Well, the question you're asking is not 100% clear. I'm guessing English is not your first language. That said 意外(いがい) is an adjective which means unexpected, surprising. However I've never heard this word used in conversation. Depending on the context, the Japanese way of saying what you want will be different. If you want to express surprise, the most common phrase is 「びっくりしました」 or 「びっくりした」 or just plain 「びっくり!」.

Hope this helps.
