“Happy Birthday Anthony.

“Gadiissss!!!”

“Are you happy? (Are you happy?)”

“Yes Papa”

“.........”

“So much! (Very!). I’m getting more happy now! (I'm getting happier now!)”

“Glad for it (Happy to hear it)”

“Thank you Papa!”

“My pleasure (By pleasure), Anth”

“Now you both can get married in front of me right? (Now you two can get married in front of me right?) ...”

“Haish..”.

“Do you want to marry Papa Putra right Girl?... (You want to marry Papa Putra ya Girl?) ..”

The girl chuckled at Anthony's question without further ado to marry the Son.

“So how is it Girl?... (So how is Girl?).”

“How about if you cut the cake first? (What if you cut your cake first?)..”

The girl persuades Anthony, while simultaneously trying to shift the topic. “Answer first, please (Please, answered first)”

But alas, girls' enticement and diversion on Anthony didn't work. Makes everyone smile amusedly as the Girl then scratches her small head, though it does not itch.

“Hey, Prince.... (Prince)..”.

Son has aligned himself with Anthony.

“It’s already late..so better you cut the cake and give it all to us because we want to taste the delicious birthday cake that your Madre’s made, then you go back to sleep after that”

(It's late . so you better cut the cake and share it with all of us because we want to taste the delicious Madremu birthday cake, and then you go back to sleep afterwards)

Anthony just spontaneously pursed his lips.

“Beside, me and Girl cannot just mary like that .”

(After all, me and Girl can't just get married) ...

“Why?.. (Why?).” Ask Anthony. “Isn’t you love Papa Girl? (Didn't Papa love Girls?) ..”

“I am .. (Yes indeed) .... But ... (But)..”.

“You don’t love Papa, Girl? That’s why you don’t want mary him?”

(You don't love Papa, girl? So that's why you don't want to marry him?)

“Hey chatty Prince (Fussy Prince) ..” Damian. “Better you cut the cake first, you see Pak Abdul and the others?. They’re waiting for you to cut the cake then they can go to take a rest .... (You'd better cut the cake

in the past, you saw it was Mr. Abdul and the others. They are waiting for you to cut a new cake they can go to rest) ..” Damian continued while pointing at Mr. Abdul who was smiling towards them.

“Okay, okay”

Anthony also agreed.

“Good Prince (Good Prince)”

**

Aided by Son, Anthony starts cutting his birthday cake. “Who’s the first one you want to give the cake? (Who would you like to give the cake first?)”

Son say.

“Myself of course! (Of course myself!)”

Anthony stuffed the first piece of cake into his mouth, and made everyone chuckle at him.

Then Anthony cut his birthday cake again and Putra again helped him put one more piece on a small plate.

“Give it to your Madre first (Give it to Madremu first). She’s the one who works very hard to prepare everything for your birthday this time.. (He's the one who works the most to prepare everything for your birthday times

this).”

Anthony nodded with a smile and gave the cake he had cut to Bruna.

“Your Papa supposed to get this cake after you (Your father should have got this cake after you)”

Bruna who had already likened herself to Anthony's height when Anthony approached her and Addison advised Anthony to give the piece of cake to Son first.

“Now I’m confused..... Papa till me to give the cake to Madre, and Madre to give the cake to Papa.. (Now I am confused ... Papa told me to give this cake to Madre, and Madre told me to give this cake to Papa).”.

Anthony scratched his head.

“So it’s better for me (So it's better for me only)”

Damian plucked quickly, cake on the plate Anthony held.

“Daddy Damii ...” Anthony immediately cut up the spoiled Damian who then chuckled after putting the cake in his mouth, followed by a tickle from the others as well.

****

Anthony handed out his birthday cake to everyone he was with at the moment.

Not only the foster parents, but also the girls, but also gave pieces of cake to Danny and Arthur.

Mr. Abdul and four other assistants in Villa also got pieces of cake from Anthony who was given directly by him to the five household assistants of his family.

Making the five workers in the Villa feel moved because they feel considered by their Young Master. Although the five Villa workers were hesitant to accept it, because they felt inappropriate.

But the Son smiled and nodded at them to accept what Anthony gave and did, including Addison, Bruna, Damian and Garret, who are like the Son, encode to receive Anthony's piece of cake.

Rery and Madelaine did teach Anthony well. The two taught Anthony not to distinguish people based on their social status. Anthony understands it well too.

