Marriage with the enemy

B I R T H D A Y G I F T

Tomorrow is Nathan's birthday and I as his best friend, thinking about giving a birthday gift to him, doesn't make things easy for me. I know a lot about him.

His crazy collection of bottle caps, from when he was 5 year old
His collection of different coins.
How nicely he plays tennis.
His favorite color.

But what I can give to him. I am kinda broke.

Broke? Yes.
Why? Lemme tell you.

Every one thinks, I am a daughter of successful businessman then I should be loaded with money.

And my father should be taking care of all of my expenses.

But when I came to know about my father's hardwork, from when he was 14, I could not have taken his money, I mean he still pays my school fee, and I live here with my parents in this beautiful house. But that's it...

The name the fame is my dad's not mine and I cannot just make myself look better and outstanding with his name.
I will make my own name. So yeah till 15 I never declined for pocket money. I never asked for extra, but if one thing I wanted to learn from my dad was self dependency and I've learnt it.

I tutored online, I have been a life guard for 5 year old for 3 months, working retail, camp counselor, babysitting my neighbor for four months and currently I am working as a fashion designer (just for experience) for a boutique nearby.

My dad was adamant to not let me work and only focus on my studies, but he understood when I told him, I want to be like him. He was very happy. I still remember the day when I told him, I want to do a job.

It's 7 pm I am sitting in my room reading my favorite book, in my night suit. When I heard the front door opening.
