Chapter 95: Mira’s Speech
Mira finally stood as she spoke gently, addressing the guest.
"First, I want to thank all of you for being here today. It means the world to me to share this special moment with each of you, especially while Zamian is away. This celebration has been a beautiful reminder of the love and support I have around me, and I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful friends and colleagues."
She paused, her eyes scanning the room, filled with warmth from the smiles of those who came to support her. Her voice softened as she spoke of the personal journey she was embarking on.
"Becoming a mother is something I’ve always dreamed of, but I never imagined how much love I could already feel for someone I haven’t even met yet." She rested her hand on her growing belly. "Every kick, every little movement—it fills my heart with so much joy and anticipation for the day I finally get to hold my baby in my arms."
Mira’s eyes glistened, and she took a deep breath, steadying her emotions as she thought of her husband, Zamian. "And while I miss Zamian deeply and wish he could be here with me, I know he’s with me in spirit. I look forward to the day we can experience all of this together as a family. His presence is always with me, even when he’s not physically here."
She glanced at the thoughtful decorations around the room, the carefully arranged gifts, and the kind faces of her friends. "I also want to say thank you for the gifts, the kind words, and for just being here. You’ve made me feel cherished and cared for, and I will never forget this day. The journey ahead might be full of challenges, but with your love and support, I know I’ll be able to face anything that comes my way."
The room was silent as she finished her speech, her sincerity touching everyone. "I’m truly grateful for all of you, and I can’t wait to introduce my little girl to this incredible group of people. Thank you."
With that, a cheerful round of applause erupted from the guests. Mira smiled warmly, though beneath her composed exterior, she was trying her very best to hold back the tears that threatened to spill. She sat down, feeling a whirlwind of emotions—a mix of gratitude, longing, and the overwhelming reality of motherhood approaching.
"Okay, wow! That was a great speech! What do you all think? Wasn’t it amazing?" James asked with enthusiasm, his voice breaking through the emotional tension. Another round of clapping followed as the guests clicked their "Yes" buttons, causing a warm green glow to fill the room once again. It was a high-tech way of affirming their approval, but the glowing lights added a magical touch to the atmosphere.
