?Elva’s POV?

I froze right on the couch…
This is the same song that amazing voice always sing…yes this is it.
“This is it” I screamed painfully when i realised i had been lied to.

Mig is the owner of that voice !!

My eyes had gone red with anger,how could they lied to me ?
I kept telling them i hear a voice singing but they just kept on bringing up excuses.
If i hadn’t found this book,i wouldn’t have known Mig was the owner of that voice.

I heard the door open and gazed up.
Fleur walked in slowly, looked down and rushed to Mig immediately.
“Damn how could i have forgotten to check the weather forecast again” She said worriedly.
I glanced at her feeling hurt they could lie to me.
“Thanks Elva…” She said and i stood up.
“Elva what’s wr…”
“How do you explain this in relation to the voice i normally hear ?” I asked throwing the song book at her before walking to my room.

?Fleur’s POV?

I caught the book Elva threw at me and quickly flipped it open.
This is Mig’s song book … She has found out about Mig being the owner of the voice.
Damn !! We should have told her earlier,i know she’s angry right now for us lying to her but we did that to protect Mig.
Aaaargh… How could Mig be this careless?
Begging her is just gonna be hard.

I turned to look at Mig stirring beside me.
He flipped his eyes open and sat up.
“Are you okay?” I asked and he nodded rubbing his hair.
“Why did you take so long,if Elva hadn’t arrived on time,i don’t know what would have happened”
“I’m sorry..I was on my way home when i was called back for an emergency.. let’s keep that aside for now.
“Elva is pissed at us” I said.

“Really !! Why?” He asked and i threw the song book at him.
He looked at me confused.
“Elva has found out you are the owner of that voice and she’s pissed at us for lying to her” I said and his eyes widened.
“Damn !! I was just planning to tell her tomorrow ” He said getting up.
“Really?” I asked.
“Of course..I was planning to also move my piano to the garden” He said and i sighed.
“What are we gonna do now?” I asked.
” Come with me ” He said and took my hand, dragging me towards Elva’s door.
We got there and he knocked twice.

“Elva open the door,just let me explain” He said.
“There is nothing to explain,you both didn’t trust me enough to tell me the truth so i don’t think there is anything to explain” Elva said from the room and i can notice the hurt in her voice.
“Elva please hear us out first” I said, twisting the knob but i realised she had locked the door from inside.
“Elva..just open the door,then you close it back after I’ve explained” Mig said.
“I don’t need you guys explanation,you won’t even have told me if i hadn’t find out” She said.
“No i was planning to tell you and please keep Fleur put of this,i was the one who forced her to lie to you,she didn’t had the intention of doing that” Mig said and i glanced at him shortly.

“Elva, open this freaking door. We are sorry” I said.
“You guys should just leave for now. I’m not ready to hear any explanation. I’m still hurt because the only people i have as my family,the only people i trust lied to me… Please just leave” She said.
“Elva we are sorry,if only you could hear us out. We didn’t lie to you intentionally,we had reasons for doing so ” Mig said and i nodded.
“And i also have reasons for telling you both to leave my door.. leave !!” She yelled.
” If you don’t want to listen to us then it’s fine” I said dragging Mig back to the living room but we suddenly heard a door open and we turned back.

Elva stepped out of her room with her eyes looking puffy and i knew she had been crying.
She faced her feet,with her long hair covering her whole face.
Mig and i rushed to her,then pulled her into a hug.
“Elva we are sorry” We said and she sniffled.
She cries too easily…I noticed.
“I’m sorry for not wanting to listen to you guys,i know you both had your reasons for doing that” She said and i smiled.
She forgives too easily..I noticed.
“Thanks for forgiving us Elva,we are gonna explain everything to you” I said and she nodded.
“Thanks Elva and i..I love you” Mig said and that was when Elva’s face lit up in a smile.