The son also applied the same to her, including Anthony's other four adoptive parents.

“Thank you Muda” Tweet to five Villa house assistants to Anthony in turn after receiving a plate containing a piece of birthday cake from Anthony.

“Te-ri-ma kem-ba-li.”

Anthony replied to the thanks of the five people.

Then Anthony looked at the Son. “Is my answer’s right (What is my answer right), Papa?...”

The son nodded and smiled at Anthony and stood by his side.

Anthony seemed pleased and satisfied, for he remembered the language lessons that the Son had taught him several times, from the land he now lived in.

“Is that present for me? .... (What is a gift for me?)..”.

Anthony pointed to the back of Suheil, where the young man's hand was behind his body by holding a package.

“Engg ...” Suheil smiled clumsily. He understood Anthony's question. Then Suheil rubbed his nape while looking at his parents.

“That one too? .... (That one too?) ...”

Anthony pointed also at the hand of one of the male household assistants named Mr. Tri.

“Engg ...”

Just like Suheil, Mr. Tri also smiled clumsyly.

“Be polyte okay? (Which is polite?)”

“I’m sorry Papa. I see it looks like a present.... (I'm sorry Papa. I see it as a gift).... So I asked if that for me .... (So I asked if it was for me)..”.

“Then ask polyitely, okay?.... (Ask politely, yes?)...”

“Okay, Papa (Yes, Papa) ...” Anthony nodded in understanding.

“I'm sorry Suheil, Mr Tri, what do you hold in your hands it is a gift for Anth?...” The son who took over to ask the two people he called that.

“I, yes Sir ...” Suheil and Mr. Tri replied together.

“Then why don't you guys give it to Anth?”

“We.... shy, Mr...”.

“Why should be ashamed?...”

“Soalya our gift is ugly Tuan” taste

“You are ...” The little smiling son. “Do not say like that..”.

The son looked at the only workers.

“Whatever you give him, I think Anth will gladly accept it”

“So we can give birthday gift for Young Master, Mister?” Ask Abdul a little hesitating.

“Of course can”

The five Villa workers seemed to smile widely later, then the gift that had been given to Anthony, finally given to him.

“Thank you! (Thank you!)”

Anthony looked delighted and smiled widely at the five after receiving two simple wrapped gifts.

“Welkom Young Master ..”

Suheil who replied. Representing the other four who do not understand. While Putra was smiling and the rest who were watching Anthony with their five house assistants were smiling as well.

Then Anthony immediately turned to his four adoptive parents, two uncles and the Girl who had been sitting around with gifts that they had also placed near them all.

“Thank you Mr. Abdul, Mrs Marsih, Suheil, Mr. Tri, Ms. Minah ..”

“We should thank you Sir. Master allowed us to give this little gift to Muda”

“No need to thank for that..”.

The son spoke with his smile to the five people.

“You go rest” Say Son.

“Good Mr...”.

“Let's not wake up too early to prepare our breakfast. If we fall asleep after this as well, we think we will wake up very noon” said Putra.

“Iya Tuan”

“Beautiful Sweater! (Beautiful warm clothes!)”

Anthony's cheerful voice then sounded.

The son and the five workers both turned to Anthony.

Together with Anthony raised a knit sweater that seemed to be handmade then wore it.

“It fit to me! (It fits me!)”

Once again Anthony exclaimed cheerfully.

“Wow a wooden truck! (Wood truck!)”

Anthony who had opened a gift given by his workers again exclaimed cheerfully.

“Aduh, Young Master why open a gift from us first?. So embarrassed right?” Cockroach Mother Marsih.

The other four were bearded while Putra re-said his smile.

“Thank you! .... Eumm .... Te-ri-ma ka-sih ..”

Anthony had approached five of his domestic assistants again with a gift sweater still in use, and brought a wooden toy truck that was a gift from the five people.

“Pak Abdul, Mrs Marsih, Uncle Suheil .... Emm...”

“Pak Tri and Ibu Minah” Sambar Putra, because Anthony did not know the two new servants.

“Pak-Tri and Mother-Minah! ..” Typal Anthony with a beaming. “Te-ri-ma ka-sih, I really like it! (I like it so much!)” Again, Anthony.

“You welkom Young Master Chirps Suheil while grinning and Anthony smiled widely. The rest threw smiles at the friendly boy at them.

“Anth really liked your gift” Say Son. “Thank you huh?”

