Tonight is Arka's birthday night. This whole day, Arka wasn't at her house. My mom had many reasons to take him out.
From eating out to shopping. Even mama invites Arka to go to the place most liked Arka. That is the riverbank, where Arka and Lia came to paint at that time.
After almost nine o'clock in the evening, only mama and Arka came home. When they got home, their house looked dark as if there were no occupants.
"Ma, what the hell is this. How our house is like no one at all" said Arka.
"Where do you know Arka, mama and you will walk all day." said Mama.
"Don't make Arka panic ma, mama will know what kind of condition Arka is." said Arka.
"Yes mama knows, let's go in first. Let's see what's going on inside" said Mama.
Arka and Mama entered the house, when they wanted to go inside. Fireworks are rolling from the back garden of Arka's house.
Arka really likes to see fireworks, he canceled his intention to go inside. He went to the garden behind his house, followed by his mother from behind.
"Happy birthday dear father's son" said the father as he welcomed his son.
Papa doesn't want to make a surprise that's too shocking. Because he was afraid of the abnormal heart condition of his child.
When papa said that, his college friends sprung from behind the flowers and trees in the garden of his house.
Arka was very happy, when she saw her friends who came to her house.
"Mama,, papa,,, this is the twenty-fourth anniversary of the Ark. It turns out papa and mama are merayanya." said Arka moved.
"Yes Arka, you're mom and dad's favorite kid. You have to remember that, son." said Mama.
"Yes Arka, you've got us all" said all his friends.
"Thank you so many friends" said Arka happily.
Arka was very moved and happy to see what papa and his mama were ready for. In fact, without his knowledge as well. Mama and Papa invited all her friends who were on campus.
In her happiness, Arka remembers the one person she most wanted to see. That person couldn't have come at this time, because his mama and papa couldn't have invited that person. That person was Lia, a special person to her. It would be happier, if Lia was among her college friends. But where it might happen, Lia is not one major with Arka on campus.
"Happy birthday Arka, may you be happy tonight huh" said Intan.
"Thank you" said Arka.
Intan knew very well Arka's face was not too happy. Arka must have expected Lia to be there.
"Arka, I have something for you. Wait a minute." said Intan.
Arka just nods, he does not want to win but what Intan has for him.
Intan picks up Lia who is already in front of Arka's house. Lia was told to wait a while there, until Intan came to pick her up.
Shortly after, Intan returned and approached Arka.
"Arka, I have something for you. You see that, you must be happy." said Intan while referring to Lia.
