Shopping

Next morning I woke up and found myself in a room the room was small but sweet. It had all the necessary things for staying as per Earthlings and everything seemed to be too pink but I loved it. It felt like home but for no reason.

I suddenly saw the door open and a middle aged woman entered.

She was beautiful. She was abou 5'5" in height and was wearing a red coloured frock with an apron on the top. The apron had white flowers and was looking completely beautiful on her. She didn't put on anything on her face and also had her had tied in a ponytail starting below.

I had never seen this woman so, I asked her "miss can I know who you are?"

"you can but you may not.😎"

Her voice was sweet but that answer was quite bitter.

The lady continued "Anyways, Jokes apart. I am not supposed to answer that but you are supposed to answer. Who are you?"

And suddenly something clicked and I started looking here and there. The lady was a bit confused "what are you searching girl."

"my friend Zoa."

"you were alone last night no one came with you."

"by friend I don't mean a human Earthling....."

She was staring at me with a question mark on her face. I mean like who would call a human being 'Earthling'.

"I meant it is not a human but a parrot."

"parrot??...oh yeah that parrot is really intelligent and is down helping me."

I jumped off the bed like a monkey and walked down the stairs to find Zoa helping that lady with the coffee machine.

The lady came from behind and said "I don't know if I am dreaming because this little parrot is too intelligent for being a bird."

I took a sigh as Zoa said "yes, I am indeed intelligent."

Now as I looked around I saw a very well lit and peaceful environment with colorful table and chair kept and cleaned. I looked that there was a big opening on my left side which was a open balcony where there were pit arm chairs for resting. As I went out I felt the breeze and I also saw that heavily crowded market that we went yesterday. Now I returned back to my place and saw were Zoa was working with that machine. It was so good there was a computer screen and many more equipments.

I asked the lady "what are those."

The lady was taken aback by shock and asked "oh dear lord, did you forgot everything?"

Not exactly true!!!

She continued but this time anger "wait!!!! you must have forgotten about the drinks that you drank last night. Come on settle the bills."

"what drink, miss?"

"oh so you don't remember? let me jog your memory...

Last night you came to the counter and at first you took a small shot and got drunk. How? I don't know. Then you ran yo the dance floor with one big glass and drank and danced or more of jumped. Then you came back and took a full bottle of the most expensive wine and again kept dancing with that bottle on your head. Then after all this drama you came close a boy and fainted. So , I 'the most generous lady' took you in.

So now settle your bills."

She aksed for money with hands straight out like waiting for cash or for card.

Zoa suggested "First glitch and then after we get the salary we will pay her back."

But I don't know why here I didn't feel like using the technique so, I quit and said "sorry maam actually I have recently got a job and as soon as I am paid I will pay you."

She now moved her hand and banged at the cash counter and said "do you know what am I doing?"

I moved my head to say no and her expression changed

she said "business!!! I am doing business. And I am not that mad that I will believe you."

I joined my hands and kind of begged "please, let me pay you later. please" and then I made a cute puppy face.

She said "uhhh.....okay."

"Thank you!!!"

The thing that I learned here is puppy face. The solution to every problem.

And then I asked her "right!!! can you tell me where I can get a nice house to live in."

That lady said "there are few plots here and there. You can definitely see there."

I was really happy that I atleast know where to start from.

And then she said "wait, you want a rent or buy?"

I was confused about what is rent and what is buy. I asked Zoa "Zoa what are we looking for? Rent or Buy?"

"Tell her buy."

I was satisfied and gave a smile and proudly said "I want to rent."

Then the lady said "there is nothing to be proud at that."

And suddenly she stopped chopping and said "how about you stay here?"

"stay here?"

"yes. now that you have to pay me it would be better if you stay here then I can always remind you."

"So, you can let us stay here?"

"of course, anyways the top floor is empty and I sleep on the ground floor. How about until you get your pay from the actual office you help me out and I can give you some money to settle the bills?"

"Really!!!!!"

"yes."

"omg I definitely accept this offer."

I was so happy that I got a house and also a Job. Now I have double job.

She asked me "anyways I forgot to ask you, what is your name?"

I was too excited and said "E311219...."

The lady looked at me in a weird look and asked "what???"

I realized my mistake and started laughing and said "...won't be my name would it? My name is Ari."

"what and where are you going to work?"

"Sunbay mall. As the secretary of the CEO Mr Elijah Smith."

Her eyes suddenly widened and she came infront of me and asked "E..E..Elijah Smith?"

I nodded and then she suddenly started taking rounds and moving away holding the knife in her hands and swinging hugging it. Like she was already waiting for the affirmative answers.

"What happened maam."

"You know right? who is Elijah Smith!!!"

"yeah, he is my boss."

She looked at me completely frustrated like she was wanting some other answer and said "He is the heartthrob of millions of girls." And said "don't call me maam. Call me aunt Linda. Because my name is Linda and I am kinda older than you."

She again went to work and suddenly stopped and asked "what are you going to wear on your first day to work?"

"I.....I don't know?"

"tch okay fine I will give you an advance for helping here and cut a minimum sum and let's go Shopping!!!!"

Zoa almost jumped from the machine and the machine also started

We reached to shop and I didn't at all knew what to choose and what not to. I was total confused. Aunt Linda and Zoa were suggesting me. I was a disaster when it came to shopping. I didn't hate shopping because I knew nothing about it but then I was actually a disaster even without shopping.