“Sama-sama Tuan” Say to the limit. “Then we all excuse Tuan”

“Please”

The son nodded kindly.

The five men then bid farewell to go to rest on his other masters, including on the Girl who also showed his hospitality.

**

The son has now joined Anthony who is sitting flanked by Bruna and Girl with Addison, Damian, Garret, and Danny and Arthur who help open up birthday gifts that are quite a lot of it.

The laughter dyed the atmosphere of their chatter that was in Anthony's new room at this time. Damian also continued to take some pictures from his camera. Remember if they do not have a photo together in their new family.

And Damian asks Danny to take a picture of himself with Son, Anthony, Addison, Bruna and Garret, including Girl.

“Where are you going Girl?.. (Where are you going Girl?) ..” Anthony asked as the girls were about to step aside when they were about to take a photo.

“You want to take the .. family picture.. (You want to take.. family photo).”

“Stay at your place”

Son holding Girl.

“But.”

“You stay right where you are, Girl. You part of this family too (You stay in your place Girl, you are also part of this family)” Timpal Addison. And the rest agreed with a nod accompanied by a smile.

“Padre was right Girl .. (Padre True Girl) .. I love them and I love you, so we take the picture together (I love them and I love you, so we take a picture together)” Anthony and the Girl smiled

seraya nodded. Danny also took a picture of a family that looked warm.

The film roll in Damian's camera, spent on printing images of the moment.

Danny and Arthur also did not forget to be invited to take pictures. In addition to the most taken pictures of Anthony. Then one of his adoptive father was photographed together with Anthony, Bruna took pictures with Anthony and Addison who is his partner.

“Now three of you (Now you three) ..” Bruna Says to Son, Anthony and Girl. “Smile Son! (Smiling Son!)” Bruna exclaimed that once because Putra was often minimal expression.

The son snorted amusedly only.

“It’s the picture of happy family okay?.. So smile! (It's a happy family photo okay? .. So smile!)”

Damian chimed in and returned the Son an amused grunt, while Anthony and the Little Girl chuckled.

Damian then smiled after feeling he got a good photo of the three people.

“Papa .. Girls.” Call Anthony.

“Hem?” Putra Sahut.

“Yes, Anthony? ..” The girl also replied.

“Are two of you already in love now?.. (Are you two in love now?) ..”

“Uhuk! Uhuk!” Girl gets choked on her own saliva. ‘Aih, how did a seven-year-old boy not so long ago, already understand love-love??’ Inner Girl.

The son chuckled amusedly at Anthony's words, including the others who were still gathered together in Anthony's new room.

“Papa ever said to me that you already love Girl right? (Papa once told me that Papa already loves Girls right?) ..”

The son of the mangosteen while biting the pastry.

“Have you told Girl? (Have you said that to Girl?).” Ask Anthony.

The son snorted amusedly with Anthony's question.

“Ask her then.. Did I tell her that I love her yet or not? (Ask him.. Have I told her if I love her or not?)”

The son then turned his head and smiled mischievously at the girl who immediately snorted at him.

“Did Papa Told you already Girl? That he loves you.. (Did Papa tell you girl? If he loves you?) ..”

‘Ish! Why discuss it so bluntly like this anyway?’ Grumpy girl in his heart. While his lips smiled awkwardly.

“Jawab Girl.” Say the Son with a tone as well as a soft glance at the Girl. “Answer Anth’s question (Answer's question Anth)”

“No need to be shy with us.. (No need to be shy on you).”

Garret said while whining, making the girl so clumsy.

“Tell me (Tell me), Girl.”

Anthony demands a girl's answer.

The girl finally nodded, as all eyes were looking at her at this moment.

“Really?! (Really?!)”

Anthony looked pleased, and the Girl nodded again.

“Do you accept my Papa?! (Do you accept my Papa?!), Do you love him too?? (Do you love her too??) ..”

“Euumm..”

“Do you? .. (You love Papa?).”

Anthony returned to scout the girl who was now smiling amusedly.

"You love Papa right?! (You love Papa right?!)" Sambar Anthony again.

“Ya I love your Papa too (Yes I love your Papa too).” Saying Girl while nodding.

“Really??!! (Really??!!)”

“Hu’um” Girl nodded again with a smile.

“Thank you Girl I’m so happy! (Thank you Girl I'm so happy!)”

Anthony just hugged the girl with his radiant face. The girl also gave her hug to Anthony who did look happy.

