Note: This is a third person's point of view
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you"- Odette sang it to her husband with a smile on her lips.
"Happy birthday hubby!!!"- she said.
Her husband didn't reply and just stared at her coldly.
"Uhm you should make a wish and blow the candles now hubby"- she told her husband and motioned the cake to his direction.
"If I make a wish, will it be granted?"- her husband, Forres asked.
"Of course! You just have to believe that it will come true"- she answered with a smile. Then suddenly, her husband smiled and closed his eyes. He then started to utter a wish and blew the candles. After blowing the candles, Odette's tears are starting to flow from her eyes at the same time feeling the pang on her chest.
"Your wish will be granted...hubby"-she whispered. Her husband looked at her and said
"It should be"- then left.
That night Odette cried her heart out. Her husband's wish is too painful but she have to grant it. She's afraid to do so but it is her job to make her husband happy.
"This will be the last time I'll be seeing you my love"- she said as she caress Forres' head.
"I love you and I always will. Please remember that"- she kissed Forres' forehead and hugged him for the last time. After that, she closed her eyes and fell into sleep.
Forres woke up from the bed feeling empty. He just had a dream that his wish came true and his wife vanished as she was sleeping. He tapped the other side of the bed and felt nothing. No one was beside him.
"I think she's cooking breakfast again! How many times do I have to remind her that I don't want to eat the food she prepared?!"- Forres asked himself as he got off from the bed. He hurriedly walked down the stairs and made his way to the kitchen.
But to his surprise no one was there. He didn't saw his wife cooking and that's the first time. He tried searching for her in any part of their house but still he didn't saw her not even her shadow. He still tried to look for her but he only got nothing. Then, their wedding picture caught his attention. He was shocked after seeing it. His wife was not even there! He looked at the picture intently but he's not imagining it. It is real. He's the only one that can be seen in the portrait. He looked at the every picture frames displayed near their wedding picture but he's the only one in there. Suddenly his dream came into his mind. It is Odette saying 'i love you' to him. He felt a painful pang in his chest. It is too painful to handle it. He did not notice but his tears are escaping in his eyes and suddenly start sobbing.
"I'm sorry, i am so sorry wife. Please come back please I'm begging you"- unconsciously he said. Memories started to flood in his mind. The beautiful memories that he chose to ignore. Then he realized it. It is his wish. He wanted it to come true. He didn't realize that it was this painful. He didn't realized that he lost a very special person in his life. He is now regretting it. The memories he had with his wife are starting to fade. He is starting to wish again but it was useless. No one will grant his wishes now because the person who granted it faded already as he wished to make her vanish in his life forever.
