Split To Be Together

Status Inauguration

“Better mom go home. Mr. Andre was successfully found by citizen”.

Abel soon passed away from where he had stopped. His steps are accelerating. I can't wait to see Andre. Arrived at the restaurant. His eyes worked harder than usual to find Andre. There's no one there.

“Where did the people go? Isn't this still working hours?”

Abel really has been dizzy with this. Everything that happened had driven him crazy for a moment. He was unable to hold back his emotions and evaporated them by shouting, “What is this ???”

Suddenly people came out of hiding singing happy birthday songs. Abel was crying. Whether it's because of joy, happiness, or sadness. Everything is mixed into one. Andre approached Abel with a cake in his hand.

“Before the candle is blown, you pray first what you want. After that, cut the cake. And give your first piece of cake to someone you think is special”.

Abel raised both his hands to pray to Allah.. The people present guaranteed Abel's prayer. Cut the cake Andre brought. There were cheers shouting Andre's name, which meant Abel had to give the first piece to Andre.

“For Abel. . . . special sister”.

The sound of applause echoed. All hysterical when he saw Abel feeding the cake to Andre.

“Sorry sister yes. It's not that you worry about your sister crying. Sister just wanted to give you something different on your birthday”.

Andre clasped Abel's hand. As if he did not want to escape and separate even if only for a moment.

“Bad brother. It felt like Abel was going to die standing up. Abel is afraid of losing Sister again”.

“Kakak won't go again. Because half of my breath is in you. That means if you leave, you can't live your life anymore. Before I apologized, because on a special day for Abel, I couldn't give anything expensive. Sister can only pray that your career will be more successful, healthy always, hopefully what you are doing can be fulfilled, he said, and with the increase of your age may Abel become a better person again than the previous year”.

All who watched uttered, “Aamiin”.

“So big sister's hope that Abel can receive a gift from this simple brother. Would Abel be Brother's lover ? If Abel is willing, take this ring. But if otherwise, close this box again”.

As the choir all compact said, “Receive . . . Accept . . . Accept”.

“Sorry, Brother. But Abel can't”.

Surprised all the people. And so is Andre. They look disappointed in their faces.

“Abel couldn't take the ring. Abel wanted . . . Brother who wears it directly to Abel”'s finger.

It looked like a starlight in Andre's eyes. Happiness envelops every corner of space. Andre immediately pinned the ring on Abel's ring finger.

“Today brother can only change our status to be clearer, have not proposed to you. Because brother wants to propose in front of both your parents directly”.

“Thank you for everything brother, thanks for today. This is truly the most valuable gift Abel ever got”.

“If there is free time. Let's go back to our hometown first. Brother will visit your home with both parents brother”.