“I also happy if you are happy Anthony (I am also happy if you are happy Anthony).” Said the sincere girl after breaking her embrace to Anthony by gently stroking the boy's head while smilingly looking at him.

“Did all of you hear it?! .. (Did you all hear it?!) .. Girl and Papa finally in love each other!.. (Girl and Papa finally fall in love!).”

Anthony roared at Addison cheerfully.

Addison and the others smiled broadly at the happiness on Anthony's face.

“I’m sooo happyyy!! .. (I am so happyaaa!!) ..” Anthony said with a very bright face.

“We’re happy for you too Anth (We are also happy for you Anth)” Addison said.

“It means that Girl will stay with us from now on Papa?.. (That means Girl will stay with us here Papa?).”

“Of course she is (Of course yes)”

“Hooorayy!!!! ..”

"And also means that you and Girl will get married right? (And it also means Papa and Girl are getting married right?)"

Mangosteen's son.

"Right after your Madre and Padre get married, I will marry with Girl (Just after Madre and Padremu get married, then I will marry Girl)"

“Hooorayy!!!! ..”

Anthony cheered again.

“Since you’ve become happy, let’s have a rest now ..”

(Since you are already happy, now let's rest)..

“Okay Papa!”

“And this your new room, you can occupy it from now on .. (And this new room of yours, you can occupy from now on) ..”

“Yeayy!!!! ..” Anthony cheered again.

“But maybe tomorrow night, huh?. Because now it’s a little bit messy. You might ...”

(But what if starting tomorrow night, hem?. Because now this room is a little messy. You could.).

“It’s okay Papa! My bed is near! (It's okay Papa! My bed is neat!)”

Anthony immediately grabbed him while pointing at his bed.

Mangosteen's son.

'However, the girl will stay with me in my new room tonight (A girl will stay with me in my new room tonight)'

Son ingrained.

'I can't let Anth sleep alone in our former room also (I can't possibly let Anth sleep alone in our old room) ..'

The son is weighing.

'Ah, I will clean this room so Anth can sleep here, I feel peace. And girl sleep with me, then I feel warm. So I cab feel peace and warm once in a time (I'll clean this room so Anth can sleep here, so I feel calm. And the girl sleeps with me, I'll feel warm. So I feel calm and warm together), Haha'

Inner Papa has a plan.

“Are you sure you’re not get disturbed?.. (Are you sure you won't get distracted?) ..”

Bruna voice.

“Papa Putra was right. Maybe better tomorrow after we ask Pak Abdul and the others to clean up all of this first”

(Papa Putra is right. Maybe it's better tomorrow after we ask Mr. Abdul and the others to clean up all this)

Bruna connected her words, while circulating her gaze in Anthony's new room which was a little messy because of the wrappings scattered in addition to their former snacks and drinks.

“It’s okay Madre, I can clean it up before I go to sleep! (It's okay Madre, I can clean it before I go to sleep!)”

“You don’t have to do that Anth.. (You don't have to do that Anth).” Bruna Sahut.

“Don’t worry Madre, I know how to do it! (Don't worry Madre, I know how to do it!)”

“......”

“Daddy and Mommy taught me how to clean up my room at our former house at Ravenna (Daddy and Mommy have taught me to clean my room in our old house in Ravenna).”

Anthony looked excited.

Bruna and the others just smiled at the excited Anthony.

"B .. (I).." The son wants to talk.

“How about this, you, our Prince .. (How about this, you, Prince) ..”

But Damian was struck, while already squatting himself on the side of Anthony.

“Your Papa is already occupying that room (Your father already occupies that room).”

Damian pointed at the room connected to Anthony's new room.

“You sleep with him tonnage at there, also with Girl! Haem? .. (You slept with him there tonight, with the girl! Hem?).”

‘What a not good idea (What a bad idea)’

Son ingrained.

“Agree? (Agree?) ..”

“Agree! (Agree!)” Anthony shouted cheerfully.

‘Well Papa! (But Papa doesn't!)’ The protest of the Son in heart.

“That’s is a good idea! (That's a great idea!)”

Anthony shouted again.

‘Yaa good for you, but not good for me (Good for you, not good for me)’

Papa Putra grew lethargic as Anthony nodded enthusiastically, agreeing with Damian's idea for Anthony to sleep with Son and Girl in the new Son's room.

‘Haish, goodbye the fondness I imagine with Girl tonight (Haish, goodbye the romance I imagined with Girl tonight)'
