Diamonds are forever

See that big whole in the middle?

Yesterday, while I was stuck in my car near MUIS area, I saw something odd on my left fingers (at that time both hands were on steering) I just realized that the diamond on my wedding ring slipped. I don't know what happen, in the first place how could that happen? I thought diamond don't just slip right? Imagine my horror masa tu? Kelam kabut I called my sister and bff. I feel macam mau tercabut nyawa, ok? I can't concentrate my driving. Siap driving sambil mms this photo to my sister, bff and colleague@gurlfriend.

The first thing that popped up on my mind was, my hubby is going to kill me! Di tambah lagi dengan my sister said, maybe it's a bad sign? oh no! I terus freak out! Tambah serabutlah my head masa tu. Initially, I was so worried of what will my hubby's reaction when I tell him this piece of bad news. Dalam hati, habislah I'm deadmeat after all the money that he spent on this wedding ring? I even had the thought of going back to TOMEI and buy a new diamond with the same design and just replace it. My hubby wouldn't know, would he?

Despite cover-up plan that I have in mind, at that particular point of time, deep inside me, it feels like a big stab to my heart when I saw that big whole in the middle because this ring means a lot to me. It's my wedding ring and the sentimental value that comes with this ring is totally in describable. For a moment I felt lost. I never thought that when the diamond slipped, only then it makes me realized how much this ring means to me.

Come to think of it, sometimes we tend to take things for granted. Only when we lost it or it's gone, barulah kecarian, barulah appreciate, barulah tersedar. Sometimes it's just too late but if you are lucky you may get the chance to make amends or show that this thing/person means something to you. In my case, I was lucky because that diamond slipped inside my handbag. Thank God! Alhamdullilah. Next time , I might not be this lucky.

Later that evening, I did tell my hubby the truth. Lucky me again, he wasn't angry or mad at me but I am not suprised, knowing he is very calm and collected (well, he is totally opposite of me!maybe that's why we are together :-D). In fact he was cool about it. Tapi part yang paling I suka dengar was, when he said "Maybe this ring need another ring to kasih kawan dia" Hehehe...this part, me likey!

Moral of the story, don't take things for granted and for now don't buy any jewellery from TOMEI until I get a good explanation how could this happened. After all, when you spent thousands, off course you expect high quality workmanship.
