So Stepmom Son Ceo
Chapter 20 - Birthday

“Mama stops here only,” Interrupts Shazia who is riding his motorbike.

Shazia immediately stopped his motorbike and pulled over to the side of the road, he stared at the surroundings, how the mansions with their distinctive architecture made the woman's mouth gap.

“That's great, yes, the houses here, definitely need a lot of money to make it,” Shazia murmured.

“Mama,”

Zihan's call made Shazia wake up from her daydream. “Yes, what's wrong with Zihan? Why are you asking mom to stop here?”

“We have arrived in front of my house, Mama.”

“Oh, really, alright now go to your house my son, it is already late at night, you will be scolded by your Papa later.”

Zihan chuckled, “Yes, mama,” while waving his hand at Shazia.

Shazia waved back as a sign of farewell, she smiled towards Zihan who had crossed over. The woman stared blankly at the departure of Zihan who had entered her yard, after a guard opened the fence.

Why does it feel like I don't want you to be away from me, Zihan, like this is how a mother feels about her child. Shaziah.

“Eh, this is so painful!” whinek Shazia while hitting his chest.

Somewhat long Shazia looked at the mansion in front of her, the mansion belonging to the Savas family made her heart waver. Moreover, the house is bigger than the house around it.

“They are really a very rich family,”

Shazia let out a long sigh, “If one day Mr Taran gets married, will they still allow Zihan to go to my restaurant?”

“Ah, if you were a child from the streets, I would have adopted you Zihan.”

The girl who felt inferior started riding her bike and left there with a sad face. Shazia had no idea that someone was watching her from a distance, yes, it was Derya Selim Savas, a grandfather who was very curious about the woman close to his granddaughter.

When the old man saw Shazia delivering Zihan, his eyes sparkled as if he had gotten what he wanted.

“She's the right girl.”

Derya called her personal servant. “Ya, Sir, what's up?” ask the waiter.

“Can you find information from the girl who drove my granddaughter Zihan?”

“Good, Sir. That's my expertise, tomorrow I will give you the report.”

“Alright, I hope you keep your promise.”

The servant nodded and then stood behind the master.

“Shazia slightly shifted to the left!” aynur orders Shazia to bind the balloon.

“Like this?”

“Ya, it's fitting.”

“Aynur you don't just rule, let's help me bring a bowl of soup and other food.” Pinta Cemile is one of Shazia's employees.

“Isn't there Ceyda and Fusun aunty who helped you Cemile?”

“They are both busy arranging the cake, if I expect them then there we will be late.”

“Alright Cemile I will help you,” reply Aynur with a slightly lazy tone.

When the two go to the kitchen, Shazia asks Esra and Gona to replace Aynur to see the decorations he made.

“Esra, Gona see if it's perfect?”

“Ya, for the theme of parents like uncle Olive, it's already very perfect big brother,” reply Esra.

“Kakak, is today our restaurant closed?” ask Gona.

“Yes, especially today our restaurant will close, we will celebrate my father's birthday today.”

In the midst of their busy lives, Zihan came, which of course made the whole room surprised because he thought he was Erhan.

“Mama what are you doing?” ask the boy as he walks closer to Shazia.

“Oh, Zihan apparently you, today Olive's grandfather is birthday, mama and the others intend to celebrate,” Shazia reply that began to come down from the bench where she stood.

“Really! My grandfather also had a birthday today, which is why I came here to prepare a surprise.”

“Wah really a coincidence they can have a birthday on the same day, indeed Zihan want to make what for a surprise?”

“Actually I want to make a cake with the help of mama, but mama and the others are busy, I will ask uncle to order it somewhere else.”

“No need, if Zihan really wants to make a cake for grandpa, mama will help.”

“Really!”

“Yes, now go upstairs, put your bag there.”

Zihan nodded as he immediately ran away.

The people who started to gather in the middle of the room shifted some tables and arranged the dishes. The employees of Shazia are really enterprising people, they always work together to get things done quickly.

“Hm, sorry if my question is not polite, but did not Zihan always call sister with the name aunt why now change?” ask Cemile.

“Yes, we were wondering if there was a story behind it?” asked Ceyda.

“You seem very curious. Yes, actually the son of a distant relative of this father has long lost his mother, because now he is very close to me, Zihan asked if he could call me by the name of mama and I agreed.”

“Oh, so. But indeed you are exactly mother and child,” said Fusun.

“Alright our preparation is done, now is the time for us to wait for the target to come,”, Aynur announced.

They were all preparing in their respective positions with Shazia standing in the middle holding a cake, Zihan who had come down also did not want to miss, the boy immediately stood near Shazia.

Before long the awaited Target had arrived, Erhan seemed to tidy up his suit as usual and walked into the restaurant, how shocked he was when everyone shouted at him with congratulations.

“Gosh, it seems you really want to make this old man hang,” Erhan said as he stroked his chest.

Erhan's words instead of being fearful made Shazia and her employees laugh.

“Yes, our plan was successfully executed. Come dad now blow first the lily just commented,” reply Aynur.

“Iya uncle, we can't wait to taste the cake,” added Fusun chimed

Erhan who could not hide his pleasure was blowing a candle in the form of the number 58.

“It doesn't feel like 2 more years I'm 60 years old Shazia, ah how old dad is.”

“Daddy, why are you so sad? look at the dishes waiting to be eaten. Let's eat now!” Take Shazia.

At the table that had been combined, they all ate together enjoying the dishes made, the atmosphere was quite warm and none of them felt sad on that happy day.

“Grandfather Olive happy birthday to you,” said Zihan congratulated.

Erhan chuckles “Ya, Son, thank you. Now eat your food, don't just look at me like that.”

“And to all of you thank you for celebrating this day of my birth, may Allah repay your kindness. And also for you my daughter Shazia, I hope you soon find your happiness and have a family.”

At the same time, Derya and his wife were in the car to go to an event. They looked harmonious with after ash-colored clothes.

“Defne what date is it today?”

“Date 10, isn't today your birthday?” ask Defne.

Derya sighed, “Even remembering my birth date I can't Defne, how senile I am now.”

“Defne on my birthday, I can only hope that God will bring someone to our family, someone who can fill the void as a mother figure for our grandchildren.”
