Flushed and panicked,
her steps quickened.
She swiftly swerved round the corner.
Headed straight to the counter.
With wisps of short breaths,
she said with a muffled voice,
"Did you see..a...?"

My ears are seemingly ultra sensitive.
I caught wind of it.
As i looked up,
i saw kha gestured towards me,
"Joc..."

She almost scampered over to me...
I got my bum off the seat,
lifted my apron,
fumbling really hard,
realising that my fingers were a lil plump to fit into that tiny side pocket in my jeans.

Her husband, or maybe fiancé,
came alongside.
Looking a lil irritated,
i assumed she must have spent their evening crying and wailing to him,
frantically searching for the very thing that she held so dear to her heart.

Her eyes fixated on me,
scrutinising every part of me where her precious may be.
Almost as if i was performing magic,
i pulled it out.
'cept i didn't say "TA-DA!"
Holding it out with my thumbs and index fingers from both hands,
almost as if i was proposing,
I said with a wide grin,
"Here you go."

I could almost see the tears oozing out from her tear glands.
She was overwhelmed.
While holding it so closely to her heart,
I could hear her voice breaking,
"It's...it's my proposal ring.. Thank you..Thank you Jocelyn."

Her husband/fiancé was relieved at last,
smiling to me, he asked,
"You're Jocelyn ya?"
"Ya.. Hey, no worries about it ya?
You left it on the table,
i wanted to contact the credit card company to reach you,
but i'm glad you came back for it."

His wife/fianceé kept thanking me profusely,
and i just kept assuring that it's really alright.
With much gratitude,
they left.
To a night filled with thankfulness,
i believe.

Nelle and i were sharing.
Well, what if she had really lost the ring?
Did it mean that that may signify the end of their relationship?
Well,
tung and nelle concluded that if that ring was of much importance to her,
why did she even take it off in the first place?
Well,
i'll never know.

11.39pm.
Shutters were down,
everyone was relaxing on the chairs and cushioned seats,
when the silhouette of a couple appeared.
Not ghostly,
just unfamiliar.
Wondering whose friends they were,
i approached them.

"Hey, did you see a wallet that i left behind?"
"Er...where did you sit, sir?"
Pointing,
"There. The seat there."
It was kha again.
He went like,
"Ooh Ooh Ooh...the wallet..."
Roy came to the rescue!
"There, up there in a plastic bag."
Nelle fumbled for it on the upper shelf.

Innocently,
he received his wallet,
with thankfulness.
Roy said,
"You dropped it.
I found it on the floor,
behind the chair."
"Ooh.. i dropped it huh...
thanks...thanks..."

After they left,
kha added,
"Wow. Tonight's a lost and found night huh?"
I giggled.
Smiling in my heart,
i won't deny tonight is one of my most touching nights.
Things that seemingly were lost,
were found.
SADDED to JOY-DED.

Hey bing,
somehow tonight's incidents reminded me of the boy.
The boy who was told of the secret to happiness.
I felt a lesson learnt.

[Hey thanks for being w me.
U gave me courage.]
Hey,
I smiled foolishly in front of this screen the minute i saw it.
You touched my heart,
no doubt.
