“Halo darling! You how are you?. Same mom Daddy misses. When did you get back to Zahra?.” Sapa Mum Mirna.
Zahra had not contacted her parents for nearly two months. Because Zahra didn't want her parents to worry about her.
“Iya, Mom. Sorry I haven't heard. Now Zahra is busy taking care of the next project. After this project is approved Zahra promises to go there.” Zahra, who felt bad about her parents, tried to give her reasons for not being able to return to Jakarta.
“Iya son! I know how!. Oh, honey, I want to talk about it. I'm looking forward to.” Ms. Mirna who was worried because she wanted to be interrupted by Mr. Sulam who tried to join in the video call.
“Eh Dear! Kangen's dad! I made your favorite chicken sambel mercon!.But baby you can't come here. If sent via JN* until yes?.” Mr. Sulam who has an idea to send his son's favorite food through interracial services.
“Yeah Dad, there is a meal until it is rempeyek!.” Zahra commented on her father's idea with a small laugh. Making Bu Mirna who was inexhaustible with the idea of her husband, finally patted the shoulder of Mr. Sulam because of the scuffles.
“You're fine there, aren't you, son? How come I noticed your face looks tangled. Many thoughts? If dizziness lives your work, let you in Jakarta with Father and Mother. I can still support both of you with pensioned money.” Mr. Sulam who saw his son's lethargic face made him worry, because after all the happiness of his son is the most important than anything.
“No, Zahra is just exhausted. By the way, Zahra will send something to Dad and Mom. By-by Jessica, I'll send you the package soon. Zahra hasn't sent yet!.” Zahra who suddenly remembered the deposit of goods from Jessica for her parents in Jakarta.

Their conversation took place with blue haru because in addition to giving up longing, they also both celebrated the birthday of their only child, Zahra. Until finally their video call was finished by releasing each other distant kisses.
***
Zahra, who had finished her work, returned to Jessica's mansion. His body was tired and his mind was very tired lately. Wanting to let go of the fatigue with his friends but what power, the two friends prefer to vacation with their respective families until Zahra is alone in the mansion owned by Jessica.
Tiredness also hit Zahra, and his eyes that were not strong enough to withstand the sleepiness finally fell asleep in his luxurious bed.
***
At seven o'clock in the evening, Zahra finally opened her eyes and got out of bed and looked at the clock on the wall of her room.
“Udah at seven nights? I slept for a long time?.” Zahra then went to the bathroom and cleaned herself from work after not showering and changing clothes.
After changing clothes he also checked the notification on his phone. Fear if there are messages from clients, friends and Lu Chen. But the result is nil, there is a bit of disappointment because important people in his life do not know that today he has a birthday. Although in fact Lu Chen had not been told by Zahra his birthday, because Lu Chen had never asked him.
He slowly went down the stairs, and was surprised that it turned out that it was very dark around the room. Housekeepers never let the kitchen lights go out. Zahra also fumbled the location of the switch in the kitchen room.
Suddenly only…
Glontang!!
There was the sound of gallons falling and rolling somewhere.
Zahra climbed back up the stairs because she was afraid of the dark. It was the same at the time of the competition and he immediately hugged Lu Chen when the back stage lights suddenly died.
But Zahra's stomach voice couldn't lie this time.
Krukk!!
Zahra was really hungry, she was desperate to go back to the kitchen. The lights suddenly light up, Amber, Jessica, Jiazhen, and her two assistants Linda and Sky bring a birthday cake for Zahra.
“Happy Birthday Zahra!.” (mandarin language) Zahra was made shocked and moved by the presence of his friends, he also closed his mouth so shocked.
Suddenly the sound of people singing approached Zahra from a distance.
Lu Chen and Xiao Feng were carrying hand bouquets and gift boxes. Not feeling the tears of Zahra falling, the person who filled his mind lately came and gave a surprise on his special day. Lu Chenpun approached Zahra and gave her Zahra's favorite sunflower hand bouquet and hugged her lover.
“Happy birthday dear!.” Lu Chenpun kissed Zahra's lips with sweetness.
The people who saw their affection both cheered and sowed confettie around them.
Now was the time for Lu Chen to give his special gift to Zahra. And Zahra opened it carefully, it turns out that the contents of the box is a mini version of Cu pat Kai hanger. Zahra was even more moved by the gift, she knew the intention of Lu Chen giving the gift to her.
Lu Chen still remembered that the first time he met Zahra was because of the key chain of the pig. And the hanger was still stored until this second, and plus one more gift from Lu Chen with a different version made his heart even happier.
“I know maybe that ordinary jewelry won't be worth this hanger. You know what I mean ‘kan?.” Zahra also received Lu Chen's gift and immediately kissed her lips.
“Yeah!! Uhuy! Mesra Abis!!. Shouted Amber who was anxious with the affection of the two of them.
Zahra's birthday party took place in a simple but lively manner. Jiazhen had prepared an Indonesian chef to welcome his small guests, the party was filled with barbeque dishes and also native Indonesian cuisine, especially the Sundanese cuisine menu Zahra's favorite. Making Zahra who was very longed for her homeland became even more moved and happy.
