"Woaah Auris hasn't just had many birthdays already,"
After coming home from baby school, it was time for Auristella to open the gifts of all her siblings last night. It turned out that they all gave gifts because when Auristella was sick she had not had time to visit. It was an apology to Auristella.
"Auris happy?"
The youngest child nodded with his smile. He was helped by Lovi and his two grandmothers to open all the gifts.
"More toys. But there's also clothes,"
His sister is busy opening gifts, his two brothers have just been driven home by Devan. Devan let out his horn sound before leaving Andrean and Adrian for the office again.
Adrian ran into the mansion with a bag draped on his back. Absolutely adorable. While Andrean with a calm step, as usual.
"Auris open the gift not in front of me should. I want to be given a gift too,"
Lovi raised his eyebrows confused. Come directly to protest. Auristella did nothing. The matter of opening a gift should have a special place.
"Where should his sister open the gift? the bathroom?"
"Great idea!"
Lovi. Auristella was still busy with all the new items that belonged to her. No matter the second brother poked because he wanted to also be given a gift.
"Change uniform. If you want, there's still a gift that hasn't been opened, you can help Auris open it,"
To be fair and have no more jealousy in Adrian's heart, Lovi offers the choice he thinks is safest. Looks like Auristella didn't mind whoever touched her card either. It was proven that he wanted to be helped by both his grandmother and Lovi. Unlike Adrian used to be every given gift must forbid others to open it. Only He can.
"Auris got it because she just got sick. There is no need to be jealous. If you have a birthday, you will get a gift, even more."
Adrian turned his face unwilling to listen to his brother's advice. He then ran into the room to change his clothes.
"Mom, careful. If the two ignorant dwarves were close, there would be a commotion." Andrean gave a funny-sounding warning in his Mommy ears. But there's a point, too.

Devan is the arrival of his best friend who seems to have not met him for a long time. Deni came with Keynie. They just got out of the hospital after Keynie had a routine checkup after a curettage two weeks ago. Keynie is revealed to be pregnant but unfortunately, her fetus must leave before it is successfully born into the world due to the negligence of her mother. Keynie fell in the bathroom.
"But your condition is better? don't think too much, Key. There's still plenty of time to have children" Devan said.
Upon hearing the news, Devan was also sad. Devan was really surprised. He also prayed that the couple would be re-given by the little angel.
Apparently Deni came here because he needed his support. Devan could see the tremendous sadness from Deni's look. His friend looked so lost.
"You weren't next to Key when it happened?" ask Devan.
"No, I'm working. He fell while alone at home,"
"Gosh, I can't imagine what the pain would be like. You've learned a lesson like this, change, Deni. Don't give up work anymore,"
"Ck! before talking, try to look at the mirror first." Deni's lips that do not accept when considered to prioritize work. Actually it's like that's the reality. But it's hard to admit.
"It will not change if there is no self-consciousness. I also put the but---" job first"
"You forgot, Lovi had a miscarriage before she conceived Auris?" asked Deni in a cynical tone. His mood is bad, he does not need to be advised because since the incident he has swallowed a lot of advice, especially from his parents. All he needs is the support of Devan until he can finally laugh again, not moody like this.
Devan patted his forehead, then chuckled. Now he must melt the atmosphere, can not fish Deni.
"The loss that I experienced was due to the stupidity that I did. I spoke like that so you wouldn't be a fool again for the second time. In essence, don't be like me."
Deni knows the good intentions of his best friend. Devan did not expect Deni to do what he had done before. More concerned with work, to forget the obligation to keep a pregnant wife.
Devan patted Deni's lowered shoulder. Keynie's back from the toilet. "How about lunch together?"
"It's not noon anymore. But it's afternoon. Why haven't you eaten yet? It's gonna hurt, and what about Lovi and your kids? asking me not to be stupid, myself even more stupid,"
*******
Auris is very happy to wear dress-dress like a princess. When he got it from one of his cousins, Auristella cheered happily. He immediately wanted to wear it. Auristella is like that when she has a new item that she likes.
"Wear Cinderella's shirt, until anytime will not be Cinderella. What's it for, Auris?" Adrian mocked his sister who was being helped by Lovi to just finish wearing a long dress in light blue.
"Just be wild. Your mouth has no need to comment. Auris wears her own shirt, not yours,"
Adrian bent his face. Then drown yourself in bed. Look at Auristella who has appeared more beautiful.
