You opened your eyes as the sunlight shone through your light colored curtain. It was not much but enough to wake you up. You groaned as you were too lazy to wake up. You looked at your phone to see what time it was. It was 8:00. You slammed the phone to the bed and you threw yourself to the other side as you groaned again. You put your arm over your eyes and began to think about today’s schedule. You had no part time today and tomorrow, so you were free to do anything. No appointments, no promises so you decided to get a longer sleep while you could. However, your phone rang and it really annoyed you so you quickly clicked any button to stop the sound. When you succeed, you tossed to your side and took the phone, it was a message.

The message was from one of your best friends and it said: ‘My dear sweetie, (name)~~ Happy Birthday to you~!! ’

It took some time to register what it said as you were just awoken. When you did, you replied her ‘thanks’ with some smiley too and sent it. You sighed. So it was your birthday again. It’s not that you weren’t happy about it, it’s just that… somehow, your birthday became something you would be sad about. You had been in Italy for more than two years since your high school. Your parents had wanted you to continue your study abroad just like your other siblings. You had prepared yourself for this of course, since you had seen your siblings got the same fate as well. So now you had been away from your parents and family since you entered high school and since then you never celebrated your birthday party with them. When it was your birthday, it was the busiest time for them.

And now, even though you already had a boyfriend and usually celebrated it with you since you dated, he was in a faraway town by now. He told you that his family moved there so he had to move too. Even if he was still in Italy, it just felt far away. He didn’t lose contact with you for sure. If he had the chance he would call you and you were very happy just to hear his cheery voice.

So in your current state, no one would celebrate it with you. It just felt a little bit sad. You used to have a birthday party with your friends but now you didn’t.

When you heard another rang from your phone and looked at it, it was another message, wishing you a happy birthday. You did the same act to thanks him/her and when you were done, you got up and threw your blanket off your legs. You sat silently there for some moments before you brought your feet to the floor and did your daily things.

Time passed and it was midday already. You had received many birthday greetings from your friends and your family. It had been a habit for them to just congratulate you by texts so you had gotten used to it. You threw yourself to the couch and were thinking of what you should do next. It was midday and you didn’t have anything to cook for lunch today. You forgot to buy it yesterday. You were thinking of where you should go to eat. You laid your body on the couch and were playing with your phone, twirling it around your hand and fingers. Then for what it felt like the hundredth time the phone rang, it rang a different kind of music. You sat up immediately, knowing whose ringtone it was. You click the button and saw the message from your one and only boyfriend, Feliciano Vargas.

‘(Name), bella~ Buon compleanno~ I wish you had a really good day today! Sorry I can’t go to you right now, but I promise to get you a present! Just look forward to it, bella~ I’m sure you like it!

Bye for now J

- Feliciano’

Seeing his texts made you giggled. You could imagine how his face was when he typed this. He was the most cheerful person you had ever met in your life. He mostly smiled and acted like an innocent child. He easily cried over silly things but he was kind and caring. He was mostly opposite to his older brother, Lovino, whom you had met a while after you two dated. Let’s not talk about him right now, so putting that aside, you felt half joy and half sadness in your heart. You were happy that Feliciano didn’t forget about your birthday, but you also felt sad that he could come. You thought that it was selfish to force him come here just for you, when he had things to do there. You were just being grateful that he texted you like others.

You held the phone close to your chest before you got up, taking your coat and purse then went outside for lunch. You locked the door and you decided to walk since it was not that far.

After you had lunch, you walked around shops either window shopping or really buying the stuff. There were a lot of things that tempted you but most of them just cost too much, while you have to manage your money to survive until the next pay day. You bought some cozy clothes and you also bought food. When the sky was getting dark, you started to walk home.

On your way, you saw people in groups, enjoying each other company. You stared at them as you walked and then you just sighed at the scene. You were jealous of them. You really missed the time when you could do that with friends or family. You missed to chat along the way and forgot about your tiredness when walking. You missed to discuss about things you should or shouldn’t buy. You missed to talk about whoever you saw on the way with your friends.

You looked down, not wanting to add your sorrow anymore. You were just walking alone and carrying your stuff alone. It was sad, but you endured it. You often motivated and encouraged yourself when you were feeling down like this.

The stuff you carried had begun to feel heavy as you got nearer to your house. Come on, just little bit.

You walked quicker to get to your house faster. When you came close to your house, something was strange…

You slowed your pace and looked at a car in front of your house. It was not yours and you didn’t recognize the car and the number. It was pretty, but whose it was? Just a random person, perhaps? You shrugged and walked to your front door. You put down the bags and looked for your keys. You found them and slid it, but you couldn’t turn it. “Huh?” that’s strange. Was it broken? You tried again but it didn’t do. Then you tried to just turn the knob and it was opened. You froze for a while, shocked. You were sure that you locked your door before you left, so if it was opened now, then there must be someone, a thief, in your house.

