Be like a tree no matter how many times people throw stones at you,you will still give them fruits..

<<<>>>

I smile as I opened my eyes,I made my way to the window as I smiled at the sun that's smiling at me,today is my birthday and I will be happy without boundaries,my place of work told me that one of their security will guard today since Amma's restuarant is going to open up today...

I carried my book as I thought of what to write afterall it's my birthday..

The sun smiles to the earth and shines it,
The moon chuckles and pacify the earth,
The wind blows and clarify the earth,
The rain fall and wash the earth,
The stars twinkle and lighten the earth,
There are many things to make you happy on earth,
Don't be sad,
Because if you look around you,there are many blessings in disguise,
And those blessing will make you happy,
Eternal happiness..

Areef..

I flipped a page as I wrote another one,every year that's my birthday I write a poem for my dad and how we are still coping with the fact that he left us....

I want the tears to flow but I have ran out of it,
I want to remove the burden from my heart but it can never be removed,
I want to shout but my voice is already cracking,
I feel like am drowning inside a river without knowing how to swim,
I feel like am on top of a hot sand that's not only burning my legs but my whole body,
I struggle everyday to escape from this world of sorrow,
But my struggles go in vein because you are not by my side,
I let darkness take me because no light will come to my way,
I waited and am still waiting for this light to come and take me,
But my wait is still going in vein,
Then I thought that waiting is not an option,
I have to stand up for myself for I waited so much ,
And I cannot wait anymore,
I shed light to my life but am still waiting for you....

11 years..
Baba..

I sigh as I finished writing as I lied down on my bed to calm myself down..

A messages notification went on as I bought my phone from under the pillow...

Angel's message..

Mirhal:As the day brings you happiness I hope it becomes eternal,as the sun smiles at you I hope it will continue everyday,May all your wishes come true and may all your sorrows be washed away by an ocean even though an ocean is full of emotions it will still carry yours because you are special just the way you are.....

Happy birthday Mystery guy...
I wish you success in everything that you do....

Areef:Thank you..

Mirhal:Birthday things..

Mirhal:Never mind..

I smiled as I kept my phone aside and made my way outside to meet Amma and Minal cooking...

"Good morning": I smiled..

"It's already 12:00pm Ya Areef":Minal said looking at me..

"OMG I was very tired yesterday": I said ...

"Go and get ready it's nearly time for juma'a prayer":Amma smiled..

"And you know we are opening the restaurant at exactly 2:00pm right":Amma said smiling..

"Yes I know": I said walking off...

************

I wore my white kaftan which is my favorite,I wear it only on special occasions,it looks new because I don't use it often....

We went to the mosque with Zayd and we came back only to meet many people sitting down and gisting...

We made our way inside our house as we greeted the guests..

"Mirhal pass me those plates please":Amma said ...

Angel is already here...

I looked at her as she majestically carried the plates and passed it to Amma,she said something in Amma's ear and they bought laugh as Minal join them,my family likes her so much and that's enough for me,she was wearing a black gown that went with her skin and a white veil wrapped in an abaya style,she is totally modest,she was looking so cute as usual,she doesn't normally apply makeup but she looks cute naturally....

"Birthday guy":Minal said looking at me..

"What are you looking at":Minal asked suspiciously..

"Nothing serious, I was just watching you guys work": I smiled nervously..

"We are twinning":Mirhal said smiling..

"Yeah she is my twin":Minal hugged her...

"You two are looking beautiful": I smiled..

"Thank you":They said in unison as they walked to Amma to continue packing food....

:|:|:|:|:|:

"This food is really great":All the people chorused..

"Thank you so much,we are looking forward to having you in this restaurant of our named Amma's kitchen":Minal said smiling...

"Not only Amma's kitchen but Amma's kitchen and bakery":she said coming out with a black and white cake with "Happy birthday Areef" boldly written on it..

"Wow":The people chorused..

"So if you have any occasion that you need a cake you can proudly come to our Amma and order your cake,the recipe is different and even the decoration,we are looking forward to your orders":Mirhal said smiling...

"Come on":Minal said dragging me infront of the cake..

"Today is my brother's birthday":Minal said happily...

"Happy birthday":All the people chorused...

"Thank you": I smiled..

"Happy birthday":my family chorused along with Mirhal..

"Thank you so much when did you plan all this": I asked..

"It was Mirhal's idea":Minal smiled..

"So it's time to cut the cake":Mirhal said smiling...

"Let me snap a picture of the cake first":Mirhal said as she snapped the cake and then snapped many pictures of me and amma with Mirhal and Zayd and Afreen then she joined the picture...

I cut the cake as I fed Amma,Minal,Afreen And Zayd then finally Mirhal...

They shared the cake to everyone and all the people happily left saying that they will surely come back again..

"It was so exhausting":Amma said sitting down..

"And also interesting":Mirhal said smiling..

"Gift time":Minal said coming with a wrapped box..

"Happy birthday":She said handing me a gift..

"Happy birthday favorite":Amma said handing me her gift..

"Happy birthday Mystery guy":Mirhal said handing me a gift..

"Happy birthday big bro":Zayd and Afreen said handing me their gift..

"Thank you so much guys,you made my birthday the best": I said smiling whole heartedly..

"Let's have fun for our achievement":Minal shouted..

They played a song and started dancing along with Amma as I packed my gifts and made my way inside my room to open the gifts...
I opened the twins gift and it was a memo book with hearts on it,my book is nearly finished dama, I opened Minal's gift and it was a brand new shoe, I opened Amma's gift and it was an infinix phone...

Ohh Amma she must have spent all of her savings to buy this phone..

My first touch screen phone in my whole 24 years..

I opened Mirhal's gift and I was beyond shocked,a camera was well kept at one side of the box then painting materials,a paper was neatly kept at the other side of the box..

Life is different from fairy tales but it can surely reflect it,do what makes you happy and your life will come to you like an imagination that came true,chase your dreams and never let them go,take many pictures and post become a photographer of nature,paint as much as you can and write motivational words under,become a true architect of your own...The boards are beside your mattrass...Chase your dreams and make all of us proud....

•Mirhal•

I smiled as I neatly fold the paper and kept it inside my wardrobe, I looked at the board as I thought of fulfilling my dream which I thought will never become possible....

She is an Angel sent to me...

Birthday goals🎊...
Amma's kitchen and bakery🎂..

Mirhal and Areef send there kisses💋💋..
