"Hey the blush is lovely, sharon...where did you get it from?" simmi asked. "Well umm...uh...its..umm..a gift from rey" she stammered. "And the guy you were dancing with...swayam right?" simmi asked. "yes, rey's friend" she said blushing at the mention of his name. "Good lord...i wish i were in your place sharon...do you know he is the most sought out prince? I mean who wouldn't want his attention? He is handome, charming wise and courteous. And he hasn't looked at a girl in the eye, you know?" Simmi said. "Because he has a belle right?" sharon asked her heart drooped as she said that. "No, he believes in love at first sight and he apparently hasn't found his soulmate" Simmi explained. They'd reached the rest of them by then and as the girls began to chatter and gossip, sharon tuned out to a conflict which started just a few moments back. Her gaze fixed on Swayam, she tried to resolve her conflict.
Meanwhile Swayam was in no better a state. He still felt her presence in his arms. "So did you find my sister interesting?" rey asked. "Umm no, why would I, although I'm glad she has forgiven me, I wouldn't be interested in her" he said, his heart asking him to tell the exact opposite. "And sharon..did she speak to you?" rey asked. "no we didn't speak at all" Swayam replied, thinkingagain of sharon and what he had felt in those few moments. "Because you were lost" rey said. "Yes, in her" swayam said absent mindedly. "You just said you weren't interested" rey contradicted smiling happily. "No! No! I mean I was lost in thoughts" swayam replied quickly. By then their friends had come and had started talking so reyam changed the topic. While the guys chatted about travels and checked out the girls, Swayam had eyes only for one. Sharon.
"Swayam is charming actually." Simmi said. "But nilesh is my beau so I'm taken" she finished. "What do you think about swayam, sharon?" rinni asked. "Huh, what? Pardon me please, I wasn't listening" Sharon said. "What do you think of Swayam?" neha repeated. "well actually, I just met him and from what everyone says, he seems to nice, but well my first impression was he judges people by their looks, so not my type" sharon said, her tone a bit stern and lofty so as disguise her conflict.
Chapter 2 The royal ball
Swayam waited for rey below the stairs. The king had thrown a ball in the light of his son's return and many royals had been called for the occasion. Their friends were invited too of course along with Sharon's mates. Everyone was present at the ball all except one, sharon. The crier announced the names of the people as they entered, and the people would fall silent. Rey had come, Taani was present too, and obviously he was with her. Swayam stood aside talking to the king and the queen, whilst watching his friends dance with their belles. Now, Swayam was a guy, who wasn't really interested in girls, though many swooned over him. He wished and prayed to fall in love once, he believed in that love which lasted forever, eternal love. So when the king asked him, "Don't you have any partner my son?" he courteously replied, "None that I would like as my life partner". Just as he said that the crier announced, "Princess Sharon has arrived" and Sharon alighted down the stairs, in gown made of white satin and blue silk. The dress was made to look beautiful because of her presence. She smiled a radiant smile which took the breath away from many present there. She spotted her parents and her friends and waved to them. She seemed delicate, she seemed majestic. She spotted Swayam too, astounded by her, she smirked to herself and raised her eyebrow as she looked at him. As rey chuckled at his friend's plight, sharon reached them. The party continued around. "What happened, you seem surprised not astounded by my sister's presence...usually lads are astounded by her beauty" Rey mocked swayam. "But...but..." Swayam tried to find words. "But what prince?" sharon asked. "The maid...you...Good lord..murder me" swayam said. "I will be happy to, but alas it would make my love sad" rey chuckled thoroughly enjoying teasing the poor helpless swayam. "Well I am a princess, and this" sharon said gesturing with her hands, "is indeed my home, I presume, and hence I have full rights to walk around my house, as and how I'd like to" she said a bit sarcastic yet in a light tone. Swayam looked embarrassed. "Let me make it up to you princess, can I have the honour of dancing with you princess?" Swayam bowed, giving a hand like a gentleman. Sharon looked at Rey who nodded and said "Don't look at me, but I'm sure you won't regret it". She looked at Swayam and giving him a radiant smile took his hand and bowed. Swayam smiled sheepishly back at her and they went towards the dance floor hand in hand.

Swayam smiled sheepishly back at her and they went towards the dance floor hand in hand.
It was a new feeling, that aroused in both of them. As swayam held her close and the waltzed, his heart beat rapidly, while her cheeks insisted on staying crimson. It was new, beautiful feeling felt by both, as they locked eyes. It seemed to them like they knew each other previously. The music was forgotten as they danced, they danced to a music of their own. The ball and everything else had vanished leaving only the two souls behind.
People watching them sighed and commented on what a beautiful couple they made. Rey himself thought about it and then decided to pair them. The king and the queen were hoping that their daughter had finally met her prince charming and it was vice versa on the other side too. Little did they know about the evil eye cast upon the princess by the witch and about her evil intentions.
music ended and the partners had to seperate.sharon's cheeks were still crimson. "Sharooon" simmi squealed hurrying towards her and pulling her into an embrace. "Simmiii" sharon greeted her. Swayam looked on wistgully hoping to have another dance with her. Sharon though aware of swayam's presence ignored him and went to see her friends. swayam turned back and went to rey, who was planning and smiling at swayam.
"Hey the blush is lovely, sharon...where did you get it from?" simmi asked. "Well umm...uh...its..umm..a gift from rey" she stammered. "And the guy you were dancing with...swayam right?" simmi asked. "yes, rey's friend" she said blushing at the mention of his name. "Good lord...i wish i were in your place sharon...do you know he is the most sought out prince?

They'd reached the rest of them by then and as the girls began to chatter and gossip, sharon tuned out to a conflict which started just a few moments back. Her gaze fixed on Swayam, she tried to resolve her conflict.

Pardon me please, I wasn't listening" Sharon said. "What do you think of Swayam?" neha repeated. "well actually, I just met him and from what everyone says, he seems to nice, but well my first impression was he judges people by their looks, so not my type" sharon said, her tone a bit stern and lofty so as disguise her conflict.
"Sharon, I feel is beautiful, but pretty sarcastic. I haven't acquainted much but from what I hear, she doesn't seem my type" Swayam said. "but then why does my heart feel satisfied? Happy and full?" he wondered just like Sharon as their eyes met across the room. Unknown to both their confused expressions turned into dreamy smiles. Rey silently took note of this and made plans to bring them closer as he knew there wasn't a better suitor for his sister in this world than Swayam.
