Ami had just opened her mukena after performing dawn prayers when she glanced at the phone that suddenly rang. It was a video call from Panda. He smiled widely. Rushing to wear the mukena top again and put the glass. Fear there is still a cane in the eye or upil in the nose. It is certainly safe, then shift the video icon and say hello.
"Wa'alaikum salam. Good morning, Cutie. Barakallah fii umrik, my love. May your day ahead be happier, more blessed, more mature, more dear, and more dear to me." Akbar sending flying kiss accompanied by a sweet smile.
Ami smelled a smile with both cheeks blushing pink. "Aamiin, my Panda. Thank you for everything. Hmm, so many words that I want to say make a picture of how I feel right now. But fear is a welcome. I summed it up to three words. I love you." Ami raised her right hand to form a finger love symbol.
Akbar laughed crisply. It is impossible to be 100% soluble in a romantic baper atmosphere. There must be a typical Ami joke. "So hang out with a classmate, Cutie?"
"So, Brother. Gather in Mr. Duck's hens later in the day. Marga has already reported that 28 people will join. I'm leaving with Padma."
"Have fun, Cutie. Gifts from me next Saturday."
"Not do it, brother. It was a transfer for a transaction. That was an overabundance too. I didn't give a gift to Akbar."
"Gift doesn't have to be stuff. Your arrival to the office bring your homemade food is a special gift that can not be assessed with money."
"Don't say sweet. I want to go to Bengkulu on Saturday tomorrow." Ami pelt her tongue accompanied by a crybaby.
Akbar shook his head. "I don't want to go to Bengkulu. Got your own plans to go to Egypt."
"Me sir's. Hmmm, what does that mean?" Ami tapped the temple with her index finger.
"Love You to the End." Akbar blinked one eye and smiled sweetly.
"Hiyaaaa, pass out first ah." Ami disappeared from the screen. Toggle rolling on the floor with both shoulders.
"Honey, I hope dong pingsannya." Akbar was still laughing while staring at the screen that displayed an empty sofa because of the absurdity of Ami's behavior. Fortunately far. If it is close.either it feels unable to feel restless to want to menguyel-nguyel both cheeks of the Cutie and hugged him because of the adorable behavior.
The laughter still belonged to the two of them until it ended at six o'clock because Akbar had to prepare. He will go to Bogor with his parents. There is a wedding invitation from the Papa Darwis family that starts with a marriage contract at 10 this morning.
Ami went down the stairs with light and carefree steps. Hurry to the dining table because usually Mother has prepared decorative rice tumpeng for each of her children who have birthdays. In the sense of children who are at home. As the years change, the children one by one start to leave the house because they have their own lives.
Not according to expectations. At the dinner table there was nothing. Clean and empty. Ami headed to the kitchen and did not see any traces of cooking tumpeng. Even the smell was not smelled at all. And no one either. He went back inside. Look at the door of Mother's room that was closed. Could it be that after dawn Mom and Dad went to sleep again? Because if you go out, you'll tell me first.
Tired of being in a lonely house, Ami picks up the key to Zaky's Ninja motorcycle, which he keeps in his room. To wipe and heat. The plan is that if Mom is out of the room, she will leave to go to Padma's house using the motor sport. The main door that was still locked was opened slowly. Dan.he's tangled.
"Today's the day you've been waiting for. Add a year to your happy age. What I give you is not a clock and a ring. Not a bunch of flowers, or poetry, nor a necklace of hearts. Sorry, not stingy. Or don't want to be a little. What I want to give you is a heartfelt prayer....🎶"
Ami spontaneously cupped her lips because she did not expect to get a surprise from her family. There is Aul who holds a black forest cake with a number 18 candle while singing with Panji, Ibu Sekar, Papa Bagja, and Padma.
"Hais, Munaroh mah make it a day I'll pay." Ami sniffed. "Kirain's mother slept again at dawn. You see there is no tumpeng on the table," he turned to look at Mom and Papa who were chuckling.
"Who says there is no tumpeng. I was ready there." Ibu Sekar pointed towards the Dapoer Mother's restaurant whose door was still closed.
"Mi, Tetang pegel. Blow out the candle first." Reprimand Aul with a grimacing expression.
"Ah teteh mah lebay. Mini cake as well. Half a kilo is also not there." Ami's answer made Padma giggle. "This time his prayer is special for pregnant women. May Aul and debay Tea be healthy. Smoothly and safely." He sincerely prayed for his second brother who guaranteed everyone on the terrace. The number 18 candle was blown.
Mother hugged Ami accompanied by a speech containing do'a. Everyone took turns congratulating and giving the best do'a. Then both headed to Dapoer Mother to start eating rice tumpeng. Simple yet happy.

In a room of the Seruni hotel which is a general manager workspace, Tommy just answered a phone from the CEO and president director of the Seruni hotel, Akbar Pahlevi Bachtiar.
"Tommy, there's an urgent task for you now!" Akbar's voice on the other end of the phone was so firm.
"Ready, Sir. What's the job, sir?" Tommy replied with enthusiasm with a voice as gracious as possible. He began to listen to the explanation with great attention. The originally wide smile turned pursed and tipped to gawk with bulging eyes.
Time has changed day. Padma who finished eating the tumpeng did not go home. Different from Aul and Panji who fare well at nine because they will continue to visit the house of Bunda Ratih. He will join Ami to celebrate his birthday with a meal with his classmates Ami.
"Mi, if I know that Akbar is giving money to a classmate, how is his reaction?" Padma turned to Ami who was focused on driving towards the border of Ciamis Lake. He heard Ami saying he wanted to buy a close friend at Ayam Geprek Mr Duck Tasik. Didn't say treat all classmates.
"Wouldn't wish ah. Later if Kak Akbar officially accepted by Mother, I will start to open. There won't be any more cover-ups to let me know that the candidate is super good." Sahut Ami remained focused on paying attention to the road in front of him.
Arriving at the parking lot of the chicken booth, Ami and Padma approached Marga and friends who gathered on the left side in free clothes.
"Guys, go straight to the second floor. I made a reservation." Ami said after seeing his watch that showed the time was in accordance with the reservation hours.
"OKAY. But the food is waiting for three more people, Mi. Almond, Sonya, and Ifa. Otewe again." Sahut Marga who became the chief coordinator.
"okay." Ami leads the front with Padma. Go first into the store. The number of people who followed with noise because of laughter, became the center of attention of people in the store.
