Novel & Cerita Happy Birthday Maria

Aling Maria chuckled softly and nodded. "Ah, my dear, you hit the nail right on the head. Your husband doesn't celebrate his birthday. He is used to letting that day pass quietly without any noise. He prefers giving donations, checking on patients, or personally visiting children in remote areas or the underprivileged rather than celebrating for himself." A sweet idea instantly bloomed in her mind. If he didn't want to celebrate for himself, fine, she would find a way to make that day special for him. "Hmm, in that case, there's even more reason to make that day unforgettable. I'll take care of planning a surprise for him, but let's keep it a secret for now, Aling Maria," she whispered, and

He said as he took his cell phone and was about to walk out of the room. Suddenly Maria grabbed his wrist and made him stop. Alex turned and looked at her. "Won't you spend your birthday with me as you used to? " Maria asked. Alex avoided her stare and looked at his wristwatch. " It's okay. if you don't like to celebrate your birthday with me but can you bring me to your home. " She spoke. She lowered her head and continued " You know I d-don't know anyone in this city other than you. " " After my parent's death, you were the only one... " Her words again interrupted by the call. She stared at his phone and moved her focus to Alex and spoke again after the call ended.

"Oh, you're here. How'd you get in?" I plopped down on the floor. "Through the door." "Established," she replied before shoving the pack of Paqui chips in front of my face. "Want some?" "Wow," I drawled, taking one chip from the pack. "Katherine Alyssa Marie Montgomery is offering me her food willingly. I think I just saw three pigs fly." She rolled her eyes in response, before shoveling a chip into her tub of Neapolitan ice cream. I stared as she shoved the ice cream-coated chip into her mouth.

I stumbled out of his office, dazed. Fatal. I was going to die. And they wouldn’t stop until I did. “Surprise!” I nearly jumped out of my skin as soon as I opened the door. The various aromas of food, candies, and dessert hit my nose all at once. Strings of confetti were thrown around the room, and I saw Maria standing in front of the huge cake, in the room’s centre, with my parents behind her. “Today, we're celebrating the full recovery of my daughter, Maria. The next shall be her Luna ceremony preparation.” He sounded boastful.

Getting up from the bed, I let out a sigh and looked around. "Happy birthday," I heard and turned to see Maria and some ladies. "Thank you," With a smile on her face, Maria dropped a cake on the table beside me. "Let's sing for our dear Susan," she made me hold the knife, and they sang. They fed me to the point that I almost choked. "Take it easy." They also ate from the cake, and left, leaving me with Maria, who pulled me into a hug. "I got a gift for you,"

“Mr. Gogh, I’m sorry. I really didn’t know yesterday was your anniversary… “I was celebrating my birthday alone and felt a little down. Ms. Shaw only came to comfort me. “I’m sorry, Mr. Gogh. I’ll never celebrate my birthday again.” I burst out laughing. This was not an apology at all. It was clearly a collective show from the whole group. Amaya stood behind him with her arms crossed. Then, she said expressionlessly, “Now that Javor has apologized to you in person, are you satisfied? “Efim, how did I never realize that a renowned lawyer like you could be so petty?”

Lilian began the happy birthday song. Then everyone else joined in including Mark. I wondered how on earth he got in. “Happy birthday, Dear Amelia… Happy birthday to you…” they concluded the song with whoops and whistles. It brought tears to my eyes. “Thank you. All of you.” “Make a wish.” Maria jumped with glee. I smiled and looked at the strawberry cake that had a 25 candle in it. I was getting older. “Make a wish, babe.” Lachlan put his arms around me.

“I don't even know if to call you savage or strong.” “What do you have over there?” She said, nudging her head towards the notepads opened in front of me. “Okay, as I said, I am glad you are here. Sebastian's birthday is coming up next week. I want to give him a surprise gift or party. I don't know which to choose amongst these.” “Ohhh, these are beautiful ideas, Maria.” She cooed as I pushed the notepad towards her. We talked about the ideas for a while and then Maria retreated for the night.

A girl that looked exactly like Maria came from the door. “Mind your business, Mary.” Maria rolled her eyes. She gave Audrey a peck and stuck out her tongue at Mary before freeing Audrey from her octopus embrace. “Ugh, you guys are older but always act like babies.” Audrey sighed and went to sit on the white dining table. “Happy birthday, Great one.” Maria and Mary bowed their heads to her. She felt the tears come back again, and this time, she let them slip out. “Thanks, girls, you… I…” She was overwhelmed by the love she felt from her cousins.

"Come on! Do you think your pretty sister is cheap?" "Then where are you going?" Maria asked again. "Just somewhere. I'm going to the birthday party of the owner of Pasific Palace," Arianna explained while fastening the clutch in her hand. "That sounds great. There must be a lot of delicious food there," Maria replied innocently. As an orphanage resident, it was undeniable that they often had meals with a basic menu. Let alone eating delicious food, having rice every day was already something to be thankful for. Occasionally enjoying good food was a rare treat, and Arianna had received a large bonus from her office a while ago.
