Chapter 5



Finally, the day came. My birthday arrived just like I looked forward to.

I have already booked down an event hall for that.

I woke up early and took my time to get dressed.

My friends were calling to wish me a happy birthday and also wanted to know where the big event is taking place.

Since I have already told almost all my friends that is birthday plus proposal from Richard.

I have already started getting alot of congratulations

Me and Ella and also Anita talked about the engagement.

They wanted to know if Richard will be proposing with a diamond ring

They cheer as we talked about the ring and few other things.

Richard has the money for an expensive ring but anyone he chose to purchase is okay for me.

All that matters is that I will be spending the rest of my beautiful life with him.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

I specifically purchased a beautiful dress with shoe and a hand bag.

My hair was properly made and I was ready to go and party.

It was my party.

I have been getting calls from different friends wishing me well except from Richard.

I didn’t really bother much because he probably wanted to feel like he forgot my birthday so that he will show up at the event surprising me with the ring.

My parents even prayed and wish me the very best as I left that morning to the event place.

Everything was set, decorated with red roses just for picture purposes.

My friends were arriving and within a short period of time almost all my friends were present.

JoJo called that she was driving down to visit her Mom who begged her to come down.

She apologized for not being able to make it down to my party.

I understand and asked her not to worry we can always celebrate together at her place when she returns.

The birthday party began in style, the DJ was hitting up the place with lively music making everyone to be on their feet.

There was enough to eat and drink for everyone.

As the party was going on I couldn’t concentrate.

My eyes was looking at the door way and outside every second for Richard.

It was time to cut my cake, I asked them to wait untill Richard arrives.

I try calling him but his phone was switched off.

I began to wonder if it was part of the surprise.

Time was going and yet no sign of Richard.

I finally bow to pressure to cut the cake.

And when I was about to do that he drove in.

I became lively and happy again on seeing him.

And JoJo who said she was visiting her Mom also drives in immediately after Richard.

She whispered to my ear that she needed to hurry up with what she was doing Just to come down because she couldn’t miss my birthday for anything.

I was the happiest person alive on seeing both Richard and JoJo almost at same time.

Pictures were taking as they gathered around me and I cut my cake.

Richard apologized for coming in late and said his Dad sent him on an important errand since morning, he forgot his phone at home and has to stop by to see me.

He said he can’t stay to the end of the party because he needed to run back to his father before he gets so worried.

He promised to make it up to me another day.

I was waiting and thinking is all a joke but her started leaving.

“Why today that is my big day, what of the surprise proposal? The ring? What I’m I suppose to tell my friends, my parents and co workers who are already aware of the engagement?

I asked Richard as I followed him outside.

“Becca, we will talk about that. I need to run baby. I will make it up to you my love. Go back and party on… I didn’t want you to feel bad or feel disappointed today that was why I risked it and drove down…

And with that he blew me a kiss, got into his car and drove off.

I felt like crying but my dear friend JoJo, who followed me outside asked me to brighten up because is my day.

She said if I don’t get the ring today maybe he has another special plans for me.

She asked me not to rush him because Richie is a sweet man and doesn’t need rushing.

I felt disappointed but I still brightened up Just like JoJo suggested.

I told my friends that cares to know that something came up for Richard and he needed to Leave which means we will postponed the engagement party and Just enjoy the birthday.

And that was all we did.
