Last day was a special day for us. Our little cousin turned 5. We decided to hold a small party for her, bought some cakes, some drinks and the rest.
Everything was going on as planned. Children were everywhere, music playing, parents starting, trying to organise things. By evening, parents started calling the children to gather around to kickstart the birthday. Everything was going smoothly. Then the kids asked for more 5 minutes to prepare more because they were not ready. They were still dressing up, wearing their fancy clothes, their eyeglasses. Then one uncle around just said, let's just continue. Let's just continue. He's telling. And all of a sudden was the beginning of that illegal extension.
The DJ played the music. There were some extra drinks but everywhere was still okay.
The plan was okay. The vibes were calm.
But during the night, people started complaining and the neighbourhood was off noise.
The landlord came down and said, a lot of serious faces, peyote. He asked what was going on here. And everywhere was tense. There was a problem. He was insisting on them closing the party. But the kids were still having fun and the rest. They wanted to stretch their happiness. But sometimes not everything is good in this extension. And that was what caused the problem there.
Sometimes we just have to hide things soon and keep going. We wanted an extension. We wanted everything to go our way. But it didn't go as we planned. This was the illegal extension that we all talked about. For all day, we learnt an important lesson. We don't need extra minutes for everything. Sometimes it is better to end it when the happiness is still up.
