Arwa came out of the room wearing a short tube frock with glitter, a white glitter jacket, and white sandals. She looked extremely cute and very beautiful.
When Louis saw her, he was surprised and started blushing a little. He couldn't help thinking about how cute she looked.
At that moment, Artha looked at her and said, "Wow, you look so adorable, especially in this little short dress."
Arwa replied, "It fits perfectly. It's just a little short."
Louis smiled and blushed slightly. Showing his affection, he gently extended his hand toward her and said, "Come on, give me your hand. Let's go."
Arwa started blushing too. Their eyes met for a moment, and slowly she began to extend her hand.
But suddenly Leo interrupted and said loudly, "Sister, come here! Come and sing a song for us!"
Before she could react, he pulled her toward the crowd and made her sit on a small stool made of thick cardboard.
Then he shouted loudly, "Everyone! Now my sister Arwa will sing a song for all of you!"
He said this in a teasing and playful way so that his sister would feel a little embarrassed.
When the people at the party heard this, they all started clapping loudly with excitement.
But Leon and Louis were thinking nervously in their minds,
Please don't sing… otherwise everyone at the party might run away.
Leo clapped again and said, "Come on, sister, start singing!"
Arwa felt nervous because she had never sung in front of so many people before. In her real world, she only used to hum songs quietly to herself.
She thought to herself, What if I make a mistake? What if I can't sing properly? Will people laugh at me again like they used to before?
Then she shook her head.
No… I don't want that anymore.
Taking a deep breath, she gathered her courage.
I will sing and let everyone hear my voice.
Leo was thinking in his mind, I know my sister cannot sing well. If she sings now, everyone will laugh at her.
On the other side, Louis and Leon already knew that Leo was doing this on purpose because Arwa was not known for singing well.
Then her brother Leon stepped forward and said, "My dear sister, you don't need to sing."
He said it in a slightly different tone, as if he didn't really want her to sing. Louis also supported him and nodded in agreement.
Arwa looked at them innocently and said sweetly, "But why, brother? I can sing well."
Leon quickly replied, "Of course you can sing… but maybe not today. What if your voice isn't good today and people run away after hearing your song?"
Hearing this made Arwa a little angry. She puffed her cheeks slightly and thought to herself,
Why don't they want me to sing? They haven't even heard me sing before.
No matter what happens, I will definitely sing today.
With determination, she stood up from the stool and walked confidently to the center.
Then she took a deep breath and started singing in her sweet, melodious voice.
The moment she began the first note, everyone around her became silent. The people who were chatting suddenly stopped and looked at her in surprise.
Her voice was so beautiful that everyone seemed almost enchanted.
Louis and Leon were also shocked.
Leon thought in disbelief, Since when did my sister start singing this beautifully?
Meanwhile Leo thought nervously, I wanted to embarrass my sister… but now everyone is praising her. At my own birthday party, all the attention is going to my sister!
But Louis, who was standing a little far away, kept watching her quietly. There was a gentle sweetness in his eyes, as if he wanted to keep listening to her voice forever.
Arwa continued singing while everyone listened in amazement.
When the song finally ended, loud applause filled the whole place.
Soon many young boys gathered around her, trying to talk to her.
But Leon quickly stepped in and started waving his hands to chase them away.
"Go away! Go away!" he said protectively. "Don't crowd around my sister!"
He tried to push everyone away from her.
Meanwhile Louis was still standing at a distance, watching her.
At that moment, Arwa looked up—and their eyes met.
Louis gave her a gentle smile.
Arwa immediately blushed a little and thought in her mind,
Was he… really smiling at me? ✨
After some time, the party finally came to an end.
Artha smiled warmly and said to Arwa, Louis, and Leon, "Thank you, all of you. Because of you, my son's birthday party became so lively and wonderful."
But on the other side, Leo was standing with a puffed face, his arms crossed tightly. He was clearly upset because instead of getting attention at his own birthday party, everyone had been praising Arwa.
Artha gently said, "Leo, you should thank them."
But Leo refused to thank Arwa. Instead, he angrily pointed at her and said, "You! Because of you, my birthday party was ruined. Just wait—on your birthday, I will sing a song too and take all the attention for myself!"
Arwa simply gave him a sweet smile.
Leo immediately started blushing and said stubbornly, "That sweet smile of yours won't melt me!"
Hearing this, Artha, Leon, and Louis couldn't help but laugh.
Leo quickly said, "Hey! Don't laugh at me!" still looking annoyed.
Arwa then bent down slightly, gently placed her hand on Leo's head, and softly patted it.
"It's okay," she said kindly. "You can sing at my birthday party."
She gave him another very sweet smile.
Leo's face turned completely red with embarrassment. He became quiet while everyone around them smiled at the cute moment.
After that, Arwa said goodbye to Artha, Leo,
Leo tried to hide behind his mother's legs, still embarrassed, but Arwa waved and said, "Bye!"
Then she walked out through the gate with Leon and Louis.
