Drake POV
”Drake, do you want chicken or a steak? ”
”A steak would be nice. ”
”There you go, bro. ”
”Thanks, come eat with us, don ’t stay in the grill the entire day. ”
”Alright, alright, I am getting the last things done… ”
Today was a special day, it was my sister ’s birthday.
Almost half a year has been since I evaded my death in that avalanche…
I still think about that dream.
But I cannot do anything over it. I guess I have to eventually move on.
But for now, I just try to forget about it and have fun with the family.
It has been a while since we had a barbeque on the outside.
Today is summer so the sun is pretty bright, feels good.
My parents are here, even my grandma, and my sister ’s family. There ’s even my brother ’s fiancée. She seems to be pregnant; I am a bit excited to see his kid in the future…
The family is growing bigger…
I wish I could have a kid too.
Well… I had one… with Benladann…
But…
”David, how have you been, dear? How ’s work? ” asked grandma, as she sat near me.
”Ah, everything has been fine. I ended investing in a small company which suddenly rose up, so I quickly took out all the money and got a lot of capital, perhaps I might start a new project… I don ’t know yet. ”
”I see, I don ’t really know all about that weird thing about stocks. But it seems very complicated… And kind of like gambling, isn ’t it? ”
”Erm… Well, yeah… But not really! If you ’re smart and invest well enough, you can really make it big there. ”
”I see… Well, I know you ’re a smart man, so I know you ’ll do well. ”
”He ’s the big business guy in the family now. ” Laughed my brother.
”Hahaha! He ’s the CEO. ” Laughed my father.
”Come on, I am nothing like that. I just recently bought a second department. ” I sighed.
”Sheesh, that ’s a lot already! If you rent it, you ’ll get your life already done by then. ” Sighed my mother.
”Haha, I guess so. But it ’s not only for me, I just want to help everyone, so what I make is also for everyone ’s need. Brother is already soon to be father, so we have to get ready for the new kid. ”
”David, you ’re so considerate… Thank you. ” Said my brother ’s fiancée.
”Don ’t worry about it, you ’re part of the family now. That ’s what we do in the family. ”
”You ’ve really grown from back then, haven ’t you? ” said mother.
”Ah? Y-Yeah… I guess… ”

”Anyways! Let ’s celebrate this little girl ’s birthday already! Here ’s the cake! ”
My grandma quickly brought my sister ’s birthday cake, she was turning 37 today… Damn, she doesn ’t look 37 at all.
Well, the cake didn ’t have a number, most women don ’t like to be reminded of their ages, yet they like to celebrate their birthdays…
”Happy birthday to you! ”
Everyone began to sign, and I joined too.
This is all I could ever ask for…
This…
Is all…
