?Elva’s POV
Wow…it had been so easy to have being deceived by them.
They would have probably laughed at how dumb i am.
Woah..
My eyes stung with anger,how could they lie to me?
I kept telling them i hear a voice singing but they just kept on bringing up excuses.
If i hadn’t found this book,i wouldn’t have known Mig was the owner of that voice.
Why would he hide that?
I heard the door open and gazed up.
Fleur walked in slowly, looked down and rushed to Mig immediately.
“How could i have forgotten to check the weather forecast again” She said worriedly.
I glanced at her feeling hurt they could lie to me.
“Thanks Elva…” She said and i stood up.
“What’s wro..” She was saying.
“How do you explain this and the voice i normally hear?” I asked throwing the song book on the table before walking to my room.
?Fleur’s POV?
I quickly flipped the book open.
This is Mig’s song book… she has found out about Mig being the owner of the voice.
We should have just told her earlier,i know she’s angry right now for being lied to but it was to protect Mig.
Ahh…How could he be this careless?
She looked so hurt, apologising to her is gonna be hard.
I turned to look at Mig stirring beside me.
He flipped his eyes open and sat up.
“Are you okay?” I asked and he nodded rubbing his hair.
“Why did you take so long,if Elva hadn’t arrived on time,i don’t know what would have happened”
“I’m sorry..I was on my way home when i was called back for an emergency.. let’s keep that aside for now. Elva is pissed at us” I said.
“What..Why?” He asked and i threw the song book at him.
He stared at me, confused.
“She has found out you are own that voice and she’s pissed at us for lying to her” I said and his eyes widened.
“Darn it! I was just planning to tell her tomorrow ” He said getting up.
“Really?” I asked.
“Of course..I was planning to also move my piano to the garden” He said and i sighed.
“What are we gonna do now?” I asked.
“Come with me ” He said and took my hand, pulling me towards Elva’s door.
We got there and he knocked twice.
“Elva open the door,just let me explain” He said.
“There is nothing to explain,you both didn’t trust me enough to tell me the truth so i don’t think there is anything to explain” Elva said, the hurt in her voice was noticeable.
“Please hear us out first” I said, twisting the knob but i realised she had locked the door from inside.
“Elva..just open the door,then you can close it after i’ve explained” Mig said.
“I don’t need your explanation,you won’t even have told me if i hadn’t find out anyway” She said.
“No i was planning to tell you and please keep Fleur put of this,i was the one who forced her to lie to you,she didn’t had the intention to do that” Mig said.
“Elva, open this freaking door. We are sorry” I said.
“You guys should just leave for now. I’m not ready to hear your explanation. I’m so hurt.
Please just leave” She said.
“Elva we are sorry,if only you could hear us out. We didn’t lie to you intentionally,we had reasons for doing so ” Mig said and i nodded.
“And i also have reasons for telling you both to leave my door..leave!” She yelled.
” If you don’t want to listen to us..fine!” I said pulling Mig towards the living room but we suddenly heard a door open and we turned back.
Elva stepped out of her room with her eyes looking puffy and we knew she had been crying.
She stared at her feet,with her long hair covering her whole face.
Mig and i rushed to her,then pulled her into a hug.
“Elva we are sorry” We said and she sniffled.
” It’s fine and i’m sorry for not wanting to hear you out,i know you both had your reasons for doing that” She said and i smiled.
“Thanks for forgiving us Elva,we are gonna explain everything to you” I said and she nodded.
“I was planning to tell you today, i love you and i can’t hide things from you” Mig said and Elva’s face lit up in a smile.
What’s actually going on between this two.
I cleared my throat.
“I’m starving” I groaned.
“I made meat loaf” Mig said and i smiled.
“Come Elva,lets go have lunch then we will tell you the reason why we had to lie to you” I said pulling her towards the dining room.
??
?Elva’s POV?
“Whoa it’s getting dark” Mig said.
We were all sitting in the living room after eating meatloaf, they’ve told me the reason why they had to lie to me and i perfectly understand.
I felt guilty for misjudging them earlier, everything is back to normal, we played like we used to so we are good now.
Whoa…I’ve almost forgotten about the cake and the things i bought.
It’s night already so i gotta start.
“Yeah..the night came quite quick today” Fleur said.
“Guys, can you please go to your room till i ask you to come out” I said and they gave me questioning glances.
“Please guys..i got something to show you both. Just go into your rooms and I’m gonna tell you to come out later” I said.
“Hm..Im having this good feeling” Fleur said and i smiled.
They both stood up..
“I’m looking forward to what you wanna show us” Mig said and they both walked to their rooms.
I stood up and bounced happily to my room.
I closed the door behind me.
“First thing i need to do is get dressed” I muttered.
***
Few minutes later,I’ve gotten dressed in a black jumpsuit,i applied a little make up and wore the pretty earrings i bought for myself.
I brushed my hair and styled it in a way that it bounced down to my waist.
I know I’m stunning even with the little make up i wore.
I grinned happily as i carried the cake to the living room.
I shifted the table to the center and placed the cake on it.
I brought out the two red wines i bought and placed each beside the cake.
Mig and Fleur’s gift is wrapped already,i also placed them on the table.
I arranged the living room and sighed satisfactorily,i switched off the light bulb making everywhere dark before i called on Mig and Fleur.
“You guys can come now” I shouted from the living room, standing beside the light switch,i plan to switch it on immediately they walk into the living room.
I heard the door of their rooms open and close, followed by footsteps.
I stood anxiously and smiled when i saw the both of them walk into the living room.
“Why is everywhere dar…” Fleur was saying before i switched on the light.
