Friday has arrived, this signifies that the shopping day is coming.
It was already morning, Zahra checked out some of the money she was going to spend on. Because this is in the city and maybe the price is a bit expensive than in the village they live in, so Zahra prepared $380 or about ¥33.000 ( exchange at 2010 ).
Everything has been prepared. Zahra prepares breakfast for Farhan first and then they leave for Tokyo Shopping Mall Center.
Everything was done, they two then walked out of the hotel.
Because they are so confused about what vehicle to ride, They want to order like fast train or city bus, but with unexpectedly....
"heyy zahra. If you want, I'll take you there. You and your child are going there, right? To Tokyo's biggest mall" appeared suddenly
"ehh fatah. How can you know the location where I stay? Btw why you going to here?"
"are you forget that? Yesterday, I was here carrying out the taxi order that you ordered, right?"
"I will also go there with my son to shop for necessities, especially now that there is a big discount up to 50%" Fatah continued
"really? If you say so, yeah i will. Arigatou for the ride"
Later, Farhan and Zahra got into Fatah's car. Farhan's shocked, It turned out that Fatah's son was his own friend that one he met at the hill of urayama.
"aaa-aafiff????"
"ff-aarhaannn????!"
They two are really shocked, They didn't expect to meet again under these circumstances.
" Afif, are you know this boy?" fatah asking by driving the car
"yes papa, i know this guy"
" where you met him? I mean you don't even telling about him. Usually, you always tell stories about your friends in class and even always show your friend photos to papa"
"sorry papa. He's not my classmate, i just met him 2 months ago. I met in urayama hill"
"what the hell are you doing there? It's to far from your school i mean it's 50KMs. Are you skipping your school?" with angry face
Because Afif is confused and afraid because his secret has been revealed to His Father and seen by Farhan. Farhan took the initiative to help him
" sorry ano mr. Fatah, It's not that I want to Interfere in your affairs but afif does not go there every day only 2 times a week, so please forgive him. He not do that again"
"oke, because farhan Asked for it, then I will grant it. I will forgive afif but if he acts up again, I as your father will cut your tuition allowance money, remember well afif"
"yes papa" with a slightly annoyed face
Afif was a little annoyed by what Farhan said. But, he felt that Farhan was also helping him.
"nahh, If it's peaceful, it's good. You two have a very close relationship, right fatah" Zahra enters into the conversation
"Not really, i just want him to honest, whether it's the same as his own father or someone else. He had to say as he was. That's what my wife once said"
"wahh, your wife is so good. I think she's great person. Can i met her? I wanna talk to her"
"she's died" Afif interrupted the conversation
"afif, don't say that, it's not polite. It's your mother ya know" with angry face
"i don't care. She even don't love me. I hate her" while turning his face to the side of the car window
"Afiiffffff!!!!! What did you sayyy!?????" with a snapping tone
Because the atmosphere was heating up, Zahra wanted to cool it down.
"Please forgive him, fatah. I know, i don't really know what's his problem but maybe he's need more attention from you"
"anyway, i have this one. It's farhan's gamebot. It was my son's favorite thing. Actually because it was a gift from me. You can keep it, afif. You can consider me your mother" Zahra Continued
"You don't have to. Why was he given such an valuable objects, moreover this is a gift from you. What for? You don't agree right, Farhan?" Fatah replied
"yeah i'm a little bit disagree with what mama doing but i want to afif feel happy and not stressed so i give it to you my gamebot"
Because he said that, Afif suddenly felt something was wrong with him. He immediately hugged Farhan and cried. Farhan, Zahra and Fatah were shocked, especially Fatah, who 'd never seen Afif crying like that in entire him life. Afif also humming thanked zahra for the care that he never even felt with his mother because his mother only thought about his work and money.
The taxi car beeping indicates that they have arrived at the Tokyo Shopping Mall Center. Feeling happy, they then went down and saw a very magnificent building. The building was roughly 30 meters high and its outer layer was extremely gleaming glass.
Because they are quite excited, they want to buy what they want immediately. Farhan wants to go shopping with Afif, they ask their parents and they agree. Afif was given $500 or ¥44,000 by his father and Farhan was only given $125 or ¥11,000 by his mother. After that, they are SHOPPINGG.....
First of all, Farhan wants to go to a clothing store. He wanted to buy the jacket of his dreams. A jacket with a picture of his favorite anime, Naruto. Because Afif is still confused about what to buy, he decides to follow Farhan to a clothing store first. Take a long walk down the hall and take the elevator. Finally they arrived at the first shop. They went in and looked at the jackets that were there but none of the jackets they wanted. Because he remembered, Afif immediately grabbed his hand and took him somewhere. Confused, Farhan just follows what Afif wants.
After a long time of running, they finally arrived at the front of the shop. This is Afif's favorite shop since he was 5 years old. Afif explained that this shop ( バイシン衣料品店, Baishin iryōhinten ) it is known for its high quality clothes but still at a fairly cheap price. After being explained in detail, Farhan was interested in the shop and entered to look for a hoodie jacket that he wanted to have.
After going in and looking carefully for the hoodie jacket, he saw what seemed to be yellow hair and he checked it and...
