Happy Birthday To Me
Happy Birthday To Me - 54

...🕯️🕯️🕯️...

Syifa stepped down from her motor vehicle matic. Parked the motor vehicle's two wheels in front of the house.

From here he can see the black car owned by Pak Jaya again. The man came again to his house and of course Pak Jaya was with his mother again as often happens.

After putting his helmet on the motorcycle seat Syifa stepped into his house and sure enough when he was at the entrance from here he could see Pak Jaya and Rahmi who quickly get up from the couch after seeing Syifa.

Pak Jaya took a sip of his salivation. He looks bad at Syifa's arrival especially when Syifa looks at him with a very serious view.

Syifa took a deep breath and exhaled slowly and not for a long time something that was never imagined by Pak Jaya and also by Rahmi when she saw Syifa smiling.

A smile spread on his daughter's lips. Syifa smiled at Rahmi and Pak Jaya who looked confused.

Both of them did not understand why the daughter of the woman he loved was smiling at him. Usually he will give a sharp glare of cynicism and a flat face and then step away but, now look! Syifa even stepped closer to him.

Arriving Syifa in front of Pak Jaya, Syifa immediately stuck out her fingers to make Pak Jaya so very surprised. He immediately turned to look at Rahmi who also spontaneously turned to look at the lover. The two looked at each other in disbelief.

"Did Jaya not want to shake hands with Syifa?" asked Syifa who was still smiling made the confused Jaya sir quickly shake Syifa's hand and the unexpected happened, Syifa pulled out her fingers and kissed her there.

Both eyes of Pak Jaya rounded. He never thought that Syufy would do it. He acted as if he was the figure of his father when in the past he seemed to refuse outright that he would be his father's successor later after he married Rahmi.

"How's Jaya? Is Mr Jaya good today?" ask Syifa.

"Well," replied Jaya nervously.

He still can't believe it. There was a sense of confusion and unexpected that raged in his heart. Both handshakes were released followed by a sweet smile that was still given by Syifa.

"It looks like Mr. Jaya doesn't need to come home often."

Pak Jaya's face immediately closed. Apparently Syifa still can't accept it.

"If Mr. Jaya always comes home too often, Syifa does not want the neighbors to be misunderstood."

"But if Pak Jaya really wants to always come to the house just to meet with Mama then Pak Jaya must marry Mama."

Both eyes of Jaya are rounded. He quickly turned his head and exchanged eyes with Rahmi who also did not expect his daughter would say that to Pak Jaya.

"Are you serious?" ask Jaya stammered.

Syifa smiled a little and then bowed for a moment until she finally looked back at Pak Jaya.

"Syifa never jokes. Does Syifa's face look joking?"

"Syifa can't wait to see Pak Jaya married to Mama and Pak Jaya will be a father continued Syifa."

"Then Syifa left first," he said at the end of the sentence then stepped away leaving Pak Jaya and Rahmi who were still looking at each other.

The two of them simultaneously turned to look at Syifa who stepped up the steps while smiling.

"Did something happen to your daughter?" jaya asked after the two now sat on the sofa.

"I don't know, either."

"It looks like Syifa changed today."

"Well, I saw it too."

Rahmi nodded for a moment and went back to thinking about the incident this morning and after what had happened this morning. Today why his daughter could change.

...🕯️🕯️🕯️...

Syifa closed the door slowly. Her tears were flowing down her cheeks. Leaning his body against the door with his hand still touching the door algae.

The door closed tightly with his body slowly slumped to the floor, put the bag on the side, hugged his knees and drowned his face between his legs.

Is this decision the best? Syifa does not know whether this is good or not but after he thought about it on the way home he also should not be selfish and forbid Mama to approach Pak Jaya or even vice versa.

And also he could not force Pak Jaya to stay away from his mother. Everyone needs happiness and so does their mother.

How could his father who has made a new family while his mother should always be sad because of seeing the happiness with his new wife, especially now his father has had children.

Is it possible that Syifa let Rahmi be bound in her life and selfishness. It cannot be selfish. Rahmi also has the right to open a new page together with Pak Jaya and now Syifa is aware.

After wiping the tears on her cheek saw that Syifa immediately changed her school uniform and moved towards the chair on her study desk.

Get one of the diary books and write there. Somehow it seems that Jati mbok can not be involved in this heart expression makes him have to write his heart on the sheets of books that he will keep his confidentiality and no one will know.

...🕯️🕯️🕯️...

After the departure of Pak Jaya now finally Rahmi decided to go up to the second floor. He knocked on Syifa's door until the door he knocked on opened slowly. The door was unlocked and the owner seemed to be writing something in a book that Syifa did not know what it was.

Syifa quickly closed the book. Tuck it on the row of books on his bookshelf.

Rahmi approached sitting on the edge of the mattress as she felt awkward with her daughter.

"What's Syifa?"

"What's wrong?" asked Syifa who turned around to turn the chair so she could sit in front of the mother.

"Mom should have asked and you should have answered. Today it seems you changed."

"Syifa hasn't changed, it's just that Syifa wants to do something better like crucify Mama and mbok Jati when she leaves for school."

"Mama know, Syifa had never been yelling Mama and mbok Jati to go to school" he continued.

"Other than that."

"Which one?"

"When you meet with Mr. Jaya. Were you serious at the time?"

Syifa nodded steadily.

"Syifa never jokes."

Syifa let out a breath. He was silent for a moment until his smile disappeared slowly and soon he again pulled the corner of his lips, forming an arch of smile there.

"Didn't Mama want to marry Jaya?"

"You are just there."

"Syifa is happy to see Mama always smiling looking at Mr. Jaya."

"Is that the only reason? It's not you who yells and cries forbid Mama not to marry pak Jaya."

Syifa is silent now. The shadow of his father's laughter seemed to ring in his ears. The father's happy face and laughter at the sight of his son learning to walk was reflected in his mind.

They're so very happy.

"Shyifa!" call Rahim to wake Syifa from her daydream.

"What's wrong?"

"Syifa is okay. Syifa just wants Mama to get the same happiness as Dad," she replied, turning over her chair and sitting on her back.