A look of surprise crossed their faces as they stared at me and the table.
“W..wha..”
“I want to appreciate you guys for being there for me,for accommodating me even without knowing who i am,for clothing me,feeding me,for making me even forget that i have a family somewhere,for making me your family. Thanks so much guys for everything,i love you and you both will forever remain my family” I concluded and gave them a hug.
“Wow!” Fleur sighed, hugging me tighter.
” Geez…Elva,seriously..i don’t know what to say,you succeeded in surprising us. Thanks for spending so much just to appreciate us” Mig said pecking me lightly.
“Thanks so much Elva,i can’t believe you did this..it’s more than ‘Wow’ ” Fleur said.
“It’s nothing compared to what you guys have done for me.
Consider this a token..i would have done more if i could..you guys are the nicest people i’ve met” I said.
“Wow..and you are looking more beautiful tonight” Mig complimented and i blushed slightly.
“Thanks Mig,i just thought i could do with a little make up for this special night” I said.
“But all these must sure cost a lot” Fleur said.
“Not at all…i still have some money left” I said.
“Really?”
“Yeah”
“They probably sold it for you at a cheap rate,considering how beautiful you are” Mig said and i chuckled.
“So guys i got this for you” I said picking their presents.
I handed Fleur hers and Mig his.
Fleur didn’t waste time in unwrapping her present.
“Oh my God!” She screamed excitedly jumping on me..we both fell to the floor almost tripping the cake but Mig had to quickly move it out of the way.
I laughed.
“And i was just thinking of going to get it. Thanks so much Elva, you’re so amazing” She said excitedly…
“You are welcome Fleur but you’re suffocating me” I said and she quickly stood up from my body, letting out a chuckle.
I sighed.
“Thanks so much Elva” She repeated and quickly tried on the shoes which fit her perfectly.
She walked around the room with her face full of smiles.
Mig giggled.
“Now let’s check mine” He said and started unwrapping his gift.
I stood back anxiously,hoping he’s gonna like the headphone i got for him.
He finally unwrapped it and i saw a smile lit up his cute face.
I sighed in relief.
“OMG…I love you” He said and i was surprised when he lifted me up, circling the table.
I laughed in excitement, enjoying the feeling.
“Thanks so much Elva” He whispered and placed a kss on my lips before dropping me back to the floor.
“I’m so happy you guys loved my gifts” I said.
“Of course we would” Fleur said still checking out her new shoes.
“I so much love this headphone..it looks cool and cute, i’ve had some in the past but none were as cool as this. Were you aware i love music?” Mig asked and i looked over to Fleur who grinned widely.
Mig followed my gaze.
“Ohh..Drama queen told you” He said to me quietly and i chuckled.
“I have another gift for us” I said and brought out the three T-SHIRTS.
“Wow!” They exclaimed.
“Tons of surprises tonight” Fleur said.
I smiled and handed Mig the blue one,passed Fleur the pink one and i also held the second pink T-SHIRT.
“Wow..I gotta put it on now” Mig said and wore it over his top.
“It looks great on you” I said.
“Of course it will,i gat a perfect body” He boasted and Fleur twitched her nose making me laugh.
Fleur put on hers and i also put on mine.
“Now we look like one big family” Fleur muttered and we all grinned.
“So about the celebration,i can’t wait to taste that cake” Fleur said and Mig shook his head.
“Food monger” He whispered behind her head and i laughed.
“So let’s cut the cake ..” I was saying before Fleur cut in.
“I have a suggestion” She said.
“What suggestion?” Mig and i asked.
“Why don’t we celebrate this in the garden” She said.
“Yes…why didn’t we think of that..” I said excitedly..
“It’s gonna be great” Mig said.
“So plan planner,carry the cake while i carry the wines. Then Elva should come along with the mat” Mig said.
“Hm..I love the name plan planner,it sure suits me” Fleur grinned.
“Now let’s go party!” She said lifting the cake and rushing off to the garden.
??
We sat in the garden, chatting and eating the delicious cake.
Fleur has almost finished her portion and I’m sure she’s gonna cut more slices.. haha.
“What a beautiful night” Mig said and we all glanced up looking at the sky.
“Yes it is” I said.
“Let’s open the wine” Fleur said with a mouthful pushing her cup forward.
Mig grabbed the wine,we squealed in excitement as he popped it open.
He poured into our cups each.
“Now let’s toast” Fleur said.
“To what?” I asked.
“To our everlasting love for one another” Mig said.
“Cheers” We said,raised our glass cups before clicking it together.
We downed the wine in one gulp and we poured more in our cups.
We emptied the wine bottles,Fleur and i are starting to get tipsy.
I laid flat on the grass and closed my eyes knowing that’s the end of the night.
?Next Morning?
“Damn…you both should get up and go get ready for work it’s 8am” I heard in my sleep and suddenly felt taps on my shoulder.
My eyes popped open looking around.
I noticed the ground is wet beneath my body.
I saw Fleur, asleep beside me.
“Elva..get up it’s 8am, aren’t you going to work” I heard and turned to see Mig.
He started tapping Fleur on her back and she yawned loudly as she got up.
I rubbed my eyes and it nearly popped out of it’s socket when i noticed we slept in the garden overnight.
Damn..I didn’t know the wine was quite strong.
“Geez!!” I heard Fleur screamed loudly and turned.
“Elva it’s 8am,our resumption time” Fleur said and this time. My eyes popped out of it’s socket.
We both stood up quickly and rushed inside the house, pushing each other and falling down in the process.
I heard Mig’s laughter trail behind us.
Geez..
