Someone knocked on my office door this afternoon while I was working.
I opened the door...
Only for me to see my colleague standing there with one fine cake in her hand.
Before I could even ask anything, she stretched the cake toward me.
AHH!
I said: “Wait o… today is not my birthday na!”
She started laughing and said: “I know. My birthday is tomorrow, but since tomorrow is Saturday, I decided to bring the cake today so everyone in the office can celebrate with me. The manager said I should give it to you so you’ll help me share it during lunch break.”
Awwww!
I collected the cake and hugged her immediately.
I said: “Happy birthday in advance!”
She smiled and said thank you.
As she wanted to leave my office, I jokingly asked: “So… where are we turning up tomorrow?”
The smile on her face just reduced small.
Then she said: “Honestly, there won’t be any party again.”
I asked: “Why na?”
She now explained that she recently moved in here and all her family members are far away.
According to her, she had already ordered food trays, small chops and drinks before realizing she would just spend the birthday alone.
Then she said after work, she was planning to call the vendor and cancel everything.
Ahhh!
Like she wants to cancel food trays… small chops… and drinks??
No nah!
Immediately, I looked at her straight and asked: “Who told you your family is not here?”
The way this girl looked at me ehn... I knew she didn’t expect that.
Before she could even talk, I pulled a chair for her inside my office.
I said: “See ehn… from today, I am your sister in this city. Don’t cancel anything.”
Her face changed immediately.
She said: “Are you serious??”
I said: “Very serious. Birthday comes once a year. You will not stay indoors and be lonely while I’m here.”
This girl jumped up! She was so happy.
She kept saying: “Thank you so much… I really thought I was going to spend tomorrow alone.”
I then told her: “Tomorrow morning, expect me in your house. We are partying properly.”
She thanked me again and said she would have to tell the food vendor to bring everything early tomorrow morning.
I said: “Yes oo! Very early abeg...
We don’t do late night parties in our family.”
Happy birthday in advance, my sister from another mother.
Tomorrow, we party well, my blood! ❤️😂😂
