My shoulder hit hard into hers, it was an old lady. My shoulder hit her head knocking of glasses from the tip of her nose, falling on the ground.
" i am SO sorry, here are your glasses, are you alright? do you need to sit down? do you need some water? wait I'll get you some water"
" a glass of water might just help me, thankyou"
i handed her glasses and went to get her a glass of water
"again I'm truly sorry",i help her sit on the bench beside"....would you like some cake? i know this might sound weird but i baked it myself and it's not really that bad so.."
"I'd be delighted to try it then",she chuckled" this is really good you were being too humble darling"
"haha you think so? I've been practicing a lot ",i gush looking at the palm of my hands. God today keeps getting worse.
"Well your hard work paid of, I think i should give you something in return..wait" she said as she rummaged through her worn-out purse.
"oh no it's alright.. i was the one who bumped into you and offered you the cake you really don't need to give anything it return"
She ignored me and finally took out a tiny pink pouch; it was made of silk with gold colored roses embossed on it. She exclaimed with approval and handed it to me.
"These my dear is a special kind of pearls, they look ordinary but then that's what makes it special, if you put some on your window before sleeping you might just have a great company", she studied my face and then smiled at me. "alright then i must go, take care then. Goodbye Hannah"
"oh you too" did i tell her myname?
-
"mom's asking when you'll go to sleep!" my sister shouted from downstairs.
"Tell her right now!"
"alright goodnight!"
"yeah"
It was so cold that night, i quickly changed and buried myself in the blanket, getting warm and stared at the wall blankly. Finally letting out a breath with all my worries i got out of bed and turned my backpack upside down shaking it until the pouch fell of the ground, its rose pattern shining in my eyes.
Opening it only showed a couple of pearls inside. They looked like regular pearls maybe a bit bigger in size. I did as the lady told me to do, opened my window and arranged the pearls on the edge.- I'm not sure if i heard it right, arrange them by your window? I peeped outside and waited for a while. I'm not sure what i expected to happen, but i was hoping for something.
"this is stupid" i said falling back on bed and crossing my arms. It made me very upset, i mean, what was even suppose to happen?
This sudden harsh wind swept up my face making me look outside the window.
"what is that"" I managed to say.
