Love Agusd The Handsome Cat
32. Birthday Anniversary

In the morning after the dawn prayer, Agust helped Mother in the kitchen.

"Besok Archi's birthday, Agust." Mother told Agust who was preparing vegetables to make capcay.

"Do you have any gifts for Archi?" ask Mother.

"It's my mother-in-law." replied Agust while cutting vegetables.

It's wrapped in a gift?" I asked to make sure Agust understood this.

"Wrapped gift?" asked Agust who, as I thought, he did not understand about this.

"Yes, wrapped in a special picture paper to wrap the gifts."

"Oh..." Agust could understand what she meant when she remembered the gift box she had seen on television.

"Yes, I'll buy the paper later, yes" said Mother kindly offered.

"Tomorrow we must cook something special. Because Archi's birthday. We have to make birthday cakes too." Mom's plan is for tomorrow.

In the afternoon Mother gave a gift wrapper to Agust who was playing with Kenji in his room.

"How to pack a gift?" gumam Agust looked at the gift wrapper with a picture of a cat after the mother left.

"Can't I pack a gift?" ask Kenji. Agust.

"I can!" kenji said proudly.

"Mom once taught me to wrap presents. But simple," said Kenji.

"Yes it's okay. Kenji please help brother!" pinta Agust hooked her fingers against each other before her face. Agust asked while playing the role of students and teachers as in the films.

"All right! Hahahah.." Kenji laughs.

With Kenji's help, Agust wraps a gift for Archi. Agust pays attention and helps Kenji as much as he can.

"You're a really smart Kenji kid!" puji Agust gave Kenji a thumbs up. Kenji smiled proudly.

"But roughly...Kak Archi likes no gifts from Brother?" ask Agust.

"Definitely love dong Kak! Take it easy," replied Kenji, winking his eyes.

"That's my sister!" gemes Agust pinched Kenji's cheek.

To esokan day . ..

In Archi's office....

"Chi.happy birthday!" exclaim Archi's friends.

"Thank you. Oh my God.Hit's too late, you want my birthday!" said Archi acting moved by pretending to cry.

"Where's the treaty?" susan Pinta.

"Yeah.kalian just say a word, a gift just don't give. Ask for a treaty!" gerutu Archi just joked to make 3 friends Archi laugh.

"Udah gede too, do not need to be adjoined!" kelakar Andini's. Archi laughed along with the others.

The laughter of the three Archi friends slowly stopped and changed with smiles looking back at Archi.

"The practice is to go home from work to eat," suddenly Ridwan's voice interrupts. Archi turned his head looking towards the smiling Ridwan by his side.

"Sir Ridwan paid, right?" susan smiled at jail.

"Dong's birthday. Yes Chi?" tanya Ridwan blinked his eyes at Archi.

"It's easy. It's just you guys.." Archi's speech was interrupted because Ridwan interrupted him again.

"Friends.later home from work afternoon do not go home first Archi want to treat us to eat!" exclaimed Ridwan to one of the work rooms.

"Yeeeaaahh...horeee...eat-eat!" others are excited.

Archi gawked, his mouth gaping, wide open. Archi's friends were as shocked and confused as Archi.

"When is this much money from?" inner Archi. "Lost my savings!" Archi grimaced in the heart.

Ridwan turned around with a face full of satisfied smiles while still looking at Archi who still looked in shock.

"Hailoh Chi!" andini is scared.

"Patient Chi!" said Icha pat Archi on the shoulder.

Afternoon after work. On foot, all of Archi's roommates walked up to Ridwan to a restaurant near the office.

Walking the very back Archi opened and looked in his wallet which only contained a hundred thousand two pieces of money.

"You should be angry with Mr. Ridwan. She's really good at eating, you pay!" said Susan.

"Yes, even though I want to treat the three of you with Mr. Ridwan doang, not one gini room!" archi replied so bitterly. He wanted to cry, crouching on this street.

They also entered the restaurant that carries the theme of the buffet. Sundanese music sounds melodious since entering the restaurant.

"Before we start eating. We sit down first, read the prayer together for the birthday today," explained Ridwan from the loudspeaker that has been provided by the resto.

All employees sit in chairs with tables that have been arranged elongated.

"Sir Sholeh.please lead his prayer sir!" pinta Ridwan. Pak Sholeh who is known for his alim and clever religion advanced steadily.

"For our friend who is birthday today Archila, let us pray together to always be given the blessing of longevity......," the prayer continued until the recitation of the Arabic prayer was offered by him who guaranteed all from his place.

After the prayer is finished.

"Together we would like to thank Archila for this treatise!"

"Thank you Archila!" exclaiming all who were greeted by boisterous applause made Archi blush in embarrassment and also very happy.

They scooped up their own food and enjoyed their meals.

Meanwhile Archi approached Ridwan who was standing not far from the end of the buffet table.

"Sir Ridwan," said Archi. The tall Ridwan leaned over slightly to bring his ears closer to Archi's face due to the noise of the music and the sounds of the people blocking his hearing.

"Why Archi?" tanyakanya.

"Where should I pay for all this?" ask Archi. "I want to ask you how much do I need to pay?"

"Oh.." answered Ridwan briefly and re-enforced his body. Like a little boy Archi tugged at Ridwan's suit sleeve.

"Sir!" call frustration.

Ridwan laughed mockingly,

"Hahaha.if you want to pay, pay it to me" replied Ridwan.

"Cock to Mr Ridwan?" tanya Archi was confused.

"Because I paid for this. I'm the one who rented it for your birthday!" answer lightly.

Archi was flabbergasted by this surprise. It felt as if he was squeezing, as if the burden hanging down his heart was being pulled out. But he also felt so bad, to celebrate his birthday Ridwan had to spend his personal money which is certainly not small.

"Don't gini sir. I am not good. You call it my nominal later I pay, if I am great," replied Archi who had returned to his consciousness.

"No need for Archi. What makes them sure was me, when you paid." he said.

"But sir..."

"That's okay, let's eat!" invite her to put her hand on Archi's shoulder and point it at the buffet table.

"Oh my God, I'm not feeling good. He made a lot of money for my birthday. Yes, even if I'm not asking. But still, when I lied to him, how if he knew I was married, he would be disappointed." Archi took the food with a blank look. His face grimaced later.

After the meal was over, they went home. Ridwan drove Archi home in his car.

"Sir, thank you very much for the birthday celebration" Archi said while in the car.

Ridwan smiled, "my pleasure," he replied warmly. Makes the inner Archi more sad.

"I'll take a bite to eat" Pinta Archi said.

"No need for Archi. Don't call me sir, there are no co-workers, either,"

After thinking and weighing in his heart and mind, Archi finally tried to dare to reveal his status which is now married. Archi does not want to continue to be haunted by guilt because he feels that he has lied to Ridwan who continues to be very kind to him.

With a thumping heart and fear, Archi tried to reveal it, too,

"Yes. Ridwan...,"

Can Archi tell the truth? Then how will Ridwan accept it? What will happen in the next episode?