Damn.. what’s actually going on between this two.
I cleared my throat and they both jolted put of their fantasy.
“I’m starving” I groaned.
” I made meat loaf” Mig said and i smiled.
“Come Elva,lets go have lunch then we will tell you the reason why we had to lie to you” I said dragging her towards the dining.

??????

?Elva’s POV?

“Whoa it’s getting dark” Mig said.
We were all sitting in the living room after eating meatloaf, they’ve told me the reason why they had to lie to me and i perfectly understand. I felt guilty for misjudging them earlier and we’ve played like how we used to so we are good now.
Whoa…I’ve almost forgotten about the cake and the things i bought.
It’s already night so i gotta start.
“Yeah..the night came quite quickly today” Fleur said.
“Guys can you please go to your room till i say you should come out” I said and they gave me questioning glances.
“Please guys..i got something to show you both. Just go into your rooms and I’m gonna tell you to come out later.

“Why do i have a feeling that something good is gonna happen tonight” Fleur said and i smiled.
They both stood up..
“I’m looking forward to what you wanna show us” Mig said and they both walked to their rooms.
I stood up and bounced happily to my room.
I closed the door behind me.
“First thing i need to do is get dressed” I muttered.

***

Few minutes later,I’ve gotten dressed in a black jumpsuit,golden ear rings,I’ve applied eye liner,facial powder and a little lip gloss.
I brushed my hair and styled it in a different way making it flow down to my waist.
I know I’m stunning even with the little make up i wore.
I grinned happily as i carried the cake to the living room.
I shifted the table to the center and placed the cake on it.
I brought out the two red wines i bought and placed each beside the cake.

Mig and Fleur’s gift is already wrapped,i also placed them on the table.
I arranged the living room and sighed satisfactory,i switched off the light bulb making everywhere dark before i called Mig and Fleur.
“You guys can come now” I yelled from the living room standing beside the light switch,i plan to switch it on immediately they enter the living room.
I heard the door of their rooms open and close followed by footsteps.
I stood anxiously and sighed when i saw the both of them enter the living room.
“Why is everywhere dar…” Fleur was saying before i switched on the light.

I saw a look of surprise crossed their faces as they stared at me and the table.
“I want to appreciate you guys for being there for me,for accommodating me even without knowing where i came from,for clothing me,feeding me,for making me even forget that i have a family somewhere,for making me your family,if i should start listing all you’ve done for me..we are gonna stay here till day break.. Thanks so much guys,I love you and you will forever remain my family” I concluded my speech by giving them a hug.
“Wow!! Elva i live you too” Fleur screamed hugging me tighter.
” Geez…Elva,seriously i don’t know what to say,you really surprised us and thanks so much for spending a lot just to appreciate us” Mig said pecking me lightly.

“Thanks so much Elva,i can’t believe you did this..it’s more than ‘Wow’ ” Fleur said.
“It’s nothing compared to what you guys have done for me. Consider this as a token..i should have done more if i had the ability..you guys are the nicest set of people on earth” I said and i was surprised when i saw them blush.
“Wow..Elva you are looking more beautiful tonight” Mig complimented and i blushed slightly.
“Thanks Mig,i just thought i could do with a little make up for this special night” I said.
“But all these must sure cost a lot” Fleur said.
“Not at all…there are still more money left” I said.
“Really?”
“Yeah”
“They probably sold it at a cheap price for you considering how beautiful you are” Mig said and i smiled.

“So guys i got this for you” I said picking their wrapped gifts.
“Thanks so much for everything” I said handing Fleur hers.
I did the same to Mig.
Fleur quickly tore hers open and i saw a ‘wow’ escape her lips.
“OMG…my dream shoe” She screamed excitedly jumping on me..we both fell to the floor almost tripping the cake but Mig had to quickly move it out of the way.
“Thanks so much Elva,you surprised me more” She said excitedly…
” You are welcome Fleur but I’m suffocating” I said and she quickly stood up from my body letting out a chuckle.
“Thanks so much Elva” She repeated and quickly tried on the shoes which fit her perfectly.
She cat walked round the room with her face full of smiles.
Mig giggled.

