I’m the monster, a bloody human incapable of emotionI
soon realise that my revenge didn’t make me feel any fucking better
about myself, instead it pissed me off to realise that I’m in love with
her.Two days later the letter addressed to me arrives in
the post and the ground moves beneath my feet, because the whole truth
about India is out in the open and the pain punches me so hard that I
can’t breathe, darkness crawls through me, sparking all the insecurities
and fears about my dead brother back to ugly reality.Then
off I go with my apology, trying to fix this fucked up situation but
she doesn’t want to listen. Every time I do something the guilt is
burning my gut, pushing her further and further away from me. She
even goes an extra mile making me feel like a prick and she gets
involved with someone else just to get back at me. She pretends that the
event in the restaurant didn’t mean anything to her, like she is immune
to my actions. India’s pain is raw, deep and whenever I lay my eyes on her I remember the cruel things I’ve done.The
next couple of months I focus on getting her back. This is the only
thing that matters to me now. I must redeem myself; forget about anger,
other birds and parties. India is the only person that I
want, I love her and only her but the problem is that she hates my
guts, so I’m the last person that she wants.I must prove to India that I’m worthy of her love, Views: 9

The Wedding Party, first published in 1965 (Michael Joseph), is a collection of short stories evoking both the dark and light, and the comedy and tragedy in human nature. Bates employs a deceptive delicateness of touch in his descriptions and character sketches, here mastering the true essentials of the art of the short story; he says much by saying little, what is left out more poignant than the words on the page.With a host of larger than life characters, we meet the scheming and eccentric Aunt Leonora, who fibs her way through the comic tale 'The Picnic'. The collection also unites two loveable rogues Captain Poopdeck and Uncle Silas, and brings us the farcical tale 'Early One Morning' which provide a sharp contrast with the sombre and haunting tones of pieces like 'The Primrose Place' and 'The Winter Sound', and the lyrical but bitter episode of 'The Wedding Party' itself.
