"Happy birthday!" The shouts erupted everywhere around me as the lights came back on

"Happy birthday!" The shouts erupted everywhere around me as the lights came back on. I should have known! My friends had thrown me a surprise party. I came with Melissa as she had already planned to give me a treat on my birthday. But as soon as we entered the restaurant it was pitch black and the next second I saw more than a dozen of my other friends standing in front of me with a cake.

"Oh my god, you guys!" I said engulfing them in a hug. After expressing my gratitude we all sat enjoying the dinner when I received a text.

Aariz:
Send me your location. I'll pick
you up.

Me:
I'm out with my friends and
as far as I remember we
didn't have any plans?

Aariz:
Now we do. Wrap it up fast
and let me know.

After another hour, Aariz picked me up, "At least tell me where we are going?"

"How will it be a surprise if I tell you?" Aariz sighed.

"How's your work going?" He questioned. "Perfect. Living my dream life that I wanted."

Next as expected I started blabbering all about my new work like a little girl with a candy, "Uff, I liked you better when you talked less. What did he do that you're back to being a chatterbox."

"Nothing. It's just after talking to him I feel a lot lighter." I admitted. I wasn't the calm person as I was showing to everyone on the exterior. My world had turned upside down after hearing Zain's confessions.

It felt weirdly calming how our destinies had played for itself since our first meet. I still couldn't believe it. But this was it, my french love was my Zain and the thought itself made me smile like a child.

He had been apologizing every single day for over two weeks so I had forgiven him specially after knowing his reasons and I couldn't be mad either as I was the one who broke our engagement not him.
