I did not specify a date for this blog as it was meant to be a reflection of my feelings. I titled this blog ‘LOTR’ not because I liked the movie but because it means ‘Lost Of The Ring’.
This is the 2nd time wifey’s ring disappeared mysteriously and both times, only MIL is at home. Wifey had told me nothing like this happened before to any of his rings except for ours. This is most probably because of the engraving on the inside of the ring. I had my ring engraved ‘Shaari - Roger' while I had wife's ring engraved ‘Roger - Shaari'.
Two questions were always being asked by people or my friends who saw my ring. After the lost of the ring the second time, wifey asked me the same question (Question 1) as well. Wifey felt that if there is no engraving, MIL would not have taken away the ring and we can avoid spending unnecessary money to replace the disappeared ring. Below I gave the reasons for the two questions asked by people and sometimes wifey.
1. Why must I have the ring engraved?
Engraving inside the ring is to remind both wifey and myself that we belong to each other and we are exclusive only to each other. Anyone can buy the same ring but they would not have the same engraving. When we engrave each other's name inside the ring, our rings become different and special. Even when we walked on the streets and see other people wearing the same ring, we know they are not related to us as our rings are specially engraved with each others' names. That is why I insisted on engraving even though the process is tedious and costly.
2. Why must my ring be 'Shaari - Roger' and wifey's ring be 'Roger - Shaari'?
The engraving is done is such a way to remind ourselves that we now have someone else in our life that we should care for. When I looked at my ring saying ‘Shaari - Roger’ I will remind myself that I am now married to a wonderful man who I proclaimed as my wifey. I should do my best to provide for him and also be considerate for his feelings whenever I do something or said something. His name comes before mine is to remind me that I should do my best to put him as top priority and put myself after him. Only unselfish love can last and I want our love and marriage to last forever. Vice-versa when I do the engraving for his ring, putting my name before his.
Losing of the ring for the 2nd time really frustrates me. This year, my bonus and pay has almost used up because of my commitment and insurance as well as the KL trip. Getting another same ring and having it engraved is really out of my budget and I am really lost. Wifey is also low on cash and till now we have not decided what to do yet. I badly wanted wifey to have the ring and wear it again wherever he goes and whenever we go out together. I hoped wifey can try his best to locate his ring when MIL is out of the house, provided that Mil did not throw the ring away but just hide it somewhere.
“Wifey Shaari, I Love You.”
“I will save up and get you the same ring soon.”
“I promise you this.”
