Then let's cut the cake!" Larry said to everyone in the room.

They all nodded immediately and impatiently.

After eating a piece of cake from Michael's hand, Sophia immediately took Michael into his room.

Before that, Sophia asked Larry and Jennifer to accompany their guests.

In the spacious room, Sophia and Michael sat on the edge of the bed.

"Actually I have one more surprise for you, although the gift you gave makes my heart sad but thinking about the surprise I will give you makes me excited again!". Sophia said while holding Michael's hand.

"What kind of surprise is that, honey?" 

Sophia smiled as she looked deep into Michael's eyes.

After that, she gently kissed all parts of Michael's face without exception.

After finishing the kiss, Sophia looked back at Michael who was smiling at him.

With a bright gaze, Sophia said, "My surprise was,…".

Sophia was silent for a moment while smiling at Michael, and it made Michael excited and impatient.

"Honey, come on say it! Don't make me curious!". Michael was really curious when he saw his wife's bright face and sweet smile. He is sure that the surprise that Sophia will give is very beautiful. 

Sophia deliberately made Michael curious first so that what she was about to convey was more exciting and impressed extraordinary because something that was about to be said was more beautiful than Michael could imagine.
