How fast time goes by, tomorrow I will be celebrating my birthday again and I asked my family to be present because last year only my husband and I celebrated. As a special gift I asked my mother to be in charge of bringing my grandmother Yeyita, she is very special to me, I hope she can please me.
I ordered the snacks and cake with a small local company, I have good references and I hope everything is as delicious as it looks in the social media posts. I also rented chairs, tables and an awning to protect us from the sun or rain, now with the variations of the weather you never know what can happen.
It dawned and my husband woke me up with a delicious breakfast in bed, of course he didn't prepare it himself because even the water burns, he ordered it with an application from his cell phone. I enjoyed my personalized breakfast that contained pancakes dipped in honey and feta cheese, yogurt with strawberries and granola, coffee with milk and cinnamon, natural orange juice and a chocolate cup cake with a birthday candle. I didn't even leave the crumbs.
After a while, the party planner showed up to set up the space, then I received the snacks and cake and my husband was in charge of getting the drinks. My family started to arrive around 2:00 pm to help me with the preparations and my mother pleased me with the presence of my beautiful grandmother. There were about 20 of us and we enjoyed ourselves to the fullest. As was the family tradition, I unwrapped the presents at the end, once the party was over and after we had bathed and put on our pajamas.
My grandmother as always showed up with the biggest box, wrapped in bright red shiny paper, adorned with white roses and a personalized card. "Wooooow a super coffee brewing machine! Thank you Yeyita," I exclaimed excitedly. "Enjoy it, I know you wanted coffee-related artifacts." She replied. "This machine must be expensive, I'm sure you spent all your pension money to buy it.", I commented. I commented, "How naive my granddaughter, the pension is not even enough for the capsules that are in a separate box haha." She replied. "The important thing is that you enjoy it" Said my grandmother with a sweet smile.
I enthusiastically went to the kitchen to place it in the best place and commented to use it for the first time, but no one supported me. Everyone was tired and suggested using it in the morning. We retired to our rooms and as soon as I heard my husband snoring, I got up and walked carefully to the kitchen, I had to try that machine. Not wanting to waste any more time, I plugged it in and immediately the buttons lit up, Classic, Rich, and Specialty were the alternatives.
It was my special day so that should be the first coffee to be tasted. I pressed the button once after placing the cup in the space designed for it. The aroma was indescribable, it made my mouth water. As soon as it was ready, I sat on the terrace under the stars to enjoy the pleasant moment. Shortly before finishing my coffee, I felt the need to leave the cup on the floor or I would drop it at any moment. I closed my eyes and felt a shiver run through my body.
When I opened them, I was completely confused. I didn't know where I was, I was just enjoying the warm and pleasant surroundings, I conceived myself safe and comfortable. But no matter how hard I tried to identify the place, I found no answer. Until I heard my mother's voice and then I heard my grandmother. Again I looked around...Oh my God, I am a fetus, I am in my mother's womb, I am not born, how could this happen, I was scared, but I knew nothing bad could happen to me. My mother expressed to my grandmother how happy she was for my early arrival, the next day they were supposed to be at the clinic first thing in the morning.
My grandmother was giving my mother the last recommendations before the most awaited day for many members of my family. She also gave her the tendrils that the nurses would put on me and an azabache to protect me, brought from the Venezuelan Amazon. I felt my grandmother's hands and my mother's as they caressed her belly.
I calmed down and started to enjoy the stay, I played with the amniotic fluid, watched my hands, my fingers and even started to suck my thumb. I wanted to change position, but it was impossible, I was already a considerable size, about 53 centimeters, I stretched my legs as much as I could and listened to my mother complaining about the kicks. I was like that for a while until I started yawning and fell fast asleep.
An unexpected rain shower woke me up and I ran into the house. What a crazy experience, there was something more than a dream, I am sure it was real. The next day I insisted with my mother and grandmother to tell me what they did the day before I was born. Upon hearing the story, I knew right away that my experience had been true. They had never mentioned the tendrils or the protective jet before.
This concludes my participation in the initiative. I take this opportunity to invite @yolimarag to have fun creating a fantastic story.
