Once Upon a Birthday

I see cake, I see candles..Uhh..Uhh..Uhh..balloons-pink, purple, red, blue, yellow..
'Mommy, mommy..I want a chocolate cake with a princess on top. Oh ya, and lots and lots of present.'
Mommy smile..Little birthday girl keep on saying all the colourful and wonderful things she want for her birthday...

Everything seems happy and wonderful back then..when mommy was around on her birthday..and mommy will make sure everything goes right for her little one..

Oh, how she wish she can to turn back when everything seem so right on her special day..


3 birthdays passes without mommy by her side..
It was hurtful and sad knowing the fact that her family was not around her, wishing and celebrating with her..


But during the three birthdays, people around her appear to be the decoration that paint a sweet smile on her face..


Three sweet and pretty cakes(well two actually but..nvm) that she ate with joy. Pretty pink candles with white stripes(or the other way round) decorate the cake and the best part was the candles increases every birthday, which tells her that she's not getting younger. Her face look like she's 17 years old though..

As time passes by, she began to realize that birthday is just another celebration, not a celebration of her being in this world for 20 years, but a celebration of her being away from her family. You can see how ironically the word 'celebration' means to her. Celebration I suppose is the word that describe happiness but this word means the opposite to her.

Like every other birthdays(for the pass 3 years), she spend every second of her time wishing the only thing that she ever wish could come true. All the sweets an colours are nothing to her on this special day. The only present she crave for is a hug from her mother. Missing the hug of her mother..so warm, so safe...long to see the sweetest smile drawn on her mother's face. Missing her mother's voice saying, 'my girl is all grown up now .' 

As she lost in her little gloomy world, crystal-like liquid begins to clump on he big round eyes. 'Don't,' she said. 'If you start now, you're never gonna stop.'...But slowly, tears runs upon her chubby cheek. And ya, it never did stop... 

How she wish she could turn back the time where birthdays were butterflies...where she can see rainbows on birthday cakes...where she can see balloons fly happily... and where she can see her mommy smiling at her...
