Fiction

"Mmm, Mom, these treats hearts are magnificent! Where'd you get them?" Emma asked her mother inquisitively while stuffing her mouth with candy hearts.


"Olivia told me to give them to you. She came with Steph today. She also told me to give you this note." Emma's mother answered, giving her the note. "She said this was important ." She winked naughtily.


"Mother!!" Emma yelled, getting the note and quietly read it while her mother chuckled to herself.


"Well, what does it say Emma dear?"


Emma stopped and scowled. " 'Please look at the sweets hearts in the second box carefully, thanks. :)' Ummm what? I don't get Mom. What am I expected to do? Also, please give me that box." Emma said deep in her musings.


"Try not to stress Emma, you'll sort it out." Her mother answered, patting her.


Emma didn't rest that day, she reconsidered what her mother said and what Olivia's note read. At that point, she got a thought.


"Olivia said, '' 'Please look at the candy hearts in the second box carefully, thanks. That's it! Take a look at the candy hearts!" Emma shouted underlining the words 'sweets hearts'.


Emma rushed to the kitchen and opened the second box of candy hearts and shockingly, there was a significant contrast. She got the old box of treats hearts and looked at the hearts inside them.


"What in the world of candy hearts am I seeing here? This box has letters in them and the main, notes, typical notes, and… wait, there's a letter in this box." Emma read the note in the subsequent box and she was confused as it read: J offe ifmq, nffu nf upnpsspx bu 3. Also, on the back of the note, it said, 'Take away one from the letters' number, and the appropriate response is the genuine letter. Do this to each letter and when you translate it, return to treats hearts and organize every one of the letters into a 5 letter word. From that point forward, take the center letter of the word and consider your number one spot .'


Emma comprehended what she needed to do. She took a gander at the principal enigma and translated it. "J is the tenth letter along these lines, 10-1 = 9, so 'I'! Now, offe is 'need', ifmq is 'help', nffu is 'meet', nf is 'me', upnpsspx is 'tomorrow' and, bu is 'at'! So all together it is, 'I need assistance, meet me tomorrow at 3.'" Emma jumped with excitement yet feared the difficulty her companion may have found herself mixed up with.


At that point, she took out all the treat's hearts and set them down, and she saw the word. It was 'ducks'.


"Obviously! Ducks, my #1 creatures!" She said grinning. "Now, my favorite place that begins with 'C'… WAIT! Cario! But I can't go to Cario by tomorrow! That is absurd... Wait… Cario Super Mall! That is it, my favorite Mall!" Emma said radiating brilliantly!


"I think I need to go to Cario Super Mall tomorrow!"


With the fervor that she was going to the Cario Super Mall and anxious about the problem Olivia made, she rested failing to remember that the following day was her birthday.


The following day, Emma didn't know that it was her birthday, so she proceeded with her day-by-day tasks regularly and got ready to visit Olivia.


At the point when Emma arrived at the Cario Super Mall, she was stunned. This was no problem, it was a birthday celebration and, for me?


"Guys? What's happening?"


"HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMA!" All her friends and family members yelled. 


Olivia and Steph came toward Emma and gave her the present and said, "Happy Birthday Emma!!! You deciphered the code! Congratulations! So, for that, here, take this."


Emma opened the gift and incredibly, she got the most loved pants she needed for quite a while!


"OMG! Much thanks to you so much, you guys! I've been wanting these for eternity!"


Olivia and Steph grinned.


"Happy Birthday honey! We realize you needed an Apple Watch so..." Her parents gave Emma a neatly wrapped box and grinned to themselves.


"What? Mother? Father? Really!! This is the best birthday EVER!"


After Emma opened every one of her gifts and she was more joyful than ever! After the Birthday celebration was finished, she finally got an opportunity to talk with Olivia and Steph.


"Guys, for what reason did you make this so hard? Why trouble yourself with making puzzles and planning all this? Why not simply tell me to come over?" Emma asked inquisitively.


"Well then Emma, we would be you, and not us. We all are unique and every one of our thoughts is extraordinary and various thoughts are better compared to having something very similar without any difference, right?" Steph answered.


"Mmm, I never considered it that way. But still, thank you very much for the birthday celebration! It was awesome!"


As the three companions walked away together, they appeared to be the best guide to show that everybody is unique and we have to adjust to that, right?
