Jenny leaned her ears toward the story that Celyn might tell while Marcus was still kept her attention on the highway road. Celyn was too serious as she spoke with low pitch of voice.

"Twenty years ago when my mother had an argued between her and my father, they were always fighting out the nonsense things that sorrounding them,...maybe it is because they have no children to become their happiness that's why they are always mad on each other."

As she continued she made a deep breath" And that time that my mom wanted to left my father,... She open the gate of our home ...that time was rainy and the sorrounding was cold enough to go outside, the thunder roared and the lighting stroked all over the places, my mom was on the front gate carrying her umbrella to protect herself to the rain... and she saw something that placed at the waiting shed that their front gate had... my mom kneeled on the ground and how shocking moment she experienced as the things that place inside was revealed"

Celyn sudden made a deep breath, as she continued, she soothed her left arms gentlenly.

"And she opened it and... beautiful baby that lying at the brown basket was the surprising things that she saw inside...my mom looked every where to find someone who are responsible to do that however, as being desirable to have own child, she did not made any doubt to picked that things inside the basket. ..that baby is looked like an angel that bless their home that time, as a suprise, my mom took that baby and happily carried it inside our home, my father shouted as he notice that my mom came back to his house, but instead my mom get angry to what my father did toward her, she walked closer to my father and sweetly smile carrying a angel like baby on her chest. And because of the loud screamed that my father did, the baby cried as she heard the sound that awakened the baby's conciousness."

Jenny wanted to listen every details of the story but Celyn sudden continued her story at the exciting ending

"And... they saw the marked that it had in the right upper part of my chest and they said that it's looked like a crescent moon same as my necklace....they told me that , the baby is me, and they told that no matter what happened ...I need to take care my necklace and do not remove it in my neck everywhere I go"

Jenny shrinked her head and tauntingly pouted her lips." Celyn continued telling it...it's looked like interesting story!"

Marcus who where driving the car still listening and secretly smiled because of the serious facial expression of his beloved.

Celyn moved her head as an approval to continue her story about her life and also about the necklace.
