And placed his hand over her eyes.

He guide her forward a few more steps until she felt the cool evening breeze hit her face .

Keifer - Okay, Open them.

Jay blinked against the sudden wash of illumination, and her breath completely hitched in her chest.

The darkness had vanished, replaced by an absolute brightness.

And after few steps ahead , there are

So many photos hanging there .

Thousands of fairy lights were strung through the branches and bushes like a galaxy of captured stars, turning the entire garden into an enchanted forest.

Before she could even process the anything , dozen of familiar voices erupted from the shadows: "Surprise! Happy Birthday, Jay!"

Gasps, laughter, and cheers filled the air as her parents, her closest friends stepped out from the glowing pathways, grinning .

Jay clapped both hands over her mouth, her eyes welling with sudden tears as she looked around in absolute disbelief.

Jay - You... all of you? But how? When did you-?

Her tita -We've been planning this for weeks .

Jay - for weeks -?

Keifer - yeah .

Jay's gaze drifted deeper into the yard.

At the center of the garden.

Keifer stepped up beside her, wrapping his arms around her waist and resting his chin on her shoulder.

Keifer-Well? Do you forgive me for making you work today?

Jay turned around, burying her face against his chest as a watery laugh escaped her lips.

Jay - I forgive you for everything , This is the most incredible thing I've ever seen.

Keifer - then worth it our work .

Jay - wait, Is it my birthday-oh my god. I completely lost track of the date!

Keifer stepped up beside her, wrapping an arm around her waist with a smile.

Keifer - I told you I had it handled. You've been so buried in work this month, you forgot your own birthday. So, we decided to bring the celebration to you.

Jay's gaze drifted deeper into the garden.

Standing in the center of the glowing garden, surrounded by the people she loved most, Jay realized she had never been more happily surprised in her life.

Keifer - okay let's cut the cake.

Jay - hmm.

Then she cut the cake and feed them and all celebrate her birthday.
