Sonya woke up and stood up from her bed and headed downstairs, its been a few days since she took an exam to Simon's college after Simon managed to convince his mom and she let go with a condition that she can only attend Simon's college and she reluctantly agreed.

With nothing to do, Sonya headed to the fridge to get some water to drink and then suddenly water was poured on her from nowhere, he was shocked and even more surprised to see all her friends and Simon coming out of their hiding place to surprise her.

Surprise!!! they shouted then Simon said,

“Happy birthday cousin” and hugged her. shit, she has forgotten all about her birthday.

One by one every start to greet her and give her their best wishes.

“Thank you” she replied each of them after greeting everyone then she remembered something and dragged Simon to a corner.

“Where is aunt?” she said feeling tensed.

“Relax, she is not around and wont be back until next week" Simon replied. she sigh in relieve.

“But what if she comes back all of a sudden and sees all this then i will be in trouble or what if she carries out her threat and marry me off because of this or she might even be.…” she said imagining the things her aunt might do to her if she knows she had friends over

“Calm down girl” Simon said cutting her short.

"You think too much and beside mom is not that wicked. Why do you like thinking too far”

“I know she is not that wicked but what if she carries out her threats one of this days” she replied back.

“I know you have forgotten about your birthday again so i decided to throw you this surprise but it seems like you don’t like it” he said and made an unhappy face

"My lovely cousin, of course I love the surprise. Just that I have lots of things on my mind so... you know…” she said not knowing what excuse to give.

“You forgot” Simon said complete her word.

“I know you’ve forgotten about it, that's why i plan a big gift for you"

"Really? What is it?" She said full of expectation.

"I arrange for you to celebrate your eighteenth birthday at country X” he said excitedly.

“what? country X, are you serious? with what money?” Sonya asked not believing him.

“Calm down young lady, its no big deal.” he said and bought out two plane tickets

'besides its just for two days, just to cheer you up" he said moving the ticket in her face

“Yes!” she screamed and hugged him.

“Thank you thank you, i love you so much” she leap for joy at the sight of the ticket.

“So you love me now" Simon said smiling.

“Yes” she answered"

"You are the best but seriously, how do you get the money for this” she said with a serious expression.

“Is that what is important right now or the fact that you will be making a visit to your dream country” he said.

“Of course its not, you know i love free things and money”

“I know money lover, just go upstairs and change into something very nice and pack a few things and lets go and have some fun before our flight" okay, she said and ran upstairs.

After about an hour she came down dressed with a bag in her hand and they set out.
