Cursed By Fate

Laura commenced work and didn’t bother to ask who dropped the flower since it was not any of her loved ones, so it might probably be one of her staff.

While working, her staff broke into her office to surprise her and wish her a happy birthday.

Laura’s staff cheered and sang “Happy Birthday” to her, breaking the silence. They had all been planning a surprise party for her, and the flowers were just the beginning. Laura’s face lit up with a smile as she hugged her staff and thanked them for remembering her special day.

As the day went on, Laura received more surprises, including a cake and a gift from her staff and some of the board of directors, Even, though it was obvious they don’t like her because she has refused to follow their commands regarding the company. She was touched by their thoughtfulness, and she felt grateful to have such a supportive team.

When it was lunch time, Laura went to a nearby eatery for lunch, just to make herself happy, but she didn’t feel any sense of happiness within her. She couldn’t eat what she bought but just had it packed, and she took it along with her to the office.

Despite the excitement of her birthday, Laura couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed that Carl and Carolina had forgotten. She tried to brush it off, thinking they were just busy, but she couldn’t help but feel a little hurt.

While she was working, her phone rang. It was Carolina. “Thank God, she finally remembered.” Laura felt a little bit relieved.

“Hello, Carolina,” Laura said. “I was about to feel like I don’t have a friend.”.

“What do you mean by that?” Carolina asked and didn’t wait for Laura to answer before she said, “I was about to inform you that you might not meet me at home by the time you get back from work because I will be going out.”.

“What?!! ” Laura exclaimed. “Where will you go?”she was about to ask Carolina where she was going before she hung up.

“Really!!!!” Is this the person I called my best friend?” Laura asked herself.

“She doesn’t even remember my birthday. I was even thinking of reminding her when I get home from work that she should make me dinner and spend time with me, but here she is telling me she is going to be out tonight, even saying where she was going to !!”

Laura was about to cry, but she just had to cheer herself up; it’s her birthday. Laura thought she was going to spend her birthday alone just the way she used to when she had no friend or boyfriend and her parents were always busy with work. She remembered that when she was small, her birthday was always a lonely one.

Meanwhile, Carl and Carolina had a big plan for her birthday. They were busy preparing a surprise birthday party for Laura. They had been planning it for weeks, and the big day had finally arrived.

Carl already took the day off at work and had planned it with Carolina over the phone. He had known Carolina not just yesterday but since the day he went to visit Laura, the day her mother died.

They had both planned to make her happy and to try their best not to make her miss her parents too much.

Carolina was busy decorating the living room with balloons and streamers, while Carl was cooking Laura’s favorite dinner in the kitchen.

“Is everything ready?” Carolina asked Carl, looking around at the decorations.

“Almost,” Carl replied, “I just need to finish baking the cake. And then we’ll be all set.”

Just then, the doorbell rang. It was the florist delivering a beautiful bouquet of flowers for Laura. Carl and Carolina exchanged an excited glance. Everything was falling into place.

As Laura drove home from work, she had no idea what was waiting for her. She was looking forward to a quiet evening at home, maybe watching a movie or reading a book.

But as she pulled into the driveway, she noticed something strange. The lights were on inside, and she could hear music playing. She got out of the car and walked up to the door, feeling a sense of curiosity.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

She remembered Carolina calling her to inform her that she was not going to be around by the time she got back from work, so she began to wonder if she actually changed her mind and brought someone home instead.

As she opened the door, she was met with a loud “surprise!” from Carl, Carolina, and all of their friends. The living room was filled with balloons, decorations, and a big banner that read, “Happy Birthday, Laura!”

Laura’s jaw dropped in shock as she took in the scene before her. She couldn’t believe they had all kept it a secret from her. Tears of joy filled her eyes as she hugged Carl and Carolina, feeling grateful for their love and support.

“I thought you guys forgot my birthday; I wasn’t myself throughout today.” Laura burst into tears like a baby.

“Awwww,” everyone felt emotional and burst into laughter.

“Happy birthday, Laura,” Carl whispered in her ear. “We wanted to make this day special for you.”

And with that, the party began. Laura was surrounded by the people she loved, and she felt like the luckiest person in the world, forgetting how she felt earlier.

As they celebrated and enjoyed the party, Laura couldn’t help but feel grateful for Carl and Carolina’s thoughtfulness. They had gone through so much trouble to make her birthday special, and it meant the world to her.

As they cut the cake and sang “Happy Birthday song,” Laura felt like she was on cloud nine. She knew she had found her perfect match in Carl, and she was excited to see what the future held for them.

And as they danced and celebrated into the night,

Laura knew that this was a birthday she would never forget.
