Love Amidst the Flames

Chap 64

Today, they decided to go to a restaurant near the beach, famous for its grilled dishes and outdoor BBQ parties. The atmosphere here is refreshing, blending with the sound of the waves to create a wonderful ambiance for an unforgettable evening.

- "Let's order a variety of dishes!" Engfa suggested, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

- "I heard the seafood here is delicious!"

- "Sounds fantastic! I really like grilled food," Charlotte smiled and said, with Marima nodding in agreement.

- "Me too! This will be a fantastic evening!"

As the three of them sat at the table, the scene became cozy and intimate. The soft yellow lights, along with the sound of the waves gently lapping at the shore, created a truly wonderful atmosphere for the evening. They ordered a variety of enticing dishes, from fresh seafood to fragrant grilled items.

Engfa didn't hesitate to pick up a piece of grilled squid and placed it on Charlotte's plate.

- "Try this! It's really delicious!" she said, her eyes shining with enthusiasm.

Charlotte smiled as she took the squid:

- "Thank you, Engfa! This dish is truly aromatic!" She then offered a grilled shrimp to Marima, saying:

- "And you, Marima, you must try this, it's sweet and fresh!"

With excitement in her eyes, Marima nodded and thanked them:

- "Thank you, guys! This dish looks very tempting! Today is truly a wonderful feast!"

After enjoying a variety of delicious dishes, Engfa felt the dinner was truly complete. She smiled, suddenly remembering the prepared cake.

- "Now it's time to celebrate Marima's birthday!" she said, her eyes gleaming with joy.

As the party atmosphere reached its peak of joy, Engfa felt the need for a special gift for Marima on her birthday. She stood up, went outside for a moment, and returned with a bouquet of fresh flowers in hand. The vibrant, colorful flowers brought a fresh brightness to the cozy space of the dinner.

- "Marima, this is a bouquet just for you!" Engfa said, her eyes sparkling as she handed the bouquet to Marima.

- "I hope it brings you joy and freshness, just like you!"

Marima, surprised, accepted the bouquet, smiling contentedly:

- "Thank you, Engfa! The bouquet is beautiful! You are so thoughtful!" She took a deep breath to savor the fragrance of the flowers, feeling happiness overflowing in her heart.

- "Not only flowers, I also prepared a birthday cake for you!" Engfa said eagerly.

She pulled out the cake from behind, surprising Charlotte and Marima. The cake was delicately decorated with cute patterns of leaves and flowers, along with a sparkling candle.

Marima couldn't hide her emotions:

- "You are so kind! I don't know how to thank you both!" Her words were full of emotion, her eyes looking at Engfa and Charlotte.

- "We are friends, this is nothing grand!" Engfa said, knowing deep down that genuine friendship is more precious than any gift.

Charlotte added:

- "Today is a special day for Marima, so we just want to bring the best to you. Our friendship deserves to be celebrated!"

Marima bowed her head, her face blushing, a deep emotion filling her heart.
