A pair of Buddhas

I got this pottery figurine of Buddha from a friend of mine, which are a pair of Buddhas that he had owned for himself. He gave one of them to me as a gift recently. And I like this very much, but at the same time, I worry to have this in my room as I'm a bit superstition person. Usually human figure is no good, especially if someone owned it once, you shouldn't take over it. Because it contains previous person's fortunes etc. I consulted my fortuneteller, she suggested I should definitely throw it away when I move out from current place. So I'm thinking of telling this to my friend who gave me that Buddha honestly, because it's a pair thing. But I'm concern if it sounds offensive to him. Because I really appreciate that gift. If possible I want to own it for long time. I don't know how much you are religious, but what is the best option? 1) Hold the Buddha without caring. 2) Tell him what I told here and consult whether I throw it away or give it back to hi
