Sweet Memoir

the necklace

Justine's POV

"Honey! Look at this design? What you think?" I asked my 5 year boyfriend. "Oh well, its your favorite, dolphin" he said.
Im gonna buy it!" Miss can i have this necklace please? The sales lady then opened the glass box and handed the gold necklace with dolphin pendant to my boyfriend, and my boyfriend slowly placed it in my neck from the back.
I look happily examining myself in the mirror while touching its pendant, its a euphoric feeling. I couldnt be more happier to have it in my neck.

"It really look good on you, maam" the sales lady said.
"How much is it?" My boyfriend asked the lady, i interrupted,
"no, dont ever think of that! This is mine so let me pay it okay? I got this okay?i said sweetly to him and he nods like he understand it.
I paid for it and then we already walked our way out of that jewelry shop.

Seven years later

The wind is so soft today, the breeze is so cool, the voices of the children are so charming to hear from the seashore, and yes we are at the beach, me and my friends having time of our life.
We are at the cottage, the foods were fully prepared except from water melon and pineapple that i and elleca were slicing.
" justin? Why wont you give another try it with Polo? Elleca asked, " and here we are again? I said,
" Im done with him, theres nothing  i can do, i fall out of love"

" thats too sad because you were in a long time relationship with him, i thought you will have forever with him, elleca said"

"Well thats life, idont know but i never felt it, it never even crossed my mind, i said.

Elleca looked into me furiously and even stop slicing pineapple, " you never loved him?"she asked

I stopped slicing too and take a deep breath" i did love him my feelings were true, but somethings odd and i dont know what is it" then i continued slicing until i finished it.

Elleca sighed, " i hope you find someone else that will love you more than how Polo loved you"

I just smiled. Okay lets call everybody! Everythings prepared now. Lets call them its about for lunch!

  " i will call them, just stay here, i need to get my daughter too, she really must have enjoyed the sea" elleca said.

Okay mother elleca!

Everybody were at the cottage, Elleca and her daughter, Donna and Harry and with their 2 sons, Jox and her husband mayell, Jomar and his Son, the single ladies, lara, margen, and jebbee.
Everybody were so happy that day, its a reunion of after seven years in college.
Some of us have their own family and happily married. I wish it will stay like this forever, i wish id be with them anytime like this.

We stayed for two days in the issla jardin, an island in Glan Sarangani, Philippines.

On the last day, i was standing in the seashore, looking straight to its end, makes me feel like theres sombody in the opposite end watching me too and from afar, but its a different feeling, it feels lonely. He seemed not happy with his life now. I dont know why im feeling this way but it feels all so true and do exist.

Jebee shouted from a distant, "hey Justin! Come over now we gonna go home now"
Okay im coming"

So i walked forward then looked back again, in my mind " who are you? And where do i find you?" Those questions in my head.

We had a long drive. It took 4 hours for me to be home. I was the last one dropped by the driver.
My body aches from swimming but its all worth it.
