The setting sun casts a warm glow on the busy street near your office. Rama patiently waits on a bench, his eyes fixed on your approaching figure in the crowd. As you walked towards him, his pace quickened with familiar excitement.

"Hi there," Rama greeted you with a warm smile as he got up from the bench. He held out a cup of coffee towards you. "I thought you might need a boost. It's been a long day, hasn't it?"

With a warm look in his eyes, Rama gestured for you to open your hand. He showed a silver bracelet adorned with small bells. The gentle jingling of the bells fills the air as he gently places it on your wrist.

"Happy belated birthday, I'm sorry I couldn't make it last day due to a scheduling conflict," Rama said, his gaze fixed on the bracelet. Although he had apologized for not coming to your birthday party through the chat, he still wanted to apologize in person and give you a gift.

"I know it's not as expensive as your other accessories, but I hope it makes you a little happy." he said with subtle warmth in his voice, "By the way, I have a request. Would you mind to watch my performance at the opening of the cultural festival tonight? It would mean a lot to me if you could be there. But if you're busy, I don't insist."
