This afternoon Brother Fatha went to a meeting of the members of OSIS. Therefore, my chemistry studies today were canceled. I also choose to spend time with my friends. It's been a long time since I've been with them.
We chose a table with a long bench when we were in the cafeteria. Because only this place can accommodate me and my friends who are quite a lot. We are ten people. Enough to replace Cherrybelle with a manager.
Half of my bowl of chicken noodles is gone. That's all I've been quiet listening to my friends throwing gossip at each other. I chose silence, because I had no idea what they were talking about. And it's natural. One day not with them alone, surely I will be the least updated person in school.
"Eh, yes, Han. Why did you suddenly come out of the WA school grub?" Rani asked in the middle of the conversation of our other friends.
I was shocked, but tried to stay calm. "Oh, that. Nonexistent. I was busy talking to Rain. So, I'm just gonna be uncomfortable with that crowded notification." Answer me origin.
"Oh, so. You see that night your twelfth grader gosipin, you see. You don't see the grub." Rani spoke in an unusual tone.
"really? I didn't open it at all. And I can't believe they're gossiping about me. You don't make it up, deh." I pretended not to believe Rani's words so she wouldn't think anything strange about me and Brother Fatha.
"Do you not believe?" Rani raises her tone an octave, "I'll ask, same friends."
Rani's voice was realized by my other friends. They were focused on us. I also tried to make Rani not discuss it with other friends. Because if they talk about this I'll burn because of the story they told more. "I believe it, really!" I said it quickly.
"What do you talk about, anyway?" Asked Rasel who was trying to break his curiosity.
Rani turned her gaze towards Rasel. I grabbed Rani by the thigh to give her a warning. "Ah, you want to know. It's my business with Hany." Rani understood what I meant. I felt good about Rani's answer. I also took off my grip.
"You lied. Let's story! Uh, you Hany, you've only been missing for two weeks already covered up something from us. Come on now story!" Rasel said with a threatening expression.
I smiled, "What the hell, Cell. Not important, either. Rani was the same as me, 'are you ready or haven't made a repeat tomorrow?'. Yep.. I said, 'It's been'." I said.
I suddenly remembered my scheduled chemical replay tomorrow morning. This is my third replay after my two previous failed replicas. I have to get good grades this time. So that I can cover the value of my previous remedial replay. If my score is good tomorrow, I will ask for additional questions to complete my replay value which is still red.
"You lied, Han! Rani sounded a bit like that, you know." Tukas Rasel's.
"Ah, your feelings are just that, mah. I don't have a kayak, so. Yeah, right Han?" Ask Rani.
Regardless of Rani's question, I immediately say goodbye to my friends. "Eh, guys, I go first, yeah. I have a sudden business. Melsi, please pay first, I'll change." Melsi nodded as well. I got out of my seat after sipping a glass of water. My friends just looked at me dumbfoundedly like they were looking at a Korean artist who had just passed by.
I went from the canteen to the OSIS room. The door of the room was still closed, indicating their meeting was not yet completed. A loud noise sounded faintly from inside there. I feel curious. Where is Fatha, huh?
I pushed the door that was not closed. Instantly the door gave a blemish that displayed part of the meeting room. I also closer my body to the door to see the situation inside to make it clearer. At once the face of Brother Fatha I managed to find.
"Hey! What are?"
I was shocked when I heard the man's voice. I immediately turned around and found the figure of Kak Toriq standing behind me with two large boxes raised.
I smiled kindly at the head of the OSIS. "Eh, Brother Toriq. Sorry, sister, I just want to see Brother Fatha. I have a need. Brother's going inside, huh?" Tanyaku.
When I entered the OSIS room, I was immediately greeted by the wide gaze of Brother Fatha. Of course he was surprised to see me walk into the OSIS room with the OSIS chairman again. No exception with other members who also focus on me.
I also put the cardboard in the place requested by Kak Tariq. Then Kak Tariq also thanked and whispered to Brother Fatha. After that, Brother Fatha stood up and took me out of the room.
"What's up Hany? Why did Hany come to see Brother here?" Ask Brother Fatha in the calmest tone possible.
"Sorry interfering. But I want to close the book that you brought yesterday. Brother forgot, tomorrow's my chemistry schedule." I said with a doubtful tone.
He smiled, "Sister, I have not forgotten. Brother remembers, really. The book is in the bag. I'll go home from school, brother, yeah."
I nodded, "Please, Brother." I said while returning his smile. "Then I'll go first. Soon the bell will ring."
Brother Fatha nodded. I smiled a little before turning around to leave. However, when I had walked two steps I felt my hand held by Brother Fatha. I spontaneously stopped with wide eyes. "Happy birthday, Hany." Speak softly. I immediately turned my body to look at the sweet smiling face of Brother Fatha there.
I looked at her with a turbulent feeling in my chest. With a happy smile I said, "Thank you, Brother Fatha." For now I want to hug her. But I still realized that it was impossible for me to do. Just getting the first birthday from her I was happy. And I can't believe the person I just met remembers my birthday better than my own parents. I also let go of my hand from Brother Fatha's grip. And left her with a very happy heart.

"Happy birthday, Hany!"
I was shocked to see my family members gathered together in one house. There are already Father, Mother, Brother Ina, Grandpa and also Bu Mega. I ran towards those who were busy singing birthday songs. I also blew out the candle held by Mother when the song they sang was finished. I'm so happy.
"There are many fathers, Mother.. I don't think you guys remember it's my birthday." I said when I hugged Mom and Dad.
They also returned my embrace. "Of course we remember our only daughter's birthday." Said Dad.
I turned to Brother Ina, hugged her tightly and said my pearl words.
Then I approached Grandpa and Mega. With the smile they had between her white moustache, I hugged her tightly. Tears are running down my cheeks. "We don't realize time is passing by so quickly. I've been a 17-year-old girl. However, I feel like just yesterday I was on Grandpa's lap." I said while sobbing in tears.
"You'll always be Grandpa's little girl. Even though one day you will be edited by another family." Said Grandfather while rubbing my head that was leaning against his chest.
I wiped my tears and moved closer to Bu Mega. He smiled gently at me too. "Happy birthday, Hany. Here I bring you a gift. But it might not be too good." Bu Mega also handed me a gift with the flower motif. I also accept the gift of Bu Mega with pleasure. I don't know why since our meeting that day I have a different view of Bu Mega now. I can say I don't hate him anymore. I hugged him too. "Thank you very much, Mega Ma'am." My speech. He also returned my embrace. "Together, Hany." The reply.
"If it's been 17 years, his hate has to end, dong. Kan, it's big. It's been realized dong, if hate the same person is not good." Said Dad mocking me.
"Dad...!!" My scream.
They all laugh. It was the happiest day for me. The series of events that occurred all I remember until now. And the most memorable thing that day was when I got my first Android phone. The phone I got from Dad and Mommy as the fulfillment of his promise to me. I'm so happy.
