Dusk Sky
Extra Part 4

Today is Anna's 9th birthday. There is no celebration at home. The house is actually quiet because everyone is present in the performance building where Anna is participating in the Jakarta Open Piano competition.

The little girl has trained to the maximum to bring two classical music belonging to the great composer of the world.

"Quiet darling.. Its alright. Whatever the outcome, Anna's been trying." Anna who looks nervous because participants come from all over the country was calmed by Dusk.

"You dare to show up. Daddy is proud." added Baskara also encouraging.

"When you're nervous. Your game's ugly." Kai spoke up.

Anna is seen taking a breath and taking it out of her mouth slowly. Trying to calm down as his mentor had been training.

"Come on Anna get ready. You're performing soon." Anna's mentor from Tiara's S&E music school was also present to accompany her protege.

"Awhile miss." Anna's permission. The girl hugged the mommy and said. "Doain Anna won yes mom. Anna wants to be a champion. Not just show up. Later the trophy for the birth of the baby's sisters."

The twilight smiled warmly. "Mommy pray for you baby. The sisters must also be in the belly of mommy praying for Anna's sister. So then.. Big brother should display the best abilities of brother without thinking of winning or losing."

Anna nodded and moved because her name had been called.

Dusk sighs. If Kai, his yearning is excessive. Anna is ambitious. Making him sometimes feel afraid of being wrong in educating or responding to the way his two children pose to grow.

It was the first time Anna had entered a major competition after almost three years of Piano classes. Only a few times to follow small events to train his mental performance on stage with a lot of spectators.

Dusk was afraid that his eldest daughter would be disappointed if today could not get what she expected. Because Anna's disappointment is not like a child sulking and after an hour and two will return as usual. Disappointed Anna would shut herself up for days in the room without even talking to anyone. It was also the consideration of Dusk and Baskara hid the pregnancy at that time. They did not want to make Anna angry and disappointed.

Anna's attitude was the fruit of those who overindulged their eldest daughter. Just from feeling guilty couldn't give her best when Dusk conceived the Emperor, making Anna grow into a girl whose every wish must be fulfilled. Being an ambitious and sensitive girl.

Anna performed both songs well. At least good for Dusk as a mother of her son who was playing the Piano.

Seeing Anna on stage, reminded her of the figure of Shevi's mommy who when she was little, she often came and saw her grandmother holding a big show. Being the main star on a magnificent stage that makes his children and grandchildren proud.

It turns out that the blood of art and the interest that mommy Shevi has is declining on Anna.

Even among Shevi's three mommy children, only Reina's aunty followed in her footsteps. It was just about being a mentor at a music school. Not being a famous musician like the late mommy Shevi.

And Dusk hoped, the blood of art left behind mommy Shevi, Anna could bring to be a famous musician like her grandmother.

Anna looks cheerful even though the cup that was won was only third position. I don't know what the Mentor put pressure on Anna every day to make Anna accept a defeat.

For Dusk and Baskara, the 3rd position out of the thousands that followed the selection over the past month, was already outstanding. A great first step for Anna. And whatever interests and talents the children will support.

"It was important that Anna was on the podium" the boy said as the Emperor asked her how her brother felt, which did not look as sad as ever.

"This is very cool, you know, brother." praise Baskara who increasingly makes Anna's chest puffed proud on himself. "We're going to eat at sister's favorite restaurant to celebrate her birthday and this victory."

Anna cheered happily. But not with the Emperor. Because she prefers Japanese food over her brother's favorite Western food.

"Later if Kai gets a champion at the science olympiad. Daddy will definitely celebrate at the Japanese restaurant, Kai." comfort Anna when she sees her sister's sour face.

Emperor throbbing. Maybe he's following the science olympics at his age. He still needs a few years to be able to participate in the prestigious event that he dreams of.

Dusk shook his head to look at the two children sitting in the back of me. Even without any celebration, Anna and Kai are often invited to eat at their favorite restaurants.

Not just their little family. Behind there were three other cars following. His parents and Baskara in one car. Farri and his family, as well as Vinda and her family.

Their extended family had been enthusiastic from afar to see Anna's performance on stage. Anna also forced them to be present and supportive.
