Its heartwarming what your family can do for you. Although you know that's not what they feel, you can't help but smile as you know they're telling you something just to make you happy. Telling a white lie cheers someone up. Knowing that people are lying just for you, really brights up your whole day.
Its a special day. Exactly 13 years back, I just came into this world alive and kicking. 13 years later, there I was seated in a Toyota Wish, planning and anticipating on the possible positive events that would happen to me later.
After entering the restaurant, which was a buffet, I scooped all that I could from the beautifully decorated plates which held delicacies. Through the course of the meal, Dad was asking Mum if she wanted more and she politely declined. The two kept exchanging mannerisms which made the dinner a weird one. After getting tired of their polite conversation, they would urge me to eat more, as the birthday boy should.
Just as I were to get my dessert, they stopped me, as the restaurant lights dimmed. Curious and puzzled, I gazed around, trying to see what happened. Then, the soothing , familiar tune of the birthday song waved into my ears. The waiter served me a white chocolate cake that sent me smacking my lips in delight. As the song ceased to an end, I began to make my wish. Then followed by the usual blowing of candle, and cutting of cake.
As the dinner ended smoothly, and we were on our way back, I couldn't seem to take the smile off my face. Thank you Dad and Mum. Not just because you gave me a pleasant surprise, but for putting up a great act for me. I know that you two always quarrel and coming together tonight was just to make me happy. Thank you so much. It has been a unforgettable birthday.
