Today is the day Ilmi turned 4 years old.
Because at that time Nina had not been given shopping money by her husband, so she could not give Ilmi a big birthday cake like Ilmi always wanted.
In the morning, after finishing cooking, Nina left for the market to buy a cake and a small gift.
Armed with a piece of blue money, Nina set out and hoped that with the money she could buy a gift and a birthday cake.
Arriving at the market, Nina first offered a shirt.
" This is how much it costs?" Ask Nina to the clothes seller.
" 55.000."
" Geez is very expensive, the clothes are good, it looks like they will be very suitable for use by Ilmi. But the money I brought was only 50k."
Nina was a little disappointed, If only Gilang had given her the money. He could definitely give Ilmi that shirt.
Then Nina started looking for more clothes, until she found clothes with the right price. Thirty Five thousand.
" Thank God the money is still 15,000, I'd better get a cake. I hope the big sponge cake still exists."
Arriving at the place of sale of the cake, Lina was disappointed because the big sponge that was expected to not exist.
" If the cake must order first, because if the stock here does not sell immediately." Said the cake seller.
Finally Nina bought some brownies and 1 large donut.
Along the way home, Nina could not wait to imagine how happy Ilmi was when Nina woke her up with a candle and a gift.
Chequek...
Nina slowly opens the door and makes sure that Ilmi is still sleeping.
Then Nina deftly arranged a few pieces of brownies. And put a big donut on it. Not to forget also Nina put a number 4 candle that she had bought long before.
Nina lights a candle and approaches Ilmi.
" Ilmi darling.."
" Ergh.."
Ilmi's awake..
" Happy Birthday dear." Said Nina while handing over the tray containing the birthday cake there Ilmi blew it.
" Mother, Ilmi does not want this cake. Ilmi wants a big cake."
Nina smiled, even though it hurt in her heart. Ilmi's expression when receiving a birthday cake from Nina is inversely proportional to Nina's shadow.
" Yes, later if you already have money mother will make Ilmi a big birthday cake."
With a pouting face Ilmi blew out the candle.
" Fuh, I've."
After blowing the candle Ilmi went back to sleep.
" Lo, how come you're sleeping again?, Ilmi won't open her card?"
" Where?" Ketus Ilmi, maybe she was disappointed because the expected birthday cake Nina could not give.
With a smile, Nina gave him a black plastic bag.
" Not wrapped in wrapping paper." Ketus Ilmi's.
" I'm sorry, baby."
After opening and viewing the contents. Ilmi went back to sleep.
" Tomorrow make Ilmi a big cake and a real gift."
" Yes." Yeah."
" Hem. mangkan if you do not have money it does not need to be pretentious to buy a gift or a candle inflatable event. Like a rich kid." Said Gilang who woke up.
Nina then brought back a tray containing a birthday cake.
Nina looked towards Gilang and Ilmi, Nina turned off the kitchen lights.
" I'm sorry mommy, because you can't give me what Ilmi wants. Hopefully one day you can make Ilmi happy in your own way." Lirih Nina with tears that had wet her cheeks.
Nina wiped her tears, then walked and slept beside Ilmi. The face of the first girl who is now 4 years old. That means the marriage age of Nina and Gilang has run 5 years.
God, can't you give me a glimmer of happiness. I want to be happy even for a moment. I want to make my daughter happy. Let me re-feel the joy of being loved and cherished by someone we love. Why does this wound continue to be wet, even though the wound was just dry.
The next day, the,
" Where's your husband?" Eka asked who happened to be passing by the front road of the boarding house, so she decided to stop by for a while.
" I don't know."
" Now, I can't know. Wong you're his wife."
" Yes, how can I know where Gilang went. If he himself never told me if he'd get out of the house."
" Dry anyway?"
" Yes, he was like that a long time ago. And I'm also lazy to ask because the edges must be fighting."
" Patience yes, hopefully after this crazy get guidance so that his heart can open.
" Amin."
It didn't feel like it was an hour at Nina's house.
" Am I'm home.."
" Yes, thanks for stopping by and coming back another day."
" Must."
" Bye, assalamualaikum."
" Moreo."
Drrrttt drrrttt drrrrttt
After Eka's death, Nina's phone rang.
Drrrttt drrrttt drrrrttt
Nina got some good news. The father gave her some money so that Ilmi could buy whatever she wanted.
Nina was ecstatic.
" Maybe this is how God makes my daughter happy. Although not from my own efforts, but at least I can see her smiling happily." Ilih Ilmi.
Nina then takes Ilmi to the convenience store. And Ilmi can buy whatever she wants.
" Ilmi remember yes, don't tell dad that ilmi was given money by grandfather."
" Why?" Ask Ilmi.
" Already, anyway Ilmi can not tell Dad. If Ilmi tells dad, then I'll take all Ilmi's belongings."
" Hmm, okay."
Nina smiled and invited Ilmi to come home.
I'm sorry, son, didn't mean to teach you to lie. But, if you know that you have money. Then your father won't give you that bunsa for shopping. Let the money given from Grandpa Ilmi, I use it for the money of science.
