Our Story: The Sudden Chancellery
S2 - Epilogue

"Happy birthday to you ... Happy birthday to you ..."

The singing of a group of people filled the back garden of a large house.

After that, some children were running cheerfully after the cake cutting event. There's Briana, Geraldo, Gemini and Jason-the son of Felix. They came here with their parents, visited a little girl who was just 7 years old.

Although they are very rich, Viani does not want this birthday to be a treasure show. He just wants to be with his closest friends and family.

"My new guy came" Alvin appeared with his wife-Anita, and a 5-year-old boy named Arnold, who was no less. The little family carried a gift in a large box that drew people's attention.

"Lo bring what the hell? Don't be weird!" gertak Vincent was suspicious of the box object.

Alvin's just a whimper like a madman. Every year, the famous youtuber gives a strange birthday gift to Vincent's son. Last year, the man gave a boxing bag to Vincent's son, because he said Vincent was often angry. I don't know what this year the man was going to buy.

"Sstt, honey," Anita pulled Alvin's arm and whispered. "Rakin not to exchange as much Wawan with Jihan? You like weird, the card time is called anyway?" he said referring to gifts with plain pink paper that became the wrapper.

"I'm sure not," said Alvin reassured his wife. "So the card I put in the car. No one's gonna take it."

For some reason, Anita felt unsure of the words of Alvin at that time. They try to enjoy a children's party that looks very festive.

There is cupcake tower, chocolate fountain with a variety of wry fruits such as kiwi, strawberries and cheri. Not to mention the pinata hanging in the back, looks so shiny in the eyes of children who are thirsty for sugar and wait for their bodies hit by sugar rush.

"See Valerie?" viani asked in confusion as the children were enjoying a free event.

"No, no" replied Anita. The young mother immediately looked out for Arnold who also happened to like disappearing if she was with Valerie. "Jeez, Arnold doesn't exist either!"

Hurriedly, the two young mothers search for Arnold and Valerie, accompanied by Alvin. Vincent was playing pinata with the other kids.

"Where the hell is that Arnold?! Watch out when you meet! I'll-"

The sentence was cut off suddenly when Alvin's mouth was gaping, even with Viani's eyes glaring big at a boy playing with swords with a strange object in his head. Followed by a girl who ran with a similar thing. That's two spiked punk models they just pulled out of the same box.

Alvin turned to his car and immediately saw that the car was open with the key of the car still hanging from the key house.

On the other end, Vincent is looking for Valerie. Alvin hurriedly chased after their son. But late. There was Viani who had growled angrily, not only at Arnold, but also at her own son who was already wearing the bra on his chest.

"VALERIEEE!!"

Valerie and Arnold's bodies stiffened with fear. Alvin immediately released the objects he had just taken to the Wawan house in North Jakarta, as their anniversary gift. The two boys ran away and played again.

"That's a real mess?!" viani snaps at Alvin. "Thankfully Vincent didn't see!"

"Yes maap! How do I know if my son will open my car to take that gift!"

Upset, Viani clenched her hands and punched Alvin's shoulder in annoyance until the man squeaked and rubbed his painful shoulder.

"Aw! It hurts! About dong Vi!"

Viani growled with a grit of her teeth, about to hit Alvin again. But his steps came to a halt as a hand coiled around his waist. The familiar fragrance that was so masculine it tickled her nose that she turned her head.

At the height of the afternoon sun, Vincent's face seemed to glow gently. His body shape is not sturdy but quite athletic, making Viani stunned at the figure so beautiful. The man gets more charming as he gets older.

Not only Viani, Vincent felt the same way.

The body that used to be fat, now shrinks a little. So full and fresh. There is no creature more beautiful than the figure of Viani, the woman he loved from High School until now. Years passed, not making Vincent's love for Viani less.

The woman is perfect.

"Mosquito!!" muttered Alvin while away from the couple.

No one heard their friend's complaint. Their eyes were still adrift with each other. Vincent immediately brought Viani to sit by the pool, making the woman's head lean on her chest.

"Valerie is very happy, yes" said Vincent.

Viani's eyes were wide. He turned to Valerie who was still sitting alone with Arnold while in Alvin's trial with a pias face. Hopefully Vincent is not aware of Valerie and Arnold's behavior today.

"Of course! Our lives are perfect." Viani leaned back against Vincent's chest, distracting the man from their angry son. Then Indra came and took Valerie's hand back to her party. Thank goodness the girl came back cheerful.

They were long silent in silence. Vincent's hand still rubbed the tops of his wife's head and occasionally kissed her gently.

"Tonight I'm going somewhere. You wanna come?"

The curious soul of Viani instantly thrashed. "Where are you going?"

"You must like it."

...***...

Vincent's smile flinched as he fumbled over an album containing his memories of his nearly eight years of marriage to Viani.

Starting from their photos while still dating, married, pregnant and giving birth.

Valerie's tiny face adds to the happiness that was already in their marriage, even though they had such a difficult start. After Valerie was born, then the photo album was decorated with all the complete family personnel.

Vincent opened the transparent plastic, showing photos of himself and Viani in various places. Cappadocia, Paris, Maldives, Raja Ampat, Labuan Bajo, Bali, Thailand, and a myriad of other honeymoon spots.

Then on the next sheet lined up photos of Valerie starting from the baby until now. A figure that is exactly her, but the female gender. Valerie's grown up, and can do it all by herself.

Then before long, another photo he placed there, on the final sheet. A photo saved on his old phone.

Photos of them while still wearing the high school uniform.

Somehow Vincent was able to get the photo, but he seemed nostalgic at the moment.

Right now he felt the pounding waves of such feelings, just like before. Vincent's heart beats every time he meets Viani. How happy he is when he can prank Viani and when the woman conveys her regret.

And Vincent is grateful for that. Everything that happens in their lives has become God's destiny. Vincent never regretted even though those memories were not good memories.

All the time God has given them is precious. Including at this time.

"Ready?" ask Viani who appeared from the door, to Vincent who was still in their room.

Vincent looked at the figure who was no longer that young. Her face was already a little aging, her white hair started to appear one by one, but it did not reduce her beautiful level at all.

Viani will always be the first most beautiful after Valerie.

"Come, Arnold is waiting in front of the altar! You have to anther Valerie loh!"

With a breath that blows softly, he convinces himself to be able to gather all his mental in order to release his only married daughter. There has been a slight tightness in his chest since.

However, the wife's beautiful smile blew away everything. He's no longer afraid. Arnold is the right man for his son. Steadily, Vincent stood up, returned the photo album and fixed his suit.

"That's handsome, honey!" viani kissed Vincent's jaw.

"I'm old" muttered Vincent, brushing his half-whitened hair.

"Stay handsome really, not lose with Arnold."

Vincent chuckled softly, then took his wife out of the room.

...EXPIRE...

Thank you for reading until now.

Finally, I'm Gala, Gemma, Vincent and Viani resigned. See you at the next work!
