Together Forever

I hear an ear-splitting scream and instantly fence my eyes with my hand to prevent the dazzling light radiating from inside.

Birthday? Whose birthday? I can't remember anyone's birthday.

Bright golden light disperses through the gap of my fingers and hits my face. When my eyes adjust to the light, I remove my hand and slowly open my eyes. I blink a couple of times to clear my vision and the sight comes into view.

What is...

I look at the two persons in front of me utterly shocked as they give me a happy smile in return. My eyes slowly travel from one side to the other of the large room usually decorated modernly but now the vibe is fully changed. It takes me seconds to realize what I am seeing and only one word comes to my mind.

Amazing

The whole room and the ceiling are decorated with pink and white colorful balloons. Golden string lights and streamers are hanging from the wall. There's a center table in the middle of the room with a centerpiece on top of it and the whole table is garnished with all the mouth-watering desserts. On the wall at the opposite side of the table, 'Happy Birthday our sweet girl' is written in big bold letters and the words are shining for the string lights attached around them.

The whole room is adorned with stars that are radiating golden light for why it's looking so bright. I love stars; they know that.

It's my birthday. I forgot.

So this is the surprise. That's why Nick hurriedly came here today.

I forgot my own birthday but they remembered it. I know they love me but I didn't expect this much. Especially when the birthday girl herself forgets her birthday.

"Will you just behold the beauty or come here and cut the cake?" Nick's voice brings me out of the Disneyland around me as I look at them.

They are wearing party hats standing behind the table, Nick has a knife in his hand wrapped up with pink ribbon.

"If you don't want to come here, then fine. I am cutting the cake. No, I don't even need to cut, I will just eat." Nick says as he pretends to grasp the cake.

"No, don't touch it. I will kill you, I swear." I shout, stopping him.

He twitches his eyebrows and looks at me with a smug look on his face.

"Oh really, baby? Do you know who did all these?" He says waving his hand in a circular motion pointing to the room.
