Raihan picked up Lucas at his house. Tomorrow is Auristella's birthday. And when Lucas says he's ready to move and will be home soon, Devan picks up Dad from his wife.
"YEAYYY GRANDPA IS COMING,"
Adrian welcomes Daddy and his grandfather very happy. He hugged Lucas who would become his friend from this point on. He was like living in a mansion, not feeling lonely anymore because there was his grandfather who would be his playmate.
"Thank you Grandpa for staying here,"
"It should be Grandpa who says 'thank you' because you guys already allowed Grandpa to stay here,"
Auristella who was being carried by Senata asked to be embraced also by his grandfather. Although they rarely meet but Auristella's closeness with Lucas is the same as her closeness with Raihan.
Lucas smiled at Senata. "Thank you for accepting me," Senata nodded with a happy feeling. He and Lucas are back together. It was all because of their grandchildren as well.
Lucas immediately carried Auristella. Then approach Lovi. She was surprised as Lovi hugged her.
"Welcome home, Dad."
"Thank you, Lovi. Thank you for forgiving me and allowing me to stay here with your little family and feel the warmth in it, too,"
**********
Auristella's birthday party was very lively. Auristella's hand is aided by Lovi to cut off her looming birthday cake.
Auristella can't wait to taste her cake. When Lovi was cutting, he was already whining. The people there laughed at the behavior of the youngest child who failed to become that big brother.
The decorations are no less interesting than the ones at home. It's a very fancy birthday. No wonder, Because every child's birthday, Devan and Lovi always give their best because the moment of increasing age occurs once in a year so that the birthday must be made as happy as possible.
Many gifts are abundant Auristella today even since a few days before her. Understandably, the subsidiary of the Vidyatmaka corp company is a princess not in the eyes of her family but in the eyes of the people as well. So they are very excited to welcome Auristella's birthday. And Devan as Daddy Auristella gave his speech before the event began, Devan several times said 'thank you' are infinite because the people around him so love Auristella.
Just like Devan can gather with his cousins, Auristella too.
He jokes with Kayla and Sandra while their older brother is busy playing together. Kenith, Genta, Adrian, and Andrean if they have met must be busy playing even Adrian brought some small toys so they can play together.
"Auris fast big huh. Let's add more troops,"
Auristella nodded as she framed Kayla's face. He pinched Kayla's cheek with anxiety.
Kayla and Sandra are jealous of Andrean's army. They are more members. If only his other cousins lived not far away so they could often meet every event like this.

"Mommy, when can we see Grizelle?"
"Grizelle is still being treated. Want to see Aunty at the apartment? Aunty's home, by the way,"
"don't want. I want to see Grizelle,"
"Can't yet,"
"Lov, Vanilla's in the hospital. Try Vanilla's phone. He must be with his son. They can both see Grizelle,"
"Haaaaa, I want to see it firsthand,"
"Can't, Adrian. There are rules."
Lovi immediately contacted her sister-in-law with a video call. Perhaps it was answered and his two children could see Grizelle's face.
Answered but Jhico's face is visible.
"Co, where's Vanilla?"
"It's Vanilla,"
Grizelle was being given milk by a nurse through a bottle. Vanilla and Jhico watched. An hour after birth Vanilla milk was also milked as now because Grizelle could not suckle directly on Vanilla even though Vanilla was fine.
"Woahh Grizelle drinking milk. It was very passionate of him," Adrian was so enthusiastic to see his cousin who was so excited to enjoy his mother's milk. Jhico immediately uses mute mode on his phone when he knows Adrian will talk. Jhico knew his nephew would be excited and could disturb the calm in a special room for babies to receive treatment in an incubator.
Vanilla and Jhico could not be long because the time of visit is limited. After they were satisfied with their homesickness and made sure Grizelle was okay, they went home and the video call was still active.
Until the car, Jhico no longer uses mute mode and Adrian's voice is still enthusiastic.
"I'm getting impatient. Uncle hear me? why am I talking, Uncle and Aunty are quiet,"
"In mute, let your voice not interfere. Not anymore,"
Devan and Lovi laugh next to their second child. Adrian talking since then only the motion of his mouth is visible while his voice is deliberately muted by Jhico and Vanilla.
"So what did you say?"
"Already, ah. I am lazy to repeat it. My throat hurts from talking too tight. I'm excited to see baby sister so---"
"Sorry, dear." said Vanilla, looking at her nephew in regret.
"But you can see Grizelle, right?"
"It was, and I was quite satisfied to see it. Grizelle is so pretty,"
"Thank you" Vanilla replied with a smile.
"The beautiful Grizelle, not Aunty. Why did Aunty say 'thank you' ?"
"Errghhh this kid can't see his Aunty happy a little,"
"Heheheh yes, Aunty is also beautiful."
"I have a nickname for Grizelle. Let's not be hard,"
"What is the name Grizelle so hard to pronounce?"
While his wife talks to Adrian, Jhico drives forward. Jhico, Devan, Lovi, Andrean and Auristella are loyal listeners of Adrian and Vanilla.
"It's not hard, but let's make it easier."
"I call Griz can't I?" connect Adrian.
"Can you not, Uncle? Adrian asked,"
Vanilla asked her husband's opinion. Jhico turned his head for a moment then nodded.
"Maybe,"
"Auristella is called Auris. Grizelle calls her Griz,"
Auristella and Andrean watched Adrian talk. If Auristella had been good at talking maybe she would have been more chatty than Adrian. Because now he seemed to mumble himself until Lovi was made to be anxious.
"Yes, I'm tired of talking. I'm closing, Aunty."
"Okay, Honey. Thank you for calling Grizelle,"
"From now on we all call him Griz, yeah."
"Why did you manage?"
"HAHAHAHAH," Vanilla's laughter echoes Devan's speech. Adrian glared at his Daddy who spoke like that.
"It is allowed Uncle. Why indeed? I'm Ms. Griz's sister so I can make a suggestion,"
"Yes yes, it's up to you" said Devan.
"Bye, Aunty, Uncle. Careful of his return. Congratulations to the apartment, yes,"
"Bye, honey."
After the call closed, Adrian looked at his brother and sister. "You guys are silent
just earlier? don't talk to Aunty,"
"How to talk if you're busy yourself. There is no end to you talking. I hear it tired" said Andrean.
Auristella laughed as she closed her mouth. He seemed to know what his elder brother was talking about.
