Oh, Apparently!
Gibriel Alexander
“Wow.” Only 1 word came out of my mouth. I was amazed to see the view in front of me. I am now in Restaurant Segarra, I came here because I was taught by Vindy, my beloved sister. Friends on birthday. Her birthday is really late, if I don't come along who takes care of Vindy? Vindy is the only family I have left alive.
The glittering decorative lights that hang across the trees, add to the glitter of this park in addition to functioning as almost the only source of lighting in addition to the large spot lights that radiate towards the stage in front of the pool. Dozens of teenagers huddle together, enjoy stand up party dishes, enjoy the music and share stories with each other. A girl who became the center of view seemed to stand gracefully next to the table with a pile of gifts, smilingly welcoming every guest who came and wishing her a happy birthday.
Suddenly the lights were stretched, the MC voice distracted everyone who was there. A row of lights forming the inscription “HAPPY SWEET 17 Helena” light up bright as background MC body cungkring it.
Gluey!
I swallowed spit. What is Helena's birthday? What is the same name as the person I love in we chat? A thousand questions were lodged in my brain. “Maybe the same name,” piker me.
“Yes, Helena, before blowing the candle, any make a wish to say? There must be a dong.Bole know dong,” said MC stretched out his mic towards the girl in white dress who looked shy smile. “Or, there is a special person who might want to be invited to make a wish?”
The main event has already started. Good, it means soon my suffering standing in a crowd of people I don't know is coming to an end.
“There,” his reply was greeted by cheers from his guests.
Jeez natural times, a beautiful girl with an Indonesian face like it has a bustle. Why the hell at play cheers of all. I nudged Vindy's shoulder which turned out to be cheering her on as well.
“Take the mood,” he said as he her grinned.
“Wah, ternayat he already has a gebetan! Well, make a broken heart,” said MC who tried to pull out his clothes to brighten the atmosphere. “Who? Who's nih?”
“In a few hours, she is also birthday,” said Helena give clue.
“Wah, who is it. Any other clue?”
“Dia high, handsome, pinter. Anyway, he's the most perfect guy I've ever met,” he replied shyly as he was greeted with cheers again.“He's here kok.”
“Oh yaaaaaaaaaa? Whoaaaaaaa?” the MC is more and more.Dead to change his suit with a wide collared shirt, maybe he could be the MC of a music show on TV.
“She's my best friend's sister, Vindy.” she replied as she gave a pause, smiling towards Vindy who was standing nearby. “Gibriel Alexander..”
Vindy elbowed me hard, waking me up from daydreams as all eyes were on me. “Elo called tuh.”
“Hah? Summoned? What?” Ask me confused. I was too busy with the daydream.
“Come dong Gibriel, don't be shy! Here!” MC shouted with a crisp sound accompanied by the clapping of others who called for a similar word.
Vindy pushed me while whispering. “Udahlah Kak, just accept. Counting fortune, anyways from shame. After all, you are looking for a soul mate again. Aji is a mumpung! Honey, a girl as beautiful as Helena is wasted.”
“The problem I do not know,” protest me after understanding everything that happened. Vindy looked at me while showing off her ignorant whimper, while I looked at Helena with a hopeful look. Damnit damnit!
What was my dream last night? Ahead of my birthday I shot a girl in public? But come to think of it correctly said Vindy, a girl as beautiful as Helena dear was wasted.
On the stage I bengong kayak ompong cow confused to do what. “Gibriel, actually I've been in love with you for a long time but I'm waiting for the right time to reveal it. Gibriel won't be my girlfriend?” helena blushed in embarrassment.
Times are crazy. Now it's not guys who express love but girls. I scratched my head without itching. I swear, confused what to answer. I refuse or accept Helena's love.
I looked at Helena's face. Up close Helena had thick eyebrows, white skin, and thin lips somewhat red. Like the people I love in our chat.
“Hel, before I answer your question I want to go to lo first, may not?”
“You want what?”
“What do you do during these 3 months that chat ma me in we chat?”
“Yes, I must admit you chat with me. You are also the one who slowly heals the wounds of my heart. What was the question?”
Miraculously, the world is narrow. The person I love in we chat is in front of mat ague. It's an unexpected coincidence. This second was also convinced that Helena was my soul mate. “Yes, I love you too. And want to be your girlfriend,” I said.
Everyone cheered. My heart is also again cheering because before my birthday I get a beautiful girl. I can't wait to graduate from college so I can marry Helena.

4 Years Later
Kringg …!
The sound of the clock wipes out my whole beautiful dream. Ouch, why does the clock sound all the way? I just slept. With my eyes closed I fumbled at the table beside the bed, want to see what time it is?
Yes, I finally found the alarm clock. I opened my eyes immediately I saw a short clock to the number 5, while the long clock to the number 12. So, 5pm dong? I remember I was sleeping at 2pm. Tumben-tumbenan my alarm clock sounds at 5 pm? Yes, but now I want to sleep again.
***** … *****
Just now I want to close my eyes now the HP that sounds. Ah, sucks! Why HP and the alarm clock sound in the near future. I again fumbled the bed looking for HP that was clumping somewhere. After I met I saw the HP screen, to find out who the hell is calling or texting me at this hour? Just disturb me from sleeping!
It turns out that my guess was wrong. HP sound is not because there are sms or people calling but an alarm clock. On the HP screen it says Anniversary I same Helena who is 4 years old.
My eyes were wide open to see the writing on the HP screen. I swear, I forgot today is Helena's fourth birthday. I got up from my sleep and rushed to the bathroom. Can say hello to Helena if I arrive late.
