At exactly 12 p.m., Ryan's four great-grandchildren arrived with the father. They brought a very large, five-level birthday cake with Ryan's dominant favorite blue color. There was a boy doll resembling her. The art has transformed the bottom room into a kind of ballroom of a party. Maya also turned out to come to the party with a unique homemade tart cake, one level but the diameter is quite large about 40 centimeters. Eyang had prepared a gift in the form of money bouquet in a bubble balloon.
“Ryan wake! Happy birthday!”
A hand with a smooth finger had shaken his shoulder as he fell asleep in the lap of the eye uti. Ryan slowly opened his eyelids which felt very heavy to open.
“Maya? How can I come night-night?”asked Ryan in astonishment.
The girl looked back and gave the code.
“Papa who picked you up?”
Maya just nodded while laughing. The girl was wearing a pink dress with unraveled hair, looking very pretty that night.
Ryan screamed so happy, when he saw him at the door stood the father and his four other great-grandchildren.
“Ah...You cheats don't tell me!”ryan pretended to be angry.
All laughing out loud, they sang a happy birthday song and led Ryan down to the first floor while continuing his singing.
“Come cut the cake!”maya said while giving a knife to Ryan's hand.
“First cut for papa,both make eyed, great-grandfather and yourself,”Mayan orders.
But Ryan gave a second piece to Maya with the reason that later he will accompany his old age later.
The great-grandparents understood and laughed cheerfully. They are happy to see their great-grandchildren grow up and get closer to the DNA of a human being.
They danced and sang without a host. Everything just flowed, and the seven-tiered birthday cake, all original cake, ran out in an instant when all the art and papa drivers enjoyed it that night. There is no dish other than birthday cake, but Ryan is very happy to be surrounded by people who love him.
Maya looks very sleepy when she says goodbye,”I'm back first, Ryan. Papa the anterin.”
Ryan hugged him, then hugged his great-grandfather who also said goodbye. Art also re-cleansed the room so that it becomes clean as usual.
Now in the room was only her and eyang uti left.
“Udah passed from 12pm. Please eyang story.”
“You're not sleepy?”
“So it's been sleeping in the lap of the eye. Don't-don't drowsy eyesang.”
“Eyang has taken a nap.”
Eyang uti took a sitting position right in front of Ryan, his thin hands seemed to pull the phone out of his pajama pocket and showed the grandson.
“You see this. This is Anneth, Annisa's twin sister, your mother.”
Ryan was flabbergasted and his body stiffly imprinted on the sofa chair he was sitting on. Seraut a beautiful face that looks a lot like mama in the photo that always kept papa all this time. And that face was like the one he had seen at school.
“Like mom schoolmate Ryan,the.”
“Mama Alisha do you mean?”
“That's eyang's grandson too? Ja's..So all this time I didn't know that badass girl was my cousin?”ryan murmured while dumbstruck.
The world to him felt so strange, so many miracles and unexpected events.
“Why haven't you ever told Ryan? Isn't Alisha often welcome to Malang?”
“What's up,Yang?”
“Eyang uti made an agreement with the occult world. Eyang deigns to marry him with other natural creatures even to be given a long life,”thut while shedding tears.
“Then why was he even adopted by someone else abroad?”
“Because of pain. According to our ancestors, the Javanese, should be separated far from their parents.”
“In fact mom died too while giving birth to Ryan,Yang.”
Eyang uti again shed tears, he wiped with the back of his hand and continued his story.
“Annisa died of a blood cancer that she had been craving for a long time.”
“So it's not because you married a vampire?”
Eyang uti shook his head, his hand grabbed Ryan's head in his arms.
“Your father is pure man,Le. The original vampire has long been extinct, of which there are only his descendants that have been mixed with human blood.”
“Iya. Ryan has heard from papa.”
“But why is new eyang now a story?”
“That's the mandate of the teacher kebatinan eyang. Must tell you after adulthood.Because at that time you start falling in love with humans and there is a pure vampire spirit that will not accept.”
“Who,Who?”
“Akasha. And the spirit according to the branch likes to go in and out into the body of Alisha, your cousin.”
“Hah? Then we have to how, Which?”
“Meruwat Alisha, so that his evil spirit comes out and no longer bothers.”
“But why use Alisha's body,Yang?”
“Because at first the boy didn't know you were brothers. And he loved you at first.”
“Aduh..”.
Ryan scratched his head so that his hair became a mess. He is not inexhaustible with the life path that he must experience.Never have the desire to be born as a descendant of vampires who are unruly and have excessive energy. Because of this, he was often expelled from his school and forced to find a new school.
“Tomorrow Sunday. After taking a trip to Annisa's grave behind the house, we went to Aunt Anneth and Alisha's house.”
Ryan nodded, but as soon as his body trembled and his palms were cold, he realized that the cemetery was behind his enormous and luxurious house.
“It is only fitting that my house stands alone on a hill,” muttered Ryan who felt his head throb.
The papa is not without reason to give a private residence for Ryan in front of the grave, therefore, the last request from the mother who does not want to be privileged and wants her body buried in the public cemetery and near her baby.
“Toh cemetery is the home of the dead who will not wake up again Bang,”rengek Annisa at the age of her seventh pregnancy at that time.
The beautiful woman seemed to realize her life would not be long. Robert realized that the blood cancer suffered by his wife should not dare to conceive, but Annisa really wanted to give offspring to her husband. Finally Robert dissolved in endless sadness until not strong life lingers in Ryan's house which always reminds him of the late his favorite wife.
“Give birth caesar or normal is the same, Bang. I'm gonna have a lot of bleeding. And the number of red blood cells in my body is always gnawed white blood cells. Finally sure to die,” whispered Annisa just before she was pushed with a cage by a nurse before a caesarean section.
Robert was only able to shed tears in the waiting room. His eyes were swollen and his nose reddened, his handkerchief filled with tears. His sadness was dashed after the sound of crying babies, a plump baby with a very handsome face, a blend of Romania and Indonesia, and named Ryan Sanders. That's the story 17 years ago.
