Part 9 ~~ The Gift

Slowly, Mel unwrapped the present... She saw the pendant sparkling right in front of her eyes... It was the most beautiful pendant she ever seen! Then, she saw a card beside it...

[Hi Mel,Firstly, I like to wish you a very Happy Birthday! I'm really very sorry that I couldn't come back to celebrate it with you... You should know the reason by now! How nice it will be if I'm there to wear the necklace for you and see your beautiful smile once again but I could only blame myself for not saving enough money all these while when I'm here! Nevertheless, I still hope that you will like the gift and may your life sparkle as bright as the star! Miss ya! Take care... Bye!Regards,Shawn]

Mel was lost for words when she finished reading the card! She misunderstood Shawn all along... She really felt very bad... All along she thought that Shawn didn't care about her anymore and just when she wanna give up thoughts about him, she found out that actually Shawn still cared about her... She was feeling very lost especially now when she just started to be with Jacko...

[Hi Shawn,I really dont know what to say! I liked the gift very much... Thanks! Why are you so silly?? You could have just make a trip back to visit ur family and frens during your vacation... I'm sure they miss you but yet you choose to buy tat gift for me and now, you gotta spent your vacation all alone there... I really feel so bad... Is it worth doing all these for me?? It isnt Shawn... And there is something that I ought to let you know... I'm already seeing someone else... So don't waste all your efforts on me anymore... I really appreciate whatever you done for me in the past... Take care too! Bye.. Regards,Mel]

Mel didnt really wanna be that harsh to Shawn but that was the only way to let Shawn get over her and for her to get over Shawn as well! She couldnt take it anymore... She didnt want her feelings for Shawn to be growing deeper and deeper since there wasn't any chances for them to be together anymore...

[Mel...I'm glad that you liked the gift! I just want to tell you that I never regretted buying you the gift... At least to me... Its worth it! I just want you to be happy... The rest of the things doesn't matter Mel! Dun worry about me here, I'll be fine... And glad that you already found someone to take care of you... Looks like you don't need me to worry about you anymore... I shall hand you over to him from now on.... Hope you really find your true happiness with him... All the best to the 2 of you!Regards,Shawn]

Mel never heard from Shawn again after that... She didn't know whether she was doing the right thing or not but she knew that it was the best sloution to end both their misery! Few days later, Mel met up with Jacko...

[Mel]: Jacko... There is something I want to tell you...
[Jacko]: Yes?
