Not the Dust Granules

Irene.

"You look so pretty wearing Irene's necklace".

"Thank you very much, I didn't expect to get a surprise like this at all".

"It's nothing, look behind you now".

"There's a surprise for you".

Irene turned back. He saw both his parents and his sister present at the restaurant with a birthday cake. Not to forget his two in-laws also came to bring a special gift on Irene's birthday.

Not stopping there, Irene's friends and employees were also invited by Alex, including Doni. The surprise party this time was really complete felt by Irene. The happiness he felt made him shed tears.

"I only bring the people closest to you, even if there are still people who are not present, I apologize to you Irene".

"No Alex, this is more than enough".

"I'm grateful to you".

"I didn't expect my birthday this time to be this festive".

Irene was so excited. Both of her beautiful cheeks were already wet with tears. Alex dares to wipe the tears on Irene's pretty face.

"For this time, don't cry anymore".

"I want to make you happy now and then".

"Forget my dark past".

"Please, give me a chance to make amends for all my mistakes".

"It's enough Alex, don't talk anymore, or I'll cry again".

The two welcome the arrival of Irene's family and friends. The birthday song they were singing was done. Mom and Dad had Irene blow out the candles on it.

"Pray first baby, and say your request".

"May God give long life and abundant happiness".

Irene closed her eyes, then blew out the candle. A standing ovation accompanies the cutting of the birthday cake. The first cut he gave to Alan, then his parents and in-laws then the last, Laura his sister.

Alex's surprise party tonight was a huge success. Irene was even more open to Alex. He doesn't seem to hate her anymore. Both of them melted in the midst of family happiness.

While the show was still going on, Doni pulled Irene away from her desk. Dai has prepared a special gift for the woman he loves. Doni gave it to Irene.

"Happy birthday, Irene, take my gift".

"It may not be as luxurious as other gifts, but it's quite precious and special to me".

"Doni, don't be too shy, I wasn't expecting any of this".

"Thank you very much for this gift from you".

In the middle of their conversation, Alex approached the two. He deliberately stood next to Irene and showed affection to Doni.

"You're here, don't like the sudden disappearance of Irene".

"I'm afraid someone else will want to

take you from me".

"Sorry Alex, I didn't mean to kidnap Irene, it's just that I just wanted to give her a present".

"After all, he's still entitled to wherever he wants, right??".

"We both know how Irene doesn't like being set up".

"Have, stop.don't ruin tonight's happiness with your obscure quarrels".

"Please appreciate me, and let's have some fun tonight".

"Forget another problem first".

"What matters now, togetherness".

Irene then left the two men who often fight, to join her family. It's been a long time since Irene got married, she hasn't visited them. This moment was a longing cure for Irene and her family.

"How are you doing now??".

"Sorry Mom, I haven't been able to come home yet".

"Also happy mom saw Alex treating you, she seems to love you so much".

"Your face's not gonna lie".

"Mother's right, Alex has changed a lot now".

"He was very kind and considerate".

"Other than my pregnancy, she turned into a standby husband".

"Thank God, son, there's wisdom behind everything".

"We must be patient with it".

The excitement of Irene's birthday party tonight is more complete with Tamara and her friends. Because it was late at night, Alex invited Irene to come home. It is not good for pregnant women to sleep too late. While others are still fun partying ria. Irene's family and in-laws have been home since. So, only Irene and Alex are going home together tonight.

"Sorry Irene, we have to go home first".

"You're tired already, I'm afraid your content will get in trouble later".

"Thank you Alex, I'm a little tired".

"It's a good thing you took me home right away".

"Thank you, for tonight, for the rest of my life, I won't forget it".

"I'm happy to make you laugh again, as cheerful as ever".

"By the way, what did Doni give you, did you open it??".

"Not yet, do you want to do it".

"Here, please open it, just to find out what it is".

"No, I don't have the right to do that".

"Save it, open it later when you get home".

The two were silent the entire way of the restaurant to the apartment. It didn't feel like they had reached the basement. Irene got off and waited for Alex to park her car. Both walked to the apartment.

Inside, Irene changed into her party clothes and cleaned herself up. After that, he left the room. Alex was lying uncomfortable on the couch. Irene approached him and sat down next to Alex.

"Alex, starting tonight, sleep in the room".

"I know you're uncomfortable here, right??".

"What's wrong Irene, don't worry about me, take a break, it's late at night".

"But Alex, your son is eager to be touched by his father before he goes to sleep".

"You can do that, right??".

"But, is it true that you don't mind??".

"I'm afraid you won't be comfortable".

"I didn't ask for it, but your son wanted it, you wanted to fulfill his request, didn't you??".

Alex nodded and followed Irene towards her bedroom. Irene let Alex lie down beside her. Alex gently rubbed Irene's stomach and invited the baby to talk. Unknowingly, Alex's tears fell right over Irene's palm. Dai became a little surprised, seeing the taste of haru on her husband's face.

"Sorry Irene, I'm very happy, so I don't feel like these tears are dripping".

"It's okay Alex, just move on, it seems our son likes his father's voice".

"I'm sure when he's born, he'll love you more than I do".

"You mother, this child will love both parents".

"I promise, he'll be a very happy boy".

"We'll always keep her together".

Alex was engrossed in telling stories so he did not notice that Irene had fallen asleep. He then pulled out a blanket and lay down next to Irene. Alex smiled as slowly Irene was finally willing to accept herself. Alex finally fell asleep comfortably next to his wife.
