      " I will " I placed my left hand on his hand and he holded it.

     I felt an unexplainable joy inside me.

    At last, I'm gonna spend this week with someone who understands me - I smiled to myself.

   " I welcome you to be my partner in this journey , crybaby " he smiled at me.

   Though the name made me angry at first, but now I think I like it. Hehe.

   " So, Mr. V, what's your plan?  What are we gonna do first?  " I asked him.

   " At first we're going to a mall and buying some clothes for you for our journey ".

   " Sure. I also want a sim card " and but wait ,clothes ? That's it " How did you get clothes that correctly fit my size? " I asked him amazed.

   " I asked the ahjumma to get some clothes for you. She helped me with that " he said and " What did you say?  A  SIM card ? But why? he asked.

    " Yes... I put my old SIM card in the dustbin that was near the ticket counter in the railway station " I said.

     " I really don't know what to say about you " he shrugged his shoulders.

    " What are the lovebirds doing? " ahjumma came behind us.

  " Just planning about our journey, ahjumma " he said.

  " Oh, good. By the way, can I take your wife to talk with her for a few minutes? "she asked him.

    He looked at me " Sure ".

   I went with ahjumma. I heard his voice " Aera... " . Did he just say Aera?  I looked at him. He was looking somewhere.

    Does he know Aera? Has he seen her before?  Many questions started forming in my mind.

   " That's it " ahjumma finished her lesson.

   " Oh. Okay. I understood " I said her. But I didn't listen her.

V POV : Ahh... My stupid mouth. Why do you always let me stick to such problems. I think she has noticed it.

     " Okay, your man is waiting for you there. Go. Enjoy with him " she smiled at me.

   " Hmm " I nodded at her and went to him. " So, shall we leave? " I asked him.

  " Sure " he stood from the seat.

   We left the hotel, thanking the ahjumma.

   We went to the bus stop ,getting in a bus to the town, we went to a mall.

   " Half an hour " he said to me , held my hand and took to a cloth shop.

    We went inside. I ran to the western dress section and took a pink crop top and a dark blue jean pant. Then a checkered yellow shirt and a black jean.

    With this on my hands, I returned to him.

  " That's it ".

  " What? Don't you know to select clothes? " he dragged me to the frocks and short gowns section.

   " What is he doing? " I thought to myself.

  " Here. Try this " he handed me a dark blue floral printed -long sleeve short frock and a plain red - fit sized short frock.

    I took them from his hands and went to the trail room.

   When I came out " Ahjumma, please take those dresses to the bill counter " he said to the ahjumma standing nearby us.
