AUTHOR'S P.O.V

It is currently 11.00 a.m., and preparations for birthday party is completed. Just a small birthday party with family and friends all of them are busy doing their work such as choosing clothes for tonight, checking the guest list, making sure they have tight security and so on. Did I forget something 🤔... ah, yes the birthday boy my bad sorry... so it's Gabriele Ferrari's birthday. At first, he was shocked when he saw the preparations for his birthday because he thought they forgot. Now let's see what he is doing... he is in his room standing near the end of balcony looking at something on his phone.

GABRIELE'S P.O.V

It's my birthday today but I am not happy not at all. Not that I am not grateful for the party my family is throwing. I am grateful for it but it's just that my family doesn't feel completed without both of them. Looking at the pictures in my phone gallery there are only few pictures of them which I got from dad's phone. Both of them look elegant. This specific picture brings happy memories. I was 4 year old that time even though I was a child I remember it vividly.

-Past events-
All five of us were playing hide and seek in our mansion garden. It was Sandra's turn to seek whereas 4 of us to hide. As soon as she closed her eyes and started counting from 1-100 we all run in our separate ways to hide. Both mom and dad were watching us playing from a bench a little far from there. Sandra finished counting 100 and asked, "are you ready ?". But none of us replied to her we all kept silent and didn't even move from where we are. As Sandra didn't get any reply she opened her eyes with a frustrated look and started looking around only to notice mom and dad laughing at our gameplay. She started to look for us. She found Enzo first and it goes on like that until it was only her twin left. She couldn't find her twin even we couldn't find her. Minutes passed by until Sandra got tired. Finally, she gave up as she said "I give up" the moment she finished it someone jumped down from the tree scaring the sh*t out of us. It was her twin Elettra. Because of a sudden movement out of nowhere,   Sandra fall down since she was standing close to the tree. Mom sprinted to us when she saw Sandra. She came and picked up Sandra while she complained about our gameplay with scowl on her face "Mom they cheated, scold them". To which mom replied "Yes sweetie let me teach them a lesson," she said and started telling us that we shouldn't cheat but in the end, she winked at us which caused us to laugh. And that's when dad clicked the picture of us. A happy moment which I value the most but sometimes happy memories hurt the most.

Tears stream down my face as I keep looking at the picture. I wish they were here with me today. Mom was an angel she has never failed to be a lovely and a supportive mother.

I was close with all my siblings but I was the closest with Elettra she always protects me... all of us she loves and cares for all of us. She was the solution to everyone's problem.

I take one last look at pictures before switching off my phone placing it on my bed and walks to my restroom to take shower before the party start.
