When the anniversary comes, what do you think?
When the day of birth comes, what prayer do you say?
Let happiness come near
And the power to sail the ocean of life is increasingly accompanying....

"Sister, let's get up..." Teak wagging shoulders Melati. His sister was squirming.
"Sister.. Come on. wake up, sister..." Again Teak wiggled Melati's shoulders.
Melati opened her eyes, rubbed her eyes and sat down. "Hey... What's up, Teak? What time is it? Why haven't you slept?"
Melati glanced at the wall of her room, 12 o'clock past. At midnight? "Daddy, it's already been a night. Let's go to sleep" said Melati.
Looked at Lily's bed, why isn't her sister in the room? Is sleeping in front of the TV again? Ah, last night Melati felt tired, so not 9 o'clock she was asleep. It seemed like days ago not being able to sleep because thinking about the matter of Elvan made him stumble.
"Why wake up Brother? Teak to pee? Do you want a drink?" said Melati. But Jati has been able to be alone all this time. Let it be night when he wakes up he never takes his brothers. He's in 6th grade now.
Teak is just a buzzing. "Follow yes, Brother. Follow me," said Jati.
"Why, anyway? You're not sick, are you?" ask Melati again.
"No," Jati said as she exited Melati's room. Melati followed him. He's headed to the middle room. The room looked dim and Melati's time was only three steps in the room...
"Happy Birthday....!!" The unison voice welcomed Melati. Melati was shocked.
Dad, mom, Lily, Damar, Teak, and... Elvan?! They sat on the floor, facing Melati with Lily carrying a beautiful chocolate and cheese tart cake.
"Thank you..." Melati's face instantly brightened, her eyes shining. I didn't expect to get a surprise like this. Jasmine advanced and sat in front of them. "Thank you... Could ya, make me cry..." Melati rubbed her eyes.
"Ga what... cry happy.." - Lily. Melati smile.
Mom moved next to Melati. "Before blowing out the candle, try saying first what hope you have? We will pray" said Sekar.
"Hmmm..." Melati looked at them one-on-one. "I wish Mom and Dad well, always get along well. Lily, Damar, and Jati, at school, became top students, and... Elvan.. quickly finished college..." Melati smile.
"Yes.. and then get married quickly." said Damar. Exploded laughter they heard that.
"It's a wish for others. What is your desire for you?" Gilang looked at his 21-year-old daughter.
"What, well...all is well, what do I need to ask for again?" said Melati. He's still thinking. "Yes.my goals are achieved. That's all."
"So this is not romantic. Pingin added to the same girlfriend, it's cake. adeehhh.." Lily said.
"Yes, even though this is us until the middle of the night because of Brother Elvan tuh, the provocateur," Damar nyahut.
"But it's exciting, brother. I'm glad to be up late, hee..." Teak is talking.
Elvan just smiles at the fanfare of the brothers.
"When did you blow out the candles, huh?" sekar. Again they laughed at hearing that. Melati blew out the candle in front of her. Then he prayed for himself, all his hopes, his future. Melati's heart was deeply moved.
Again, Elvan gave him a surprise for the umpteenth time. As if there is no end to the idea of making Melati feel so loved. How can he turn to another heart. If the love of Elvan had filled him even made him so happy.
They then enjoyed a birthday cake together. They also prepared drinks for them. Until almost 1 o'clock still talking.
"So what about today's event?" ask Gilang.
"Jam 7 we go so that it is not too late, Om. Later on location can be longer," replied Elvan.
"Then all must rest so that there is energy. Let's go to sleep now" Gilang told his children.
"Where are we going?" ask Melati. He listened to the conversation of Elvan and father, but did not understand the event discussed.
"Walk, to the beach." Damar answered.
"Yes, I'll swim there. Play sand, play ball. must be exciting..." Teak chiming.
"Eat him don't get tired. Let me be satisfied there. Come on, go to sleep," added Sekar.
Lily, Damar, and Teak entered the room. While mom and Melati are still clearing the middle space.
"Elvan can sleep in Damar's room. Still fit, really. They can be on the top. Elvan's in the lower bed" Gilang said.
"Yes, Om. Thank you," said Elvan. Say go in the room first. Scrub into the kitchen put the glass and store the rest of the tarts.
Elvan approaches Melati. "Happy birthday, dear." Elvan kissed Melati. "Wish you all the best."
"Hee. It will have to drive later, do not get sleepy on the road," said Elvan.
"Hmmm..." Melati.
At 7, they could not leave. Because of night literacy, so a bit of a wake-up mole.
