It was early night already. The heirs and Antonia were waiting for Aurora and Mr. Mariano. They have decorated everything and ask the guard to call as soon as their car enter the main gate. They even told the maids to warm up the food after they cut the cake.
Guard called as soon as the car enter the premises.
" Guys they have returned." Antonia said excitedly.
" Leon, turn off the lights. Fast." Sofia shouted and Leon hurriedly turned of the lights.
They stood in the dark. They were both excited and afraid about Auroras reaction on the birthday surprise.
Aurora and Mr. Mariano got out of the car.
" Why is it so dark dad?" Aurora asked being confused.
" Don't know dear." Mr. Mariano replied with a confused voice too.
" What if they were attacked.." Saying that Aurora ran inside. She won't be able to forgive herself if that's the case. She will hate her birthday if that happens.
" Slow down angel or else you will fall." Mr. Mariano said following his daughter.
Aurora came inside the mansion.
" Antonia? Charlie? Where are you guys?" Aurora shouted but no one replied. She became more tensed.
" Sofia? Harry? Leo? Lucas?" She again screamed. Suddenly the lights were turned on. She closed her eyes for sudden brightness.
" Happy birthday to you.. happy birthday sweetheart. Happy birthday to you." The heirs, Antonia, the maids and group members wished her.
Aurora kept looking at them not being able to process everything. She was still in trauma thinking she couldn't protect the heirs.
They became afraid that Aurora didn't like the surprise. Mr. Mariano came and put his hand on Auroras shoulder. She looked at her father.
" Look angel, they have prepared a surprise birthday party for you." He said smiling slightly.
Aurora again looked back at the scene and realized everyone was afraid of her reaction. She was not angry rather she felt happy that they have given this much thought to make her day special.
" What with this reaction? It doesn't match the situation. Where are the smiles on your faces?" She asked smiling warmly. Everyone smiled at that.
" Happy birthday!" The heirs again wished.
" Thank you so much." Aurora replied.
" Let's cut the cake." Sofia said.
" Sure." Aurora said.
They cut the cake. Aurora feed the cake to every single one present there. The maids and group members were really surprised to see their cold queens this side but they were happy too.
" The cake is really tasty." Aurora said eating the cake.
" Leo, Lucas and Antonia have made it." Charlie said smiling.
" Looks like my elder daughter has got interested in kitchen at last." Mr. Mariano said chuckling.
" No uncle. The reason is not cooking. It's for Lucas only. She actually helped Lucas as he burned himself." Sofia said.
The boys and Antonia facepalmed themselves as it was a secret among them.
" What? You have burned yourself Lucas? Are you okay?" Aurora asked being concerned.
" I'm fine. It's not that serious." Lucas said smiling.
" You should have been more careful young man. You are under my care. What will I say to your guardians about this accident?" Mr. Mariano said with concern.
" Don't worry sir. I'm really fine. Antonia has put ointment on it."
Aurora looked at Antonia with a grin thinking maybe the ice between them is breaking after all drama.
" Take care of it." Mr. Mariano said.
" You can take rest for two days from the training Lucas." Aurora said.
Lucas nodded smiling.
" Ah! I should have burned my hand too then." Sofia grumbled.
" Shut up!" Leo and Aurora said together. Sofia pouted at their protectiveness.
" Venom. Dinner is served." Leon said.
" Dinner? I didn't ask to serve it." Aurora said being confused.
" Mom has sent all your favorite items today princess." Charlie said.
" Really? Have you guys eaten?" Aurora asked like a child excited for toys.
Everyone smiled seeing that.
" How can we eat without the birthday girl?" Harry asked.
" Okay. Let me get freshed then. Leon, serve dinner to the members and tell the maids to take too. We will eat dinner together today."
" Sure Venom." Leon bowed. The maids and Members followed her.
" One more thing. I have forgot the bouquet dad got me in my car. Pick it up and organize it in my room."
" Okay Venom." Leon again said.
Then Aurora ran towards her room. The maids and members left the living room.
" Thank you guys. My angel is really happy today. I'm grateful to all of you." Mr. Mariano said with teared eyes.
" Don't cry dad/uncle." Saying that Antonia and Sofia hugged him.
" It's the least we can do for a selfless girl like her Sir." Leo said.
" She deserves every happiness of this world sir." Charlie said.
" Sir you should freshen up too. Let's eat dinner together." Harry said.
" Yes sir. Let's end this beautiful day with a delicious dinner." Lucas said.
Mr. Mariano nodded and went to his room.
After a while,
They all sat down to take dinner.
" Thank you so much guys for making this day special. I'm really happy today. This is my first birthday celebration as long as I remember. Thank you for making it so special." Aurora said.
" Let's toast for our queen on getting another year older." Antonia said raising her champagne glass.
Everyone followed her and toasted for Aurora.
They finished the dinner. Everyone went back to the room as all were really tired but Antonia and Sofia had another plans. They knocked on Auroras door. Aurora looked at them.
" You guys haven't slept yet? Do you want to say something?" Aurora asked.
" Well we want a girls night if you are not tired then of course." Sofia said.
" I'm not tired. I haven't done anything tiring whole day. Aren't you two tired? You have done a lot today." Aurora asked.
" Nope. We are not. So we have bring beers. Let's have our girl night." Antonia said.
" Okay. Sit then. Let me just message mumma that I have liked every gift of her." Aurora said.
Antonia and Sofia saw the gifts Mrs. Zaffino sent for Aurora.
" Woah! She knows your style and choice really well. Dresses, office wears, casual wears, ornaments, makeups! Bags! My god!" Sofia exclaimed.
" She has sent too much." Aurora sighed.
" This is her love for you. Aunty has great choice I must say." Antonia said smiling.
" You message her. Antonia and I will organize them in your closet." Sofia said.
" Go ahead. I'm coming." Aurora said looking at her phone.
They organized the gifts and sat down on the bed with beers in their hands.
