Do you guys remember Yuni? That bastard I told you guys about? The one who made me introduce myself in front of the whole class during my first semester? Yap, that one. As some of you guys might know, I call her Kekanda and let's keep it that way, shall we? We shall.
Anyways, three days ago, 25th May, my kekanda turned 19 and I did a little something for her birthday.
My love. Obviously talking about the ice cream, duh.
She went to Indonesia for her sister's graduation day, so, she won't be around (at University) until three days ago. I was so happy to find out because the timing would be juuuuust perfect! By the time she gets here (still talking about University), it would be on her birthday and I would have enough time to prepare whatever that needs to be prepared for the surprise.
A few weeks before her birthday, I asked her to make a list of things she likes- it doesn't matter what it is. It could be a brand, a color, or even a name- nope, definitely didn't look for my name. She listed quite a few and I picked 4 from the list to give her as her birthday gifts- Bath & Body works lotion, Pizza, Waffle and A poem. But me, being me, extra generous and not basic, decided to add another one because 5 is an odd number and my kekanda is an odd person. Don't ask me why.
This crumpled paper is my only reference for the surprise... what an ugly handwriting, should have asked her to type it out instead. Hehe.
As her 5th gift, I gave her a jar of memories. She was turning 19 and the jar contains 19 pieces of small papers with 19 memories written on them. I took my time on recalling all of my favorite memories with her and I realized most of the memories were the funny ones. And speaking about that, if it's one thing that you have to know about Yuni, it's definitely the fact that she. is. hilarious.
I put all these on her bed on the evening because she told me that her flight was at 1 p.m, so, I was expecting to see her on the evening but by the time she arrived, the waffle wasn't crunchy and the pizza wasn't hot anymore. Its okay, I still am.
I also cheekily slipped a poem and a letter in an envelope. It took me about an hour to write her a poem. It was my first time writing a poem and I think I did okay...
What do you think?!
Anyways, to my Dear Kekanda, happy 19th birthday! ❤️
