today we were having lunch together as usual, and my dad asked me out of the blue, 'what are your plans for your birthday?' and i looked at him, in shock and disbelieved. since those days they forgot my birthday and others had to do it in place for them, i never really carry much hope that they will ever remember that day again. i always thought birthdays are meant to be celebrated by myself since then.
FB is always a good source of ideas how to celebrate one's 21th birthday. too many fanciful ideas there, but none's one that i really want.
that moment, i really wanted to ask, 'can i only invite one friend?' but that question just remained in my head for rest of the meal.
hours later, when there was only my mother and me, doing some stock-up shopping, i finally ask her. at first she was really disappointed that i am so pathetic to having only one friend, but i think she got what i meant eventually.
somehow i don't think i did a good job at masking up things from her, she seems to have guessed some things on her own. but at least that imagination she had conceived was a vague one.
ultimately to my parents, i just want this day to be special. special because you have given me a lot of wonderful moments in life, though i was not the best of the daughters. and hopefully even more special because i've brought someone equally special into our threesome world.
most importantly, don't disappoint me. even if it means to take time, don't ever let me down.
