Shiny was in her room, after dinner at her study table, lost in the book, she had taken from library.
Isabella came with the glass of her milk.
" Your milk. " Isabella said to Shiny disturbing her. Shiny looked at her mother, and made a disgusting face, and shook her head, in no.
Isabella knew it, seeing the milk she always behave like this. That's why she was standing there to keep a watch on her.
" Mamma, Noo....." Shiny made a cry face to her mother, so as she could melt her Mamma's heart.
But her Mamma, is her Mamma, after all. She feezed her ear, and said " Drink it, otherwise..".
When her mother's heart didn't melt, she finally took the glass in her hand, and took a sip.
" Fine!!! Now it is Okay... " Shiny said to Isabella after one sip.
" Finish the whole!! " Isabella stood by her side, waiting and seeing the queasy behavior of her daughter.
"Choosey!!! " Isabella said to her daughter.
"By the way... Was everything okay in your college, today? " Isabella concerned about her daughter, asked her?
Shiny finished the cup, kept it on the head drawer of her bed. And took her Mamma to her bed, closing the books.
Actually,... she wanted to say everything, that she felt in Avery behavior, today. And she wanted to discuss about the Fresher's Party too.
She made Isabella to sit on the bed, and got slept in her lap. Isabella got understand, she want to talk about something. Isabella started stroking in her soft, silky golden hairs.
" Mamma !! " She called Isabella in a soft voice. " Huhh!!! " Isabella answered to her baby.
"After two weeks, there is Fresher's Party in my college, should I go? " Shiny ever discuss, everything whatever happens to her, whether that was in school or college. She has this habit from childhood.
Isabella and Ben, are not attached to Lucas, that much, that much they are with Isabella. As Lucas ever have a busy schedule, that he rarely become able to celebrate his childrens birthday. But he is an honest person, with his workaholic nature, to his family and profession both. But, yet he lives in his professional life, more than in personal.
" Yes!! , why not? " Isabella replied to her.
" But Mamma.... I don't have any beautiful dress, to wear at the party. " Shiny said her problem to Isabella.
" So what, my fairy.. always look like a fairy, no matter what she wore. " Isabella reply, made Shiny out of words. As she too know, that her mother is right.
" But Mamma, what about that David? " Shiny said her next problem.
" Shiny... I think, you should learn... how to cope up with such guys... What if you fall in such problems, in future? But if you don't want to go, then don't go. " Isabella wanted her daughter to learn to cope with such scumbags.
" I won't go." Shiny replied to her Mamma.
And get up from her lap, and went to her college bag, took out a card. And handed it to Isabella, and slept again.
" What is this? "Isabella asked her daughter.
" Mamma !! this is Avery's Birthday Invitation Card. Today, in college, she personally invited me, to her party. I had thought it, why she is so changed.
Actually..Mamma... in our college a handsome guy is coming. He is going to join our college, from Fresher's Party. And she likes him. And that's why, she want to have a good relationship with me. So as I don't snatch him from her." Shiny explained the whole matter.
" Soo... you want that handsome boy!! " Isabella teased her daughter. As Shiny don't have any sister, so Isabella always complete that absence.
" Mom... I don't like that scumbag. He is a monster. You know what, his family is a Mafia Family, and he follow his ,family profession, from childhood. And I heard it too, that he torture boys and girls both. Yet, he didn't have any record of girlfriends, as every rich family's son have. " Isabella got understand that, he is not a good person whom Avery like.
" Avery knows it!! " Isabella asked in concern for Avery.
" She likes him, only because of his these qualities.. As she is... as her choice is.
But she was really so serious about him. " Isabella got understand everything. That Shiny wanted to say.
" Soo.. I want to ask you that I should go there or not? " Shiny asked her mother.
" If she want to make a good relationship with you, then I think you should go. And you would be able to start you new friendship with her, without any awkwardness. Otherwise, at school, you could feel a bit distance. Even if you became friends. " Isabella wanted that Shiny make anyone her friend. She doesn't wanted to see her alone everywhere, wherever she go. If she would be friend zone, then she would be some bit away from her worries, that she would fall in any trap.
" But Mamma... she could play a trick with me too. " Shiny said what she was feeling, about her this treaty.
" No matter, my dear... Even if she is calling you to her party, to make your fun. Then I think, now my fairy is not that weak, that she won't be able to answer her nuisance.. I think you should go, you shouldn't leave this golden chance to end your enmity with Avery. "
Isabella said to Shiny, everything she wanted to say. After that, it's Shiny's choice.
Isabella left her room, and went to sleep. Shiny is now in dilemma. Because her Mamma said to go, but she didn't want to go.
Shiny fall asleep, thinking she should go or not to her birthday tomorrow.
The sunrise is so sweet, and a thing that Shiny likes to see in morning. She had her breakfast and went to the college.
As today, her classes were earlier than usual. When she reached the class, she heard it, that Avery has not come, that means her tag trip too. But to her surprise, today she didn't bumped into that David.
'Is he too, hasn't come? But what wrong with him. She can mean it, that Avery didn't come, because today she would be busy for her Birthday Party. But what's wrong with him?
But no matter, it is good that he hasn't come. Today, I can stay in library. After all in this college, there are only a few, who are interested in study. And I come in them!! '
...
Shiny was looking busy in her book. But, her mind was not there. She was thinking, that she should go or not. And finally, she thought , she should listen to her Mamma.
.....
