It's getting late afternoon. Ayu worries about her father who has not yet returned home. After sweeping the yard, Ayu sat in a small wooden chair in front of the house while occasionally paying attention to the path her father used to walk every time he went home to work.

There is still no sign of Ayu's father coming home. Ayu went back inside the house. Turn on the lights and return to sit in front of the terrace.

"Boyou haven't come home yet.." Ayu lirih.

The decitan of the familiar bicycle brakes made Ayu circulate her gaze to the source of the sound. Meet me! He saw the figure he had been waiting for.

"Sir.." Ayu ran over to her father.

"Why Yu? Wow, beautiful father. Have you taken a shower, Yu?" Firmly smiling to see his son spoiled to him.

"Mom why did he come home so long ago? Ayu was waiting for you." He was still in front of their porch.

Back to smiling. He picked up something that was in his bicycle. I don't know what it is. The object was wrapped in red paper back with the emblem of the famous cake shop in their city, as well as a large black crackle bag did not escape its reach.

Teguh invited Ayu into the house after handing over the package that he brought. Ayu's eyes sparkled after seeing the contents of the red paper back. A tart and cupcakes were inside the package she opened. A tart cake with Ayu's name on it.

"Happy birthday.. Sorry, I was late for the cake. It should have been yesterday.. Eaten, it's got a knife to cut." Firmly pay attention to Ayu's expression of disbelief if she currently gets a birthday cake of that size as a sign of increasing age.

"Mr.. This is really good. Must be expensive sir?" Carefully Ayu placed the cookies on the table.

"Sir..." Ayu took the first cut and gave it to her father with watery eyes. Ayu wanted to cry at how hard her father tried to make what he wanted.

"Yu, so the son of Sholehah who only fears Allah. I know what is good and not good. What to do and what not to do.. Now Ayu is second grade, going to third grade. Learn more, do not let your focus split because of our circumstances. I promise you Ayu will keep trying to be a good father to you." That gentle rubbing made Ayu cry.

"Sir.. You must have been hard-earned to buy this bread for Ayu.. Ayu apologized, sir, for asking to buy this bread.. But my money is not enough.. Sir, now don't buy any more ginian sir.. Ayu did not eat this bread as well. The origin of the father remains for Ayu.. Sir, Ayu dear father." Ayu could not help hugging that tired body.

But, today's tiredness seemed to disappear when he got a sincere hug from his little daughter. Firmly took out a backpack with a picture of the barbie that he put in black plastic. He bought it while it was still in the market. And inside there's a crayon. Ayu's eyes continued to sparkle, this was the most beautiful birthday for her.

"Tomorrow can replace your sling bag with this one huh. Old bags put the house down. And these.. I was given by the same bag seller Yu. Buy dapet bag free dye. Said you borrowed your friend's dye a lot, now you have your own. Nduk ya nduk."

"Yes sir." Ayu smelled the distinctive fragrance of the new bag, checking every part of it. It seems like tonight Ayu will sleep soundly and dream beautifully.

Happened a few hours ago..

Firmly invited to enter the cake shop that is always rame with a queue of buyers. It is certain Teguh has never entered the store. Everything sold there is not affordable filled Teguh pockets. Not even his pants pocket is in at the moment.

"What's wrong, ma'am." Honestly, Teguh is not used to the atmosphere in this place. Cold and cold at the same time.

"This is Kirun's son?" Gendis asked politely.

"Yes mbak. But you died a few years ago." Answer Firmly.

"Innalillahi wainnailaihi roji. Yes, I know mas. Mr. Kirun is a broomsticker here. Did you know?" Ask Gendis seeking truth in Teguh's speech and view. Teguh shook slowly. Of course he doesn't know, all this time he's been busy with his own family. Occasionally to his parents' house when Nur was still there. If you visit there is no chat about where and what his father's job.

"You know, this Kirun sir helped me once. When I was going to cross that road first, there was a car going to hit me. Fortunately there was a Kirun sir who saw. He ran and pulled me, thank God I am still here."

"A lot of the kindness of the deceased during his life, the person is very modest.. I knew I wanted to meet you for a long time. I want to repay Mr. Kirun by helping his family. But, sorry for a new reason now I can meet mas."

Steadfast still listening to the explanation of Gendis without interrupting at all.

"My name is Gendis. I am in charge of this place. And.. I would like to offer you to work with me. Would you?"

"Mas want my cooperation here?" Further. Firmly blinked some eyes in disbelief.

They talk about a lot of things. And Teguh who initially still looks confused and not much to say finally agreed to work at the place of Gendis. Only driver. But all of this is very much for which he is grateful. He was sure, through Gendis Allah SWT helped him.

"Mr.. May I ask, how much is this bread?" Ask Teguh to the cashier who stands next to the cake display case on display is beautiful.

"Two hundred and ten thousand sir." Answer the cashier immediately.

Steady swallowing of his saliva. That cake is expensive.. With two hundred thousand dollars, Teguh can live a week with Ayu by eating a side dish 3T (tempe tofu egg) every day, he thought.

Gendis who had just moved from his place back to the front and saw Teguh still there. He noticed Teguh carrying black plastic on his bike. When Teguh was about to leave the store, Gendis called Teguh.

"Where do you want cake? Coincidentally today there are promos and frugal packages." Gendis smiled kindly.

"Emmm.. Not mbak. No, it's not so.." Teguh knows his ability can not reach the price of the cake displayed in the storefront.

"It's nothing. In addition to promos and frugal packages, mas also dapet special price because mas want to work with me." Gendis Imbuh.

Shameful Teguh said.. "Sir.today is my son's birthday.." That's all it says from the lips. He hesitated to continue.

"Barakallah fii umrik for his son mas.. Well because I have been honest with you, want to work here too, so you can choose which cake you want for your child at home. Please.. Free mas!" I can't believe everything that happened today.

He's vilified stealing but getting a job in a place as good as this. He just wants to buy a piece of bread instead given a medium-sized tart cake and a cute cupcake as a gift from Gendis to Ayu, his daughter.
