"After the drama came the happy ending"
If you are thinking about a typical dramatic love story on the internet where the heroin is being abused then, later on, takes her revenge and still accepts the excuse made by the male lead of his abuse. Nah this is not about it. I hate reading this kind of love story but sometimes I still want to know how the author rationalized the abuse from ML and still end with the happy ending with the female lead.
After the buffet breakfast, my parents announced that were going out sightseeing. I said yes! where are finally end the drama and start with the happy ending called sightseeing which is another word for shopping.
For me and my mom, you can't separate sightseeing from shopping. First on the agenda is a city tour of course which consists of viewing the giant shopping malls.
So we went to one of the biggest shopping malls in Asia. When it comes to shopping my mom is already equip with all the information which she extracted from the Internet of course. While my dad seems reluctant to accompany us for he already knows what is installed for him on this trip. My mom saw the look on my dad's face and her love for my dad's overcome her dark self of torturing him by making him accompany our shopping. To make my dad happy she suggested to him to go for a relaxing spa or male grooming like hair cutting, beard trimming, manicure pedicure. My dad chooses male grooming so when we arrived at the mall we send him to do it and we agreed to pick him up at 1 pm for lunch. The happiness of being indulgence by his wife shows how my dad kisses and hugs mom when they bid their goodbye. Yeah, another awkward moment for me where I feel being the excess baggage to their sweet moments.
I and my mom went to the women's clothing section of the mall where different brands of clothing you can find. My mom is a practical person. She buys clothes that are classics, affordable, and make her look good. We tried so many outfits together but only bought the ones that suit us and make us look beautiful. Mom purchased two knee-length straight-cut addresses with short sleeves and a round neck that can be used in her office by adding a blazer and can be formal wear for dinner as well by removing the vest. She also bought one-inch black heels shoes. Mom bought me a pair of skinny black jeans that I like so much, walking shorts, two midrib blouses, a black sneaker, and strappy sandals. Then we went to the underwear section. Mom bought a dozen of cotton with lace panties and three lacy brass. While she bought me my favorite cotton character panties and three sports bra and three regular ones.
Mom loves Dooney and Bourke bags. They are not very expensive, are made of pure leather, and are able. She purchased one dark brown handbag and one black shoulder bag. I told mom can I have a leather backpack for me that with the same brand as her bag and she said ok go and choose one for you. I am very happy my mom bought me a 200 dollar backpack. It looks like this year's family vacation is not going to happen the way my mom spends money.
Then we went to two polo shirts for dad, a dozen of cotton underwear, and a beautiful checkered necktie.
Then we went to mend bad and accessories section and mom bought dad a dark brown cowboy leather belt and a leather wallet.
Mom said to me in her not happy voice, it looks like our family vacation this year starts today and ends after 3 days. We almost spend more than half of our family vacation budget. So I assured my mom with my adult-like tone and declared, it's ok mom we can always have a vacation on the beach at home. Were not only saving money in that way but we can spend the other half of that money on more shopping!