In evening, at Flore's Resort.....
Avery was in her hotel room, with her friends, which her dad had booked for her party. The party was held in the lounge booked by her father.
She was dressed in white, off-shoulder fairy like gown, in which she was looking like an angel who has been just footed her legs on this earth from sky.
" Avery, Do you really think that she would come? " One of her friends asked her.
" She would definitely come. If you don't believe,then give me pen and paper, I can write it, that she would come. " Avery said it with confidence.
" What if your plan, didn't worked ? " Her friend asked.
" We have the whole night, to accomplish our plan. And by the way, I want to set her away, from my Aiden, in anyway. " Avery said in rage and anger, which was for Shiny.
" But don't you think Avery...., that you are being so inhumane to her?" Her another friend asked.
"you are my friend, or her? If mine, then be on my side, if you can't...., then you can take her side, for ever. " Hearing Avery's threat , her friend shut her mouth. Didn't said anything further?
.....
Shiny was on the entrance, wearing the dress in which she had came to college, today's morning, holding the college bag on back.
When she entered she didn't noticed any decorations or anything for the party. She thought she has been on a wrong place. She moved her legs, towards the gate from where she had entered, to go back.
But she heard Avery's voice. " Shiny... Hey !! Where are you going? "
She looked back, and saw Avery. Avery was looking so happy to see her, as if she get everything from her arrival.
'Perhaps, Mamma was right !! She really wants to change the relationship between us.'
Avery held Shiny's hand, and took her to the hotel room. There was her other friends, in beautiful dresses. Shiny's dress was so simple in front of them.
Shiny pulled out her bag, and took a little box,wrapped in gift wrapper.
" Huhh... This is for you. Happy Birthday!! " Shiny curved her lips in a beautiful smile. Avery took it, with a smile " Thanks !!" and put it with other gifts.
Shiny had thought, that she would open her gift, in front of everyone. And will make her fun, of her small gift. But she didn't did it.
She thought, Avery has been really changing herself, for that Mafia. But how she could fall for a mafia. Really so ridiculous!!
" I have a dress for you, Shiny. Go change your dress, then we would go." Shiny didn't wanted her dress, but Avery pushed her in the changing room and shut the door.
Shiny turned towards the changing room, saw a dress, that was really so fabulous.
That was not a revealing one, Avery knows it that Shiny don't wear revealing dresses and don't like them too. So she had prepared, a beautiful bluish-white gown with net, which was showing every curve of her body, which was looking so bright and smooth, even after the net covering.
She came out, as if Cinderella has been there, from Disney World. Just like a fairy, without wings.
Shiny's eyes were lowered. She was feeling so nervous facing everyone, with her true beauty. She was nervous and was fearing too.
As she remembers, that farewell, in which, she had wore a pink gown because of which, her only friend till now, Ethan. He had lost his control over himself and had tried to rape her. But thank god, that day, she got saved by her teacher. Otherwise !!....
There was boys too in her party. But she had said that only she and her friends would be here.
Shiny was feeling it, that all boys are gazing at her. She was feeling so nervous and awkward... and bad too that she snatched everyone's attention on Avery's birthday. The day, when everyone's eyes should be at Avery.
" Avery !! Why boys are here? you had said that only your friends would be here, right. "
Shiny said in a low voice , leaning to the Avery's ear.
" So what !!, They all are my friends. " Avery replied.
' I wish I don't face that situation again. I don't want to be in that situation again. God, please give me some strength!! '
Avery cut the cake, and party started. That party was really so big. Shiny never been to such parties, so always away from this glamorous world.
Even now, every boy now and then, was glancing at her. That's why, she was not forcing even a smile on her face, because of their gaze.
Suddenly, a waiter came to her and asked her for a drink. Shiny wanted to calm down herself. So, she asked.."Are these soft drinks?" Shiny.! didn't wanted to take any risk.
" Ma'am!! this one is soft drink. " The waiter handed her a glass of orange juice and left.
Shiny felt so relieved after drinking it. Her nervousness and awkwardness, everything has vanished.
But after about ten minutes, she felt like someone is pressing her head. It was feeling so heavy to her, that much that she would fall.
She decided to go home. But she was not in a condition to walk. She thought to find Avery, if it's not Avery's game, then she would definitely help her. But what if it's been her game...
Shiny went to Avery, but before she could say anything. She fell on the ground, half fainted.
" Took me home, please... Please.... took me home... " Shiny was repeating these words.
Only then, when Avery was going to react, Shiny phone ranged. That was Isabella...
" Hello, where are you, Shiny, my dear? Have you seen the time? "
Isabella was so worried, about Shiny.
" Aunty, it's me Avery... Actually.... Shiny is in my party with me, enjoying it. I think she wouldn't have told you, that she is coming here? "
Avery took the matter in her hand.
" No.. No... my dear!!! there is nothing like that. I have told her, to join your party. There is nothing like that. "
" Aunty, Shiny won't be able come tonight. I will send her to you tomorrow morning. I promise.... " Avery better know to make accomplish any plan flawlessly.
" Okay, my dear. No problem !! you send her tomorrow." Isabella didn't wanted to disturb Shiny. As this is the first time, she is enjoying with her friends.
Shiny was on the ground fainted, but yet her consciousness hadn't drained the whole.
...
Shiny felt herself on a bed. She was aware with the smell of her own blanket and pillow, and it was not matching to it. She was in someone else's room, on someone else's bed, in that hotel.
