Today Faralyn is exactly 5 years old where Kelana and Renjani wait for the moment to tell Renjani's pregnancy. At the idea of the Hero, they held a birthday party in the apartment park by inviting Faralyn's schoolmates. The hero held the party because Faralyn had performed amazingly for the first time in front of everyone. Wira was very happy and proud of Faralyn, he wanted to prove his happiness by throwing a party for Faralyn. If in the past Wira educated Kelana so hard that Kelana hated him, this time Wira wanted to treat Faralyn with affection. They don't want to repeat their mistakes in the past. Although it made Valia feel envious but now for Wira—Faralyn is his priority.
"It's so beautiful Mom's son." Renjani pinned the flower crown on Faralyn's head as the final touch of her birthday outfit today. The years before Kelana and Renjani only took Faralyn out to eat and buy the things Faralyn wanted or go to the orphanage to share the needs of the children there. This is Faralyn's first birthday party, and it's because the Wira wants to hold it.
"Because Mom's pretty." Faralyn's little hand touched the mother's cheek. "Papa's good."
"Milk?" Renjani's eyes widened, according to him Kelana is the most handsome man he has ever known, really.
Faralyn nodded.
"Don't till Papa's horrified." Renjani Whisper. "Absolutely according to Fara, is there anything more handsome than Papa?"
"There's Mom."
"Who?"
"Om Devin." Faralyn whispered.
"Sshhh don't let Papa be horrified." Renjani placed her index finger on Faralyn's lips.
Faralyn giggled holding back laughter. Maybe because Devin is younger, he looks more handsome than Kelana. Though according to Renjani, Kelana is still the most handsome.
Renjani stared fixed Faralyn, physical Faralyn is similar to Renjani but the exact nature of Kelana. Though Renjani never read an article that says if the father will degrade the physical form while the nature is passed down by the mother. Faralyn gets the opposite.
"Fara Seneng did not celebrate the birthday party of kayak gini?"
"I'd rather go with Mom and Papa and keep playing with brother and sister in the parlour."
"Tomorrow we go to the orphanage, now we meet together, we also have to appreciate Opa who has made this event for you."
"Yes, Mom." Faralyn is also happy with this party, only she does not want to miss going to the orphanage on her birthday. Faralyn was able to meet many friends at the orphanage.
Faralyn's schoolmates have gathered in the park, which has also been decorated with pink balloons.
"Opa's granddaughter is so pretty." The hero greeted Faralyn and carried her, "who loves the flower crown?"
"Mother."
"You are beautiful in any way." The hero dropped Faralyn right behind the table with the birthday cake on it. The three-tiered cake is white with a little girl figure dancing ballet on it. It was the cake of Ratih's choice and was directly approved by Faralyn.
Birthday songs sung together by children who surround the table, they sing cheerfully and loudly transmit happiness to adults. Children laugh for simple reasons or even for no reason.
"Blow the candle blow the candle blow the candle now right now."
Faralyn blew the number 5 candle on the cake to a standing ovation by the others. Faralyn assisted Renjani cut the cake and gave it to Wira and Ratih while the second piece to Renjani and Kelana. Afterwards they sat in the chairs that had been provided and ate together.
"Mom has a gift for you." Renjani gave Faralyn a small gift box.
Faralyn sparkled to receive the box, she tried to guess the contents in it. Usually Renjani and Kelana give dolls, music boxes or clips of Faralyn's favorite.
A photograph of USG pokes up when Faralyn opens the box in her hand, "this is what Mom?"
"You pregnant?" Ratih turned to see the photo USG, between disbelief and pleasure because he and Wira will get a second grandson.
"Yes Ma."
"This is a picture of my sister, ma'am?" Faralyn finally got an answer, she sparkled to observe a photo that actually did not look like a baby. Just a little white dot. Faralyn couldn't wait to see her sister come out of her mother's stomach. This is the most beautiful gift Faralyn has ever received compared to chocolate, dolls or clasps. A gift that will be with Faralyn for life.
"Congratulations." Wira hugs Renjani over the pregnancy of her second child, she also congratulates Kelana. "Papa only has you and Valia, but you can have Faralyn and her sisters."
"I'll make three kids." Kelana said confidently, he was only joking because the number of children is fully entitled Renjani. Kelana does not want to determine it because Renjani who will get pregnant with their child and breastfeed him.
"Don't run away again this time." The hero pretended to say in a threatening tone.
"I'm not going to run away, Pa, not at all." Renjani has put her trust in Kelana especially after meeting Elara a few days ago and knowing that Elara is married.
"If you want to run away, you better run away to the house, Papa will be angry Kelana."
Renjani laughed, shouldn't a father defend his son not his son-in-law. But the hero is not so, he will defend whoever is right.
"May according to your wishes, man." Bisik Kelana while embracing the waist of Renjani from the side.
They have consulted with doctors to get boys, ranging from calculating the fertile period, the position of copulation to the food consumed. But now whatever the sex of the child in the womb Renjani, they are not too hostile, the most important thing is that both of them have tried their best.
******
The next day, as promised by Renjani, he invites Faralyn to visit the orphanage that was once Yana's residence. They have been visiting the home since Faralyn was 1 year old. The idea of commemorating Faralyn's birthday by eating with the children of the orphanage comes from Kelana. They wanted to teach Faralyn to share with others early on.
"Sir Adam said that there are many brands that offer cooperation with Fara." Kelana showed Adam's message to Renjani on her phone.
"Suddenly?" Renjani took over Kelana's phone.
"Maybe because yesterday you posted a photo of Fara wearing her birthday dress."
