Happy Birthday To Me
Happy Birthday To Me - 14

...🕯️🕯️🕯️...

Syifa stepped out of her bathroom while rubbing her still-wet head with a white towel. He stepped closer to the clender who was on the table. His smile expands as he learns that today is Thursday, which coincides with his beloved father's birthday.

"Today's dad's birthday. Syifa should give Dad a surprise. Syifa knows I'd be happy if Syifa gave me a surprise birthday for Dad," he said happily then with a very happy step he grabbed some clothes in his closet to get ready to go to his father's house. for a few weeks he had not seen his father again.

Syifa tidied her hair combing it neatly then grabbed a small bag and stepped out of the room.

"Mbok Teak! Which mom, huh?" syifa asked as she had just arrived on the floor after descending the steps.

"The mother's in the room, non."

Syifa nodded then did not think long she immediately stepped towards her Mother's room. Without saying a word Syifa stepped into the room to find her mother who was busy with a small smile and she seemed to hold a cellphone as if she was busy talking to someone through the cellphone.

"Mama!"

Suddenly Rahmi was shocked. He turned his head and got up after seeing Syifa behind him. Do not want to think long about who is being invited to tell a story by his mother through the cellphone makes Syifa approach.

"Well, Syifa? You made Mama that way, huh. Next time you want to go in the room Mama was knock on the door or talk first, cake so Mama is not surprised like this."

"What's the matter, Ma? Oh yeah, who's Mama calling you?"

"As for Mama," she answered tightly and Syifa could see the look on her face becoming nervous as if she was afraid that Syifa would know who she was talking to.

Rahmi stared from the tip of her foot to the end of Syifa's hair. Well it seems Rahmi just realized that the appearance of her son is not as usual.

"Where are you going?"

"Syifa's going to the cake shop."

"Cake shop? Why are you going to the cake shop?"

Syifa clicked her lips slightly irritated by the question. How could her mother forget that.

"Okay, did Mama forget? It's Dad's birthday today."

After hearing that made his mother instantly speechless. She had completely forgotten that today was her ex-husband's birthday.

"Oh," he answered briefly and turned and pretended to be busy with some books on his desk.

"Oh yes Ma, Mama doesn't want to come to dad's house?"

"Gapain to get there?"

Syifa stepped closer this time she had the intention to bring her mother closer to her father. Yes although Syifa knew this was absolutely impossible to make Mama and her father united but she only wanted to see Dad and Mama reunited just a few minutes for her. Of course Syifa will feel much happier.

"Yes ordinary Ma, it is usual that the birthday event will be a gathering together. No way dong if Syifa just came alone a surprise for Dad."

"What surprise, Syifa anyway? Your father is not important let alone want to be given a surprise like that."

"He was busy. Busy with his new family. What's in it anyway, give me that surprise? I don't think there's any other work."

As soon as Syifa's smile vanished from her lips, the slightly more cheerful look of her face now turned moody, but soon Syifa developed her smile again.

"It's okay, if you don't want to make a surprise love for Dad but Mama wants, right if Mama nemenin Syifa to buy a cake."

"Nothing. Mama doesn't have time" she replied.

"Oh, come on Ma! Just once! Not for long, it's only 15 minutes."

"Syifa from Mama nemenin you make a cake and do things that are not important that mama sleep or just take care of work."

"Partially you, why the hell should care about that person. She doesn't care about you, you bother to care about her."

"You know that your father doesn't care about you anymore. He wants his new family more like his new wife and you think where the hell he ever celebrate your birthday."

"Have he ever come to this house and continue to give you words or surprises like what you want to do with him?"

"Have you? Never, right? You're the one who wants to take care of yourself."

"Yes the name is also a busy person, Ma so I don't have a chance for a surprise love for Syifa," Syifa said with a smile.

"Yes at least he chatted or why let him give you a happy birthday."

"Udahlah Syifa, he does not care anymore about you.your father has changed he is not the father you used to know he is more affectionate with his new child," he continued.

As Syifa's eyes warmed up, her face heated up as well, her eyes blocked with a puddle of tears ready to fall at any moment. His mother's words sounded very painful.

What else indirectly Mama said that her father was no longer dear to her. Whether the sentence had shown how his father's heart was to him at this moment.

"What's the difference between Mom and Dad?" the speech suddenly made Rahmi turned to look at the figure of her daughter who is still standing behind her.

"What's the difference between Mama and Dad?"

"Father same Mama also makes no difference, really. Nor did she ever give Syifa a surprise or birthday greeting for Syifa."

"Father same with Mama. Last time what? Mama and I celebrated Syifa's birthday just fitting Syifa small, right?"

"And not anymore. How many years has Syifa never celebrated his birthday again. Even Syifa had forgotten the last time something dangerous happened."

"Mama's the same Dad doesn't make any difference. Nobody cares about Syifa."

Syifa took a deep breath as if she really felt the pain in her heart that was so deep trying to strengthen her heart in order to say this.

"Syifa is okay, really if you don't love Syifa anymore but at least Mama doesn't have to talk like that."

"Syifa knows I don't love Syifa anymore but Syifa always hopes that I still love and care about Syifa."

"If Mama doesn't want to nemenin Syifa love a surprise or buy a cake for Dad, well it's okay."

"Syifa can be alone, why else if there is no Mama is also good," he explained again and then stepped out leaving Rahmi who immediately threw her body into the mattress as if sorry with his sentence but this is all right, everything, right there's nothing wrong.
