I phoned my mom after our simple celebration. Just like the usual, mom can't help but to cry the moment she answered my call. She greeted me and filled me up with some details about our failing company. She also told me that my father has been stressed out because of it.
I let out a heavy sigh. I think there's nothing new about it. The only think I want is for my parents to have enough strength to handle our company's problem and the stress it is giving. I know I can't do anything but I still worry about their mental wellness.
After that call, I saw Shaira's caller ID on my phone screen. I answered her call immediately and went to the balcony. The cold night breeze kissed my pale skin.
"Happy birthday to you, my dear cousin!" She greeted me on the other line.
"Thank you, Shaira..."
