The most cherished moment of my life (My golden day)

In the early hours of November 25th, 2019, it was a beautiful Monday. I woke up as usual singing and dancing to praise my God for yet another glorious plus added to my age and also prayed for myself from 12 midnight till 3 am. Mummy was the first to call and pray for me as usual, that's how she does to everyone even to her inlaws. I decided to sleep before heading to my place of work that beautiful day.

I had planned to wear a beautiful purple dress that I sewed purposely for that day just to celebrate myself and nothing much. I had no cake or party organized. I hadn't done anything like a birthday party before aside from the usual biscuits and juice for my classmates in school and my neighbors but I wished to be surprised in a bigger way. I guessed no one wants to surprise me even my husband, my thoughts every year.

My husband on the other hand pretended nothing was happening. Awwnnn, how can men be like this? Don't they even care about how women want to be loved? Don't they know things like surprises make us happy? I like surprises and gifts. I was so pained that day not knowing a full-blown surprise awaited me😉

I got dressed and went to work, everybody in my place of work wished me happy birthday, they sang for me on the assembly ground with the students singing and shouting on top of their voices. I was moved with tears that I could be celebrated like a celebrity like this on my birthday apart from the usual prayers and greetings🤣🤣 To say that I was extremely joyful was an understatement👏👏👏

Then, the normal activities for the day began with schoolwork and others. However, the celebrant need not stress herself. So, I sat down like a baby whom they just birth to in reality looking radiant in my office reading the birthday messages as they dropped on my phone then I heard a loud voice from outside.

Immediately I got to the entrance, it was the sound of trumpets and, talking drums, and the sight of a beautiful cake and we'll packed Hamper package with varieties of food wowed my mouth. I couldn't close my mouth for a while because I was so speechless. Who was behind this? Happy birthday darling wife was written on the cake with a lovely card professing his love for me😲😲 My husband🤣🤣

Dancing celebrant

I danced like never before, they kept singing and drumming for me to dance very well, teachers and everybody around came to see the surprise. It was an amazing surprise birthday at work. He caught me unaware 👌 He threw me off-balance.

Remember, I had earlier said he didn't care how my day would go but I never knew he had something good for me. I got home and met another surprise again as he took me out for a date, and we went alone without the kids for a date (me and him) as if we just started a relationship. The feeling was wonderful, the pampering was top-notch. I didn't want it to end as that was the first birthday that made my heart leap for joy.
