...Happy birthday, to you......
...Happy birthday to Aslan...🎶...
Aslan blew out the number 2 shaped candle on top of a mini tart. Aslan and her two brothers, Danish and Miya look happy.
"Happy birthday, dear Aslan," said the Princess while hugging her two-year-old son.
"Teima acih," replied Aslan with a style of speech that has not been smooth.
"Happy birthday to Daddy's whiz." Marco hugged and kissed his youngest son.
Danish and Miya also hugged their little sister at the same time. The princess cut the cake into three pieces.
"Daddy and Mommy don't get cake, because Aslan's birthday cake is so small it's not like Miya's birthday cake used to be" Miya said.
"It's okay, baby. Mommy and Daddy are still full. This cake is for the three of you" said the Princess with a smile and rubbed Miya's head gently.
"Daddy is sorry, because Daddy hasn't been able to buy a big cake. Later if Daddy already has a lot of money, Daddy will buy a big birthday cake every birthday you guys," said Marco with a regretful face.
"It's okay, Daddy. We were happy even though the cake was small but it looked delicious. Isn't that Miya, Aslan?" sahut Danish's.
"Yes," cried Miya and Aslan with a smile.
Marco and the Princess are moved to see their three children who can still smile happily in the difficult times they are facing today, because their economic conditions are not good.
"Aiyah Atan?" ask Aslan.
Marco fell silent.
"Aslan is a good and great Daddy and Mommy kid. Aslan's birthday gift is very special and requires a ghost so it is a bit long coming, because the road is jammed. Later if the gift has come, Mommy will immediately give it to Aslan. Aslan was patient first yes," said the Princess so that her son was not too disappointed.
"Yes, Mommy. Atan tundu aiyahna," replied Aslan excitedly.
Marco rubbed the corner of his eyes that began to water, because he could not make his little family happy.
Helena who had been watching from afar, shed tears at the togetherness of Marco's small family. Axel touched his shoulder.
"Go and give these toys to them" Axel said, wiping away his wife's tears.
"Honey..," said Helena.
"Calm down, I'll do my best" Axel said.
Helena nodded. Axel and Helena enter the restaurant.
"Happy birthday, Aslan" said Helena.
Marco and the Princess are shocked to see the arrival of Axel and Helena.
"Axel, Helen!" exclaim Marco.
Helena nodded with a smile.
"It's a birthday present for Aslan." Helena handed over one of the paperbags she had brought to Aslan.
"But, Helen," protested the Princess.
Helena blinked her eyes.
"Aiyah Atan?" Aslan looked very excited.
"Yes, dear Aslan. It belongs to Aslan. Because the jam is gone, so the reward can come quickly" replied Helena.
"Yes... Acquaintances..." Aslan accepted it with a happy face.
"And this is a gift for Danish and Miya."
Helena handed over the other two paperbags to Danish and Miya. Danish and Miya were very happy as they also got the reward.
"Danish, Miya. What do you say to Mr Axel and Mrs Helena?" ask Princess.
"Thank you, Mr and Mrs" said the two.
"Call aunty and uncle. Equally, darling. Hope you like it."
"We thank you so much Axel and Helena" said Marco, moved with embarrassment.
"Either. We are also happy to see your children happy" replied Helena.
"Do you want to have coffee with me, Marco?" ask Axel.
"Of course."
Axel and Marco were sitting at a table a little far away. The two ordered coffee and talked to each other.
"One more time I say thank you, Helen," said the Princess with an unpleasant face.
"Already Put. Don't be like that. Look at the happiness created in their faces" Helena said.
The daughter shed tears watching her three children play their new toys.
"What happened Princess? Why are you guys doing this? To my knowledge, didn't Marco work as an employee at a company?" ask Helena.
The princess took a long breath. "Everything Marco did work at one of the companies in New York. He served as a manager at the company. Our financial condition was very good, even though we had to live separately. Because Marco just comes home every weekend because his company is in a different city."
"And exactly two months ago, there was a reduction in employees at the company where Marco worked. Marco was one of those employees. In addition, the company withdrew all the facilities that we had received," explained Putri.
