"Lucifer? The devil Lucifer?" Jeren asked wondering why a handsome man like him had such a devilish name.
"The fallen angel Lucifer." After correcting Jeren, Lucifer gestured her to enter the car.
"What's the difference? He is still a devil," Jeren questioned him again before getting into the car.
Without saying anything, Lucifer boarded the car and drove away.
….
Galpon resort.
After almost an hour journey, Lucifer and Jeren arrived at the venue. Throughout the whole journey, Jeren tried to extract a little information about the surprise party and where they were going from Lucifer but the latter completely ignored her and kept on driving with a straight face.
After hopping out of the car, Lucifer guiding Jeren towards a hall which was located in the west side of the resort.
...
Inside the hall.
As soon as Jeren entered the hall, everyone screamed in unison. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEREN."
Jeren gasped when she saw Amy and Steve along with others including Silvia and Kevin.
Taking a bag from Kevin's hand, Silvia made her way towards the birthday girl who was still in shock. Passing her the bag, Silvia gave her a hug, "Happy birthday Jeren."
"This? Sister Silva? You-everyone-" Jeren couldn't believe what was happening. She had never expected her birthday to be such a big affair.
Cutting her mumbling sister off, Silvia shoved the bag in her hand. "Don't ask any questions now, you should go and change first. Your birthday cake is waiting for you."
" I'll help her." Amy volunteered herself.
"But-"
Grabbing her hand, Amy started dragging her outside saying, "You ask too many questions Jeren. It's your birthday and look what you are wearing? We have to get dressed. I need to take pictures with you and then I'll post them on Instagram."
After Jeren left, Kevin approached Silvia and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Don't worry, she will like it," he tried to assure her.
Leaning against his chest, Silvia took a deep breath and murmured, "I hope she does. What if she doesn't like that colour?" Silvia was worried about Jeren not liking the dress she had bought for her.
" Are you mad? That is the sweetest colour I have ever seen. Well, if I wasn't a man, I would definitely give that dress a shot. It was so beautiful."
Turning towards him, Silvia cupped his face and chuckled, "Why are you so cute Kevin? Why?"
Pressing his forehead against hers, Kevin chuckled, "You think I am cute? Well yeah I am but only for you."
Silvia helplessly shook her head and pinched his cheeks. Inching closer, she murmured, "Mr Austin, you better let me go otherwise judging by the way your aunt is staring at us, she is definitely going to thrash me with her trashy words."
Pulling her closer, Kevin brushed his nose against hers and murmured, "Hmmm let me see who has the guts to say trashy things about my beautiful wife."
Brushing his lips against hers, Kevin proudly said, "And you are my wife and I am your husband so we can touch each other anywhere and anytime we want irrespective to the place and people around us. I don't know whether you know this or not Mrs Austin but our marriage certificate is our official license to act all lovey dovey and touchy even in public places."
Hitting him on his chest, Silvia accused him of being too thick skinned and shameless. "Rubbish, let me go Kev. Mom and dad are here too."
Tightening his grip around her, Kevin smiled. "As if I care."
Placing her hand in his chest, Silvia widened her eyes in shock and pushed him away. "Kevin uncle Jackie."
Throwing his head back, Kevin chuckled, "You think I'll fall for that again? Really Silvia? You should change your tricking methods because this one is seriously old. So where was I...hmmmm yes I was about to kiss….."
*COUGH* *COUGH*
"There are elders watching you kids, you should control your feelings until you get yourself a room." Uncle Jackie shamelessly said without restraining or filtering his words.
Kevin quickly let Silvia go and awkwardly scratched his forehead and cleared his throat continuously before running away saying, "I think I need some water."
Seeing his horrified and embarrassed expression, Silvia could not help but chuckle.
After Kevin left, Uncle Jackie patted Silvia's head and smiled. "I am glad to see how happy you both are and I am proud of you too. I never expected you to throw a party for Jeren. I thought you would think a lot before treating her as your younger sister but I was wrong. You have a very big heart, my child and I am really very proud of you."
" Whatever happened has nothing to do with Jeren. She is as innocent as I am and why should I blame her? In fact she wasn't even born when everything happened." Silvia explained. She wasn't the kind of a person who liked to hold grudges or detested someone for a silly reason. Silvia was a very forgiving person until someone crossed her limit. She was all cute and sweet but also a badass when needed.
" Hey Sil," Janet shouted before rushing towards Silvia.
Silvia knocked Janet's forehead before giving her a hug. "You are super late."
Sticking her tongue out, Janet chuckled, "Sorry but we had to wait for aunt Liza. Her flight got delayed."
" Aunt Liza?" Silvia asked.
" Ahhh right you don't know her, let me introduce you to aunt Liza. She took care of brother Mathew when he was sick and even after that." Janet explained.
Just then Mathew walked in along with Veronica and a woman.
Giving Silvia a nod, Matthew introduced her, "Aunt Liza this is Silvia. She is Janet's childhood best friend."
Silvia smiled and politely said, "It's nice meeting you and I am glad you are here."
Giving Silvia a hug, Aunt Liza smiled," It's a pleasure meeting you darling."
Pulling away, Silvia turned towards Jackie. "Uncle, he is brother Matthew Janet's big brother and she is aunt Liza."
Looking at Liza, Jackie smiled. "I never thought we would meet again Ms Liza."
Stretching her hands towards him for a shake, Aunt Liza smiled, "It's a pleasure meeting you again Mr Jackie."
