Author's POV
"Surbhi how's this?" Minakshi asked while showing her a saree.
"Very pretty. Just like you." Surbhi said with a smile.
"Really. Then I will take it." Minakshi said .
"By the way Aunty how much is this?" Surbhi asked.
"40 thousands." Minakshi casually said.
Surbhi eyes widened.
"Ha-ha you are joking right aunty?" Surbhi asked.
"No Surbhi it's really that cheap." Minakshi said while admiring the saree.
"Itne mai toh 200 sariyan le aau mai local shop se." Surbhi thought.
"Ji aunty. It's very cheap." Surbhi said while laughing nervously.
"Maa Can I take this jutti(shoes)?" Disha said while coming toward Surbhi and Minakshi with a shoe in her hands.
"Of course you can. No need to ask." Minakshi said and turned around to see other sarees.
"Babes tell me how's these?" Disha asked while pointing towards the shoes.
"They are so beautiful." Surbhi said.
"I know right. They are selling good things at very cheap price." Disha said casually.
"Che-ap? How much is this by the way?" Surbhi asked.
"20k only." Disha said.
"20k!??? Disha I am telling you they are making us fool. I can bring you the same jutti under 500 rupees." Surbhi said.
"What are you talking about Surbhi?" Disha said in confusion.
"Nothing." Surbhi said.
"Sach kehte hai log. Ye bare log hote bare bhole hai. Enhe koi bhi loot ke chale jyega." Surbhi thought.
(People were right. Rich people are naive. Anyone can fool them.)
"Surbhi see this!" Minakshi said. Surbhi came out of her imagination.
"It's nice." Surbhi said looking at the saree in Minakshi's hand.
"Then I will wear it on Ekansh marriage." Minakshi said with a smile.
"Surbhi see how am I looking?" Disha said while spinning around showing Surbhi her lehnga.
"Aww very pretty." Surbhi said while giving Disha a flying kiss.
"Let me take a picture of my pretty lady." Surbhi said while taking out her phone. She clicked pictures of Disha.
"Why don't you try some lehnga?" Disha asked.
"Me? Nah I am fine." Surbhi said.
"Please Surbhi." Disha said and pouted.
"Dishu these lehnga are not my types." Surbhi said.
"What's your type then?" Ekansh asked from behind.
Surbhi and Disha turned around.
"Ms.Sharma I don't have much time to waste. So chose quickly." Ekansh said.
"First time I am agreeing with him. Please Surbhi try one." Disha said while showing her puppy eyes.
"Oh-hk." Surbhi said.
.
.
.
"Babes try this one." Disha said while taking out a lehnga.
"Umm.. Are you sure it will fit me?" Surbhi asked.
Disha frowned at her question.
"Why it won't fit you?" Disha asked.
"Hehe I was just asking." Surbhi said.
"Ok now go and try." Disha said while dragging her near the changing room.
Surbhi entered the room and closed the door.
"I can't try this. I will ruin this dress if it won't fit me. And I don't have money to pay for this either." Surbhi said while staring at the lehnga.
"No no I won't try this." She said.
She grabbed that lehnga and came out of the room.
Disha was standing there.
"Disha please understand it won't fit me. I am too fat for this dress. And this is also very expensive. Please try to understand." Surbhi said in a calm voice.
Surbhi was getting anxious again because of her body image idea about herself. She believed that she is fat and ugly. Because everyone around her said so. Nah no to this Surbhi but too that kid who lost herself in their judgement, to the kid who starve herself for days just to become skinny, to the kid who was bullied for her brown skin tone and acne, who was convinced that love is not for her.
"Who told you this shitty thing? Who told you that you are fat? You are literally perfect. You are the most beautiful and kindest soul I have ever meet. Please don't say this about yourself." Disha said and hugged Surbhi.
"Now go and try this dress. And put that shitty thoughts out. I dare you to disrespect my best friend once again." Disha said.
Surbhi smiled a little and nodded.
After 5 minutes Surbhi came out of the changing room..
"OH MY GOD." Disha shouted.
Ekansh who was talking on the call at some distance ran after hearing her voice.
"See told ya My bestie is prettiest." Disha said and grabbed Surbhi's both hand.
Ekansh came and saw Disha and Surbhi. He was relieved that nothing happened to Disha.
"Now go and stand there. I will click a photo of you." Disha said.
"Please don't." Surbhi said.
"What please.??" Disha asked.
"Photo. I don't like clicking photo." Surbhi said while looking down.
"But I like capturing beautiful things on my camera." Disha said.
"Disha please." Surbhi was pleading but Disha was dragging her.
"No please. Now stand here." Disha said.
Disha stand at some distance and took out her phone.
"Smile beautiful lady." Disha said.
Surbhi smiled.
Disha clicked her photos.
"See how beautiful I click?" Disha said showing Surbhi the photos.
Surbhi smiled as it was the first time she was clicked not clicking.
"Thank you. For photos and for being my friend." Surbhi said and hugged Disha.
"Don't make me emotional. My makeup will spoil." Disha hugged her back.
Ekansh was watching all this. A small smile formed on his lips.
They broke the hug.
"Ekansh bhai come here please." Disha said when she saw Ekansh standing there.
Ekansh went near them.
"See Surbhi is looking beautiful isn't it?" Disha asked.
Surbhi was looking down.
Ekansh stared at her. 'Beautiful.' Words slipped from his mouth.
Surbhi suddenly lifted her head after hearing his statement.
"See told ya." Disha said and laughed.
"Anyways let's go." Ekansh said after he realized what he just said. He was shocked himself.
"I will change this and come." Surbhi said.
"Why will you?" Disha asked.
"I didn't like it that much." Surbhi said.
"Ok if it that you want."Disha said.
" Let's go." Ekansh said and they all went toward cashier where Minakshi was also present.
Ekansh payed . And they all went outside.
"Good night Surbhi beta." Minakshi said.
"Good night aunty." Surbhi replied.
"Good night babes." Disha said.
"Good night Dishu." Surbhi said.
"Wait Surbhi. It's late. How will you go?" Disha asked and smirked internally.
"By Auto." Surbhi said casually.
"But it's not safe." Disha said again.
"Only thing that is not safe is my money." Surbhi said.
"Huh?" Disha said.
"Yes nowadays auto drivers take 50 rupees. This is loot." Surbhi said.
"Ekansh bhai will drop her. He is going that way so." Disha said and Surbhi looked at her direction.
"Good idea Disha. Ekansh will drop you Surbhi." Minakshi said.
"But-" Surbhi was saying but Ekansh cut her off.
"Let's Go Ms.Sharma." Ekansh said and went toward his car.
Disha just nodded and went with him.
.
.
.
Ekansh and Surbhi were in the car. The whole ride was silent. No one spoke a word.
After 15 minutes of ride Ekansh reached Surbhi's house.
"Good night sir." Surbhi said and get off the car.
Ekansh just nodded in response and drove off to his mansion.
