That afternoon party looks like it's going to go well. Elaine's mood improves, first due to the attention and love letter (Elaine considers it a love letter) from Ellio and secondly due to the happy news of her recovery from the results of the hospital lab tests.
The living room of the Elaine house and the garden front and left side areas have been transformed into indoor and outdoor party areas. Buffet tables decorated with beautiful balloons lined, already filled with dishes that are very appetizing. A small stage was prepared with beautiful balloons of metallic pink and silver. A three-storied birthday cake is available on the stage table.
One by one, Elaine's friends began to arrive. They congratulated Elaine and brought gifts, big and small, all stacked on a table beside the stage.
Michelle and Oliver were at the party. They came together, immediately hugged Elaine tightly, peeked at her cheek and wished her a rather naggy birthday. Understand, close friend.
“Hopefully can be handsome in this year.” Seloroh Michelle's. Elaine laughed at Michelle's prayer.
“Amiinnn...” Michelle's prayer was even guaranteed by Oliver. Elaine immediately clapped the arm of her closest friend.
“Ouch! Broken bones! You have to take responsibility, marry me!” Jerit Oliver while pursing his lips. Elaine and Michelle were stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.
“Amit-amit must marry your kayak squid! Go to the kitchen, find some uncooked catfish, who knows she wants to be your wife!” Reply Elaine, making Michelle and Oliver laugh out loud.
At the main entrance came a couple and a boy about sixteen years old. They walked over to Papa Dylan and Mama Angel who were talking to the doctor who treated Elaine all along.
“Rosa!” Mama Angel's smile welcomes her guests. He hugged his female guests and greeted his male guests.
“Halo Hans, how are you?” Papa Dylan greeted his male guest, then shook his hand. After that Papa Dylan greeted his female guest who was called Rosa by Mama Angel.
Only then did Papa Dylan and Mama Angel notice the boy who came with Hans and Angel.
Hans and Rosa are friends with Dylan and Angel. The friendship between Rosa and Angel is intertwined since they were High School. After they marry each other, Rosa moves to another city following her husband, Hans, who is just starting her business. Currently, Hans and Rosa are pioneering a branch office in Jakarta, so for a while they will be staying in Jakarta.
“This Edward?” Greet Mama Angel to the boy. The boy smiled and nodded politely.
“Halo, Aunt, I'm Edward.” He said, nodding his head a little.
“Wah, you're already big huh. How handsome!” Praise Mama Angel amazed, Edward just smiled in response.
“Yes, this is Edward. This is the first time you've met Edward, isn't it? At that time you only received news of my pregnancy.” Mama Rosa said with a smile.
“Yes, we're pregnant together, so can't visit each other at that time. Hm, for a minute, Auntie introduce you to Elaine huh?” Mama Angel turned her head to look for Elaine. “Ah, that's it. Come on, Auntie introduce you.” Connect Mama Angel again while holding Edward.
They walked towards Elaine who was still joking with Michelle and Oliver.
Michelle's observant eyes immediately caught Edward's figure. He immediately elbowed Elaine and whispered, “Len, look at Len. Bull, Len.” Said Michelle slowly while still sticking her gaze at Edward.
Elaine turned her head, looking at Edward who was walking with Mama Angel to approach her. Their eyes meet.
“Elaine, meet this Edward. Edward's Aunt Rosa's son Mama's friend, he's the same age as you. You guys are friends?” Said Mama Angel.
Edward smiled kindly, then thrust his hand at Elaine. “Edward.” Her deep voice enchanted Michelle. The girl looked up with her mouth open.
“Elaine.” Elaine replied with a smile, welcoming Edward's hand. They shake hands.
“Happy birthday yes, always healthy and successful.” Edward continued, not letting go of his hand in Elaine's hand.
“Thank you.” Elaine said quietly as she let go of Edward's hand. Edward slightly lowered his eyes, looking at the hand that was released by Elaine. For some reason, he felt Elaine was not interested in him. He was very interested in Elaine. According to him, Elaine is beautiful.
“Include, these are my friends. This is Michelle,” Elaine said again as she waved at Michelle, “And this is Oliver. They're my best friends at school.” Elaine said again as she waved at Oliver.
“Halo.” Edward nodded his head kindly at Michelle and Oliver, who were only greeted by a nod of his head from Oliver. As for Michelle, she immediately bowed in shame with a face as red as a boiled crab looking at Edward's good looks. Edward chuckled at Michelle's response.
During the party, when Elaine is not required to be on stage, Elaine is more with Michelle, Oliver and Edward. Sometimes Elaine still imagined Ellio, regretting that Ellio could not be present at the party. For the first cookie for a boy friend and the first dance, Elaine inevitably gave it to Edward, because Mama Angel and Mama Rosa were noisily cheering the couple. Oliver, who was looking at it, bent his face and was laughed at by Michelle.
Elaine was very ashamed of Edward. Although Edward was friendly with her, they only knew each other today. But Edward was able to feed first and hold Elaine's hand at the dance. Elaine's friends whisper to each other to see Elaine and Edward, thinking they are lovers. Especially seeing Edward being so gentle to Elaine.
🌻🌻🌻
The party is over. Elaine was sitting in her room, not taking off her party dress.
Elaine pleaded with herself to rest on the grounds of being tired, while in the party room was being cleaned. The guests of Papa Dylan and Mama Angel, who are still there, have moved into the reading room. Among them are Om Hans, Aunt Rosa and Edward. Elaine deliberately reasoned tired to avoid Edward.
Tuk, tuk tuk! There was a knock on the glass door of Elaine's room. Elaine gasped at hearing that.
“Ellio!” Whisper, then he immediately ran towards the terrace and opened the door. Sure enough, Ellio stood on the terrace wearing a full suit, making him very handsome.
