Celine's Birthday Anniversary

After James started working, Celine's days were followed by a routine:

Celine wakes up at about 06:00, then has breakfast with her family. After the men of the Wijaya family went to work, only then did he take a shower.

At 08:00 - at 10:00, Celine begins her studies with Mama Ratna. The first maple I learned was Indonesian. Because according to the weight of the curriculum, Indonesian maple is preferred compared to English maple.

At 11:00 - 12:00, Celine helps Mama Ratna cook and after that they will enjoy lunch together.

At 14:00 - at 15:00 Celine's lessons begin again. This time, what I learned was English. After that, Celine rested in the room.

At 16:00 - at 17:00, depending on who has gone home first, whether Papa Heru or Bang Alex, then the hour becomes a Celine study session again. If Celine had fallen asleep during the break, then either Mama Ratna or James would have woken Celine at this time.

If Papa Heru or Bang Alex have not yet returned, then that time will be Celine's free hour. Celine usually spends the time taking a bath, helping Mama Ratna prepare dinner (if Mama Ratna doesn't teach), or playing with James. Or, if Celine falls asleep, then Celine will be left to fall asleep until 18:00.

At 18:00, usually all members of the Wijaya family have re-assembled at home. Only Alex doesn't come home sometimes if there's more business in his office. Before 19:00, usually they will enjoy dinner together, which will then be continued with PKW.

At 20:00 - 21:00, Celine will enter the final study session of the day, either with Papa Heru or with Bang Alex, depending on the weekly study schedule arranged by James. After that, Celine closed the day with sleep.

Thus is the general schedule that Celine lived from Monday to Friday. Saturdays and Sundays are family recreation times, whether the whole family will be recreation together like going to the beach or to the mall; or they will enjoy their respective me time. What was clear on both days, Celine's learning was comforted.

...****************...

As usual, after her English lessons with Mama Ratna, Celine enjoyed her break in the room today. After reading through the pages of the novel, Celine fell asleep.

Celine woke up around 18:00. Surprisingly this time no one woke him up. Celine then walked out of her room.

Outside, it's a little dark. Unlike usual, the lights have not been turned on. This made Celine a little scared.

"Mama .." call him. But there's no answer.

Where are they all ? Ask Celine inwardly.

Slowly filled with fear, Celine walked up to the switch to turn on the lights in the living room. His mouth repeatedly called Mama Ratna and Bang James in the hope of hearing their words. But until his fingers touch the light switch, the awaited answer is never heard.

As soon as the lights came on, there was a sudden exclamation, "SURPRISEEE !!! Happy Sweet 17th Birthday !!! "

Celine's eyes widened when she saw all the members of the Wijaya family popping out from behind the sofa. Papa Heru holds a birthday cake in his hand.

But Wijaya's family's broad smile did not last long once she saw Celine lower her head, cover her face with both hands, and begin to sob. In a panic, they approached Celine. Mama Ratna who advanced the front and immediately embraced Celine.

"Sorry, sorry, Celine was shocked huh?? Sorry yeah .... The James ... ngusulin makes all the surprises," said Mama Ratna began to blame James.

"Yeeee .... Mama herself was supporting, now turn on people. Who tried that directly for the task, until Papa's phone tipped buy all the cake?" james defended himself.

But seeing Celine still sobbing, James began to be wracked with guilt and eventually apologized. "Sorry yeah, Lin .... Bang James is wrong .... I don't think Celine's feelings. Celine was afraid of being alone?"

With her head still down and face still closed, Celine shook her head. And before long, interspersed with sobs, a voice said stammeringly, "Mama ... Papa ... Bang James ... Bang Alex .... Thank ... thank you .... Celine .. happy ...."

Hearing that, all the members of the Wijaya family smiled in relief.

"It .... Already .... Birthday again can not cry. Come ... blow out the candle !" papa Heru said. Then they sang together the song 'Happy birthday to you' for Celine.

Tonight is not only Celine who is happy, but all members of the Wijaya family also feel happy. Celine was able to call all the names of the Wijaya family members, and for the first time Celine was able to express her feelings through her words.
