"Why are you doing this?" I asked him, holding the paper bag with both of my hands.
"Doing what?" he asked back. My question was too obvious. Why is he still asking?
"Why did you buy me shoes?" I asked again, a clear one this time.
"Oh, the shoes. I just don't want you to hurt yourself. And also, you deserve it. Consider it a gift for your hard work," he briefly explained before going inside the car.
