A Surprise For Alisya

Alisya went to the kitchen and very slowly she picked up several knives that were lying there without making a sound.  Alisya was not sure what was going on, but she had one very deep concern.

 Alisya is afraid that her position is likely now known even though she has changed her appearance to be more feminine, but because the interview video when she managed to make a presentation and won it most likely has circulated and spread which of course will make it easier to trace.

 Alisya cursed herself as she thought of her selfishness which now might have an impact on those around her.

 Alisya stepped as slowly as possible without making a sound while on guard to be prepared for whatever was to come.

 Alisya went up, where Adith's room was and did not find anyone there.  Alisya finally removed the device in his ears to focus his hearing so she could hear anything, but she could only hear the sound of curtains blowing in the wind, the sound of burning coals, and the sound of the AC engine and the refrigerator.  Alisya was deeply disturbed by all the sounds but kept trying to find the slightest sound.

 Not finding anything, Alisya was forced to put the device back in because she was getting uncomfortable with all the sounds her ears heard.

 "Surprise!"  Everyone shouted out of one of the rooms beyond the stairs.

 A shocked Alisya immediately threw the knife straight at Karin, who was holding a tart filled with a lit candle.  Fortunately, Adith was able to quickly catch the knife he was throwing.

 "Hey, you want to kill me?"  asked Karin with a cynical face.

 "What does all this mean?"  Alisya asked no less sarcastically.

 "This is not my idea!"  Karin replied.

 "Yes, Sya. We also don't know, if it turns out that today is your birthday!"  said Adora with a big smile.

 "Sorry, Alisya. This is all aunt's idea!"  Adith's mother appeared from behind Adith and Karin.

 "A-Aunty? But why?"  asked Alisya politely and confused.

 "Ehemmm ..." Karin coughed reminded Alisya not to ask and better to appreciate Mrs. Adith's good intentions.

 "My mother has liked you since the first time I met you, I also don't know how she knew your birthday. But when you see your grandmother here, you will understand!"  Grandma Alisya appeared as soon as she was mentioned.

 "Mrs. Adith came to visit grandma yesterday, and accidentally she knows your birthday from the mouth of her grandmother. Grandma knows you don't like birthday celebrations. But, Mrs. Adith insists on making it. So let's just say you are not a birthday but thanksgiving!"  Alisya's grandmother's naughty smile, hugging her spoiled Alisya.

 "Grandma ..." Alisya felt tight with her grandmother's hug.

 "Wow ... My hands are sore," shouted Karin.

 Alisya immediately pulled out the candle that was on the tart, making everyone surprised and confused.

 Alisya smiled mischievously.

 "I don't want to eat the candle, I just want the tart," she said, taking the knife in Adith's hand.

 Everyone laughed at Alisya's ridiculous lines.

 "You never change yeah, Sya!"  Karan appears giving a bouquet filled with various kinds of ice cream.

 "Brother Karan?"  Alisya couldn't avoid the warm kisses she thought she wouldn't do in front of everyone.

 "A rival appears!"  whispered Adith's father into Adith's ear whose face was turning red when she saw Karan kissing Alisya's forehead.

 Adith's mother smiled teasingly at Adith.

 "We're not eating ya? I'm starving ..." Yogi can't hold it anymore.

 "hahaha hahaha ... Come on out all! The acting is over now!"  cried Mrs. Adith.

 "You all go too far," interrupted Alisya irritably.

 Everyone immediately ate and finished almost all the food that was there, because Adith unexpectedly invited all Science class 2 students and Alisya's closest people.

 Alisya felt grateful that what she was afraid of didn't happen and instead got a precious moment that she could never forget before.

 Adith smiled with satisfaction watching Alisya's grateful expression look teary.

 "Do not hold back, if you want to cry. Cry in my arms!"  Teased Adith in a half-whisper.

 Alisya turned and glanced sharply at Adith.

 "I can tell that this event was prepared by your mother but everything that happened earlier must be your doing!"  Alisya gave Adith a piercing glare.

 "Wouldn't it be fun if surprises were discovered so easily?"  Adith's smile teased Alisya.

 "Don't ever do that again," said Alisya firmly with a serious and convincing face.

 Adith saw this look was not an order but a request that really should be done no matter what.

 "Forgive me!" Adith stroke Alisya's head calms her down.

 Adith understood, if it was someone else maybe it would just pass you by and leave a few special memories, but Alisya was different.  What she did earlier might happen and Alisya will be in a position where she will easily lose those closest to her.  After knowing Alisya more deeply, Adith seemed to know and understand Alisya better.

 "Alisya…" Adith's mother came over, accompanied by Adith's father.

 "Yes, Auntie."  Her tone was soft and warm.

 "Will you call me by name, Mama?"  asked Adith's mother looking at Alisya lovingly.

 Alisya was confused looking at Adith who looked away and her grandmother who replied with a soft nod.

 "But, Auntie ..." Alisya did not understand what Adith's mother meant.

 "Alisya, I have always wanted a daughter and I feel a very high emotional closeness to you. Can I be a substitute for your mother, even though I know I'm not good enough to be a mother for you!"  Adith's mother's voice was hoarse.

 "No, Aunty. I thank you very much because you want to think of me as your daughter's."  Alisya took Adith's mother's hand quickly to calm her down.

 "So I can be your mother?"  asked Adith's mother with a warm gaze.

 "Yes ... Of course, Auntie. I mean, Mom."  Adith's mother immediately hugged Alisya when she heard the call.

 "Thank you ... Finally I can hug you back, my dear Quenby,"  whispered Adith's mother in Alisya's ear.  Alisya is shocked to hear Adith's mother's call to her.

 "Mo-mom ..." Alisya stared with a confused face as soon as Adith's mother took off her arms.

 "That's a loving call from your mother, right?"  Asked Adith's mother pinching Alisya's chin.

 Alisya then understood the meaning of Adith's mother's call to her.  It had been a long time since the last time that name was mentioned to him so that when she heard the name, she couldn't hide her surprise.

 Seeing the attitude of Alisya and her mother.  Adith smiled sweetly as he looked away at the sky which seemed to be getting late.

 "You are also happy if Alisya becomes your son-in-law!"  His father teased Adith's ear.

 Adith just smiled back at Alisya, who was now chatting excitedly with her friends.  Meanwhile, Alisya's grandmother and his mother, returning to the house, gave the children the freedom to relax.

"I know you are still thinking about Mr. Ali, but I hope you can make better decisions for your future!"  Adith's father reminds Adith of their previous agreement, regarding the dreams and aspirations he will pursue by not leaving the company aside.

 "Of course, Pa."  Adith's gaze reassured his father.  Adith's father smiled, patting Adith's shoulder, and walked in leaving them in the garden
