Dilemma Intersection
First Birthday, Gemma.

After a joint activity, Indira and Dirga returned to their official home. Not to forget Panji and the three Dirga aides followed them from behind. Arriving at home, Indira makes coffee for men. Gemma is playing with Panji.

"Gemmas! Bobok yuk dear," take Indira to his daughter.

"Mimi.. Mimiii.." The little girl walked towards the Mother.

"Sir Panji I stay first, yes! Gemma it's time to take a nap" Indira told Panji.

"OKay! Byee Gemma is beautiful!" Panji waved his hand at Gemma.

Dirga looked at his best friend full of haru, he never thought if Panji had returned. Dirga's eyes look teary, so Panji also threw away his face because he held back tears.

"Why do I look rich?! Falling in love just knows the taste!" Omel Panji made Dirga laugh.

"How are you? Everything's fine, right?" tanya Dirga and Panji nodded his head.

Before speaking, Panji sighed. "Gue same Fika so far fine, even our two parents have accepted everything sincerely. Eki's son, for me my son too. I consider him rich my own son. But I'm still a little surprised by Fika, she's now much more covered up as I am."

"closed? Mean lo?" asked Dirga in surprise.

"Fika is now numb rich, I invite her to marry and her expression is normal. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Even with the presence of the boy, I feel so happy, Ga! But I don't know, maybe there's a doubt in her heart as much as I am" Panji said.

"Sir Panji is wrong!" said Indira who just finished putting Gemma to sleep.

"It's not a doubt Fika, but rich over Fika's guilt same Kak Panji. He felt not pantes to be next to Kak Panji. Brother's task now is to convince Fika, if you accept everything sincerely. Besides, Kak Eki also does not exist, so there is no more reason for Fika to reject Brother. Because Galih needs a father figure," Indira gives advice to Panji.

They chat until the afternoon, even Gemma has woken up and returned to play with Bian, Panca, Waluyo and Panji. While Indira was busy preparing dinner for all of them. And after dinner, Panji also said goodbye because there are some things that he must take care of again.

"Mas, hopefully Kak Panji and Fika can unite! Let me get to Fika again, rich first. And Gemma can be good friends with Galih, too," said Indira made Dirga stroked his head slowly.

"God willing, we pray for the best!"

Time goes by, today is the first Gemma Birthday. The entire Indira family and Dirga were present. They all help with Gemma Birthday preparations. This time, Dirga invited orphans to celebrate his daughter's Birthday.

The most enthusiastic are Father Fahri and Papa Dirga. They want to dress up Gemma. While Gemma just stared with an innocent gaze towards her two Grandfathers.

"Gemma, use a rabbit bando from Anyang!" said Papa Dirga.

"Lho can't do that, besan! Gemma fit a bando tape from Opa huh?" said Father Fahri.

The two Grandfathers were busy arguing, until Dirga finally carried Gemma. Because he felt sorry to see his confused daughter.

"Stop! Gemma today wear hijab, don't wear bando! So, Dad and Papa stopped for a debate," said Dirga made both of them sigh long.

Gemma laughed at the expressions of her two Grandfathers. Until the others laugh.

"There are some Opa as well as Gemma! Today, Gemma wants to wear the same hijab made by Mamoy Alana. Beautiful is Opa, Eyang?" ask Indira while putting the hijab on her daughter.

"Beautiful!" answer the two in unison.

"Yoo clear! Baba's grandson!" baba Jafran's chirps make Father Fahri and Papa Dirga look at him sharply.

"Wow.. Relax my broh!"

After everyone got together, the show started. They did a joint do'a led by Abi Athaya who happened to be present. After the do'a together, Dirga and Indira gave a word to greet the guests.

"Assalamu'alaikum everyone, I say thank you very much. Because everyone is willing to be present to pray for our little daughter who today stepped on one year. There are many things we cannot say in words, especially to all our extended families. Thank you so much for giving your affection and love to our daughter Gemma Giacinta Indirga. May Allah repay you all for your kindness."

"For Gemma Father's daughter, thank you for attending and being a complement to the love of Father and Mother. May Gemma be a righteous and devoted child in Nusa Bangsa and Agama. I promise you, I'll always take good care of Gemma and Mommy."

Dirga could not resist the taste of haru that burst in the chest. He hugged and kissed his first daughter with great love. After Dirga, Indira also gave a do'a for her daughter.

"There is nothing I can say but gratitude. To Dad, Mother, Papa, Mama and the whole extended family. Thank you for all the love and affection for us. Although far away, but we never feel lacking with all the affection you give."

"Gemma, thank you, son. Thank you so much for being present in the life of Father and Mother. All good do'a we always say to you. Thank you for being a strong child, heart booster and love Daddy and Mommy."

She kissed and hugged Gemma. The little girl only laughed as her parents kissed her cheeks.

The event was very lively, because Baba Jafran who served as an MC was suddenly in the spotlight of children. His funny behavior made the children laugh happily. At 12pm, the event was over. The fathers perform dzuhur prayer congregation in the mosque. While the mothers prepare lunch and pray alternately.

"Hi Gemma! Here dong hugs, aunty Aini kangen!" said Aini while stretching out both her hands.

Gemma also walked over to Aini, but when half way suddenly Gemma's body floated. The little girl laughed too.

"No! Don't hug Aunty, cut her baby. Mending with Om Athaya aja, kitaaaa baaaangggggg...!"

Athaya who had just arrived, immediately carried Gemma's body and made her hover. Gemma laughs happily, until someone's voice makes Athaya laugh stiffly.

"Lo flyin my son, I make your life fly!"

"Hehehe, hi Sister-in-law!" Athaya laughed stiffly.

They all laughed at Dirga's and Athaya's expressions. "Udah, Ga! Kaga is not the same as Athaya. The look on his face was like a corpse!" baba Jafran whispered.

"Udah came late! Keep Gemma in that fly-flying! What if my son gets dizzy, keeps vomiting!" nagging Dirga while holding Gemma.

"Dad! Yayah!" babble the little girl.

"Basic possessive Dad!" chirping Athaya made Dirga look back at him.

"Let's be a dad later! Your son I'm unyel-unyel ampe abis!"

They laugh back together. Letting go of longing and getting together with the family becomes the happiest thing for Indira and also Dirga. Their happiness is more complete when Gemma can grow well and become a cheerful child.
