After praying Isya' Rangga just returned from a meeting with a client. He rushed to take a shower because he could not bear to feel his sticky body. Reyna took out a purse in Rangga's pants pocket then put it in the dirty laundry basket. The wallet accidentally fell to the floor. Reyna then picked it up. He did not expect Rangga to keep a photo of Reyna who is still Junior High in his wallet along with his wedding photo.
"The way you love me is so sweet, By!" reyna muttered with a smile.
Reyna looked at the other part where Rangga's identity card was. She fiddled to see a picture of her husband inside her ID card while reading carefully the contents of her identity card Reyna was stunned.
"Three October...!" he murmured inwardly while covering his gaping mouth.
"Astaghfirullahal'adzim, why did I forget!" Reyna spoke for herself.
He hurried to pick up the calendar sitting on the nightstand.
"Hahh, today is the second day! What should I do!" Rangga said he always celebrated birthdays with his friends and family.
This is the first time he has celebrated his birthday after marriage. And Reyna felt guilty that there was absolutely no preparation to surprise her husband. Rangga has always made Reyna special for her, What happens if Reyna can not give anything memorable on her first birthday after becoming a husband.
The open bathroom door revealed Rangga who had just finished bathing still wearing a towel wrapped around his waist. Reyna quickly put the wallet on the nightstand and then turned to the closet to get a change of clothes for her husband.
Pick up comfortable shorts and home shirts to relax at home. After changing clothes Rangga put his body on the bed.
"Darling, can ask for my head massage no, it feels a bit dizzy," said Rangga.
"Emm.iya, By," Reyna got up from where she stood and climbed into the bed.
Rangga then put his head in Reyna's lap. Reyna gently nibbled her husband's head. While scolding Reyna thinking about what she should do to make her husband memorable with his birthday this time. Giving a cake in the middle of the night, it is impossible this is already 20:30. Many cake shops have closed. After all, he was unlikely to come out to buy it even though there were still some that were open. If it comes out then Rangga will ask where to go this late, in essence it is not a good idea in a situation like this.
He crossed out the picture of the cake that appeared in his shadow. She thought hard what she could prepare at home, of course, when her husband was asleep. That means with very little time.
Without realizing it his massage stopped due to his daydream. The sleepless Rangga awakens to realize that Reyna's massage has stopped and Reyna is silent. He then looked up at his wife's face. Reyna's gaze was empty.
"Darling...?" call Rangga.
But there was no answer from Reyna.
Slowly Rangga woke up, and as quickly as lightning briefly kissed Reyna's lips.
"Emmh...! Why did you suddenly kiss me, By?" reyna asked in surprise.
"Hhhahaha.., it's wrong for yourself why stop massaging and even bengong so!" Rangga.
"Sorry maybe I'm tired" Reyna said.
"Yes, let's go to sleep now, baby. I also almost fell asleep earlier if the massage did not suddenly stop," Rangga changed his position by laying his head on the pillow.
"I'm sorry, By?" Reyna.
"Yes, let's go to sleep" Rangga pulled his wife's body into his arms.
Rangga hugged Reyna tightly. And in a few moments there was a soft snoring from Rangga. Usually Rangga does not snore, maybe this time because he is very tired because he works almost all day.
Slowly Reyna moved Rangga's hand that was coiled around her waist. Then she sat down in front of her dresser. Reyna kept thinking hard about what she could do to make her husband's birthday this time memorable, albeit with simplicity. He never celebrated his birthday. So he is difficult to get a surprise idea for Rangga in the middle of the night.
Reyna opened the nightstand drawer then looked for photos of their togetherness in the wedding photo album. Reyna wears her Instagram hijab, then goes out into the living room while carrying her wedding photo album.
He was looking for a roll of wool yarn that grandmothers used to knit.
Suddenly the door opened. Reyna reflex stops her activity to wait for who shows up.
He sighed as he watched Grandma walk out from behind the door of his room.
"Reyna..., what are you doing? Grandma thought you were asleep" Grandma walked over with a glass in her hand.
"No, Grandma. Reyna is preparing a surprise for Rangga's birthday, Nek," said Reyna who looked lethargic.