You were scared and thought of any possibilities. You slowly took a bat from behind the bushes and took a step inside your house. Your hands and legs were shaky but your dare yourself to face it. When you entered, the lights were all on and the television was on too. The thief sure was enjoying stay in your house, heh? You took another step very slowly so you wouldn’t make any noise. When you heard flush from your first floor toilet, you whipped your head right away. Okay, now you thought that the thief was way too relax in your house. You moved to the side of the toilet door to wait for it and just hit him. Your heart beat faster than ever because you were scared and nervous.

When the door’s opened and the person came out, you automatically screamed as you swung the bat to the person from above. However, when the bat was just some inches from the person’s head, you realized who it was and tried your best to stop it. That’s it before the bat gave a hit to the person’s head. It’s not as hard as you intended to be though. And the person screamed loudly.

“Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! I’m sorry! Please don’t hit me again! I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I’ll do anything just please don’t hit me!”

You stared at the person and called, “Feli, what are you doing here?!”

Hearing your voice, the man looked up and he wore his smile again, “Oh, bella, it’s just you~ I thought it was some bad people~”

“That’s what I thought. I thought you were a thief. Why don’t you tell me that you’re coming?! Wait, answer this first, aren’t you supposed to be busy?”

“Hee… you don’t want me here?” his smile fell.

“No, it’s not that! It’s just… I thought you can’t come here…” your voice became smaller and smaller.

Feliciano smiled again and then hugging you as he patted your head, “Why can’t I come to meet mia bella ragazza when it’s her birthday? Hm?”

“W-well… you have things to do…”

“But that’s not enough to stop me from coming here. Why? You aren’t happy?” he asked as he released you from his hug and bent so his eyes were at the same level as yours.

You just stayed silent and didn’t dare enough to look at his eyes. You felt that tears were coming to your eyes and you didn’t hold it back anymore. You cried there. The feelings that you got from him was too much you couldn’t handle it anymore. He was too nice…

“B-bella? Don’t cry, I’m sorry, please don’t cry,” he seemed to be shocked to see your face.

“N-No…” you started as you wiped the tears, “I- I’m just r-really happy. I thought that… I’m going to pass this day alone again. And when I see you’re here… I can’t help but really happy…”

Feliciano sighed and helped you wiped the tears, “Now, now, let’s smile, how about I make some pasta for dinner, hm?” You just nodded and smiled like he wanted. He smiled too and held your hand, leading you to the front room. You then remembered that your groceries were still outside so you went outside, took them and locked the door again. Feliciano was waiting for you at the kitchen door and just by looking at him made your mood up again.

So you cooked, ate and then spent time together. You sat beside him with your head leaned on his shoulder. It was so relaxing. At least your heart had eased a bit. You looked at the clock and saw that it was late already. “Feli, aren’t you going home? Don’t you have work or anything?” You asked, still leaning on him. He looked at you and said, “I’m permitted to have a day off so I’ll be staying in your house tonight. How about that?” That made your heart felt like flying and your face brightened up. There’s no way you wouldn’t want that. “That would be really nice, Feli!”

He smiled and said, “Ah, can you move a bit, bella?” so you sat straight again and saw him took something from his pocket. It was a box, just a simple box wrapped with a ribbon, but still pretty. You locked your eyes at the box as he moved it in front of you and then said, “Buon compleanno, bella. I promise to get you a present, right? Here it is.”

You took the box slowly and opened the box. Inside was a bracelet. The bracelet was decorated with your birth stone and your name. It looked really pretty. “Let me put it on,” Feli said and he put it on your wrist. You stared at your wrist, it sure was pretty and matched with your skin. You then hugged him and mumbled, “Grazie, Feliciano Vargas. I really appreciate it.” and after you released him, you said, “Though you really don’t have to do this. When I saw you, I already had my present.”

He was confused at first, but when he understood, he chuckled, “That’s good then.”

He leaned in to kiss you and you accepted that soft kiss of his. After that, you both talked until it was really late then you went to sleep.

```

On the next morning, you ate breakfast with him and then you went outside to check your mails. There were some but then one attracted your eyes. It was a light blue envelope and when you saw the sender, your eyes went wide then you hurriedly went inside the house, calling for Feliciano loudly.

“Vee! Bella, what happen?!” he replied.

“Here, see this! See this!” you said with a big smile on your face as you held up the envelope with your hands in front of his face. “What is it?” he asked. “It’s from my parents!! It’s been a long time since I last received from them!” you exclaimed and then you started to open it and read it. As you read, your eyes went wider and wider and your smile never left your face. After you read all of it, you jumped happily hugged Feliciano tightly.

“My parents are coming this weekend! They said they want to hold a party here for my birthday!!”

Hearing that, he twirled around with you in his hug and said, “That’s so nice, bella!”

After a while he set you down and you said, “It is, Feli!! I’m really happy right now, this is the best present. Ever!!”
