Party night

She looked at the mail in her mail-post. It looked like a fancy invitation card. She took it and entered her apartment. The not so very simple invitation card had her name written in golden letters. She tore the envelope in a hurry to glance at the card in it.

She noticed it was a handwritten one. The note said:

"To someone who met me in the library.

Has her presence always in my diary.

I have already assumed her to be a fairy.

Please grace this peasant with your presence in his birthday party.

Her eyes gleamed with happiness and a blush crept to her cheeks. She smiled from ear to ear and her heart was filled with warmth of his words.

She hurried her steps to her bedroom to find an appropriate dress for that peasants birthday.

..................

Ivan sat in the bushes to look at her checking her mail-post. His best friend Jason was also present with him. She entered her house and Ivan sighed. They both stood up, relieved that she saw the invitation.

Jason:Man, if she doesn't come, I will make fun of you about that cheeky poetry and this visit in the bushes.

Ivan:She will.... What if she doesn't, I am gonna hate my birthday.

He held her head between his hands and sighed again.

Ivan:Argh....what will I do if she doesn't come.

Jason: Probably a hot drink and a night with hottie.

He said to relieve his best friend's tension but it didn't helped.

Ivan glared at him with all the anger he had been storing under his pretty smile for years.

Jason: Oh come one. No fairy mother will come to let you meet to, your princess charming.

Ivan would laugh if it would be a normal day. God what he is going to do.

Evening

Ivan was looking at the doorway for such long that his eyes started to hurt.

Many people wished him 'Happy birthday'. But his birthday was not going to be happy untill she comes.

Jason approached him and stood beside him and looked at his watch. Waiting for your princess charming, Cinderella.

He said.

Ivan looked at him ready to punch him in the face.

Jason: Oh! Hiiiiiiiiiiii. Camilla.

Ivan turned around and found no one. He turned around once more to look at Jason ,to his disappointment there was no one. His calm face turned into a furious one.

The time of cake-cutting  was near and his mother called for him. He nodded and approached the cake which was surrounded by people.

He smiled masking his disappointment. Before he could reach he felt a push and the next minute his face was covered in cake. He turned around to found a very sorry Camilla, trying to supress her laugh.

Everyone looked at Ivan with wide eyes and Jason had the biggest smile of the century on his face.

Ivan was very particular about his things or events. He hated any kind of disturbance in his perfectly organised plans. Everyone was waiting for him to snap and yell at the mysterious girl at the party. But at their surprise he didn't.

Camilla approached him and gave him napkin to wipe the cake of his face.

Camilla: I am sorry I was late so I came running and pushed you by accident.

Ivan: Its ok.

He said with clear anger visible in his speech.

Nonetheless an another cake was brought and Ivan cut it with the hope of his love blooming in future.

Dance was going on and Camilla stood in the corner when Ivan approached her. He held his hand out to her and asked.

Ivan: Can I have the privilege to dance with the fairy present here. Or should I say... Can I have a dance with my school's perfectionist Camilla. Or can I have a dance with the pretty girl who has  made my visits to library such a pleasant occurance.

He winked at her and she averted her eyes and gave him her hand. Both of them approached the dance floor.

They started  swinging in each other's arms. The night became melodious.Ivan was today the happiest person. His wish was given to him.

Camilla placed her head in crook of his neck and whispered

"I love you"

....................................

Camilla checked her mailbox in the phone to find a message saying

"Reception party will start after 20 minutes"

She exhaled a breath and started fixing her make up.Wedding was finished 3 hours ago and here she was preparing for the reception.

She looked at her face. She looked gloomy.She had wished for this day in highschool. She always wished for her and Ivan against this world.

Who knew someday they would be against each other.

...

Ivan was walking in the corridor to find Camilla's room door cracked open. He looked at her. Her hair was in soft curls and she wore a beautiful pink gown. He was always mesmerised by her beauty. He wondered where his love was wrong, where his efforts were less, on which point the love turned into hatred, on which point life parteners turned into business parteners,

When did lovers turned into enemies?

.....

Ivan looked at the steps to find his bride entering the hall. She approached him and stood next to him.Her lips turned into a smile.

Ivan left her side to greet his guests.

When a message popped on her phone.

"He is eating well. He misses you"

Her eyes filled with tears. She wished to leave this drama and hug him but she restrained her self.

Dance music started playing and all couples were on floor. The environment reminded her of his birthday party.

A hand was held in front of her and she averted her eyes to the owner.

Jason

He smiled at her and held his hand further. She was going to decline when a hand grabbed her hand.She turned around to find Ivan.

Ivan: Let me be the only dance she does this night.

He smiled and dragged ger to the dance floor. And held her waist roughly and starred moving. She looked at him with rage in her eyes but didn't push due to the presence of guests.

When the music stopped Ivan said in a high pitched tone

"I hate you"
