41 PRECIOUS GEM (2/2)
she explained seriously, taking a deep breath and continue.
”all I want for now, is for you to be true to me, friends?”
she extended her right arm to him and smiled.
Tobias took her hands like a speed of lightning, afraid that she might change her mind.
”friends!”
he smiled widely at her and shook her hands happily.
Now, he won't promise anything. He would just do his best and make sure that he would fulfill all that he said.
She deserved to be treated as a precious gem, and he will treat her as one.

”what do you want to watch?”
he asked her, while turning the TV on.
”can we watched cartoons?”
she looked towards him, clasping both of her hands.
Tobias observed that after Maria forgave him, she become more closed to him. She never hold back when she wanted something or when she's talking to him.
She was now his Iya.
They're just finished cleaning the house. Maria insisted to let him helped her. She reasoned out that she was so bored.
Its been 2 weeks of staying here in his house, he was glad that Maria didn't talked about it.
”what cartoons?”
”spongebob”
”again?”
They were watching it everyday, if not this show, they'll watched Disney instead.
”please?”
”fine, in one condition.”
he finally gave in, he would never win over her.
”what?”
Tobias think twice before taking all his strength to talk.
”I'll call you Iya, again.”
he said, hoping she'll grant it.
Maria smile froze and looked at him, bewildered.
