Chapter 34 : My Parent's Wedding Anniversary
“ El! Come here, Ralph, need your help! “ I heard Amelia's mother shouted from the kitchen.
I run towards downstairs and saw Ralph making a mess in our entire kitchen. Amelia's mother is standing with her eyebrows raised. I inhale and exhale before I approach Ralph.
" What do you think you're doing! " I yelled at him.
" Cooking on my own? " He simply replied.
" Really, that's how you cook? " I said as I pointed all the mess he made in the kitchen area.
" Nope. So yeah, you cook! I'll help. " He responded and grab a piece of cloth and clean the mess he made.
I'm not mad by what he did, but it ruined my mood like how dare this man wasted all the ingredients and play like a child. I dailed Ash Ron number to asked him to come over for tonight's dinner. After a couple of rings he answered the call.
" Hi El, why did you call? " Instead he greeted me, but he asked me without hesitation.
" Can you come over? Tonight is my parents wedding anniversary and my mother invited you to come, can you cook for our dinner meal since Ralph ruined my mood by making a mess in our kitchen? " I said waiting for his response.
" Sure thing, I'm in a day off today. " He replied.
" Great! We will wait for you here." I uttered.
" We? With whom? " Ash Ron asked me this time.
" Ralph, will help too. " I said.
" Okay, I'll be there. " He stated as he ended up the call.
I'm sitting in the couch in the living room waiting for Ash Ron to come when Amelia walked towards me as she is rubbing her cute little eyes, it's half closed, and she is hugging her favorite teddy bear. When she arrived In front of me, she extended her arms and waiting for me to hug her as she sat on my lap.
" Good Morning Mel! " I uttered.
" Morning Ate El! " She replied as she open her eyes and half smiled at me.
" Are you hungry already? " I asked her it's passed 11 in the afternoon, and I'm still sitting here waiting for Ash Ron to come, so we can cook for our lunch and today's night dinner meal.
" Yes. " She answered.
" I made Kimchi Fried Rice and a vegetable Soup. " I said.
" Wow! Thank you, Ate. " Amelia replied and clap her hands as she sits down and grab the plate that I'm holding and pray as she digged in.
After an hour of waiting, Ash Ron already here. He is wearing the black pants and a white polo with his black cup on his head. He removed the cap and smiled at me.. I didn't gaze at him because of sure he might think that I like him.
" Hey. " Ash Ron uttered.
" Hey! " I greet back as I walked away and go to the kitchen.
" Yes? " He said as he walked towards me.
" Ralph is in the kitchen with Amelia. " I informed him. As I grab the plated that Amelia used after eating her breakfast a while ago.
" Sure. " Ash Ron replied as he smiled at me as he went to the kitchen.
I decided to call Ash Ron and my new set of friends to come over since this is also the last time I'm gonna them before I'll work as a model. I followed Ash Ron and tap his shoulder, he looked at me confused.
" What's wrong? " He asked me.
" Can I borrow your phone? I'm going to call your friends to come over tonight since I have an announcement too. " I whispered, but loud for him to hear.
" Here. " He said as he handed me his phone.
I dialed Kelly's number first as I took a deep breath and wait for it to be picked up and answered.
" Ash! " Kelly Exclaimed from the other line.
I cleared my throat before I voice out.
" Hey Kelly, it's me, El. " I said.
" El? Omoo Elizabeth. It's you El! Why do you have Ash Ron's phone right now? Are you two together? " She asked as she half shouted through the phone.
" Are you two dating? Omg did you do the fantastic part? Wait, is he courting you already? " She added.
" What? No , no, and no. I actually borrowed Ash Ron phone to call and inform you something guys. " I cut her busy overeating what I meant to say.
" Omoooooo, you both getting married? " She cut me off as she thought for an opposite one.
" NO! " I shouted this time.
" Oh! " She sound offended as the phone call covered with silence.
" That's not what you think it is, Kelly. I just called to invite you guys to come here since tonight is my parent's wedding anniversary and I have an important announcement and No, I'm not getting married or being Ash Ron as my boyfriend. " I said.
" Sure, I'll tell Felix to came with me since we have something to give to you. He-he! " She replied to me.
" Really? Great , see you later then! " I uttered as I end up the call.
I dialed Simon's number and I hope he is with Demon on their apartment right now. After four couples of rings, finally he picked it up and answered.
" Simon. " I said.
" Wait.... Who's this? " He asked me.
" It's me, El. I just borrowed Ash Ron phone to informed you something. And please don't overreact or say something , let me finish first. " I stated.
" Yes , go on. Spill the tea. " He uttered.
" Can you come over for tonight? Since it's my parent's wedding anniversary and I have something to announce. Is the Demon is with you right now? " I asked him.
" Yes, he is busy watching anime movie in the Sala. I'll tell him, we will come, El. " He said.
" Good! See you later, Simon! " I said as I end up the call to dialed Jude's number.
- Jude Answered the Call **
" Hey. " Jade said from the other line.
" Hey it's me, El. Can you come over for tonight? It's my parent's wedding anniversary and I have something to announce. " I said.
" Really? Sure , I'll pick up Gianna first, since she come to the pet store with my mother. Should I bring Gianna too? " He declared.
" Sure thing. I wound love to! " I answered and bid my goodbye to end the call.
I turn off the phone and walked towards the kitchen area. I heard the laughing of Ash , Ralph, and Amelia. I hope they didn't make a mess again, this is getting on my nerves. When I entered the kitchen, I saw Amelia face full of flour.
" WHAT'S GOING ON! " I Shouted.
Ash Ron , Ralph, and Amelia looked into my direction as stop from their truck. Tittle, Amelia without hesitation raised her both cute little hands as a sign of surrender.
It's not me, ate! It's Kuyah Ash Ron and Kuyah Ralph started it. " She said as she looked at me using her gray eyes.
" Go to my room, Mel. " I stated and walked towards the refrigerator to grab some glass of water.
Amelia is sitting in the counter's table in the kitchen, then she nodded her head in response of what I've said. She looked on Ash Ron and open her arms waited for her to be curried. Ash Ron lift her up and put her down as she didn't say a word and run towards my room in the second floor of the house.
" Ash. " I called his attention.
Ash Ron turned around and gazed at me, waiting for my statement. While Ralph is continuing doing the cooking while watching a YouTube video tutorials, such a great chef!
" Are you serious? " Ash Ron uttered as he stared on Ralph who did his best to follow the instructions given.
" Yes it is, can you help him, please? " I said.
" Or you must be the one who will cook, so he won't burn the kitchen and ruined the meals. " I added.
He nodded his head and put headset on his ears and he talks with Ralph and take over to be the cook for tonight special celebration.
I was sitting on the couch while Amelia is watching I'm the TV , and I'm scrolling into my phone reading a novel in a reading online platform when I heard someone is calling for my attention.
I looked around and saw Ralph waving his hands on my direction, signed me to come towards him. Not only that, but I stand up and do so.
" El , can you buy these ingredients for me? " Ralph said as he handed me a piece of paper and the money.
I didn't say anything, but I just nodded my head and left the house to go to the grocery store. I'm only holding the paper, money, and my phone as I drive off towards the nearest store in our village.
I'm busying looking for the ingredients to buy as Ralph as asked me to. The Cucumber that I'm holding was slipped into my hands and rolled over the floor. I was about to get it when someone did it for me. When the person handed me the cucumber, I finally saw his/her face. It's Jude, what a coincidence!
" Hey Jude! " I greeted.
" El. It's been awhile, how are you? " He uttered as he walked towards me and hug me.
" I'm doing fine, " I said.
" Good to know, " He said as he looked around looking for someone.
" What are you looking at? " I asked curiosity.
" I'm waiting for Gianna. She is getting some candy to add in our cart before we went to the counter. " He replied to me.
" I'll be going since I'm buying some ingredients as we cook the dishes for later on. " I uttered.
" Bye. See you later. " Jude said as he smiled at me as he waved his hands at me.
" See you. " I said and went into the other direction to grab all the ingredients I needed and went home after this.

