Gebrylle was about to go to sleep when she saw a piece of paper on her desk, it was from her brother

Rylle, I know you're not a fan of surprises but Im a big fan of it so wala kang magagawa, forest lake resort be there at 11, dress nicely sis.

Even in letter damang dama nya parin ang kayabangan ng kuya nya, Gebrylle just wore a simple black above the knee dress since its her favorite color at wala naman syang pag pipilian dahil puro black lng naman ang mga damit nya, at dahil 10:30 pa lng naman ng gabe she decided to put on some make up and wore a not so high heels after that dumiretso na sya ng parking lot at nag drive papuntang Forest lake, malapit lng naman ito dahil kabilang subdivision lng.

When she's almost near to their meet up place she receive a text from her brother.

Kaiser
After mo mag park just go inside merong receptionist na mag aasikaso sayo.

Just like what her brother told her, she did go inside and a lady in her mid forties greeted her, Walang tao sa resort she bet that her brother rented this whole place since Forest lake is a well known resort.

While following the receptionist she can't help but admire the interior design of the place it was gothic style, she was busy admiring the place when the receptionist stop at a big wooden door.

I will take my leave ma'am, Just open the door and you'll be entering a short tunnel which will be directed to the floating garden. Enjoy your stay here ma'am.

Gebrylle did what she was told, she opened the door and walk through the tunnel, it was a crystal like tunnel, when she's at the end of the tunnel she walk through a small wooden bridge crossing to the other side of the garden while walking she was astound by how the moonlight reflects the water, while she was busy admiring the place she heard a man's voice, it was her brother.

Beautiful isn't it?

She faced her brother and nodded as a response while admiring the place

Syempre dapat lng magandahan ka ang mahal kaya ng bayad ko dito pero okay lng may discount naman daw sabe ng may'ari ang gwapo ko kase.

Sigi lng kuya walang papalag.

Napatawa na lng sya sa isip nya dahil walang pinipiling oras ang pagiging mayabang ng kuya nya.

C'mon rylle my surprise doesn't end here, follow me

She followed her brother to where he was going and they end up to a beautiful tent with candles and flowers surrounding it.

C'mon rylle have a seat I prepared all of this for you

He was pertaining to the different kind of dishes on the table

Your kinnda sweet naman kuya iiyak naba ako?

Not yet dear, wait here okays

I nodded

After a minute I saw my brother walking towards me holding a cake while singing and It made me teary eyed.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday dear Gebrylle

Happy birthday to you

Just when he put the cake on the table a clock sound which means that it is 12 AM, my birthda..

Happy birthday sis.

He kissed my forehead

Thank you kuya.. you're the best..
Let's eat shall we?

Sure.. I replied to him happily
We were enjoying our foods when he handed me a small box.

That's my last gift for you rylle... he smiled at me

Why naman last I still have a lot of birthday to be celebrated with you..
I notice how the smile faded on his face

Is there something wrong kuya?

Nothing dear.. he tried to smile

I want to open this gift na, Im kinnda curios its so light eh..

You know that its kinda embarrassing if you'll open that in front of me

Oh c'mon kuya im just excited its my day naman kay don't be shy na.

Fine, but I'll be going to the restroom open it if Im there na .

Okay... I gave him an okay sign and he headed back to the tunnel dahil nasa labas ang restroom ng garden, I waited for 3 minutes until I decided to open the box,
hindi naman mabigat aakalin mung walang laman ito, I started to rip the wrap of the box and open, I saw a letter inside and i read it while reading it my tears started to flow non stop.

Happy birthday rylle and Im sorry, kuya needs to leave and Im doing this for you, please don't hate me for that princess, I just don't want you to see how our parents made me miserable I want you to remember me as your strong kuya that will do anything for you, please be a good girl to mom and dad okay? I promise once I have the power to take you from them I will be back, kuya will be back for you hold on to that rylle, kuya loves you.

Rylle opened the small box under the letter she got, It was a necklace with an infinity pendant and in the pendant words were engraved on it..

Always and Forever...

That was their promise to each other they will be together always and forever..

But rylle was all alone and devastated under the beautiful moonlight.
