We went to buy the gifts for the newly weds. I always thought that women preferred clothes and jewellery as presents. It's the common knowledge for everyone I guess.
That's why we decided to visit the jewellery store. I was not in the mood to search for a gift. But Stella forced me to pick the gift for Luke since I'm his best friend.
Ugh! Kill me please!
Let's just go with the watches. He even likes to wear them. I'll buy the latest model. But then I remembered, Luke is a very fashionable guy and a dumbass. He usually buys the new models, then throws away the old ones after using them for few times.
Somewhere in my heart, I wanted to give him a present that he would use often. I wonder what's with the sudden change of my heart. I have never been so sceptical about buying gifts for people.
So the problem is he likes to buy luxurious things to spend his cash. It will be awkward if I buy the same watch he's using right now.
Guess I gotta cross that from the list.
A suitable gift for Luke. What can it be? I'm really confused. Up until now I been giving him random stuffs without even thinking about it.
But this is a wedding gift. I won't be giving him again unless he gets married for the second time.
" Honey." I rest my head on my wife's shoulder—— my personal pillow after getting tired of such mental labour.
" You back already?" Woah! What's with the tone. She doesn't so sound happy to see me.
" I can't find something." Pressing my lips inward, I timidly replied.
" Wow! What a horrible friend you are. Can't even pick a gift." She yells at me, breaking my poor heart.
Oh god! Why must be I punished for my idiot friends?
" Give me some ideas." Pressing my face onto her body, I whɨnėd like a kid.
" Don't be so childish. You know him better than I do." That's where you are wrong wifey!
" Wow! I really am a horrible friend." My sarcasm hit the mark. But I was also admitting my fault. Really. Although my expression betrayed me, revealing my wicked side!
" Go now. I'm busy." She drove me away like a lost puppy or more like a bug. I bet she's very annoyed at me. I'm so useless—— a hopeless disappointment.
Anyway I struggled hard to find the perfect gift for my best friend—— Luke. Not gonna lie, my brain got twisted in a bad perplexity.
After some serious calculations, I finally found it. The moment I laid my eyes on it, I knew it had to be the one. I told them to gift wrap it.
If this doesn't make him happy then I better stop being his friend.
As the packing was done, I returned back to my wife. After looking around the place where I left her, my gaze fell upon her. It seems that she has also found the gift for Regina.
The attendant was warping the the gift but Stella was looking at the earring displayed next to her. I couldn't hear her but she told the man to hand over the earrings.
Ah! Diamonds are women's best friends.
Of course she can't keep her eyes away from such jewels. I smiled at the sight of her dazzlement. Because she never showed any interest in buying jewellery. My card is with her so she doesn't have to worry.
I waited for her at the gate. It will make her embarrassed if she found out that I was gawking at her.
" You got the gift?"
" Yes, yes, yes. Now let's head back home."
" Okay."
When we sat in the car, I thought I should tell her to show me the gift she picked for Regina and I was also eager to see that thing she bought.
" So, what did you got?" Stella took out the box of jewellery. Inside that box, it was a necklace, simple yet elegant. Perfect for Regina.
She usually has to attend various meetings so wearing a simple necklace is much preferable. Indeed a great gift.
" Here. I picked this necklace for her. It's not extravagant and she can wear it most of the time." I noticed that the bag is empty. It made me wonder where is that earrings.
" Hmm. Very nice. What about the other?"
" That's it. I didn't got anything else." She gave me a puzzled look.
" Wait what?"
" Theo, a gift should be meaningful not extravagant. I'm not gonna buy the whole store, if that's what you wanted." Stella misunderstood me.
" Hey! That's not what I meant." I tried to correct her.
" Whatever. Anyway what did you got for Luke?" She didn't dragged the conversation.
" Sorry, can't show you now. It's packed. You'll see it then and there."
" I hope it's not something childish." It sounded like a threat. Or maybe she's being sarcastic.
" Honey, please have some faint in your husband. I'm not that useless." Stella laughs at me. I was thinking about a way to go back there. Then I got an idea.
" Shit! I think I dropped my wallet at the store." I lied while pretending to search for my wallet.
" Then lets go-" I stopped her from finishing the sentence.
" Nah, you stay here. I'll go, get it." Before she could accompany me, I left the car and went back to that store.
I thought I knew my wife very well. What an idiot I am. To think that she will buy something expensive on her own will.
Don't count your chickens until they hatched.
My ȧssumption was wrong. But I knew she liked those earrings. That's why I went back to the store and looked for them. They were displayed at the same place. I bought them and put the box into my pocket. My plan is to surprise her.
We came back home to get ready for the dinner. I dressed up usually. As soon Stella was finished getting ready she came to downstairs where I was waiting for her. She wore a beautiful dress with her hair down. The long black hair covered her back to give herself some warmth in this chilly season.
" Let's go." She was leaving but I grabbed her arm gently to halt her.
" What's wrong?" The confusion is all over her sculpted face. Without any delay I handed her the earrings so that she can wear them now.
Surprise! surprise!
" Now don't say that you actually dislike them." I was dead sure that she liked those earrings but there may be a little chance of her disliking them. Maybe that's why she didn't buy them.
Fuck it! I'll trust my heart.
