He's making my day more beautiful. When I was praying to God asking not to end this day, he pinged me. How addicted his messages has become that my fingers always play soon to open his messages.
"Last but not least. Your last surprise for the day. I promise that you won't be disappointed. "
He had already given me enough surprises for a person could take in. What would be the next one! He's full of surprises and I am sure I can't guess because it's like finding the stone thrown into the ocean. I took out the ring holding the paper and rolled out to read the clue.
Chit has only one line or more like few words clue.
"Fern-like stellar Dendrites"
I wanna laugh like a mad person now. Either he's going crazy or he's escaped from the asylum before the treatment is completed. I do not work in R&D in some science laboratory.
Clue is supposed to be given to find the answers instead he's leaving no clue! It's almost ten past seven in evening. One long day in market!
I have been doing a lot of things from morning, all things which he's saying. He's here following me but when I try to figure, all I get is a message from him asking me not to search for him. How's he managing to do all these? He has answers for all my questions like Google does. OMG! GOOGLE.... why didn't I think of it before!?
I fast opened the browser and typed in the clue and hit search. It displayed all news about it. For God knows how many minutes I was starring at the mobile.
"He's talking about snowflakes"
I think I should probably call 911 because I immediately got to know what the treasure was. One of the most precious treasure of my entire life. The lost treasure. Is he a pirate?!
My breathing was so uneven and I felt heavy in heart. I should start looking but my legs were glued. If I am not wrong then he's gonna give heartattack.
Sometimes God hears our prayers immediately. Mike came back from the store and he's shocked to see me in bad state. He asked me if everything's okay. I just told him that will explain later and asked him to help me find the gift. He has no idea what I am saying still he kept quiet.
We searched for sometime and I finally got the glimpse of a box gift wrapped that has snowflakes images all over. I was shivering to open it. Mike took and unwrapped it. He looked at me and I nodded to open it. He opened and for a sec he was analysing it. My heart beat was so loud that anyone near me can hear it. I stepped closer to him, holding his hand for support I took the box in my hand. My eyes were closed and I could already feel the tears forming. Slowly opened my eyes to take a look at what was inside.
It is there. It really is there. How is it possible? I missed it when I was playing in the ocean. This can't be happening. My knees became weak and I couldn't stand there anymore. Mike caught me falling and he's so not in state to think of what he should do next. He was holding me in one hand and trying to make a call to whom I guess was Evan or Indy.
While he was busy in talking over phone, I took a deep breathe and after so much struggle, lifted the locket from the box.
It's an oval shaped locket with snowflake's design inscribed on the front side with a blue solitaire diamonds at the centre and white ones at each end of the snowflake. Letter S was inscribed behind. Upon pressing the button at the side, locket opens to reveal the photograph inside. It's old but can see it clearly. Mike is shouting at me but his voice was heard at distance. It is then I understand that am fainting.
With the last drop of energy left before losing conscious , I barely completed saying, "it's.... It's the Heart of Snow".
