The rain slowly stops its drizzle, as they travel down the bypass route of Nellai. Selene could see the Saravana Stores at the Nellai junction. Memories flash her mind and thoughts conjure her college days.
Saravana Stores was one of the best shopping destination, where she used to purchase clothes with friends during her hostel days of graduation. She tells Gia about the 10 rs sambhar food they relish after a tiring shopping. On travelling, they see the board of Khazana Jewellery to make a gold purchase there.
Selene's POV
Our car driver parks the Scorpio in the parking space. I carry Elena on my shoulders to make a move towards the shop. Gia and Dad accompany and we step our feet together inside the jewellery shop.
I look into the designs of bangles, check their prices and grams of gold. Gia takes a pep into the bangle sessions with those delightful eyes! I pick some bangles for Gia to give a shot. She tries few bangles, but her thin hands doesn't support her.
She eventually looks into a stone bangle studded with the goddess lakshmi. I liked those bangles, but our finances didn't support our purchase. Finally, we choose two 16 gram bangles and make a billing of gold purchase.
I instructed Gia to wear those bangles in her hand for the safe side. When our dad was in the billing session , I took Elena to the diamond showroom to have a look at it. She liked few diamond earrings. I told Elena, "Very soon I will get this diamond earrings for you". Elena smiled and jumps in an excitement.
After gold purchase, our stomach growls with hunger noises..
I fasten to open the tiffin box of idli and sambhar, which my mom packed in the early morning for us. I have a quick bite of three idlis dipped in Sambhar, Gia also satiates her hunger pangs. Elena loved to eat those fluffy soft vadas, as our car moves in a very slow pace. We get down to wash our hands to make our next visit towards Ashoka Showroom for purchasing few new clothes for me!