"Ah deserves a lot of official account comments on the photo." Starting from clothing brands to food commenting on Faralyn's photo on her birthday yesterday. Though Renjani often post photos of Faralyn before. "It's just a regular photo."
"You think Fara fits in as a model?"
Renjani shook her head, if she could ask, then she did not want Faralyn to plunge into the world of entertainment like Kelana.
Faralyn had already run ahead of Kelana and Renjani approached the children waiting for them in front of the fence.
"okay." Although Renjani did not want that, he still had to ask Faralyn. Renjani can't overcome Faralyn's wishes as long as it's good.
"How are you, ma'am? Kelana greeted the caretaker who also welcomed them.
They handed over large parcels of food supplies to the children in the parlour. They usually cook and eat together. Renjani also brought some clothes and books for them.
"Everything is good, you always bring a lot of stuff when I say many times if you want to come here do not need to bring something."
"It's okay, ma'am, it's a book Fara hasn't read." Renjani Sahut.
Two caretakers take over a large plastic bag in Renjani's hands and Kelana takes it inside.
Meanwhile Kelana and Renjani notice Faralyn running in the front yard of the home with the children. Faralyn laughs cheerfully which is contagious on Renjani and Kelana.
"Our son is big." Kelana muttered, when yesterday they celebrated Faralyn's birthday he only realized that the baby who used to only cry now has grown big. Kelana still remembers when he and Renjani had a storm because they had to change Faralyn's diaper in the middle of the night. Funny little fights if remembered.
"He looks just like you." Renjani glanced at Kelana, "his nature."
"What is my nature?"
"Jutek if the same people you don't like, like music and always plan things in detail, Fara now starts writing her own schedule, Fara said, a kid his age already has a to do list that is recorded every day."
Later chuckling, he did teach Faralyn to prepare everything carefully from the simplest such daily activities.
"His teacher at school said that Fara was jutek but look now, she's even laughing at the kids." Renjani casts a glance at the Faralyn.
"You're right, baby."
"Let's put those books together." Renjani pulls Kelana to the library of the orphanage they have memorized.
The home library is not very large but has a large collection of children's books to teenagers thanks to donations from donors. Renjani also often brings new and used books that are still worth reading and keep them in the library.
"You still scared?" Renjani took out one book at a time from the plastic bag.
"Not really."
"I'm sure you can fight that trauma."
"Mama's shadow burned with the books still stuck in my mind." Kelana's movement composing books on the shelf slowed down.
"Pa," Renjani takes over the book in Kelana's hands, "look at me." He held both hands of Kelana. "Every time you look at these shelves you have to remember that that's where you found me, the strange events that forced us to get married."
"Remember that's where you found the woman who's now your wife, the woman you love, the woman who's now pregnant with your child." Renjani lowers Kelana's hand towards her stomach which is still flat.
"In the middle of the bookshelves you find happiness, throw away those bad memories, you can only remember good memories."
The corner of Kelana's lips lifted to form a sweet smile. If Kelana can hypnotize people with her violin game then Renjani can do that with her sentence. That's the advantage that fans of romantic novels have, good at stringing words.
"You and I also have sweet memories, ride a reanglala and go to a garden full of flowers."
"Thank you Re." Kelana hugs Renjani, she, if not for Renjani maybe Kelana will only remember those bad memories for the rest of her life when they also have good times that used to be present—although for a while but it all feels valuable because now Kelana unable to see her mother.
They never thought the marriage would last more than a year. Day by day they had to swallow the fact that the feelings of the two began to change. From not knowing each other, not liking to be dependent and reluctant to lose.
The story of their meeting can not be called beautiful, it is precisely for Kelana that the thing that made him unlucky when his name was first plastered on various gossip accounts. One thing Kelana realized was that the presence of Renjani made her life feel different. Renjani is the first to care about Kelana's feelings, whether Kelana is happy living such a life that even she herself does not care. Renjani teaches Kelana that happiness can be achieved with simple things, such as riding a bianglala or eating rice sitting in a roadside stall.
Renjani also broke Kelana's grand plans including her pregnancy. But now Faralyn is Kelana's greatest happiness, a happiness she would never have had if there were no Renjani.
"Yet on." Renjani unravels the embrace with a heavy heart because they have to continue compiling the book.
"Why what?" Kelana saw Renjani get on the chair.
"You put the book down." Renjani wants to put the book on the top shelf, actually the shelf is not too high but still Renjani can not reach it, the base is indeed a short body.
"That's high let me just."
"Nothing, it used to be even higher than this."
"Let me go, come down." Kelana pulled Renjani by force.
"Gee!" Renjani screeches when she almost falls but fortunately Kelana catches her deftly. But Kelana accidentally dropped themselves in the middle of a pile of books.
Rejani frozen for a while, he was like brought to the past few years ago when he first saw Kelana's face from a very close distance. Even Renjani can smell coffee from the mouth of Kelana. His position was more or less as it is now. The difference is not the smell of coffee but vanilla milk because Faralyn did not spend her milk and gave it to Kelana. The aroma of milk combines with lavender, sandalwood and ginger from the body of Kelana.
After a few seconds of silence while their eyes were locked, the two of them then laughed realizing this position reminded them of the ridiculous incident that ended the marriage.
"Are you okay?" Instead of waking up, Kelana actually pulled the head of Renjani and held it.
"You're a good catcher."
They enjoyed the position, accompanied by a pile of books that also gave off a distinctive aroma. The aroma they like, Renjani and Kelana are both book lovers and both are met in a place with many books in it. He said we'd find a soul mate where we'd often be.
