From Event to Love
Birthday Gift

"When my mother was on her way home, she was a scientist. When he wanted to return home, on the way he stopped at the traffic light was red and he waited for the light to be green, while he was waiting he saw from the rearview mirror of his car that there was a truck driving very fast towards him." Valdo told me in detail about his past.

"So he decided to avoid the truck, when he wanted to unbuckle his seatbelt he did not see that there was a truck in front of him that was driving towards him just like the truck that was behind him. Then he was hit by two trucks that were behind and in front of him at that time."

"When my sister and I were in the house, we were playing. At that time my sister already had a cell phone and also had my mother's phone number, when we were busy playing suddenly my mother called my sister. But the voice that came out of my mother's cell phone wasn't my mother's but someone else's."

FLASHBACK ON*

The man said. 📞"Hello is this with her son Miss Clara?"

📞"True, what's up? and you who? why is my mother's cell phone with you?"

📞"Emm' we are from Freeman Hospital, would like to tell you that your mother had an accident."

📞"What!" the phone held by Alvaro fell out of his grasp when he heard this.

Valdo who was a child saw it spontaneously asked his brother, "Sister Varo what's wrong? what's wrong with mom?" valdo said with an anxious and fearful expression.

"Valdo .. mother, mother she ... she was in an accident … ." Lirih Alvaro told Valdo while holding back his tears not to drip and at the same time he felt a little shocked by what he still heard.

"Yeah! no way, Brother must be lying. Mother couldn't be .. ." Her high tone of voice slowly started to become a soft voice as if something wanted to flow from her eyes yet she still held her back from dripping.

"Look Valdo, brother's gonna call dad we're gonna go to the hospital." Alvaro took his cell phone and contacted his father.

The phone call was picked up by his father. "Varo what's wrong? why are you calling me, don't you know I'm busy working at our company." he said with santay like nothing happened.

"Dad ... mother, mother accident .. now she is in the hospital Freeman Hospita. Let's go over there and see mom .. hiks." Alvaro's tears are now no longer able to be weathered anymore tears are now starting to wet his cheeks.

"What." shocked her. Alvaro suddenly heard the voice of a woman near his father. He called his father from earlier turned on the speaker on his cellphone of course the sound must have been heard by people who were not far from him.

"Director Edwin, what are you doing, don't we want to have fun?" seduce the woman with an exciting tone of voice. Then the woman's voice was heard by Valdo because the speaker phone Alvaro was on, Alvaro immediately turned off the phone connection.

"Valdo, we can't go with dad, we better go with Assistant Kevin."

The nurse escorted them to the operating room and told them that their mother was still in the operating room to be handled. Alvaro and Valdo waited in the waiting room, not how long the door of the operating room opened. "Doctor, how is my mother" Alvaro asked the doctor who handled his mother in the operating room.

"Sorry .. Ms. Clara, it's gone … ." The doctor said with a heavy heart to Alvaro and Valdo. At once Alvaro who heard that suddenly shouted, "WHAT!"

Valdo, who did not want to hear anything from the doctor, went straight to see his mother who was in the operating room. When he saw his mother he was silent and very surprised to see his mother who was still covered with blood.

"Mom .. mom is fine, Valdo came to see mom. Didn't mom promise to celebrate Valdo's birthday today." Valdo, standing next to his dead mother, was distracted by the shopping bag on the operating table.

"What's this?" he said he saw the shopping bag. While Alvaro and the Doctor who was outside also entered the operating room and saw Valdo like that.

"Ohh that was the shopping bag your mother was holding when the accident happened, and she didn't even take off the shopping bag. Oh, yes, in the shopping bag there's a letter, here's the letter." The doctor explained about the bag and then gave a letter with blood spots to Valdo.

In the letter it says:

...Happy birthday Valdo my 10th son, may on your birthday this time you be smart, diligent, and not arrogant. Maybe you don't know what it means to love someone, but I hope you find someone good. No need to be beautiful enough she sincerely loves you .. both love each other just that, and this is a gift from mom for you....

Valdo opened the bag and saw that there was a military suit that fit perfectly with his size. "Hahahaha .. heh' turns out this is a gift from mom, I'm so happy." Valdo laughed but his eyes took out a clear white spire from his eyes that flowed incessantly on his face. At that moment, Father Edwin was late.

"Dad .." said Alvaro who saw the arrival of his father. "Doctor you can go." Hearing that, the doctor obeyed Alvaro's words and left. "Alvaro Valdo's! are you guys okay." Edwin's tone of voice that was shocked immediately began to slow and slow when he saw the state of Valdo.

"Valdo what are you doing!" edwin to Valdo.

"He' Daddy just arrived, heh' long time ago .. I've said goodbye to mom, now it's just you two then say goodbye, I won't bother you two anymore." Valdo walked up to Kevin's assistant and said, "Sistant Kevin is taking me home."

"But Young Master, Young Master Alvaro he .." Valdo immediately greeted Assistant Kevin "Don't mind him, isn't there still a father here." valdo answered with his empty eyes as if he did not care about the people around him.
