Grace of Love

Luna's Birthday

Nindi looked at the screen of her phone after she finished contacting Edel. There was a photo of her clad in a pretty wedding dress in the arms of the man she loved so much. The man he so desperately missed was half dead. Wish he was okay out there, and back in good health and well.

Nindi sighed her nasafanya deeply, she was unaware that there were eyes watching her from a distance. Nindi's feelings arrived even though it wasn't spoken with words. His face and eyes explained how he was feeling right now.

Ellie carried a tray of warm green bean porridge that she made specifically for Nindi. A healthy breakfast is needed so that the mother and the prospective baby are healthy and stay awake despite so many problems that befall them.

“Think what Nin.” Ellie's voice broke Nindi's daydream. “Have not much thought, now eat first Mamah make breakfast green bean porridge.” Nindi fixed her seat.

“Padahat last night Nindi just craved green bean porridge, it's like we have an inner bond huh Mah.” Ellie smiled, when last night she accidentally heard the voice of Nindi who craved green bean porridge, and was healthy. So Ellie happily made it.

Nindi seemed to enjoy it. Ellie was happy to see Nindi trying so hard to look okay.

“Wah-wah, why are you eating without asking Dad.” Nindi smiled seeing Edwin who appeared and wrestled on his wife's shoulders.

“Please Daddy wash your hands first, after that I prepare the best bean porridge in the whole universe.” Reply Ellie teases Edwin.

“Trust Mah, look Nindi up greedily so eat a bowl full.” Nindi just laughed at the behavior of the two parents who were now looking after her.

“Holiday where to Nin?” Nindi thought hard, there was no shadow. “You're coming with Dad no? I want to visit Prabu, Luna's birthday.

“Can I come? I don't feel too close to Luna.” Edwin did not respond. Still looking for the right words. “Is Luna not angry if I come? I was afraid to ruin the mood.

“Luna is not a grumpy and vindictive girl, she is kind. Just like kamun Nin, he would definitely not mind the presence of the three of us.” Ellie answered wisely, she knew luna very well.

“True what Mamah said, Luna pretty good girl.”

The conversation came to a halt as the house bell rang, not long before Bi Inah came to inform who came. Edwin met an uninvited guest who came this early. His friendly face turned hostile.

“Out! Jang shows your face in front of Putiku.” Edwin came out and Antoni followed him from behind. “Why? Whatever happens won't change my decision to send you to jail.” Edwin ruffled his waist looking at Antoni's sinister face.

“Master, I beg you. Give me mercy Mr.” Antoni was standing in front of Edwin.

“No, don't expect anything, and quickly go from before me.” Edwin asks the housekeeper to take Antoni out of his yard.

Edwin had long sought the whereabouts of Antoni who just disappeared, with the help of various parties quickly the existence of Antoni was soon found. Edwin locked all business relationships until Antoni went bankrupt and could not run his business. He can't move anywhere.

Edwin promised not to involve Nindi in this matter. He's been too much of a burden, not good for himself and his guts. He had asked Abrar and Ezra not to discuss the accident that was done by Antoni. The case is now under Edwin's supervision so that Antoni gets the right reward.

Antoni is still free to move because direct evidence has not been found by the investigators. He's still kink if the one who did is not himself. He often comes because he and Cakra are business partners. Their relationship is very close, it is difficult for Edwin to prove if Antoni is guilty and the mastermind in the case of car destruction that caused Cakra accident.

Edwin returned home after successfully easing his emotions. Not wanting to be emotional in front of people she cares about.

During the day Edwin, Ellie and Nindi leave for Prabu's house. There is a small party that Prabu title to welcome the birthday of the Princess only wayangnya.

The trip was far enough to make Nindi sleep comfortably. Pregnancy makes it easy to sleep and makes it easy to feel tired. Ellie slowly patted Nindi's hand as it had arrived.

“Sorry...I overslept.” Nindi tidied her hair that was definitely disheveled. Ellie helped to fix the dress that Nindi was wearing.

“That's okay, slow down Nak.” Edwin reached out his hand after Ellie finished helping Nindi get ready. Help Nindi to get down safely and comfortably without getting hurt. “Stay beautiful despite just waking up.” Nindi's lips drew a smile when she heard Edwin's words. Lost all worry about his appearance.

Luna ran from the inside when she saw the arrival of Edwin and his family. “Dad.....!!!!!” Shouted Luna so warmly welcoming their arrival.

“How long ago, stuck huh Yah?” Luna asked as usual. “Sound healthy?” Hugging Ellie. “Kak Nindi is beautiful once.”

Edwin hugged Luna who was like his own daughter. “How old is Princess Dad now? When you grew up, son, I remember when you used to cry.” Luna blushed in embarrassment, she was indeed very spoiled and childish.

