"What are you all doing here?" Aria asked; still dumbfounded as she stared at the people in front of her. Smiling lightly at her daughter's shocked expression, Sophia stepped forward and carefully kneeled in front of her.
"They have all gathered here to celebrate you first birthday here together with you. Didn't you have the wish your special day surrounded by the people you love, so look, they are all here." Sophia lovingly told Aria as she cupped her cheeks endearingly.
Tears welled up in Aria's eyes as she looked at everyone; feeling utterly grateful and blessed to have them in her life.
"Uhh uhh! You can't cry on your birthday. Or our presence isn't welcomed and that is why you are crying?" Adrian deliberately made a horrified expression to tease Aria and add humor to the emotional air in the room. As expected, Aria and everyone chuckled at his words.
