Shopping

Eva was going back home from her office at 7 p.m. When she passed by a conventional store, she decided to go in and grab a few necessary household items and groceries. Suddenly, her phone started ringing.

"Hello."

"Yes, grandma?"

It was her obviously grandmother who had called her.

" Eva, I was thinking if you could sleep at home alone tonight as I am at your uncle's place and he is asserting me to stay at his home tonight. Will you be okay with it, sweetie?"

"Yeah grandma, don't worry. Give uncle and aunt greetings on my behalf."

" Sure darling but make sure you are closing all the doors and windows of the house properly and remember to sleep soon. Don't grab junk food or anything to eat from outside. I have prepared your meal and kept it in the fridge. Heat it and then eat."

"Okay grandma, I will."

"And..."

" Grandma, it's not like you'll never return."Eva interrupted in between. " Don't stress yourself out. I will take care of myself. Goodbye, have fun!"

"Okay my baby, goodbye."

Eva didn't know why but she felt something strange in her grandma's way of talking. Just then, she experienced a push from someone.

"Sorry."

"It's okay". Then, she quickly paid the bill and got back into her car. The moment she reached home, she went into her room and went for a hot shower. After that, she heated up the dish that her grandma had made and began eating it. Surely, it was utterly delicious.

After eating, she washed the dishes and headed for sleep in her bedroom. The moment her head hit the pillow, she fell asleep in a deep slumber. She woke at 10 a.m. the next day as she had an off from office. Hence, she slept for a longer time than usual. She quickly dressed up and had her breakfast.

" Tring...tring" the doorbell rung.

She headed outside and found Kristie standing outside.

"C'mon, hurry up!!"

They had decided to go on a shopping spree for their Paris-trip tomorrow. Within three hours or so, their hands were filled with bags of different brands including Zara, LV, Prada, Gucci, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana and many more.

Then they headed to Mc Donalds and ordered burgers, french fries and cold coffees. They chose to sit in a corner to avoid any disturbance.

" After shopping for such a long time, I am all the more excited for the trip. By the way, our flight is at 10 a.m. from JFK airport. I'll pick you up at 8:30 as the airport is quite far away from here. Please be ready on time!" Kristie exclaimed in a pleading manner.

" Okay darling, I'll surely be on time. But you haven't told me anything regarding what we are going to do there, which places we are gonna visit, etc. You know you can't keep me in the dark for long, right?"

" Obviously girl but I am not keeping you in the dark...I'm just going to give you surprises. And believe me, all of it will be worth the wait."

" I know, my dear."

Then they talked randomly and then at around 7 or 8 p.m. they headed back home and bade each other goodbye.

When Eva arrived at her house, no one was there. Where was her grandma?!

Suddenly, her phone vibrated. The text was from her grandmother stating that she won't be able to come back today as well due to an unplanned visit of their other relatives at her uncle's house. At the end was written," happy journey" with a smiley and heart.

She texted her back to take care of herself. Then she kept her phone aside and started packing up her belongings for her trip. She thought that all the clothes would be packed in 1 bag but when she started packing did she realise that she would require 1 more bag.

After she was done packing everything, she was so tired that she fell asleep quickly.
