The Magical Ring

Silly Questions

I took the letter that someone left for me in the hospital. "Mr. Daniel Black, did you remember this?" I asked while giving the letter to him. Daniel read it and smiled.

"I'm so sorry Miss Velora. I know what I did is unlawful because I took your ring without formal permission. Besides, what I wrote here was quite bad, I'm sorry," he apologize.

"It's alright Mr. Black," I replied even I'm a little bit irritated on what he wrote in the letter last time. He calls me stupid girl there, haha. Lol! "I know that I owe you my life and I could never repay it whatever I do. But that ring is the only thing I have. My grandma gave it to me when I was seven. It's a treasure and I don't want to lose it. Mr. Black, I will pay you with all your expenses for me in the hospital and give back the two hundred thousand pesos too. I will do any favor you will ask me to do as long as you give me back my precious ring," I seriously said. "Please Mr. Black," I plead.

"You will do any favor that I will ask you to do?" Daniel asked me.

"Yes," I replied.

"Come with me tonight," I was struck when he said it. I don't know what to think, it's too bad haha. I could never do it because I have to attend Sophie's birthday party. I will never do it just to get back the ring. I better sue him in the court.

"Hahahaha!" I laughed. "I didn't know that you're good in joking too, Mr. Black," I said.

"I'm not joking, Gladilaine," he called me with my first name. He is very serious, indeed.

"Then, what are we going to do tonight if ever I agreed?" I curiously asked and this time, Daniel laughed.

He laughed, "Hahaha, hahaha!" He looks so happy which I've never seen on his face lately.

"I'm happy to see you laughing Mr. Black but may I know what is funny? " I innocently asked.

"Mhmm!" He cleared his throat. "Haha!" he laughed a little again. "I'm sorry. I just realized that you maybe thinking something bad. Haha!" Daniel said while still chuckling. Is that so funny for him? Well, what do a man and a woman does when they meet at night? Ooops, I didn't said anything wrong but if you thought of it, then we have the same thoughts haha.

"Mr. Black, just ask other favor. Something not disgusting and cannot hurt anyone," I seriously said and he seriously looked at me now.

"Miss Gladilaine Velora, I'm only asking you to come with me at home if you're available. I'm not forcing you nor rushing you tonight. We still have other days to meet again if you're not available later. You know, it's already 4 pm. The ring was left on my house, that's why I'm asking you to come with me," he explained.

"Mhhhrmm!" I cleared my throat. "I'm not thinking something wrong Mr. Black, maybe it's only you who think about it," I immediately denied. Gosh, I'm too shameful and he just chuckled. "It's my bestfriend's birthday party tonight and I have no way to missed it. If it's alright, I'll meet you here again tomorrow or anywhere you want. Please bring the Ring for me, I badly missed it," I seriously said.

"Alright, alright," Daniel said. "Why don't you give me your address so that I can come and bring it personally in your home?" he asked.

"That would be my pleasure if you visit and bring back my ring at home Mr. Black. I'm staying with the twins in their mansion. You already have their calling cards, just please come there if you want," I said.

"So, you're staying with them. Are they your relatives?" Daniel asked.

"The siblings are my bestfriends. The reason why I'm staying with them is quite personal and private," I said. "Can we please not talk about it?" I asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry," he apologize.

"Mr. Black, I guess I really have to leave now. The twins are still waiting for me outside," I said.

"Sure, let me send you outside," he said and stood up.

I stood up and smiled at him. "Let's go," I said and we went out from the event room together. "Just call me if you already have time for me to be able to get the ring. If you're not busy and want to visit at home and bring it yourself, just let me know too," I said while we are walking.

"Don't worry. I will surely give your ring back to you," Daniel said and he opened the restaurants main door for me.

"Mr. Black, don't bother to go with me until the car. It's just there and I'm alright here now. Maybe you still have a lot of things to finish today, you can go back to your office now. Thank you so much for your kindness and for everything," I said and he smiled.

"Alright, please take care," Daniel replied and I already make my way out. I looked back and waved my right hand at him. Then, I went to the parking lot and Johan immediately went out of the car and opened the door for me in the other side. "Thanks," I said and got inside. Then, Johan went back to the driver's seat.

"What take you so long?" Jonas asked.

"Bro, of course she talked to Mr. Black about the ring," Johan replied.

"Is it really the only reason? Did you get back the ring?" Jonas seriously asked.

"Not yet. He said that he left it at home. He even invited me to go with him tonight if I really want to get it right now but of course, I can't go with him," I replied. "But don't worry, he is willing to call me when he already have spare time to meet and give me back the ring," I explained.

"What if he lost it again?" Jonas asked.

"Don't be so negative. Let's just hope that he keep it in a safe place and will be able to give it back to me," I replied. "Johan, what are you waiting for?" I asked. "We are getting late on the party," I said.

"I thought you were only going to debate here and don't want to go anymore," Johan said.

"Bro, we are not in the driver's seat," Jonas replied and it made Johan look irritated. Johan immediately drive the car very fast.

"What if he will wear it?" Jonas asked again. Didn't he know how to stop asking negative things? Gosh!

"Let's hope that he won't," I plainly replied.

"What if we will experience a car accident tonight, Johan?" Jonas asked again and I just shook my head.

"What if you stop asking nonsense things?" Johan irritatedly replied.

"Is it really none sense or is it possible things? Isn't it just being realistic?" Jonas asked.

"Stop!" I shouted and Johan stopped the car. "Why did you stop the car?" I curiously asked.

"Didn't you said, stop?" Johan asked and looked back at Jonas. He is simply laughing. "Why are you laughing there?" he asked but Jonas ignored him.

"I'm asking you two to stop. You're questions are irritating, specially his," I said and looked at Jonas angrily.

"I'm sorry," Johan said and he drives the car again.

"It's alright. Let's just go directly to Sophie's house, we're really getting late," I said to Johan.

"Yes, Mi amor," Johan said and smiled to me. One hour and a half later, we stopped because of a long traffic. Drive a little, stop, drive and stop. What a long traffic that Jonas already fell asleep at the backseat while listening to his headphones.

"It's already 6:00 pm. Do you think we can reach there before 7 pm?" I asked Johan.
