The Best Birthday Gift
1361 Words
“Happy Birthday baby girl!” My parents said over the call.
“Thank you Mom! Thank you Papa!”
Today is my twentieth birthday and Mom and Dad have gifted the tickets to the boxing tournament as a surprise to me! They have asked Elina to accompany me there and I am already surprised and so very happy! What can be a better gift than watching my favourite boxer, 5 times world champion, VAN! My dream guy!
“Now come home quickly! The party starts in two hours and we have a surprise gift for our baby!” My parents said on the call and I giggle, “Another surprise? I am on the way home! Bye!”
“The best gift ever!” I squeal hugging Elina tightly and she rolls her eyes, “haven’t you watched a tournament in New Jersey, the last birthday as well?”
I scoff at her, “Yes I did. Still this is the best gift. Watching my VAN!”
“OK..OK.. let’s hurry and get you ready!” She has opened the car door for me as the car stopped in front of our huge Mansion. I jump down feeling very excited! Birthdays don’t come every day! It is only once in a year!
I run inside, “Mom! Dad!”
“Awww..My baby girl! Did you enjoy the championship? Did Van win?” My mom asked me, making me sit on the sofa in the huge living area.
“Yes Mom! Of course he won!” I blushed like a teenager in love and my Mom laughed seeing me. She kept listening while caressing my hair.
“But that man hit him on his cheek and he had a bruise!” I pouted and my Mom immediately hugged me, “Awww…don’t worry baby! I am sure his people will take good care of him!”
I sadly nodded.
“Come on! I don’t want to see my sweetheart sad on her birthday! ….Now, get ready quickly!” she kissed my forehead and summoned Teresa, “Teresa!”
Teresa is my groomer and she immediately took me inside to help me get dressed! I have turned twenty today but to my parents, I am still a little pampered girl! And honestly I love it.
Since the age of fifteen, I have been busy with business and my own career as a writer! There is no time for fun, enjoyment or love! I had to grow up faster than my age and among this, the special love and pampering that I get from my parents, is invigorating! So I let them pamper me! I know it gives them a lot of happiness as well!
My groomer Teresa and her team, help me to get ready after I take a shower. She made me wear a beautiful golden dress which ran along my perfect curves till my ankle. There is a long slit till my upper thigh on one side. The V neck is deep enough to give a glimpse of my big round bosoms yet leave a lot to imagination. A feathery scarf of silver was left casually on my shoulders. I wore golden and silver high heels, my brown hair tied up into a big pony tail, leaving the waves, to fall down to my slim waist. I had a small tiara made of silver and gold on my head.
My makeup was simple yet elegant. Silver eyeliner, golden and silver shadows on my eyes and light pink lipstick on my small plum lips!
I had a thin diamond necklace with matching ear rings and a bracelet.
After checking my makeup in the mirror and thanking Teresa and her team for the great Job, I slowly descended the stairs with Elina beside me!
As I descended half of the stairs and took the turn, I observed many people gather in the hall which was decorated with flowers, balloons and ribbons! A group was singing a chorus happy birthday song and at the base of the stairs, stood the loveliest couple, I have ever seen in my life! My mom and my Dad!
I am lucky to have them as my parents! They love each other so much and of course me, that every day in this house, I hear only laughters! They have kept no stone unturned to make me happy! I love my parents for that!
They give me an adorable smile and a flying kiss as I smile at them while descending the finals round of stairs.
The butler and the servants pull a trolley with a huge ten tire cake! It is a lovely cake decorated with electric candles! My parents take my both hands, standing on my either side and lead me to the centre where the cake is placed. I take the knife and taking in a long deep breath, I blow all the twenty candles together!
Everybody claps and sings for me while I cut a small piece of cake and feed my Mom and my Dad a small bite! They also take a small piece of cake and feed me! Once the cake cutting is over the music starts, announcing the beginning of the party!
Soon I and Elina are on the small dance floor made at one end of the hall, along with few other friends, majorly the sons and daughters of our business associates and partners! We all enjoy dancing like crazy teenagers!
It is an amazing birthday!
After dancing for almost an hour, my legs get tired and I move to a sofa nearby and sit with a drink. Suddenly, a pair of hands, wrap me from the side and a lip presses softly on my cheek.
“Happy birthday sexy!” hearing the voice, I turn around jerking the hands off me and glare at the person.
“Please keep your hands Off Charles! I don’t like this at all!” I say a little irritated.
“Oh! Come on Kiara! We shall get married soon and then my hands will be everywhere on your body..even inside your..” Charles gives me a greedy look down from my boobs till my private area and I sneer at him, getting up to leave!
“Disgusting!”
“Come on Baby! Don’t be rude with your future husband!” Charles holds my wrist.
I slap his hand off my wrist and roll my eyes! “In your dream!”
I walk away feeling irritated! That asshole knows exactly how to piss me off! I sit at a corner on another sofa where Elina joins me soon with a drink for me.
“Thank you Elina!” I take the drink from her.
“Don’t mention.” She sips hers, sitting on the hand rest of my sofa and then looking at my expression, she whispers, “Charles again?”
I nod and she sighs!
“That boy is seriously disgusting! He is over almost every girl! I don’t know what you will do if you get married to him!” Elina sneered.
I remained silent. The Heralds are 45% share holders of our company and Mr Frank Herald has many a times expressed his interest in making me his daughter-in-law, wife of his only son Charles! Although he has not proposed clearly, yet, his interest is clear! I just hate that guy and don’t know what I will do if they actually talk to my parents about my marriage with Charles!
I hope papa could refuse him! But can he afford to annoy the Heralds? The thought itself makes me nauseas!
“Hey baby girl! Come here! Elina ….you too! Come up!” My father summons us to the centre where he gives me a surprise gift every year! And every year it is something new! This is also a moment about which I am excited and my mood changes back to a joyous one immediately!
Papa and Mamma hands me a beautiful envelope and probes me to open it! I quickly open the seal and slowly take out a paper card from inside. It looked like an invitation card.
First I don’t realise but soon I find out that it is a pair of tickets to Mexico to another tournament of Van and also a black card with a letter!
“Oh my God Papa! 365 days of vacation? World Tour? Elina! It is for you too!! Oh my god! This is the Best Birthday Gift, Mom! Dad!” my parents laugh seeing me happy and hug me and soon I jump and hug Elina too!
“Come on! We have to do our packing! We are leaving tomorrow!” I pull Elina out of the crowd to my room!
