The Necklace
It was a beautiful necklace. More beautiful, since it was a gift from her husband. But, Nalini had not put it on even once. She desired certain changes. Though everyone who saw the necklace, found it to be exquisite, she was not satisfied. The necklace consisted of shiny black pearls, the central piece was oval in shape and bigger than the rest. The smaller pearls were octagonal and linked to each other with golden rods. Initially, she got the golden links changed with silver ones. But even that did not look good enough. Next, she got the central black pearl replaced with a white one but that also did not fit aptly. Finally, she got it back to its original design. But she pondered continuously on how to get it into an ideal shape. The necklace was presented to her ten years back. Nalini Mahadevan was a housewife. And Rupesh was a successful businessman. He had seen her at a family marriage function and it was love at first sight. But the delicacies of this love withered soon
