Time keeps passing. The sun came and went repeatedly. Marking the day keeps changing. The age of every human being continues to increase over time.
That Sunday morning, all the family members were busy preparing for Clarice's 5th birthday kit in one of the 5-star hotel's Ballrooms.
Calina and Kenzo invite all of Clarice's schoolmates at the best International School in the Capital. Not to forget, Gilang and their parents will come that afternoon.
Carrying the theme of Disneyland, then the eldest daughter Calina is currently in Princess Aurora-style makeup with her pink dress that expands to the ankles, and long yellow hair wavy. A crown rested on top of his false hair.
Next to her was Mommy Calina who was wearing a blue Cinderella dress. Her natural black hair was also in a Cinderella-style bun while attending the Prince's party that night. Where it is said that glass shoes became the bridge of their next meeting.
Studying the story of Cinderella in a fairy tale, then Calina herself like Cinderella in the real world, by leaving the story of Cinderella's cruel stepmother.
Where the village girl was finally married to a wealthy prince in the capital. And fate changed one hundred and eighty degrees. From working with a salary of only 5 million, now only need to relax at home to get 100 times more.
The woman, who was once considered trash by her own husband, has now become Young Madam a conglomerate. What he wanted could have been realized in just one blink. But Calina is not a woman who is taught to squander - scattering money.
If in the room there are two different age women are decorated like Disney princesses. So in the other room there are two men who are ready with king-style clothes from the fairyland. And a little man in the typical dress of a prince from the same land.
Gilang held the 2-year-old nephew in his left arm. While Kenzo is ready to pick up her little daughter, who today will be queen of the day.
The steps of the brothers approached the room next to him. Where the women are reportedly ready to attend the little Miss's party.
"Hi..he..hi!" exclaim Gilang opened the door without a knock.
Reflek, Calina who was standing in front of the big mirror turned to the side to see who had come. And immediately positioned herself, when she saw her husband was behind the troublemaker.
Smiled sweetly, showing the perfection of her appearance that afternoon. And just with that sweet smile of his, managed to make Kenzo not blink to see him for a while.
Until the action looks at each other and throws a meaningful smile it is distracted by the adorable act of Clarice.
When the mother seeks the attention of her stepdaddy, Clarice cheers when she sees who's coming. With her pink dress looking so luxurious, Clarice jumped small while turning around.
"Uncle, look at my dress!" he showed off a birthday dress made especially for him to Gilang.
"Oh my God, you're so beautiful!" exclaim Gilang admires the step-nephew who is her beauty down from the mother. And Gilang was always enthusiastic about the behavior of his two nephews.
"Are you ready?" kenzo stopped Clarice's dance that drew all the glare in the room. He clasped Clarice's arms together, looking gently at the princess.
"I'm ready!" he smiled happily.
"Let's go!" kenzo grabbed a tiny hand and took the little girl out of the room. His right hand was raised to the top for his wife.
Five pioneers at the birthday party walked out of the room, and into the same elevator.
While in the Ballroom, there were already some invited guests who came. Especially close family members.
On the front, there is already a back drop with decorated balloons - balloons and a series of knick knacks that show the theme of Disneyland. A name was engraved on the white board, to show whose party was going on.
...Happy 5th B'day...
...Brighta Clarice Agasta's...
The rectangular table with 5-story tart cake has been perched majestically with various nuanced decorations Princess Aurora.
In the corner of the room, there is entertainment in the form of an orchestra that sings songs with cheerful and familiar nuances in the ears of children.
Kenzo, Calina, Clarice and Galen who were in Gilang's arms entered the Ballroom through the side door. Passing through a special room that has a wish.
Their presence is certainly welcomed by some of the guests who have attended. A song titled Happy Birthday from Jambrud sung in a fairly smooth tone by the Vocalist to welcome the arrival of Clarice notabene his children.
Calina was quite amazed at how magnificent EO was preparing for the birthday event for her daughter. He couldn't believe that Kenzo was spending such a budget on Clarice's birthday.
He remembered the moment five years ago. On the same day, at different hours, she struggled to give birth to her daughter without a husband. There was only Mama Shinta who became the reinforcement of his hand grip.
Kenzo, meanwhile, can only wait outside the delivery room. Because he is not the baby's father. Nor is Calina's husband.
All the pain, pain, and bones that seemed to be crushed even he felt alone. Without a husband, or father of his child.
Painful and sad indeed, but it was the fate he chose, instead of having to contact Zio and tell him everything. Calina refused that.
The exhausting postpartum life was only felt together with the mother in a small apartment. Until Kenzo who saw both of them exhausted, looking for a part-time helper.
Five years ago, all the difficulties he felt, were alleviated by the figure of Kenzo. All the complaints he messed up on Kenzo. Until finally he felt that Clarice would not lose the figure of Father in his life.
Calina turned to Kenzo who was still holding her to approach the cake table. Sleek look and full of love.
All the difficulties in the past, it was easy to hear Kenzo call Clarice Daddy.
For a moment he did not believe in the way Kenzo introduced himself to Clarice. It all feels like a dream. Moreover, everything happens when the two are only in a relationship without status. Moreover, the shadow of the blonde girl sebahu continues to overshadow Calina's mind.
"What's wrong?" kenzo asked, looking at Calina on the right side.
Calina shook her head slowly, with a happy smile.
Kenzo turned straight ahead after returning Calina's smile. And the step was getting closer to the cake table.
