The afternoon was quiet as Rhea dragged Sia around the city. After a morning full of what Sia couldn’t explain, she ditched the Casanova who had gone back to his work and decided to go on a mission with the hope of finding something that would make Emiliano happy. Rhea immediately volunteered to go with Sia together with Mario who was acting as their driver however he regretted the entire thing because the two ladies were moving from one mall to another without getting tired.
“I’m sure he will love this… look sia it’s a Gold wrist watch new model and I think the collection just came in”Rhea said in a cheerful voice as she showed sia a box of a male gold watch and at first glance sia knew it costed a fortune and according to the lady showing them the accessories, the watch was one of its kind.
“Yes madam buy this one, and I’m sure your husband will like it very much”the sales lady added with a smile as she took out more small boxes of different watches that were nice and knew men with class loved such things, but she wasn’t sure if Emiliano would like any of them.
“They are all nice… but Rhea the man has tons of these… even more expensive than this”Sia replied in a low tone as she scanned the watch Rhea gave her and frowned. She had gone through everything Emiliano owned and nothing could compare to what she was seeing, from the designer expensive clothes to his shoes and every wristwatch he had screamed priceless and designed by famous designer from all over the world, so she had doubts materials things would make the man happy.
“Maybe clothes will, let’s go to the men boutique downstairs”Rhea said with happiness and dragged Sia out of the store leaving Mario sitting there busy on his phone and when he looked up and found the women gone, he sighed and rose to his feet.
“Pack three wristwatches for me, charge from this”he said to the sales lady and walked out of the store. It was a bad idea saying yes to the women because they could shop for the entire world.
“This! Sia now look at this shirt its fab”Rhea was a happy freak as she showed sia so many clothes saying they were perfect for Emiliano but sia didn’t think so because again no material things would make the man happy.
“Wow, I guess Emiliano’s has gotten you worked up sia… just wow”Mario said nonchalantly as he looked in the high-class clothes store for a chair, spotted one and sat like a boss and focused on his phone.
“His Birthday?”both Sia and Rhea asked at the same time looking at Mario, and he raised his brow at them.
“Yeah… isn’t it why you are stressing yourself looking for the man’s birthday gift”he asked with a frown and sia was utterly confused and surprised at the same time, it was his birthday why didn’t he tell me.
“I was unaware that, when is it?”she asked and Mario frowned while Rhea smiled like a fool as she scooped close to Mario.
“Really? So, when he told sia that he was in a bad mood, he meant…”
“He wanted her to get something special for him on his weird birthday because the man hated his birthday… oh well, I think the love he has for sia has changed him”he blurred out without a care not knowing that sia and Rhea had their eyes widened in shock staring at Mario and when he looked up, he nearly fell off the chair seeing the weird looks both ladies had.
“L… love her? do you mean the Casanova love Sia?” Rhea was the one who asked because sia had zoomed off hearing what crazy careless Mario had just said, did Emiliano really love her. She knew he cared for her but did he really feel locked for her, if so, then why hasn’t he could fess yet or better yet told her about it or was Mario making things up.
“Well… no..? I meant he cares for her, and hence he’s expecting a birthday present from his wife hahaha”Mario said nervously with a chuckle and Rhea glared at her while Sia lowered her gaze and walked around the store looking at the different men’s clothes. Mario stared at her retreating form and felt bad. Yes, he was certain Emiliano had changed since he married Sia, in the past he used to be irresponsible, but now he was a changed person and actually cared about someone in his life. The way he treated sia was so different from how he used to treat Tara and Mario knew what Emiliano felt for sia was our live not just any love, but he couldn’t picture his life without sia and that was a solid fact.
“Tell me, does he…” Rhea whispered and Mario nodded helplessly.
“I think he’s scared to admit his feelings Rhea, he still feels insecure sia might do the same to him… you know like Tara did”it was clear as day and Tara’s actions in the past had left Emiliano shattered and actually falling for his first lover’s sister he feared they were just the same but sia was different from Tara in so many ways.
“Sia isn’t like that, you know she has never been in love since we were kids, sia is a dreamer she believes in fairy tales and prince charming and now I’m sure she thinks Emiliano is her prince charming”Rhea said in a hushed tone, everyone who saw sia at first sight would think she was arrogant and spoiled, but that wasn’t the case, Sia hated getting involved with random men in the past because she believed her body and heart only belonged to the one she would fall in love with and since high school she never accepted any man who proposed to her and now the thing with Emiliano happened, and she developed some feelings for him.
“Yes I know that’s why you and I made sure she got reunited with him”Mario remarked, he was the one who actually told sia to trap Emiliano and his motive was for the two to be together because he felt they deserved each other.
“Let’s go, there’s nothing here”Sia came and the two who were talking in hushed tones smiled at her and watched as she headed to the exit door and both sighed in relief and followed her.

“Tell me sia… what happened to you this morning for you to suggest shopping”Rhea asked as now they were sitting at a fast food restaurant having something to eat since they had along day and immediately Rhea asked her something she was fighting hard to keep out of her mind, sia choked on her food getting people’s attention as Mario got desperate and rushed to her side.
“Hey… breathe, relax and have this”Mario said as he patted her on the back to calm her down and sia took the water from him and drank half of it only then did she feel better.
“Are you okay?”rhea asked with concern and sia nodded, of course she preferred not to stay at home after what Emiliano did, she was having a good day swimming and the man came out of nowhere saying he too had the same idea before her. She would have been labeled as a loose woman if she went and gave in to Emiliano, but she proved to him that she didn’t want him just so he could make love to her, and hence she did stay and enjoyed her day with him like a normal couple and once again Emiliano proved he wasn’t just attracted to her physical appearance but her as a whole, and she was happy about it
“I’m fine, let’s eat”she said and Mario together with Rhea observed her for a while but dropped all thoughts they had and they started chatting like before with sia keeping in mind that she had a birthday present to find for her husband but what?
