My Brother's Substitute Role
Part 397: Preparation
The struggle to get to the point now. Now one year Azmia has struggled to become a connected mother figure for Alnia.
Under the care of Azmia and Revan, Alnia is now growing healthy, every day getting smarter. Right at the age of one year baby Alnia can already walk, although it is still two treads.
Today is the happiest day for the Azmias and Revan family because today they will celebrate the birthday of their little fairy.
Azmia and Revan have been decorating the living room with a variety of birthday accessories.

Morning
Azmia and Revan continue their unfinished work of juggling the living room.
"It doesn't feel right, now Alnia is one year old" said Revan.
"Yes, Ay," Azmia replied.
"Undus." Alnia walked over to Azmia who was still busy preparing for the event.
"Honey, Sholeh Mother's child is awake." Azmia kisses Alnia's cheek.
"Beautiful boy with Mbok Asih first yes. Mother finish this first." Azmia said very gently so that Alnia would understand what she was saying.
"It's the same as Mbok." Mbok Asih holding Alnia's hand walked away from Azmia.

Elsewhere
Alby returned to his room with Daffa.
"Al, what time is it?" ask Daffa.
"Later in the evening" replied Alby.
"Oh, yes, we will have a break to eat out and I want to find a gift for Alnia" said Alby.
"It doesn't feel like Alnia is one year old. One year Nila's gone." Alby looked back at Nila's face. The departure did leave a deep wound for Alby to make it still survive on its own.
"Yes, one year too, Lu is widowed" continued Daffa.
"Sue, Lu."
"Haha. It's been a year, Al. Why don't you want to find a companion again?" Not to urge Alby to get married quickly, but Daffa only pity because since the departure of Nila, Alby likes to daydream.
"That's the case, I'm just following God. If indeed Allah is pleased, I marry again, may Allah send a companion for me for the last time" replied Alby. Tired of fighting no. Trauma with events certainly not, because every thing that happens is already a provision of God.
Alby only hopes for his third marriage let God choose and send a partner for him. (The first is in the match, the second is the choice of his heart)
"Amen. Hopefully soon, you're not alone." Daffa guaranteed prayers and prayed for his best friend.
"Amen." Good prayer must be answered.

Back to Revan's house.
Exactly at ten in the morning Bunda Rita and Mba Lasmi arrive at the residence of Revan. He came in the morning to help prepare everything.
Not inferior to the iron now Mama Iren and Papa Ari also arrived at his daughter's house. Ali still has a job on campus.
The parents came certainly not empty handed huh. Mother Rita brought two paper bags. While Mama Iren brought a pretty big box.
"Darling, did the cake order?" ask Mama Iren.
"Already, Ma. It'll be at anterine" Azmia replied.
"For what food?"
"Mama take it easy, about the food all arranged Nina and Pras. After all this is a simple event so it is not too troublesome, Ma," said Azmia.
Azmia did make an event to celebrate Alnia's birthday, but the show was not like the others. Azmia only made a simple event attended by relatives and friends and people closest to Azmia and Revan.