"Then, where does Marco work now?" ask Helena.
"Marco has included job application letters in several companies, but still not windfall. Slowly, the savings we had were running out. Finally, Marco received a job offer as a food delivery service at one of the pizza restaurants," said Putri.
"Then, what about Marco's family?"
The princess shook her head. "They've totally dumped Marco. And all because of me. They won't accept me, who's an ex-con as the daughter-in-law of their family."
Helena took a long breath. Helena is very familiar with the character and temperament of her two former in-laws. At the other table, Axel and Marco begin to sip their coffee and chat.
"So, you have a PHK from the company you worked for before" Axel said.
Marco nodded with a faint smile. Axel pursed his lips.
"When do you want to keep the truth from your family, Marco? Things don't work out well if they're based on a lie."
Marco stared in disbelief at Axel, and before long he chuckled softly.
"You deserve to be the daughter-in-law of the God Analyst, Axel."
Marco took a slow breath. "I didn't want to lie either, but I was forced to do it because I didn't want to hurt my wife."
Axel observed Marco's face that looked not as brave as before. A handsome face, firm and has high self-confidence turned into a man who is inferior.
"It looks like you really love that woman" Axel said with a mocking face.
"His name is Princess, not that woman. Please don't call it that. I know you're still angry and hateful about my wife, but she's still the woman I married and the mother of my son, Axel" Marco protested.
"All right," Axel said a little reluctantly.
Marco took a long breath.
"Honestly, our relationship is not the same as a husband and wife relationship in general. We were more impressed as friends who worked hand in hand to raise our three children. Although Danish and Miya were not her flesh and blood, the Princess loved them as much as her affection for Aslan."
"And you love her, don't you?" cerca Axel's.
Marco shrugged both his shoulders. "I don't know myself. But honestly I feel comfortable with him, even without any physical contact between us" Marco replied with a smile.
"Why not? Your marriage is legal and official" Axel said.
"I don't want to impose my will on him, Axel. My two previous marriages failed and were ruined because I was overrun by hawa nap su. And I don't want that to happen again. Besides I don't know if in his heart there's me, or if there's still love for you."
Axel scrunched his forehead. "Omong empty. I strictly forbid any woman to save
feelings for me, other than my beloved wife, Helena."
"But you're not God, Axel. You can't control everyone's heart" said Marco, who Axel looked annoyed.
Danish, Miya and Aslan were playing at the children's playground in the restaurant. They are very excited to play the new toy they just got.
"Do you still have feelings for my husband, Princess?" ask Helena who immediately made the Princess wide.
"Why are you asking like that, Helena?"
"Maybe it's because you still hold feelings for Axel, making your relationship and Marco seem stiff" said Helena.
The princess chuckled softly. "I'm still sane, Helena. And I realized that what I felt for Axel was not love, but an obsession and ambition that my mother had instilled since childhood. I don't even know what love is like. And I think Marco still has feelings for you."
"That's impossible, Princess. Our relationship was good, even though we were ex-husbands and ex-wives. Trust me, there's no love in Marco's heart for me. I'm sure of that" said Helena.
"What are you guys talking about? It seems very exciting" exclaimed Marco who had returned with Axel.
"T-there's none. Just a little chat. Defend Helena," replied the Princess who looked wrong.
Helena nodded and nodded. Then immediately stand beside Axel. Both are going to say goodbye.
"Marco!" exclaimed a beautiful woman who was hugging the arms of a tall burly man.
"Miss Barbara" said Marco with a surprised look.
The princess looked towards Barbara. A very beautiful woman, tall and sexy, looks very classy. "Who is this woman?"
Barbara looked towards the Princess with a condescending look.
"So, this is your ex-convict wife."
The princess lowered her face in embarrassment. Barbara looked at the Princess from top to bottom and smiled cynically.
"Low woman. You're a very stupid man, Marco. You rejected a woman as perfect as me, even though I had promised you a high position just to live with the scum of society like her in poverty."
"What?" shriek the Princess while looking towards Barbara with wide eyes.
