I was in my room, preparing for the final exams of grade 12, when suddenly someone knocked on the door. I asked, "Who's there?" and someone replied, "I have chocolates." I stood up immediately from my chair and ran towards the door. There I saw my elder brother holding boxes of my favorite chocolates. I screamed with excitement and noticed the clock-it was 12 a.m. I realized it was my birthday.
My brother started to sing the "Happy Birthday" song, then he kissed my forehead and said, "My precious little belle, now you've turned 18, so now you are considered an adult. But for me, you will always be the little babygirl who used to cry under her bed if someone didn't give her something she wanted, and secretly told Allah that we were so bad for not giving you what you desired."

Her eyes got teary after hearing about her childhood stories. Her brother said, "Ohh my belle, don't cry, it's your birthday. Otherwise, you'll ruin your makeup." He said this teasingly, knowing she wasn't wearing any makeup. She whined, "Oppppaaaa.... I'm not wearing any makeup! Look, I was doing my preparation for the exam." He laughed and said, "You are so beautiful and pretty even without makeup, MashaAllah. So, I can't tell if you're wearing it or not."
She smiled and then her phone started to ring continuously, she realized her friends were wishing her. Her brother said, "Okay, now come downstairs. Everyone is waiting for the birthday queen to celebrate." With that, he left.
Aira went to her study table and looked at her phone in disbelief. Normally, no one seemed to care much, but on her birthday, everyone was being so caring. She scrolled through the notifications, searching for one in particular, but got upset and turned her phone to silent. About to go downstairs, she realized her attire wasn't suitable for a celebration. She was wearing a black t-shirt and white pajamas, with her hair tied in a messy bun and clips holding back her baby hairs.
She immediately ran to her bathroom and changed into a white maxi dress with pink florals and a matching pink scarf on her head. After getting changed, she did some natural makeup and said, "Oh Allah, you saved me from getting embarrassed in front of my relatives. What if they saw me in that attire? They would surely be scared, thinking a witch had come." She laughed and went downstairs to celebrate her birthday.

When she went downstairs, she looked at the decorations and one word came from her mouth, "MashaAllah!" Everyone saw her, and her mother signaled her to come and cut the cake. She came near her mother and whispered in her ear, "Eommaa... why are Dad's side relatives here? Who invited them?" Her mother's eyes widened and her elder sister laughed at her statement, her mother whispered back, "Shhhh... Behave. They care so much about you, that's why they surprised us. I didn't know they were coming either."
She whined, "Eommaa... but..." Her mother cut her off by placing a finger on her lips and said, "Silent. I know you don't like them, but I can't tell them to leave now. Or do you want me to say that and see the mess created in this house?" Aira made a sad pout and looked at her elder sister and asked, "Ayeza Eonnie, where is Rohan Oppa?"
