Afternoon.
A grand jewellery store.
Lights shining everywhere.
Gold.
Diamonds.
Sparkle in every corner.
The families sat together.
Excited.
Focused.
Serious.
Because this…
Was important.
Jay sat in the middle.
Surrounded by trays.
Necklaces.
Earrings.
Bangles.
Too many options.
Too many choices.
She stared at them.
Confused.
Very confused.
Jeena picked one.
"This looks beautiful."
Serina nodded.
"Yes, elegant."
The staff smiled.
"Try this, ma'am."
Jay looked at it.
Then slowly…
Turned her head.
Toward him.
Keifer.
Standing slightly behind.
Watching quietly.
Jay raised the necklace slightly.
"How is it?"
Keifer looked.
Just once.
Then shook his head lightly.
"No."
Jay nodded instantly.
"Okay, next."
Silence.
Jeena blinked.
"…that fast?"
Serina hid a smile.
Another set was brought.
Heavy.
Traditional.
Rich.
Jeena's eyes lit up.
"This one!"
Jay held it.
Looked at the mirror.
Then again…
Turned.
"Keifer?"
Keifer tilted his head.
"Too much."
Jay removed it immediately.
"Yeah, too much."
Jasfer leaned back.
Watching carefully.
Keizer crossed his arms.
Already amused.
Another one came.
Simple.
Minimal.
Jay wore it.
Looked at herself.
Then—
"Keifer?"
Keifer stepped a little closer.
Looked properly this time.
A small pause.
Then…
"Perfect."
Jay's face changed instantly.
Her smile soft.
Real.
"I like this."
She didn't even check anything else.
Jeena frowned slightly.
"You didn't even compare."
Jay shrugged.
"This is good."
Serina looked at Keifer.
Then at Jay.
Then smiled knowingly.
Earrings next.
Jay picked one pair.
Held it near her ear.
Looked in the mirror.
Then turned—
"Keifer?"
Keifer sighed softly.
Trying not to smile.
"Nice."
Jay nodded.
"Pack it."
Jasfer couldn't hold it anymore.
"Jay."
She looked at him.
"Yes?"
"Are you shopping…"
"…or is he?"
Silence.
Jay blinked.
Then casually—
"Both."
Keizer laughed.
"Honest answer."
More bangles were brought.
Jay tried one.
Looked at her hand.
Then automatically—
"Keifer?"
Keifer raised a brow.
"You don't have your own opinion?"
Jay looked at him.
Calm.
"I do."
"Just want yours more."
Silence.
That line…
Hit differently.
Keifer looked at her.
A little softer now.
"Looks good."
Jay smiled.
"Then done."
Jeena shook her head.
"This girl…"
Serina chuckled.
"She's not even hiding it."
Jay didn't deny.
Didn't argue.
Didn't pretend.
She just kept doing the same thing.
Every piece.
Every choice.
Every decision.
"Keifer?"
"Keifer?"
"Keifer?"
Again.
And again.
And again.
Finally…
Keifer stepped closer.
Stood right beside her.
Close enough.
He leaned slightly.
And said softly—
"You'll look good in anything."
Jay paused.
Turned to him.
"Then why am I asking?"
Keifer smiled faintly.
"Because you want to."
Jay's lips curved.
"Exactly."
A small silence.
Then she added quietly…
"I like when you choose for me."
Keifer's expression softened.
Completely.
No teasing now.
No jokes.
Just… understanding.
He nodded once.
"Then I'll choose."
Jay smiled.
Content.
Satisfied.
Because for her…
It wasn't about jewellery.
It wasn't about gold.
Or diamonds.
It was about him.
His choice.
His approval.
His presence.
And somehow…
That mattered more than everything else.
