Sorry your Husband I Borrowed
Birthday Gift

I always hope that, in my special birthday, there is someone special, giving me a special gift. But, it was just my delusion, all this time. Wishing it, will only make the heart disappointed.

Expecting from Mas Arga? Impossible.

What about Boss Robert? I wish the same thing. But, again it's a fairy tale or a dream in broad daylight! Impossible happened!

''No one cares. Thank you for the chance to live up to this moment. Happy Birthday to yourself!''

I wrote that sentence on my whatsapp status. As always, the first person to always read status in WA was me, none other than Boss Robert.

''Ehem.

''I care the most, Mami. I miss your cooking.' Mi, she said trying to cheer me up.

But, I protested directly.

''Careful what. No birthday is given.''

''Ooooooooo. So that's the problem, Mi. Say dong. I'll give you a gift later said Boss Robert promised me.

''Ah! Lies. Yesterday I wanted a surprise. But, lies. I forgot that I was on my birthday. No one really cares, I complained, via chat.

''Yes already...what do you ask, Mi?'' tanyanya, still through chat.

''Stale!'' reply me by affixing emoticons of angry people's faces.

''Don't that's how Mi is. I don't remember at all that Mami's birthday today.'' he said to me.

He immediately video calls me.

Still disappointed, I had no interest in picking up the video call.

''You, why, baby. Sorry father. Actually I don't remember that Mami was birthday today, '' he said again.

***

To treat my disappointment, I finally invited Fira to eat KFC. He was also excited not to play. Especially when eating ice cream. He really looks cheerful.

''Mami, today is my birthday, so I want to buy Fira, '' I said to Fira.

''Mi, why did Arga's father never take a walk Fira.'' protested.

''O Allah, question him, slap hard for me. I feel like I sinned with Fira. Because I was avoiding the road with Mas Arga.

''Mi.besok take Arga's father, yuk, the way to the mall,'' he said his wish.

''Arga's father is busy, baby. Later if we take a walk, Arga's father's work can fall apart.'' I said trying to give Fira understanding.

''It was so busy, Mi, '' she asked me.

''My dear, Arga's father is busy working in the office. Later, the money to buy maem Fira, '' I added again.

He saw me shut up, playing with his phone.

Inwardly, I felt deeply, fortunately my daughter was still a child. If he was a teenager, he would be very angry with Mas Arga. Because of the togetherness of Mas Arga and Fira, it is very rare. In fact, you could say almost never go together.

To be honest, I never forced Mas Arga to make time for me and Fira. All of that, lasted for a dozen years.

Even if Mas Arga invites the road, most Fira invited to walk. I, can only swallow my disappointment, because Mas Arga was never interested in taking my path.

''Later, if Fira's birthday, what would Fira say?'' my many.

He immediately said he wanted to ask for a gift with a good father (Bos Robert). He said, the good father, a lot of money and not stingy. Whatever Fira asks, it will be bought.

''Why should his mind go to Boss Robert? Wonder me.'' I murmured.

''Fira, Mami asked. Fira dear where, between Arga's father or good father?'' I was curious to wait for the answer.

''Good father.'' he replied innocently.

Oh my God.. My little girl why would you prefer Boss Robert? In fact, he also felt a match for Boss Robert.

I also remember, Boss Robert said, Fira was already considered his own daughter.

''Fira does want to ask what is the same good father, if birthday?''

''Bonneka barby.'' he said.

''Waduh.kan already a lot, dear barby doll at home.'' said I advise him.

''Or we buy a piggy bank with barby yuk's picture. Let Fira learn nabung ya. Later if the savings have been a lot, just bought a barby doll.'' call me teach him to frugally.

I also reminded Fira, to get something that we want, can not ask for another person. But, try it yourself.

''The way, Fira has to save.'' I said, letting him.

''Mau Mi...purchase a piggy bank image barby.'' he replied excitedly.

''Later, his piggy bank pointed it at good father huh.'' I said whispering to him.

Fira nodded her head, a sign she understood what I was saying.

''Wuih is really cool Mami's daughter this one, '' my praise, to Fira.

