“Really? When?”. she asked.

” Um, is actually today”. Linda said and Maya went surprised.

“Today? Today is his birthday?” she asked curiously and they nod their heads. “Really? That’s great, is never too late, let’s make a plan for it”.

” Um, I don’t think so”.Amma said.

“Why?” Maya asked.

“You–” he got interrupted.

“Don’t make my efforts worthless, I had to take permission from work to make you this cake, I know, and I totally understand you don’t like celebrating your birthday and I have no reason to ask or judge you, you and I may not be in good terms but I still care because you once care for me. Birthdays are a thing of joy and they happened once a year, that’s why it is meant to be celebrated if you make a wish now, your pain and suffering will go away forever”. she said smiling.” Come on, make a wish, you just have thirty seconds left”. She said.

Happy birthday”. she cut a little piece and place it in his mouth and Jayden also feed her with some pieces, then the maids came out and started cheering and clapping for him. Jayden smiled at them. ” So, what did you wish for?”.

“You wanna know my wish?” he questioned and Maya nodded. “Ok, I didn’t only wish for one thing, I made three wishes and you are to grant them for me”.

” Me? why?”

“Because you made me break the rules I have hidden for years now, so you are going to grant them”. he said and Maya sigh confusedly at him.

” He never let things out for free, what a cunning man”. she grunts and walks away.
