Happy Birthday to you, Arnold


Today is the birthday of little Arnold. Just today, Arnold's age increased by one to five years. This year also Arnold will enter Kindergarten school as he wishes. Arnold's day will be celebrated by all family members, neighbors, and also some orphans in accordance with the wishes of the boy.


"Mother, papa... Arnold wants to invite the friends at the Orphanage for tomorrow's birthday. Don't forget after that we share gifts to street children" Arnold said with a plea that night.


Of course Nadia and Andre agreed to his son's wish because what Arnold wanted was a kindness. I don't know what the child's heart is made of to remember his friends who are not as lucky as him. But as parents of course Nadia and Andre are so happy about the development of Arnold which makes his three brothers also much more sensitive to the surrounding.

"Remember, if you give me a gift Arnold do not buy using money. You have to be frugal, do not bother the rich children continue to buy anything with money" Arnold recalled.


Arnold who was sitting in the family room with his three brothers immediately warned them about what kind of gift to give. Because now the three are discussing what gifts will be given to their brothers. A gift that was no longer a surprise for Arnold, the article they discussed near the boy sat down.


"If you don't use money, continue to use what dong?" gerutu Anara looked towards Arnold.


"Wear this, you have to be creative" said Arnold in his style.


He even pointed at his temple using his index finger so that his three brothers understood. After hearing the reply from Arnold, the three lowered their heads in lethargy. Because their brains are lazy to think about creative things.


"Don't be lazy to think. Still young really lazy" he continued insinuating his three brothers.


Although Alan did not understand what Arnold said but saw the lethargic face of his two older sisters of course he already felt that there was something wrong. Anara and Abel stand up and take Alan out of the house for inspiration.


Arnold who was left alone in the family room could only sigh. Everyone is busy preparing for his birthday event later in the afternoon making him unable to freely make a tantrum. Finally he could only lay down his body in the living room sofa.


"It's Arnold. He was handsome, rich, funny, cute, loved, and had a girlfriend again. But alas, Arnold's girlfriend is out of nowhere" he muttered, then asleep in his sleep.

His afternoon...


All the families, neighbors, and some orphans from the Orphanage were already in the Farda Family home. The anniversary event began with the recitation and recitation of the holy verses of the Qur'an. Arnold, Anara, and Abel who have learned to teach also dissolve in the chanting of the holy verse although it is still not too smooth. After the first event was over, Arnold and his parents were in front of a birthday cake that had been blown by candles.


"For cake... For the cake." exclaimed Anara and Abel together.


Everyone just clapped their hands together happily. Even Arnold was helped by his mother directly slicing the cake and then distributing it to all her friends. Arnold was so happy because his birthday this time could be celebrated with such a heartwarming atmosphere.


"Thank you papa, mother... What Arnold wants" Arnold said with teary eyes.


Nadia and Andre were so stunned to see her son staring at both parents with teary eyes. Just this time Arnold looks so moved like this because they usually see the little boy's eyes will cry when they are sad.


Although Arnold often pranks himself but he is very dear to his son. Because of that little boy, the atmosphere of the house became more colorful. Everyone clapped their hands at the scene of the hug.


Finally all mingled with each other even Arnold and his three brothers also immediately invited them to play behind the house. They run chases even while playing hide and seek.


At half 5, the show is over. All the invited guests have gone home with gifts and envelopes. Many times the Orphanage children thank you for being welcomed warmly here.


"Let's go papa." exclaimed Arnold who had brought the envelopes to be distributed to street children.


This time only Andre and Arnold will leave because they are sharing the task of cleaning the house. Arnold and Andre entered the car and drove to the underpass.


Before long, there were a lot of street children who were playing and sitting in front of cardboard houses. The two of them immediately got off after successfully searching for a safe car park.


"Excuse me, I'm Arnold. I want to give you a little fortune from my father and my mother" Arnold said with a cheerful smile.


Just contact the children who feel spoken to also stop their activities. They immediately swarmed Arnold and Andre with sparkling eyes. Arnold immediately handed out an envelope to each of them one after Andre managed to get everything in order.


"Thank you very much" they exclaimed in unison.


They decided to call Arnold "fuck" because among all things Arnold was the smallest there. After finishing with them, Arnold and Andre go back around to find a cardboard house with one boy his age.


"Why don't you go with the friends over there?" arnold asked closer to the boy.


"And you have to take care of the sick mother. Later if you play, you can not know you need anything" said the little boy named Ando with his innocent look.


Arnold bows his head inside the cardboard house. Indeed there was a mother with one of her swollen legs lying down and closed her eyes.


"Papa, take the mother to the hospital" Arnold told Andre with a plea.


Andre certainly also felt sorry to see the condition of the child and also his mother, because the neighbors there also look ordinary when they see someone who is sick. Andre immediately carried the mother slowly out of the cardboard house.


"Where am I going to take my mom?" ask Ando.


"We're going to the hospital. Your mother must be treated so that her legs do not hurt anymore" replied Arnold who then took Ando's hand.


Some residents there saw the departure of Andre, Arnold, Ando, and his mother without anyone intending to ask for help. But Andre did not care at all about the stares that made him uncomfortable, the most important thing for him was to immediately help his mother Ando.


Andre put the mother in the back seat with Ando by holding his mother's head. Arnold got into the car next to his father who was driving. The car sped up at an above average speed because Andre felt something was off with the mother.
