I Dream A Dream #1

1o years from now.

It was a sunny morning in July. I woke up from sleep with my husband beside me. It's him. The one I always dream to be with. Ah... He's turning 30 today. I already planned a surprise.

With my slippers on, I got up very quietly and took the presents and the cake I already prepared. I walked downstairs in my favorite PJ, and woke my son up. Malino was only 4 and he's handsome. A pretty combination of me and my husband. With that bold eyebrows of his Dad, high cheek-bone of his grandma, long eyelids oh his mom, and the cutest one was sure his curly little hair just like his Dad.

Well, Malino is a smart boy, he's not that kind of straight-A student in class, but he's smart. I already told him that his Daddy was going to have the 3-O birthday today, and he woke up in time. He yawned and asked if I already took his presents. I said I haven't, I didn't even remember if he told me to, thus he grumbled: "Mom, I've told you that last night when you tucked me in. Please, you're only 28 and you forgot nearly everything!" Jeez, this son.

Well anyway, his presents were a hand-made birthday card and a little box which I didn't know what's inside. We're getting ready, I lighted the candle, he brought the presents. We went upstairs and stepped in hush trying not to make any sound. Malino opened the door handle very slowly, and thanks God he's still sleeping like a baby. But Mal suddenly ran into him, by Golly that was out of our plan! He yelled loudly and shook his Dad, "Daddy! Daddy! Wake up! It's your 3-O birthday!" My husband woke up with his one-line-eyes fluttering trying to adjust the light. He smiled as he saw me bringing his favorite cheesecake tart. He then stared at our little kid who grinned widely whilst saying, "Happy birthday, Dad!" The next thing I knew was Mal screaming, "Dad I can't breathe!" as my husband hugged him so tight. I laughed.

It was one of the warmest morning in our marriage. ;)
