For the first time in his life, Ghani celebrated his 33rd birthday with his beloved wife and son. Not only that, the small birthday party was attended by Leon and also Lulu, a friend of the wife.
"Bro, I said happy birthday. All the best for you. What you hope to achieve this year." Leon hugged Ghani's body tightly. Patting Ghani's back slowly while offering the best do'a for his best friend.
"Thank you very much, Yon." Ghani replied to Leon's applause. She smiled sincerely and her eyes almost glazed over. However, soon he halau so as not to wet the cheek. What would happen if everyone found out that she was crying at this happy moment.
As the embrace unraveled, Lulu took a step forward and said, "Doctor Ghani, this is a gift from both of us. I'm sorry if the thing in here doesn't go your way. Leon and I are confused about what gift to give because you already have everything."
Ghani received the gift. "No matter the content of this gift, it is most important that you two have good intentions and I really appreciate it. Thank you." Thank you."
Queensha who just finished helping make Anah arrange food, drinks and snacks for everyone approached her husband, Leon, and also the best friend. "It just so happens that you guys have come over for dinner together. Especially tonight, I ask Bik Anah to make a lot of food so you can eat as much."
The Aurora standing not far from the papa jumped in excitement. Her hair that was braided in two with bangs covering her forehead moved along. A loud cry raced to all corners of the room.
"Hore, Rora can eat boiled dumplings to the fullest." Both of the girls' hands were raised into the air. Aurora looks so happy because tonight is free to eat one of her favorite foods besides fried thighs.
The same thing was shown by Leon. Ghani's true friend shows the same happy expression as Aurora. "My brother-in-law this one is the best. Xie xie sao zi."
Ghani. "Curtain, you little sycophant."
Lulu and Queensha just shook their heads while smiling at the behavior of the two handsome men in front of them.

"Oh my God, this salmon chimichurri sauce is delicious. Who made it?" asked Leon on the sidelines of his activities eating dishes in plain sight.
"This is me, why? Don't tell me you want to tell my baby to make the same food in large quantities. I take you from the position now if you dare to give orders to Queensha," replied Ghani cynically while sipping long life noodles made by his beloved wife.
Chang shou mian or better known as long life noodles can be compared as a symbol that symbolizes a long life expectancy for someone who is celebrating a birthday. It is usually served along with eggs and chicken broth.
"Yeah, sensi is a person. Watch out for high blood pressure from nagging too often." Leon put the food back in his mouth. "Gue nanya like this because this dish is very different from the food I have eaten before. Seasoning and taste right, not excessive. It fits perfectly on my tongue."
Lulu nodded her sign in agreement. "Great thistles. Although I've never tried it, Queensha's cooking this time is really delicious."
"You're over-praising me. I was just following step by step from the video I watched on Youtube," Queensha replied humbly. Despite receiving praise, he still bowed his face down because above the sky there is still the sky.
Dinner is over. Ghani and Leon sit on the balcony of the apartment talking about work and other things that can be discussed with their best friend, while Queensha and Lulu accompany Aurora to watch a favorite cartoon.
"Lu, I noticed you and Mas Leon are getting closer. Are you guys already together?"
The fingers that had originally entered the chiki pack stopped in mid-air. Queensha's question was successful and left her confused.
"Seriously? Has your relationship come this far? God, I didn't expect your progress to be so fast. It's only been a few months since I got to know her. Then soon you will be married, following me and Mas Ghani. Well, I can't wait for that moment to come." A pair of Queensha eyes sparkling when imagining his best friend wearing a white wedding dress like it used to be, it would be very fun to be a bridesmaid.
Lulu put the remaining chiki pack half on the table then grabbed a clear glass of water and then gulped it down to the toilet. "Yes, but until now Leon has no sign of shooting me. I was so confused, actually he had a sense of nothing to me. Fear of attention and kindness all this time only at the insistence of Lo and Doctor Ghani, not from the bottom of his heart."
Queensha scrunched both eyebrows. "Well, why bring me and Mas Ghani. We did urge Mas Leon to get close to you, but that was it. Now Mas Ghani and I have never interfered in your private affairs again. I let Mas Leon do whatever he wants."
Queensha' words are true that she and her husband are no longer involved in the romance of the two human children. The last time Ghani got involved was when he heated up Leon for the man to act immediately before introducing Lulu to his brother. After that, Ghani let Leon act on his own because he knew that his best friend had eaten his words.
"You're serious, Sha? Means his form of concern all this time to me was purely of himself, without anyone's encouragement. That so?"
Queensha. "Based on what you said just now, I'm 100% sure that it turns out that Mas Leon is actually in love with you just maybe he was waiting for the right time to express his heart to you."
Queensha turned her body to face Lulu. "Lu, like Mas Leon shot, you want to accept him?"
Lulu's mouth was locked tightly. The tongue feels weak, unable to say. He himself is still confused how to explain to Leon about his past as they would later become. Could Leon be willing to accept him for who he is.
Meanwhile, in a different place a man about 27 years old was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. Both hands are on the back of the sofa.
"Where, did you get what I asked for yesterday?"
"Already, Boss. The woman no longer lives in her old index since she knew that Boss moved out of the country" said Andri's confidant.
Andri's lips are pulled upwards. He smiled as he heard the reply of his confidant. "If I come to his index, he no longer lives there it turns out he moved after I left this country. Pinter, too, he turned out. Then, you've got information about the fucking guy who swigged me?"
"The man was named Leon Radeyya Hamiz. He works as a surgeon at Harmoni International Hospital. I studied in Japan for almost 10 years. Second child of 2 brothers. His father is a lecturer, while his mother is only a housewife who has a five-door rented house in South Jakarta. His sister -"
Andri's hand was raised into the air. "Stop! I just need some information about that son of a bitch. I don't care about the rest of his family."
Andri's confidantes bowed. "Sorry, Boss."
"Hm. Because you have been hard-earned to find information about the two people, I will not make the same calculation lo. Consider it a wage for your hard work so far," said Andri relaxed. "Udah there, go! I no longer help your body. The rest I'll transfer as soon as possible."
After the departure of his confidants, Andri advanced his body forward until both feet in shoes were on the floor. The sturdy hand that once touched Lulu's wacky body grabbed the seloki glass on the table. Slowly sip the thick red liquid until it runs out unnoticed.
"You once escaped my hand, but now you're not. You'll be in my hands, and you won't be able to escape again. And for that fucking guy, I'm sure you'll get back for what was done to me." Smiling devil while thinking of a way to avenge him to Lulu and Leon. The two men deserve a reward for having offended him.
