Narrator:
She woke up, looked at the clock on her room, it was 3:00 AM in the morning. She was going to do her morning routine but she saw a small card, confused she went to read what it was. Oh, she forgot again, today it was April 5, she already know what that means? It was a special day for her, it was nothing more and nothing less than her birthday
She threw the card in the trash can down her desk. How strange, she should feel happy, but she didn't felt illusion or happiness, she didn't feel anything on special days for 5 years, she didn't feel like celebrating or being with anyone at any time. She went at the bathroom to wash her face and hands and fix her hair, she looked at herself in the mirror
She did not have a healthy look for just saying..
Her skin was pale in excess, she had slight eyebags, and that usual shine that she had in her eyes was replaced by lifeless ones. She no longer looked like that girl everyone used to know, it was like another girl took of her body...
The brunette girl just sighed and started doing what she proposed, she didn't care, I guess her old self died long time ago, right?
After finishing getting ready at least a bit, she noticed that her parents were still sleeping, she went to the kitchen to make breakfast by herself and start a day without purpose as always, until...
What was that sound?
It was a sound of water
The girl's eyes widened, don't tell me she forgot to turn off the tap, her parents would scold her! She towards said pot, but stopped when she saw a cupcake on her table, who did that? She definitely didn't, she just got up. perhaps they were the work of their parents like the card already thrown? She was going to turn off the tap but she froze when she saw... Someone...
"Oh sorry, did I wake you up?"
He asked calmly washing a knife with a smile, what was going on? The birthday girl processed what she was seeing, the boy turned off the tap, finished his family's task, heading to the table
"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up! You know this damn faucet is so noisy, I told Dad to change it but he didn't want to.. Oh no, you saw my surprise! Damn, I wanted you to start a good morning with a surprise... It's fine, you were still going to find out, right?"
The boy laughed, wiping the knife with a kitchen rag, Sofia couldn't stop looking at him, it had to be a dream, it definitely had to be. This just couldn't be real, because he was...
"Come here, sit with me and let's have breakfast. Come on, before Mom and Dad comes in and take away our comfortable privacy!"
He exclaimed still waiting for her with a smile, the girl listened nervous, he looked exactly like the day he left... was this his spirit?.. No, ghosts weren't real, right? The brunette boy grabbed the cupcake with the candle lit in the center, he subtly brought it closer
"Come on, sis.. Make a wish to make it come true today!"
He exclaimed with illusion in his unique voice, the girl looked at the fire of the candle moving fluidly for a few seconds thinking about the wish, she took a deep breath and gently blew it off, her opposite put the cupcake on the table and applauded without being noisy congratulating his sister
"Great, now it will be fulfilled! Tell me what you asked for? No wait! Don't tell me! That way the wish would be broken- Anyway... I hope you don't mind if we share the "breakfast-surprise"✨ right?"
He looked into her eyes with serenity waiting about to cut the cupcake in 2 for both of them, he was waiting for Sofia's answer
"...O-Of course not! We're brothers, and brothers share e-everything, right?"
