"Mrs. Smith".....I said when they suddenly came in.
"Oh god, Sarah dear what happened?".....she immediately walked near me asking me worriedly.
"We we're worried about you?"...Mr. Smith said while standing on side oart of the bed.
"I'm okay, Mrs. Smith"...I said and they could just sigh in relief.
"Thank goodness, but what exactly happened?".....Mrs Smith asked me again and I looked at her.
"I only got stressed Mrs. Smith, I'm really okay maybe I can't handle that much stress that's why I fainted".....I explained.
"Are you having a problem about something or in your job?"..her husband next to her asked.
"No sir,"....I simply replied and they nod.
After awhile the door ipened and It shows Lesley coming in.
"Hey mom"....she greeted her mom and put the medicine on the table baside the hospital bed.
"Oh right, your medicine, it's already past midnight".....she said and gave me one tablet and a glass of water.
After I drank the medicine she advised me to sleep so I did because I'm sleepy anyways.

Morning came and I was awoke by the sun that's hitting on my face.
As I got up. I saw no one inside the room so I remove the blanket that's cvering my body and landed my feet on the cold surface of the floor.
As I searched inside the room. It was so quiet and I wonder where everyone went to.
I was about to open the door when I noticed that the doorknob is moving in circular motion means that someone outside was opening the door.
I walked away through the door and waited till it's fully open.
But it seems that no one did open the door so I walked near the door so I could be the one to open it.
As I slowly open the door. Someone shouted.
"Surprise!"...That's when I saw Lesley holding a cake with a candle in the middle of it slowly entering the door together with Mr.&Mrs. Smith holding the confetti.
I was shock can't move for a moment. I didn't know it's my birthday today.
And I hate it beacause my parents had to die before my birthday comes.
That's why I've never celebrated any of my birthdays since the day my mom and dad died.
I don't know but their death affects me so bad that even celebrating my birthday never crossed my mind.
I look at them--no, more like I stared at them as they sang the happy birthday song infront of me. Happily singing and clapping.
I was frozen there and couldn't know how to react.
I was sad and miserable, yet also happy because of them.
I want to let myseld enjoy a very special day like this, the day I was born.
But....Sadly I can't...
As I stared at them while happily singing. My tears began to escape my eyes.
As they sang the lyrics of the song. It felt like a sad song has been sang by them.
When they finished. I couldn't help but to get in tears as they greeted me happy birthday.
"Happy birthday Sarah"....they all said in unison.
"T-thank y-you".....I stuttered.
"Blow the candles"....Mrs Smith announced, At first I was hesitant to go near the cake but as I step closely.
I have now tha clear access of seeing the design and words written on it.
It is written there a Big letters of Happy Birthday.
I looked at them before blowing the candle and Lesley said.
"Make your wish before you blow the candle"
And I did close my eyes.
And there is my wish..
I wish....
My parents are here alive together with me....
But it is impossible now. They are already dead and years has passed.
I opened my eyes and A tear escaped my eye again before I get the chance to blow the candle.
"I love you mom, I love you dad, I miss the both of you".....I whispered before blowing the candle.
As the lights have been blown. They clapped their hands with joy in their eyes.
And I was shocked when Mrs Smith pulled me for a hug but I hugged her back.
"Happy birthday dear"....she ahispered and hugged me tighter. After we pulled away Lesley immediately gave as a slice of cake and we began to eat it.
Afternoon came and her parents went home already and the doctor just came in earlier to say that I could be discharged to as of today.
We walked out the room after we finished packing some stuff.
And as usual she drived me off to home.
After getting out of her car, I immediately bid goodbye to her and get in my house.
As I enter the house, It feels so quiet only the picture frames cabinets and T.V can be seen inside my house.
As I laid myself at the sofa, I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket so I took it out to see who it is.
It is a message from Lesley, asking me if I'm okay being alone. I replied Yes, I'm used to this too so there's nothing to worry about.
As I wlaked through the kitchen. I wlked near the refrigerator to have some food but luckily I only have a bottle of water in it.
So I quickly searched for my wallet in the bag and hurried outside to buy some goods.
After I arrived at the nearest comvenience store. I walked inside and boughg evrything on the list.
After I bought all of it. I headed directly to the cashier but luckily there us many infront of me so I have to wait for my turn.
And now it is my turn. I was about to pay so I took my wallet but I saw a hand infront pf me strectching and giving his credit card and said.
"This is my payment take hers too".....he said.
And I was shock and lifted my head to see who it is.
And to my Surprise it's him....Wayne..
