THE BIRTHDAY PARTY

AT GRENDEL'S HOUSE (THE NEXT MORNING):

"Harry today is your birthday but unfortunately your uncle is coming to pick you up, so we can't celebrate it with you I am so sorry for that," Mrs. Grendel said to Harry.

"Seriously? My uncle is coming, yay," Harry laughed.

"Aren't you feeling sad? I mean did not you want to celebrate your birthday with us?" Mrs. Grendel asked.

"No, I wanted to celebrate it with my uncle", he said and someone rang the bell.

"Mrs. Grendel opened the door, and it was Aaron, "Welcome", she said.

"Ask Harry to come," he said without looking at Mrs. Grendel. Behind her he saw Harry who was walking towards him, he came and hugged Aaron.

"Oh, my handsome nephew, I missed you so much," Aaron said and picked him up.

"I missed you too", Harry said and kissed Aaron's cheek.

"Come on let's o", Aaron said.

"But where will we go?" he asked.

"Don't you remember that we used to celebrate your birthday at the farm? Aaron asked.

"I do but at tie granny used to live there, my aunt told me that granny lives at the hospital", Harry said worriedly.

"No my dear, your granny is at farm she is waiting for you", Aaron said.

"Alayah is also waiting for me?" he asked.

"No, I didn't ask her to come," Aaron said.

"But why uncle? Call her I want her to be there," Harry said.

"Okay I will call her, let's go," Aaron said and walked towards the car, and Mrs. Grendel kept on looking at her. Grendel was looking at her wife from window. She entered into the living room.

"Whoa it is my nephew's birthday and I am not with him", she said.

"Calm down, he is in our custody once he will come back we will celebrate his birthday again," Mr. Grendel said calmly.

"No, I want to join him right now", she said.

"Why? What just happened to you? Why you care for that Harry so much?" Grendel shouted.

"Because I am his aunt and I am going to the birthday party," she said.

"You cannot go without me," Grendel said.

"I can and I will, watch me", Mrs. Grendel said.

"What just happened to you, okay I am coming with you, I cannot leave my beautiful wife alone," he said.

AT THE FARM:

Aaron entered with Harry at the farm. The lawn was decorated with blue and white flowers, on the dining tables a number of different dishes were placed.

"Granny," Harry shouted with excitement and hugged Mrs. Lincoln, and she hugged him back with teary eyes.

"Granny I missed you so much," Harry said.

"Come Harry, I will help you to sit on the chair," Aaron said and picked him up.

Harry sat on the chair and from a distance Aaron saw Alayah was coming with Denzel. He immediately looked at Erik, as if he were asking that why Alayah is with Denzel.

"Hello Harry", Alayah said and hugged her.

"Alayah!" Harry shouted with excitement, "It is one of the best surprises". He said and Alayah kissed her cheek.

"What about me?" Denzel asked and pretending to be sad.

"Uncle, you are my dear uncle", Harry said.

"Come, let's open the gift that I brought for you, I could not wait," Denzel said and picked Harry up and went towards a sofa Alayah followed them.

Harry opened the gift it was a big yellow and black truck. "Whoa, uncle it is such a great surprise," Harry said.

Alayah looked up and saw that from a distance Aaron was looking at her and talking to Erik.

He looked at Alayah two to three times, which made her feel uncomfortable, so she stood up and walked toward Aaron.

"I am going to see Mrs. Lincoln", Erik said and left.

"Do you want something? Why you are looking at me like this?" Alayah asked.

"Like what?" Aaron asked.

"Don't you know?" she asked.

"No I don't, and how could you know? No one can read my mind", Aaron said.

"I can, I know that you are thinking, you are thinking that I am a sister of Luna who did something wrong that police caught her, and I am a friend of Elin who lied to your friend, but Aaron believe me she is not that that type of a person it was just a misunderstanding", Alayah said.

"Don't explain, my friend, trusted Elin, and she is such a liar, she did wrong, if she actually loved her, she should have trusted Erik and should tell him everything. But no, she preferred hiding," Aaron said and Alayah left that place.

She walked towards a bank, stood there, and was looking into the stream which was covering with trees.

"Did you came here to escape from the crowd?" Aaron asked.

"No, I just found this place peaceful", Alayah replied. And Aaron stood with her.

"This used to be my and my sister's best place, we used to hide there to avoid the guests," Aaron said.

"You love your sister so much, right?" Alayah asked.

"I do, and I can't believe that she is no more, I just feel that she is still with me, sometimes while sitting in office I just feel that she will open the door and will come inside, she used to call me, she never cared about the time, whenever she used to stuck somewhere, she used to call, and I used to got angry, but know…" he stopped.

"Know you want to talk to her but she is not around you", Alayah completed the sentence.

"Aaron, do you know I love Luna so much, I can't imagine a life without my sister so I just can't imagine your pain", she said.

"Let's go, everyone will be waiting for us", he said and walked towards the lawn and Alayah followed him.
