few more days to come and I'll celebrate Christmas without my dad How can I enjoy Christmas if we're not complete and yet in New Year.
I'm in the mall with Demin, because we're gonna buy presents for our parents for Christmas.
"Love, Is there any problem?" he asked worried, He noticed how I did not talk too much, I think. I smiled at him, showing that there is nothing wrong to worry about.
"I'm fine, I was just thinking what should the best present for my mom" I lied as we entered a store.
"love, can you wait for me here? I need to go to cr" He said, I nod.
While waiting for Demin's a jewelry shop got my attention, I walk to it, I know the car is a bit far from here, So I decided to see the store.
"Good morning ma'am" The saleslady greeted
"Good morning"I greeted her back
"What do you want ma'am, do you want to give it to someone, or for yourself?" She asked
"A gift...for my boyfriend"
"Ahh, what do you want ma'am necklace, bracelet or a ring ma'am" Her smiled can't fade
"Necklace?" I answered, unsure.
"This way ma'am" Her hand point the way as she leads where the necklace was, But I did not see that can make my attention get. they all look similar.
"Is there something like, what do we called that" I can't say what I'm pointing and look again at the sales lady"Oh, A necklace not like those you show me earlier, I mean a different necklace" I said?
"Of ma'am we have it, wait here ma'am," She said, I not at her, he walked to the booth of a necklace and pick small boxes.
"Here ma'am, you can choose here, but if you want ma'am you can have a couple of necklace for your boyfriend," She said
He put three boxes of necklaces and open them all, yeah it's all a couple of necklaces.
I looked at those necklaces the first was a sun and moon, a gold necklace, It's lovely but I don't like it, I feel like I need more elegance with I will be giving to Demin, the next one is an arrow and a heart, and I don't like it, it's showing too in love with each other, then last is the padlock. And I didn't like it.
"Ma'am there's one couple necklace it's just one stock, If ever you didn't like these three," She said.
"Can I see?" I smiled at her, He looks behind and he gets some box, a red box, she opened it in my front and a silver necklace and the pendant was a simple ring, I look at it, It swirl slowly, and I see small lettering, the words make me smile 'I miss you' and 'I love you
"Do you like it, ma'am?"I looked at the sales lady when she asked, I nod.
"Ahh yes, I'll buy it, how much?"I asked
"It's 799 ma'am," She said,
I paid for it, and I go out of the store holding a paper bag where the necklace was, And I saw Demin talking to a girl, He noticed me and smiled at me, then saying goodbye to the girl.
"Who's that?" Pointing my lips to he was talking a while ago.
"Ah, my cousin, I saw her, while searching you, where have you been?" He asked
I thought it was a girl of him, I put the paper bag on my back.
"I just buy something, let's eat?" I said he hold my hand as we walk together, we eat at a simple restaurant.
"Why did you buy too many gifts ?" Hw broke the silence.
"Oh, we're going to my grandparents," I said
"Where's your dad, Is he not going with you?" I was stunned, I smiled at him awkwardly.
"He's with us" I lied.
"Ahh I see, by the way, I will pick you up before the day of Christmas, I want you to meet my parents," He said which make me gasped! "hey, what's wrong are you okay?" he asked and assist me to drink.
"Are you sure?" I asked agitated.
he giggles.
"Yes, what's wrong with that?" he said into laughing. "Your parents know me, and my parents did not know you," He said, what should I do!
"Okay," I retort, I know I don't have a choice!
"Why? are you nervous?"He full of amusement in his eyes, I rolled my eyes!
"Of course, what do you expect me to react, I've never met your parents," I said! then he laughs.
"but they know you already, I told them a lot about you so don't worry, I know they'll like you as I do"He tried to cheer me up, I smiled.
" Whatever"
Hours passed, He fetched in the house, I go to my room, and put all the stuff that I buy. Then I see a small piece of paper which is my first for dad was in its inside, I wish he will be there, here. To give this present to him.
I took a shower and lay down on my bed, and fall asleep.
I woke up because of the noise coming from my door.
"She's sleeping" I heard mommy whispered "Let her rest" She added.
"I'm sorry.."It's dad, he's talking with my mom " I'm truly sorry, I promised that I'll visit here as long as I can"
"It's fine, I was just worried about Alona, you know this will be hard for her to celebrate Christmas without you.
So he's not with us at times.
"Sorry, You know what reason I have," Daddy said.
"it's fine with me, but if you asked her, it not. But please I don't want that her mad at you will get on deeper, I can't see her suffering from pain, please understand, I was worried about your daughter" Mommy said like she was giving and advice to her friend.
"I know, I will fulfill all my mistakes that make her understand why I did all these things, It's not the right time, because he can't control her emotion, I know she's mad at me, but please let me tell all those things we've been hard to us, I was too worried about her" daddy explained.
"It's fine, I'll be ready what will gonna happen" mommy answered, Then I heard footsteps, and the edge of my bed got low.
"Alona, forgive me, I'm sorry" It was dad.
"I know you're mad at me, but all of this, all this thing happening to us, it's all have a reason," He said and he stood up, my body feels cold when he scrubs my hair at kiss it.
"I love you, Alona," He said and his footsteps giving me free to breathe again.
"I need to go, take care of her" And the door closed, I opened my eyes and sat on my bed.
"What did they hiding from me?" I whispered to myself.
