Hate You as much as I Love You

In a garden, a well-dressed and handsome boy was standing in a corner, hiding one of his hands behind his back.

There was a birthday celebration in the middle. His eyes were fixed on a cute girl dressed in a blue princess dress, surrounded by a few kids of her age.

They were chatting and laughing.

The boy didn't approach them as he didn't know anyone except for that little girl.

He was silently watching her with a smiling face and affection reflecting in his eyes.

Suddenly, another little girl, dressed in a pink princess dress, appeared from nowhere and approached the boy.

"Hi, what are you doing here alone?" the girl asked.

She had been watching the boy for some time before she approached him.

The boy felt uncomfortable being seen in such an awkward moment.

The girl peeked behind his back and noticed the gift he was holding.

"OMG. You brought a gift for me!" The girl almost jumped in excitement.

"Thank you." she tried to take the gift from the boy's hand, but he didn't release it and tried to push the girl away.

"Hey, its for her. Today is her birthday." he said rudely, pointing at the first girl in blue in the distance.

The girl stopped immediately, her eyes filled with tears.

"Today is my birthday too." the girl said with a pout.

"Oh..I didn't know that.. I am sorry.. Happy birthday." the boy felt awkward.

The girl didn't budge.

"I will bring your gift next time." he said, seeing the girl looking sad. He tried to consol her.

The girl smiled and said "really? "

"yes, I promise."

"You are her sister, right?"

"Yes , she is my step-sister."

"Oh," the boy cleared his throat.

"Can you give this gift to her on my behalf?" he asked.

The girl stared at him for a moment.

"Sure, but on one condition." she replied.

"What's that?" The boy asked suspiciously.

"You have to play with me. It's a compensation for not bringing any gift for me."

The boy was surprised at her condition.

"Okay, but you make sure to give this to her." the boy agreed after giving it some thought.

"you can trust me." she shoved the gift in her little bag she was holding.

After some time, the first girl, who was wearing blue, finally spotted the boy. She waved her hands before running over to him.

"Hi, what are you doing here? Let's go play." the girl held the boy's hand.

"He is playing with me, he won't go there." the other girl in the pink dress declared.

"Why not?"

"Because he has promised me."

The first girl became angry at this.

All this while, the boy felt very helpless and awkward as the two sisters were fighting over him.

As much as he wanted to play with the first girl, but he couldn't as he promised the other girl.

So he reluctantly played with her throughout the whole party.