"finally, i found it, afif. I found it. Yeeeee"
He was very happy and even jumped up and down and he held Afif's hand and jumped back together. That's was so funny ( afif think ). After that, because he already got it, Farhan then went to the place of payment which is beside the front of the shop. The hoodie jacket was scanned and the price appeared. The cashier told farhan that the price was $200.
Farhan, who had been excited, suddenly had a sad face. Because he was confused about why Farhan was sad, Afif then asking for..
"Why are you sad, farhan?. You already got what you want. Be happy, oke"
"yeah. I know i got that i want but it's to expensive to me. I just have money for $125 but the price is $200. my money is don't get enough"
"i see. Nihh $75 for you. I give it to you"
" noo, i thank you but i'm good. It's fine if I can't afford it"
"it's not problem. I'll give it to you. I'm sincere and this is not a debt, but this is a gift, so it doesn't need to be returned. do you want? Remember you're here, you don't even know you'll be here again, right?" while thrusting money
" i know but..... "
" if you reject it, you will regret it"
"okey i accept that you give it to me. But, I will still pay it off to you later" while taking the money given by the afif
"up to you. There, go and pay. Cashier is waiting you to pay"
" okey afif. Arigatou i mean thanks for your help"
"welcome farhan" with a smiling face
Because Farhan has bought what he wants, and now Afif will buy.
"afif, where do you want to go? Are u want to buy clothes? Book? Shoe? Or what?"
" i don't know, but probably i want to buy something special like gamebot"
"Ehh, I already gave you my gamebot. Is it too old? Or you don't like it because the game is to bad?"
"haha, no farhan. Im just joking. Your gamebot it's awesome so i don't want to replace it. Anyway, what it's? In your pocket?Why does it sound?"
"ahh. It's my pet"
"your pet? What the hell, you just joke right?" shocked into the head
"no, i say the truth. It's my tamaguchi pet. Sorry for disturb you with that cracked sound"
"where u buy it? I think i want to buy"
"oh i don't know. I was bought by my late father. This is the only valuable thing he gave to me.
"probably we can ask someone in here? I think it's work sometime" Farhan continued
"oh, i'm sorry for that. It's good idea"
Because Farhan's advice was very good, they then asked anyone who passed there. They asked either children( Who is the same age with them ), old people, teenagers, or the workers who worked there. After much asking, they found a girl who knew where they could buy one.
"Hey, two little kids. I'll take you there because yesterday I bought a tamagachi pet to my cousin so follow me"
After following hee for at least 20 minutes, they finally arrived in front of that shop, that shop was called 東京のおもちゃ屋さん( Tōkyō no omochayasan ).
"arigatou, ani-san for brought us here. If it wasn't Ani-san we definitely wouldn't be able to come here"
"it's no problem. I'm happy to help you. Have fun and happy shopping"
After she left them, farhan entered the shop. There are lots of toys such as remote control cars, robots, water guns, and many more. But, Afif is looking for is Tamagachi Pet, who is the same as Farhan. After circling the contents of the kiosk, Afif has not found either. Suddenly..
"Afif, i found the tamagachi store" By shouting
Hearing this, Afif swiftly ran to the place where Farhan was screaming. After arriving, Farhan showed him the place and Afif saw lots of beautiful tamagachi pets. He was so happy that his eyes twinkled as brightly as the full moon. Immediately he took tamagachi let which was blue in color, the same as farhan. The only difference is that Farhan has an older visual, because it only produces black and white visuals and moves it with buttons, while the one Afif bought has color and can be touched too, and the screen size of the tamagachi pet is slightly larger.
Actually it was a little disappointing for Afif because it was different, but because he had the same color, he still bought it. Then he went to the cashier to pay for the item. after the scan, the price that appears listed $250. Because he wanted it, so he immediately paid for it.
"How much does it cost, afif?"
" $250 but because i have Customer card, I paid it only $150. Oh yeah i just remember, Right now there is a discount up to 50%"
"Why didn't I get a discount when I bought that hoodie jacket, ya?
" let me check your receipt"
After being checked by Afif, it turns out that the actual price of the hoodie jacket is $450. Farhan, who heard about it, was immediately shocked that the price he had bought was fantastic price.
After shopping, they went to the mall cafeteria where they could buy food. After arriving at the mall cafeteria, they looked for a seat to sit on.
"have a seat, farhan" Afif thrust a chair to him
"arigatou" Feeling confused over affective behavior
After that, they got some sort of paper that said what to buy. Because Farhan let Afif choose for him, Afif then bought 2 ramen and 2 chocolate ice cream. As soon as they finished eating, they forgot that they were here with their parents. For fear of being left behind, they immediately went down to the ground floor. They really panicked afraid of being left behind because it's been more than 3 hours they shopped.
Right on the ground floor, they saw his parents sitting enjoying a bottle of macha tea, they sighed and called out to them. After Regroup, they then went home. They then got on the car.
The clock was already 2 p.m. , They had arrived in front of the hotel that Zahra and Farhan were staying at
"arigatou for the ride, fatah" while shaking hand's up
"welcome zahra"
" thank you for helping me in there, afif. You are my savior"
"haha, Don't be so, but it's okay that I enjoy shopping with you. Sayonara i mean goodbye"
"goodbye"
Fatah and Afif continued their stuff going to home.
Zahra and Farhan then entered the hotel and their room. Like yesterday, Zahra and Farhan immediately lay down and sleep because of their shopping activities.
