บท 4: miss a beat❤️

Months passed and Sarah was going to turn 8 ,I decided to celebrate her birthday for the very first time. I decided to invite all her school friends and neighbourhood friends at home. We decided that we would order pizza, and I will make the cake,cupcakes at home with noodles,barbeque burgers. A day before her bday I went to supermarket and bought everything. That night I prepared the cake and stored it in freezer ,and also did some preparations for the next day. That night the three of us cut a cupcake and I gifted her a knee length dress. Sarah was very happy with her dress. Next day I woke up early and started preparing everything. Kids had their school so after they went to school I decorated the house a little. That evening her birthday was a huge success. Sarah looked like a doll with her braided hair, blue dress with her sandals. Her friends enjoyed a lot . She was very happy and I had tears in my eyes. For the first time I could do something for her. I promised myself that I ll work hard for my kids. I started experimenting with recipes and started writing a blog. I didn't have too much followers but it gave me another level of satisfaction. That may Niomi called me and told me that her boss wanted to meet me regarding a party which their office was having. She asked me if next day would be okay for me, and I gave my affirmation. Next day I reached office,and she took me to another floor which had a class. Everything was super pristine and then she knocked on a wooden door. When we entered I saw the same man who had my cupcake last time I was there. He acknowledged us and told us to sit. He informed me that they were having a huge party on the completion of 25 years of their company and he wanted me to cater that. I told him that it's a huge order and I haven't done anything like that before. He told me that he has faith in me which was quite shocking as this was the first time someone showed so much faith in me. I felt confident and told that I would do it. We discussed about the menu, the presentation, the number and the requirement. He told me that he would give me some advance for the supplies and if I need any more help I can ask him directly. He gave me his personal number and step by step eased all my doubts. I left the office with mixed feelings. This could be my break - I was tensed and ecstatic at the same time. I reached home ,boiled the kettle and took a pen and paper. I decided to hire help as the event is next month. I ll ask for help in the neighborhood. Now may be I can buy everything my children dreamt of. I felt that a power is helping me and guiding me. With a determination I started everything. My husband and I didn't have any incident till the last time. I don't know what changed but now he doesn't bother me. I have to live for my children. May be I can buy dew a Xbox for his bday next month. That day when children came home, I noticed dew had fever. I gave him some soup first then gave him medicine. In the evening I took him to doctor. He had viral fever and the doctor advised him rest. Next days passed by with dew in the bed with high fever and weakness. I started the preparations and found a help. Amy was a married woman with a child. She would come for 3-4 hours to help me and I paid her daily. There was 2 days to event and Niomi called me for follow up. I told her that everything was being prepared and I added a new recipe for cupcakes. She was very encouraging.
