Happy Birthday To Me
Happy Birthday to Me - 18

🕯️🕯️🕯️

Syifa wiped away her tears and took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. This morning he got up from his bed wiping tears from his pillow. Although his heart was sad because he could not celebrate his father's birthday, he had to live this life with a smile because there were many people who needed a smile.

With a smile he looked at the reflection of his face on the mirror surface and then he took a deep breath accompanied by deep eyes and then he smiled again.

"Well Syifa, stop crying today because there are people who are going to have birthdays" she said, then she stepped closer to a picture frame where her best friend who seemed to be smiling along with her.

Who else if not Lena, his best friend then with a step so very happy and excited he approached the surface of the calendar and round the calendar date.

"The 21st, Lena's birthday. Lena happy birthday. Today Syifa will make Lena's birthday much happier" she said, putting the picture on the table again

Syifa stepped and circled so very happy as if today was not her best friend's birthday but her but, Syifa's steps were stifled when her head hurt. Yes it seems like this pain happened because he had been circling around because he was overzealous.

Syifa gave a small laugh and then she laid her body on the surface of the mattress staring at the ceiling of the room surface that seemed to swirl.

"Oh, it's so dizzy" he said while touching his head but Syifa can't be weak."

"Syifa should be excited because today is the birthday for Lena and Syifa should celebrate Lena's birthday" she said.

...****...

Tong!

The sound of bells ringing indicates visitors enter the cake shop, where Syifa always order cakes to celebrate the birthdays of those around her.

"Good morning!" greet brother Meno who greeted him with a smile.

Syifa smiled as if she had been coming to the cake shop lately.

"Want to order another birthday cake? Who for?"

"Yes brother Meno, today Syifa's best friend's birthday."

"Oh yesterday Syifa's father's birthday is now her best friend again."

Syifa nodded.

"Oh yes yesterday how? Surprise surprise?"

The question made Syifa's smile slowly disappear from her lips. What to answer now. He was also embarrassed to say that the surprise failed.

"Oh, is there a new form of cake again?" syifa diverted the conversation.

"Well, you want a new shape?"

"You brother."

"Do you have to be picky?"

"By my brother," he answered and then he opened several sheets of menu books where there are various types of cake shapes there.

"Whose birthday cake will be written on her birthday cake?"

"Write Lena's happy birthday!"

"Lena's happy birthday?" the repetition made Syifa nod.

"Oh yes, the cake can be delivered no?"

"Where to go?"

"Send to Syifa school, Syifa later picked up in front of the school. Can you?"

"Can. Later let brother deliver and if brother is already in front of the school later brother phone."

"Syifa's best friend must be very happy, he could get a surprise like this."

"Yes, good luck, thank you."

...🕯️🕯️🕯️...

Syifa left school early this morning. In addition to going to order a birthday cake he also wants to plan something to his friends. Syifa wants to invite all her classmates to work together to give a surprise for Lena.

"Well, so when the break arrives make sure Lena will go to the cafeteria. There we are all equally ornamental class," explained Syifa.

"What's the thing to wear?" ask one of his friends.

"Easy. Syifa already ready, how will be delivered at the same time Lena's birthday cake," he explained again making his friends nod their understanding.

"Well, so one of us is going to take Lena to the cafeteria or whatever it is to the office or take care of some important tasks she's not in this class."

"So we'll all be free to decorate the class. Keep the door of the class will be closed and after that if Lena has opened the door, one of us must turn the party popper to make it more exciting."

"Other people will sing happy birthday songs to Lena, how to agree, right?"

"Again, I'm sure the plan will go smoothly," said the others agree.

"Oh yeah to all of you don't let this surprise leak and don't let Lena know if we're planning another birthday, okay?"

"okay."

"OK agree."

"Where is Lena?" sahut Siska's.

"Syifa deliberately, Syifa deliberately did not pick Lena up so that she was angry, this is also part of the strategy of surprise so Lena we make so angry first after it was new, he will be happy because we give a surprise to him," he explained making his friends nod their heads to understand.

"Eh, uh Lena's here, but!" said one of his classmates made Syifa with the others quickly ran to their respective chairs along with his other friends.

They all worked together to make Lena upset today and no one asked Lena to talk, this is part of the surprise strategy.

The open door revealed the figure of Lena who was now staring angrily at Syifa. Yes of course he was angry because today he had to take an angkot to school while Syifa who used to pick him up did not come.

Bruack!!!

A loud voice rang out as Lena threw her bag onto the chair and propped her waist up looking towards Syifa who was now just speechless with a flat face.

"Lu's crazy, huh? I said pick me up! pick me! You want to make me late?"

No answer from the slightest nature made Lena stare confusedly. This time Syifa did not answer his question. He was silent while busy playing his phone.

"Eh, Syifa! I was talking to you. Can you hear it, anyway?"

There was no answer from Syifa. He still looks silent. Lena clicked her lips in annoyance then turned her head to look in all directions where everyone looked silent.

He did not understand why everyone seemed to live like this.

"Lo all on why, is it secretly like that?"

There is no answer, silence and silence become the atmosphere in this class.

"Crazy you all!" he then stepped out and when the door of the class was closed Syifa and with the other friends turned to look at each other and laughed as if one of his surprise strategies had succeeded in making Lena angry.

Syifa smiled slightly. He feels happy in his heart.

"It's good that Lena's part of the strategy that if Lena finds out her surprise plan, Lena'll be happy."
