She get ready for her job and was about to leave the house but she went to her room and pick the photo frame of her with her parents and say mom dad, I miss you two everyday but today I just miss you even more. She hug the frame and put it back and went out of the house. Sia hadn't celebrated her birthday after her parents death. She arrived at her office but no one know today is her birthday and everyone get back to their work. After work Sia came back to her home and after entering she look around and thought it's so lonely. And she came and sit down at sofa and she get a message from Reb about tomorrow meeting and Sia look at it and she look at the time and it was 11:3pm and she say it's over now. But suddenly she heard a doorbell and she was confused that who would be at these late. She went and open the door and heard singing happy birthday song and it was Eric who sang it whole holding a cake. Sia say how did you know. Eric say first blow these candles. Sia look at him and he signal her to blow it so she did it and they both came inside. Sia ask again how did he know. Eric put cake at table and say I do your profile check so I know and I was really busy today so I came these late. Sia don't even remember that someone had brought cake for her. She say let's have drink. She brought beer for them and they were drinking while sitting at sofa. And Sia was just kept drinking and she finished 3 bottles of beer. She say I haven't celebrated my birthday after I was 11 years old as my parents died at that time. Eric was looking her and he was just listening her. She continued so I almost forget that today was my birthday as I haven't told anyone. Eric say you are drunk, right? She nod her head and say thank you for bringing these cake forme (they look at the cake in front of them) and reminding me that we have to blow off candles on these day. She take sip of drink and say why are you so nice to me that it hurt me? He can see that how much lonely she must have felt in all those years and he put down his beer can and hug her and say you don't have to try to be strong everything so you can cry when you want to. When Sia heard that her tears roll down her face and Eric continues you can be yourself when you are with me. Sia say I have been alone all these time so I am afraid to be with someone.....they were still hugging each other and Eric say now remember that you have someone. But Sia didn't say anything and Eric broke the hug and saw Sia wwas sleeping. He smile looking her and he take her to her room and put her in her bed. He put blanket over her and suddenly she murmured don't leave me. Eric touch her head and say I won't and he kiss her forehead. And came out of the room.