"Where, so not going? Uda early in the morning, yes, on molor.." said Farel. He was invited to the beach. At half 7 he had arrived at the Adinata house.
"Patience is said. patient people dear to God.." said Damar. He just finished changing. Teak followed behind.
"Sister Farel..." Teak smiled widely. "Later to play ball, yes, I am ready" said Jati.
"Oyi... is right.." replied Farel.
"Come, who is ready to get to the car," said Gilang.
Elvan has also prepared the vehicles they use. All right, just walk. One-on-one they get in the car and then the journey begins. Today they are going to Asmara Bay Beach in South Malang.
This tourist location is relatively newly opened. Along the long south coast there, it is lined with beautiful beaches that are fun to visit.
The journey takes about three hours. Along the way they joke, tell stories, sing, and flirt with each other. The children are excited because it is a bit long also do not picnic to the beach.
When looking at the beach with small islands in the distance, so beautiful, the children ran straight into the water. Lily, Damar, Teak, and Farel were like chickens out of cages scattered everywhere! Melati, Elvan, Gilang and Sekar just laughed watching the children.
Melati is happy to see her father and mother can enjoy the joy together. Years of struggle they raised him and the younger siblings began to chalk up results. Melati has arrived at the end of her S1 education. Lily entered the third semester at her campus, Damar High School 12th grade, Jati again little Junior High School. They tirelessly tried everything in their power so that he and his sisters could get a decent life, a good education, and always smiled because there was full affection from them.
Smile Melati they see dad teasing mom. And she looked embarrassed next to him. They sat holding a mat under a shady tree not far from the beach. The hardships and weight of life actually make the love between father and mother bigger and smoldering in their hearts. Melati is proud to feel all that.
"Road, yukkk, we make our own exclamations" said Elvan, making Melati turn to him.
"To the beach?" said Melati.
"Yaa. instead of seeing Daddy's mommy-friendly I'm just dumbass. Come on, we're also friendly, hee..." Elvan giggles.
Melati smiled widely. He stood up and held Elvan's hand. "Well, we'll take a lot of pictures."
Both are walking towards the beach. They look for good spots to take pictures. Beautiful scenery makes the spirit of capturing it. After being satisfied, they approached his sisters who were still busy playing sand and water. They took pictures together.
"Yuhuuu... raise your hands!!" exclaim Lily. They follow Lily's orders. "Now lift the left leg..." Everybody tag along. "Well, count of three jumps, yeah.... One. two.. three..." They jump together.
Then running around storming Elvan wanting to see the results of their style on camera.
"Ahh, face... Why only half?" jati.
"Your feet are so high, Rails." said Damar.
"Yes, Lily, how come you're even behind!" Farel did not want to lose follow the comments.
"Ihh, this one is best, nih.. post, yes. post..." Jasmine also posts photos fitting they jump together on his IG. He wrote the caption 'the happiness is when you see your loved people smile beside you...'
"Pair our new photo dong. It's from the era when it hasn't changed, either, yes." said Elvan noticed IG Melati.
"That's a cool photo, anyway..." Melati stared at the photo of the two of them in IG profile.
"Replace, which we photographed earlier," said Elvan. "Here, I choose."
Elvan select photos in Melati gallery. He smiled and took a photo. He changed his profile with that photo. The photo of them adjacent to Elvan slightly lowered his gaze towards Melati, while Melati looked up at him with her mouth slightly open.
"Where to look?" Melati took the HP in Elvan's hands. "Ihh... What is this? I want to delete that photo." Jasmine pouting.
"Udah, that's good. Watch out for replacements." Elvan laughs.
"Elvan, it's like I'm staring at a man full of admiration fascinated to the point of urgency." Melati getting whimpery.
Elvan is getting worse. "Emang I am enchanting.. haaa.. haaa. that's why you fell in love with me.. haa... haa..."
"German..." Jasmine the manyun and pinch Elvan's waist. Elvan screamed in pain.
He also ran away. Melati. Despite trying hard Melati still can not catch Elvan. Elvan turns around and captures Melati. Both are sitting on the beach.
"Thank you for today" Melati said. He looked at Elvan who was staring straight at the end of the blue sea.
"Hmmm..." Elvan. "Happy Birthday, my Flower of Love... Love you, so much...." Elvan's smile expanded on those nice lips.
"Love you too, El..." Melati.
Elvan grabbed Melati's shoulder, hugged her from behind. They both stared at the vast, beautiful sea. At the end of the clear sky with clouds adds all the more amazing.
