Our professor shared news about Joshua's achievement with everyone in the class. There was a round of applause, roaring his name loudly. I was so happy for Joshua, my soon-to-be boyfriend. When my friends heard the news that Joshua was graduating before us and that his business project was approved by one of the biggest companies, everyone was thrilled and excited. Tristian, who always liked Joshua, said that after this news, he was not getting how to express himself; just 'thrilled' would be a lame word.
Joshua was a follower of my dad, and his followers were like everyone in my college. It even got worse when the news of his latest achievement was spread; he started getting more job offers from top companies for top-level designations. All this boosted my energy even more, and the inferior complex that had taken place made me pour more effort into my studies, not to surpass Joshua. I wanted to prove my worth, both to my dad and Joshua, who, day by day, with each step, reaching the sky.
Joshua's visits were frequent at my house. With his appearance, the atmosphere would be lively or else dead quiet; my sister would be more cheerful with innovative questionaries regarding Joshua; and my dad would always discuss company matters and brag about his achievements. These conversations led me to notice how similar both were; in fact, they were like-minded in terms of running a company; their ideas and strategies were matching; there was also argument between both of them, but they would come to a term sooner; they wouldn't drag; my dad was not showing his superiority thing. I concluded that if I took a step ahead and accepted Joshua as my boyfriend, there would not be any problem. To boost this thought, one more thing happened: no one was allowed to enter my dad's study room, not even my mom, but Joshua was soon an exception because he started taking Joshua to his study cabin. I was human, and these human tendencies started showing symptoms kind of 'jealousy' started to develop by seeing all this development, which I plucked out immediately. It didn't make any sense that he was good; easily, everyone would be attracted to him, which was his plus point, and it was not his mistake I had to overcome.
As the days passed, I was giving my best in everything. I had to impress two people; one was my dad, and the other was Joshua. I wanted to prove that I was worthy of being his boyfriend, not some billionaire with no knowledge. Within a few months, Joshua was graduating. I thought of choosing the same path as Joshua and graduating soon. When I discussed it with my dad, he laughed at me for being ridiculous enough to complete my studies as planned; he was not pouring any more money in the future, so I had to make the best use of this time, and as usual, I ended up nodding my head.
It was my birthday. I was standing in front of my 18th birthday cake, with my dad and mom on either side and my sister with her friends. My friends were present, and Joshua was near me with his usual broad smile. This was the same celebration that I kept having until I turned 5 years old. After every birthday for the past 12 years, I was wishing for this exact picture, and finally my prayers were answered. Everything was the same, but I was annoyed when I heard the news that my dad canceled an important meeting at Joshua's request that included my mom and my sister. This party was arranged by Joshua, and I should have been happy but only felt annoyed. My annoyance was getting diverted to Joshua instead of my family; he took time and arranged everything I should be happy with, bloody pouring everything on Joshua. When it was time, Joshua came near me, told me to make a wish, and blew the candle. The biggest task was: what to wish for? What have I really got? What do I really want now? I got everything, but it still feels like nothing. My prayers were answered; I should be happy, but I ended up getting annoyed. What the hell should I pray for? By closing my eyes, I blew out the candles. I left the praying part blank, for now I don't know what was happening in my life. My life changed after Joshua entered my life, and I was annoyed for unknown reasons. I wanted to question so many things but didn't know where to start. I wanted to convince myself that it was nothing, but I wasn't able to for lots of reasons.
For sake, I was pretending to enjoy the party. I couldn't hurt Joshua or his efforts. After an hour of spending at the party, Joshua dragged me towards the car and drove off. Did he read my mind by any chance? We arrived at the airport, and his private jet was waiting. What was happening? Soon I was going to find the answer; he guided me towards his jet, and once we were settled, it took off. I was so exhausted, I don't know when sleep took over. When I opened my eyes, Joshua was in front of me with a smiling face, and when I checked the surroundings, we were in a luxurious room. I spoke, "Where are we?" "Greece baby?" "What?" "Yes, you heard me. As your birthday was approaching, I was planning to take you somewhere romantic. I discussed with your sister about your choice of places to visit, and she didn't have any idea. I selected this place. I hope you like my surprise." Wow, I was shocked. This was the best surprise. Is he mad? I love this place. I expressed my happiness by hugging him tightly. This thing about Joshua helped me overcome everything I was annoyed with; this assurance was enough to make me be positive and to trust Joshua wholeheartedly.
"I was terrified, randomly I chose this place, thank god you liked it and here this is your gift", he gave me a box when I opened it there was a watch 'Rolex' brand golden chain and in between there was diamond it was million worth together just a glimpse anyone could tell, "Hey it's dam expensive, how much you spent on this", "That's not important, Gray will you be my boyfriend?", "Han", "Will you be my boyfriend, please don't break my heart", that bought me a smile, "Of course, yes", "At last, you took your dam time, thank you so much for accepting me and making me happiest person", "You are exaggerating don't you think", "Na, I am not, you are sweet Gray I like to see this smiling face forever and enough for the day let me stop here too many romantic lines, common get fresh up we got only two days, let's explore 'Greece'," Ok".
After getting fresh up, we went out to explore a few nearby places. Most of the time, we were busy making out, and we could barely cover places in two days. By promising to visit next time, we left the place. I should agree that, in some ways, this birthday turned out to be the best. I got myself a boyfriend, and I gave pause to other annoying things. My life was chaos, worrying about only adding to and destroying my peace. Right now, I need to enjoy this moment.
