As the first light of dawn crept through the curtains, Naina stirred from her slumber. With a stretch and a yawn, she descended to the kitchen, where Neha was already bustling about. Together, they embarked on a culinary adventure, whipping up a sumptuous breakfast. The aroma of spices and the clatter of utensils filled the air, setting a cheerful tone for the day ahead. Naina, with a radiant smile that seemed to brighten the room, caught Neha's attention.
Curious, Neha inquired, "What's got you in such high spirits today? You seem exceptionally joyful."
Naina, still beaming, replied, "Oh, it's nothing out of the ordinary. Reyansh has entrusted me with his credit card, granting me carte blanche to indulge in a shopping spree."
Neha, taken aback, exclaimed, "Really? Raman handed me his card too, but with a stern instruction to exercise financial prudence."
Naina chuckled, "Well, that's because he's well aware of your penchant for shopping, whereas Reyansh knows I'm more restrained in my retail pursuits."
Imitating Naina's earlier enthusiasm, Neha rolled her eyes playfully. As the rest of the household gathered, the duo served up the hearty breakfast they had prepared. Seizing the moment, Naina sought permission, "Chachi, since Reyansh and I are soon off to America, I need to shop for formal attire. May I venture out with Neha?"
Before Radhika could respond, Dadi interjected, "Dear, you're free to go, but why the need for Neha's company?"
Naina explained, "Well, Dadi, her fashion sense is invaluable to me, especially since I often find myself at sea when it comes to selecting new clothes."
With a nod of approval from Dadi and an encouraging word from Radhika, Naina retreated to her room. There, she opted for a casual yet chic ensemble—a white graphic t-shirt paired with green pants, and pristine white sneakers to complete the look. She swept her hair into an effortlessly stylish messy bun, applied a touch of makeup to enhance her natural beauty, grabbed her bag and shades, and stepped out, ready to conquer the day.

At the mall, Naina and Neha navigated through the bustling corridors, their mission clear. Approaching a store attendant, Naina requested, "Could you show us a selection of formal wear?" The attendant nodded and led them through aisles of elegant attire. Naina meticulously picked out several pieces, each exuding a professional charm.
Meanwhile, Neha beckoned the attendant, "Could we also take a look at some summery short dresses?" As the attendant obliged, Naina teased, "Have you been dieting lately?"
Confused, Neha asked, "Why do you ask?"
Naina, with a hint of mischief, retorted, "Well, you're asking for Extra Small sizes, but aren't you usually a Small?"
Realization dawned on Neha, and with a facepalm, she clarified, "These dresses are for you, silly!"
Naina, taken aback, protested, "But I only intended to purchase formal wear. I have plenty of lovely short dresses at home. Why buy new ones when you can repurpose what you already have? Go ahead and pick out whatever you like; I need to focus on preparing for my upcoming presentation."
