Happy birthday to you

Happy long life we pray for

Happy healthy sentosa

Happy long life and happy ....

The chant echoed when someone had just opened the door. He immediately welcomed this excitement with a haru smile that was revealed. A smile united with bitterness at the age of half a century.

Rafa sighed, then he took one step forward.

"Happy birthday, Father," he said, pulling both ends of his lips.

His eyes were staring at someone who had been taking good care of him all this time. "Today Rafa can not surprise-in the father with the company of the mother ...," he said while lowering his eyes. Those eyes were really cute, as if there was no more spirit to say the next sentence. However, Rafa clenched his hands and breathed in a lot of air, hoping for some energy to enter the body.

"But Rafa still hopes that Dad will be happy. Sorry this is all Rafa can do, sorry Rafa can't make an amazing surprise like what you did before ...."

In front of Rafa, Hilman with all his might was holding back his tears that wanted to burst out. Do not see how about the figure of the old man who has an athletic body, Hilman is still a human who feels sad when his loved ones can no longer accompany him.

Rafa lowered his head, feeling that he was mispronounced because talking about his mother instead made him sad as well, they should be happy at the moment.

Ina who was looking to the side immediately rubbed Rafa's back. While doing so, he looked up to Hilman.

"Happy birthday, Om. I hope you are healthy always" said the girl who made Rafa look even a little bit down.

"Yes, thank you."

"Oh yeah, this is your Junior High friend who used to love playing in that house huh?" ask Hilman to melt the atmosphere.

Rafa nodded once. "Yes, it's Ina."

"Oh, hahaha. Yes, his name is Ina, I forgot so long I didn't see."

Ina chuckles small.

"Well, this is for Dad. Rafa doesn't know what to buy, but I hope you like it." The black-haired man who was all tanned handed a paper bag to his father.

Hilman smiled as he rubbed the top of Rafa's hair. Instead of taking the gift, the man hugged his son. What Hilman needs is not an item or anything, he just needs Rafa to be a good boy, who always prays for her.

A single tear came out of Rafa's eye, but it soon wiped. He did not want to make others sad if he saw it this way. Rafa and Hilman hugged each other, giving each other the kink and trust that they could get through this.

"Eh, sorry Den, sir. This is a candle that is not blown," said Bi Adab while laughing awkwardly.

Hilman chuckled, then took off his arms with Rafa, and closed his eyes for a moment before blowing out the candle.

Vallen drops his tears every time he sees what's going on inside. She was not touched, because basically the girl could not hear what they were talking about there. It's just that Vallen feels very disappointed because Rafa did not tell him that today his father's birthday, his father who is even his own future in-law. Vallen was also disappointed because Rafa prefers to be accompanied by Ina in his business, is not that useful as Vallen? Can't that guy just ask himself? Vallen also wants to be reliable, wants to play an important role in Rafa's life, but in fact? Rafa never sent an invitation letter to invite him to go further through his life, even to just help him he was removed from the list that Rafa made.

Vallen stepped behind the wall in front of the garage. He lowered his body in the corner between the garage door and the wall. Then his gaze turned to the gray evening sky above. Vallen felt .. rain today is not happy like yesterday-yesterday when Rafa, this time painful.
