Ana was constantly bullied in high school because she was quiet and simple. Now, their batch was holding a Grand Reunion at an open-garden resort.
The organizer, Clara—the most pretentious girl in their class—sent Ana an invitation. It read: “Please come so we can say goodbye properly before we all become successful.”
Ana arrived at the venue. Everyone was shocked to see that she was wearing a maid’s uniform (a white t-shirt and a black skirt with an apron). She was even carrying a coconut-stick broom.
Clara and her friends burst into laughter.
“Oh my God! Ana?” Clara shrieked. “Is that for real? You’re a maid now? I thought you were smart. What happened?”
“Such a waste of your beauty, Ana. So you’re just a cleaner now,” another classmate added. “Well, you can still come in. We’re short on waiters anyway. Clean up our mess while you’re at it, okay?”
Ana didn’t respond. She simply gave a faint smile. “I just stopped by to say goodbye. I’m leaving.”
“Leaving? Where? To the next house to do laundry?” Clara mocked. “Go ahead. You don’t belong at our success party.”
Ana was about to turn away when suddenly the sky darkened. A powerful wind blew across the venue. Tablecloths and napkins flew into the air. The guests covered their eyes from the dust.
THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD!
A large white Royal Helicopter with a golden insignia descended into the middle of the garden!
Everyone’s eyes widened. “What’s happening?! Is there a celebrity here?! Or a politician?!”
The helicopter door opened. Four Royal Guards in military uniforms, carrying swords, stepped out. They rolled out a red carpet from the helicopter straight toward… Ana.
Then an elderly man in a suit stepped down. He was the Royal Adviser.
The Adviser and the Guards approached Ana. In front of the stunned Clara and their classmates, they all knelt simultaneously before her.
“Your Royal Highness, Princess Anastasia,” said the Adviser. “Your transport back to the Palace of Genovia is ready. The King is waiting for you for your coronation.”
Clara’s jaw dropped. The wine glass in her hand slipped and shattered on the ground. CRASH!
“P-Princess?!” Clara stammered. “Ana?! A princess?!”
Ana removed her apron and handed it to Clara.
“Oh, this?” Ana said as she fixed her hair. “I just came from a charity mission at an orphanage earlier. I helped clean and cook for the children. I didn’t have time to change because I rushed here to see all of you.”
She looked at Clara, who had turned pale.
“You said this was a success party? Well, I define success differently, Clara. True success is helping others—not looking down on people.”
Ana boarded the helicopter. Before the door closed, she waved.
“Goodbye, classmates. I won’t be able to attend the next reunion. I’ll be busy running my country.”
The helicopter flew away, leaving her classmates speechless, humiliated, and filled with regret for belittling a true princess.
THE END.
