UNHAPPY BIRTHDAY [COMPLETED]

Chapter 2

It was just her five-year old cousin Rikka playing hide and seek with her friends. Pristine told them to be careful because there's a lot of delicate glasses and dishes served. Her cousin nodded and beam then goes to her mother.

The velvet of the cloudless sky goes darker and the star become  more luminous and  it’s almost an hour since Pristine waited. Her eyes were still searching for Klyde and looking every second on the clock, she almost losses her hope to dance the man she love the most on her precious day but a few moments later, Galvin Parker, one of her friends, come and greeted her. Galvin is Klyde’s best friend so she is expecting that they will come together but sadly, there was no trace of Kylde.

“Where is Klyde?” she hopefully asked fixing her gaze on Galvin.

“Actually, we’re not in good terms.” he fumed languidly and birse clouded his feature.

The color drain out of her face and her mouth fell open. She felt a tint of sadness in Galvin’s voice as he uttered those words.

”Why? I mean, what happen? You two are best friends, no you two are more like brothers,” Pristine blurted out.

“We planned a party and marked that day promising that both of us will come no matter what .It was all set but he didn’t come giving some stupid reason which I can’t really fathom,” he said in his deep baritone and you can witness a slight tension arising from his aura.

"Don't let your friendship shattered because of something like that. Just please understand him." She beseeched, her bottom lip jutting out and her head down.

"Chin up Pristine it's your day. It's our problem don't let yourself involved. Besides, I'm not like you, you're deeply in love with him and you can't even hate him a little. For ten years you never get mad on him." he responded gruffly.

"Because I have no reasons to get mad at him. I trust on you two I hope you could fix it." she replied sincerely making her eyes sparkle and gave an amiable smile.

Galvin beam and headed to where Kiah is and sat besides her while Pristine doesn't even feel knackered standing in her place.
    

Dinner is ready to serve, guests stopped dancing and sat on their respective places. Musician played sweet song while butlers and waiters hovered over tables, silent and efficient making sure the Limoges dishes and delicate glass were kept filled. A delicious tantalizing scent of steak scattered all over the place making everyone droll and not to mention the sweet aroma of premium wine. Golden opulence sundae caught the eye of everyone. It's an opulent dessert, decadent Tahitian vanilla ice cream infused with Madagascan vanilla beans and chuncks of rare Chuao chocolate from Venezuela. Drizzled with one of the world's expensive chocolates from Amedei Porcelana and decorated with gold covered almonds, chocolate truffles, marzipian cherries and covered with 23 carat edible gold leaf. Who could say no to that sweet dessert, right? Also it is served in Baccarat crystal goblet.

The place was filled by the toast of glasses and steady babble of talk and laughter.Everyone is enjoying their meal while Pristine is tired and at the same losing hope while waiting for Klyde to come.
      

Is he still going to come here? She wondered looking at everyone enjoying.

It's almost two hours while looking at the clock her vision become hazy as her tears  almost fell. She sigh and decided to walked straight to her friend with her eyes dropping and pouting her lips.

“why you look so sad?” Kiah asked looking seriously at Pristine.

“Do you think Klyde will come here?” she asked shyly avoiding eye contact with Kiah while pressing her lips.

“of course he will” Kiah reassure also giving her a pure smile.

Pristine smiles back and stuff her mouth with scrumptious dessert.

“You surely believes in him huh? He can even live without lying. Geez Pristine grow up don't let your love rule over you” Galvin said in sternly way while furrowing his brow and stare fixedly at Pristine,

Kiah elbows Galvin signing him to shut his mouth and instantly turn her face to Pristine who sigh and says,” I believe in him”.

Kiah chortle and says “That’s my Pristine” while patting her back.

They all laugh.

As Pristine about to dig in a fork full steak  she froze up when she heared a familiar footsteps coming exactly to their directions. Her hands who held the fork shaking. There's something who forced her not to move. She feel electrified. Her legs were trembling. Her eyes round and her mouth fell open.
