Lost & Found

For my 18th birthday, a friend named Arthur gave me a heart-shaped locket made of pure silver. The locket also had my name engraved on the front. At that time, (from the stories his friends and family told me), I found out that he was head-over-heels for me *blush*. However, his feelings were unrequited on my end (I was not ready nor was I looking for a relationship). As a result, his heartfelt gift had minimal sentimental meaning to me. I was also a bit intimidated by his bold gestures and almost didn't know what to do with it.

About two years have pasted, and Arthur and I are pregnant with our first child and closer than ever. One day Arthur asked me about the locket and told me that the gray box it was in he got from his mom (in other words, it means even MORE now). I had NO IDEA where it was! So I go into a frantic hunt for the missing locket. Months go by, and despite the enormous effort I put into looking for the locket which meant SO MUCH to me now, it was nowhere to be found. Then, on a night as ordinary as any other (September 20, 2007), my mother pops into my room and hands me a gray box. This box I opened to find:

I was ecstatic! Found at last! It came back to me =)

Arthur had such a sweet smile on his face when I showed him what I had found. Thank God this locket was in good hands all this time.
