This Is Not What I Want

The Most Beautiful Gift for me...

"Riri.,." whisper mama's voice in the ear gave my body goosebumps. "Hmmm yes, mah.." Hoaaaam is still heavy eyes, but the intention to pray put everything to God.

Since Papa had to work far away in the big city D, to finance us all. We have to be willing to part with Papa. Papa is my idol, full of responsibility, although he never spoiled me, papa always said many men today are burdened, as husband and parents, as well, but if it is returned to the promise of God, where men always get more fortune from women, then believe the treasure can be sought, but the affection of a family is not easily sought. May one day find a husband like Papa, who will work hard to support and make his wife and children happy, aamiin. Since then I often accompany mama to wake up at night, and mama also taught to do night prayers.

When the problem has piled up no more solutions, night prayer, that's your message. Prayers and wishes I said, I kissed the back of his right hand, uh I got another kiss on the forehead. "Muach, happy birthday, may you be healthy and happy always, may you aspire to achieve." We simultaneously pronounce aamiin. My mom was always the first to say it.

"Thank you Mah." I said as I hugged her, "Mama is also healthy, papa too, everyone is too, sorry Riri is still a lot wrong and can not be happyin Mama and Papa." I don't feel these tears coming. "Have a hand to help my mom in the kitchen." Yes, that is my days. I'm used to housewives, looking after my sister and niece, making me not like a teenage girl who can have fun outside, walking with friends to the mall, fun with a boyfriend. None of that ever happened to me.

But seeing your smile, being able to be with you in good health, accompanying and nurturing your sister and niece at home, makes me feel important, feel needed and happy. I can meet with Rumi as well as Lina, as well as Arya at school, exchanging stories, if mom allows me to also be able to visit their home. But not with Arya house of course🤭. That's enough for me. We may not be able to walk to the mall, but we can go home from school together, and enjoy ice skating or batagor in the canteen.

Oh yeah there's still one more person I haven't introduced to in you guys, I have one more girl friend named Tina, we've also been friends since Junior High, but the funny thing is in High School he's the only one with a different class to the four of us. This makes it difficult for us to meet, and Tina is always a manyun if we feel we forget her 🤭🤭🤭.

"Hopefully at school no one remembers what day this is," my inner self as I entered the school gate, walked down the 1st class corridor, "May not meet with Erdian," and safely the class was still quiet. Until my beloved class, "Ah even though sometimes school lessons make me want to give up, but if you remember to be able to work for money is difficult, yes you want to not have to try, spirit!" my words encourage myself mumpung deserted.

"For Rumi, Lina, I miss you!" I hugged them one by one. "Where's brother from?" answer Lina. "From the first Lin, it was only your brother who was so every time he met. I guess yesterday I didn't see you." added Rumi while cleaning the class. I smiled, "You understand me the most." Hopefully the other friends also behave like this and forget that today is my birthday. My prayer in my heart.

School went safely smoothly jaya, hihihi. until the second break arrived, I distributed chocolate candy to friends. "Pardon friends can only share this for you, I hope you like it. If all this time I have been wrong to apologize inner birth yes." my speech in front of the class surprised all of them.

Andika, our class president came forward and shook my hand, "Riri, actually we remember today, your birthday, but as we know, you don't like to be celebrated like us, we do, so we can only pray for you. I represent my friends wish you a happy birthday and a healthy and long life, come on guys," "Aamiin" I don't feel moved. "Thank you friend" I smiled at all of them and shared the candy.

Thankfully, nothing strange today. Not even Erdian bothered. It was time to go home, "Wait for Ri," Arya pulled my hand. "Just don't go home yet" and Arya, Rumi and Lina, each gave me a gift. "Ah my best friend what is this?" I'm so happy, even if I don't know what the card is. "Relvin....Riri..this is also a gift from me. Suddenly Tina came and immediately hugged me." With breath still wheezing, because running from his class chasing time afraid I'm home.

I hug Tina, "I love you, Tina." Tina did not answer but she hugged me tighter. "Let's go out together, today we can not get together yet which is important our hearts are always together. Thanks to all." The smiles on our lips all five went hand in hand, a time not long but moments like these that we will miss.
