The Pearl Necklace

student from the “Hebrew reali school”.

It was midnight already. lots of thoughts was running throw my head. i know it was late.

i cannot tell Marcus about it. i’m leaving tomorrow and it’s mean for good i guess.

it been a great year in new York. new place, new people, new friends and specially new love.

Marcus was a wonderful man. he was my second love although i’m still married to my Ramsey but when i’v met Marcus i know he was the right man for me so i couldn’t just give up on him. Ramsay was at Kobe, the other side of the world so i thought it was a perfect time to me being with Marcus.

It was leaving day. i’m going to stay with my husband in Kobe for good because i know it is the right thing to do.

i couldn’t just leave with fact leaving Marcus ,so I remembered taking the pearl necklace he gave me lately that was very expensive too and that was my last small souvenir from him.

The boat ride was very nice. already went on board and i was happy seeing my Ramsey.

i have to admit it was a long time not seeing him, I quite missed him. i guess i’m going to stay with him for the rest of my life now so it is going to be a new life from me specially moving to Kobe, in japan together.

me and ramsey marrige are complicated already. but if he would know I had an affair with somone else for a whole year i know he would leave ,and probably to another woman.

i’m kind of selfish person and spiecially to my ramsey…but than that happened..

one evening when we set for dinner with some new friends we met on the ship, me and ramsey set with them and we all began to know each other. after we talked alot and chatted, there was one extraordinary person who all the pepole called him Mr.know all. his real name was max kelada and apparently not everyone liked him.

Mr.kelada was very chatty but kind of friendly too. One conversation that started in a bad direction almost ruined the evening. that conversation was having ramsey and Mr.kelad, They talked about pearls and types of pearls and so on about Mr.kelada Who was an expert of pearls. so after they talked alot they made a bet.

I didn’t expect it coming. they made a bet about my pearl nacklace. that one i was wearing. that one marcus gave me. i didn’t know what to do that time. they actullay made a bet on if my pearl nacklace was real or not. and i know it was real but ramsy didn’t. it mean if he would know the truth, he would know the whole of it and i couldn’t let it happened.

The price of the bet was hundered dollar, but the real price of the bat was much heavier. we all knew Mr.kelada was the one who was right. but than somthing changed and he admited the pearls was fake. i didn’t undrstand much and immediatly Mr.kelada handed ramsey the hundered bill and ramsey was proud he won althought everyone knew he didn’t.

But how is it possible? Mr.kelada defienly knew the truth and i mean the whole truth. i guess i needed to thank him although i didn’t even knew him that much, and i have to admitt he aint mean person. i guess everyone need to know him better before they judg him. as a returne the next morning i returned him the hundred bill. i defintley learned my lesson, and to Mr.kelada i thank alot for being kind and saving my marrige although he didn’t had to. he litrally destroyed his reputation in front of everyone and avoided embarrassment to me. and for that i thank him a lot. Thank you max kelada.
