In the living room of the second floor of the Erlangga residence. There was only Syafira and Elena, both of whom seemed to be silenced and exchanged glances with each other. Syafira hopes the woman before her will be willing and willing to attend Xander's birthday. In contrast to Elena, the woman chose to attend a reunion event with her professional friends.
“How's Auntie? Why is Aunt keeping quiet? Aunty wants to attend Xander's birthday? It's only once a year aunt, and last year aunty did not attend the birthday of her own aunt,”. After all, he had to make Elena present on Xander's birthday. That way Victor is willing to pretend to be his girlfriend.
“Syafira. Do you know reunion with my old school friends was only done once every 5 years. This time, I must attend! Wh why? Because 5 years ago I wasn't at this reunion. You know I miss my friends. And they should also know my cool job in Africa,” Elena explained. For him, career is everything. If Xander had been a priority in his life, there would have been no divorce with Victor.
“Tante! That's more important than Xander! Xander's his own aunt! And he just wants aunty to attend his birthday, the boy never asks aunty for every day to deliver school. As long as Aunt Elena knows, not only me but Om Victor as well as Mrs Hani. They really hope to bring aunty to attend Xander's birthday party, it is one of his biggest wishes.” This time Syafira did not perform. Honest from the deepest of hearts. He wanted to see Xander happy on his birthday.
Sapphira's words made Elena shuffle. He closed his lips tightly shut and closed his eyes. What Syafira said was true, he should have attended Xander's birthday instead of attending a reunion.
“Good Syafira. I'll undo my intention to go to the reunion. I chose to attend Xander's birthday party,” Elena asserted with confidence.
“What did Aunt Elena say I could hold. I don't want it to be just a momentary lie. It would hurt Xander if Aunt Elena couldn't attend her birthday.” Syafira took a peek, observing the look in the eyes of the woman before him.
“You can hold my words Syafira. I'm leaving tonight. And tomorrow afternoon I come here at my son's birthday party,” she explained while returning Syafira's eyes.
“You promise, Auntie? I don't want to see Xander cry on his birthday,” urges the girl.
“Yes I promise to come here tomorrow.”
“What will you come on time?” Syafira did not want the woman to trick her, coming from the moment the party was over. Isn't that the same lie?
“I will try to come on time Syafira,” replied Elena he smiled at Syafira's behavior a little reminiscent of her as a teenager. It is not easy to trust others, and always be vigilant.
Suddenly Victor and Xander spoke. The father and son walked up the stairs and chatted. Then, Victor stepped towards Syafira and Elena. while Xander, who was carried, continued to struggle spoiled around his neck.
Victor dropped Xander, the little boy who will be the fifth birthday tomorrow running towards the mother. “Mama, tomorrow Mama comes at Xander's birthday show right?” ask the little boy expectantly. He kept staring at the two beads in his eyes and waiting for an answer from her.
Syafira looked at Victor, and vice versa. The man was also waiting for the answer Elena would give. Yes, the answer that his ex-wife will give will determine what happens next. Whether he and Syafira will pretend to be dating or not!
Suddenly Vicktor's heart was pounding very fast. If only he had not accepted Syafira's wish, to pretend to be dating. Maybe he wouldn't be this excited just waiting for an answer from Elena.
“Mama! Mama's coming to my birthday party, right? Promise yes not to be late?” pinta Xander with a weld. This time Elena looked towards Victor and Syafira alternately. Think before giving an answer.
Facing directly with Xander, made Elena not wince. When dealing with Mrs Hani and Victor, he always refused. With Syafira he can still refuse. But when Xander himself who requested his presence came at the birthday party, then Elena could only agree.
“Pinky promise mama.”
“Pinky promise Xander. Mama promised Mama's coming to your birthday party tomorrow. Be on time and stand next to you. Sing a birthday party song and cut a cake with you. Mama promise!” elena said, ending her speech by peeping Xander's forehead.
“Hore,” shouted Xander, his voice breaking the silence of the house.
There were two different expressions of the two people who were in the living room at the moment. Syafira is happy because Victor inevitably has to obey his wishes. And Victor is heavy-hearted! Elena's response had made Syafira and Victor look at each other for a long time.
Xander followed his mother down to the ground floor. Now in the living room on the 2nd floor there are only Victor and Syafira. Both are busy with their own thoughts. Of the promises they have agreed.
“Om I have managed to make Aunt Elena come to Xander's birthday party,” Syafira said. He needs to make sure the promise that has been agreed upon by Om.
“Isn't that just a coincidence Syafira. Obviously Elena could not refuse, if Xander asked for it directly,” always Victor.
“What that means is that Om won't keep Om's promise to me. Does that mean Om broke Om's promise to me. Whether it was true or not, I had persuaded Aunt Elena to attend Xander's birthday party,” Syafira said she needed to say what she was doing.
Silent. Victor doesn't want to be considered a hypocrite. Without considering the good and bad. There is no choice but to keep the promise. Or, Syafira will continue to bring up the incident.
“Who said I didn't keep my word, well I want to pretend to be your girlfriend. But we can't start tonight, at least we'll wait until Xander's birthday is over.” That was the only answer that came to Victor's mind.
“What does that mean after Xander's birthday party is over we officially pretend to be dating Om?” tanya Safira. Hiding his happy expression.
Victor did not immediately give an answer. He deliberately kept Syafira waiting. It had only been about 1 minute, when Syafira began to give up waiting for an answer from him.
The man, nodding his head which means. He agrees that after the completion of Xander's birthday show they officially pretend to be dating.
