Children Light
The Unforgettable Birthday


Their new home is much smaller than the one they used to be. The location is also remote, away from other houses. Their belongings had already been transported all from the old house.


In that house, Wulan and Rara's room were made one. Suryo's room is the smallest of all the rooms and is much smaller than his room was and now he has to share a room with Arthur. This made him pout constantly. Moreover, the room could not accommodate all sorts of console games.


There are three bathrooms in the house. One is in Yeye and Nainai's room, while the other two are separate from the rest of the room. At first Suryo was happy when he was told they were going home, because all the necessary security was ready. But after seeing his new home, he was very disappointed.


Suryo and Wulan unceasingly complained how her clothes would not fit into the cupboard she had to split the two with Rara, not to mention that she thought the dresser was too small, keep the bed also so small when he is used to a large bed. Suryo did not accept because he had to give up his console game, then he also complained that later they had to fight over the bathroom. Their constant complaints eventually made Yeye impatient.


"Well, when do you keep complaining?"


"But Ye.. home time is very much compared...."


"Enough! Yeye didn't know why you could be such an ungrateful child. You think it's easy to find a replacement house this fast. After all, the bigger the house, the more security is needed! THINK!!"


Suryo and Wulan instantly fell silent. All their ages never remembered Yeye ever reprimanding them. This time they were severely reprimanded. Ordinary just a nagging Mama.


Wulan bowed, tears flowing. Somehow Yeye's reprimand was painful. Moreover, he did not like to be rebuked in front of Arthur.


" It's...Already.ayo shower bath. That's Abis we're having dinner. Papi and Mammu go home. Let them also take a shower immediately" said Nainai trying to melt the atmosphere.


"Arthur you take a shower first. Uncle Hugh's gonna pick you up."


" Yes, Yeye" said Arthur and rushed to get some clothes and headed to the bathroom.


Luckily, the bathroom outside the room is designed separately. So there is its own shower room, its own closet room, and a side-sink. So for example waiting for the shower, people who wait can brush their teeth or wash their face first.


They were only briefly in Anywhere, they had just exited the Mentor Village towards the square suddenly Aunt Yesha got a sudden call to immediately return to the headquarters of the bright warriors. The tour around Anywhere was cancelled. And they can go home sooner.


Before they get to the meeting portal at Borobudur Temple, Uncle Hugh contacts Yeye and says that they need Arthur. So for that Arthur was asked to get ready faster, because it will be picked up by Hazel.


This makes Suryo envious because Arthur is more needed, inexplicably Suryo feels disappointed. Maybe because earlier, he was so eager to see Anywhere further and was already very happy when his wish would be fulfilled but it turned out to be void, it was so when he thought it would be nice to see his new home, he said, his new home was much simpler than he had imagined. So hearing Uncle Hugh need Arthur made him even more upset.


Ordinary when this is the case, he needs an escape. And he remembered Aldi. Suryo thinks how Aldi is. Lastly they only communicate in online games. At that time Aldi asked the news, and said worried, because suddenly Suryo, Wulan and Rara disappeared from the school and their house was a fire.


Suryo relieved Aldi is fine. And from the story Aldi seems his father Aldi is also fine. Aldi even told how their car was borrowed by Allen and not returned. Make his father feel deceived and have filed a complaint officially on the Roaring racing team.


Pip...


The alkome reads and the indicator light flashes a blink indicating that a text message is coming in. Impatiently grabbed his alchemy from the bedside table.


"Neng ndi?" (Where)


From Aldi.


"Where-where.." answered Suryo accordingly.


"Wooo Iha!?! Seriously iki takon!" (Woo Iha!?! Seriously this is a question!")


"Let's go to my house. Wes I'll have a party for your birthday tomorrow."


Suryo flinched, he forgot tomorrow was his birthday and Wulan. And it seems that with all the commotion that happened his family also no one remembers. Because of the nature of Yeye, Nainai, Papi and Mami must have no trouble planning and questioning him where to eat and which orphanage they should visit.


Suryo felt sad because it turned out to be forgotten it was not good. Good thing Aldi remembers so well. For the past two years, Suryo has always celebrated his birthday with Aldi by staying at Aldi's parents' villa on the mountain. Wulan and Rara also joined. And every twelve o'clock exactly Aldi always gives a surprise.


Last year, suddenly at exactly twelve o'clock, dozens of their schoolmates shocked her by singing a happy birthday song in the villa grounds loudly. They come complete with balloons, birthday cakes and various gifts. It made Suryo and Wulan very happy. But still, Wulan was not touched to open his heart to Aldi who had been hard-earned to arrange and prepare everything. Suryo is a guy who feels very moved.


He also got up from his bed. And out of his room to find Nainai. Nainai was setting the dining table.


"Nai, can't you stay at Aldi's house as usual? Aldi ngundang. Like last year, too."


"Aldi?" Nainai scrunched his forehead. "Hmm.. Can't!"


"Yaaahh Naiiiii! Tomorrow is my birthday. Years ago at night Suryo always hang out with Aldi."


"This year is different! And you should know why. The situation is not the same. For your birthday tomorrow we celebrate in this house alone with our own family."


Suryo was very angry. Everything seemed increasingly unpleasant to him. Nainai always gave her what she wanted. Especially for his birthday.


"Wishing a birthday with the family? BORING! At most to the orphanage again. This family is boring! Can't have fun!"


Nainai looked shocked. Suryo felt guilty.


"SURYO!"


Her mother entered from a side door that connected the garage of the house with the middle room.


"How dare you speak like that to Nainai. Let's apologize."


"Naaaaahh .... BODO! My mom can't do anything at all. Talent does not have. Nagging anyway! USELESS!"


Suddenly his cheek felt sore. Seen from the side of Nainai's hand looks outstretched towards his cheek. Mami looked shocked and covered her mouth with her hands. From the corner of his eye Suryo can see Wulan, Rara and Arthur also appear to come down to see what is wrong. This made Suryo even more angry. He had never been beaten before, let alone like this in front of the crowd.


"Don't be an impudent spoiled child." Nainai's voice was shaking.


With hot cheeks and an even hotter heart, Suryo rushed up the stairs and ran towards his room. Slammed the door of his room hard and locked no matter how Arthur could not enter.


Silence the sound of knocking on the door and the soft sound of Rara calling out from behind the door.


Alkomnya.


"Wait a minute, I'll be there."
