Twining

Jennifer was so shocked to see all those dresses, shoes,bags and hairclips. Her jaw dropped as she looked at the brand's name on the bag. Her mouth was fully opened and she didn't know what to say. For a while she just kept looking at Selina with big big eyes. Selina was enjoying the expression on Jennifer's face a lot. After coming to the reality, she politely said to Selina, " Aunt, you shouldn't have done this!" 

Selina just chuckled at her as she said, " Jennifer, my dear, why are you scolding your aunt? I am so older than you." 

Jennifer was taken aback. She didn't mean to sound like that. But she actually sound like as if she was scolding Selina for spending too much money unnecessarily. " No, Aunt, this is not like that. It's just I am so surprised to see all those things. We can literary open a shop with these much items." 

Selina laughed out loud as she patted on her shoulder, " Jennifer, why we need to open a shop when we already have a whole shopping mall." 

Jennifer knew that Selina was talking about Royal Shopping Mall. It was under the Philips. Its true that for Selina, buying all those items are just as simple as taking a breath. But, her dad would have to collect money for 1-2 months in order to buy her one of those branded clothes. She always used to shop from this same Shopping Mall and she knew very well how much each of the items cost there. But, her father always fulfilled her wishes. He also had to struggle to do this. Now, she even have to pay her father debt. If she can sell all the things here, may be she would be able to pay the debt. Just thinking about this, she was shivering. 

She at once held Selina's hand and asked her with pleading eyes, " Aunt, I am so happy that you brought all these for me. Thank you so much for loving me this much. But, Aunt, this is a lot. Please, let us return some of these." 

Selina knew that Jennifer would not be ready to except all those things. After all, she was her mother's daughter. That's why she had already prepared herself to convince her.

Selina squeezed her hand and took a deep breath as she said, " Jennifer, do you know something? When we were young, my family was not so rich and your mother's family, you know the Lenords? They were very rich at that time. Your mom would buy me the same thing that she would buy for her. I also didn't like that she was giving me that much. Sometimes, I used to thought that may be she just wanted to show off her money. But, later I realised that she just loved me. She did that out of love. Because, when the Lenord was suddenly bankrupted and they were not rich like before. Still she would bring the same things for me, though they were not luxurious like before. I could never give her anything in return because I didn't have the ability that time. I was ashamed of thinking of your mom like that. But, now God gave me an opportunity. So, let me do this for you, please." 

Jennifer didn't know how to reject Selina after that. Selina became so emotional, so as she. Jennifer just smiled at Selina and assured her not to worry. Still she pleaded, "I know Aunt, but this is a lot." 

Selina didn't give any attention to Jennifer's pleading. She told her to shut up, " Okay, Okay, if you don't like something, we will return this. Now, lets take a look.", She became restless as she took one of the bag and brought out a white dress from that. Jennifer was in awe as she saw that beautiful dress, she hold her cheeks and said out loud, "Oh my my, this is so pretty" 

" Isn't it. But you know what happened? At first I choosed the same dress with lavender colour. But, out of nowhere Lina was there and she also liked that dress. Then, I saw the white one. I felt like that the white one was more pretty. So, I brought that. And I gifted the Lavender one to Lina. Why don't' you both wear this on a day and took some photos, just like twin Sisters? ", Selina said as her whole face was glowing with excitement. 

Jennifer remembered about the act she and Lina did in front of Selina and Robbin that day. " Aunt really believed that we both are in so good terms that we will now match outfits like twins", Jennifer became depressed as she thought about this in her mind. 

" But aunt, why are you all buying these luxurious dresses. Is there any occasion?", Jennifer asked her from curiosity. Because, Lina was also buying that dress. Also, Selina bought only this dress which is very luxurious. Other dresses were also branded but these were very outgoing. She also wanted to know if the twining was preplanned in Selina's mind or what. If the twining idea was preplanned, then this is a huge trouble. 

Selina looked at Jennifer for a while as she was thinking something. Then she opened her mouth, " Ahh, I brought that for you because I just liked that at once I saw that and I think you will look like a fairy with this. But about Lina...", Selina was silent for some second. Jennifer was now eager to know the reason for Selina's silence. 

" Lina is going on a date. That's why she came to shopping. ". Jennifer didn't know how to react on that so she just nodded her head at Selina. Then, she started to look through other dresses. 

Selina was confused if she should tell this to Jennifer or not. She was not sure why she should share this with her or why she shouldn't share this with her. After thinking for a while, she decided to say that to Jennifer, as she said, " Do you wanna know with whom she is going on a date?" 

Jennifer looked at Selina's face. Deep down, she already guessed the answer. Still, she asked with curiosity , " With who?" 

" With Edward. Isn't this kind of weird? "
