It was Andrew over the phone, he had called to check up on Natasha and possibly to remind her of their tour around the construction site during the weekend.
"It was not an easy day, now talk of Andrew and his rigorous office work. I know it's my father's company but I want to hold a breath of space." Natasha complained.
I am so tired now and I just want a good night's sleep…she mumbled under her breath.

Next Day
She woke up to a very enticing and familiar smell
She sat on the bed and moved her hand around, grabbed white jasmine flowers which is her favorite type of flower. She remembered how she got into possession of it from her Mom, and she thanked her mentally.
"It's my birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME"
Taking her time out in the washroom, she got out of the bathroom robe and headed straight to the closet to find a suitable cloth for her natal remembrance day.
I am supposed to look nice today and be the best today. You know why??... It's my birthday. She smiled at Delmira.
After sometime, rejecting every dress and speculating on the best dress to put on. She settled on her comfortable Denim shots and her white off-shoulder top. She let her wavy dark brown locks bounce on her shoulder up to her waist.
Moving through the stairs to the down floor
Screams of;
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU NATTY"
Delmira, mom and her Dad stood in the hall and sang happy birthday for her…just like every year.
With tears of joy she ran to them and hugged them all.
"I'm feeling butterflies in my stomach right now, thank you so much fam. I can't do without you" She grinned pleasure to them.
What is a great start off to my birthday
They all gave her birthday presents.
With happiness they moved to all over to the dinning table filled with many delicacies. "All my favorite!" she screamed.
Now she had options to choose from, wondering on what to choose amongst the delicacies.
Natasha thought that skipping any of the food would not make the best of her day and conversely resolving to eat them would make her look like a football.
Her birthday party was scheduled to hold in the evening of the same day. She was relieved of her responsibilities and was asked to enjoy her day.
In The Evening
She got ready in her gold colored dress which was gifted to her the previous week. She let her hair down from the bun which complimented her dress.
Wearing the jewelry her mom got for her, she even looked more gorgeous
She almost got ready, slipping into her silver wedges which were not too high.

Coming out from her car with Delmira she was immediately blinded with flashes.
As she dashed into the party hall, she drew total attention to her. Everyone's eyes moved to her and she received it warmly with grins.
Her younger sister equally looked stunning, she dressed to kill with her red dress.
Birthday party was grand, and various people from the business world attended. It was a sort of business conference.
Amidst the crowd she saw, Auntie Sharon talking to her Mom. Haven't seen her in ages, she couldn't help but run with excitement and met her.
Auntie Sharon was so happy seeing her…
"Oh my baby ! Happy Birthday !!...you looks so beautiful"
"Thank you" Natasha hugged her.
"I was just about asking Mom, if you gonna come"
"And here I am"
"I hope you like your Birthday party?!
A voice came from behind, she knew whom the voice belongs to… "by the way, happy birthday dear…you look absolutely pretty"
She turned around "thank you uncle!!...and I like this party but I don't like much attention!!" Natasha answered truthfully.
"Well, I think you have to bear with it today, you will get utmost attention today. Because the personalities here are much"
She sighed at those words
She met some of her friends from college at that party.
It came to the time of cutting the cake…Boom! The cake too was her favorite which was made with Vanilla flavor.
Standing in front of her big birthday cake with a knife, she made a birthday wish which is customary in birthday parties. As a matter of factly, that part of the celebration is her favorite part.
She was flanked by Delmira, Her Mom and Dad, friends and well wishers.
"Dave, come here! You are also part of the family" she said, seeing him standing by her.
And she is attending my birthday without wishes…Maybe he is here because of the announcement.
"But why is my Dad inviting him to stand by me?! What the f**k! What is going on in his head?"
She sensed Delmira getting tensed beside her and that rude bastard who attends birthday parties without wishing the birthday girl would stand beside her in Delmira 's place.
Shaking her head, she blew all the candles and then cut the cake.
Moments later, all were in a dance pace.
Her Dad came in with Dave to towards her and Mom.
He takes her mom's hand and turned to the dancing floor, they both smiled.
"Dave, you can join us to dance with the birthday girl while I dance with my wife"
At this time, Natasha's eyes practically popped out of it's sockets.
Something seemed to be fishy
No not something, everything is fishy !!
Natasha's Dad would never allow her dance with a guy, even if she asks him,
How then did his character change.
And now he is…
"Ahem"
She winked her eyes and came back to reality, Mr. Perters was standing Infront of her offering his hand to her straight face.
Meanwhile I haven't seen Andrew here, seems like he is among this plans
She reluctantly gave him her hand and moved to the dance floor.
Everyone was partying hard, seeming like she was left out on her big day.
She was still thinking…what's happening
"What the hell is my dad planning?!
