Two days later......
The candles were lit, her laptop was on the bed, the timer counting down to midnight. With every second that passed, the tension, the suppressed excitement, multiplied.
Aida was seated on the bed, dressed in her favorite pajamas, her hair in a messy bun.
The clock struck twelve. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AIDA KHAI!
Aida blew the candles out, she was finally twenty!
Finally in the twenties club, a young adult, yayyy!
Kehlani, as usual was the first to post. She wasn't an epistle type of person, it was a simple happy birthday post with embarrassing pictures she had taken of Aida over the year.
There was a knock at the door, she already had an idea whom it was going to be.
"Happy birthday Aida!" Lupita screamed in excitement the moment she opened the door. Ecstatic as always. Always happier than the celebrant herself, which always left Aida curious.
