Me and Marta arrived yesterday from Turkey.
She's at the store and I'm on my way to talk to Jules.
As I make my way there I recall the conversation I had with my mother a few weeks ago
"What changes when you want to marry a person?" I asked my mother
"What do you mean?"
"Like, how do I know that I'm at that stage?!"
"Oh! It may be different for everyone but I would say, that when something bad or good happens in your life the first person you want to call is them. Or when you go out from work and you can't wait to come back to them!"
I look into my mother's eyes and smile
"I can't wait to come back home to her, mom!" I say with tears in my eyes
"Oh, I know! And I'm so happy for you!"
I hug her "I need to buy a ring!"
I also called Marta's parents and sister, and they gave me their blessing.
I knock at the apartment door and Jules answers
"Hi, there!" she greets me
"Hi, Juls!"
We moved to the living room and sat down
"So I have been thinking lately and I want to propose to Marta. But I want it to be perfect. Nothing too extravagant. And I also need your help with the ring. I have some ideas, but I want you to look at them!" I say all in one go
"You what?!" she says
I look at her and she starts crying
"Fuck Harry! You could have prepared me for this conversation! I want to know everything!"
And that's exactly what I do.
I tell her everything.
I'm leaving the apartment, and calling the person I promised I would call when the time arrived.
James
"Hi, man!" He says on the other side of the phone
"Hey! I need a favor!"
"Shoot me!"
"I need to buy an engagement ring!" I say with a smile on my face
"When and where!"
"Today!"
We say our goodbyes and I make my way to the shop.
At the store
"So what do you have in mind" James asks as we make our way around the shop
"Marta is a very simple woman. She's not a woman with a ginormous rock on her finger. Something delicate!" I say
We reached the employee and asked for the option
We showed some rings but none, are what I wanted.
Until he brings the last one and immediately
"This one! I want this one!" I say
