Sulis and Ahmad sat on the terrace of Sulis' house at night. The air becomes cooler with the night getting late. Sulis felt that there was something Ahmad wanted to say.
"Last day, you said you wanted a surprise for me tonight. What's up?" ask Sulis.
Ahmad replied, "Yes, so it is. I've been thinking for a long time to give you a surprise on your birthday. And I'm ready for it all."

"Sulis, how are you?" ask the familiar voice from the side of the phone.
"Ahmadh! Good news. You?" sulis said with a cheerful voice.
"just fine. Sulis, I have some good news for you. You remember our plan to go to Bali?" ask Ahmad.

After three exhausting and experiential days, the two of them returned to Jakarta with a big smile on their faces. They felt so grateful for having made such a fun journey together.
While back in Jakarta, Sulis invited Ahmad to his house for dinner together. While they were having dinner, Sulis recalled the golden bracelet Ahmad had given him.

Finally, the night ended with a warm and cheerful atmosphere. Sulis and Ahmad also slept with a happy heart because they had made good memories together on a trip to Bali.
However, an unexpected surprise happened the next day. Sulis received a call from Ahmad telling him he must leave Jakarta in the near future because he had received a job offer abroad.
"Write, I know this all of a sudden, but I've got an incredible job offer in Singapore. I have to leave Jakarta soon" Ahmad said in a sad voice.
Sulis was shocked and saddened to hear the news. He felt the loss of a friend who was so close and did not know how to face the future without the presence of Ahmad.
"I understand, Ahmad. I feel so sad to hear this news. But I'm sure you'll succeed there, and I'll always pray for you" Sulis replied in a choked voice.
They both pause momentarily, then Ahmad spoke up. "Soul, I have a surprise for you. I've been planning something before I have to get out of here" he said.
Sulis was curious and wondered what Ahmad was planning. He remained saddened by the impending separation, but also became curious about the surprise Ahmad would give him.
"What is it, Ahmad? What surprise?" asked Sulis with mixed feelings.
"Wait a minute, you'll find out. I'll tell you more tomorrow" Ahmad said with a smile on his lips.

Sulis felt so moved by Ahmad's actions. He felt lucky because he still had a friend as good as Ahmad who always gave surprise and happiness in his life.
Finally, they both left for Singapore as friends who always supported each other. They explore the city and spend time together like inseparable true friends. And Sulis felt that Ahmad would always be a part of his life, despite being separated by distance and time.
Eventually, Sulis realized that despite the shock Ahmad gave him was shocking and sometimes saddened him, but it was all part of their strong friendship.
