Unexpected birthday gift part one

The week went by in a blink of an eye. Petal spent the whole week preparing for the festival as it's only one month away. Her teachers say that she is ready but shouldn't help but worry about not doing well. That's why she was practicing hard to do her best. She believed that good results come from hard work and this is her first dream that she works hard to achieve.

It was a Sunday night. Everyone was out. Lana was busy with the hospital. Alice is studying with her friends for the exams and Ethan said that he has important work that he has to take care of. 

Walking along the empty corridor. Petal stopped by the big window on the third floor, staring outside at the pouring rain. They were at the end of November. Her birthday is tomorrow but she preferred to not tell anyone about it. She planned to visit her mother's grave. For her. It was the best way to spend her birthday.
