Sofia:
Two days later, in the most luxurious and biggest hall of Paradise Island, the celebration of my triplets’ fourth birthday took place. This is their first official party, because I always celebrated it, but in a very intimate way, with my mother, Benjamin and my two friends.
Honestly, I am not very much in favor of this kind of events, because I felt that everyone will look for in my children, resemblance with someone. Even more, with the reputation that Jose David and Reyner Medina had created for me.
The hall was decorated with hundreds of balloons. The theme was the figure of the unicorn, favorite doll of my triplets, who wore the drawing in relief, on their clothes, just like their father and me. All the decorations revolved around this.
Likewise, their grandmother Estefania and their grandparents Anastasia and Benjamin wore unicorns on their clothes. Also, her aunt and uncle Diana, Sasha, Sheyli and her cousins Sasha and Andrei wore unicorns on their clothes.
It was a social event that counted with publicity area, because from the sky, two airplanes deployed two huge billboards with the face and name of the triplets as well as Rafael and mine. We also had publicity in the social networks.
-Ready, my love? -Rafael asked me, holding my hand and looking even more handsome in these casual clothes, just like my children. I felt very lucky.
-Ready, my life! To receive our guests,” I answered, walking with him and the triplets to the entrance of the store, where there were two huge unicorns, made of a special material that made them look real.
I proudly introduced my husband and father of my children to each guest. For them, it was not difficult to identify the relationship between the triplets and him, because they are identical, including gestures, way of walking and talking.
My children looked so happy and proud, that all the guests saw them with their parents, especially Rafael. I never imagined that the fact that they didn’t have a father would affect them so much, since at no time did they ever complain to me.
-Mommy, here comes Aunt Shayla! -they shouted, happy to see their aunt, since they had not seen her for days. They ran to her, who hugged and kissed them, letting their tears flow.
-Why are you crying, Aunt? -Rafael Enrique, the most detailed of the three, asked.
-Because of the emotion of being here with you,” she explained, looking ashamedly at Rafael, as she did at me.
-Welcome, sister! -I affirmed, welcoming her with a big hug and kiss. She and Sheyli were unconditional with me when I got pregnant, neither of them questioned me when it happened. On the contrary, they quickly planned what we had to do, to have, take care of and provide for the three of us.
-Thank you, sister! I want to ask your forgiveness, for how stupid I was, to believe in the words of the one who I knew beforehand was your enemy,” she said, repentant.
“You can’t imagine, how bad I feel! Because I should have guessed, suspected that he would use me to harm you.
-Calm down! We’ll talk about that later, calmly. Now, enjoy our triplets’ party, they are beside themselves with joy and satisfaction for having their father by their side -I confirmed excitedly.
-Yes, I was watching them from the car! Because I was in doubt whether to go in or not. And I could see in their faces, the happiness, how happy they are, introducing their daddy to their little friends! -she added.
-Really, with Rafael they are more expressive and communicative! They don’t hide anything from him, now I found out about the bullying they were getting at preschool because they didn’t have a father.
-God, it’s unbelievable! In a place where there are only children who are just starting to live, and there is already this harassment, persecution towards others,” exclaimed Shayla, once again grateful to be here.
Then, she addressed Rafael with a more serious and sober greeting, because she did not know what his attitude towards her was, for the mistake he made with Jose David. To her surprise, he approached her and kissed her on the cheek, welcoming her to the reception.
-I’m glad you’re here! My children had already asked for you,” he affirmed. “Sheyli has your gift so that all of us, her relatives, have the same outfit,” he informed her. At this gesture, she smiled and looked for her twin.
Before starting the games and amusements of the party, the group hired by Rafael to entertain the gathering, made the official presentation of the two of us, as spouses and therefore, as the biological parents of the triplets.
At that moment, the same entertainer, with the remote control in his hands, left the place uncovered, without a roof, so that we could appreciate the low flight of the two airplanes that let us see the faces of the Corner Morales family in the air.
-Yippee, yippee, yippee, yippee, yippee, yippee!
-Yippee, daddy!!! -Plas, plas, plas, plas!
-Daddy! Thank you! -Plas, plas, plas!
cried my children, happy and aware that all this was the work of their beloved father. They, in such a short time, have come to adore him, as he adored them. After these expressions of amazement and admiration, the guests joined in the applause.
Rafael:
Honestly, I felt very happy and content at these expressions of love and gratitude from my children. The only thing I was missing was to be able to share this joy with my mother Camila, but apparently she had not yet learned the lesson that life had taught her.
My mother placed above my happiness, to please a person of such miserable feelings, that after seizing her fortune, she turned her back on her. Nevertheless, my happiness is so immense, that I will not allow anything to overshadow this day.
At the party there were sweets, cookies, chocolates, chocolates, chocolates, gumdrops and candies decorated with the same unicorn theme, as well as cakes. They looked spectacular. It was a delight for children and adults alike, everyone enjoyed it.
My children participated in all the games and competitions, which were coordinated and directed by the party organizing team. My family members, such as the twins and Estefania, shared and attended to the guests.
At the party there were prizes, gifts for everyone, the classic Pinata and cakes. Finally, Sofia, to my surprise, brought a huge cake on a table with a wheel, whose theme was Hacienda Los Rincones, with chocolate horses and everything.
-My love!!!! I can’t believe it, how beautiful! -I exclaimed with a smile.
Honestly, I felt an immense emotion, I walked up to her, took her in my arms, and kissed her in front of our guests. Everyone began to applaud. And so, they sang the birthday to the four of us with the musical group hired for the children.
It was an extraordinary party, I felt pleased, satisfied and proud of both my wife and my children. Finally, the party ended, we said goodbye to the guests, thanking them for their attendance and giving each one of them a souvenir with the triplets’ faces.
In Ciudad La Rosa:
In Camila’s residence, she was lying down, watching television, she was amazed and angry to see the magnificent celebration that in the neighboring Island, her son had made for his birthday and that of his sons, Rafael Angel, Rafael Argenis and Rafael Enrique, who turned four years old.
She was even more amazed to see the resemblance between the triplets and her son. Camila began to cry when she saw that Rafael had excluded her from his life, when he had not even told her that he had already been a father for four years.
For the media, this was also a surprise, because until now they did not know any girlfriend or fiance to the young and prosperous billionaire of Ciudad La Rosa. Since his girlfriend, Maria de los Angels Arguello, died in an accident, he had never been seen in the company of any lady.
And likewise, everyone on the Island was surprised, since until now the CEO of the most successful shipping company in the region, Sofia Morales, had not had any sentimental ties with anyone, despite having her triplets…
