Miyo put the last stitch into the front of the little bag, just the right size for keeping protective charms.
It had been made with such a lovely piece of white silk. It was almost a shame to turn into a bag. Still, it would make the perfect #present for Kiyoka. He could buy anything he liked, but seemed to enjoy the little things she made him. That made her feel good, not that her work was special in any way.
She went out to where they would eat and set it by his place. It would be too embarrassing to give him something so unworthy. He would find it there, and if he disliked it he could ignore it.
She imagined him sitting down and noticing it, a grimace touching his lips, and then quietly moving the unsightly thing behind the vase of spring plum blossoms she had arranged. The silly token now out of view.
She hesitated and almost turned around to take it away. Then she steeled herself. Surely he would understand that however unworthy it was, she had made with her love.
There he was now!
She bowed as Kiyoka entered the room.
He smiled at her, and the world lit up. She was such a lucky woman.
“I cooked your favorites,” she said and hurried out of the room to fetch the food. She didn’t want to see his reaction to her gift. If it displeased him, he could hide it without worrying about hurting her.
When she returned, her husband was holding the little bag. “You made this?” he said.
Her heart trembling, she nodded.
His finger traced the words she had stitched onto its front. “And you wrote this?” He asked.
She nodded again. The trembling threatened to overtake her body. Why had she written something so trite? It would have been better to use someone else's poem.
He read it. His voice made it sound beautiful.
Morning plum
Softly blooming
Close to my heart
“Thank you,” he said. A tender smile on his lips.
He took the charms from around his neck and put them in the bag. “It’s lovely. I will keep it close to my heart.”
