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. I took out the marble cake i made in the morning and handed it to her.
" 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? maybe i expected some fairy godmother to show up and make my life better.
This sudden harsh wind swept up my face making me look outside the window.
"what is that"" I managed to say.
