Maya Adisti
Surprise

I looked at the origin of the voice. Seen Akash, Yash, Anindhita and mother stand in the faculty parking lot. Looks like they just came because Akash just got out of the car.

Suddenly Anindhita was hunting me, her little hands carrying quite a lot of colorful balloons.

"Make Aunt Maya" said Anindhita, handing her balloon to me.

Mom, Akash and Yash came up to me. Seeing Yash and Akash still neatly dressed in a shirt made me clumsy, as instantly the attention of the people turned towards me.

"Here's the bag." Akash grabbed the bag I was holding and returned to the car.

I watched his movements. I felt Anindhita's hand tugging at my shirt as it felt unnoticed, but my focus remained on Akash's movements.

I didn't feel like I was crying, I didn't think he remembered and asked mom. He must have taken Yash and Anindhita.

Akash returned looking at me and smiling. Seeing Akash walking towards me among the passersby made the time around me seem to stop.

Like one of the bollywood movie scenes, romantic songs suddenly swirled in my head. Akash's charm is like a magnet I can't avoid.

"Aunty Maya!" All of a sudden all collapsed with the pull of Anindhita's hands and screams.

"Yes baby?" I blinked and turned towards him. I wiped my tears quickly.

"It's for Auntie." Anindhita handed back the balloon that I had not taken out of her hands.

"Please baby" I said as I kissed the girl's forehead.

I carried Anindhita, her tiny body made her weight not too heavy. Akash stood next to me, pulling my head and kissing my forehead quickly.

"Graduate right?" ask Akash.

"Yes pass!"

"If we don't pass, we're tired of coming here" Yash said.

"Cabin." Akash pulled me up to the faculty terrace. He asked the few people gathered there to stay away for a while.

Of course they said, I know for sure anyone who saw Akash must feel disinclined because his aura is very authoritative.

"Sir, please take a picture." Akash handed his phone to the security guard who used to stand guard at the entrance.

Hearing that mom and Yash immediately docked. After several shots of Akash not immediately thanking, he even hinted the security guard to wait.

"Anin now it's Om's turn with Aunt Maya?" pinta Akash to Anindhita. Instead of fumbling down Anindhita even tightened her arms to me.

"A little while, huh? Can you?" I stared fixedly at Anindhita's eyes, the girl complied and I lowered her.

Anindhita approached Yash and clasped the man's hand.

"Thank you Anin" said Akash.

Akash pulled me tighter. He put his hand on my shoulder. After finishing taking a new photo he received his phone back and thanked the security guard. He also gave one hundred thousand pieces of money while shaking hands with the security guard. I know because I saw clearly how Akash took the money in his pants pocket.

"Alright, come!" akash said to everyone.

"Where?" my many.

"Waiting your graduation."

Akash clasped my shoulders running hand in hand towards the car.

"Anin wants to be with Aunt Maya" said Anindhita.

I looked back, where Yash's car was parked.

"Papa ya?" bargain yash.

I looked at Akash, asking for his approval. After Akash nodded, I waved my hand at Anindhita.

Mom sat at the wheel with Akash, and I sat in the back with Anindhita. I deliberately chose the seat in the back so as not to be sore to hold Anindhita.

As the car moved I looked back, making sure Yash followed us. Along the way Anindhita was calm. He was more busy with the balloons he had.

I smiled amusedly, he was eager to give the balloons to me. Now he acts as if the balloons belong to him.

"Anin likes balloons?" my many.

The girl nodded.

Anindhita nodded back.

"Who bought the balloon?" I kept Anindhita chatting because she didn't want to make a sound yet.

"Papa," he said.

I heard Akash was holding back his laughter.

Akash's car turns into a Sundanese restaurant. I know exactly what this place is because I read the name of that place.

We all got out after the car stopped. I turned to Akash for being unsure of Akash's restaurant.

"Why?" ask Akash.

"You didn't choose the wrong place, did you?"

"You forgot? My mother is also a Sundanese. Do you want to eat steak? Usually you are not full," replied Akash.

Akash has a point, too. After Yash joined we walked into the restaurant. Occupy one of the gazebos on the edge of the fish pond. There is a large short-legged table and some seats are made of foam.

Anindhita looks excited. He approached the pond and watched the fish up close. Several times he put his hand in the pool. I'm pissed because this place doesn't have a guardrail

"Be careful Anin" I said as I approached Anindhita.

Anindhita smiles. Worried Anindhita why-not finally I accompanied her to play. When I looked at Yash, the man was looking at me with a smile.

"What do you want Maya to eat?" ask Akash.

"What aja. Uh, no burning ribs? I want dong" I replied.

"Oh, yeah. Anin's orders are the same as mine Akash," I said.

I saw Akash frowning in wonder. I signaled for Akash to comply. When I looked at Yash, the man looked at me in wonder.

When the food comes Anindhita looks sumringah, maybe the child also feels hungry. Especially when he knew my food and ate the same, Anindhita sat on my lap instead.

"Anin, the same Papa yuk? Aunt Maya eat first," said Yash. The girl shook her head.

"Well, Anin's sitting next to Auntie huh? We eat together" I asked.

Anindhita comes down, she really complies with me. I brought Anindhita's plate closer to her. I was surprised that there was no movement from Anindhita, she just kept looking at the food.

I have a bad feeling about this, because a while ago you did the same thing. Sure enough, when I bribed Anindhita looked at me with a look of pity.

I-i understand. I put away my plate and grabbed Anindhita's plate and began to feed her. I glanced towards Yash who shook his head with a dislike look.

"Eat yourself Anin," Yash said.

Anindhita shook her head for a while and then enjoyed eating again as she moved her hand to the right to the left. I took a deep breath because I was actually very hungry as well.

"Can you condition Anin Yash? You don't see Maya exhausted?" akash Tegur.

Yash was about to move but I hinted him to stay seated. "It's okay" I told Akash and Yash.

"Anin, would you like to eat a plate together not the same Aunt? Anin eats by herself, Auntie eats by herself." I'm trying to negotiate with Anindhita.

I can't believe Anindhita's giving her thumbs up. I took the plate down from the table and sat opposite Anindhita. The little girl looked very happy as I cut the meat into small pieces and told her that it was hers.

"Thank You Aunt" said Anin.

After eating I was still preoccupied with Anindhita. This time Yash joined me at the edge of the fish pond. Inadvertently my and Yash's eyes were turning. Again he smiled sincerely.

"Thank you" said Yash.

"For?"

"Because you have been kind to Anindhita. Looks like you managed to take this kid's heart." Yash stroked Anindhita's head slowly.

I didn't answer, because I didn't know what to say. I can finally smile.

When I turned to Akash, I saw the man staring intently at me.

"Why him?" my inner.
