"A-and?" stammered Mahira.
"Nothing ..it's just you wear it better" said Ayesha doubtful of Mahira's reactions.
"You must be kidding me. She would be looking like a queen" . It was not the first time Mahira brought herself down to appreciate someone else. She did it so often that people thought it was a part of her personality.
"You have self-esteem issues you know?" Ayesha said, "That girl walked as if she owned the world. I hate that kind of girls"

While Ayesha was badmouthing the girl Mahira found herself wondering if being confident in her own skin is a good thing or not.

"I guess when you have low self-esteem you avoid getting attention hence, you never get bad mouthed" Mahira said inattentively , looking towards the table with two teenage boys bragging about some video game scores.
Ayesha was suddenly hit by a brick of realisation "No! That's not what I meant!!"
"I meant to say she was over-confident which is bad ..you -no- everyone should be confident in their skin. No one should belittle themselves-"
"It's ok" Mahira said finally.

"I think we should go to the shopping complex and get what you wanted" Mahira said after a few seconds.
Ayesha's eyes lit up "Yeah! Let's go ! I really need that leather jacket . I have been waiting for it's price to drop down since months and finally the day has come! Although I had to beg my mum for some money but still I'm so excited!"
"Sure ! Let's get your jacket and leave as soon as possible. I need to go over Anisha's place today" Mahira said disposing  her coffee paper cup in the recycling bin.
"Why? Is something wrong with her?" asked Ayesha scrolling through her gallery searching for the picture of the leather jacket she had taken secretly.
"She fought with her guy again" said Mahira.
"You mean her boyfriend?" Ayesha asked looking at Mahira as they entered the clothing store.
"He isn't her boy-" Mahira exclaimed.
"We all know he is. Why are u still in a denial Mahira?"Ayesha interrupted .
Mahira knew that Anisha in love with "her guy" but it was embarrassing to admit for some reason that her good friend was dating to the point the couple could be referred as boyfriend-girlfriend.
"Sure" Mahira mumbled in annoyance.
Her reaction made Ayesha chuckle.Mahira sure was conservative with stuff like dating but she did believe in love ...a little too much...an unhealthy amount.

After 15 minutes of searching they finally found Ayesha's most aspired leather jacket.
Good news she found it as it was the last piece in stock .
Bad news the mustard-top-girl had her hands on it the same time as Ayesha.
