Today is Sky's twenty-one year anniversary.
Sky walks languidly on the sidewalk to get to the park. Occasionally he kicked a small pebble that blocked his path.
Nothing special on her birthday. Not celebrating with family, not celebrating with her husband.
This year, it's a different year than before. Sky thought his birthday would be impressive with Javier. But in fact, the problem came into their marriage which made the two no longer talk much.
Ah, not Javier who doesn't talk much, but himself who keeps away.
His phone vibrated, he took the phone from the bag and opened a message from Liana.
*Happy birthday my most beautiful friend. May you not be prettier than me hehehe. I can't celebrate your birthday now because I have to go with my mom. I'm sorry, Sky. But I've sent you a gift. I sent a clown to accompany you all day.
......beautiful greetings from your best friend ... Arianna* ......
Sky breathed. Look, there's nothing special right now. Liana who always celebrated her birthday every year with her also could not for this year.
Sky snorted, now he kicked the pebbles hard and walked over to the long chair in the park.
Shortly after a brown bear clown approached him, the clown slipped and closed Sky's eyes from behind.
"Hey who are you!!" Sky kept trying to let go of the clown's hand until finally when he managed Sky to flip.
"You ... Liana's clown gift?"
The clown nodded while shaking his body. And that made Sky laugh for a moment.
"What's your name?" ask Sky.
The clown shook his head still moving his body to the right and to the left, ah funny thing.
"So you don't have a name?" said Sky.
The clown returned.
Sky nodded with a smile. "OK .. I'll give you a name ... Teddy, how?"
Teddy nodded excitedly. Sky smiled happily, then approached the clown with a hug.
"Thank you .. for accompanying my birthday. I think I'm celebrating alone" said Sky.
Teddy initially flinched with a hug from Sky due to the shock this girl suddenly hugged him. Until finally slowly he returned Sky's embrace while rubbing his head.
"Come on .. I want a story." Sky pulled Teddy's hand to sit on the long chair.
"Would you like to hear my story?"
Teddy nodded.
"You know my name?" ask Sky.
Teddy nodded then his hand pointed upwards with the meaning he knew that the girl in front of him was named Sky which means sky.
"You know what, the sky wouldn't be beautiful without stars. But stars are always with the moon ..." Sky paused his speech, he let out a heavy sigh.
"But now the star and the moon are hostile ..." She spoke in a weak tone, as if sick and also longed for the moon who was none other than her own husband.
"I miss the moon ..."
Teddy was still listening.
"You know .. I'm like a cloudy sky now."
Teddy took something out of the pocket of his clown costume. And give it to Sky.
Sky opened the white paper that Teddy gave him.
I want to see you become clear skies again.
Sky smiled reading the writing from Teddy.
"When did you write this? did Liana tell you I was sad?"
Teddy quickly nodded.
Sky smiled. "Thank you ... Liana is my best friend."
And Sky hugged Teddy. Teddy patted Sky on the back until he finally pushed Sky's body to give a gift.
Teddy took a necklace out of the pocket of his clown costume. The crescent moon necklace he gave to Sky.
Sky blurted his eyes happy.
"Hey, this is beautiful. Is this from Liana?"
Teddy nodded.
Sky took the star necklace from his pocket. He looked at the two necklaces with a smile.
Teddy immediately took the two necklaces and attached them. The crescent moon necklace and the star necklace were stuck together because there was a magnet from both of them.
Sky widened his eyes, the girl grew happier and ended up hugging Teddy again.
"It's so good .. I like it, thank you."
The girl had no idea that the person behind the clown costume was her own husband, Javier.
Javier can't possibly forget his wife's birthday. This morning he came to Cafe X to meet Liana and help her meet with Sky despite having to wear a clown costume.
It's okay, at least with this he can feel again hugging his beloved wife. At least he also knows that this problem comes not only makes Javier sad but Sky as well.
He thought Sky hated him so much, in fact the girl missed him too. And the longing sentence from Sky makes Javier more eager to look for Hanna.
