A few days later Buffy came to Josef's house to celebrate Val's birthday. She met Josef's father first and got a lot information about business from him. Actually, he was not only the owner of some famous restaurants but also several starred hotels in town. Therefore, Buffy absolutely did not miss her chance to dig deeper info as many as possible she could get from her experienced father in law to be.
Besides her mom, Buffy often asked for some wise advices and opinions to her boyfriend's father. She trusted and loved him a lot liked her own father. Otherwise, Josef did the same thing to Buffy's mother for they had lost one of their parents. Hence, they completed each other.
After having a deep talk with Josef's wise father, Buffy and Josef looked for the birthday girl. Then, they entered the swimming pool area where many guests had already cheerfully gathered there. They had a small barbeque party beside the swimming pool in the house. Dave and some close friends of Val stood together near the birthday cake table to join and cheer up Val's celebration of her new age. Val looked so happy and excited in the party that her family and friends had specially prepared and arranged for her.
Then, Buffy got ready to give her surprising gift. She got on the mini stage there and stood up on her own foot without any longer assistance from a wheelchair or even a crutch. All the people were really shocked looking at Buffy who was holding a guitar with her smiley face. Josef, Glorya and Val could not believe what they had just seen in front of them. They had no idea that Buffy actually had fully recovered from her bad injured foot. Buffy had successfully surprised them all without a doubt.
Then, she first congratulated on her bestfriend's precious birthday moment. After that, she slowly played the intro of the music and told that she would sing her own written song as a special gift for Valorie. She performed sweetly in front of the people for the first time after quite a long break eversince she had the falling lamp accident in the award rehearsal months ago. Buffy really enjoyed her singing and finally got a sweet hug from her bestie in the end of her impressive song on the stage. It was actually her sentimental come-back moment.
