‘Rich doesn’t seem your style, Ellen. I was surprised when we met. Don’t you normally go in for more flamboyant men? I mean, Rich is the sort of guy, you would normally steer clear of?’
‘Emma, he’s not the sort of person who I would normally go for, but he will make a wonderful husband.’
‘Yes. For someone else possibly, but for you?’
‘He’s rich’, said Ellen.
‘Yes, I have figured that his name is Rich’
‘No no, silly, he’s loaded!’
‘I cannot believe that we share the same set of parents! How can you be so mercenary? Don’t you realize that happiness is what matters, that money isn’t enough make you happy? You know, sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart!’
‘You know, sis, for a change,I agree with you. I was waiting until we meet Mum and Dad for this,but..’ Ellen fishes in her handbag and pulls put something.
A twinkling diamond engagement ring.
‘Small enough, my darling sis?’

Now that, is definitely small, but is it small enough to take up the entire room in her heart? I wonder.
I wonder too. Maybe her heart is small enough?
Ya maybe!
Welcome here, Gayu.
Maybe a small heart is enough for that small ring. But there are such hearts in the world.
Nice fiction, Smitha! 🙂
There sure are such hearts, no question about that:)
The small diamond ring is enough to fill her heart. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, as it is said so. But it is the sparkle of the loved one behind the diamond that matters the most.
Welcome here, Kalpana. Yes the love behind the ring is what should matter, but of course there are hearts which yearn more for the ring than the love.
Great!! A diamond ring is enough to keep her happy.. What about Love?
Her choice, her perspective, I suppose. Love might not be important enough for her?
This is so sad! 😦
It is so sad when individuals put money above everything in a relationship…..I wonder whether the diamond can cheer her up when she is really low……
Yes, that is true..
World is a mysterious place.. Sometimes the want for physical pleasures than intangible subtleness is a cry for attention..to feel and touch and to be self assured that there is a secure physical manifestation of love that wont change even if people do..I was judgemental the minute I read it..but a minute later..my heart said this ..take care..thank you for sharing this story Smitha 🙂
Welcome here, and thank you for such an insightful comment. Hope you stop by again.
Its sad that she measured everything with money.. and that diamond ring!
Beautifully written 🙂
Thanks Pixie:)

Hit enter too soon. But what after the daze of diamond fades……..
I figured that:)
I guess she is too dazzled by the diamond to think about that !
we all seek our own heavens on earth.
Yes, and we have our own definitions of heaven too, don’t we?
I don’t know if I should call her shallow or practical…Still wondering 😛
Each to his own, I guess…
A ring can make any woman melt into a puddle. 🙂
I guess:) Also if it is the right person giving you the ring.
May be for her it is money that matters the most!
Yes, maybe for her, that is enough.
She is going to go places.
