Nando's Birthday

Of the 150 applicants to become Teachers, only 60 are competent and accepted at Lika's new school, Mercy School.

The building, teachers and staff are ready in this new school year, staying for the opening promo of the new school year and the unfilled students. Pak Andi aggressively made promos through banners and social media.

In a short time, through advertisements and promotions, many prospective students have signed up, today is training for prospective teachers and principals. Lika herself led the training event.

Lika stood on the podium in the hall of her new school. In his heart he was moved, not expecting to stand in his own school as the supreme leader.

"Good morning to the prospective teachers and principals.here we will be together one heart and vision to build the intelligent human hope of the nation...that we teachers participate in breaking down the ignorance and economy of our nation through education...." Lika started her speech. Boisterous applause filled the entire large room.

"And on this day, I will introduce the cabinet arrangement for this new school year.we both learn to support each other, no senior or junior....we both study and work with the heart here...."

"For the prospective principal of the Kindergarten.we entrust Mother Maura who holds it, while the prospective principal of the Elementary School, we entrust this task to be carried by Mr. Wahyu....Please for Mother Maura and Father of Revelation to come forward...."

Thus Lika spoke for prospective teachers and staff for almost an hour. After completion, they form a work team to create the curriculum and meetings of each division.

Lika walked down the stairs to her personal room, she felt she had to breastfeed Given who is now being cared for by Ricky, her father in Lika's private room.

"Mom Lika...." The sound of the call made Lika stop her steps and look back.

"Oh...Miss Bella...What's the matter Miss?" Ask Lika. Miss Bella is also a teacher candidate who was accepted at Lika's school.

"For the headmaster of Elementary School, why does Miss Lika trust Pak Wahyu more than I do? Am I not the more competent in this? Pak Wahyu is even just a local graduate at an unknown university..." Bella Protests.

"Miss Bella..." Answer Lika.

"But isn't this school international? It should be the graduates from outside who are more considered..Was Bu Lika holding a personal grudge against me??" Bella asked with probing eyes.

"O Lord, Miss Bella...I've even forgotten the past...Are we not okay?"

"Hmm.so yeah...all right..I just follow your game...." Bella immediately passed without saying anything else, Lika just shook her head, then she entered her room.

Ricky seems to be asleep on the couch, while Given is engrossed in playing himself in a large baby box.

"Oh my goodness.this is to take care of the child like a goat..." Mumbled Lika. Then she shook her husband's body.

Ricky was shocked to see Lika already standing before him.

"Eh..have the show finished?" Ricky asked as he rubbed his eyes.

"Once more! You let Given play alone while Papa sleeps.gimana anyway.tau so let mbok Narti alone guard him..." Cetus Lica.

"Sorry dear...sleepy once before.but Given anteng would not cry...?" Ricky asked with a sorry face.

"Yes.once kidnapped no one knows!!" Ketus Lika's.

"I'm sorry.promise not to fall asleep again..." Ricky pointed both fingers.

"Yes already.now we go home yuk.I want to stop by the bike shop...Nando wants to change his new bike.Nando's birthday tomorrow..." Said Lika who immediately lifted Given from her box and cleaned her bag.

*************

Lika buys Nando a bike larger than Nando's old bike, after buying it, Lika hides in her home warehouse, because tomorrow Lika will give a surprise. They all plan to surprise Nando tomorrow on his birthday.

Today is Saturday, coinciding with Nando's birthday, school holidays and all holidays, the whole house pretends to forget Nando's birthday, since Nando wakes up looking moody.

"Mom..Today I didn't forget anything, did I?" Ask Nando. Lika pretended to think, then shook her head. Nando's face was disappointed. Then he approached his father.

"Pa...today what day is it?" Nando asked, as if reminding something.

"Today is Saturday.Why? Better you take a shower first.sana take a bath.wear neat clothes.let add tile .." Answer Ricky. Again, Nando was grim, finally he went into the bathroom and immediately took a shower.

After Nando finished bathing and wearing clothes, Nando was surprised because the house looked quiet, he walked back and forth, but did not find anyone, until finally..

"Nando's Happy Birthday...!!!" Ricky, Lika, Kezia, Lia and Grandma appeared from the direction of Grandma's room. They brought a big birthday cake with number 9 candles. Nando was surprised but finally smiled happily.

"It's a gift from mom and grandpa Given.happy birthday dear..." Lika took out a bicycle from inside the warehouse. Then Lika kissed the boy.

"Wah New bike...Thanks Mom!" Nando is happy.

Then Grandma and the others congratulated, hugged and kissed Nando, today Nando got many gifts.

"Let's go..ayo..now we cut the cake yuk..." Said Ricky. Then they all sang and Nando cut the cake with a beaming face.

"It's a cake for Mom and Dad..." Nando said as he fed the cake to Lika and Ricky.

The Ting..tong...Ting.tong...

The sound of the bell of the house shocked those who were in an atmosphere of excitement.

"Mbok Narti..please see who's coming...!" Ricky. With a swift Mbok Narti walked forward and opened the door.

"This is a package for Nando...." Said a courier. Lika approached the courier.

"Where is Mas from?" Ask Lika.

"There's no sender..." Murmured the courier.

"Yes already.I accept the briefing..." Sahut Lika while carrying the parcel inside.

A large gift box is in Lika's hands, actually she was rather traumatized to receive the box, she used to get a similar parcel that contained the corpse of a cat, because of fear, she had, Lika did not.wrap the parcel to Nando, even though the gift was intended for Nando.

Lika still asked in her heart, who sent the gift? Why did the sender know that today was Nando's birthday?
