I looked at the date showing at the screen of my phone. 23rd October. I let out a small laugh.
It was his birthday, huh? Funny for person like me that reminded of him every time and every where, I could forgot about his birthday.
"Happy birthday," I said to no one.
Silence.
Life could be quite lonely without him. Maybe today I would miss him a little bit more than usual.
He always hated birthday because to him birthday was kinda sad.
"Why?" I asked, quite surprised with the statement.
"Well, you have to fake that you are happy on the day. I can't even be sad on that day, it is absurd. Plus, people suddenly starts to treat you nicely not that I don't like it but they are nice for just one day. It is pretentious," he stated.
I will treat you nicely every day. I can be happy for you every day.
Those were the words that I wanted to say but I didn't.
"Wow, that is sure one way to see it," I replied.
But later on, I realised birthday was actually kind of sad and lonely.
"Are you sad today this year too?" I said out loud.
"Please don't. Just let me be sad for you instead this time."
