The Light of Love Salma

Sasa's Birthday

One by one the servants brought by Sasa's father walked with a stack of food neatly packed in a box and also some snacks neatly wrapped in a plastic with a cartoon image of Sasa's favorite the snow princess.

Sasa smiled broadly as he slightly jumped up to see the Daddy coming with a sizable gift in his hand, while the two servants behind him brought a multi-storey birthday cake with a picture of a snow princess on it,

All looked so special and magnificent, it did not escape the attention of the other santri, they never expected that the innocent and jovial Sasa was as rich as it is today, at first they only thought that Sasa was a daughter of an ordinary person who was quite respected, but it was unexpected that Sasa was afraid of twisting.

"Happy birthday daughter Daddy," said Daddy Sasa with a smile on his face approaching the princess who was standing waiting for him.

"Thank you Daddy" said Sasa running towards the Daddy and hugging him tightly in love.

"Together my princes, whatever you want, Daddy will definitely give," said Daddy Sasa while kissing Sasa's cheek that looks a little more contained than usual.

"If Sasa asks for a new Mami, will Daddy grant it?" sasa asked with a hopeful face that was clearly visible on his face.

"Of course, whatever you ask Daddy to do," replied Daddy Sasa with a smile that seemed reassuring if he would actually grant Sasa's request.

"If Sasa asks Mbak Tari to be Mami Sasa, does Daddy agree?" sasa's question was enough to make Tari and Ummi surprised after hearing it.

While Daddy Sasa just kept quiet without being able to comment, he could not agree on what his daughter wanted, because Daddy Sasa could not force Tari to love, what else love him.

"Khem," Ghozi's voice could be heard disturbing the ears distracting Sasa and the others.

"Ghozi, what's wrong?" tanya Ummi who feels strange with the sudden arrival of Ghozi.

"Ummi, there are a lot of people in the boarding school, they bring a food box he said he wanted to put in front of the office, did Ummi tell them?" Ghozi said what he wanted to say.

"Oh, yes, today is Sasa's birthday and he wants to celebrate his birthday in front of the office" replied Ummi.

"Alright, then Ghozi excuse me." Pamit Ghozi with a withered facial expression and a stack of unfinished exam papers in correction were in his hands.

"Where are you going, Ghozi?" tanya Ummi prevented Ghozi who wanted to leave Daddy and Sasa who were standing not far from where he stood.

"I'm going to go to the room, Ummi." Answer Ghozi casually.

"Wouldn't you also accompany Sasa to celebrate his birthday?" Ummi asked back.

"My job is still a lot of Ummi, and I can't just leave it," answer that is enough to make Dari get satirized by it.

"Let's correction together with Mas Ghozi, better now Mas Ghozi also accompany Sasa to celebrate his birthday." Sahut Tari who has been silent since.

Ghozi thought for a moment, if he did not join in celebrating Sasa's birthday then Daddy Sasa could freely approach Dance and Ghozi would regret if the two were getting closer or even married.

"Alright, I'm coming, but I'll keep this exam sheet first." Pamit Ghozi walked quickly to her room, Ghozi's mind went back to work thinking about what she could do so that Daddy Sasa could stay away from Dari.

"Thank you, Ummi," replied Daddy Sasa politely.

Actually Daddy Sasa did not intend to make Sasa a santri at an early age, but circumstances forced him to do all that, Daddy Sasa could not accept if his favorite daughter was taken by someone else, he said, even though the man was his own wife's brother, it was because of this that Daddy Sasa made the decision to put Sasa in the boarding house and would take it again when the time came.

Everyone had fun getting free food and cookies from Sasa, not just roommates getting rations from Daddy Sasa, all students in the Ummi boarding school also get food rations including Mbok Bat who today can rest very calmly and comfortably, because he does not need to cook as much as usual.

"Thank you Sasa, I hope you can be a pious and devoted child to both parents yes," a strand of him sounded from Mbok Bat's lips.

"Just pray Sasa can have Mami just Mbok, so Sasa can stay with Daddy again, and Sasa can have a complete family," sahut Sasa who quite hit the heart of his Daddy who now can only stare bitterly at his beloved little princess.

"Amin, Mbok do'a, hopefully Sasa can be spared to get a new Mami," said Mbok Bat as he gently rubbed Sasa's head neatly covered by his hood.

"Aminnn," said Sasa innocently as he rubbed his face with both hands.

'If the Mami you're referring to isn't my Dance, then I'll also guarantee it, but if it's my Tari, sorry Sasa, I can't just let it go, I will keep trying so that Tari can be my life companion, ' Inner Ghozi while staring fixedly at Sasa who is now back cutting the cake for his friends.

"Dance!" call Daddy Sasa when he sees Dari just silently watching Sasa who is enjoying the food that his Daddy brought with his roommates who are now sitting in a group with him.

"Yes, what's wrong?" sahut Tari turned to look at Daddy Sasa who was still standing in his place.

"Can we talk alone?" daddy Sasa asked with a hopeful face that was clearly visible on his face.

"Can it, what's up?" The dance runs closer towards Daddy Sasa who sits a little away from the others but is still visible.

"You look so close to Sasa" said Daddy Sasa.

"I really like children, what's more Sasa one room with me, because that's why we got close, besides I'm the head of the room there, anyway, it's my responsibility to control and know what happens to my room members," Tari replied with the intention that Daddy Sasa did not misunderstand the closeness between himself and Ada.

"Thank you for being willing to take care of my daughter" continued Daddy Sasa with a smile that was now clearly visible on his face.

"Sama-sama, I will also do the same to the other students, so you don't have to hesitate!" the answer is quite affirming if Tari is not at all thinking of being a connecting mother for Sasa.

Daddy Sasa was speechless digesting every word that came out of Tari's lips, he wasn't a fool who didn't understand the meaning of Tari's words just now, but Daddy Sasa did not want to give up and lose with what Dari said.

"Do you already have a partner, Dance?" ask Daddy Sasa.

"Pair how do you mean?" sahut Tari who deliberately called Daddy Sasa with your name, he did not want Daddy Sasa to think if he had hopes to be his wife because he was close to his daughter.

"Priest candidate or future husband for example," Daddy Sasa explained what he meant.
