Forgot Your Mother

Inside a mid-level villa, Jones twins Allen and Eva were preparing a surprise birthday party for their dad's 43rd birthday.

While preparing for the party Eva suddenly remembers's "Allen did you ask dad when will he becoming".

" Oo Sorry! Sis, I forgot" Allen said while hitting his forehead with his knuckles.

"This idiot! always forget important things how will we celebrate his birthday when he will not be there " irritatedly was Eva started calling her dad.

Call connecting... another side of the phone, a mid-age man voice came,

"hello princess"

"Dad where are you and when will you be coming home"

"I'm in the office and will be home after midnight so you both eat your dinner without me and sleep early don't wait for me, the sorry princess I have to go for the meeting let's talk tomorrow bye princess".

"okay bye dad, love you" Eva ended the call sighing that they have some more time to prepare.

"When will he be arriving Sis", Allen asked while hanging a mint blue balloon on the walls.

"after midnight," Eva said while continuing decorating cake top.

After hanging balloons all over the living room and being satisfied with his work Allen looked at his sister "look Sis didn't I did a great job, it looks perfect and he will love it "winked at her sister before laughing excitedly "hahaha... "

"Hmm you did do a great job but... dad will love my handmade pineapple cake more" Eva teasingly said to him coz they know how much their dad loves pineapple cakes.

"Okay, we will see who wins," Allen said it like it was on a war which made butler Max laugh happily who was seeing them form the corner of the room but also little unhappy knowing his master will be unhappy seeing this but he can't make them stop knowing that they are doing this to make his master move on with his grief.

Coming to them with a smile on his face "Okay young master and miss let's eat your dinner it's already so late for dinner and as the master said he will be coming home late in midnight so you both should eat and after he comes I'll let you both inform so that you can celebrate his birthday".

"No, Uncle Max today we will eat when dad comes home we know dad always forget to eat his dinner when he is busy so when he'll come we will eat with him" Eva looked at his brother who was starring at foods knowing he must be waiting for fill his tank size stomach with all of it.

"Of course! we'll eat today's dinner with dad it's dad's birthday after all So let wait for dad" Allen said looking at the kitchen counter which was filled with all tasty foods like saying with his eyes to the food 'Wait for me my yummy darling I'll let you enter my tummy after dad comes'

After seeing that it's not going to work to make them eat their dinner butler Max sigh softly and made all the maids leave them in the living room to wait for their dad.

After everyone left them they made their way to sofa to watch tv while waiting for their dad to come.

"It's already quarter past twelve and still dad has not returned" Allen sounded lazily looking at the wall clock.

"Dad must be very busy let's wait for him a little longer," Eva said knowingly that their dad must have forgotten about his birthday.

Just after speaking, they heard car engine sound coming from outside and they quickly switch off all the lights and TV and hide behind the pillars.

Mr. Jones enters the living room surprised to see all the lights were off "huh.. why are all the lights of the living room is off today "

After saying he turned to switch on the lights and just as the light turn on

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD" twins wished him excitedly and hugged him.

Allen quickly pulled him inside to let him see the decorations they had done "Dad sees how beautifully I've decorated the room to celebrate your birthday don't u love it " looking at the room not at all looking at his dad to see his expression while waiting for praise.

Coming from the kitchen with cake in her hand Eva also didn't notice it "Don't force dad to say he love your decorations because he'll surely love my handmade pineapple cake which is his favorite, dad quickly comes and cut the cake" excitedly Eva light the candles.

"Yes dad let's cut the cake" as Allen was about to pull his dad to make him cut the cake Mr. Jones slapped his hand and shouted angrily

"WHO SAID YOU BOTH TO CELEBRATE MY BIRTHDAY, DID YOU FORGOT THAT TODAY IS YOUR MOTHER MEMORIAL DID YOU BOTH FORGOT YOUR MOTHER".

It was the first time when Mr. Jones has ever had shouted on the twins which made the twins take a few steps back unconsciously with the new look of their dad which they had never seen.

Mr. Jones collapsed on the nearest sofa while holding his head down saying "how could you celebrate my birthday when today you lost your mom that time if not for celebrating my birthday your mom could have been with us today "

"How could you how could you..." Mr. Jones started sobbing while covering his face with his palm knowing it was his fault for losing his lovely wife whom he had loved since high school.