"Tomorrow on the third of October, Grandma forgot, '" said Grandma.
"Reyna also forgot, Grandma. So this is Reyna confused, where did not have time to make the cake too again, Nek," said Reyna sad.
"Reyna wanted to compose photos of Rangga on a thread and hang them somewhere, Grandma. Then, Reyna plans to add some candles to make it look romantic. Well..Well, what else, Grandma?" Reyna is getting frustrated because time is running fast.
"Emm.begini, instead of cake you just make milk egg pudding with a small size, so that it quickly forms, then it is given to a small cake mold. After all, it is night, Rangga must also not taste to eat pudding night-night in large quantities. Coincidentally in the refrigerator there is liquid milk, eggs are also available, gelatin, it seems we also still have the supply. Then the candles you just use ordinary candles, the supply is also still in the drawer. Then you stack it on a small plate where the cup is in a good order. If for photos Rangga easy, grandma has photos of Rangga from babies, to teenagers. Moments later, I'll get it, "Granny then goes back into her room.
Reyna feels very lucky to get help from grandma, for her grandmother is a reliable figure and she is very dear because it is always there for Reyna. He rushed to the kitchen to make a pudding. After leaving her room, Grandma approached her to the kitchen with some family photo albums.
While making the pudding, Reyna discussed with grandma. Sort through any good photos to put together. After the pudding, Reyna poured it into a heart-shaped cake mold with a medium size.
"Sir, how about making a surprise in the gazebo only Rangga's favorite place," said Reyna when getting the idea suddenly.
"Oh yes, it's Reyna. That's a great idea!"
They finally walked to the gazebo. Grandma arranged the candles on the plates where the cups amounted to twenty-five pieces. Meanwhile, Reyna hung some photos from since Rangga was a baby, then grew into a teenager until now married.
"Hopefully it works, Reyn. Grandma wants to go back to the room, Grandma is not strong if you have to not sleep all night," said Grandma.
"Yes Nek, thanks for the help earlier," said Reyna.
After the death of her grandmother, Reyna arranged her candles which amounted to twenty-five pieces on the front floor of the gazebo with a large heart shape so that Reyna can stand in the middle. Then hang the photos that have been selected to hang on the thread earlier. He then took the pudding from the refrigerator and took it to the gazebo.
'Perfect!', he said inwardly.
At 23:50 minutes Reyna had it all done. He then called Rangga's cellphone which he had placed near Rangga. In the third ring Rangga finally woke up. Rangga who woke up because he heard the voice of the cellphone was confused to find his wife was not beside him.
Rangga immediately came out of the room, and was about to head for the kitchen. Reyna sang a birthday song.
🎶 Happy birthday to you...
happy birthday to you...
happy birthday to you...
Rangga turned to his wife and then ruffled his waist with a smile. She didn't expect Reyna to surprise her on her birthday. As far as Rangga is concerned, Reyna has never celebrated her own birthday.
Rangga then walked closer to Reyna.
"Barakallah fii umrik, Rangga Putra Sanjaya. May be healthy always, more successful, and become priest of the hereafter for me. Aamiin," said Reyna who made Rangga then embraced with affection his wife's body.
"Thank you, dear," said Rangga.
"Try blowing up all the lights first, By," said Reyna.
Rangga then loosened his embrace, then blew into the 25 candles one by one.
"Yeayy ....!" reyna said with a cheerful clap of her hand.
Then he took Rangga to sit in the gazebo, while enjoying the pudding made by Reyna, with loving feed from him.
"Darling, where did you get these pictures of me?" asked Rangga who was surprised to see his picture plastered from when he was a baby until he married.
"From, Grandma. Sorry yes, By. I can only love this on your birthday?" Reyna became sad again because she could only prepare a small surprise.
"Eitz, this is great, honey, the most important thing for me is that at my twenty-fifth year, my goal is to achieve, which is that I have you, and soon I'll have our love's men. That's all I've been so happy about, honey. Because having you is the most beautiful thing in my nose, Reyna Hanania," said Rangga while rubbing Reyna's head.
Reyna hugged her husband tightly, so happy to get so much love from Rangga.
"I love you so much, By!"
"I love you more, baby!"
