Sorry, We're Not in line anymore

The Neglected Birthday

Already at 01.00 wib, Hira no say happy birthday with me. Hira is not asleep either. He still cools himself with his cell phone. While Sora, has been asleep since 22:00 wib. Not as usual. But yeah, that's it. Want to be flanked again. Maybe it's no longer important to remember my birthday.

Usually, every birthday, he always gives me surprises I don't expect. Buy a birthday cake or take a meal at the most delicious restaurant.

''You don't remember it's my birthday, '' I said to the point Hira.

''Remember,'' the answer is short.

''Why?'' ask him ketus.

''No why, ''' I replied flatly.

But, before long I immediately headed to the room. I don't want to argue with him in the middle of the night blind like this.

He also went to the room.

''You mean, want to be celebrated?'' tanyanya cynic.

''You are old. Why celebrated, '' again.

I could only shut up, hear him babbling in an uncertain direction. His words hurt, tonight.

''After all, if you don't have a place to remember my birthday, that's okay. You say, I am old and soon to die, I said with a troubled heart.

''What the hell is saying!'' he said protest.

But, after that I slept and did not respond to him again, because it was already sad to get such treatment from the wife.

Hira said, I am old. It is no longer important to celebrate.

***

The next morning, I opened my phone. A few close friends wished me a happy birthday on my phone. Thank you God for the most wonderful gift, today is my simple birthday.

I smile myself reading the chat posts of friends.

Hira sewot saw me smiling to myself in front of my phone.

''Chat same who. Smiling, he said.

''Same people. It can't be the same monkey, I replied.

Before long she approached me and tried to snatch the phone in my hand. I was instantly emotional, as I felt watched over him. She said it was my birthday, not wanting to. But, too willing to know the business of men. I hate a wife like that the most.

''Why did you sign me. You just say birthday with me, you don't want. So, you don't have to interfere in my affairs!'' I said full of emotion.

''Oh that! Okay. From now on you also do not have to take care of me!'' snapped it.

Not wanting a third world war, I chose to stay away from him and sleep in front of the television.

God give me patience. Because I just want to live in peace, even though we often fight for things that are not important.

The next morning, he tried to help me. He ate a good meal. He apologized for forgetting my birthday. But, I've already been hurt it feels like not treated the same wife. But I didn't ask for more. Just happy birthday, I didn't get it.

Not that I expected more. It's just a birthday. He intentionally forgot.

''Mas, eat at Mbah Darmo yuk restaurant, I am the treat.'' he said persuaded me.

''No. ''No. Thanks though. Eat it yourself. Don't take me anymore. If you can not take care of me again, I said in a tone full of emotion.

''Don't be so, Mom, I'm sorry. I intentionally do not love anything with you because I do not know what surprise love, '' he explained at length.

''It's okay. I'm gonna be dead soon. You don't have to bother having to surprise me. I am old, I said.

''I'm sorry. You are not wrong. All your words yesterday were right. Okay!'' I said end the discussion that morning.

Sora came out of his room and ran over to me. He whines for his bottle of milk. I immediately rushed to the kitchen to wash the bottle and I made his favorite indomilk.

''Dad, ''' he said to me.

''Later buyin KFC yes, '' he asked me.

''Lho..suka KFC anyway,'' ask.

He also nodded.

''Ok, later in the afternoon we go to KFC yes, eat KFC yes, '' I promised Sora. Again he nodded.

''Oh, my mother loves KFC, '' said Hira.

''I just want to go with Hira. Don't you go with me, I said giving a warning to Hira.

Hira just kept quiet and passed leaving me and Sora at the dinner table, both of them.

I saw her eyes glazed over. In my heart, Rasain retaliates me. It must have been more painful. Actually I don't want to do evil with Hira. But, he was always looking for trouble. What's wrong with just giving me a word, on my birthday. Not a bit of an ABG. But I also need the attention of my loved ones.

O Allah, debate after debate of trivial matters, I have always experienced. Is this a sign that I no longer fit Hira?

I hope that my bad thoughts will not come true. I want my household, all right, until death do me part. Because, I have indeed established my heart, choosing Hira to be my companion.

As I was preparing to go to KFC with Sora, I suddenly saw Hira crying as she pleased. He apologized to me for the umpteenth time.

''Mas, sorry I am yes.'' she said to me, crying as she pleased.

I just kept quiet to respond to her apology.

''Why does he always hurt me. I love him so much. But he did not return my love with all my heart.'' I said speak to myself in my heart.

All because of him. If he doesn't treat me like he does, I don't act like this. I can't believe she hugged me from behind. Fortunately Sora did not see it. Hira cried even more. He hopes I forgive him.

''Mas, let me come to KFC yes.'' he asked.

''No, I don't want to go with you. I just want to go with Sora. Because he has to be happy. Not you, I said cynically.

''Mas, I'm following ya. I hungry. I haven't eaten all day. Want to wait for the KFC treaty from you, he said memelas.

Once again, I'm still quiet, haven't given her permission to go with Sora to KFC.

''Swear by Allah I am hungry Mas, I have not eaten from morning, '' he said again reassuring me.

''Yes....Mas, he said whining again just like a child who asked to buy ice cream.

''I don't have any money if I want to buy you. Can follow . But, you will pay yourself.'' I said forced.

''Please Mas, '' he said.

''The mother followed, yes Father, '' asked Sora innocently.

''Yes, dear, mother follow. The three of us maem fried chicken KFC, Hira said with the peda. In fact, I allowed him to follow, because he had to.

''Take care. Pay yourself!'' my ulak reminded Hira.

''Yes, yes, I remember. Pay yourself, '' he replied with a grin.

Finally, the three of them got in the car. The plan was earlier, I'm the same Sora just want to use a motor only.(connect)
