Only a minute was left for my birthday. I dreamt of opening enormous gifts wrapped in pink and red sheets with a beautiful golden ribbon on top. A picture of a huge chocolate cake surrounded by Choco balls appeared in my mind. I was just thinking of the next morning ,when a bright blue light flashed and I was standing on a grassy playground ,I again saw the blue light ,but this time it surrounded a person sitting on the branch of a tree. I was nervous , I wanted to go back home. I couldn't even ask anyone for help. I nervously began walking ,crashing the grass under my feet .As I got nearer and nearer to the tree ,the blue light seemed to fade away and the picture of the person was clear now . A fair girl , wearing a bluish white dress with long silky blonde hair and golden gladiator type sandals . As soon as I went near the tree ,it so naturally happened that she looked back . The blue flash again appeared and I was lying on my bed .
I sat on my bed thinking very hard ,when I saw an enormous gift placed at very end of my bed .I was puzzled , I was not sure if I should open it or not. Well, I took the courage and opened it ,when I did cut the ribbon the gift box burst out and golden sparkles covered my whole room. And then I could see golden letters floating in the air "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, I'll come on Friday night to meet you".
"Happy birthday,princess." Said Dad
" You know ,my friends want to meet you,Because they never saw you ,you always get away whenever they come .But this time ,HA! high time . So ...... DON'T RUN AWAY AGAIN ,COZ WHEN YOU DO SO ,I ALWAYS PAY THE PRICE !" Snapped Ryan
" But ,why do your friends want to meet your sister and not you?"questioned mum.
" Because , I meet their siblings often enough to be called as their own brother ,but they never get to meet Una .They are quiet interested in meeting her .Even I asked them what's that they are this interested ! But they never really explain .Do they!! So Una ,stay at home today ,will you?"
I was numb . Didn't know what to say .But looking at Ryan's face I was sure enough that he was serious about this .I didn't want to meet his friends or even anyone ,Just wanted to stay alone without any company .But I was bound to meet them this time because I've always made excuses on this topic .
"Will you stay ?"
I nodded
With a happy face Ryan dashed towards his room .Mom too looked happy as it was the first time, I say ,I agreed on inviting people on my birthday .I sat with Dad for the rest of the hours scribbling paper on the table .Dad was busy with his office stuff and didn't look much into what I was doing .
" Una, I think Ryan's friends will be arriving anytime now .Get ready .You too, Rupert just clean all these stuffs ,take them down now .GET READY !".
I was opening my wardrobe when Ryan ran into my room ,half panting ,he said ," Take this dress ,Wear it okay ,don't you ever try to wear those baggy pants of yours "
He went .I looked at the dress that he gave ,it was a pinkish white dress .When I looked at the dress I suddenly remembered about the dream I had last night .The dress was exactly the same but it had a different colour .
"Una ,Are you ready ?"
***
When I wore the dress , a golden pair of gladiator sandals appeared in front of me ,I was surprised !
And to my amazement ,when I looked into the mirror ,I saw my hair perfectly straight with a half pony tied with a pink bow .I couldn't believe what was happening .I never really saw myself that pretty anyday .But ,today it was sort of magic that happened .
"Una ,C'MON !" Yelled Ryan
I wore the sandals .And went to meet Ryan's friends .I opened the door to the living room .I heard them talking ,laughing and I was suddenly nervous as though something really bad would happen if I walked into the room .That pretty laughter would die .People would be sad .But then A voice spoke inside me "it's your mere thought ......they've come here to meet you ...Go on greet them"
I felt a rush of confidence and opened the door
