“Saphira, we won’t be able to come home this week. Your father and I have a conference with the investors in Paris.”
“It’s okay Mom. I guess I just have to spend my birthday alone.”
“Birthday? Is it your birthday today? Beverly! What day is it today? How come you did not remind me that it’s my daughter’s birthday!”
I heard my mom scolding her personal assistant and I forced myself not to cry. She seriously forgot my birthday.
I thought when she called it was to greet me since they have promised to be home this week.
“Its alright mom. It’s my 17th birthday in a few minutes. You’re in a different time zone remember.”
“Saphira honey, just go out with your friends, have a party or book a restaurant. We just can’t go home for your birthday. We are really busy and we don’t have time to fly there. If you want a grand party we can do that when we return.”
“It’s okay mom. No need for a celebration. I will just stay at home and study we have exams next week.”
“Oh. That is better honey. You should study harder, you will be graduating soon and being Valedictorian is an honor. Your father and I were both Valedictorians on that school.”
“I’ll do my best mom.”
“Saphira, I really have to go. Have a happy birthday and we love you!”
“Love you too mom. Take care. Good. . .”
The line went dead before I can even say goodbye properly. I guess they were really very busy.
Oh well, I just have to sleep this sadness off. Even the maids forgot my birthday.
Ever since my old Filipina nanny died two years ago, I felt more alone than ever.
