Cliches
17. Birthday

Today both my parents have returned to our home. They look immeasurable. I also warmly welcomed both. I'm like the queen of this house, so spoiled and served whatever I want. My mother, my father both always present the best for me. Not infrequently they also arrange anything that feels inappropriate for me. Like the color of room bed linen, blankets and even the color of clothes are also always harmonized with them.

I saw my mother was very busy today, she arranged flowers of various colors and aromas. There are a lot of people helping, I don't know what's being prepared.

“ mother, no preparation what is this?“

“ this is your sister's birthday, mom has prepared a dress for you later tonight dear “

“ Brother's birthday? The adhan? “

“ yes, here to mother's room, you try your dress first “

I was obediently following my mother's footsteps.

Is it Adhan's birthday today ? I don't even know and haven't prepared a gift for her yet.

“ This is Zhu, your brother's favorite color. Hopefully suitable for tonight “

“ yes, mother was right tonight I will use Adhan's favorite color dress to make her happy little “

“ you can try it “ I immediately went to install this dress of my mother's choice. Pretty fitting and I think it's pretty eye-catching. She really likes aqua blue, a soft but firm color. Rushing over I tried on this dress, I wanted to call Jinny immediately and take her out to buy the right gift pack for Adhan. There's no way I didn't give her a gift on her birthday, she was so nice to me. At least I had to disguise myself as a good sister after trying and mom guaranteed it. I said goodbye to go, but my steps stopped at the door. Adhan is already perched in front of me. I don't say hello, or just throw a smile just through it. Honestly until this moment actually I am still confused how to behave to him. Successfully contacting Jinny, I prepared to go with him.

Sis Firas is also ready to accompany to choose the right gift, the hours the three of us revolve in the shopping center. Her acerbity fell my gaze on a pair of sports shoes. Jinny chose a watch, brother Firas chose sports shoes and this is the last choice. I wrapped it up neatly and pretty special.

“ write words happy birthday and akiri with the word “ Love You “ so Zhu “

I nailed this girl's head, she grimaced in pain. What's in his brain so I have to write that word. I tried to erase love for her. How could I say it.

Once the gift is ready, we return to our homes. I also reminded the two brothers not to forget to come on time. However, today I have to be strong and stronger to always put a happy smile in front of Adhan. At least I need Jinny to lean back and share the story.

The clock spun without asking, the time for the event is near. I was preparing to polish my face sober, my mother also helped me apply makeup. It felt enough, my mother left me to welcome guests and advised me to immediately follow the event. I have a little heart, I have to be ready and choose the right smile. Jinny looks so bright, he's looking for me in the room and invites me to attend events. I never thought I'd be in the middle of this festive event.

I had never attended a birthday party that was made this lively. It's a guy's birthday, but it's made really big like a wedding. Many of my mom and dad's guests were smiling. Even my mother and father did not hesitate to make an announcement that I was his daughter. Father had shed tears to announce the welcome of my presence. After that, my father came and landed a sweet kiss before re-assembling with his guests.

I was joking with Jinny, trying to comment on this that's what we saw. My eyes are on a girl. Her hair is curly and long. Her makeup is natural, very charming. I'm not interested in her charming face, I'm still normal. I'm interested in the dress she's wearing. I am no stranger to that dress. My eyes follow where he walks. Apparently he was heading towards the direction Adhan was standing. I also saw them hugging warmly in front of everyone.

“ Zhu... “

“ I'm fine “ I replied softly.

While Brother Firas stood in front of me without a word. My view is still vague, unclear. Puddles of water in the eyelids have been heading impatient, but I try to hold it as much as possible. Until arriving at the candle blowing that has been prepared. Mother prepared the biggest cake I've ever seen. Mothers order specially for today's event.There may be a hundred candles that must be extinguished. Adhan's eyes were sharp at me, while I was glued to see the legan girl in a light blue dress curled in Adhan's right arm.

So, that's why the dress I had to try and buy without having to give it to me?

I vividly remember when she chose the dress and asked me to give it a try, she also said she just wanted me to try it. After that I saw on the cashier she bought the dress but she didn't give it to me. So for the girl?

I feel like someone touched my palm. Let out my gaze at the foot of Firas who was faithfully still beside my left, he just closed his eyes and nodded gently. Dad turned out to be in front of me and developed his most beautiful smile. Dad embraced me warmly and guided me to the candle-blowing spot. Looks alay and lebay, but I don't know maybe this can make a happy atmosphere.

“ is also a welcoming event the presence of my beloved daughter Zhulaikah Al-Fasih “ applause guests disguised happy.

I try to smile as much as I can. While my heart churned as I had to stand in tandem with Adhan to blow hundreds of these candles. My eyes are sharp glancing at Adhan's calm face. The more strained my heart was as mom asked Adhan to cut the cake and give us a little mouthful.

The first bribe Adhan gave to Mother, then the father and he thrust the cake in front of me who still resisted the turmoil of inner warfare, heart and brain that must act according to logic. I don't know what resulted from the war, so I just silently stared hard at Adhan who asked me to bite a little cake in his hand. Until finally I rejected the hand and let a piece of cake was falling.

Immediately I held his face with both palms of my hands and I grounded his kiss despite having to tiptoe because he was still higher than me even though I had used high heels. I opened my eyes and I let these petals stare with sharp petals that made me hold my throat. But when I realized, I was just stumbling and feeling very stupid.

What the hell am I doing? What am I supposed to do?

I embarrassed myself in front of a lot of people. I crossed my own face with irregular ink.
