Raina sat in class. He left earlier than his classmates. Suddenly Patrick comes and sits beside Raina. He pulled out an invitation card from his bag. Give it to Raina.
"This what?" raina asked while holding the invitation. She didn't know why Patrick had given her the invitation.
"My birthday wish," replied Patrick, smiling at him.
"You're a birthday?" asked Raina who was still paying attention to the invitation in her hand.
"Yes, but you're the only one I invited to this class" Patrick said.
"Why is it just me, the other friends aren't invited?" ask Raina. Curiosity makes him want to know the reason Patrick only invited him. Usually, birthdays are attended by all classmates.
Patrick shakes.
"You're the most special of all" Patrick said.
Raina fell silent. He wondered why Patrick had only invited him. Not his classmates.
Though he and Patrick just knew, why Patrick wanted to invite him.
"Must come! don't say no!" Patrick immediately stood up, walking away from Raina after speaking.
"Patrick ...," call Raina. He should know the reason.
Patrick doesn't understand that Raina's call has passed by leaving class. Raina just silently glued, looking at the invitation on the table for her. Still confused, it had not occurred to him to read the contents. Before long I, Dodo, Ami just came to class. We put the backpack down and sat down with Raina. Seeing that there was an invitation in Raina's hands. The invitation is dark blue. Looks elegant. Troubled the curiosity of the four of us.
"What's that forte?" manya curious.
"Invitation from Patrick," replied Raina.
"Free meal time, right?" ask Ami enthusiastically. About eating, especially for free, he will stand in the first place despite having to queue for hours. The important thing is to be full. The rest of the people were also still quite decent than the heads of the salted fish.
"Yes Ami-Ami, about eating directly connect, your misqueen soul can not be dammed first," said Dodo. He knows Ami. It's just food and food in his brain.
"Yes who knows Ami can ride a free meal, just bring a gift of rare mushrooms in the ami kebon is done," said Ami. Understandably Ami had no money, every day never snacked. Most nebeng here and there come to eat instead he became sexy local hygiene and comfort.
"Let's be invited Mi, the part of cleaning up the remnants of food that is not exhausted on the plate and then wash the dishes all together" said Dodo. It has become a habit of Ami to be a dishwasher in the face. Dapet sesaan food plus dapet pay when gabut.
"Break lo Do, I usually eat leftover food on the plate if the condition, great you know it," said Ami.
"Ha ha ha." Raina and I laughed. These two absurd friends of mine are indeed different from the rest.
"That means we all get that invitation, too, tar huh?" I asked Raina.
"No, Patrick said I'm the only one who got this invitation" Raina replied.
"You can, we are not invited, but there are still human species in this class, except Dodo," said Ami.
"Anyone, I am indeed a group with goats but still an ancient human species," said Dodo.
"Well, how can we not be invited, you are invited?" I started to wonder.
"I don't know" said Raina.
I'm speechless. Feeling weird Patrick just invited Raina not with all of us. Moreover, he counted new in our class.

Raina dressed up that night. He's going to Patrick's house. I sat on the bed watching Raina dress up. Actually I'm worried about him. But Raina is not good if she has to refuse to come to Patrick's birthday.
"Raina, are you sure you're coming?" my many.
"Yes" replied Raina.
"Do you want me to be with you?" my many.
"No, you have to take care of Bobo" Raina replied.
"Yes, but I find it strange that Patrick invites you not to the others" I said.
Raina was silent for a moment. Holding the powder, while staring at the mirror in front of him.
"Perhaps because at that time, I met Patrick first before going to class" Raina replied.
"It may be, may it be true, you must remain careful" I said.
Raina leaves soon. I was a little worried to see him go. He took a taxi and left.
I waited for Raina late at night but Raina never came home. I went downstairs, waiting for Raina to fall asleep on the couch. Someone stroked my cheek, I think Raina, when she woke up, turned out to be Albern.
"My husband," I said.
"Why does my darling sleep here?" ask Albern. He's still wearing a suit. Then Albern just got back from the office. I hugged my husband who was just coming home.
"Yes kangen?" ask Albern.
"Yes, my husband has been coming home late at night lately" I replied.
"In the office again the audit so he came home late at night," said Albern.
I hugged him tighter. His warmth makes me comfortable. I think my burden is gone. With him I feel safe.
"Darling you haven't answered my question, why are you sleeping here?" ask Albern.
I took off my arms, looking at my husband's face.
"Waiting for Raina, she went to our classmate Patrick's birthday" I replied.
"It's been 2 pm, it's impossible not to go home yet" said Albern.
"Yes, birthday is late at night" I said.
"So go up what?" ask Albern.
"Taxi" I replied.
Albern immediately pulled out his phone. He asked me to tell the taxi that was booked earlier, then Albern called the taxi's customer service. A few moments later Albern spoke to me.
"Raina's down on Maribar Street, what's Patrick's street?" ask Albern.
"Wait," I replied.
I went upstairs. Take a student book that has our name and address one class. Coincidentally yesterday I borrowed it for the division of the physics practice group. I went back downstairs to Albern.
"This is a list of my class's names and addresses" I said, putting the book on the table. Soon Albern opened the book. He looked up Patrick's name and matched it to the address he got.
"This isn't Patrick's home address, so why did Raina go down that street? isn't he going to Patrick's?" ask Albern.
"Yes, why did Raina even go down the street that wasn't Patrick's?" I said full of questions.
"I tried to call Patrick first" Albern said.
I'm nodding.
Albern immediately called Patrick from the phone number listed in the book, only me, Dodo, Ami, and Raina did not include a phone number because we did not have a phone.
"Hallo" said Albern.
"Yes, hello" replied Patrick.
"It's Patrick?" ask Albern.
"Yes, who is it?" ask Patrick.
"Albern, Raina's sister, said Raina went to your birthday, did she come?" ask Albern.
"No, sister, I was waiting for Raina to come, but never came, I wanted to call Raina but she would not have a cell phone, I thought Raina would not come" replied Patrick.
"Oh that way, let's say that if you know where Raina is, she might be late" Albern said.
"Surely, brother" replied Patrick.
Albern hung up. He came up to me who was worried thinking about Raina.
"Raina did not come to Patrick's birthday, it was said Patrick was also waiting for Raina's arrival, he thought Raina would not come," said Albern.
"Where to go with Raina?" my many.
Albern. He thought of something.
