SIMONI

THE BIRTHDAY 1

Throughout the fourth week of the second month of Lydia's pregnancy, Simoni and Wan have been so close, they do talk on the phone and via social media too. Wan has informed Lydia and Alec about the birthday and they are coming to celebrate with Simoni. Lydia on the other hand continued to hope for the best opportunity to execute her pregnancy plans.

'What the hell is wrong with this button now?' Simoni asked herself angrily as she tried putting on a dress given to her by her mother years ago.

A knock was heard by Simoni at her door and she left for the door

'Ma... your dress is ready and delivered here...(noticing Simoni's undersized dress) Mam .... Can I .. say something?' Inquired the house help

'Go ahead' replied Simoni

The maid tried to touch Simoni's dress but Simoni held her hand. She looked scared then she begged Simoni

'I'm sorry Ma ... I just wanted to check the dress... it undersized ...' said the maid

Simoni looked fierce and anxious

'It's my mom's gift for my 18th birthday... I can't throw it away..! I have to wear it today!' Simoni yelled at the maid

After realizing she has frightened the maid, she apologizes and fell on her knees sobbing.

The maid was confused as she held her while pressing the bell on her hand to alarm Madini. Madini got there fast and calmed Simoni while he asked the maid to leave and never to speak of the event to anyone.

As the maid was looking worried and surprised, Someone grabbed her hand from behind as she was going.

'Good evening Ma Adnes... you are not to enter the main house' said the maid looking shocked

'Shut your mouth and listen... now tell me, I heard you speaking to Madini.. and I'm so sure something is up. I can tell from his look' asked Adnes

'Ma Adnes.. I only came to deliver a message... nothing to worry about' said the maid as she ran off.

'Hey... where are you going? Come back here!' Adnes yelled and covered her mouth as it happened to realize she was too loud, disappointed as she got nothing worth gossiping, she left.

Madini looked at Simoni with a sense of worry. Simoni smiled as she faked a smile to lighten his mood.

'I'm sorry... did I stress you with the birthday party talk?' He said as he knelt beside Simoni

'No not atall... I ... I ..' Madini cuts in as Simoni tries to talk

'It's alright.....don't force yourself please ... please get prepared, it's almost 6 pm and your guests will soon be here. All will be fine' said Madini

He left the room as Simoni went to wash her face.

Simoni has been agitated whenever it comes to her birthday, she normally feels like all past emotions flow right back to her. She could remember vividly her mom died a day before her birthday. She has not celebrated her birthday for the past five years. She couldn't bring herself to the realization that the only person who mattered in her world died a day to her birthday. It was the first birthday she would celebrate after five years of her unbalanced life as she does call it back then.

Madini always sent her gift every year even with Simoni's instruction not to celebrate or count it a special day.

'I believe things are getting better now... at least she gave me chance to celebrate it'... Madini thought to himself as he went towards the swimming pool.

Simoni sober up then started getting herself together, as she was brushing her hair, Simoni suddenly went into a trance.

'I'm sorry Mr. My sons are troublesome...

Simoni snaps out of her trance, she stood up and ponders on what she just saw.

'Who is that? I couldn't see the person speaking, I only heard her voice in a cloudy scene...and who is that man? What's happening to me? Simoni thought to herself.
