Come And Hug Me

Chapter 150 – Family Traditions

A few moments later.

"Now that's done… Gosh, you're so beautiful in this outfit". Jennifer said while praising Syenina because it was the first time she saw Syenina wearing her family's traditional clothes. 

Hearing the compliment, Syenina smiled happily while looking in the mirror, she couldn't believe it was her in the mirror.

"Is it me?".

Jennifer nodded as she answered, "Yes, you are beautiful and cute". 

Hearing the answer, Syenina immediately smiled happily looking at the mirror.

After everything is done and Jennifer is ready with her makeup. She rushed out with Syenina to the living room.

When Jennifer and Syenina came out, everyone was amazed to see the two beautiful girls.

Jennifer invited Syenina to sit near her mother and sister-in-law, while her brother and father sat next to her mother.

Jennifer looked cheerful, she was chatting with a smile with her sister-in-law and Syenina, but across her seat and Syenina were eyes that never stopped staring at the two of them stealthily.

"Brother, which girl is with Jennifer?". Asked Roli, the younger brother of Angga.

Angga whispered to Roli while stealing glances with Jennifer as well. "Mmm, I don't know either!"

Roli looked sullen to hear Angga's answer, even so his gaze never left Syenina's face the same as his brother whose gaze never left Jennifer.

Syenina is still 17 years old, but her tall and slightly bulky body makes her look more mature than her age.

Syenina, who is active, fussy, likes to make trouble and is cranky, now looks different, her beautiful face shines, and of course there are certain people who are even more curious when they see Syenina's appearance.

"That girl's face looks familiar, who is she? Why do I feel strange seeing her?". Andrew thought.

Mr. Andrew kept mumbling and wondering in his heart, obviously not foreign to him because Syenina's face resembled her mother.

Not long after, the event started, and all the guests seemed to enjoy the process of the event, as well as Jennifer who was so solemn, she hoped in her heart that all of Charles' plans would go smoothly.

"Jennifer's family tradition is very complicated. No wonder she can't stand her family." Syenina thought.

A few moments later the event was finally over, all guests were welcome to enjoy the food that had been prepared.

After finishing eating, all the guests except the nuclear family of Angga and Jennifer said goodbye to go home.

While Syenina returned to Jennifer's room with the excuse of a stomach ache, Jennifer understood and immediately took Syenina to her room.

Jennifer's family and Angga gathered in the living room talking about wedding preparations, and the invitations that were ready to be distributed tomorrow, while Jennifer was bored and couldn't wait for Charles' surprise.

Just as the two families were chatting, suddenly a beautiful woman appeared with a daughter who was about two years old, and the child's face was very similar to Angga's.

Seeing the arrival of the mother and child, everyone became confused and wondered, but not with Angga whose expression was very bad and his body trembled slightly.

"Sorry, who are you looking for?" Asked Jennifer's mother who had just approached the woman.

"I am Rosalin and this is my daughter, Agatha". Rosalin introduced herself and the child in her arms.

Hearing the child's name, everyone was surprised and wondered, while Angga was still silent and in a cold sweat because the child knew him very well. 

"Who do you want to find?" asked Mr. Andrew who felt something was wrong with Rosalin's arrival.

"Father…!". Agatha's eyes widened when she saw Angga who was sitting quietly, bowing his head.

Convinced that it was her father, Agatha slumped from her mother's arms and ran, calling Angga.

Angga could not turn his face away from Agatha because he loved her so much. However, he was confused by Rosalin's presence even though they had agreed to keep Agatha a secret because they both loved other people even though Angga still wanted to give Agatha status but Rosalin refused.

Hearing Agatha calling Angga as father both Jennifer's family and Angga's family were astonished. 

Mr. Andrew was furious, he stood up while looking cynically at Angga, "Angga … Explain to us who this woman and child are!".

Jennifer's expression became complicated as did her mother, while Rosalin was still standing looking at the family she didn't know at all, if it weren't for Charles, she wouldn't have done it, love had made Rosalin a blind and stupid woman even though she knew very well that Charles wasn't used to like it but she did it anyway.

"Agatha is the biological daughter of Angga, I came here because I didn't find him at his house and I was given the address of this house. My daughter really misses her father, have I disturbed you? Then I apologize'".

Suddenly Rosalin represented Angga to explain the identity of her daughter, because Angga was still silent while holding Agatha's hand.

"Angga, wake up and quickly explain all this!". Said Angga's father, who was quite embarrassed at Mr. Andrew, he was furious and looked cynically at Angga.

Angga looked sarcastically at Rosalin and said, "He was my girlfriend in Germany, we have children but we broke up a year ago".

Hearing Angga's confession, Mr. Andrew's expression darkened, he did not expect that the prospective son-in-law he was proud of had lied to him, he did not want his daughter to marry a man who already had children out of wedlock.

"I think you have to solve your family problems at home, so I invite you to go home first!". Mr. Andrew said politely to Angga's father, after that he sat back while turning his face away from the Angga family.

Jennifer guessed that this was a surprise that Charles said, but she was still confused so she felt compelled to confirm it. Therefore she wanted to immediately ask Charles but Syenina was in her room so she put it off for a while and enjoyed the surprise if this was what Charles meant.

"Uncle, we are going home. But, please don't cancel my wedding! Because I will still marry Jennifer!". Said Angga while pleading with Mr. Andrew with a pitiful look.

Jennifer, who had been silent for a while, opened her voice for fear that her father would be provoked.

"Sorry Angga! It seems Rosalin is more suitable for you to marry for Agatha's sake". Jennifer said while smiling at Agatha.

Rosalin was annoyed at Jennifer who was none other than the woman Charles loved.

"But I love you, and for Agata I beg you to accept her as our daughter!". Angga really hopes that Jennifer still wants to marry him.

"This marriage is cancelled!". Jennifer's mother, who could not stand hearing Angga's words, opened her voice loudly and had a bad expression.

Hearing the words of Jennifer's mother, Angga and his family were shocked. Even though they really feel lucky to be together with Andrew's family, but only because of Angga's mistake all their dreams were shattered and it made Angga's parents angry and embarrassed.

"Can't we talk more?" Asked Angga's mother with a bit of humility and a gentle tone.

Jennifer's mother turned her face to hear Angga's mother's question.

"Sorry, I'm not willing to see my daughter married to a man who already has children. I also wouldn't be ready to hear her being called a stepmother!". Jennifer's mother answered in a sad tone.

Hearing a conversation that was so boring, suddenly Rosalin walked towards Angga and took Agatha from Angga's lap.

Without saying anything Rosalin left Jennifer's house just like that, to be honest she didn't come to claim responsibility. She was only doing things for the sake of the deal she made with Charles. 

And to be honest she felt disgusted to hear Angga begging to stay married to Jennifer.

Realizing Rosalin's departure, Angga became furious and didn't accept it, the girl had come to mess up her wedding plans, now she goes with her child.

Immediately Angga ran out to chase Rosalin, while his family was confused. Because of the behavior of Angga who suddenly left just like that. His extended family was forced to be embarrassed twice and they again apologized for their son's mistake, soon after they followed Angga away from Jennifer's house.

After Angga's family left, in the spacious and luxurious living room, Mr.. Andrew and his wife were silent.