"It's so pretty my grandson. It'll be a prima donna later,"
Auristella put her palms together and lowered her head, She knew the attitude of the body when saying the word 'thank you'. Rena and Senata squealed anxiously at Auristella's behavior.
Adrian shook his head slowly at his boisterous grandmother. Adrian glanced at the brother who was lying down while reading Auristella's fairy tale book.
Andrean seemed uninterested in the situation around him. He stayed focused on the fairy tale. Reading is one of the most preferred activities by Andrean besides sports and watching. Read for yourself and for others. Andrean often recites fairy tales to his sister before taking a nap. At night, Devan and Lovi's business.
"How to avoid getting tired of reading how?" Adrian was curious about the way his older brother could endure reading books for hours. Until sometimes Lovi told him to rest for a while. Lovi was worried about his over-diligent son. In school, there is a lot of learning and then at home it is like that if not playing.
"I don't have a special way. Depends on each person. But if I, just enjoy what I read."
********
"Greetings to my three nephews? I can't come there yet,"
"Yes, they didn't expect you to come either."
"Pay the food first,"
"Ck! what use is there to be a big Boss here? pay up!"
Deni leaves Devan who sneers. Sad but eating a lot goes well. Huh! The big belly will never lose its habit.
After filling his stomach and successfully making his best friend forget a little sadness, Devan returns to his office.
"Hallo, Ferro?"
"There's one file that hasn't been signed by sir. Forgotten or how?"
"Oh yeah? maybe I didn't see it. I'll be there in a minute,"

Adrian and Andrean are swimming. For a long time they did not do sports in the water.
Adrian and his brother swim nimbly while Auristella just stands on the edge with Lovi. Auristella was very happy when she felt the cold of the water, even jumping up and down.
"You guys, Mommy and Auris are judges. How's it?"
"Okay, I'm ready!" adrian's voice sounded excited.
"me too. Count, Mom."
Lovi looked at Auristella, "We count, Auris. Let's see who has the best fun.
"One..."
Adrian and Andrean put back on the swim goggles they had put on their heads.
"Two..."
Not yet started, Auristella is boisterous. He squealed as if he was anxious with Lovi who had not yet finished his count.
"Come on, help Mommy to count."
Auristella shook her head, unable to help Lovi because she was not yet able to count. He can only be a judge who watches without counting.
"Three!"
Adrian and Andrean went straight into the water and started drowning, trying to reach the end of the pool.
Auristella looked tense. Watching his two brothers who were competing, both fought to be winners.
Lovi exclaimed loudly, "WOAAHH GO GO GO!" He raised Auristella's hand so that her daughter would also encourage him not to just put on a tense look like this.
"The spirit of my brothers!" lovi said as if to be Auristella. "Who's Auris supporting?"
Auristella looked at Lovi and her two sisters who were still in the water.
"Ad," she replied. I don't know since when Auristella had her own call for Adrian.
Clearly, Lovi only realized it last night.
As he asked Auristella, "Who's spending Mommy's warm tea, Auris?"
Only Auristella and Adrian were watching television while lying near Auristella. There was no way that the youngest child was the one who made Lovi's cup empty.
Auristella pointed at Adrian after her Mommy asked like that.
"Ad" said Auristella.
"I WON!"
Andrean exclaimed loudly after coming out of the pool. Andrean rubbed his face while raising his hands high.
A few seconds later, Adrian's head came up from the water. His breathing was stingy and He seemed ordinary when he was defeated.
"Once in a while lose,"
"uh? have I lost so often?
"Yes, I've always been a winner. But now that I'm relented," In order not to be too embarrassed about losing, Adrian used a thousand and one excuses.
Lovi called his two sons to come closer. Lovi will call out the name of the winner. "Andrean is the winner," Lovi raised Auristella's body high until she giggled.
"Ad lost, Auris. Damn him,"
Auristella shook her head and placed her index finger on Lovi's lips. Lovi can't say that brother lost because he wasn't great.
"Adrian see Auris. He supports you but you still like to be ignorant" said Lovi to Adrian open his eyes wide. Auristella supported Adrian in this simple race even though they were rarely familiar.
"Other times just be my support, Auris. The one who has been defending you is me" Andrean said, glancing his eyes at his brother.
"Can't! Auris has been inaugurated as my supporter every time there's a race whatever it is,"
