Ilana sat in the living room as usual she would watch cartoons while working on PR.
"Ilana mama's home."
"Place"
"Hey.hey.hei..umm again watching cartoons. Mama was ignored." Marcella kissed her daughter's cheek.
"Is dinner not yet ?"
"Yet, grandma's still cooking."
Marcella stuck a strawberry milk bottle on Ilana's cheek when the boy finally turned his head. Marcella chuckles.
"Ilana mommy bring strawberry milk. Mama get a straw first." Ilana nodded.
"You have PR every day."Marcella said seeing her son every day doing chores, Marcella did not know much about Ilana's school.
"Grandma said I should read a book even if there's no PR."
"In school many love Ilana right ?"
"Ilana doesn't need to be loved by friends. Ilana likes it in my mama's love."
"This kid is very good at talking. No one wants to be with you."
"We're good friends. Sometimes there are other people who like to talk when they are not there, said the grandmother ghibah so Ilana left. Ilana's sinning after all I can't be a bad friend."
"Good work, my dear."
"This is your picture ? Is this a bucket and a fruit ?"
"That's the story of buckets of fruits that are spilled."
"Who's a good picture of this. Value is 100"
"Uncle Alex. It's.ini.ini.ini.ini..ini all Uncle Alex who's drawing."referring to all the icons in the picture book.
Marcella smiled smugly and did not even know that the child could not draw. Mirisnya she as a mother does not pay attention to the growth and development of her child.
"I'm sorry, son. My mom rarely has time with you. My mom loves Ilana."
Like an adult he patted Marcella on the shoulder. "Don't worry ma. My school and writing equipment are expensive. I understand.
I'd rather not have time with my mom than I have to lose my strawberry shortcake collection, especially now that strawberry shortcakes are rare." Marcella chuckles.
"You really like your shortcake strawberry more than your mama."
"Yes, she's pretty in pink.pink. Strawberry shortcake is also beautiful friends are also beautiful. I'm beautiful."
"It's my son's big. Mama will work hard so you can have all your strawberry shortcake trinkets, baby."
"Who bought this hair tie. Real pretty. "
"grandmother. Grandma bought it." Marcella smile.

November 2nd is Ilana's 8th birthday.
"Happy birthday we say.happy long life we will pray.happy and happy..welcome long and happy.hore."
The three uncles and Grandma agreed to wear pink clothes and makeshift pink decorations for Ilana.
"Happy birthday, lovely Ilana."
"Your mom hasn't come yet. He'll be late."
"Grandma gapapa, we blow out the candles now I don't want the cake to get a candle later." Ayu nodded.
"Happy birthday, Grandma's granddaughter. Grandma's beloved. May you be smarter and smarter, be a good-natured and memorable child good for everyone.Kiss grandma first son."
The door opened violently it turned out that Aunt Ruby came with a breath of gasp.
"Huft I'm late. Sorry Ilana is beautiful, out of class Aunty's age hastily here. I've blown the candle yet."
"Udah is late" Reply Andrew.
"I'm sorry, honey. This is looking at Auntie's shoes off so that nyampe here is more flat."
"Gift, make Ilana where Auntie."
"There you are, but kiss the aunt dong princess." Ilana kissed Ruby's cheek.
"Look in the trunk of the car, this is the key to know how to open a aunt's car" Ilana nodded. The girl ran but was caught by Alex.
"Eits cut the cake first baby. Come on wait for this"
"Special mom escapes him" chirped Andrew.
"If it has been strawberry shortcake all." Ayu added.
"Yeyy thank you Aunt" Ilana hugged Ruby tightly.
"Where's Marcella ?"Ayu doesn't know. "When his daughter's birthday is on the phone."
"Not answered, maybe he's meeting."
"Mas Akmal ?" Ask Muhammad.
The six people took pictures together.
"Happy birthday Ilana" they said simultaneously.
Ilana smiled at how many people loved her and she was grateful.
Marcella glanced at the clock. The body is in the meeting room but the mind is only for the child.
"Ilana I'm sorry, mommy, baby." she said slowly.
Marcella was forced to go out of town on her son's birthday because a client asked for a wedding dress. This client was a public figure he also ordered for 30 outfits for the family and Bridesmaids brides-to-be.
"I'm going home now. Please book a ticket for me." said Marcella in her right hand.
Marcella who was in front turned her body. Two officers suddenly withdrew.
"You're still here gapapa."
"We'll also go home to follow the madam."
Marcella hurriedly contacted the subscription cake shop before returning.
"Hallo it's Marcella."
"............."
"Yes, I want a package of learning tools, please wrap it beautifully. Ahh please try to wrap the gift should be pink. I'll be there in two hours."
"Madamma the plane is ready to go." Marcella nodded.
Marcella stepped quickly towards the plane.
"Please transfer this account number."
Intan who was Marcella's right hand nodded. "Miss Ilana's birthday today deserves to go home soon. Thank goodness the tickets are still there, indeed the fortune of the Madam."
"I don't want to miss my daughter's birthday. This is the first time I've ever celebrated. I'll go home even if it's got to be the rest of the skull."
"Miss Ilana likes what I'll buy ?"
"No need, don't bother."
"No bother, madam. I was Miss Ilana's best friend when she was just born until now. She gave me flowers when my birthday was picked up in my grandmother's garden and kept it wrapped in aqua bottles. I still keep it at home. Miss Ilana still likes strawberry shortcakes right ?"
"She likes it so much."
"alright. I know a suitable gift for Miss ilana "
Ilana slept soundly along with her bolster, pillow and strawberry shortcake blanket.
Marcella stepped on her feet and brought gifts and cakes for ilana.
"Ilana wakes up, baby mama's coming home."
"Eungh, mama"he looked in the eyes as Marcella brought her a birthday cake and a gift.
"Wake up first yuk mama bring the same cake for Ilana."
Marcella glanced towards the clock showing the number 23:30.
"Thank God it's not too late."
"Ga there's a candle of his ma,"
"Yes, my mom forgot, baby. Mom, please take it."
Ilana held Marcella's hand. "Not to ma. I blew out the candle this morning."
"But baby---"
"You don't have to."Ilana saw her mother's feet blistering maybe too long using heels.
"I'm sorry my mom just got home now."Ilana nodded in understanding.
"Liat mama bought Ilana a gift. Ta-da's not dong."
Ilana looked at a package of learning tools such as calculators, a digital English dictionary and a formula book.
"Thank you ma."Marcella hugged her daughter.
"My son is big. I didn't know my son was this big it felt like I just carried him yesterday. I just took you for a walk around the complex."
"I'm sorry dear mama often does not have the same time you, let you sleep in a pile of clothes, can not pick up Ilana school sorry, baby."
"Maa gapapa's. Ilana knows mama's making money for Ilana's school."
"I'm so lucky my son is beautiful inside and out. Oh God thank you for sending my son in my life."
"Mama is sleeping, son." Ilana nodded.
Marcella hugged her daughter. The mother looked at her beautiful daughter.
"Lucky for me, this child is getting more beautiful."Marcella kissed Ilana on the forehead.
After promising herself that she would be a good mother, Marcella learned. He never separated for a day from Ilana. Ilana is like his energy if Marcella tired all day work and then go home he will be happy to hear complaints, complaints, whining, this and that request of Ilana. The daughter he gave birth to never once made him disappointed and sad.
