All afternoon, Balena was very sweet. He took me for a walk in Milan, took me to lunch and bought me many gifts.
"How, that..." He pointed to a jewelry gallery in the shopping mall.
"What?" I still want him to say it.
"We'll buy your ring and choose our wedding ring." I smiled, all of a sudden this morning. Unplanned, it just happens.
"Balena, you were so impulsive today. You're sure about this."
"How come, why are you asking again, I told you." He pulled me into the jewelry gallery and sat me in front of it.
"Sir what can I help you with." The staff smiled kindly at us.
"We're looking for engagement and wedding ring sets."
"Attomans and wedding rings. It's usually bought separately, you buy it at the same time sir? Is this your brother or your future wife?"
"My future wife, I proposed to her, but I haven't bought her ring yet." This Balena admitted it honestly while smiling broadly.
"Miss, you should have nagged her, that's kind of outrageous..." I laughed because the staff was joking with us.
"You're right, miss, she does need to be scolded."
"This is our solitaire ring collection. If there's anything you want but here doesn't fit the size, give us two weeks to finish to your size." He shifted a show field in front of me.
"This is a custom design catalog you can also order."
"This is all..." I don't want to be too complicated for an engagement ring, he said he'd set it up in the spring, that's a little bit more.
"This way? You don't want anything else?" That's a standard solitaire ring for today's little reminder.
"No, I want to keep it as a memory I'm afraid of eliminating it in the garden. You know I wear gloves sometimes what if I lose the diamonds."
"Ohh, if you choose another one, that's fine..."
"I want that one." I smiled at him. I knew he could buy me another one that was more festive, more expensive, but I just assumed it was a decoration I would keep. There's a lot more important than a ring I'm gonna keep. "May I put date embroidery on her ring box?" The waiter said he could.I'm already happy with the custom.
I chose a wedding ring with a solid shape, sleek, there is one small diamond that is impossible to lose. He surprises me with my choice. I'd rather appreciate its function to show we're married. And it just so happened that he liked my choice then it was quickly completed.
"Yes it's over, is there something strange about that?"
"Don't I think choosing such a thing is a bit long, my friends say they need to look into some stores? I thought you wanted to, look your best."
"You don't like our rings? We can trade it, I just like the simple design so I can't get rid of it..." I touched on the question. Didn't he like it?
"No, but I thought it would be more complicated..." Ohh I understand what the question means, why we only half an hour but his friends could spend days.
"Ohh, balena, a lot of simple things why it has to be complicated, why spend our time just for a ring. You like me I like, let's make all the problems simpler."
"Is that?"
"so." I smiled at him.
"Hmm okay, let's just say we're us..." He's embracing me. You want to find your wedding dress.
"I'll choose it with Mama, don't worry. I want a simple wedding, is it okay. I have to ask Auntie for permission, I guess..."
"Why do you want simple..."
"I've been married, I realize there's no point in making marriage complicated, what's important to me is that you and I can get through it without much fuss, we can enjoy our events with the family, we can enjoy our, and pals. And the most important thing is that our family is always okay... There's something important, I want you not to spend the weekend in Catania, we're family, my mother's still there I don't want to leave her, your mother's also in Catania, I'd like if you could stay longer in Catania. You should have the man who manages in Milan. If we have children, .. I want you to always come back home. Because right now I want to be close to Mom and still manage the farm. For now, for the future we might be able to move to Milan, but I pity my own mother..." I'm more interested in talking about this than talking about the ring, because it's a difficult matter.
"Yes I did think about it, I already had a plan indeed. Don't worry, I'll take care of it. I already have someone I can take responsibility for in Milan."
"I'm glad you've thought about it..." He smiled and grabbed me.
"How, I'm a little relieved we don't move around the jewelry store, I heard my friend's story was horror." I laughed at his comment.
"If we can simplify the problem let's simplify okay, ..."
"I agree." We smile at each other.
Looks like our wedding this spring will not be complicated, everything will go smoothly, like the smoothness of our 20-year friendship.
