It's My Dream (Aksara And Tone)

Surprise for Tone

That afternoon before returning home, Aksa went to the cafe ria. He hadn't been to that place for a long time and had a chat with his old friend. He will also order catering for his show.

"A long time no here? Busy with wife?"

Aksa sat in front of the bar, where the barista named Malik was relaxed during the day. "Yes, he's busy as well."

"Well, sir the achievement teacher is getting brighter. I'm an engineer near you."

"Insecure times, Mal. That's why you go to high school" said Adit who came and joined them.

"High school gue?! High School often misses. Lazy think. Good thing there's a boss who's a bachelor graduate like me."

"Where's boss?" ask Aksa.

"Just get home, come back here in the afternoon. Busy family now. Don't talk about pity. What do you need to come here? Want to order some food?"

"I'd like to order a caterer for Thursday. The three-monthly event."

These two old friends of Aksa laughed. "Udah is three months. Totally tokcer. What menu do you want?"

"I usually order 50 pax. Sited late in the afternoon before Maghrib, I'd like to order a tart."

"Make?"

"Thank you surprise birthday. That day happened to be Nada's birthday so I give you a surprise" Aksa said, smiling. The more days it feels he is more in love and affection with his wife.

"So very sweaty. We just worked with AE cake and bakery." Adit handed me a catalog book containing complete pictures of various cakes produced. "Have Juna's sister."

"Juna's sister? Not that she's..." Aksa Juna is a poor orphan.

"Well, strange is this world. I also did not expect him to have a sultan's brother. His life is delicious and guaranteed but instead choose part-time work here and there. Teaching at your place too, right?"

"Yes, nice dong. Can be independent," said Aksa while flipping through the catalog book looking for a cake model that Nada likes.

"Sister-in-law's candidate."

Aksa is laughing. "A similar Juna? I think Tiara was heartbroken yesterday. I don't know if I don't interfere in young people's affairs." Aksa's choice stops at a heart-white tart cake with red and pink rose decorations. Simple enough but very elegant. "This one is. Later you guys bring the night to surprise after the mother-mom event. You guys I invited everyone home to be a cheer team."

"Wey, eat-eat but love all cafe cuisine. I'm bored of you." They both laughed together.

"Calm down, make you have your own menu from mom."

"What's this writing, Sa?" ask Adit while noting Aksa's order.

"That's simple. Do'a on the cake is not important, the important thing is do'a poured in a third of the night."

"Wow, in a very lo."

They continued chatting while laughing. Not to forget Aksa also ordered spaghetti bolognese favorite Nada to take him home.

...***...

Tone looked at himself in front of the mirror with a white robe matching his hijab. That day was the three-month interlude of Nada's pregnancy. He and Aksa invited the mothers of his se RT studies to pray and pray do'a for the good of the fetus.

"It's really pretty." Aksa, who was wearing a white cocoa shirt, hugged his wife from behind. "Second to us." Aksa's hand now gently rubbed the belly of the already slightly visible Tone. "Udah looks his stomach. Anxious."

The tone followed Aksa's hand rubbing her stomach. "Yes, it's been 4 months, Mom."

"Healthy yeah. Can't wait to see you soon."

"Yes, Mas."

Nada just stared at Aksa. She was actually waiting for something from her husband.

"People are starting to come. Yuk." yuk." Aksa just precedes Nada out of the room.

"Ih, Mas Aksa cook does not know anyway." muttered Nada and followed her husband to the living room. In the living room there are already two parents Aksa, Papa and his brother Nada. They also welcomed the mothers who began to arrive.

After all, the show began. Nada was very touched to hear the beautiful sholawat, the chanting of the holy verse of the Qur'an which is very melodious, then the good do'a-do'a offered to Nada and her future baby. So thrilling was the tone that made him powerless to hold back a single tear.

Aksa gave a tissue to Nada when she saw the tears of Nada dripping. He now grabbed the body while rubbing his arm.

After the do'a reading is over, it is time to be cordial. They enjoy the various menus presented while occasionally tempting Aksa and Nada.

"I think her daughter is a girl, her mother is very beautiful" said Ms Ratna, whose home is near the T-junction.

"I guess not, from the beginning of pregnancy want to see her husband climbing my mango fruit. It must be a guy" said Miss Rima.

"Well, every night must also climb often."

Aksa just shook her head while smiling. The words of the mothers are indeed less filtered.

"The food was delicious all right. Recommended. Order where?"

"In the cafe where Mas Aksa worked first. Recommended indeed."

"It could be, if there's a message show here."

The mothers were still chatting while chewing their food. When finished, one by one began to say goodbye.

"Health until the day."

"Yes mom, thank you for coming."

After all the mothers came home, Nada helped pack the scattered glasses and plates.

"Na, let it be lifted up Aksa. You come with me for a minute to the back."

"Yes." Yeah." Tone followed Miss Diana towards the kitchen.

Actually it was just a diversion on Aksa's plan.

After Aksa and Satya tidied up the living room, the cafe team came up with some simple decorations to decorate the living room flash. Without any noise of course.

A tart decorated with candles is placed on the table.

"You bring Nada here, let's get the rest done."

"Don't forget to close his eyes to be truly surprised."

Aksa walked towards the kitchen where Nada was arranging fried food on a plate. From behind Aksa instantly closed Nada's eyes with a long cloth that made Nada a little surprised.

"Beautiful," whispered Aksa so that Nada was not too surprised.

"Ih, Mum. Want what?" The tone followed Aksa's body and upon arriving in the living room, Aksa opened her blindfold. Both eyes are perfectly rounded when they see a beautiful tart cake complete with candles and a balloon decoration that reads Happy Birthday Tone.

His chest was pounding even more as Aksa gave him a flower while kissing his cheek.

"Happy birthday dear... May long life, healthy always, smooth until the day." One hand Aksa now rubbed the stomach of Tone. "All the best do'a for you..."

Tone smiled with tears that had drenched his cheeks.....
