Arkan turned off his car engine. He breathed tired. Today it was so tiring, he taught almost more than 5 classes. He can't wait to meet his wife and son. Just meeting them the fatigue is gone. Arkan got out of the car he had parked in the garage right next to his wife's car. He smiled, and he could not wait to see his family.
When Arkan knocked on the door, his forehead creased. No one opens. His hand held the doorknob. He was surprised to find the door unlocked. How careless his wife is. Though he had reminded to lock the door so that no burglar enters. Given now a lot of wandering.
Arkan stared around this house once deserted. Where did the people go? Arkan researched every corner of the house. He found nothing. Even the presence of his wife and son was absent.
"Cessa... Febri... Where are you guys?" Arkan cried while looking for his children.
Arkan's heart was pounding with no sign of life. He swallowed. He was afraid of his wife and son why. His heart rumbled looking for them. Is there a burrow in? considering that the door wasn't locked.
"Vessa..."
"Febri!!!"
Shouted Arkan but got none. Arkan's breath gasping. He almost ransacked the goods but the sound of singing stopped him. He stared in amazement at Febri and Cessa who had unmistakably worried him.
"Papa Arkan Happy Birthday..."
"Happy Birthday's.. Happy Birthdays... Happy Birthday to Arkan..."
Arkan's body fell down. He looked at the two people who were working on him. He didn't know today was his birthday. He didn't think it would work like this. There was a little bit of haru and annoyance. Moved because he was given a surprise on his birthday, but Upset because they almost drove him crazy for fear. He thought he was going to lose them now. Arkan sighed.
Febri approached Arkan to blow out the candles. He brought the cake in his hand.
"Let's go papa tipped a candle. make a wish too." exclaimed Cessa cheerfully. He kissed Arkan's right cheek while wishing him a happy birthday. Arkan was moved, let alone Febri looking at him lovingly.
Arkan then blew out the birthday cake candle. Then he said his make a wish in front of his son and wife.
"I hope my wife and children will be happy and by my side until we are reunited in heaven." Febri was moved to hear that. He hugged Arkan after putting the cake on the table. Followed by Cessa, they embrace each other. Although there was a little sense of loss in their hearts. There was no presence of Alwan. Alwan they're not here. If there were Alwan, they would be more complete. They will be the perfect and happy family they used to be.
"Let's cut the cake pa.." Cessa's whine who can't wait to eat the cake that teased her.
Arkan chuckles, he caresses Cessa's head dear. Then he held the child in front, and also took Febri's hand to return to the table to cut the cake. With agile Arkan did that. He was grateful that there were at least Cessa and Febri. If only there were none their lives would be even more bleak. Considering he almost lost them. Arkan smiled meaningfully.. And thank God...
