Eternal Love

Emily was window shopping at the new shopping mall nearby her house. Although she just received her salary but she did not have the mood to spend the money. Her mind was all about the scene she saw that morning.

She was on her way to work and she saw a familiar figure at the street next to her office. She could not believe what she saw and keep reminding herself it’s not true. She just cannot believe that her boyfriend was hugging another girl and on their way to her favorite café. She dare not look back and ran into her office instead. The scene kept replying in her mind and she had totally no mood to work. He was her first love and she loved him with all her heart. She never betrays him, not even lied to him. She thought he would be her only love and would married to him when their financial status is stable. She had been together with him for 5 years but she never sees her boyfriend smiled so happily when he was hugging another girl. Her heart ached so badly and the tears flowed non-stop. She decided to take half day leave from her office to chill her mind.

Suddenly, she was attracted by a set of jewelry displayed in the window of the shop. “Eternal Love” is the theme of that set of jewelry. She wondered the existence of eternal love and felt childish with the theme.

“Miss, are you interested in that set of jewelry?” asked a promoter.

“No. I just wonder is there any eternal love?” said Emily.

“Of course there is, Miss. This is the latest collection designed by our famous designer. He believed that owner of this collection of jewelry will definitely find eternal love someday.”

“I think this is only a trick you all used to attract the buyer.” said Emily without looking at the promoter. She thinks that there is no eternal love as she put so much effort in her relationship but now everything is gone.

“Miss, don’t be so pessimistic. May be you do not believe in eternal love now but once you wear this collection of jewelry, your true love will appear soon.” said the promoter.

“No, I seriously do not believe in eternal love. I just dumped by my 5 years boyfriend. I saw him hugging another girl walking into my favorite café. Now you tell me whether I should believe in eternal love or not?” asked Emily with a depressed tone.

"You should, Miss. The designer had faith in himself and the buyer. He hoped that the owner of the jewelry is blessed with eternal love. He used 3 years to design and make this set of jewelry. "

“3 years? So what? I do not care how long it takes to design this freaking jewelry!”

“Miss, there is a story behind this set of jewelry.”

“Story?”

“Yes. An eternal love story. The designer always believes in eternal love because he saw it from his parents. His father is in love with his mother since they are 17. They knew each other in high school and have fallen in love with each other so madly. Their relationship is very close and one day, his mother found out that she was pregnant but both families did not allow them to get marry and banned them from meeting up. His mother then ran away from her house and went to a village in Oregon. She work hardly everyday and raise up her son all by herself. She loved her son so much because he is the only prove of the love between herself and the father of the designer. 15 years later, the father of the designer was transferred to Oregon for 3 months. On the day before he left Oregon, he decided to visit to the village outside of the town because his colleague once went there and finds the village is very beautiful. When he was having dinner at a small restaurant in the village, he found out that the dish served by the restaurant is very familiar. He then asked permission to go into the kitchen and he found her in the kitchen. They were so shocked and touched to see each other because they still love each other deeply. Both of them hugged each other tightly and they swear they will never let each other go again. His father decided to stay in Oregon and they married each other later. But the story had not end yet. A few years later, a serious earthquake attacked Oregon and both of them were trapped underground for a few days. When the rescue teams found their body, both of them were hugging each other closely and their hand were held tightly. The designer was lucky enough that he was at a summer camp in California and avoided himself from the tragedy. He was so touched when he saw the dead bodies of his parents. He believed that his parents still love each other so much even though they had gone to another place. From there, he believed that love can be forever and eternal.” explained the promoter.

“Wow, in fact that was a touching story. They must be very lucky to find back each other after so many years and ended their life with the company of their loved one.” said Emily with tears running in her eyes.

“Yea. The designer promised himself to engrave the eternal love of his parents in his designs and therefore this collection is named Eternal Love. This collection was 100% handmade and there is only 1 set available. If you are interested in it, you should buy it down, Miss.”

“Is it really true that once I owned this jewelry I will find my true love?”

“Yes of course. You want to try it on?” asked the promoter

“Yea.”

“It suits you very well! It’s like specially made for you, Miss.”

“Wow, it looks superb on me. I think I will buy this.”

“Thanks, Miss. Alright, this is your warranty card for the jewelry. You can come back and polish your jewelry free for life and the most important one is, if you failed to find your true love in one month time, you can refund the whole set of jewelry and we will compensate you another USD10000.” said the promoter carefully.

“One month? USD10000? Are you kidding me?” asked Emily curiously

“No, I am not kidding with you. It is the promise of the designer.”

“Okay.”

“I hope that you can find your eternal love soon.”

“Thanks, bye.”

“Bye.”
