7 Chapter 7: Novies birthday (2/2)

All the rage in her body disappeared after seeing the surprise inside.

His room was full of colourful balloons and a banner saying ”Happy 30th birthday” she gasped and entered his room.

Her brother picks up the cake from the table and walks to her direction, her parents also entered the room.

”Happy birthday Novie” her parents greeted her.

She was in tears; she knows that it's her birthday, but she was not expecting them to celebrate it.

”Gosh! What is this?” she asked as she wipes her tears.

”Blow the candle now,” her brother asked, she happily blows the candle and smiled at them.

”Thank you so much, this is so wonderful” she spoke in tears.

Meanwhile, after Novie blow the candle, Brent removed the candle from the cake while his lips curved up. He bakes the cake by himself in his apartment and his sister was not aware of it. When he saw his parents leaving the room, he grabbed his sister's arms to face him.

He knows Novie; they have a birthday tradition and it is to let the birthday person finish half of the cake in less than 10 minutes or else one will be a slave to another.

They proceed to the living room, Brent put the cake on the centre table and took his phone out to set the timer, their mother was busy taking a video while his father turned the television on and watch the news.

Novie prepared herself and picks up the big spoon that her mother gave.

”ready.. start” Brent signalled and at that moment, Novie took a big slice and devour it.

The cake is a strawberry flavour, but it's too big that she could not finish the quart.

Her mother handed her the water and after drinking, she took the spoon and took a big slice.

Her eyebrow creased after she finished half of the cake, she stops and noticed the box in the middle.

When she turned to her brother, a big smile plastered on his lips.

”What is this?” she asked, suspicious.

”Open it” Brent replied and handed her the small rectangular box.

Slowly, her hand opened it, her eyes widened after seeing a key inside.

”Whoa!, this is either a key for a car or house, so which one?” she switched her round eyes to her family.

”Why don't you go outside?” her brother asked. Her lips parted with excitement.

”Oh god! I am getting a car?” she said with excitement but no one replied, they went outside but she didn't see a car anywhere, then her brother opened the gate, she gulped and walked side by him but before she could see the surprise her brother asked him to close her eyes.

(Oh my god car! Car! Car!) she keeps yelling inside.