“Now let’s check mine” Mig said and started unwrapping his gift.
I stood back anxiously,hoping he will like the headphone i bought for him.
He finally unwrapped it and i saw a smile lit up his cute face.
I sighed in relief.
“OMG… thanks so much Elva, I love you” He said and i was damn surprised when he lifted me, rolling me in his arms.
I screamed in excitement enjoying the feeling.
“Thanks so much Elva” He whispered and placed a kiss on my lips before dropping me back on the floor.

“I’m so happy you guys loved my gifts” I said.
“Of course we would” Fleur said still checking out her new shoes.
“Wow i love this headphone..it look cool and cute but were you aware i love music?” mig asked and i looked over to Fleur who grinned widely.
Mig followed my gaze.
“Ohh..Drama queen told you” He said to me quietly and i chuckled.
“I have another gift for us” I said and brought out the three T-SHIRTS.
“Wow !!” They exclaimed.
“A lot of surprises tonight” Fleur said.
I smiled and handed Mig the blue one,passed Fleur the pink one and i also held the second pink T-SHIRT.

“Wow..I gotta put it on now” Mig said and wore it on his top.
“It looks great on you” I said.
“Of course it will,i gat the body for any clothe” He boasted and Fleur twitched her nose making me laugh.
Fleur put on hers and i also put on mine.
“Now we look like one big family” Fleur muttered and we all grinned.
“So about the celebration,i can’t wait to taste that cake” Fleur said and Mig shook his head.
“Food monger” He whispered behind her head and i laughed.
“So let’s cut the cake ..” I was saying before Fleur cut in.

“I have a suggestion” She said.
“What suggestion?” Mig and i asked.
“Why don’t we celebrate this in the garden” She said.
“Yes…why didn’t we think of that..” I said excitedly..
“Yeah..it’s gonna be great” Mig said.
“So plan planner,carry the cake while i carry the wines. Then Elva should come along with the rug” Mig said.
“Wow..I love that name plan planner,it sure suit me” Fleur grinned.
“Now let’s go party !!” She said carrying the cake already rushing off to the garden.

??????

We sat in the garden, chatting and eating the delicious cake.
Fleur has almost finished her portion and I’m sure she will cut more..haha.
“It’s a beautiful night” Mig said and we all glanced up looking at the sky.
“Yes it is” I said.
“Now let’s open the wine” Fleur said with a mouthful pushing her cup forward.
Mig grabbed the wine,we squealed in excitement as he popped it open.
He poured a reasonable amount in our cups each.
“Now let’s cheers” Fleur said.
“To what?” I asked.
“To our everlasting love for one another” Mig said.

“Cheers to our everlasting love” we all said and raised our cups up before clicking it together.
We downed the wine in one gulp and we poured more in our cups.

We emptied the wine bottles,Fleur and i are starting to get tipsy.
I laid flat on the grass and closed my eyes knowing that’s the end of the night.

???The next morning ???

“Damn…you both should get up and go get ready for work it’s 8am” I heard in my sleep and suddenly i felt taps on my shoulder.
I popped my eyes open looking steadily around.
I noticed the ground is wet beneath my body.
I saw Fleur still asleep beside me.
“Elva..get up it’s 8am, aren’t you going to work” I heard and turn to see Mig.
He started tapping Fleur on her back and she yawned loudly getting up.

I rubbed my eyes and it nearly popped out of it’s socket when i noticed we slept in the garden overnight.
Damn..I didn’t know the wine was quite strong.

“Geez !!!” I heard Fleur screamed loudly and turned.
“Elva it’s 8am,our resumption time” Fleur said and this time. My eyes popped out of it’s socket.
We both stood up quickly and rushed inside the house, pushing each other and falling down in the process.

I heard Mig’s laughter trail behind us.

Damn !!
