53. Want to Apply

It turns out that at home Anna deliberately did not prepare any events to celebrate the birthday of her youngest child. He felt it was not the right time to celebrate the anniversary because at this time their family formation was not complete. Anna intends to invite Nicko out to buy his favorite toy to replace the moment of celebration of Nicko's age.

During her escape to Riko's house, Bayan forbids Anna and Nicko from seeing Nathan. That's because Bayan was worried that the body scent that Nathan left when they met and hugged would be again sniffed by the disembodied head creature. Bayan does not want his efforts to keep Nathan in vain because the creature can still smell Nathan's body and will return to follow Nathan.

When Nicko came out of the room after cleaning himself, he was greeted by the mother with a smile on his face.

"Happy Birthday Mother. May long life, so children sholeh, healthy always, added pinter, a lot of rezeqi, happy world and achherat. Aamiin ...," Anna said as she hugged Nicko tightly.

Nicko's face in Anna's arms seemed to be blushing. He is both happy and ashamed. Apparently Nicko knew he had a birthday that day because his classmates had congratulated him earlier.

"Aamiin, thanks Bund," said Nicko as Anna broke her arms.

"I'm sorry to Daddy, son. We haven't been able to give you a festive birthday party because we don't have the ability to do that right now" Anna said as she tidied up Nicko's forehead.

"Yes the Bund. I don't want to celebrate my birthday without my brother either" Nicko said.

Nicko's words moved Anna. His little heart was happy because his youngest child grew up to be a good and understanding child. Even when his age was still demanding this and that, Nicko almost never did. Especially since Nathan doesn't live with them anymore.

"How about we go out to buy a new toy. Think of it as Nicko's birthday gift from Mommy" Anna said.

"What is Bund ?" ask Nicko.

"Yes" said Anna quickly to make Nicko cheer.

Then Anna and Nicko came out of the house hugging. On the porch of the house they cross paths with Jonah who has just arrived.

"I went first with Nicko to the mini market ahead for a while Nus," said Anna.

"Yes Ma'am" said Jonah with a smile.

After Anna and Nicko passed, Jonah closed the gate and sat on the porch as usual. Yunus smiled as he looked at the glass of coffee and the plate of fried cassava on the table. Jonah knew who was providing it for him.

"Thank you, Ma'am Yumi !" yunus said loudly.

"Yes, you're both !" yumi Sahut from inside the house.

Jonah smiled then grabbed the glass filled with coffee and sipped it slowly.

Anna and Nicko return home ahead of Isya. Nicko seems happy because he just bought a new toy. Not only that, even the mother also obeyed all her desire to play in the park for a while.

But Nicko's laughter stopped when he saw the house in complete darkness. He looked at the mother who was also frowning at that time.

"Darker dark Bund ?" ask Nicko.

"Yes, why yes. Don't-don't Bi Yumi forget to turn on the lights. But no way, Bi Yumi was afraid of the dark. This is also a fence why it's not locked. Where is Mas Yunus, really careless anyway," said Anna as she pushed the gate slowly.

Seeing the dark situation, Anna was starting to worry. He grabs his cell phone and tries to contact Bayan, Jonah and Yumi. But unfortunately Anna's efforts did not produce results. None of them responded to his call.

While being confused, suddenly there was a trumpet sound that echoed from the edge of the page. Apparently Bayan and his friends were also Jonah and Yumi who did it and obviously it made Anna and Nicko surprised not dumbass. Even Nicko jumped in shock to hug his mother so surprised.

Laughter echoed to see Nicko's reaction. And when the lights of the house were on, there were faces full of laughter there. Nicko and Anna laughed. But the two screamed when they saw Nathan among them while carrying a tart with a candle in the shape of a burning number ten.

The three are seen hugging each other after Nathan handed the cake he brought to Mona.

And the night passed with happy laughter. Nathan's return which coincides with his birthday makes Nicko unceasingly grateful in his heart. He's happy. So happy Nicko was crying silently. He immediately rubbed his wet eyes when he realized Alika was looking at him in confusion.

Bayan and his family's life has returned to normal since Nathan returned to their midst. And now they were preoccupied with preparing for the marriage of Yumi and Jonah. It turns out that the closeness of the two for almost eight years has grown the seeds of love between them.

At first Bayan was in disbelief when Jonah asked him to wave a woman to him. Jonah reasoned that he had no older brother and his father had long died. The only person he considered worthy to represent his family was Bayan.

"Ok, I'm ready. When do we go to your girlfriend's house ?" ask Bayan.

"God willing, sir" said Jonah.

"Unfortunately Yumi can't come. If you say early he can definitely take time before going home to his parents Nus," Bayan said.

"Ehm, sorry sir. We're going to go to Yumi's house. Because what I want to propose is Ms. Yumi Sir," said Yunus shyly.

Jonah deliberately told from the beginning because he did not want to make Bayan and Anna surprised later. Jonah's confession still made Bayan and Anna surprised.

"You're serious Nus ?!" ask Bayan.

"Yes sir" said Jonah steadily.

"Since when you were close. How do I not know ?" anna asked confusedly.

"We're not dating rich ABG Bu's son. We just chat if there is free time about the vision and mission for our future. I feel good and don't want to go back. So after Ms. Yumi was willing to be My Wife, I started to prepare everything" Jonah said.

"Mmm .. but you already know that Yumi was married. And her age is also older than yours," Anna said carefully.

"I know Mom. And I have no problem with that. What I see is Mbak Yumi who now is not the old one. I'm sure Mbak Yumi will be a good wife and mother later" said Yunus with a smile.

Anna also seemed to sigh in relief at Jonah's reply.

"But after marriage Yumi can still work here right Nus ?" ask Anna.

"Oh sure Ma'am. Only I will invite Mbak Yumi to stay at my house later" said Yunus.

"Ok, about where to stay we can talk about later. Now are you ready to prepare the items that you must bring for tomorrow Nus application. Don't be shy I'm ya !" joking Bayan while glaring.

"Ready Sir. Everything is ready. My mother who is usually sick is now also looking healthy. She said, I can't wait to see I'm married" said Jonah to make Bayan and Anna laugh amusedly.

And on the appointed day Bayan and his family were in Jonah's house. Apparently, this time the proposal will be continued with the wedding.

"Mbak Yumi asked Sir. I just follow what he wants. Now or later, it's the same" Jonah said as Bayan asked what had happened.

Bayan and Anna could only stare at each other in amazement. But both of them understood why Yumi did that. Maybe something has happened and Yumi wants to end it immediately by marrying Jonah.
