The Second Ring

Chapter 52

Today is Alvin's first birthday. Olivia plans to celebrate at her workplace, invite employees and invite some customers.

There is no big party. Just a thank you because he can be with Alvin this year in full. It feels so happy. With the liveliness of Alvin that always drain his energy. Many times he will be overwhelmed to face the little Alvin.

At the age of one year, Alvin could not walk. I don't know what the hell. The doctor told Alvin that the boy was healthy. Only its activity needs to be watched out for. Not so with her mother-in-law's comments.

His mother Vino always said that Alvin was slow to walk, unhealthy and many more things. Because, at the age that has not even one year his son has run smoothly has also begun to learn to talk.

"Children today are stupid. Nothing is possible" said the woman dressed in fashionable clothes the other day while visiting.

If Olivia's mother-in-law had come with Raisya, that day would not have been. Olivia thinks it's better if her in-laws come with Raisya, so they'll both be busy talking instead of busy commenting on everything about her and about her son.

"The mother should not be lazy either. Take Alvin for a walk, train in the grass so there's stimulation to his feet." The scolding continued to sound throughout the woman's visit.

And this time, I don't know what else her mother-in-law will say about birthdays held at work, not at home alone let alone in the building as suggested.

"Are you ready?" asked Vino who came to the room to check on the preparation of his wife and son.

Olivia puts on a smile that is .. bland. Since the day she received the reprimand for not giving her mother-in-law permission to carry Alvin, Olivia had not spoken much to her husband. He doesn't want to cause a fight.

Enough power is up to take care of Alvin who is active. He no longer had the energy to argue with his father Alvin.

"Yes." Yeah." Olivia picks up Alvin who is still left in the box as long as she prepares.

"Here I am." Vino takes over Alvin from Olivia's sling.

Olivia wants to refuse, but she undoes it when Vino moves quickly to take over the boy.

The three of them set off for the event that was ready.

Arriving at the location, the employees are ready to welcome him. The decoration of the room that Olivia prepared with employees looked beautiful and crowded.

Not long after, the Vino family arrived. His mother who first congratulated him, then followed by his father and sister.

They take pictures, cut cakes and sing together. Cheers filled the room. A happy aura was very clearly emanated from every face that came.

While being cleaned up, Olivia looks for the whereabouts of Vino who is not visible. He also left Alvin to one of the employees because he could not bear to go to the bathroom.

Olivia left Alvin with great care and the message was that don't let Alvin down. "Just pick it up, the Alvin."

Olivia went into the bathroom. When he finished throwing away, he rushed back to the event. However, the person Alvin entrusted was nowhere to be seen. Olivia's looking for Vino's whereabouts.

Apparently Vino was talking seriously with Raisya. I do not know when Vino's sister came again after coming home with her parents. Wanted to ask, but his mind was on Alvin who was not also visible.

In fact, there were only a few people left at the event. The invitees and other employees have already gone home. Only stay who took care of the venue after the party.

Olivia came out of the building, how surprised she was when she saw the employee whom Alvin entrusted was not with the boy.

"Where is Alvin?" ask Olivia to panic.

"Same as Father, Mom. I was told to buy this." The employee showed the plastic bag in hand.

Olivia was getting panicked and worried. Because, he had not seen Vino bring Alvin. The man was busy chatting with Raisya.

"Alvin!" olivia broke the focus of the people there.

Olivia ran out. Ignoring Vino's call to him.

"Darling, what's wrong?" Vino runs quickly after Olivia who looks very chaotic.

Olivia's tears are pouring out. Eventually, he saw a boy crawling on the side of the road.

"Alvin!"

Be late. An oncoming motorcycle blurs Olivia's view in the dark. He fainted to see with his own eyes his son was bounced hit by the motorcycle.

Alvin's first birthday is Olivia's saddest day.
