Lily extended her hand with a polite smile. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Pedro, she said warmly.

Pedro smiled in return, but as his eyes landed on her bracelet, his expression froze. Without warning, he reached out and grabbed her hand, his attention fixed entirely on the piece of jewelry.

Startled by his sudden action, Lily frowned. “Mr. Pedro, is something wrong?” she asked, her voice tinged with concert.

Pedro didn’t respond right away. His gaze remained glued to the bracelet as though lost in deep thought. The silence stretched on, leaving Lily confused. She gently shook his arm to get his attention. “Mr. Pedro? Are you alright?”

Snapping out of his daze, Pedro blinked a few times and finally looked up at her. “T… I’m sorry,” he said, his tone soft and apologetic. “I didn’t mean to startle you. But this bracelet.. is it yours?”

Lily gave a small nod, smiling slightly. “Yes, it is.”

“Are you absolutely sure?” he asked again, his voice filled with a mix of curiosity and hesitation.

“Yes, Mr. Pedro. This bracelet has been with me since I was born,” she replied, puzzled. “Why? Is there something special about it? You seem a bit emotional.”

Pedro’s lips curved into a faint smile. “It just reminded me of someone,” he said quietly. “Someone who had a bracelet just like this one.”

“Oh, I see,” Lily said, nodding slowly. After a brief pause, she hesitated before asking, “Mr. Pedro, would you mind dropping me home? I… I don’t have any other way to get back.”

“Of course! I’d be happy to,” Pedro agreed quickly. The two began walking toward his car, which was parked a little farther down the road.

As they walked, Pedro followed a step behind her, his mind racing. A faint smile lingered on his face. He couldn’t believe the twist of fate that had brought them together. Of all days, it had to be today–his father’s death anniversary. He had been visiting his father’s grave, which was in the quiet outskirts of the city. On his way back, he had stumbled upon a disturbing scene: a group of men dragging a girl.
