"Mel, Han, how about we make a little surprise for Cecil?" Radit expressed his idea to Amel and Hana while talking at the cafe.
"What surprise? Is Cecil a birthday?" ask Amel while staying focused on his phone screen.
"It's not a surprise birthday, Mel. But just a little surprise, so that he doesn't grieve."
"Little is not sad, Dit. She's doing just fine. He's even better than when he was with Alvian."
"Yes Mas Radit. Cecil's mom is happier now." Hana chimed in.
Radit pouting. He wants to be angry. "Are you Cecilia's best friend or not? Why don't you know if Cecil is sad? Cecil never showed his true feelings, he always covered them up. Including now. He's sad, but he's trying to cover it up."
"Of course I'm his best friend. I know how Cecil feels. You alone? Who are you? How dare you talk to me!!" Amel was getting upset.
"Huh? Didn't Cecil ever tell you about me?"
Amel and Hana shook at the same time.
"For what did Cecil tell you? Who are you?"
Amel is now focusing on Radit. He starts to get upset because Radit is pretending to know everything.
"No need to look at me like that, Mel! I'm afraid! Look, I'll tell you. But you better not be surprised to hear that."
"Quick say! We won't be surprised!" challenge Amel to Radit.
"I'm Cecilia's ex-boyfriend."
Amel widened his eyes. Then laugh.
"What's so funny? Why are you laughing?"
"You're good at kidding, Dit. I think you're overstepping."
"I'm serious! I am Cecilia's ex-boyfriend. Why don't you believe me?"
"I don't believe you. How could Cecil fall in love with a man like you?!" amel's laughter broke again.
"Yes, Mas. I'm sorry I don't believe it, but it's hard to believe that Mas Radit was with Ms. Cecil. Too much hallucination" said Hana.
Radit's getting upset.
"I don't care about your thoughts. Obviously, I want to make a little surprise for Cecil. If you don't want to join, yes. I'm not forcing." Radit got up from his chair, and stepped away. Leaving behind Amel and Hana who were still laughing outstretched.
...***...
The day of surprise has finally arrived. Radit, Amel and Hana come together to conjure up Cecil's workspace to be decorated with cheerful shades. Don't forget they bought a tart, like a birthday party.
Because the event was held in the office, Radit and his friends needed the support of Rangga. Danny conveys a message from Amel to be conveyed to Rangga.
And it turns out that Rangga agreed to take part in a small surprise party for Cecilia.
Amel closed Cecilia's eyes. And lead him into his room. The office is empty, because the office hours are over.
"You didn't do anything weird, did you?" ask Cecil suspiciously.
"Just calm! I'm not doing anything you don't like."
And when he arrived in front of Cecil's room. Amel gave a warning to Hana and her friends.
"Surprise!!!!"
Cecil shut his mouth. I can't believe her friends would do this for her. Cecil's room was transformed into a full-color.
"This? Who made it?" Cecil asked Amel as he walked to his desk, which hung a balloon and many gold star decorations.
"We all work together to make it. So you're more excited about work. You likey?"
"Yes, I like it a lot. Thank you so much, Mel." Cecil hugged Amel.
The mood began to growl. Glasses clink in tandem. The whole room was full of laughter.
Radit approached Cecil.
"Cil, hopefully after today, you won't be sad anymore, and you'll always be happy. Don't forget, I'm by your side. You can lean on me."
Cecilia smiled. "Thank you, Dit. You've always been a good friend."
Danny turned on the music as it played in dance clubs. They dance and laugh. Cecil looked one by one at his friends who had prepared a small party for him.
"Sir Adam, the security that always greeted me every time I walked into the office. Rudi, the office boy who always makes me coffee. Danny, assistant bring up but always attentive. Hana, he always said politely. Amel, I am grateful to have you as my best friend. Radite... I was lucky to see you again. And... Mr. Rangga... I think I misjudged you. Thank God, because I have you." Cecilia smiled full of haru.

Dear Love,
I never knew you until I met my first love.
Feel that beat, though,
Feel that miss, though,
Makes me very happy.
Even now, I'm hurt because of you.
Dear Life,
I've known you since I was born into this world.
But I never knew you well,
Until I met them.
The people who taught me about you.
I'd appreciate that.
I promise
I will love you, my life...
