Unspoken Desires

36.) Birthday Surprise

A colorful banner with the words "Happy Birthday, Cheska!" is strung across the living room.

Balloons in various shades of blue and purple fill the space, adding a festive vibe.

Cherylene is arranging a table covered with delectable snacks and a beautifully decorated cake.

Mia carefully hanging streamers from the ceiling. Bernard, blows up more balloons with gusto.

Gertrude is busy arranging the presents on a separate table, ensuring they are wrapped impeccably.

Carlos was only talking to Louis and ignored his other grandchildren. Tonet is crafting personalized birthday cards for Cheska, adding her unique artistic touch.

Anne is coordinating with Martha to set up the dining area with Cheska's favorite dishes. They take extra care to ensure everything is arranged perfectly.

Martha spoke, "Okay, everyone! We're almost ready! Let's make sure everything is perfect for Cheska's surprise party!"

Tonet nods, "Look at these streamers! They're going to add so much color and cheer to the room!"

Gertrude smiles, "The presents are all wrapped beautifully. Cheska is going to be thrilled!"

Martha spoke, "Alright, everyone! Let's hide and get ready to shout, "Surprise!" when Cheska arrives. Remember, she can't suspect a thing!'

The group disperses, finding hiding spots around the room. They exchange knowing glances, their excitement building.

The front door opens, and Cheska walks in, her face filled with sadness and frustration as the room explodes with cheers.

The room erupts with laughter and applause as Cherylene steps forward.

"Happy birthday, Cheska! We wanted to make sure you had the best surprise ever!"

Cheska smiled a little, her frustration still showing.

They gather around Cheska, enveloping her in a group hug, celebrating the beginning of a wonderful birthday celebration.

Cheska hugged them back, she was about to join them, however, Gabrielle called her, she grabbed her phone and responded to Gabrielle's call.

"Hello?" Her heart beats, her family members watched her.

There goes Gabrielle inside her car, "Happy birthday! Let's meet now at Litto's restaurant!!" She felt bad for treating Cheska sadly before so she asked her out.

Cheska giggled and hung up, she walks away, but then Martha grabbed her arm, "Where are you going? It's your birthday"

"Yeah, but I'm celebrating outside"

Gertrude spoke, "We worked extremely hard for this surprised and we prepared a lot, and you would just leave us and these hanging just for your girlfriend?!"

Cheska sighs, "I would rather be with my soulmate!" Cheska quickly ran away and travelled to the restaurant.

Meanwhile, as Gabrielle stopped by a convenience store, there goes her friends and Cameron approaching her, inviting her to Litto's Restaurant.

Gabrielle was ready to tell them that she is on a date with Cheska for her birthday, but what her friends and boyfriend know is that she broke up with Cheska, which is a complete lie they shove down their brains because they dislike Cheska.

Gabrielle is ashamed to tell the truth and ashamed to reject their invitation, she received a message from Cheska that Cheska is confused about the directions.