I type it as I entered the bottom sent.
After a minute she replied.

She replied on my text as I took a deep breath. I must pick a decent outfit or dress, either from tomorrow. When I sent the message,, I looked ito the time. It's already 5 : 58 in the afternoon. Amelia went home to grab some clothes and take a bath to while Ash Ron and Ralph went home to change and be back before 7 in the evening.
Luckily, my father and mother went out for a date, and they didn't even know this surprised celebrate I made with the help of my friends and relatives.
I'm fixing my hair and done already putting some night make up to finished my look. I wear the dress that my father give me when he is still my Mr. Sam the Butler during my last year birthday. While I wear the earrings that my mother give me the same year too.

" Enjoy this night, El, since tomorrow is the first day of your dream job in the agency. " I monologue to myself as I smile and make some poses in front of the mirror before I went down to wait for my visitors to come.

Evening that day ***
It's passed 7:30 when we become complete, and I asked them to hide around the house. I turned off the lights in the house, so it's purely dark . Definitely my mother will feel confused since I always turned the lights in the house when I arrive first than her.
Its silence filled the house, only the breathing can be heard and the small laugh at Amelia in the corner of my eyes.
I sigh and signed her to stay quiet since I have no idea what time they will arrive home.
I was about to stand up to grab some water when I heard footsteps coming… When everyone heard it, they stay silent and waited for the door to be open.
" SURPRISED! " We shouted in unison.
I saw my mother looked so shocked and my father with his teary eyes looking at me. Ash, Ron and the rest of the team make some noises and Amelia jump up and down in happiness.
" HAPPY 22TH WEEDING ANNIVERSARY! " We shouted again.
I was holding a cake while Ralph is the one who is a documentary all the happenings and record a video about this special celebration.
I walked towards both of them and started to sing.
" HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY , HAPPY HAPPY , HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! " I sing with the rest of the relatives , friends , some business partners of my father in the company are all here to celebrate with me.
" Blow the candle. " I uttered.
" Happy Anniversary Ma, Pa. " I said, and wait for the candle to be blown.
When my mother blowed the candle, everyone clapped their hands and some of them are busy taking pictures of the scenario. I signal Ash Ron to get the cake that I'm holding, so I can be the first to give my presents.
The night went well and my relatives and friends spend it with me as they know the announcement that I'll be moving to the agency and stay there for good as I'm pursuing my dreams alone.
