You Are My Present
You Are My Present
Ru who had been raptly paying attention to his parents clicked a picture at just the correct moment when Alicia was slipping the ring on his finger.The click pf the camera brought both of them back to the present.Ryu looked at Ru who was now holding the photo and waiting for it to develop and then at Alicia who was about to wear her own ring.Pulling her into his lap immediately,Ryu took the ring from her hand.Picking up her left hand,he slipped on the ring onto her ring finger which already held the engagement ring.Alicia's face held a mixture of warmth and gratitude.With a small smile he placed a peck on her nose and depositing her on the couch picked up the presents in one hand and Ru who held the camera and new developed picture,in the other hand and went to their room.
In the bedroom,Ryu took the picture and gave it a glance.Happy with the picture,Ryu praised his son and picking up his wallet from the side table placed it inside the clear pocket,only to turn back and face his glaring son."That is my picture and you stole it."Ru accused.
"No, just borrowed it.What would like me to give you for borrowing it?I'd like to keep it for a while."Ru's answer was to fold his arms across his chest and stare back mutinuously.Sensing his kids mood,Ryu thought for a while and then whispered something in Ru's ears.A happy smile broke across Ru's face and he magnanimously said,"You may have it.I will click more.But do not think you can do the same in the future!"
"Of course."
With that Ryu opened the presents at full speed.After a few moments, however his expression was dreadful and grave.The boxes held a t shirt and a pair of blue jeans.The jeans was acceptable but never could he think of wearing the T shirt.Ryu Long was not very fashion conscious but this style was perfectly opposite of him.Her anticipating face and happy eyes flashe in his mind and he shook his head.He was already thinking of ways to make the T shirt go missing after today.Walking into the walk in closet,Ryu changed into the jeans which somehow fit him perfectly and grimaced at the t shirt again.He just hoped his brothers never see hm today.Pulling the t shirt over his head,Ryu looket at his reflection.The T shirt was plain black but the graffitti was somewhat embarassing.With an arrow pointing to the left,the t shirt said"I belong to this person!"
Shaking his head at his missus,Ryu thought,"Subtlety is her middle name!"
