Male Female

We all attend special events in our lives. I have also joined many events in my life so far. As far as I remember, the most special one was the last birthday party of my girlfriend, who is also my cousin. All of her sisters, including my mother, attended the event on 8th February 2025. All of my cousins, including my sisters, went there with my parents. That birthday party was special to me because, although I was not beside her when she was cutting the cake, I was in front of her. I saw the happiness in her eyes as she cut the cake. Although she could not help the cake into my mouth, neither could I. But we enjoyed that moment as we saw each other, especially on a day like her birthday. That event was special to me because it was the birthday of my better half. I never thought that I would attend such an event.
