Time fled so fast and it was already Friday. Lisa was busier than ever. She's busy making the plan for Jennie's birthday. Her first stop was Irene's cafe.

She opened the door and saw Irene on the counter arranging the moneys. She walked towards Irene and Irene greeted her with a smile.

"Hello. Oh.. you're Jennie's friend, right?" Irene asked. Lisa nodded and smiled.

"I'm here to ask you a favor for Jennie's birthday." She said and Irene smirked and smiled.

Her second stop was the flower shop she saw on the internet. She opened the door and saw a old lady flowering the plants.

"Hello?" Lisa said causing the old lady to look at her.

"Well hello, young lady. What can I do for you?" She wiped her hands.

"I want you to arrange some flowers for me." She smiled.

"Tell me about the person you're giving it to." The old lady grabbed a pen and a paper waiting for Lisa to talk.

"Well she have this cold aura but she's cute inside when you know here. When she's shy, she's shy. When she's strong, she's strong. I.. I like her so much. Please make it so beautiful because her birthday is coming up." She shyly scratched her head.

The old woman wrote the details what Lisa has just said.

"When is her birthday?" She asked.

"Tomorrow."

The old woman smiled and put her pen down.

"Consider it done. I'll make the most beautiful bouquet for you." She chuckles.
"You know, I'm seeing my young me to you." She added.

"Really?"

"Yes. I once was inlove with someone. She has the same traits like your girl." She bitterly smiled.

"What happened?" Lisa was curious.

"She.. she passed away." She looked at Lisa's eyes. "She was my everything that time. She's the one I want to spend the rest of my life with but then, when we're on our way home the brake didn't work making.. making my world crumbled." The old lady told her causing her heart to ache.

"Is this what will Jennie feel when I die?" She gulped and looked down.

"But then, I'm happy because I know I'll be meeting her anytime soon." The old lady smiled.

"Can you do me a favor?" Lisa looked at the old lady. The old lady smiled and nodded.

Her last one was a construction site. She already bought the land making her the owner.

"Hello Ms. Manoban." The architect welcomed Lisa.

"Is everything going well?" She looked at the people working to build her final gift to the three of them especially to Jennie.

"Yes, Ma'am." They walked to the said site and Lisa was greeted by the workers.

"You can finish this by 2 months?" Lisa challenged the Architect.
