It's like a bird's first experience of the wind

People are in awe and on their faces, you can see their amazement and admiration to the man himself. Those eyes were fixed on Zeus as he greeted the celebrant and his father.

"Happy birthday, Uncle Alex! It's indeed a glorious night! This is a small gift for you, I hope you don't mind Uncle! In respect, I will drink 3 glasses for you! Father, how have you been?" he signaled Paul to put the gifts on the gift table. The waiter came and gave him 3 glasses of wine. In a gulp, he finished it all.

Both Mrs. Elliot and Mrs. Artemis saw the young man standing beside their husbands and they decided to join them.

"Hahaha, young man! You really took after your father! Such a splendid young man! Brother, you really are enviable! Not only is he capable but is also very handsome! Right, right, Uncle is happy and satisfied with you, son!" Alexander happily patted Zeus' shoulder.

"Zeus, you've been very busy in the company that you forget to come home to see me. You made your mom so sad, you rascal!" Athena came with Esther on her side.

"Yes, this rascal don't even know how to go home now. I wonder if you deserved to be my son for making your mom sad." complaint by Zedrick.

"Father, Mother, It's good to see you healthy and young. Please overlook my short-comings." he bowed towards his parents and indifferently turn to Paul and signaled him to wait on the side.

"Indeed, his cold and indifferent temperament is the same as you were younger, Brother Zed." Alexander held his wife's hand as he led her on side. "Honey, do you think our daughter and Zeus would be a perfect match?" he smiled as he kissed his wife on her temple.

"Honey, only our daughter be the judge of it. I hope she is alright being away from home. I always gets nervous whenever she's away. It's not easy to have a daughter as it is to have a son, isn't it Athena?..Ever since that day..." Esther stopped herself from saying anymore. It's such a gruesome night and made her daughter's memory lost due to trauma.

"Hush, honey, Nothing can happen. I sent guards for her even when she's abroad. Thanks to you Brother Zed, for keeping her safe all these years!" gratefully Alex thanked his sworn brother.

"It's ok. Enough of this depressing things. Haha we should celebrate. It's been a while since we get together! I wonder if your daughter will be here as well?" Zed patted Esther's and Alex' hands. Comforting both of them.

"Yes, I hope to see my future daughter-in-law soon! I heard she is studying medicine in America and she is graduating this year! Such an amazing belle you got younger brother-in-law!"

"She is, indeed, graduating this year. So much things to do during this time, so I understand her when she told me that she can not come home to celebrate my 50th birthday. Although, in all honesty, I am a bit lonely because even my son, Xander, is not here because he has an important appointment in our client in S country." sighed Alex. Hearing this, Esther comforted her husband in a subtle way.

"Honey, it's ok. I'm always here for you. Children, as they grow older, they fly to experience the wind. Let us be their nest when they want to rest." Esther said.

A bird flapping her wings, experiencing the wind sings.
