"Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday my dear Lynn
Happy birthday to you..."
My friends sang the birthday song to me. They even sang the Mandarin, Malay, even the Korean version to me.
Rachel brought in the cake - a regular sized strawberry cake.
"I made this for you, babe," she whispered into my ear.
"Thanks babe, you're the best," I whispered back, and pecked her on the cheek to show my gratitude. I ended it off with a smile.
"Go on, make a wish!" Agatha shouted excitedly from across the hall. She was one of the many whom Rachel invited. There were moments I wondered if it was really birthday instead of Rachel's. She had been doing all the preparations, showing hospitality to the guests, while I was the one sitting on the couch, watching TV and talking to random people who were by me.
"My first wish is... I wish that everyone whom I know will have good health."
"That stinks! You are so old-fashioned," a familiar voice rang. I paid little attention to it, because my classmates always used provocative words as jokes.
"My second wish is... To marry to Benji." I flashed him with my sweetest smile, and was glad to have him return his sweetest smile too.
I thought I saw him move his sexy muscular calf muscles, and the next thing I knew, he was already kissing me hard on the forehead. What an athlete... I thought, awed by his lightning speed from the bathroom to my side.
It was a tradition to say the third wish in your heart. I did not know where it originated from, but I just did it anyway, although I was never a superstitious girl.
My third wish was: I wish to be happy forever...
I felt a warm tear falling from my right eye - a tear of happiness.
