Chapter 29
It's 6:00 PM. I woke up after I fell asleep for about 5 hours, perhaps?
I felt relieved now. I feel a little relieved somehow. The heavy burden on my chest was reduced even a little.
Now, I feel alive again. I want to refresh my might tonight. I wanna go somewhere. I want to cool off.
I got up and took a shower. When I finished, I opened the closet, I chose what I would wear.
Every time I look at what I used to wear, it all comes back to who I used to be. What I did, I took off all the clothes I was wearing before. Old clothes with past: long skirt, fitted shirts, pants and t-shirts.
I put the clothes I had removed in a box. It is useless. I need to let go everything. I need to buy new clothes for myself.
Since I didn’t have a good choice to wear, I wore the black long skirt (up to half of my leg) first. Nice, okay too. Its color is quite bright which is good/ okay, perfect. Next, I tucked my fitted shirt, lavander.
I step sideways to pick up my shoulder bag, I slung it over my shoulder.
I noticed my glasses. I took that and put it inside the box. It's time for changes. I need changes for myself 'coz I am Pershey Adejar.
I looked in the mirror. I stared at myself, I smiled afterwards. I gently combed my hair. I put it down. I put hair clip, silvers.
I smiled while looking at the mirror, it smiled back to me.
I stood up to look at my outfit. The only thing missing is shoes.
I picked up the shoes I used to wear. I looked at it, it smiled bitterly, and I put them in another box. Part of past, sorry but I need to let that go.
I am no longer the old version of Pershey Adejar. I am a new version of Akishara Shane Pershey Santiago Adejar. I am Adejar. (A-de-ja (ha)-(silent r)
I didn’t wear shoes on my feet but the heels I used when mascaraed.
Now, it's perfect. I think I'm well dressed. I didn’t look old at first. I prefer not to hold books, but a fancy silver bag.
I also took my ATM card, I put it in the bag. I went outside.
The maids noticed me. I heard their whispers from afar. I just smiled to them.
I also saw Nanny Yuna. I smiled at her, she smiled too.
Before I could get out, I met Bria going up to the second floor. She was staring at me.
I know, they noticed it,those changes in me, the way I look, the way I dress now. This isn't my final outfit and looks yet, there's more.
"Wow, pretty," she said. I smiled at her before I left. I got in the car.
I arrived at the mall. Back then, I didn't go or go to the mall to shop. I shop at online stores. When the delivery date is long, I am talking to the courier and paying him 1000 to 3000 just to deliver my parcel at the time and date that I want.
Amazing, right?
I went inside. I immediately inhaled the cool breeze of the aircon. I think it will take me a while to shop now.
Let's say, it was my first time to shop here. Hehehe. I'm dead serious! This is my first time to shop here. I uses to shop online. Mostly, I buy books online rather than I shop at the book store. I'm lazy to walk before...but now ... I wanna walk for more. I want to tour this mall and buy all the things that I want. I will buy it, whether it is useful or not.
First, I took the cart. I need the help of this cart.
Second, I look around for beautiful sunglasses. Every liking of my eye, I take, I put in the cart. I'm not sure yet but I think I put on 15 sunglasses. Well, it doesn’t matter how many or how much all.
Third, I'm in the shoes. Aha! I want 6 pairs of sneakers, 2 pairs of slippers (for me to wear in my room) and lastly, 10 pairs of heels: 5 pairs of pointed, 5 pairs of square. Oh! I forgot to include two more heels, 8 inches and 6 inches. I will use at the Pageant.
You are right in what you read. To make it clear, yes, I'm going to join Neil's Pageant scheme. I will join not for him but for myself. I want to dive into modeling, something like that. I want to be who I am. I'm tired of being called a nerd, weird and what I hate the most? Being called 'old woman'
Different colors, designs and style of heels, slippers and sneakers.
A cart below is immediately full. I separated the sunglasses, lest they break or break.
Fourth, I'm in the hair ornaments. I mean, hair clips, pins etc. Since I'm too lazy to shop for what's good, I've already stamped the contents of a tray in my cart. I softly laughed at my nonsense tonight.
As well as a scrunchies stacked on a tray, I tucked into the cart as well.
Hahahaha. I am enjoying!
