Please Love Me

Chapter 31

I woke up because of the noise in my room.

Happy birthday to you...

Happy birthday to you...

Happy birthday.. happy birthday.. happy birthday to you...

"Happy birthday Tricia!" Mom and dad greeted me synchronously. They gave me a quick kiss on my

forehead, and I smiled at them.

"Happy birthday Tricia..." Sunny said.

My happiness is overflowing right now…

While I’m fixing myself for later’s party, my phone is ringing non stop because of the birthday greetings.

“You really are beautiful.” Complimented by the stylist.

I stood up to get the gown hanging on my closet. I noticed a huge strawberry designed wrapper in the

last layer of my drawer. I smiled. I know who gave me this, I’ll open it later.

My mind is occupied with the thought that Enzo is going to be my escort. He gave me this day. Only

me.

I wore the gown. It is a tube top that is color pink with a balloon style black skirt that reaches my feet.

"You’re now a grown up Pat.." my nanny told me while crying. I hugged her. Aww. I did the same with

Mom and Dad.

We drove to the venue of my debut which is owned by the family of Enzo. We actually did not have to

pay for some of the expenses since Enzo’s mom told me that this would be her gift for me.

I was amazed when we entered the pavilion. It’s so beautiful! It is full of color pink! There is a

strawberry shaped chair in the middle. It looks like i’m in my dream…

“Is Enzo not yet here?” I asked Sunny who looks pissed. She did not say anything, so I became

nervous. The part will start in five minutes, and Enzo is not yet here. Where the hell is he?

"Tricia be ready!We're going to start.." the organizer tapped me. My nervousness is still clinging to me.

There’s no sign of him yet…

“Tricia...Enzo’s still not here. He’s probably stuck in a traffic or something.” I know my Mom. She’s just

trying to calm me down. Even though I want to cry, I managed to form a smile. I can’t cry. I don't want to

ruin everything they prepared for me. He promised me…

“I’ll be his substitute, Tricia.” Zion smiled at me, but why are his eyes so sad?

"Tricia your turn girl.." shouted the organizer. I breathed deeply. He’s really not here. I looked at Zion

while smiling. I put my hand on top of his.

"Don't worry. He will come..." Zion whispered while we are walking in the middle. The light from their

cameras is blinding. I forced myself to smile even though I feel like shouting. He broke his promise to

be here for me. And it breaks my heart. Bigtime.

The host introduced me so the two of us walked around the stage. I’m still looking for him....

The program went through smoothly. Almost all of my friends are here. It’s weird because instead of

being happy with their messages for me, I feel sad. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Now it's Sunny's turn.

"I've known you for so long Tricia..since high school you were my one and only friend. I’ve seen the

tomboy and boyish side of hers." i smiled at her. "I’ve witnessed how you grew from an ugly duckling to

a young and beautiful swan.." People laughed at her. "I told you everything already, right?" Her voice

shook and her face became sullen. I know that she knows how I’m feeling right now. "You are the best

example of a good friend and ally. You showed me how huge your heart is to the point that you sacrifice

yourself for others’ happiness. I wish that you love yourself more because we may not be sisters by

blood but you are my one true sister by heart.. I’m rooting for your happiness.. happy birthday Trish..."

I hugged her as I freed my tears. "I'm here Tricia.." She whispered.

"At last Sunny’s long speech has ended.." Maico shouted to ease the atmosphere.

Eighteen roses are near. Daddy is my first dance whereas Enzo is supposed to be my last. But he’s not

here.

After dad and I danced, he was replaced by Enzo’s dad.

"You're so beautiful ija.." he happily said while we dance in the middle. “I'm sorry with what Enzo did.

We keep on calling him, but he is not answering. Maybe he’s doing something emergent."

I smiled bitterly. I just wish that whatever is Enzo doing now, it’s worth it. I hope it can justify what I’m

feeling right now. Now I’m worried…

Because Enzo is not here, Zion becomes my last dance.

"You’re so pretty….Are you happy?” I just noticed now how handsome he looks right now. Enzo is

handsome, but Zi’s aura is better. Nonetheless, it;s only Enzo who can do this to me.

"Ofcourse.." I just smiled at him. I don’t want him to see how down i am today. They don’t deserve that.

The party is finished, and the guests are starting to leave. I sighed to suppress the emotions I’m trying

hard to keep. He doesn't know how to keep his words.

I’m about to go to the dressing room when Sunny shouts.

"Trish! Enzo's here.."
