BIRTHDAY GIFT

SEPHORA POV

It's June 1st, the most awaited day is tomorrow. WOW, I'm going to cry if my family continues to treat me like this. Oh, it's not in a negative way. It's my birthday month so, my Dad, Mom, and brother both elder and younger are showering me with love and gifts, not that they don't any other day. It's just they are so happy to have me. I've always been a blessed and cherished child in my family because I'm the only girl in this generation. My brothers treat me like a Princess, my family treats me like a precious stone like if someone touches it I will break. But no, I will not, they also know that I have a strong mind I can take any pain and emotionally I'm stable

Now I'm getting ready for my university it's our first class after summer vacation. It's my first day and I'm being posted in the department I hate the most. Intern in the Orthopedic department. Aghhh it's frustrating.

My family is in good status in this country, but still I like to go by metros with my crazy psychos. After my family, they mean a lot to me, you can say they are like my second family. I'm waiting for my friend Viya on the platform. Since it's our first day we thought of going to university early other than that we always go skipping two hours.

"Hey Seph!". The voice I got used to for five years. Though we talk in phone calls during vacations you know there is no fun than talking with each other directly. Waving to her she came running and hugged like her dear life. Most people in the platform see us like some weird creatures but who cares when the one who cares for you is next to you.

" Ok sweetheart, everyone is seeing" I said tapping her back. "Who cares?" Saying, she back away slowly. "No one cares sweetheart" I smiled at her and said. "Did you call naira and watson" I asked walking with her on the platform. She let's out a deep breath saying, "Asusual". I smiled, because they have never been at time. " What about Kesha?" I asked raising my one brow. She chuckle and said, "She didn't take off from her house". You know it's usual for us, we seven will not go together at morning but evening from University to home, even it takes a lot time we will drag eachother to get home together. And that's what friendship means.

We reached out university and sitting in our library waiting for everyone. We decide should we go for postings or not after everyone is present. As of now, myself, viya, wats, jashi are at the library and naira, pb, and Kesha are on their way.

"So, birthday baby. What is the plan for tomorrow?" Jashi asked with a wide grin. Then and there I know they have planned something for me. So, I thought of teasing them a little. I said, "I'm not planning to come tomorrow. Mom and Dad is having some plans it seems". Oh my goodness! Their face. It's worth the lie.
"WHAT?" Everyone shouted at the same time, making everyone in the library turn and look at our table. "Guys calm down I just said to see your beautiful faces like this" I said calming them down.

Wats came near me and started to tickle me. I pushed him away and made him sit down.
"Aish, why are you so childish baby?" Jashi asked Wats with a frown in her face. Yes, those two are in love with each other. Wats and Jashi are like inseparable they may be a little possessive between themselves and even with me but still I love them. "You should have punched her face" saying that all the three of them come rushing to tickle me. I jumped running from the table and ran outside. "GUYS I'm sorry" I ran out from the library.

We skipped out postings and we're simply sitting at library seeing seniors and juniors who is beautiful in their ways. After lunch, we attended our lectures and we are heading to our homes. When everyone got down, they all huuged me together from all sides.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY OUR BABY" they said in a chorus. I felt overwhelming. Two hands were not enough for the blessings given by my God to me. Best family, friends and what not. We said our goodbyes and went to our own house. From station my driver always take me to house. When I got into the car, I didn't get the usual smile from my driver uncle. "Uncle what's the matter?" I said flexing my eyebrows. "Huhhh...nothing dear. Your mother said to call her" he said in a dull manner. I didn't feel good about this. I got my vision from two months ago come again before my eyes. I get visions both good and bad and that visions come to exist. That's the most worst nightmare I'm afraid of. This vision now I'm getting should not be true. Praying it should not be true I called my mom.
