The diamond necklace on the mannequin looked familiar. She placed her palm on the window that separated them and leaned in closer the necklace was glistening and emanating the rays of preciousness & high dispersion....Sanathombi, sighed & thought to herself that....."It's not for the unemployed like me after all..... who get embroiled in all sorts of ' Blood Diamond ' obstacles".
and then leaned further attracted by the round cut diamonds orchestrated together in an intricate pattern...magnificent beautiful studded diamond honouring the ethereally apparelled mannequin portraying her as "Damsel of Magnificence "!
As if very much alive, it seemed as if she would speak any moment, "Hi spectators,what you think about me? Well! I am the most beautiful that's why I am adorning this diamond, this ornament deserves a beauty like me," Sanathombi giggled at her dreamy thoughts & looked around for her cousin while Suchistra had already graced in, marvelling at an aesthetic dress ..... Sanathombi also followed into a highly decked up showroom & scorned - "Sushi, you carefree girl I have been looking for you around!"Sushitra chukled, "I told you I am gracing in but you were in your dreamy jewellery designer world, let me tell you something this is the best showroom of Tripura it belongs to a Fashion Analyst with all costly couture and fancy jewels around you can marvel...!
Sanathombi replied - "Wow, but for a moment leave all this and come let's have a closer look at this necklace there. It seems somewhat familiar"... With this she directed Sushitra near the mannequin, once near Sanathombi & Sushitra marvelled at this wonderfully faceted necklace and then Sushitra - squealed" it looks familiar, and almost like the same design which you crafted three years back as a jewellery designer, working for "Salai " in Mizoram ".. ..
Sushitra turned towards Sanathombi who was reminiscing but seemed amused & at the same time excited .....to know more about the diamond necklace's origin..
Sanathombi looked up and said, "maybe if it's my work, which was very well selected by Mizoram's Salai owners then I am indeed glad, let's find out,"..................

The owner of the showroom was indeed glad to meet the jewellery designer, When Sushitra and Sanathombi had questioned he had confirmed from his register and telephone call to 'Salai'.
Necklace was launched by Salai and was credited to some designer Sanathombi for which the lump sum was ready to be directed to Sanathombi Wangkhem's house in North district of Tripura, Jampui Hills.....
A necklace embellished with love and hours of dedication and that's why it was so familiar, tears of joy had streaked out and Sanathombi had hugged Sushitra and they both Squealed in joy, after diffusion of this happy news.....the showroom owner had shown them, the engraved name of designer in it 'Sanathombi Wangkhem'( with a magnifying glass) & had invited both the girls to have an interview regarding the work experience as a jewellery designer, as he being a fashion analyst was looking forward to prepare an article, as well as an autograph was requested to which both the girls ecstatically agreed ....after hours of long conversation filled with refreshments,
On the way to home Sushitra, declared "we really need a good family get together to celebrate my gold hearted, hardworking cousin's achievement....I am a proud sister, must say,...of a brilliant & extremely talented jewellery designer and a very virtuous person...so my dear sister Sanathombi ..you shouldn't be doubting your capabilities it was just evil recession that crept up in everyone's life, world around, see many like you & me have lost their jobs but when one door closes other obviously opens ...... You are qualified and talented and you can very much start afresh with your own showroom and website, and I suggest for website making, your cryptologist -ever willing- to help sister obviously none other than me can design it for you...leave this upto me, Sanathombi carefully hearing this,gladly accepted this idea ..with this Sushitra squeezed Sanathombi's hand.... and said
hurry up we should inform this at home,
I am so excited to see their delighted faces .
Sushitra sped off confident & happy, while overjoyed Sanathombi.... pacing up, chirped....ambitions, goals, carriers are important but 'Company' of beautiful people, beautiful family and family outside family is important..... So dear, it's because of your support, I have always looked up to you and found you as an encouraging sister. I was able to garner such a nice project because you were the one to have faith in me, although with 'Exported Blood Diamond' obstacle ( which the company decided to buy from Africa, where children and many others mine it out or are forced to mine and most of it is mined from zones of turmoil of political fallout and so on) I was the one to loose hope but you were the one to instill confidence in me, My lovely graceful cousin, Sushitra lots of love and kisses to you, come lets rush up home!
