I LOVEd YOU Since 18
Eps 03 (Best Do'a)
Elea placed the cake she held on a table beside Gienka's bedroom door. Elea approached her daughter and hugged her tightly interspersed with tears of happiness. Now her Gienka is no longer her adorable little baby with her chubby cheeks, but the Gienka in front of her grows up to be a kind, caring, beautiful girl, full of laughter is also very smart and always a favorite of everyone. Elea took off her arms and kissed both Gienka's cheeks and her forehead, looked at her deeply and Elea's eyes glazed over.
"Happy birthday to your beautiful daughter, all the best prayers I have always said to God for you, may you always be happy, filled with love from everyone, always be our pride and your hope may be granted by God...." Elea rubbed Gienka's long hair and her tears began to drip. "You're an adult, take good care of yourself as Mama always told you, you have to do it, Mama loves you so much...!" Elea said and she hugged Gienka again.
Gienka returned her mother's embrace. "Gie also loves Mama very much, Gie will do everything Mama and Papa have taught to be a filial and useful child for everyone...!"
Gienka then let go of her Mama's embrace and wiped away the tears that fell on her cheeks with a smile. She always runs and listens well to all the messages Elea gives her. How to behave when facing something and how important it is to take care of yourself and honor as a woman. Where a woman must be able to refrain from anything that can harm, and the most important honor of a guard can only be given to her husband later when married. At this time many women can not hold back and give what should only be given to the husband, not to lovers or the like. And Gienka will go to great lengths to keep herself from doing so.
After Elea, it was Ariel's turn to approach Gienka. Ariel smiled then kissed Gienka on the forehead gently. Ariel smiled looking at her daughter's face. She remembers always picking Gienka up to school and taking him to the office, setting up a special corner for her daughter to play, even as she did until she graduated from elementary school. But now his daughter is growing up, getting more beautiful and always cheerful.
After going through various things that complicate his life, and almost endless drama. Ariel begins to change her life after learning that what she did in the past could have happened with her children and she avoids it happening, and don't want his children to be the victims of his selfishness like they used to be. That's why he has until now tried to be a good father, also always teaching how important it is to respect others and not to demean them. It was enough of a mistake that he did before, now his focus is only to take care of his two daughters, make them proud and always teach positive things for both.
"Papa's happy birthday is beautiful....!" Ariel rubbed Gienka's cheeks gently. "Now that you are no longer a teenager, you are 18 years old and this is the right age to begin to string together your dreams and ideals, all the best prayers from Papa for you, Papa just wants you to be happy that's all, because Gienka's happiness is the happiness of all of us... Most importantly you should always be a good person" Ariel clenched both of Gienka's jaws and landed a sweet kiss on her daughter's forehead.
"Thanks Papa Iel....! Gie always loved you...!" Gienka hugged her Papa tightly, Ariel returned the hug.
To this day Danist and Elea have also never explained in detail to Gienka what had happened between them and Ariel, when Gienka asked her about it. Danist and Elea did not want if they told her all that would have an impact on Gienka's attitude towards Ariel. They did not want Gienka to judge Papa badly. It was a disgrace that they should be able to keep for the stability of Gienka. After all, the matter had already passed and there was already nothing more to discuss, Ariel was already a very good man in charge as well as an extraordinary person with his genius and was greatly admired by many. Gienka just had to know that from Ariel, no need to know with Ariel. Humans can change, if it changes for the better we have to close the disgrace of the ugliness in the past, if he turns bad, if he turns bad, so what we must remember is his goodness in the past without having to judge his ugliness at this time. Because we are not God who can determine whether it is good or bad, and God Himself is forgiving for every servant who regrets his bad deeds.
Danist gave her prayers to Gienka so that Gienka would always be given health and always be a person of inferiority.
This time it was Kyra's turn to hug her best friend tightly. "Gie's happy birthday.... Happy birthday dear... Have a really amazing birthday! Enjoy all the cakes, hugs, love and happiness today. You desire it, my sweet friend. All the best for you!" Kyra murmured while tightly hugging Gienka.
Since the baby, they have been friends and the friendship has been like a brotherhood. Kyra is very fond of Gienka, as well as her parents who have also considered Gienka as their own child.
"Thanks Ra...! You are my best friend in the world, I love you so much...!" Gienka.
Kyra held her arms and held Gienka's fingers with a smile. "May you always be happy, and I've invited all our classmates to come to your party later, there's also a gift from Ky, but later, now I don't bring it...!" Kyra hugged Gienka again and once again she wished her best friend a happy birthday.
