Then she wanted to avenge her parents but then she got to know she was in coma for 6 months and

their parent's murder, her uncle was prisoned...She had nothing left there she didn't wanted to live there so she left the

place and started a new journey from the village blue Rose...

Today's my birthday and...

"Tiffany come down please"

"Yes mom what is it?"

"Cake's ready, see do you like it?"

"Yeah mom i like it so much"

"Come lets decorate it together, you do the

piping I'll prepare the flowers on top of it okay baby?"

"okay mom"

We starting to do the decoration but to be honest when i saw the cake i was surprised, i thought how much efforts she put in it cuz it was 2 tier cake, and...and it had two flavors actually, i never saw her making 2 tier cake and the smile on her face it's so relaxing... Then she starting talking to me, with that relaxing smile

"Tiffany your dad won't be able to come he is too busy"

I could feel the sadness behind her smile while saying that, but i am actually not sad. Because my dad rarely comes home he has been working abroad and surprisingly he works in a well known company, he gives us phone calls twice or thrice a month tho, I don't like him much cuz i don't think he care for us because who even wants a dad who can't even come to meet us, because only work is more important for him then us, and honestly i never got daddy vibes from him.

"baby is your friends or Eric coming this time?"

"No mom, i have only 2 friends, actually

erza had turned out to be an toxic friend, she

was the one who was behind all those misunderstandings, and Carla she's on vacation with her family."

"Owh you never said me about erza's matter?"

"I just didn't want to bother you with it"

"oh"

"hm"

*sudden awkward silence took place*

"ah, and that child eric?"

"I don't know about him mom"

Actually now i find him very strange, like we met 5 years ago, tho we were good

friends we are not even in contact with each

other but he still sends me gifts every year

on my birthday since we last met. Mails and

texts i even send letters but as usual no replies. Only he sends a letter on my birthday but every year it's the same text "happy birthday my taffiny and.." thats all he writes. I don't know why he send incomplete words well when we were younger it was like his habit to write incomplete sentence, but still now when we have grown up, i always sense something wrong in it. Because his parents died early he had to be orphan in young age, that is why he used always avoid people, being a quite kid, not thinking about the world. Sign now i really miss him....

"ah, cake decoration done! Mom this time private party only between u and me yeah?"

After i said this mom started being emotional and filled with tears,

"if today your brother would there your

birthday would have been more special sobb...sob.."

"mom why are you crying? brother is there

he is happy up there looking at us don't cry,

it's my birthday today please..."

"oh i am sorry baby *wipes the tears* "

After three hours Time- 1 pm

Oh, it finally came i think what he sent this time

*opens the gift and takes a look*

A book? there's nothing written in it? what the-...he sent me a book with blank pages?? Does make sense...

*opens the letter and reads*

"Tanu happy birthday and..."

It's weird...so weird this time i should seriously go through it how's he and what's happening in his life....

Time-9pm

Mom gave me a beautiful dress and she even have a card and it was so beautiful she designed it herself, she wrote "my little angel is growing up, on your 18th birthday i wish you 1000 years of life..Happy birthday my angel"; i didn't expect this she really made me smile now we are done celebrating, she went to sleep in her room...and i came to my room....still thinking about eric, i have to get up early and dive in to the main thing...

...~Next Morning~...

Well i remember he went zoakin city for the studies. So i guess i have an idea where to search for him..

...~After 1 hour (packing)~...

"Mom-"

"where are you going this early morning?"

"Mom i was about to say, i am going to zoakin city to look for Eric"

"zoakin city!? isn't it so far?"

"No mom it's about 360 kilometres"

"hm.how many days will u stay?"

"i am going to meet him after many days so i would like to stay for some days"

"hm"

"Okay then mom ll get going'

"Safe journey, call me once you reach"

"yeah"

So after telling mom i left..andi reached at night so i thought of resting tonight ina hotel cuz finding him would take long since i don't know his address.

...~Next Morning~...

I knew his school college name, so i went to meet school arranger. And guess what they said he dont study here, i asked about his address but they said they don't know that, i asked if anyone there who knows about his whereabouts, they said they dont know that either. it felt strange i tried asking in some other colleges too but they said there's no child with that identity i gave, i finalized to ask in the police station, they took identity of his from me, and said they'll let me know soon, i had no other choice but to go to hotel back being disappointed, i thought for sometime how can he dissapear like this, his phone number says it's not valid anymore, his school says they have no records of him, nobody knows about his whereabouts, thats so strange. I agree he was an introvert but it's not like he don't even have a single friend, someone at least.

Then a thought came to my mind that he might have some medical records right! he might have gone to hospital someday, i couldn't wait for the police's information so i directly went to some hospitals, i asked in some of them they kept saying there's no person's record with the information i gave, at last i went to an hospital where they said there were 3 people admitted with the name Eric Christopher,

Then i said "Eric Christopher age 18? do you have his record?"

They said. "18 years old? No, we have records of Eric of 14 year and 27 year, we don't have any records of the person you said"

After hearing what they said I got disappointed again, where i found a trace of hope that also lost. then i thought it there was a boy admitted of 14 year old this could be that he never got any disease to be admitted for 5 years...
