“Happy Birthday, Aisha!” Daddy chorused and hugged her to his body. She shrieked and hugged him back, she always had the best birthday in her life. Daddy made sure he made it back home whenever it was her birthday, it can be for a few hours before he travelled out of town again. But he had to be there when it clocked at midnight, on the 25th of March of every year.
Ilham moved towards her and hugged her, “Happy Birthday, Humaira. Please be a responsible girl, you’re no more a teenager.” Humaira laughed as Ilham pinched her cheeks.
“I promise to be a good girl, Ilham.” They all laughed because they knew Humaira would never be changed.
The maids came forwards one by one and began wishing her a happy birthday, she was all smiling today. And it looked good on her, not her usual cold smiles
