Rapa & Cleona: Keeping the Heart
53. Happy Birthday's

"Happy Birthday dear Rapa,” said the beautiful figure in front of Rapa.

Many times Rapa rubbed her eyes to make sure that what she saw was indeed real. Her queen was in front of her with a birthday cake in her hand. The light from the candle made the girl's pretty smile look even more extraordinary and Rapa really couldn't believe all this.

“Don't wake me from this beautiful dream Lord.” Rapa muttered while slapping her cheeks several times. Making Cleona who was in front of him smile amusedly.

“This is not a dream, dear brother,” said Cleona softly, along with all the lights that light up and one by one people enter while singing happy birthday song.

The mother, father and papa walked over with a happy smile engraved on the corner of each lip, followed by Clara and Laura carrying a bouquet of flowers that are so beautiful, so beautiful, then his friends and Alvin with Freya took part in it, surrounding Rapa and Cleona who were still maintaining her smile, still holding a birthday cake with a lit 23rd figure candle.

Blow out the candle

Blow the candle right now

Now either...

Now either...

With a smile that could no longer be in his possession, Rapa closed her eyes for a while before blowing out the candle, which unfortunately did not want to be extinguished. Making Rapa upset and finally pulled the wax figure and dropped it on the floor then he stepped on with so much annoyance, making everyone who was there, watching laugh because of it.

“Who would dare choose such a kayak candle? My intention is to know me!” rapa's snort was upset.

“Gue, why? Dare to lo?” Leo took a step forward with his song face. Rapa did not retaliate, and only gave a sharp delicacy of his laziness.

“Not today Queen's wedding?” rapa asked the beautiful woman in front of him, her forehead wrinkled, indicating that she was confused at this time.

Cleona first handed the cake in her hand to Lyra, before then answering, “Queen no one has applied yet, so do not know when the wedding.”

“Not it..”.

“Sister Alvin did want to marry, but not the same Queen. She had her bride,” Cleona said, pointing to the beautiful woman beside Alvin.

“Continue the invitation you received?” the question is still in confusion.

Cleona smiled, then turned to Lyra. “It was deliberately made mother special for brother.”

“So .. shit I'm at work!” rapa exclaimed as he thrust into the air.

Everyone there laughed and it made Rapa even more upset. But he cannot deny that he is really happy, because the Queen he can still have.

“How are you feeling now, Bang?" clara asked, raising her eyebrows.

“K Regret! But ... I'm happy,” he said smiling widely and instantly pulled Cleona into his arms, also floated a kiss on the top of the girl's head that made Leo react horribly like grandparents fire beard. And again everything in the spacious room laughed, muddying the atmosphere.

“Ekhem!” hearing the sound of deheman from the loudspeaker made everyone turn to the stage, where Pandu was standing with his handsome face accompanied by his wife who was in the afternoon performing gracefully, with a beautiful appearance, also the handsome Leo with a happy twinkle in his pair of eyes came following.

“First of all I welcome for the invited guests to sit in the place we have provided, sorry for making all the waiting too long, so, and thank you to all of you who are willing to attend to our invitation as the owner of the event ..”

Pandu paused his words for a moment until all the invited guests sat in his place as well as Rapa who did not let Cleona off her possessive embrace.

“For our son, Rapa Pratama Dhikra. Happy birthday, Bang, may you be a better person again, be a tough and responsible man, mature and successful again for the future" Pandu said with a proud smile towards Rapa. "Today, in addition to our son's 23rd birthday, is also the engagement day between Rapa and Queen, our beloved daughter. For the two of you, I'd like you to take the stage.”

With a feeling that was still hard to believe, Rapa got up from her seat. Grab Cleona's hand and take the girl up the stage to join their parents. The sound of applause rang out, and the screams from the table filled with his friends rang out, making Rapa's smile engraved with a wide cloak.

Lyra handed me a red velvet box containing a pair of white gold rings with a simple, but beautiful design. And after getting instructions for him to pin the round object on Cleona's ring finger, Rapa shakily did so, alternating with Cleona who pinned a ring larger than hers on Rapa's ring finger, then the two looked at each other with smiles.

Rapa grabbed both of Cleona's hands giving a soft squeeze on the wiggly fingers, then brought her closer to her lips and gave a gentle kiss just where the new ring was located, then bring the girl into his warm embrace.

That happiness cannot be hidden and the words of gratitude continue to be said in his heart to the Almighty. Rapa was really happy right now, and so happy she was so speechless, only tears and smiles represented all her happiness now.

Without saying anything Rapa took over the mic from her father's hand, and brought Cleona to sit on the chair that was on the stage, take a guitar that stands next to the sound system and then sit next to the woman who has just become her fiance. Rapa started strumming the guitar strings on her lap which let out a soft melody and started chanting her beautiful voice, with eyes fixed on Cleona who happened to be today wearing a knee-length white dress that made Cleona's beauty multiply many times.

Not sure if you know this but when we first met

I got so nervouse, I couldn’t speak

In that very moment, I found the one and

My life hed found its missing piece

So as long as I live I’ love you, will have and hold you

You look so beautiful in white

And from now ‘til my very last breath, this day I’ll cherish

You look so beautiful in white today

What we have is timeless my love is endless

and with this ring I say to the world

You’re my every reason, you’re all that I believe

With all my heart I mean every word

Rapa unceasingly stared at the beautiful face of Cleona who was currently met red with a look of love and admiration, as well as a happy look that she could not hide. This song may indeed be suitable for expressing Rapa's feelings for Cleona.

So as long as I live I’ love you, will have and hold you

You look so beautiful in white

And from now ‘til my very last breath, this day I’ll cherish

You look so beautiful in white today

Ohh... You look so beautiful in white

Na na na na na... So beautiful in white today

Rapa ended the song with a sweet smile and a long kiss on the fiancee's forehead that had shed tears.
