Chapter 7: Khatoon’s dilemma.

Both of them sitting in the café after their orders arrived started talking about the trends and the clothing that they would buy.

So, what type of clothes would you get?

I am not sure, whatever Milady chooses.

Huh? You don't even know what you want?

No, I only have sleeping and work clothes. Also, I rarely go for shopping.

Then what do you do when you have to go out like this?

I take the clothes of my friend. Since we live in the same house sometimes I take his clothes. Even the clothes that I am wearing are his.

He seems like a really good friend.

Yes, he has done a lot for me.

What is his name?

His name is Johan, Johan Goldsmith.

Oh, is he a jewelry shop owner?

Although his family is he took a different path of work. He is my boss.

I see. You two seem very close.

We have been together since middle school. Things happened with my family, so I was raised in the Goldsmith family because Johan preached for me.

Then he is like a family to you.

Yes, I am grateful for the things he has done for me.

Okay, back to our greatest issue. What type of clothes do you like?

Said the lady while making a serious expression and putting his hands together.

It seems to be a big issue.

Of course, it is. We are here to also buy clothes for you, but we don't even know where to start. It's like a hungry wolf not knowing where the prey is.

But is it that serious?

Listen, sir, never underestimate the width of a mall as you should never underestimate the hard choosing of a woman.

I never knew.

Have you never been on a shopping date with your girlfriend?

Although I have gone on many shopping dates, it was not with a girlfriend. It was with my previous sugar mommies.

Then you should know what you want right?

No, they would always choose for me, and I also went along with that.

I see why you don't have anything you want. But this time you have to give your opinion as well. I can't let you stay like that.

I will try my best.

Good, that's the spirit.

After finishing their food both of them went to buy clothes for David. It took half an hour of looking around and seeing different styles, but David couldn't pick anything fashionable and good. The lady makes a long Sigh and says:

Really. Can't you pick some good clothes?

I am trying but whatever I choose you don't like it.

That is because none of the things chosen match. Or they look too stiff as if they are for work.

But I don't know what else to choose.

Okay, that's it. I will show you some clothes and you give them a try then tell me your opinion of them and if you like them or not.

Okay, that sounds good.

The Lady closes her face to David's and looks deep into his eyes.

What?

Are you sure you are not trying to slack off and make me do all the shopping?

No, I have no such intentions. I just don't know what is good.

Okay, I will take your word.

Then the lady starts moving toward a men's clothing shop.

Let's see. Try this.

David goes to the changing room and puts on the clothes. When he comes out the lady says:

So, how is it? Do you think it's stylish?

Yes, it looks good.

The lady puts his hand on his mouth and says:

So, you really don't know about fashion.

Why?

Khatoon looks at David up to down and says:

Because no one wears that combination of colors. They don't match.

Huh? Then why did you pick them?

I had to make sure you were not slacking off.

I see, but what if I was acting?

That is not easy. You can't fool my eyes. You looked like a kid who wears whatever their parents give them to wear. Which looked cute.

The lady chuckles with a satisfied expression.

Milady, please stop teasing me.

Okay, so, now let's start the real shopping.

After that they lady picks a few clothes for David to try and as he wears them the clothes that match David become clearer. After trying a few clothes and other shops finally their shopping comes to an end. When they step out of the mall the sky has turned dark.

What time is it?

The lady asks hastily.

It is 7:34.

It's that late already? I should go home then.

Let me help you with the bags then.

The lady looks at David with a confused face. Then David says:

I will accompany you to home. It's dark and dangerous also the bags are heavy.

Then I will appreciate it. But I will warn you.

From what?

Asks David with a frightened face.

Our house is far. Around 40-minute walk.

That is far. What about taking a bus?

Well, the nearest bus stop is 50 minutes away so walking would be faster.

It sounds better for us to walk then.

Yes, it does.

Says the lady with a grin.

Why the grin? is there a secret agenda?

No, nothing. Hehe.
