CHAPTER 43

SEHUN'S POV:

I'm pretty sure something is going on in the family, but I don't know what it is. Even Zyanya isn't there today, even after knowing that's it's my birthday. I pout standing near the balcony door. *No one wished me till now*. Hearing the door open, I turn and see Moms and dads standing with wide smiles plastered on their faces. I smile seeing them smile. "Happy birthday to our lovely, cutie youngest son Sehun". They chirp and hug me. I hug them. Aunt kisses my forehead. "May God bless you and fill your life with all the happiness in this world". Aunt says. My heart melts. "Aww... thanks mom". Mom comes and hugs me. I hug her back. "May all your wishes come true my dearest son".  "Thanks, mom. I love you all". They smile. "We love you too our dearest". "Oh... there are a lot of things for you in the store". That makes me raise my eyebrow. "What do you mean aunt?". They look, giggle and wink. "You'll get to know soon". I pout. "Alright".

We sit and talk when the door of my room opens with Loey, Nini and Yixing holding a cake. "Happy birthday to you". Sings chanyeol"Happy birthday to you". Follows Nini. "Happy birthday to our lovely, dearest Sehunieee". "Happy birthday to you". The whole family sang and ended, harmonising. They are too much sometimes but it surely is the best birthday wish. "Thank you so much. But I'm mad at you all". "Why huniee?". Baekhyun asks. "You all wished me after a really long time". I pout. Seren sis giggles. "Cute". "I'm not cute sis... gosh". I fold my arms and put a frown on my face. They end up laughing. I still frown. "Okay okay... gifts time". My ears perk up. Loey and Rhian sis gift me." Open it". Tearing the pink wrapping paper, I see a Rolex watch. "For our lovely you gest". They hug me after handing the gift over to me. Placing it over the bed, I hug them back. "Have a blast darling. We love you". They say and ruffle my hair. "Thank you, sis and bro. That's a huge gift. I love you both too". They smile. "Least we could do for our Lil Dokgo". They gave me that name because I sometimes practice my fight moves on him.

After them, Yixing and Sio sis come and give me a sweet gift which is something is on my to-do list. A book where I can write lyrics for my loved ones. I usually write them on paper and put them in a folder. Opening the blue box, it's bought a book that's beautifully embossed with the word Villanelle. It's a form of poem writing. They look at each other and giggle. "Open it and see". I open the book and when I turn the pages, all the songs I have penned down are present in it. And dang, there are empty pages as well. "Those empty pages are for you to fill when you get an inspiration for a new poem". It's a meaningful gift. "Thank you so much for this. It's really meaningful". They smile. "Anytime dear. We're glad you liked the gift. Enjoy your day to the fullest darling. We love you". "I love you too". They wink which makes me feel there's more to it.

Baekhyun and Naomi come in and give me a really surprising surprise. It's a pink box. What's with the pink and blue box? Are they trying to tell me something? Pushing that thought aside, I open the box and see a personalised platinum bracelet. With true-hearted carved on the lock. Are they all trying to make me emotional or what? It's written in Baekhyun's handwriting with a small heart beside it. "It's really good, oh my good lord, when did you buy this". They look at each other. "Long back". Naomi says. "But why true-hearted?". I look and ask them. " It's because you're loyal and a really kind person from inside. True hearted because you're a true and soft person sehunieee". They say and hug me. "Happy birthday our beloved youngest". I hug them back. "Thank you so so much".

Nini and Aryana come in with a blue box and hand it to me. Opening it, it's a pair of shoes with an envelope. Opening the envelope, I find polaroids of me dancing. Nini smiles. " We all know your love for dancing Sehuniee. Thus a small gift for you for all the boys night we'll have in the coming times". I don't know but they definitely have planned to make me cry today. "Not more than you Nini". He hits me. "There's no need to compare anyone's abilities with anyone. Even if they share the same blood. You're unique Sehun, and we're super proud of you". Aryana smiles. "Exactly, with that being said. Be yourself Sehunieee. We love you and let's party soon haha". I laugh. "Sure". My memories got refreshed. Only if she was here. Nova I miss you and I love you my Lil sis. Nini hugs me. "I know you're missing her Sehun. Remember what she told you". I nod and look at others. They have soft smiles on their faces. "That whenever you miss someone, just keep a hand on your heart. Cuz they stay there". "Yeah. And Now cheer up birthday boy. We have a party coming soon and will dance a lot tonight". He giggles which makes me smile. He and his love for dancing. "We love you Sehuniee". "I love you too".
