What's going on?! asked a confused Riko.
What do you by what's going on said princess,if you are trying to pull a prank on us quit it,it's not funny.
With a more serious look Riko said I am not joking I don't know what's going on .
No way how can you not remember what today is,''you are trying tell us that you don't remember your own birthday'' Rebecca said in total disbelief. Riko awkwardly scratched his head 'it's my birthday?,I forgot.Yeah we figured said Becca.
Throughout the entire conversation Ken was quiet,it was more like he expected it. I believe we were here to celebrate Riko's birthday,will you guys stop making things awkward.
Ok said Becca
The trio then proceeded with their original plan of celebration Riko's birthday though the surprise part was ruined because the birthday boy didn't remember his own birthday.
Riko was about to blow out the candles on his cake when the doorbell rang.
Did you invite anyone over asked ken
No I didn't replied Riko
Happy birthday Sora shouted immediately the door was opened but the person at the door wasn't exactly who she expected it to be.
Sora: sorry to disturb you I thought this was my friend's house I must have gotten the address wrong.
She was about to leave when Ken said to her,
Ken: Are you by chance looking for Riko
Sora: yes I am,how do you know
Ken: you didn't read the address wrong,this is Riko's house. I am here for Riko's birthday.
Ken who is it? asked Riko as he made is way to the door.
Riko was surprised to see Sora at the door. Happy birthday said Sora to him, Riko started to have thoughts about how he could be so forgetful even Sora who he met recently after almost a decade remembered that it was his birthday.
Sora was invited inside into the house,and only after a brief introduction did they continue the birthday celebration.
Riko POV:
This is one of my best birthdays ever,all my close friends are here.
I loved seeing my old friend and my new friends getting along so well. It is really heartwarming to see them converse with each other like they knew each other for a long time. I could see that all of them cared about me, I'm surprised that anyone of them even came. Ken,Rebecca and princess left town A only to celebrate with me and Sora left her workplace just for me.
The celebration was once again interrupted by the doorbell ringing, everyone turned their heads towards me with one question hovering on their heads "do you have anymore friends coming over".
I decided to answer the door this time. There was no one at the door when I opened it but there was a package, with the words happy birthday boldly written on a card , there was also a bouquet of flowers on it. I carried the package inside thinking that it was from one of my friends but when I asked them about it they all said they knew nothing about it.
Princess then suddenly came to the conclusion that I might have a secret admirer.
I highly doubt it since I don't remember talking to anyone apart from Sora and at same time She might be right,I didn't bother myself about it since if it turns out to be so then the person will show their self later on.
Early the next day I bid goodbye to my friends going back to town A