I even took a walk to tour the entire mall. I felt tired, I stopped. I saw a saleslady. I called her to assist me. And because I am enjoying, I don't want to waste her time of assisting me. I paid her secretly, 3000 pesos. She pushing the cart full of things, I also pushed another cart. The cart she was pushing was not yet full. I need to add more things so I chose beautiful dye colors, cellowax, a permanent hair color. As well as hair straightener, hair curler, clips, hair dryer, hair vitamins and heat protection, I also put in the cart. I ordered her to leave it at the counter first, obviously in need, huh.
She returned, pushing another cart. Foods are in my cart, healthy foods. I also put in some dairy milk and other chocolates, fresh milk, and many more.
Right now, my cart is full and it's a bit painful to push so I ordered it to be taken to the counter.
I sent her back to what she was doing. I can handle it now.
Now, it's time to buy clothes. Everything I like, I took. I no longer measured, direct to the cart. I includes bra, underwear, socks, stockings, gloves, eye masks and many more. I also bought skirts, pants, shorts etc. Everything I notice is beautiful in my eyes, I take, direct to the cart.
I'm tired of walking. I need some rest so I sat down first. There is a sofa so I sit like I am the owner of it. Hahaha. Incredible, I have no shame.
I stood up as shoulder bags and bags caught my eye. I was amazed. Beautiful and perfectly good for my everyday outfit.
By my estimate, I put 20 pieces of bags.
No, something is missing.
Lastly, I go to the row where there are make-up kits etc.
Oh my! Very attractive. Soft brushes, attractive palettes, red lipsticks, sweet liptints, concealers, oh blush on, eyebrow materials, eyeliners and many more.
Oh my eyes! Every things are attractive! I wanna buy this mall!
Have I shopped a lot? Is it quite a lot? Seems like just a little bit more. This last. I will buy accessories/ jewelries.
Just like what I said, I will buy those.
Here I am, at the counter. The cashier complained a bit to me because she said she would count a lot.
Even though she didn’t say it, I noticed that she was complaining from the way she collected each item and the way she counted it. She can't fake me. It's her job to be responsible and nice to the costumer. I am their big customer.
I looked at her, she's mad, I know though she's not saying anything.
"Is it okay if I ask for the help of another cashier? I hope it's easy to calculate my purchases so that you don't frown there."
She looked at me. She fake her smile, she said, "Okay, Ma'am."
And that's exactly what happened. They worked together to count my purchases to facilitate the work of the woman in front of me. She's annoying, seriously.
Finally, done. I just don’t know how to put my purchases in the car. I thought, just a little, no.
I can't carry everything so I asked for help. I enlisted the help of guards and other helpers to put everything I bought in the car. And this is it! This is final! I can go home too! I will be able to drive back to the mansion again. I can now relax, chill and refresh my mind.
Tomorrow is another day. I need to sleep for a while but I need to drive first.
I checked my watch, 8:34 PM. I can't believe this! I've been at the mall for too long! Why it took me 2 hrs and 30 minutes? I just shopped!
Oh my! I need to drive immediately but I am lazy to drive now. Who will drive for me?
Ahh! I need to call my drivers. They will come here using one of my vehicles. One of them will drive for me and the other will return to the mansion using my motor.
Aha!
I dialed. Ringing. Nanny Yuna answered my call and I said I needed drivers. She immediately sent the drivers.
I just waited 15 minutes before they got to where I was. As I plan, one will drive for me.
The backseat is full so I'm just here at first.
I sleep for a while while he is still driving. Gladly, traffic tonight so I can prolong my nap. I just need some rest. I'm tired of wandering around the mall. Tiresome to shop but I enjoyed. Somehow, even in a small way, I was happy apart from Nanny Yuna talking to me.
I am happy somehow by my own strategies. I shopped, I enjoyed. Atleast, my time doesn’t revolve around thinking. And somehow, I refreshed my mind.
"What time is it?" I asked as I closed my eyes.
"9:17 PM"
I'm just hungry but because I bought food, I can eat here now.
I ate for a while, I shared my foods to Driver Gong but I didn't give him alcohol. Maybe instead of going home to the mansion, we might go to the morgue in case I give him alcohol.
I just gave him water, better than wine. He needs minerals, his body needs minerals.
Here I am, drinking soju. I'm not drunk yet.