“Ellio!” Excited Elaine was happy, she immediately jumped into Ellio's arms.
“Happy birthday, Princess. How, are you happy today?” Ellio's whisper in Elaine's ear.
Elaine let go of his embrace and then moved her lips.
“Ga cool, no you.” Her eyes, made Ellio smile broadly at Elaine's tapered lips.
“Why?” Whisper Ellio again, he tidied Elaine's hair, tucked it behind Elaine's ear.
“I gave my first cake to someone else. Anyone with anyone else.” Elaine's voice shook, she felt the moment became less memorable for her because she did it with a stranger.
Ellio smiled, then he grabbed Elaine by the waist and hugged her. Ellio's body is taller than Elaine's, making Elaine's head lean against Ellio's chest. Ellio's shoulder width fits perfectly with Elaine's shoulder width. Elaine leaned comfortably against Ellio's chest.
Both of Ellio's hands were coiled around Elaine's slender waist, inviting her to dance. With the dim porch lights and the breezy sound of the wind as the music, they moved to and fro in the terrace area.
Elaine attached her hand to Ellio's shoulder. She occasionally looked into Ellio's eyes, but was more often bowed in embarrassment. Ellio smiled angrily, he brought his face closer and stole a few kisses on Elaine's cheek.
Elaine is getting embarrassed. Ellio stroked Elaine's left cheek with his left hand, making Elaine turn her face. Ellio kissed Elaine's right cheek several times.
“Ellio.” Elaine's sigh, can't take it anymore. His heart was pounding so hard it felt in his ears.
Ellio smiled and stopped kissing Elaine.
“That's your card, dear, hope you like.” His whisper. Elaine shook her head, trying to regain her consciousness again.
“I have a cake for you.” Said Elaine slowly, breaking away from Ellio's embrace. It can be dangerous if it continues, he murmured, my heart can jump out.
Elaine immediately runs into her room, picking up a box of birthday cakes that she accidentally sets aside for Ellio.
When he came back out of his room, Elaine was stunned. A small white tent surrounded by small lights twinkled, already standing in the corner of his garden.
“Come!” Take Ellio, grab the hand of Elaine who was still dumbfounded to see the tent. Ellio led Elaine to approach the tent and sat down in front of the tent, on grass that had been covered by a carpet.
“Which mine?” Ellio asked, resuscitating Elaine who was still amazed.
“This,” he said while thrusting the cake to Ellio.
“Where's the bribe?” Ellio asked, teasing Elaine.
Elaine smiled, she took the cake with her finger and fed it to Ellio. When the mouthful ran out, Ellio nodded his head while glancing towards the cake again.
“Add?” Elaine asked with a smile. Ellio nodded again while chewing.
Hap! Ellio again ate the piece of cake from Elaine's hand. Hap! Hap! One more bribe, another, then another, until finally the cake was not left.
Elaine laughed, creamy cake stuck around Ellio's lips. Elaine cleans the cream with her clean hands. But before Elaine could stand up to wash her hands, Ellio immediately caught Elaine's hand, licking her fingers one by one to clean from the cream of the cake.
“Ellio!” Elaine was dumbfounded again when Ellio cleaned her licked fingers, this time with tissue.
“Thank you yes.” Ellio said with a smile again. He stroked the hand of Elaine that was still in his grasp.
“You're not disappointed anymore, are you? We've danced under the moonlight and the breeze. I've also eaten your feed cake.” Ellio said softly.
Elaine shook her head with a sweet smile.
“Ayo.” Ellio again clasped Elaine's hand, leading her into the tent.
They lay in tents. Elaine lay on Ellio's arm. The two of them stared at the clear white ceiling of the tent, revealing a flicker of stars in the sky.
“How was your day today? Tell me.” Ellio Pinta.
And there flowed a story from Elaine about that day. Regarding the pleasure of receiving sunflowers from Ellio, thankfully he received the news of his recovery, about his birthday party today, even about Edward was told.
“He's handsome?” Ask Ellio.
“Who? Edward's? Yes, he's handsome. Michelle seems to like her.” Elaine giggled, recalling how fond Michelle's face was whenever Edward greeted her or looked at her.
“If you? Do you like?” Ellio asked while looking over, looking at Elaine's face.
Elaine shook her head. “For me, he's a stranger. Just plain.” Elaine was honest.
Ellio grunting.
“Awas. Now say it's normal, tomorrow say it's amazing.” His grunt.
Elaine turned her face, looking at Ellio with a laugh. “You're jealous?” Her laugh. “Oh yes, one more. Mama said, Edward's going to transfer to my school. Maybe we'll be classmate.” Follow Elaine with a smile teasing Ellio.
Ellio threw away his face and returned snorting. “Huh!” Grunt's bad. “Awas you, if until I'm forgotten, I won't come again.”
“Ellio! Don't threaten me!” Elaine pinches Ellio's waist.
“Ouch! Ow hell! Forgive me!” Ellio chuckled as he moved to avoid Elaine's pinch. When the opportunity arose, Ellio tickled Elaine's waist.
“Okay, ouch! Ellio, stop!” Elaine chuckled, this time she who moved avoided Ellio's wily. They both laughed until Ellio finally grabbed Elaine's head and held her in his chest.
“Remember Princess, just never forget me. I won't accept if you're busy with that guy and ignore me. You understand?” Whisper in Elaine's ear.
Elaine nodded while enjoying Ellio's heartbeat sounding in her ears. He enjoyed the warmth of Ellio's embrace, especially comfortable plus Ellio stroking his hair and back. Unknowingly, Elaine falls asleep in Ellio's arms, in a tent under the stars.
