Aneri, a girl who is not noticed, cared or admired ever. Who even in the most picturesque scene will go unnoticed. What will happen when thrown out of her world to a more unique dimension. Will she get the love, affection, care and admiration she on...
I opened the present at her request. I found a way out of the world's most expensive present. It was a very heavy necklace filled with numerous sparkling diamonds and many magical blue sapphires. I have to admit it was even more beautiful than Daddy's gift of 'Lily of the Valley'. I really want to say thank you, but I am speechless and dumbfounded right now.

(Her gift given by Yenna)
Just like me, everybody was stunned by the enormity of the gift. My fathers' were even unable to speak a word. These experienced veterans of high society were not uttering any words.
"I see you loved it," Yenna smiled.
"Madam Merchant, I am really moved by your sentiments towards my child. She is blessed by so much, but we cannot let her accept such a grand gift as an heirloom of the Merchant household. " Papa said, handing over the gift to Yenna.
Like WHAT?!
Whispers erupted from all corners.
"Did you notice that Yenna gave the child the Merchant's heirloom, 'The Divine Ruler'?"
"Oh my God! I must be really lucky to see Mr. Francios Klod's work here! He was known as "God's Jeweller."
"How did Madam Yenna manage to give her that invaluable beauty? It was a 200-year-old Merchant family's legacy. "
"This cost 20 million rupees 200 years ago. It will be worth trillions in rupees now. "
While these whispers adorned the atmosphere of the party. I looked at it spellbound.
"It doesn't matter. As you know, I don't have any daughters to pass it on to. When I saw her, I just thought how wonderful it would be if she wore it. It really suits her eyes. I really will not take no for an answer." Yenna answered.
"Madam Yenna, I am overwhelmed by such a thoughtful gift and sentiment toward my daughter. But she is still quite young to appreciate this. Your presence is a gift to her; there is no need for such a hefty gift for her. " Papa said, trying to get the situation under control.
"Lady Yenna, you are evergreen. You should save it for your future daughter. Your sentiments are enough grace for us. " Daddy backs Papa up.
"Oh, come on, Klien! I really want to give her this as a token of love. Besides, I think nobody can do more justice to this piece of jewellery than she. And this is her gift, so don't you dare interfere with it. " Yenna said.
Then Daddy closed the distance between them and, with his lowest voice, he said, "Yenna, I think you know that your 'affectionous move' will result in misinterpretation. That will cause false rumours to arise. I suggest you keep your heirloom and I keep my family's sanctity intact. Hmm...my love? "
"Oh my! I really didn't think about it." With an exaggerated sarcastic eyeroll, Yenna continued in her sly low voice, "What is there to fear about rumours? You know rumours can be fun."
"My snobbish step-cousin, I swear to God I feel so restricted now, I know what you are skimming, but I cannot mace your eyes with the very necklace of yours. But, don't worry, I will one day come for you and then I will use my jeweller's saw and shove-"
"Thanks for accepting the gift. I must say Yenna gave this to a worthy girl. And please stop thanking me. You are wasting so much time on it. Let us enjoy" Mr. President declared to the world, dismissing my father's scary monolog.
I see our president is a smartypants.
"Oh, kids, please accompany the birthday girl to the children's area. Otherwise, Uncle Arnold and Klien will not let her enjoy the party. " Yenna then pushed the army of minions on me.
I was so absorbed in adult drama that I totally missed the squard of lads, dressed in their expensive suits that didn't outshine their looks. I am by no means a pedophile, but I know when they grow up they are going to be a snack. All the three boys have different looks and styles but are refined in their own way. The one who just snatched my hand has a majestic aura. His honey blond hair is flowing like a lion's mane, his hazel eyes are like a labyrinth; once you enter them, you are lost. In his creamy voice, he started saying something, but I was so absorbed by his halo light that I could not concentrate on it. "What are you saying?" I absent-mindedly said it.
" I am Helios Merchant, son of President Jeremy Merchant and Yenna Merchant. I am 8 years old and he is Zyglavis Triumph..."
"Yeh! Yes,Yep! I am Zyglavis Triumph,son of the Prime Minister, Truth Triumph and Yenna Merchant. I am 7 years old. Well, I am happy you are fine and happy birthday." A cute boy with silky-mildly curled black hair with an innocent pair of black pearl eyes, a sweet face cut with plum-rosey lips and dimples, and a cherry-on-top, his shy personality. I really want to tease him.
But my eyes met another boy standing behind them. Though he was standing in their shadow, his mysterious personality attracted you to him. He is taller than both of them and has hallucinating brown eyes paired with a formal but killing smile. His honey-toned skin makes him glow like gold.
"Will you not introduce yourself?" I asked the mysterious creature.
"My name is Dev-"
"You don't need to know him. Well, you look beautiful, really. Do you love to play videogames? I have the latest keyscrib3, you can play anything on it. So which game do you want to play? " interupted Helios. "Any games you want to play?" "Well, Dev, you were introducing yourself."I said this while looking at Dev, waiting for him to continue. "You don't need to know him." With a quick response, Zyglavis cut the chance that Dev was about to take.
"Why are you talking like that?" I asked.
