Everyone was having a great time,
The great food, the drinks, and the amazing view were the perfect combination.
At 9:30 PM, Aurora and Ayia left the group to go to the kitchen.
They needed to bring the cake.
Theo thought they were going to the bathroom so he did not think much of it.
When the two girls arrived in the kitchen, they started the preparations.
Aurora took the cake out of the fridge and Aurora was organizing the other sweets.
But when she saw the cake, she exclaimed in admiration.
The cake had the format of a moon beautifully sculpted.
"It's so beautiful! Where did you get it, Aurora-chan?" Ayia asked excitedly.
"I ordered from one of the best bakers in the city. I had to ask Vivian for an appointment with the baker so that she could make this cake." Aurora replied full of pride.
"It's indeed very beautiful! Come on, let's hurry!" Ayia said with enthusiasm.
Aurora giggled and proceeded to arrange things.
A while later, they brought the cake and the sweets to the table outside.
"Big brother! Everyone! Come here!" Aurora shouted to everyone.
They turned their head and saw a beautiful moon cake and a bunch of sweets on the table.
Their eyes lit up when they saw that.
Theo and others arrived shortly with shining eyes.
"Before we cut the cake, I would like to say some words!" Aurora said suddenly.
Everyone looked at her and waited.
"Big brother, you are my family, my best friend, my personal cook." Aurora said with a playful smile.
Theo and everyone else laughed when they heard that.
"You are the best thing that ever happened to me. You were there to help me throughout all our difficult moments. I can't put everything in words about what you did for me because I would talk all night without stopping."
"But I would like to tell a story of when we were kids. I had some hair problems when I was a kid that I had to shave all my hair. I had just come back from kindergarten crying because the other children were making fun of my bald head. You saw me crying and hugged me until I fell asleep. The next day, when we woke to go to school I saw that you had shaved your head too. You said 'See? Don't I look beautiful? If I am beautiful while being bald, imagine you who are way more beautiful than me!'. I remember that I laughed so hard that day, from that day on, I didn't care about what the other children said to me."
"There are so many examples like this where you supported me. I would just like to say that I'm thankful every day to the universe for sending you to me. Happy Birthday, big brother!" Aurora finished her speech with a sweet smile as she ran toward Theo and hugged him.
Theo had tears in his eyes as he hugged his sister too.
Everyone was a little emotional after hearing Aurora's speech.
CLAP CLAP CLAP
But they clapped loud as they saw the siblings hugging each other.
Aurora let go of Theo and asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to make a speech?"
Ayia, Sam, and Kimiko raised their hands.
They looked at each other and nodded.
Kimiko went first.
"Boss, I would like to say thank you again for believing in us when nobody did. You taught us how to be better cooks every day with your work ethic, skill, and sympathy. We were rejected by everyone until Ayia called us saying about an opportunity. We never imagined that we would end up in an such amazing restaurant. I wish you all the good in this world! And Happy Birthday!" Kimiko smiled and hugged him too.
CLAP CLAP CLAP
The crowd applauded.
"Thank you! And I was not wrong! You are an amazing cook!" Theo replied laughing.
They all smiled when they heard that.
"I guess it is my turn." Sam commented.
"There are some moments in our lives that change our destiny. And meeting you, Theo, was my moment. I was just a small barista in a deserted coffee shop. But you saw potential in me that nobody saw. I would never believe that I could realize my dreams, but after meeting you I realized that dreams are just the next step of your process. Because you realize the dreams of people every day with the work you do. Thank you for everything you did for me, boss. And Happy Birthday!" Sam gave a smile and hugged him too.
CLAP CLAP CLAP
The crowd clapped loudly.
"I only did what was natural. I saw a super talented girl and hired her. I'm also thankful for your help with my crazy ideas!" Theo laughed.
Sam laughed when she heard that, she knew exactly what crazy ideas he was talking about.
"My turn! My turn!" Ayia exclaimed.
She took a deep breath and looked at Theo.
"Theo, I met you in the worst way possible, huh? I ran into you and made you drop your food on the ground." Ayia laughed.
Everyone else also laughed when they heard that, it was typical of Ayia's personality to do something like that.
"But after apologizing, you treated me like nothing ever happened. That day you showed me what I can do to help others. And you also showed me that happiness is also just by being there and giving a smile to a kid. You showed me that life can have a purpose. I'm very grateful for running into you that day and spilling your food on the floor!" Ayia gave a stunning smile.
She was never so beautiful as that moment because she was smiling at the love of her life and she was happy.
The crowd was a little taken aback by her beauty for a while.
"Happy Birthday! And I hope to celebrate this day in the following years!" Ayia finished her speech.
She gathered her courage again and hugged Theo.
CLAP CLAP CLAP
The crowd clapped again with enthusiasm.
Everyone could feel that most people there Theo helped more or less.
But if everyone could make a speech, most of them would say how thankful they were for Theo.
He was like a lighthouse shining in the dark sea, he gave them the path to grow and helped them through it.
They would always remember his help.
"It's time for the birthday boy's speech!" Someone shouted.
"Yeah!"
"Speech! Speech! Speech! Speech!" Everyone started shouting to Theo to give a speech.
Theo raised his hands and laughed.
He did not have a choice.
"I guess I will have to talk." He laughed.
"First of all, I would like to say thank you to my amazing sister. You are so important to me. I don't know what I would do without you. My favorite part of the day is when we have breakfast together. We seat at the table with warm hearts to enjoy each other's company. I did not even imagine that you would organize a surprise party for me. And I'm so thankful for you doing that. I love you!" Theo smiled at her.
Aurora replied with a sweet smile when she heard that, she was happy that her brother liked the surprise.
"I would like to also say thank you to all of you for coming here. It means a lot to me to see that so many people chose to come here on a Monday night to do a surprise party. I feel so happy that all of you are in my life. Thank you!" Theo smiled joyfully at them.
His smile was so brilliant and handsome that the girls blushed when they saw it.
They could feel Theo's happiness for their presence and they became bashful.
"And now that's enough, right? Because I want to eat my cake!" Theo laughed.
CLAP CLAP CLAP
They all cheered when they heard that.
