The case of the missing ring

Oh the ring looked absolutely stunning on her finger. A solitaire. Curiosity killed the feline and he walked up to her and asked her where she sourced the ring? Was it an engagement ring? If so, can she ask the fiance where he got it for her?

She looked at him puzzled and lost at the engagement bit. He still looked at her hopefully. She realized he was still expecting a response. Snapping out of her reverie she told him there was no engagement really. A bit dazed he again looked at her and then asked her about the ring. He ignored the broken engagement bit.

A week ago there was a sapphire. A big dazzling, royal blue rock. The finger did feel heavy with the weight. But the relationship felt heavier. She walked along the streets of Kalaghoda when she saw this solitaire ring and thought why not? The only doubt in her head then was that the ring was as heavy in weight as her previous one. Infact it was a few grams heavier than the royal blue.

After pondering a few moments that felt like aeons, she bought the ring. The sapphire ring found its way into the sea like the 'Queen of oceans'. Solitaire replaced the empty space on the finger.

A week passed by. The finger almost felt naked despite the heavy ring. For once she fondly looked at the purchase she made for herself. The moment was almost symbolic and metaphoric. She gave him a bright smile that reflected her spirit.

And then told him where she bought the ring. Some moons ago and some seas away, she bought the ring with whatever life was left in her.
