My House At the Edge of the Cliff

Chapter 34 The Neglected Prize

Like getting a durian crumbling, Pras' life is so perfect. The restaurant business he developed now has an equally successful branch, proudly telling Zahira about it.

Asking him to go home immediately to be able to enjoy all their hard work, hearing this good news, Zahira was certainly also impatient to go home.

Day after day he counted impatiently until finally there was one more year left to work there, the day Anisa's fourth birthday made him even more impatient.

On this birthday there is a different, Zahira gives sending gifts far and wide from abroad to his beloved daughter.

Pras was as usual so busy preparing the party, since morning he had rented a place to celebrate even though the party would be held later in the afternoon.

Various other preparations such as buying cakes and gifts have been carried out, now it is just a matter of time. Pras decided to finish his job first, just check the performance of his employees as usual.

The rest he spent with Ayu, happened to be that day Ayu was on a work holiday so they could spend time together.

"Mas, Anisa's birthday today right?" tanyakanya.

"Yes," Pras replied while nodding.

"Can I give him a present?."

"Of course, you have the right to do so" Pras said.

"But I want to give it directly," said Ayu who made Pras release his embrace.

"Mas.I also want to be close to your son, I promise I won't talk!" the door really.

Pras let out a long sigh, it has been almost a year that they have been in this relationship. During that time Ayu can hold himself in public, never even asking for anything because he is aware of his own position.

Indeed, since that night they had committed to keep it a secret, which is why Pras was a little nervous about Ayu's request.

"I beg you, I honestly handled your son. Since she was a child, she had been abandoned by her mother, let me treat the wounds your wife gave her for Anisa. I swear this is all I'm going to do no more" Ayu said.

Pras finally relented, giving Ayu permission to be closer to her daughter. Of course, on the condition that he is only as his father's work friend, getting permission, Ayu was happy not to play and began to prepare to go to the party.

"But you have to come alone, it would be horrendous if we came together," Pras said.

Ayu nodded in agreement, Pras left first because he had to go back to check his preparations. When the time came they also went to the place where the party was held, all the families and friends were present to enliven it as usual.

Anisa who is now very chatty looks cheerful and plays with her friends, using a royal princess dress she acts like a princess.

It makes Pras very happy, as well as the mother of Patimah. Although he arrived a little late but he did not forget the gift for his grandson, another one he brought a gift from Zahira.

"This is from mom?" anisa asked with an adorable cute voice.

"Dear, mother Zahira leave this gift especially for you."

"Thank you, can Anisa open up?" tanyanya is impatient.

"Oh, baby, let's open it!" replied mother Patimah.

The small hand tore the wrapping paper quickly, although it was a bit difficult but Anisa managed to pull out the contents.

"Well..the doll is funny oma!" yelled Anisa happy.

"Forwardly? this is a doll from abroad! he flew first with a plane before arriving here," said Mother Patimah who made Anisa more excited.

"I did not know that Zahira sent a gift to Anisa," Pras told Bunda Patimah.

"She tried to contact you but it didn't work, she finally told her mother and told her to love Anisa."

"It's okay, the important thing is now that Anisa has received the gift and she is happy," said the mother.

Pras nodded in agreement, and they went back to enjoying the party. Not long after Ayu just appeared, his arrival as usual was very interesting because the dress he wore looks luxurious. Coupled with makeup that makes it even more beautiful as well as charming jewelry, Dian who already knew him welcomed Ayu's arrival with pleasure.

"Welcome home." he said as he approached.

"Thank you auntie, mas Pras invited me so it doesn't feel good if I don't come," he said giving an alibi.

"Of course, auntie's glad you could come. Come inside!" bring him.

Ayu smiled and followed Dian's steps, as she met Pras they talked like ordinary friends. Since the star of the day was Anisa, Ayu immediately approached her to give her the gift she had given.

"Happy birthday Anisa, aunt has a gift for you!" he handed me the gift.

"Thank you, can Anisa open?" tanyakanya.

"Of course!" sahut Ayu enthusiastic.

Anisa keeps Zahira's gift doll on the table because her hands are busy with new gifts, as usual she rips her card wrap to see the contents. As he found a small tiara filled with the jewel of his clear eyes immediately stunned, to his amazement he said, "Wow! it's a very beautiful tiara."

"This is a special tiara for the princess, because that's why the aunt gave it to you," Ayu said.

"Can Anisa wear it?" tanyanya polo's.

"Of course, this is yours."

Ayu also helps Anisa put the tiara on her head, now that the tiara suit is attached Anisa looks like a real princess.

Cheerfully he ran to meet his friends to highlight the beauty of the tiara, it makes Ayu very happy because his efforts to find a gift paid off already.

Seeing how happy Anisa received the tiara Dian and Pras were happy and thanked Ayu, of course the action made Ayu a little embarrassed.

Apparently Anisa really liked the tiara because she did not want to let go, even after the party ended and required them to go home for a break.

Pras just shook his head amused to see the behavior of his little daughter, he did not want to force and finally let Anisa keep wearing his tiara to sleep.

Meanwhile, at the house of Mother Patimah even though the night is late but Mother can not sleep, she waited for a call from Zahira who had told her to call later tonight. After a few boring minutes Zahira finally there also contact, quickly Mother replied.

"Zahira.." call her soft.

"Mother, sorry Zahira called late. Zahira took a shower earlier" he said.

"It's okay, son."

"Where was the party?" ask Zahira enthusiastically.

"As usual, Pras makes it so fancy."

"What about Za's gift? has Anisa accepted it? is he happy?" ask again.

Mother pensively replied, "Of course, she hugged and kissed the doll. He thanked me for you!."

"Oh thank goodness, then it's the old time!? must be tired of running out of the party," he said with a happy smile.

"Dear, baby" replied the mother and the phone died.

In the silence tears flowed down Mother's cheeks, sad heart could not bear what happened to the gift of Zahira. Anisa forgets the doll at the table after she gets the tiara from Ayu, even the most painful is that Anisa prefers the tiara to not let go.
