I read it for the nth time trying to get a hint of the dispatcher from the content. After the Christmas wish, it was the second postcard with 2 triplets this time. I was exactly moved by the effort and thoughtfulness of the sender. But being anonymous was troubling.

I was the one who grabbed the daily this morning. As I unfolded the newspaper, an envelope fell down, addressed to me. I settled the daily on the table for my dad and stormed to my room. I unsealed the envelope to find a postcard with the poem and a head wreath.

I wore the yellow flowery hair wreath that lighted up as I wore and admired it in the mirror. It gave a very lavish look. But, who had sent it? As soon as the question arose, I removed the wreath post-haste. I told myself that I won't be wearing that wreath unless the unpublished sender was nabbed.

By afternoon, Ciara, my little neighbour came and soon we were heading towards the park. I knew it was all a chunk of their damn plan to get rid of me so that they could concentrate on surprising me.

Oh! Another usual not-really-surprising Surprising Party is waiting, I exhaled.

I knew they would give a party. Maybe I should be surprised at how much endeavour they proffer for my birthday to make it something spesh.

There in the park, I was mentally in an investigation; ruling out and in the names that could be the sender. Last time, looking through the possibilities I had ruled out Josh's name just because he got no isolated reason to do so. But now thinking over the latest conversation I had with Austin, I wanted to double-check on him as well.
