Chapter 15: GIFT

Kanina pa ko libot ng libot sa mall wala pa din akong maisip na ibigay kay Lucas. I stopped by sa isang jewelry store. Naghahanap ako ng pwedeng jewelry for guys pero di naman ata nagsusuot ng ganun si Lucas. Something caught my attention. A minimalist necklace. Sobrang ganda!

I told the lady I'll come back to buy it. I'm not sure pa kasi baka mashort ako sa dala kong cash. I left my card sa bahay eh.

Isang oras pa kong umikot. I tried looking at sa mga damit kaya lang di ko alam size niya at lalong di ko alam style niya. Baka sabihan pa kong ang pangit ng taste ko.

I wanted to give him something that will remind him to smile. Something na kahit down siya when he look at it, he'll realise that everything's gonna be fine.

Wow! Hahaha ngayon lang ako nastress ng ganito dahil lang sa regalo. Bakit ko ba pinapahirapan sarili ko para mapangiti si Lucas? Grabeng effort ko na to.

Surrendering, bumalik na lang ako sa jewelry store kanina.

When the sales lady saw me nakangiti siya.

"Hi ma'am you're back"
Grabeng ngiti niya naman ata.
"Hello again. Can I ask something na pwedeng iregalo for a guy? Something that will make him smile."
"Naku ma'am sure ako kahit anong gift ibigay mo sa kanya mapapangiti mo siya."

Nagtataka na talaga ko but I shrugged it off.

"We do have lucky charms ma'am. If you want we have wish bracelet po. This one's unisex."
Iniabot niya sakin ang isang box that contains two bracelets. It's made of simple handmade wish bracelet but its simplicity makes it more beautiful.
"Before you tie it you can make a wish whatever you wanted."

I love the idea of this bracelet. It looks really simple but its meaningful.

"Which of these means happiness?"I asked her.
"This is a pink tumaline. Its a stone po that relates to happiness. This is believed to associate with love, compassion, emotional calming and self-love."

I smiled. It has a deep meaning.

"I'll take this. And the necklace that I tried earlier."
"Ai sorry po ma'am nabili na po eh."
"Ha? Sabi ko babalikan ko eh."
"I'm sure he'll give it to you naman po. I'll give you two of these wish bracelet. Para pareho po kayong meron. Don't forget to make a wish before you tie it."

Huh? Pinagsasabi kaya neto? Sayang naman yung necklace.
I asked her to wrap it na din para di na ko magbalot later.

I'm finally at ease. Nakabili na din ako sa wakas.
Nagkita-kita sa isang restaurant to have late lunch before we go home to prepare for later.
