CHAPTER 17: Wanna Shop
813 Words
I. WANT. TO. SHOP!!!!!!!!
I want to buy clothes. MYSELF.
I want too buy new books. MYSELF.
I want to go outside. MYSELF.
Yes, BY MYSELF. No mother. No aunts. No maids. But myself, so I can take a rest whenever I want to. Especially, I want to buy a manga! Figurines! A cosplay clothes!----wait! NO! NO!. I am Ariadnna...I'm a young lady. I should not humiliate myself!
Phew~ that was close. I nearly lose myself to my otaku side. Hmm. Now that I think about it....Gasp.
THIS IS DISASTER!!!!!
Yes, I can be lazy. Yes, I can be rich. Wealthy. A young lady. And just waiting for someone to marry me.
But! But!
I can't wear the cosplay clothes!!! No!!!!!!
Wait, that's not the case. What if there's no shop selling what I want, what I desire the most?!
I hurriedly shook my head, dismissing those thoughts. This place is just like what my past world is like.....just, focusing on the high society, a little bit like european middle age era. Like a parallel world. So there should be.
Well, I'm gonna ask mom to let me roam in the shopping mall on my own without someone accompanying me. Someone else may think the opposite but I really enjoy shopping on my own. I haven't experience going out with friends yet though. I got no friends in my past life. Shrug.
A lonely girl, aren't I?
But, I really enjoy being alone though, sometimes. I really need some space most of the time, to calm myself, specially. Err, just like ,uhm, meditation? Yes, just like a meditation. To control my thoughts and feelings. To stay calm most of the time.
Now then, I think it's time to ask my mom. I've been keeping myself in this house for a week already ever since graduation, just reading books. I should take a stroll.
Thinking so, I closed the book gently as I went to the study of my father.
Clack!
When I opened the door, I saw my father working with his papers and my mother in the couch with her coffee cup in table, reading some book.
Ara~? What is she doing her? I thought she's out somewhere going i-don't-know-where?
Should I go in or not?
Ha~ even though I came here to get permission to go shopping from my father.
Why does she have to be here in all of the days?!
Can I shout? Can I? Can I?
No, I can't. I learned it from my etiquette lesson.
"Young lady?"
I flinch when I heard a voice from my back. After calming down in a while, I look back with a smile.
"Mii~"
"Ah yes!"
"Ara~ why the flustered voice, Mii........chan?"
Why is she so flustered? It's not like I'm angry or anything. For her to startle me. Fufu.
"Ah, nothing!"
"Really?"
I tried to make my voice sound more gentler. And make my smile more sweet.
"...yes."
"I see. Then Mii?"
"Yes?"
"Don't follow for the day."
I'm gonna go shopping by MYSELF, so I need no attendants or maids with me. This opportunity is just right for me to give Mii a day off. Fufu.
"Eh? However --"
"Ari-chan?"
A voice cut Mii off of her rebuttal. I turn around to see my father and mother finally, noticing me, err, us.
"Gokigenyoh. Mother, Father."
""Gokigenyoh.""
I gave them a sweet smile as I remember my purpose of coming here and the problem that just arise.
How to make mother permit me for shopping alone. WITHOUT HER.
Ara-ara~ this is quiet challenging.
""????""
As they both looked at me with questions in their eyes. An idea pop out.
Fufufufu, right. I think I can do it. Even though I'll sacrifice some time of mine but I think I can make do with it. As long as I can get this day of shopping on my OWN.
"Mother, can I talk with father alone?"
"!"
"Why?!"
As my mother looks at me with shock, father giving a more questionable look, I just gave a smile without answering.
"Can I please?.....Mommy."
She'll say 'sure' for sure.
"Sure!"
I knew it. fufufu.
"Hohoho~ Ari-chan called me mommy, not mother! ohohohoho~"
Seeing my mother so delightful, I hurriedly walk to my father as he looks at me with a look of expectation.
Forgive me, father. I won't call you daddy for now.
"Father, can I go out alone?"
I whispered.
"What? Why?"
"I want to go shopping alone. So, can I?"
"Of course no--"
"I'll go golf with you next time." I hastily answered when he's about to refuse.
"You said it." He said, with happiness pasted on his face.
Fufufu. I got his pemission. Gotta go now then.
"Then see you tonight."
Looks like he forget that he wants me to call him daddy. Fufufu.
Ara-ara~ I just love my parents. fufu.
