Earrings with a story

by Oksana Petrovska (Ukraine)

I didn't expect to find Germany

The start of a happy day was delayed like Christmas before. The start of a happy day was delayed like Christmas never before. These thoughts were stirred up by my friend's text message: - Hi how are you? - All right, I'm going on a vacation and I don't know yet what I'm doing. Maybe I'll go somewhere to relax a little. - Do you want to go to Nuremberg for Christmas? There are cheap tickets! The feeling of emptiness, boredom has given way to a feeling of total fun and joy. I wanted to talk, laugh, see new people. I started to feel the fullness of life, almost happiness! - Oh, I want! - Let's go? - Yes! - Then I'll check everything again and write to you immediately. - Can you really go with me? - I still couldn't believe it. - If you have nothing against it! So, in 4 minutes everything was done and a happy day began. It even seemed to me that I had found the fifth dimension in this decision. The next day after we arrived we went for a walk through the old town. We were interested in everything. While walking, the fabulous decoration of the entrance to the beautiful half-timbered house from the 16th century caught our attention. Nice forged table and chairs. There is a Christmas bouquet on the table. The window above the table is fairy decorated with lights. When we wanted to take a few photos, the door opened. A woman came out and carefully apologized for distracting us. She lit a big candle for us. We talked a bit and she offered to come in and keep warm. When we took pictures, we didn't immediately notice that it was an antique shop. Old mysterious magic was in the air. It seemed like something incredible, magical was going to happen. I was attracted by earrings among all the jewelry, and it felt like they were enveloping me with an aura of somber vision from the future. It seemed like I was seeing a face, but at the last moment the vision disappeared. I shook my head and dispelled the obsession. And then I heard Gisela: - I'll show you these earrings. I took earrings in my hands and felt a warm tremor run through my body. It became clear to me that they chose me on a certain mental level and one should not part with such narrow things. When she saw my interest, Gisela naturally offered a good discount for Christmas. I agreed. To keep warm, Gisela suggested drinking local liquor. I inhaled the aroma and was about to drink it .. - Oh no, how could that happen ?! - cried Gisela - I'm so sorry, but an earring is broken! Gisela polished the earrings with a napkin. - It is good that this has happened now. I was a little confused. Broken earring is very difficult to repair because many stones can deteriorate when heated. Not every master will commit to repairing them. We have agreed that master antiques can do this work in their workshop. Our hotel was in the heart of the Christmas market. We decided ordered mulled wine in street cafe. Loud company at the next table could not calm down and took care of themselves. While we joking about it, we had a fun conversation with mens near to us. Sami and Bruno. It felt like we knew each other before, but where from?! And then I remembered a vision in the antique shop. After all, the silhouette was one of the men in this vision! And that's not the fault of mulled wine. We haven't even had a drink. Strange. Later the four of us went through the old town of Nuremberg and shortly afterwards we split up after the phone exchange. Tomorrow we should fly back home. I kept communicating with Sami throughout the month. He decided to come to my city. My surprise knew no bounds when Sami, oh gods, gave a small box at the meeting. I saw antique 18th century English silver earrings, same! Those who enchanted me in a shop! Now we are happy together with our acquaintance, our love, because on Christmas Eve these earrings brought us together with incredible magic.
