Zynie POV

TODAY is the big day! It's my baby birthday! It's July 2. Twenty two na siya ngayon.
I get ready. Three pm panaman. It's a simple birthday party. Ang dadalo ay mga kaibigan, classmates and family lang naman.

Hinaplos ko sa buhok si Misty, our cat. Dadalhin ko siya ngayon.

Hinanda ko muna ang mga dadalhin ko dahil doon ako matutulog. Darius said na hindi na ako magdala ng damit, pero tumaggi ako.
I stare at my gifts. It is a handwritten letter na ang aesthetic, photo album of us, and a canvas. Ginawa ko lahat ng to, all by myself.

Binasa ko ulit ang letter, kung okay ba.

Dear Baby,

Happy Birthday! I hope I make you happy. About my gift, it is not expensive, but I make it with all my efforts. I make it with love. I wish you a long life, also our relationship will last till the end. Take care of yourself. I will not able to take care of you forever, there's a chance that we will break up. I am so lucky to have you, so perfect too. We are feeling the same pain, the person who important to us but they are now in heaven. Tell me if you have a problem and I help you solve it. You know my likes and loves. Thank you for all the memories. I… love youuu so much. Again! Happy Birthday Baby!

Love,
Your baby,

Okay naman. I look at the canvas. It's a drawing of us. The night that we dance. The night that we share our love to each other. The night that so special to us.

NAGBIHIS ako ng white bodycon dress, knee length. Hapit na hapit ito sa katawan ko. My curves is visible. Pinaresan ko ang dress ng white louboutin stiletto. Ang isinuot ko ngayon ay regalo ni Tita at ni Darius. I put a light make up and curl my hair.

“Happy birthday!" salubong ko kay Darius sa sala. Bitbit ko si Misty at ang malaking paper bag. Wala si Mama dahil nagtrabaho.

“Your so pretty."

Inilahad ko ang malaking paper bag. “My gift!" excited kung sabi.

I saw Darius eyes sparkle. Tinanggap niya iyon. “Thank you."

I saw Darius eyes widened when he open the paper bag.

Kinuha niya muna and handwritten letter at akmang bubuksan pero pinigilan ko siya.

“Mamaya mo na buksan yan please," I pleaded.

Hinalikan niya ang noo ko at hinawakan ang bewang ko. “Okay…”

“Your so handsome!” puri ko.

“Thank you."

Sa labas pa lang ng bahay ay rinig na rinig ko ang mga tawanan.

"Nandito ba sila Zen at Cheska?” Tanong ko. Gusto ko na may ka close na kasama maliban kay Darius.

“Yes. Pupunta na muna tayo kila Mommy.”

“HIJA! Your so pretty. Oh! It's the bodycon dress that I give you… right!”

Nagmano kami. Natuwa ako.

“Yes po,” nahihiya kung sabi.

Tita Amina is wearing a maxi dress, nandito lang ang pamilya ni Darius sa sala, nag uusap.

Pagkatapos ay pumunta na kami sa pool. May mga naliligo, kumakain, sumasayaw, kumakanta, at nag uusap. Everybody seem to enjoy the party. Mayroong buffet.

Lumapit kami kila Cheska.

“Oh! Zynie and Darius!”

Tumabi ako kay Cheska. Si Darius naman ay kinakausap ang mga bisita.
