Indhra held a guitar in his hand.

  Both of them were in a nice-looking music shop in the main market street of Luvinia.

  Anything you wish can be found here.

  Well, I want to go and secure porn, but...well, not with him! Aldred's teenage urges started to come out of his body after he saw pornography being sold on the streets.

  Well...How long must I wait, and why are we here in a music shop anyway? He questioned as he tried to remember if today was any special day.

  I know that Indhra is a big music guy, and he likes guitar, but...he already owns one! Ah, f**k guessing, let me just ask him directly.

  After a few hours of Indhra hopping from shop to shop, he finally chose a guitar.

  Aldred saw the price tag and got terrified. One million units! The f**k is in this guitar?

  Luvinia follows the currency of units.

  There are three types of units followed:

  1. Micro-units-- It has the least value.

  2. Units-- one unit is equal to a hundred microunits.

  3. Mega-units--one mega-unit is equal to ten units.

  The guitar was one million units, i.e., a hundred thousand mega-units, and ten hundred thousand micro-units.

  A normal car costs twenty thousand mega-units; this is a hundred thousand mega-units!

  Aldred got worried about Indhra's bank balance after this payment, but Indhra, from forward, noticed his expression and gave a rich smile.

  Is he taunting me since I was poor as f**k?

  He proceeded to put his thumb on a payment machine, and the money from his bank account got deducted.

  He's rich as f**k! Aldred felt happy for himself since Indhra had technically adopted him.

  The shop owner slowly wrapped the guitar box with a shiny gift wrapper.

  Wait! A gift wrapper? Aldred thought for some time and then realised.

  Wait! What's the date today? He immediately took his phone out of his pocket and checked the date, revealing it to be 23rd April.

  Shit! Today is Kyra's birthday!

  *

  Is someone thinking about me? Kyra questioned the thin air. Nah, they probably don't even remember my birthday!

  She scoffed at the thought while she was trying to find the book Aldred was talking about.

  She opened Aldred's bag and saw the book. 'The Seven Pillars of God Armour'.

  Weird name! But didn't he say that his parents warned him about this book in a note? Where is the note? She proceeded to turn the pages and saw the note being used as a bookmark.

  You're as weird as the name of this book, but I still love you!!! She blushed at the thought of Aldred being weird.

  This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

  She sat on the chair and proceeded to open the book while it was placed on the study table.

  She glanced through the book until the bookmark, since she wanted to read the rest with Aldred later.

  The f**k is this? She didn't believe a word from this boo,k so she decided to throw it back in Aldred's bag.

  She stood up from her table with a thought. What a shitty book, the f**k is Me... wait, what was it? Whatever! She went out of the room to the hall.

  So what was it, Ma... Wait, did I just forget about what I read? Ain't no way my memory is this bad! She couldn't believe the thought of forgetting such a simple thing.

  This was when the bell rang on the door. At this point, it was already afternoon, 5 PM.

  She got excited and ran towards the main gate and opened it.

  She suddenly felt her body being wrapped around by two hands while one hand held a jute bag.

  " Uhh..." Kyra quickly realised that it was his mother.

  " Uhh, mother, are you drunk again?"

  " Ahhh...I don't kn...ow..." Kyra scoffed,

  " You're definitely drunk!"

  She, with all her strength, carried Shinsetsu around the hall and tossed her on the sofa.

  " Thank...you!" The tired sound of Shinsu echoed throughout her ears.

  Well, this wasn't the way I thought our meet-up would go, but... I am glad she is okay!

  " Kyra!" Shinsetsu said with all her strength," Happy...Birthday!"

  Kyra's eyes widened. She remembers... She went into a trance for a moment until Shinsu continued,

  " I bought...a cake, it...is in m...y bag!" She struggled to say each word.

  She ran to the entrance and took the jute bag, which earlier had been dropped by Shinsetsu.

  She smiled at the appearance of the cake, not because she liked the cake, but because she loved her mother.

  She took the cake and ran towards Shinsu.

  She gently kissed Shinsetsu's cheeks as she had fallen asleep.

  She then carried the cake box and placed it in the fridge.

  A drop of tear fell on the box of cake. It was the happy tears of Kyra Trix.

  She slowly tried to hide her sobbing sounds, but Shinsetsu was her mother, and she quickly understood.

  She gently smiled at the happiness of Kyra. But then tears formed in her eyes, and the smile started to fade away. Thank you for everything, Kyra!

  Kyra happily proceeded to go to her room and just chill out until Indhra and Aldred arrive.

  After some time of Shinsu lay on the sofa, a call hit her eardrums.

  She opened her tired eyes and picked up her phone from her pocket.

  She answered the call and placed the phone exactly to her ear to listen to the words of Indhra.

  " Shinsu! Can you open the door secretly?" The voice could be heard from the entrance.

  She sighed and cut the call.

  She stood up and dusted herself off to look like a respectable adult in front of Aldred.

  She opened the door to reveal Indhra holding a big box covered in a gift wrapper. She noticed Aldred beside him, tired.

  She waved at him with a charming smile," You must be Aldred!" She said while trying to sound respectable.

  Aldred nodded with an exhausted smile.

  Indhra proceeded to enter the house silently, trying not to alert Kyra.

  Man...I don't know if she will be happy with this gift, but I must trust Indhra. Aldred sighed at the thought of the guitar.

  She never revealed to me that she was a music person...sad!

  Indhra laid the guitar on the wall beside Kyra's room door. He then lifted his arm to knock on the door.

  Dhum...Dhum...

  The sound of knocking echoed through Kyra's room.

  Shinsetsu, from behind, looked at the open door. She was still quite drunk.

  Kyra opened with her skin below the eyes that was dry.

  She gave a smile. "Uhh, father! Mom bought..." Indhra stopped her and pushed her back to the room.

  " Uhh...sorry, but we have something to show you!" Aldred entered the room with Indhra and Shinsu.

  Indhra went out of the room for some time, making the air more dense due to the awkwardness.

  Indhra came back inside while carrying the gift box.

  " Happy birthday! Kyra..." All three of them spoke at once while Indhra and Aldred proceeded to give the box.

  Kyra took the heavy box while the love of her new family gently moved her hair.

  " Tha..." Just as her lips moved, tears filled her face. " Thank...you!" She said while sobbing.

  Indhra got scared for a second, but then he realised. She is sensitive... He chuckled.

  She placed the gift on the ground and then tore the gift wrapper with happiness.

  Damn, she is chaotic! Aldred chuckled at the thought. Indhra is a good father...

  She opened the box to see a guitar. She was confused," Gui...tar?" She looked at Indhra while already knowing the answer.

  " Huh...Well, you're a piano person, so I thought to teach you something new since I am a guitar guy! It's okay if you don't like it..."

  Kyra got stunned for a second," No! I love it! I hope you'll get time to teach...me!" She put more effort into 'teach' while sobbing.

  Indhra and everyone else smiled at her innocence and just laughed at the situation.

  " Once more!" Aldred said,

  " Happy Birthday! Kyra Trix..." Everyone said after Aldred.
