Athena
Opa's Birthday

After her lunch, Athena rushed home.

"Don't stop by first?" asked Athena when Raga's car was parked in front of her house.

"No, sorry. You must be family time first" replied Raga.

Athena nodded.

Raga kissed Athena on the forehead before the girl opened the car door.

"Be careful on the road" said Athena.

"See you later" Raga honks her car's horn before leaving Athens.

Athena enters her house with a kebaya still attached to her body.

"Our princess is home" greeted Arion, who was lying on the carpet in the living room.

"It's very difficult" said Athena. He rushed to his room to clean up and change his clothes.

"Where is this going?" tanya Athena who just joined Alda and Ivana.

"The AR HOTEL. Mama has it all ready" replied Ivana.

Alda nodded, confirming Ivana's words.

"Opa does Oma know?" ask Athena.

Both are shaking compactly.

"Papa did not think of anything else because it was a pleasure to see his grandson standing on the podium while embracing his shoulder" Alda teased.

"Mommy what the hell?" Athena covered her face in embarrassment.

"Is this a plan?" ask Ivana.

Athena shook her head and nodded.

"Actually yesterday afternoon we got information from the campus to prepare a short speech as the best graduate, continued The ready deh. Fitting late night alarm The sound, uh Opa birthday turns out. Well, given a surprise in this way only." Athena's story.

"So cool" said Ivana.

"It could be my mom"

"Mommy's children are getting bigger now, just don't ask for sangu anymore for sure" Alda said.

Athena grinned.

"But if mommy still wants to give is also okay" he said while blinking funny eyes.

Alda pinched both cheeks of his son.

"So sweet you guys" said Ivana when she saw the sight of mother and child in front of her. Ivana was so impressed with both. Alda was very fond of Athena even though the girl was not his biological child. And the treatment of Athena who was so respectful to Alda even though Alda was not her biological mother. Athena also never again talked about her real mama in front of them, the boy knew enough that his real mama was dead.

"MOOOM, brother Arion nih" cried Ayra from the park.

"ARIOOOOOON" Ivana scolds while shouting.

Arion is the enemy of Ayra. Arion always pranks the little boy, and what happens most often is that Arion tickles Ayra until the boy cries.

✨✨✨

Night greet the inhabitants of the universe. All family members are on their way to the AR HOTEL.

"Where to go directly to C?" mika asked Athena.

"Front week, pa." replied Athena.

"Ayra is going with her sister?" ask Aina.

"Follow, Oma" Ayra replied.

"Well, Renal's house must be deserted" said Mika.

"Don't let you guys. Children well that, have their own way, do not be held while the goal is good. Papa was off Alda to RelFath, live in C, well what else, that's his choice. So parents are not easy. Papa used to think just bigin doang, dear, ehh pas already big more difficult to take it off." Lathief lecture.

Mika and Renal nodded in understanding.

"Yes, pa" said the two together.

The black limousine they were riding in was beautifully parked in front of the hotel lobby. Athena holding Ayra's small hand entered the hotel, they headed to the hotel's rooftoop, where Athens had a surprise.

A long table is seen in the middle of the rooftoop, with several seats on its side. There was a lot of food served on that long table.

The people entered first except Mika and Alda. The two brothers took the cake first for the father.

"What is this dinner for?" ask Lathief.

"And my granddaughter graduated" replied Ivana.

The violin accompanies Alda and Mika, who each carry a cake in their hands. Lathief chuckled at the sight of his two children walking towards him. A candle number 63 stuck on the cake again reminded him that time continues to run.

Lathief blew out the candles on the two cakes in turn.

"Father, thank you for being such a great father to Alda and my sister and my two daughters-in-law, being the most loyal husband to my mom and the most reliable opa for her grandchildren. Papa, this means nothing compared to what you have done and given us. This celebration is just our effort to make you feel happy in old age like now, which will be a memory for papa in the future and most importantly so that papa is more excited to live the old age of papa and pray for his age extended, he said, trying to be healthy continues to see the process of all of us to form a smile on your face" said Alda.

Lathief hugged his daughter, who never let her down. He really feels like the luckiest man given this warm family. He also asked Mika to go into his arms. These two children are the care of a universe that has found its way.

"Thank you papa's children" Lathief said. He then kissed Mika and Alda.

"YEAAAAAAAYYYY, happy birthday opa" cried his five grandchildren compact.

Lathief chuckles. He did not forget to embrace his wife's waist and pin a short kiss on the wife's cheek.

"Thank you for being faithful to accompany papa until now" said Lathief.

Aina nodded.

"Happy birthday" he said.

Ivana and Renal also wish birthdays to their in-laws.

"Opa, can you eat now?" ask Arion suddenly.

Arvin looked at Arion sharply, while the others chuckled at Arion's question.

"I'm hungry, Vin" said Arion.

"Yes, that'sit. Let's eat first, dinner time is even over" Lathief broke up his two grandchildren.

Everyone sat in their seats, eating the dishes on the table.

"What do you want to eat deck?" ask Nevan to Ayra.

"Fried potatoes" Ayra replied.

"Don't eat rice or something?"

Ayra shakes.

"This afternoon" he answered.

"Ayra's on a diet again?" ask Mika.

"what is the diet?"

"Not dinner"

"Ayra dinner, papa. Eat potatoes"

The others just heard the conversation of papa and the boy.

After dinner, each of them split up. Young people choose to sit on a poolside recliner, while others choose to sit on a sofa that forms a circle. Ayra was already lying tired on the sofa, making Alda's thigh a pillow.

The sparkling stars are clearly visible from this top floor, as well as vehicles that go back and forth and city lights that light up.