''Yes, anyway from now on Fira must be diligent in saving ya. Then later if you want to go to elementary school, you can buy uniforms, bags, book shoes. Great right..if you can buy school needs, with money piggy bank.'' I said trying to give an explanation to Fira, so that he is more eager to learn to save.

***

In the supermarket rows of shelves of various piggy banks. I saw a piggy bank of barby pictures that Fira wanted. Without thinking, I took the piggy bank and offered it to him.

''It's a darling, the piggy bank is good right. Fira asked for a picture of barby.'' I said to her.

He agreed with my choice.

In the piggy bank, in addition to the barby, there is a writing number of 2 thousands, to a total of three hundred thousands.

''Here, baby. You will learn to save two thousand a day. If the money has been put in the piggy bank, crossed out the number two thousand in this first box.'' I said teaching him to understand the piggy bank.

***

Waking up, Fira picked up her piggy bank, then put a piece of money two thousand into her new piggy bank.

Then, before I left for work, he showed it to me.

''Mi see this, '' he said as he shook his piggy bank.

''Yes, after it is filled, do not forget to do the first box, '' I said reminding him.

''Yes, Mi. Okay!'' saith.

''So, since Fira has a piggy bank, it is mandatory to mourn Nak.''

''Yes, Mi.''

''Certainly, ngak can snack haphazardly huh.'' I said again reminding.

''T-shirt, if Fira's piggy bank is full, buy more piggy bank yes. Nabungnya little by little, later it will become a hill.''

''Mi, may not video call the same father well.'' his door and make my heart beat. Luckily, Arga went to the office. So also Bik Inah has not come. He, come at 08.00 wib, back at 17.00 wib.

''Yes, here, but for a moment. Mami wants to go to the office.'' I said give an excuse to Fira.

I know, Boss Robert is already in the office, at 07:30 wib.

Not used for long, my video call, he immediately picked up.

''Sira would say, five minutes.'' I said as Boss Robert had received my video call.

''Uh, daughter's good father, early in the morning phone. Why these. Must miss ya, want to walk?'' tanyanya to the point to Fira.

Fira shamelessly, immediately showed his new piggy bank.

''Good dad, Fira has a new piggy bank, '' the story is spoiled, on Boss Robert.

''Wow.hebat dong. Learn saving. Later, if we have a lot, we go for a walk....!'' exclaim Boss Robert.

''Later if the piggy bank Fira has a lot, said Mami, want to buy uniforms, shoes, bags and books. Fira is next year, has entered first grade elementary school.'' he explained without pause.

''Hmmm. Yes already, baby. Later if the good father is not busy, we go with Mami, eat KFC and buy ice cream, said Boss Robert promised Fira.

''OKAY. Okay, good father.'' replied Fira.

My phone I took over. He was straight away angry.

''Don't go around Manjain Fira. Because it is not good for his development.'' my protest.

''I love you. I wait in the office, he said, closing his phone.

''Damnit. Not done talking, he's run away. Just watch out later I hit him in the office.'' I murmured annoyed.

I really don't want to see Fira grow up as a spoiled girl. I want her to grow up to be an independent, responsible and resilient girl, in all situations. If everything he wants, is presented directly in front of him, to me, it is not educational at all.

''How many times do I have to tell you. Don't put my child with luxury.'' I said through chat.

He just read it. Without replying. Because of my emotions, I just turned off my phone, so Boss Robert was confused when he called me.

''It's a punishment for him.''

''Winona, don't fight!'' my mummy speaks for itself.

Unable to contact him, he immediately asked Fitri, to call me, to come to his study. Not wanting to make a fuss, I was forced to fulfill his call.

''Don't be weird Mi. Here's your phone why don't you activate it. Just chatted with me, you turned off the mobile data.'' protested Boss Robert.

''I love dong. Want me to turn it off or I turn on the cellular data. Not the boss's business, I said put on a cute face.

''It's my business because you're my subordinate. You want to fight the boss?'' threaten her.

I finally got out of Boss Robert's office. Because, the time has shown at 09.00 wib. If you fight in the room with the boss, it will definitely go viral on social media. Smear me!

''Hey..I haven't finished talking!'' snapped it. But, I did not care and continued to leave, in order to avoid a more uproar.(connected)