“Don't discuss it Daddy, I'm shy.” Luna's whisper made Edwin laugh. “Let's go in, Prabu's dad is waiting for us. Mom also cook our favorite food.”

There was a feeling of jealousy that Nindi felt seeing the closeness of the two parents Ivar with Luna. The girl who was betrothed to Ivar but ended up marrying him.

Edwin clasped Nindi's hand tightly, as if he understood how Nindi felt. Luna had already passed while holding Ellie, her beloved mother. They are very close.

It turns out that many of Luna's friends have come, the atmosphere is crowded. There are several business relations that are also invited to enliven the small parties that Prabu titles. The party that Luna craved was not in existence because some time ago Luna acted and made Prabu unable to forgive him easily.

Luna is grateful even though she is small, Prabu still cares about her. Luna thought that there would be no birthday party for her.

The figure of the man that Nindi was very familiar with smiled at him. Although he often met at the office, it felt awkward to meet at Luna's birthday party like this. Edwin did not let go of his hand. He did not like to see Gunar's smile so sincerely on Nindi.

“Hai Nin, how are you?” Gunar stretched out his hand. Edwin held Nindi's hand, and instead he welcomed Gunar's hand.

“If it's not wrong, you're Gunar yah.” To nod, he felt that Edwin's attitude was the same as his son's attitude towards him. Chilly.

“Really Uncle. I am Gunar, I am one office with Nindi.” To reply politely.

“You're a great young man. Prabu used to tell me. Looks like he's interested in you, there's no harm in having a good relationship. Who knows if you are dating Luna. She's a good girl.” Conversations that make the atmosphere even more awkward.

“Uncle could have, good Uncle. I'm permission to go outside for a moment.” Gunar is uncomfortable.

“Oh yes, Nindi must be hungry too. Come son, my grandson would like to taste the food that is here.” Nindi passes leaving Gunar who is still smiling at her.

Seeing Edwin's treatment remind him of Ivar, they were very similar. Nindi felt she was being watched by Ivar while with Edwin.

Nindi sat sweetly waiting for the food to come, Edwin did not let Nindi around, afraid of fatigue.

“Nak try this. It's very tasty.” Ellie appeared out of nowhere carrying a typical Bandung siomay.

“You got siomay too?” Edwin looked at both hands.

“It's so delicious, it looks like I'll spend two servings. It's very delicious.” Nindi has eaten a lot since she became pregnant.

“Can you eat a lot of siomay?” Edwin's question though was happy to see Nindi was very appetite.

“Bby Tuan. Just don't eat one full pan, danger!” Dr Chirps. Brasko was also invited by Prabu.

“Doctor, long time ago we did not see.” Edwin welcomed Brasko, edwin flocked Brasko with a variety of questions related to pregnancy.

“Mah, I'm going to toliet for a while. I can't stand.”

“You are friends not?” Rose Ellie.

Nindi shook her head as she passed, she often went back and forth the bathroom unable to resist urinating. Nindi ran small because she couldn't stand it. He didn't notice any water spilling on the floor.

Sleekerr......

Gunar held back Nindi's body that almost fell down slipped. Nindi still closed her eyes.

“Nin, are you okay? Does anyone hurt?” Gunar's voice made him realize. Reflek Nindi hugged Gunar for being very grateful. Gunar patted Nindi's shoulder soothingly.

“Thank you brother, I was really scared earlier.” Nindi held onto her already slightly visible stomach. Gunar realized, there is something Nindi is protecting at this time.

“Nothing Nin, you're safe.” Nindi released herself from Gunar's embrace. “You want to to toliet?” Nindi nodded. “I'll wait here. Login.”

Nindi's heart was still pounding uncontrollably, regretting not being careful and almost wretched. Nindi held back her tears, her feelings were mixed with nothing. Guilt makes you emotional.

Nindi came out bowing her head. “Why Nin? You okay?” Nindi nodded but her eyes glazed over.

Distraught, he simply leads Nindi back to the dining table where Edwin and Ellie are.

Looking at Nindi's sad face, Edwin wondered while looking at Gunar. “He hurt you?” Show Edwin to Gunar standing in front of him. Nindi.

“Kak Gunar helped me.” Nindi replied softly but still heard.

“You injured?” Edwin and Ellie examine Nindi's body. “What's the son of? Why?” Ellie asked so curiously.

Ellie chose to hug Nindi who did not answer. There was only sadness on Nindi's face. “Quiet Nak, there's Mamah here.” Nindi sipped the warm tea that Edwin brought. Now his feelings are calm.

Luna came to bring a birthday cake that was so tempting. Luna politely bribed him to Nindi, Edwin and Ellie.

“We must be friends yes Brother, I've been like their Princess, let's forget the unpleasant feelings that have passed.” Nindi nodded in relief, it turned out that Luna was more mature than she looked. He is very wise and appreciative of others, unlike his prejudices when he did not know him well.
