Mysterious object

N said nothing for a few seconds. She didn't even know what to say or do. While trying to find a way out, it occurred to her that C and M had been waiting for her for about twenty minutes.

So she turned to the door again and took a step or two. But that didn't stop her from thinking about what she had just heard.

She stopped again. She turned around and looked at H. H was still standing in the same place, looking at her. N forgot everything about getting out and approached H. She thought for a while. But nothing came to her mind except one question.

"Can you give it to me?" She said, trying to keep her wet eyes away from H.

H smiled a little. He seemed happy about N's back.

"Yes, of course. I think it belongs to you" said H friendly when he saw that N was sad.

"When can you do that? You're probably busy now, I..."

"What about tomorrow?" asked H, and added, "I can bring it with me tomorrow, as usual."

"Ok, very nice" N rejoiced, "I can come here again tomorrow."

"Good" said H.

"Thank you," said N sincerely.

"You'd better go now," he said, gesturing to the cinema.

"Yeah, you are right." N smiled "Ok, bye H."

"Bye N, I'm glad to see you again," said H with a smile.

As N left and walked towards the door, she remembered something.

"H," she stopped and said, "Don't forget to bring also the paper with you tomorrow."

H agreed with his head. Finally, N was able to open the door. She wasn't happy to see H, but she didn't regret it now.

The day she met H, N had different feelings. The necklace that H had mentioned to her made her think about it all day. She didn't even get upset when C and M watched the movie without waiting for her. Her mind was only on that necklace that H had a hard time explaining.

She was looking forward to getting it soon. The biggest reason why was her best friend A.

The next day she went to the cafe where H worked, took the savings from him and started to look carefully.

"What do you say? Is it yours, or?" asked H to N, who was sitting around the table away from everyone.

"It's not mine," said N, and added, "It doesn't look like a necklace H. It looks more like a bracelet."

"A bracelet? But doesn't it look too big?" said H in surprise.

"Do you think this can fit me?" said N, raising its size to show H better.

"But it has a very strange shape, doesn't it?" said H without taking his eyes off it.

N raised her eyebrows and looked at the black walnut-sized bracelet she was holding. The medallion was heptagonal in shape. The back side of it was completely straight, and the front side had been made like five steps platform.

H was right. It was really strange in appearance. N had never seen such a thing in her life.

"It really is," said N.

"What do you think? Do you think A got it for you?" asked H seriously.

Before N could answer the question, she saw the waiter approaching them. N understood what he meant. He came because he wanted H to be interested in customers.

"I'll be right back," said H, realizing that he forgot his job.

"What about paper?" N suddenly remembered and asked.
