Freeing himself from the guests, Wilbur escaped for a while to see his daughter. He didn't expect he would get a shock of life seeing Cutie in an adorable princess-style dress. "My Savny is so lovely today." Lifting her, Wilbur kissed her cheek lovingly.
"Thank you, dad." Cutie giggled.
"I can't believe she has turned five, Will," Jane said, wiping her happy tears.
"Thanks for giving such a beautiful daughter." Wilbur's happiness knew no bounds today. He has built a happy family of three.
"Well, don't forget you contributed your sperm." She muttered in a low voice.
"I have lots of_"
"Alright, Mr. Hayes." Jane hushed him. "Let's go. We are getting late for the party."
Wilbur grinned nodding his head and stepped out of the room along with Jane carrying Cutie in his arms.
"I think she forgot about him," Wilbur whispered.
"I hope she doesn't create a ruckus after seeing him," Jane muttered smiling at the guests.
"Happy birthday Savny Hayes!"
"Happy birthday to the bullying Cutie!"
"Happy birthday, bully girl."
Once they reached the table, Cutie's neighbor friends appeared in front of her wishing her a happy birthday. Of course, even all the guests surrounded her to greet the adorable little Savny. But Cutie's attention was solely on the gifts. Seeing the gifts that were piled up on the table, Cutie's eyes twinkled. She has planned to bunk the school tomorrow at any cost and unwrap the gifts.
The kids licked their lips waiting to taste the mouth-watering cream as the candles were put in.
"Wow! Yum yum, cake." A little boy screamed.
"Blow the candles fast, Savny." A kid named Lisa said in excitement. "I want to eat the ceam."
Claps blasted in the air when Cutie blew the candles. Wilbur and Jane held Cutie's hand and helped her in cutting the cake. The guests came forward helping themselves with a cake while wishing her a happy birthday.
"Happy birthday Tootie." Leena pulled the cake piece and put it into Cutie's mouth.
"Thank you Eena." Cutie giggled puffing her cheeks while eating the cake.
"Where is Devin?" Jane asked staring at the crowd but she couldn't see the figure.
"He got an urgent call. He will be back in a while."
When Devin did not appear for a long time, Leena got panicked. What's taking him so long? She searched for him and found him standing in the garden staring at the sky as if he was in deep thought.
"Is something bothering you?" Leena asked encasing her arms around his waist from behind.
Devin got surprised at how quick Leena is in finding his whereabouts. He got a call from Nick about the people he met at the business events and time passed as he was on it. Clasping her arms with his, he said. "As long as you are with me, nothing matters."
Laying her head on his back, she mumbled. "You are tied to Leena forever."
"Eternally." He muttered. "Did the celebration ended?"
"Yeah. You did not even wish her."
"Let's go then." Devin and Leena hand in hand went to talk with the birthday girl. While Cutie was playing with Andrew, her gaze unconsciously shifted to Leena and Devin, and all of a sudden, her expression darkened as if her heart broke.
GLASS SHATTER!
"Hey, Tootie." Leena smiled sweetly. "Where is your crush? Look, I brought my husband. Now tell me who is more handsome?" Leena possessively clinged on to Devin. Watching her dumbfounded expression, she knew Cutie will take back her words.
"Happy birthday, Savny." Squatting in front of her, Devin ruffled her hair lovingly but Cutie was staring at him with her watery eyes.
"What's wrong, Tootie." Leena got panicked when the blabbermouth Cutie was keeping silent all of a sudden. When Leena reached her hand to wipe the tears, Cutie swatted glaring daggers at Leena. The dam finally broke.
WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHWAAHHHHHHH
Rolling on the floor, kicking her legs, her sobs echoed in the air. Thank God, the guests have already gone, and only the families were staying. If not, they would have blamed Wilbur and Jane for making the little girl cry on her birthday.
Hearing the cries, everybody panicked. Wilbur and Jane talking with Francis and the rest others rushed to the spot.
"Savny...What happened?" Wilbur tried to lift his daughter from the floor, but she was acting like a rampant beast kicking him, beating him. He knew she would feel sad but never expected to this extent.
"Why is she crying seeing Devin?" Leena muttered and her gaze at Devin. "Did you fight with her?"
"Of course no." Devin felt awkward when he was put in the spotlight. His mom and dad were looking at him as if he has bullied the little girl. He looked at Cutie and smiled. "Savny, don't you remember me? You always call_."
Her crying hysterically raised the more he spoke to her.
'OMG! What have I done to her? Last week alone, she made a video call and spoke happily.'
"Eena....Eeena" Dripping with spite, Cutie drew a finger across her throat, showing a cutthroat gesture to Leena. Not only that she bumped her baby fists together, kicked her right leg in the air directing towards Leena. She repeated the three motions continuously. All the while, her crying did not stop.
Although the people standing shouldn't be laughing, seeing Cutie's state, the three gestures she was making continuously was not helping them either. They broke into fits of laughter.
Leena opened her mouth, but not a word came out. She has taught the three gestures to Cutie to use on her dad but did not expect this brat would come and bite the owner alone. When Leena connected the dots of Cutie's anger directed towards her, she understood. Cutie's crush is none other than Devin.
"Savny Hayes..." Cracking her knuckles, Leena's voice hardened ruthlessly. "You have eyed my husband? My property! " When Leena took a step forward towards her, Devin immediately pulled her back, holding her tightly in place. "Release me, Devin..." Leena tried to break free from his clutches.
"Wilbur, take Savny into the house," Devin ordered and lifted Leena onto his shoulder and carried her out. Until both were out of their sights, the crowd exhaled a loud sigh.
"I sensed third world war, France," Fredrick muttered.
"Even I thought the same but thanked God; it ended before the start." Francis retorted.
.....
"Cutie, don't cry. There are many handsome men in the world." Lending a handkerchief to Cutie, Elsie spoke up. "Your dad will bring the best one."
"Elsie is right, Cutie. Mom and dad will bring the best for you." Wilbur consoled the sobbing little one. His heart was in pain seeing her red face due to continues crying, but he could do nothing in this matter.
"D_ad, bing me watel," Cutie struggled to voice through a hiccup.
"I will get it." Jane nudged her husband, and both left the room to give some space to Cutie. Elsie was with her, so they were not much worried.
"Essie, you have bollowed ten dollals from me." Cutie started.
"It was only yesterday. I will pay you back next month," Elsie pouted.
"Don't payback. Do you have a mobile?" Cutie asked the moment her dad and mom are out of her sight. She planned to give nine dollars to Elsie as a bribe. The remaining one dollar, she has a plan.
"Yeah," Elsie said. "I brought my mom's."
"Can you open googoo voice?"
"Okay." Elsie opened the voice search. Since their spellings are not even at the toddler level, they use the voice search option when they want to find something in Google. Elsie's jaw dropped to the floor when she listened to Cutie talking with google voice.
"Googo. How to sell my aunt for one dollal on Amazon." The moment she pressed the search button, Cutie's mood brightened when it showed several links but little did she know it was all crap.
Elsie: " "
