Vince smile and said, "I know Robin, and I am very sorry, but there is a slight mix-up somewhere, I just need it to fit my pinky finger I am sure this time so don't worry, it must be a bit smaller than this."
"Vince, notices Robin's hesitation, wondering if there will be a problem changing the ring, "Vince you will not get one with this pattern."
Happy to hear that, Vince hurried and said, "It's all right Robin, I wasn't expecting it to be the same, in fact, I only learned she cannot wear jewellery and the wedding is Saturday."
Seeing Robin looking at him with a frown, Vince had no idea what he was thinking. Vince knew he was the faulted one, so he had to distract his attention, "What is the problem hurry up and show me a nice one. I still have a few errands to run."
Robin's concern touches Vince's heart when he says in a rebuking manner, "Vince, you should have all these things done before, it is almost eleven and you will be late and have the bride waiting."
Knowing Robin misunderstood his words Vince uttered his words slowly and clearly word by word, "It's all right she could wait, what is a week again?"
Seeing Robin sigh as he said, "You had me worried for a moment, I thought the wedding was today?"
Lost in his thoughts when Robin said, "Here try this one, Vince?" Seeing his head twist slightly, "You don't like it? Vince, this one is lovely," seeing his hesitation "You don't like this one either?"
"You are not listening to me Robin, the bride cannot wear jewellery, she gets breakouts in her skin."
Robin looks at Vince wondering if he is hearing right. "Can you repeat what you said again?"
"Robin I just said the bride cannot wear jewellery, she gets breakouts. Hearing those words brings joy to his heart knowing this is a good opportunity to sell this set that was ordered, then was cancelled. "
Vince, you are the second person to tell me that in two months, let me show you this. beautiful set" Vince noticed Robin turn around taking out a beautiful set from the showcase behind him.
"This is a set a customer ordered two months ago, then he said his marriage was cancelled, Vince, he ordered this chain because the bride cannot wear jewellery."
"Tell me how much is the difference between this ring and that chain set?"
Hearing Robin laugh, "Vince you shock me sometimes, I know money is not an issue so what is a few thousand extra?"
"You are right a few extra thousand won't make a difference when you love someone." I agree you cannot put for love." In a daze, Vince didn't know if to laugh or cry hearing those words.
Feeling his heart pounding as a heaviness zoomed in, Vince wondered if there would ever be such a thing in this marriage, Angry with Chrystal for rejecting his marriage proposal.
Robin didn't see the gloominess in Vince's face, as he continued to speak. His words brought him back to the present, what got his attention was when he said, "If the bride cannot wear jewellery, then it will go perfectly especially if she wears high-neck clothes with the chain."
Holding the set in his hand admiring it for a few minutes, wondering, 'Why didn't the person take it? It is very lovely even prettier than the one I had bought for Chrystal.
It is twofold, if the bride had selected it, she had, real taste. But Miss Fussy might have a problem with it, I am sure because from the way I see her dressing, she has no class.'
As he ponders about her, he recalled her words when she was speaking to her mom earlier, 'When she returned from prayer meeting she had given her mom her medication. So she did go to Church, that is why she was dressed that way. I wonder if she came after Church or before to visit me. Could it also mean she purposely dresses in such a disgusting manner to put me off intentionally'?
Closing his eyes trying to recall what she was wearing when we were standing by the roadway.
When we first collided with each other that first day she was dressed in a working suit, but today it was as if his mind went blank.
When Robin touches his hand, "Robin, what I meant, is how much I have to pay extra for the set you are holding, I just want to make sure the ring fits."
"Here you go, try it on Vince and if you are taking this one, you cannot return it." Noticing how Vince was looking at him, Robin whispers in his heart, "Please Lord, let him take it, I just want to get it out of my hand.'
When he tried it on on his pinky finger it fit perfectly, "As you can see it fits perfectly but if there is a problem it will work as a pendant for the chain. So I won't be losing anyhow, and you don't have to worry I won't be returning to buy another or to return the ring."
"You sound confidence about this ring set Vince."
"Oh I am, you see I like it very much so I could gift myself it if things don't work out, it will remind me of the goodness of God."
Seeing Robin's puzzled look, Vince just smiles thinking, 'If only he knows the truth about this wedding he will think I am such a fool, but nobody needs to know that I am just agreeing because of GP. If I cannot convince GP then I am wasting my time and effort. I must also make him happy, so we will have to carry about ourselves as newlyweds, and she will have to do the same for her mother.'
Seeing the receipt Vince thought, 'Good choice, GP will like it, and it's just a few extra thousand with no stress. I am hoping for no complaints either because it seems that is all she does?'
