"I'm putting my life on the line and I don't care, at least it would be said that I lived and loved recklessly,  because what is life without love? Without having this experience at all, without having  those chills and fireworks, and blood rush that wells up from within, from your toes to your head and back down in seconds?  Or is it the butterflies in my belly? giving me the best feelings ever to enjoy...

Phew! There's so much in love and life.

Life would not hold so much meaning if there were no love, I wouldn't know what it would feel like when he touches my hands, or look me in the eyes.  Life would be meaningless if I could not miss anyone. I wouldn't even have a heart, I think, because it won't beat if not for the one I long for"

Ariana thought, as she watched Brian fade out of her frame. Obviously, she was pretending because the doctor had already discharged her but she didn't want them (her friends) to know. The reason being that she was planning a surprise party since Christmas was already around the corner. Unknowing to her, they were also planning a house warming party for her, and Brian wasn't sensitive enough to know something was off when he went to visit her. Oh! well... I wouldn't blame him, he's had one hell of a crazy day, they've all had.

Do you remember Beatrice? the friend that always introduces Ariana to people? Yea, Ariana called her to send food vendors,  wines, fresh flowers, gifts and a whole lot to her house and placards displaying their different names and appreciating them for all they did for her.

On the other hand, Brian and Alexandra had arranged for the house to be decorated and her family members to be around. At least, her mom, brother and three (3) sisters were there when Beatrice arrived with all her vendors (Lol)...

It was an interesting sight as the different vendors setup their tables opposite each other in the compound because they obviously could not use inside. So Brian thought all that was happening was their arrangement, without knowing that the vendors on the left side were from Ariana while the ones on the right side were theirs. He also saw the placards but they weren't revealed yet so he could not tell for sure what was written on them, he just felt it was all part of their arrangement again. 

Beatrice saw the banner they made and hung on the wall carrying "WELCOME HOME ARIANA" and she could not make anything out of it as the distractions were much, even though she said to herself,  "why did Ariana want me to do all these when everything she has asked me to do was already taken care of. I'm just doing a double" she said...

They went on with everything they had to do; the lightings, flowers, buffets on both sides, setting of the chairs, etc was excellently done.  Trust me when I say, Ariana has got amazing people around her.

It wasn't long, Brian's aunt Isabel, arrived with her assistant, followed by Mr Anderson and his wife and Daniel and his lawyer Tony. Minutes later, Audrey came in with his colleagues as well (three of them).

As Brian came out to see his aunt, Beatrice saw him and was surprised how he was there the whole time and she didn't notice. Well, it's obvious because she was busy. They said their "Hellos" excitedly and he did a minute introduction to Aunt Isabel after which he ushered her to a seat.

Shortly after, Beatrice received a call from Ariana asking if everything was okay and if she could step in because she was just outside the gate. Beatrice assured her that it was fine for her to come in.

 Brian overheard their conversation and told everyone to get ready that she was about coming in and they got ready...

Five (5) minutes later, Ariana walked in and everyone stood up to welcome her while Brian hurriedly walked towards her...
