Naina was wandering pillar to post with a confused face, while her mother was at a different side shopping for daily wear kurtis. Naina didn't want Sarita to know that she was here to buy a shirt for Sameer, she lied to her saying that Rudra's birthday is coming this week so she wanted to give him something nice.
She lay her eyes on one man mannequin who was wearing a decent dark blue arm-sleeve shirt. Naina imagined her Rude-Man in this piece of cloth and her eyes twinkled with excitement. She proceeded ahead to ask the shopkeeper how much this shirt will cost her when She noticed a price tag tucked against the collar, and it was indicating 999/-
"Oh, this is so expensive, but anything for him." Naina thought with a sweet smile and went to buy the shirt.
"Hello, I want that blue shirt, can I get a discount?" She asked the young boy with a polite smile.
"Yes ma'am, if you pay with a credit or debit card you'll get a 10% discount." He told her impeccably.
"And if I'll pay with cash then?" Naina queried.
"Sorry Ma'am, no special discounts on cash, but yes...I'll give you a coupon, next time agar aap, aapke friends, aapki family me se koi bhi aayega toh unhe 5% off milega har clothes pe." The young boy apprised her with a warm smile and brought out a thin printed card to give to Naina.
"Oh alright...aap log gift packing karte hai?" She asked him nervously while tapping her fingers on the classic glassy counter.
"Yes! On customer demand." He said happily.
"Any additional charges?" Naina queried.
"No Ma'am, it's free of cost." The guy replied to her with a sweet smile.
"Perfect, I'll make the payment by credit card, please wrap the shirt nicely, and attach a plain card with it," Naina ordered him in a soft voice and gave a meek smile.
"Sure! Aap payment kardo hum packing kar ke de dege, also, do you want us to write his name? Or something like Happy Birthday or Congratulations?" The young boy asked her with genuine concern, and She shook her head, took out a few folded currencies, and replied to him - "Woh main khud likh dungi. Thank You for asking, for now, keep this money as an advance payment, I'll be back soon."
"But Ma'am full payment credit card se karege tabhi aapko discount milega." He said urgently.
"Yes, I know that...I'm giving you this so that aap yeh shirt kisi ko sell na kar de, once I'll get back. I'll make the whole payment from credit card...tab fir aap yeh cash mujhe de dena." Naina explained to him with a small smile, and The boy nodded his head in acknowledgment.
She quickly rushed upstairs to locate her mother while dodging through the never-ending crowd. Naina reached the women's section where she saw Sarita talking to a lady about the size and fabric, she sighed in relief...and gingerly walked toward her Aai.
"Hi, actually aai mujhe credit card chahiye hai." She said in a low voice.
"2 min ruko, sath me chal kar payment kar dege," Sarita told her daughter with a gentle smile and engrossed herself again with the helpful lady who was showing her the latest collections of their shop.
"It's Urgent Aai." Naina requested.
"Theek hai main aati hoon." Sarita agreed, and informed the lady - "I will be back in a while, mere liye woh rush green color ki kurti side me rakh dena."
The lady nodded, and both the mother and daughter reached the men's section. Naina approaches the boy with whom she conversed some time ago, and Sarita glances around the exquisite shirts and t-shirts for the men. She smiled and said - "Prashant aur tumhare baba ke liye bhi yaha se ek do shirts le lete hai...What do you say?"
