I don't feel like time is passing quickly. A year ago Raka was born in this world. Today is Raka's first birthday. For the past year, Raka's life was very happy. He was surrounded by people who loved him. Gavin and Bu Ratih always provide all the needs of Raka.
During this time Mrs Ratih took care of Raka assisted with Babysitter. Not that he can not take care of himself, but because it is his work that is not possible to take care of Raka himself. But, her babysitter only worked from Monday to Friday, from seven in the morning to four in the afternoon. After that Mrs Ratih takes care of Raka herself.
Anyway as much as possible, Mr. Ratih took his time to take care of Raka. For a year after leaving Kasih, Raka was used to Mama Ratih. Since moving, Kasih has only met Raka three times in Jakarta. While Gavin almost every month to visit the residence of Kasih.
Today his plan Kasih also comes on the day of Raka's birthday. Madam Ratih and Gavin have prepared all the needs of Raka. From the cake, decorations, uniforms and MCs are ready. Gavin did deliberately make this event as lively as possible for the sake of his only child.
The hour hand was showing at eight in the morning. The show started at ten in the morning. Everything is ready and the family is together. Waiting for neighbors and orphans. Gavin invites several orphans from his sister-in-law's foundation to pray for Raka.
When all gathered in the guest room which is now transformed into a playground, suddenly there is a taxi into the courtyard of Mr. Indra's house. Madam Ratih and Gavin looked at each other, is this Love. Inner Gavin.
Shortly after, someone got out of the taxi. She's a woman dressed in a dusty pink dress shar'i color complete with her cigar hijab. She looks so cute and beautiful. He stepped in the house.
"Assalamuailaikum., "he cried from the outside.
"Wa'alaikumsalam.," replied Gavin and Bu Ratih together.
"How are you doing Ratih" he said.
"Love,! Yes aampuun.?" exclaim Bu Ratih while hugging the body of Love.
They also hugged each other. Madam Train her eyes glazed and so did Love, she cried while hugging Madam Ratih. Gavin who saw his two wives cuddling just smiled knot.
Love then greets all the members of the extended family. There's Mr. Indra and the wife. Mahen and Kinan, as well as the family from Bu Ratih were all saluted.
"Love, you're here, right?" ask Mrs Ratih.
"Yes, Mother. But tomorrow, go straight back." replied Kasih.
Gavin then came out holding Raka. He wears jeans with a t-shirt wrapped in a knit vest. Raka looks handsome and funny. The love that saw her child grow into a cute and handsome child immediately approached her and carried her.
But, Raka immediately cried when Kasih tried to hold her. She did not want to look at Love, just hugged her Papa while crying. Love her eyes glazed over because her child does not want to be carried by her.
Madam Ratih tried to calm Raka who was now crying in Gavin's arms. He took over Raka from Gavin's hands.
"Raka, baby. Cup..the cup..! mom's son can't cry, yeah. That Ibu Kasih just want to carry Raka, Son" said Mrs Ratih while holding Raka.
Instantly Raka fell silent, she looked at Kasih while still being as excited. Love smiled closer towards Raka. Soon after, Kasih tried to bring her hand closer to grab Raka's body. It turned out that he was silent as Kasih grabbed his body to carry.
Now Raka is in the arms of Kasih. Everyone present was so moved to see the sight before them. Now Raka was still silent.
Soon he cried again, finally given again the same Miss Ratih. Raka instantly fell silent. Maybe he's used to Mrs. Then Gavin tried to pull Love's hand away from them. Madam Ratih was busy calming Raka down by inviting her to play.
"What's up, Mom. You're taking me here?" tanya Kasih's.
"You must be very sad when Raka cries when you are carrying" said Gavin.
"Yes, Mas. But I understand all of this very well. From the small Mbak Ratih who takes care of him. He is used to Mbak Ratih." replied Kasih.
"Aren't you jealous of Ratih because Raka is more comfortable with her?" gavin asked, holding his wife's shoulder.
"No, Mas. I understand." replied Kasih.
"Oh yes, Mas. I have a gift for Raka. I told Aunt to take her to her room" said Kasih.
"Love, don't you want to go back to Jakarta?" ask Gavin suddenly.
"Why are you asking like that, Mom. I can't." replied Love.
"It's okay, sih. I just want you to also be close to Raka." said Gavin.
"Already Mas. Don't talk about it anymore. Don't make me wobbly again. Because I've been steady to live there." said Kasihut.
"Yes, if that's what you want" said Gavin.
After that came the invitations attended by neighbors and orphans. Gavin finally invited Kasih to join them.
They end up becoming one with all their families and all the others. It doesn't feel like the pickle is about to start. The MCs Gavin hired to host the event have also arrived.
Shortly after, the show finally began. The MCs hosted all the events from start to finish. Now comes the candle blow and cut the cake. Raka is accompanied by Bu Ratih and Gavin to blow the candles. Finally the candle went out and now it's time to cut the cake.
After that Mrs Ratih muter distributed the cake to the invited guests, and all the families there. The love that got the first piece of cake from Raka had shed tears.
Until finally it was time to eat. Everyone present is welcome to enjoy the prepared dishes.
It did not feel like Raka's birthday party was finally finished as well. All the invitees have gone home, now only a large family. Raka exhausted until overslept carried by Bu Ratih. After that Gavin moved Raka into his room followed by Bu Ratih.
The hour hand was showing at one o'clock in the afternoon. Now all the families are told Gavin to rest in the room. In the guest room that is still with the nuances of super hero now only live Kasih and Bibi who cleaned the former birthday party.
"Mbak Kasih just rest in the room. Let Auntie do this." said Auntie.
"It's okay, Bi. Love misses it all. Kangen cook with Aunt in the kitchen." replied Kasih.
Soon enough, Gavin comes out and tells Kasih to stop all that.
"Sih, don't continue. Let Auntie do it."
"It's okay, Mom. I'm used to it." replied Love.
"Leave it. You're coming with me!" exclaim Gavin while holding the hand of Love.
Love is still confused, Gavin will take him where. They then headed to the room of Love which was now empty again uninhabited. Love is so awkward why her husband took her to this room.
Upon arriving at the door of the room, Gavin stopped his steps and opened the door.
"What are you doing, Mas?" tanya Kasih's.
"Let's go in, you now rest first. Your trip must have made your body tired. Already, rest there!" exclaimed Gavin as he stepped leaving Kasih in the room.
"Thank God, Mom. I thought you would do more to me. I am now beginning to try not to get too close to you." said Love in my heart.
