Happy Birthday To Me

Happy Birthday To Me
Happy Birthday to Me - 61


...🕯️🕯️🕯️...


Syifa let out a long sigh as she stepped out of the doctor's room Bryan . Breath of relief now gradually with a slow blow.


He was very grateful because doctor Bryan was so familiar with the situation now and gave time to delay in treatment with chemotherapy that will be done later.


One thing he wanted most was to see his mother and Jaya was married before he went through the treatment process. He wanted to undergo treatment with a feeling of happiness and relief because he could see his mother was happy later even though he was not happy with returning with his father, Farhan.


As he passed through Nayla's room Syifa's steps immediately came to a halt. He stared for a moment at Nayla's room where he was asleep while his grandmother looked faithful to accompany him.


From here he could see his Grandmother lying her head on the edge of the mattress while tightly hugging her fingers. He should also be grateful and often smile like Nayla. Although he was not raised with his parents and only with an old woman called Grandma but he still smiled.


Syifa's life is better than Nayla's. Syifa still has both, only those who separated despite the relationship.


Syifa can also be grateful because when he misses the figure of his father then he can immediately come to his father's complex and see the figure of Farhan who by seeing him trying to eliminate his longing even though his father no longer could he always be with her and there was already a new person filling her heart.


Likewise with the Mama, Rahmi who will soon be proposed by Pak Jaya. Everything will be fine, no.


And that's what Syifa always hoped for, the good things she always wanted.


Drttts


Syifa's phone rang to listen to her signature tone of call making Syifa quickly reach into the bag that had crossed her body since earlier.


Syifa smilingly stared at her Mama's name there making her rush to pick up the phone put the phone to her cheek until a voice from across was heard.


"Yes Ma, Syifa's here."


"Why haven't you come home yet?"


"This is Syifa just coming home."


"Yes, Syifa, you have come home, yes! You want to have dinner with you."


"Where's dinner?"


"After home, we rarely eat dinner together. If we want to have dinner at home, can we?"


"May," he answered with zeal.


"Well, Mama has been waiting. Quickly go home," he said until the connection was cut off, making Syifa stop her steps staring at the phone screen happily accompanied by a smile that expands showing her neatly arranged teeth.


I can't wait to have dinner with my mom. Didn't think long Syifa immediately put the phone into the cavity of his bag and stepped in ardently towards the parking lot.


...🕯️🕯️🕯️...


The candle lights on the table are used as a light for luxury foods that are also presented on the table after being made by Jati who decided to go home first.


Syifa stirred the food that had been in front of her while occasionally looking at her Mama who looked still smiling.


Honestly, this is the first time Syifa and Rahmi can have dinner together and this is also the first time the two of them have dinner without the figure of the Father who is busy eating together elsewhere that wife.


In the past they all always spent dinner accompanied by a joke to make the atmosphere warmer.


Syifa thought it would all happen forever, but apparently it did not last long. Suddenly his family was crushed to the point of wounding and suffocating the sad powder left in his heart.


Everything was falling apart, separating the wounds that could not be spoken with a word. Everything is more painful and elves prolonged. There is no word of a smile to decide to remove dinner activities even before Rahmi always decided to eat out and refused to eat dinner at home again.


Moreover, Syifa who does not want to eat at the dining table because it feels if the dinner is not warm if there is no figure of his father's presence.


"The taste of the chicken is good," praised Syifa on the sidelines he chewed making Rahmi who had been feeling awkward before the child now moved her gaze to look at Syifa who looks smiling as if enjoying the cuisine of the teak mbok.


"Yes, my mom likes it too. Oh yeah, actually, this dinner isn't just dinner."


He sipped some water to wet his throat and then put the glass back on the table and looked seriously at the mother.


"Mama actually said something."


"What are you talking about?"


"Actually Mama is also not good to talk to Syifa."


"Loh, why?"


"Mama's afraid of trouble."


"What indeed?"


Rahmi let out a short sigh trying to gather all her courage to say this to her daughter who seemed faithful waiting for her to speak.


"Tomorrow Mama can you have a little time?"


"Can. Time for what?"


"Mama wants you to be present in Mama's application process? You want to, right?"


Hearing that made Syifa smile widely and without hesitation and heavy heart he immediately nodded with enthusiasm.


"Correct?" rahmi asked in disbelief.


His eyes twinkled as Syifa nodded her head again.


"really. Syifa wasn't kidding. Syifa wants, really. When did Jaya come?"


"Tomorrow at ten in the morning."


"But it's like tomorrow, Syifa has school hours. How, dong?"


"Yes, later let Mama tell Pak Jaya to withdraw her application hours."


"Not to be pushed back, Ma. It will not feel good with his family, Jaya. How if Syifa does not need to go to school just yet," his advice makes Rahmi smile gradually disappear.


"Well, but there's no way you're not going to school."


"It's okay, ma. Syifa is just a day. Syifa also never skipped school so it's okay if Syifa doesn't go to school every day."


"Maybe it's okay" he continued.


"Maybe?"


"Can. For Mama's sake what can't. Syifa will do it all because Syifa loves Mama."


Hearing that, it felt like Rahmi's heart was shaking. I don't know why everything her daughter said made her so happy.


The praise and affection Syifa showed her made her even more grateful. A change that he saw from the child and there was a tenderness in his daughter that was frozen because of a reality that gives bitterness if he can no longer be with his father.


"Want to add the chicken again?" tanya Rahmi offers to make Syifa again and again nods her head tightly.


He lifted the plate and stuck out to the happy Rahmi instead of playing.


Tonight will certainly be the happiest night for Rahmi. Being together with the child is a priceless treasure. It was his dream to see his daughter happy and smiling as he was with her.


A little thing that warms my heart.
