Turns out We're Stupid

Birthday Preparation

They were gathered in the house of Mother and Papa. Lia, Viona, Mother, and Papa. Like a very happy little family. A small talk accompanied by laughter.

Earlier, after hearing Farel's words about his feelings. And also, must go back to grieving and heartache knowing Farrel still loves the woman. Lia left after a few minutes of disappointment.

He got up, and went straight from there in a taxi. The girl went to her parents' house. He called Viona to come there.

" Em Pa, Bun Lia wants to talk" Lia started a serious conversation after they had a light conversation.

" What's son by the way?" Ask Mother who is curious because her son rarely speaks seriously like this.

" You got a problem? Same story we are" said Papa softly.

Lia smiled, He shook his head. " Not "The answer is short. He made both his parents curious.

" Mother's birthday next week, right? Well, I want to celebrate the success of my restaurant. So, why should Mother appear to the public? Because later there will be journalists as well as all my clients" explained Lia in the hope that her parents agreed. Because Lia, I really want the world to know who her parents are.

" Gausah deh Li, if you want to make a celebration, do not equate to the birthday of Mother" reject Mother directly. He does not want to appear in public.

" Lia, we don't want to show up to the public. Let it be, everyone doesn't know your parents" Papa knows Lia's true intentions. Obviously he knew, the look on his son's face was very similar to his wife when pleading with a little lie.

" Em I went to the bathroom first huh" Viona immediately left after saying that. The girl wanted to give them a private.

No one paid attention to Viona. They are drowning in each other's minds.

" Tell me the truth. What do you mean, what purpose, everything tell me" Pinta Papa was firm after their moments of silence.

Lia looked over, He nodded small. The girl started to tell her what it meant to hold this event.

" So Rainbow Restaurant was again at the peak of success. And because of that, everyone else found out about me as the owner of Rainbow Restaurant. Well, because that's also a lot of people want to know about my profile. Including, my parents. So, I don't want it later when Papa and Mommy come out suddenly someone knows if you are my parents. They even leaked it to the public. Like that, my name is ruined. My reputation is down. And bankruptcy is the result. Therefore, I want to recognize Papa and Mother to the public so that there is no problem. " It was clear Lia had nothing to hide.

Papa and Mommy are silent. They digest all of Lia's words.

" I'm sorry if I was selfish. If Papa and Mommy object, it's okay' "Lia lowered her head, she feels selfish. Because of his interests, his parents were not comfortable.

The middle-aged man named Mahendra looked at his wife. Honestly, he doesn't like to appear in the public as anything. He is happy to live like this without anyone knowing. However, he also had to think about his daughter. The restaurant that had been built for five years by his daughter, there was no way he destroyed it by not appearing to the public and instead becoming news splash.

Mahendra sighed heavily, It's hard. He must think between himself and his son. If asked to choose, Mahendra's class chose his son. But the problem is that he doesn't want anyone else to know about his family.

" I'm sorry, no problem if Papa same Mother does not want. I understand "Lia's bowing her head feeling guilty.

" We have not yet answered" Papa spoke up when he saw his son who looked guilty and disappointed.

Lia looked up, She smiled faintly.

" Daughter, if that's all for your restaurant. Mother wants "Reply Mother sure.

Lia smiled, She was so grateful to be given such an understanding parent.

" Lia, just this time. It's not that papa won't help you. But you're old if you don't like to appear in the public. But this time, papa wants to. Only this time" Papa spoke softly and calmly.

" Thank you" Lia hugged her parents. He's very happy. Not just because his parents agreed to his plan. But also because both of his parents are understanding to him.

Lia was sitting in her room. He'll stay here for a few days. And Viona, the girl approved of her. Lia recalled the incident. He remembers everything clearly.

Lia smiled faintly, as she recalled the times when Farrel had told her love. Moreover, when the man was about to go and say I love you to him. Very romantic.

But the smile faded as he remembered Farrel's words being cut off.

His heart is sick again. It felt like his chest was tight considering the man he loved was saying love to another woman. So hurt.

Lia wiped away the tears that she had unknowingly fallen soaked her smooth cheeks.

Lia closed her eyes for a moment, she then shook her head. The girl fixed her pillow and blanket. Then, Lia got into the blanket and started sleeping.

The next day, they were gathered in the living room after breakfast. Today Lia decided not to work. The girl just asked Viona to handle everything.

" Papa agrees. Most importantly all is safe" Papa nodded while drinking his coffee.

" Mother too" said Mother from the kitchen carrying a box containing snacks.

" Okay, I'll try and there won't be any problems. And for journalists, they're not going to be the same. I guarantee it" Lia smiled as she picked up the snack that Mother brought.

" Papa's Company included?" Ask Papa seriously.

Lia fell silent, He slowly nodded. Only he and his wife know this.

" Papa don't want to know until someone knows papa" said papa very seriously.

" Hopefully not. But I'm sure there isn't. Because, Papa is mysterious" replied Lia sure.

" Yes, I'm sure no one knows who you are" said Mother gently stroked her husband's arm.

Mahendra smiled looking at his beloved wife. A happy and difficult wife is always with him. Even until it's like this. Be very successful. Only his wife and children know.

The days passed, preparation for preparation was done by Lia. He doesn't want any mistakes that will make the news splash. The girl was busy with this.

Viona is affected, the girl goes to the restaurant every day and handles all of Lia's work. But never once did he complain. He felt this was his duty, and he had to accept it with a spacious chest. Such is Viona, the girl who always thinks positive and mature.

Tomorrow is Mother's Birthday, and Lia becomes very busy preparing everything. Today, everything is ready. Lia just had to go back and check everything.

The girl was sitting limp on the sofa. He was very tired after a whole day of checking. The girl laid her body on the sofa with her legs placed on the table.

Mother shook her head to see the behavior of her child. The middle-aged woman sat on the sofa beside him.

" Bun, sorry, not polite. Lia was tired" Lia said with her eyes closed.

Mommy laughed a little, "Hmm" replied the mother briefly.

The girl suddenly sat down while remembering something. He looked at his mother who was looking at him.

" I just inget. Mother's clothes with Papa earlier I put in Papa's workspace. Papa was there, so I put him there"

Mother nodded, "That's a couple shirt?" Ask someone who already knows the answer. Just just asking.

Lia nodded, "Lia, Viona, Lily are also the same clothes" The girl smiled happily.

Mother nodded, "Lily Uda here?" Ask Mommy.

Lia shook her head, "Say the hell it'll be a new night. You see Dave has a lot of work" answered Lia recalled last night he told Lily and Dave.

" O you already, Mommy wants to go to your Papa's office. You rest "Mother immediately go after saying that.

Lia put her body back on the sofa. Look at the ceiling of the room. His mind was confused again.

He didn't invite Farrell, was that the right decision? Lia's confused. Because of the incident at that time, his relationship with Farrel strained. They never met again.

Lia shook her head, He didn't have to invite Farrel. His parents did not know the man. If Farrel had not expressed his feelings at that time, then Lia could have considered his decision.

Lia shook her head, She doesn't want to think about it. Lia changed her mind by making sure there was nothing wrong in tomorrow's event.

Lia had already invited all the clients she had worked with. Lia also invited the reporters he had paid not to ask personal questions.

If it's family, it's his parents who take care of him. He doesn't have to think about it. Papa and Mommy must have invited a large family.
