"We're going to the mall." Ziva excitedly said when Zoya gave the address to the cab driver.
Sehrish clapped her hands and went, "Yippee."
The three sisters had gotten dressed just after breakfast to leave along with Sehrish. Zoya tried to convince her father to come as well, but he refused politely. Kausar also obviously said no.
After reaching the mall, Zoya brought them to the Apple Store.
"Good morning, ma'am. How can I help you?" A salesman came forward.
"Hi," Zoya smiled, "We're looking for the latest collection of the iPhones."
The salesman guided them towards the phone section and brought out the latest iPhone 14. He described the features to Zoya.
"Do you like it?" Zoya turned to ask Zaina, taking her aback.
"What?"
"We're buying it for you, so you must like it. Or else, we can look for other options." Zoya said.
"Aapi," Zaina gasped, which Zoya ignored and put the phone in her hand. "Use it and tell me."
Zaina stared at the exquisite beauty in her hands. Never in her dreams she had imagined that she'd be holding such a luxurious phone. "Aapi, I can't take it. This must be so costly."
"As my younger sister, it is not your job to worry about the price." Zoya told her and then turned to the salesman, "Show us all the available color options."
All the options were laid in front of them, and Zaina chose the purple one. After that, Zoya took Ziva to the iPad section and made her select one as well. Ziva was still in college, and it would be useful for her to make notes.
At the billing counter, Zoya pulled out her credit card to pay the bill and handed both the sisters their respective shopping bags.
After that, they all roamed around the mall and shopped for a few dresses. Zoya also bought a really cute frock for Sehrish, which made the little girl jump up and down with joy. After all, it was in her favorite color, pink.
As lunch time neared, they left the mall and took a cab to a restaurant. When Ziva opened the menu at the restaurant, her eyes widened in surprise. Zoya had a knowing smile on her face as Ziva lunged forward to hug her, squishing Sehrish in the middle.
