Happy Birthday, Mother


The four little boys were in their rooms. The adults have entered their own rooms. They pretended to sleep then after both parents left just woke up and discussed. Now they are discussing their birthday tomorrow.


"What gift do we want tomorrow for our mother?" ask Abel.


"Arnold hasn't worked so he doesn't have any money. Loving gifts that do not use money and do not need to buy" said Arnold while thinking.


"No capital, deck. Wear your chicken piggy bank" Anara said.


"Woooo... Yes, Arnold forgot to have savings, but I want to love something from my hard work not from the savings of money given by mother and grandmother" said Arnold who returned to thinking.


Anara and Abel also let his sister think, after all Arnold's intelligence makes him not want to accept advice from oraglain. Advice from others is always considered no more than his idea. While Alan put his head on Arnold's thigh because he was actually sleepy.


"Alan, help me think dong. Don't sleep" Arnold said, pricking his sister's round cheek.


Even Alan had now yawned repeatedly and his eyes looked cute. The clock has shown at 10 pm which means this has exceeded his sleep time. Alan always brushed Arnold's index finger to stop bothering him. And before long, Alan had fallen asleep with his head in his brother's lap. Arnold breathed his breath after seeing his brother could not give an idea.


"I've got an idea" exclaimed Anara proudly.


"Me too" said Abel suddenly disputing his twin.


"What gift do you want to give to your mother?" ask Arnold curiously.


"Secret" said the two simultaneously.


Arnold who heard that could only let out his annoyed breath. His usually creative brain is now as if deadlocked because he thought of something that was very difficult according to him. The mother was too special to be given a mediocre gift. Though Nadia never asked for something difficult, enough family especially her children get along with each other is the most important thing.


Abel and Anara went to sleep after trying to discuss the gift to be given to Nadia. They leave Arnold still confused by falling asleep, following Alan who has entered the dreamland.


"Why can't anyone help Arnold to give you gift ideas? Everything is even in sleep. Ndak plend their, continue Arnold discussion the same who? Same time wall" grumbled Arnold.


Tired and sleepy, Arnold finally decided to sleep after his three other brothers. He has resigned to what will happen tomorrow, hopefully in the dream world will be able to find something special for his mother.

The next day was on Saturday, everyone was at home because it was the weekend of all work and school holidays. The four little boys who had discussed last night were still soundly asleep without being disturbed even though they had been awakened by their mother.


"Son, wake up yuk. It was this afternoon" Nadia said as she rubbed Arnold's head gently.


"10 hours away mother" elak Arnold who then turned his back to Nadia.


Nadia who heard the answer from Arnold could only gap wide. Moreover, the answer is really absurd because it means going to sleep for a day. Nadia is also confused with her children who are not usually awakened will be difficult like this.


"Where it's rich, son. It's 9 o'clock, let's get up, take a shower, keep eating breakfast" Nadia said.


Both of them just squirm and then change their sleeping position, this makes Nadia suspicious. Not long after Andre entered his children's room. He had been waiting for his wife and children but did not appear to make him decide to follow them.


"They haven't woken up yet?" ask Andre wonder.


"Yes, pa. Do not know also how difficult to build, even though last night his sleep was also on time right" said Nadia confused.


"If on the count of three you do not wake up, there is no walk this weekend" Andre suddenly threatened after hearing his wife's explanation.


All those who heard it woke up and straightened their bodies with their eyes closed. Andre and Nadia who saw it laughed because their behavior was so funny and compact.


"Happy birthday mother" cried the four at the same time then lay his body again on the mattress.


It turned out that those who were still half-conscious were upholding their bodies because they remembered that today was the birthday of their mother. This certainly makes Nadia so moved although initially will reprimand them because it is difficult to wake up. Andre immediately hugged his wife, even he himself forgot Nadia's birthday. But he was lucky that his son remembered him making his frustration disappear.


"Happy birthday, mother. I'm sorry you just remembered that today is the day of your birth. May long life, healthy always, and always be a light for our family" said Andre sincerely.


"Thank you papa" said Nadia with teary eyes.


Andre immediately hugged his wife tightly as well as Nadia. Nadia is really happy, even though there are no fancy cakes or surprises, but simple things like this make her touched and feel privileged.


"Woooo's... Hugs do not invite" exclaimed the four little boys who were on the mattress.


Actually, they had woken up but wanted to see the romance of both parents make him pretend he was still sleeping. Suddenly Nadia and Andre released a hug between the two and then stared probing at their four children.


"Gee... Now your children are smart to lie yes" said Andre with a probing look.


"Still telling us to lie for good, which is important to remember with your birthday" Arnold said.


Andre can only misbehave by scratching his nape that does not itch after getting innuendo from Arnold. This one child is very smart when replying to someone's words.


"But still you are wrong, there are lies for the good" said Andre did not accept.


"Weee... There you know, the goodness is that papa is lucky to be able to hug mother. Try if we wake up, surely we will not get you to make a hug" said Arnold by staring at his papa julid.


Mama Anisa chuckles softly seeing her husband can not answer the words of his son. Andre could only stroke his chest patiently watching his son speak cleverly. The four little boys just crawled towards Nadia and then hugged her simultaneously.


"I love you, mother" cried Arnold, Anara, and Abel together.


"Ndaaaaa.." exclaimed Alan who wanted to be like his three brothers.


Nadia hugged her four children with affection. She was so moved by what these four children did, even her eyes were teary.
