The Horizon Boundaries

Ch.47 Shopping

Maisa and Ken enter a black and white men's clothing store. The dim lighting seems relaxed and elegant. Some standing hangers containing shirts and suits are in the middle of the room. For pants and some other men's clothing on display on shelves along the wall separated by a mirror.

Maisa walks down the shelf. Ken was standing next to him. He grabbed the price tag of a mint-colored shirt. His eyes glared at the price.

Shucks! It cost two million. How many clothes in Tanah Abang.

Maisa laughed stifledly, turning her head towards Ken. The man raised his eyebrows.

"Why? Want to see another shop?"

"Oh, no need."

Maisa walked forward down the clothes rack. His eyes were fixed on the men's accessories on the back shelf. There are purses and branded belts on display.

After looking at it for a while, he chose a black folding wallet patterned with stripes and a similar colored belt.

"Sir, this is included in the gift box black color also yes," Maisa told the salesperson who guarded.

"Good, Ka. Oh yes, for his wallet can free perfume. What to put in too."

"Can."

Maisa turned to Ken. He saw that he had nothing in his hands. The girl tilted her head.

"Well, Ken didn't buy it?"

"I've bought. I'll buy it again."

Maisa roared with a nod of her head. Before long the salesman returned with a paper bag containing a gift box.

Ken intends to pay, but is rejected by Maisa. He said that gifts must be purchased with his own money. Ken finally gave up.

The two left the shop and continued their journey. Ken stopped his car at a women's clothing boutique. Maisa looked at him questioningly.

"Have come in, yuk."

Ken pulled the girl into the boutique. The interior design pink color combined with cream color. The minimalist concept presents a simple style, but still looks luxurious. Fashion collections lined up on shelves on the left, right, to the middle of the boutique room.

Ken pointed at some clothes on the beautiful saleswoman who was standing guard. Maisa covered her gaping mouth with both hands. He said nothing when Ken pointed at so many clothes.

"Whatever that is for," Maisa said in a whispering tone. He shook Ken's arm.

Ken smiled at him. He pulled the girl to the second floor, to the fitting area. Maisa intends to protest but is stopped.

The room was dominated by dusty colors. There is a sofa of similar color. In front of him was a door and a large mirror beside him.

"So try everything I've chosen before" said Ken.

Maisa's eyes widened. Both of his eyebrows went up. His mouth is a little bit open. He saw the salesman riding up with a trolley containing a pile of clothes.

"What?" His voice almost squealed.

Ken sat on the couch, crossed his legs. Waiting for the girl to come out of the dressing room in front of him. Maisa opened the door with a knee-length navy-colored dress combined with a similar-colored brucet draped over her shoulder.

Ken shook the coconut, telling him to change again. Soon Maisa came out with a black knee-length dress combined with a cream color. A black belt was embedded in her slender waist.

Maisa grunted. Almost five times changed clothes, none to suit Ken's taste.

Maisa came out again with a short, knee-length cocktail dress of the V-neck model in white without lemgan and a gray edelweiss flower bouquet. For his arms covered with a similar colored brakat tassel. He wears white highheels.

Ken snapped his finger. Maisa's appearance became even more attractive. The girl breathed a sigh of relief. It's not in vain that he ransacked all the dresses that Ken chose. He did not want to imagine how many times he had to try all the clothes just now.

"It's over, isn't it, brother?" maisa asked with a stifled laugh.

"Still not. There's one more place to go."

"What's?"

And here it is now, a famous salon in Jakarta.

“What are we going to the salon for? You want to dance first?” asked Maisa again with a face of astonishment.

Ken did not answer. He pulls Maisa into the salon. Maisa noticed her hand held by Ken. This was the third time the man had clasped his hand today. His hands are warm. Maisa felt herself turning weird.

Maisa wanted to protest when an MUA wanted to support her pulled her into the makeup room. Ken instead waved with a smile on his face, not poking at him.

Maisa. For almost an hour she was in the make up room. His eyes glanced at the watch, already showing it at six o'clock. Kio's birthday show starts at seven.

Shortly after, Maisa finished dressing up. Her short hair added hair extension in the midget to the top, plus a leaf hair strap. His face was given natural makeup, using earrings and necklaces with floral motifs.

Ken was stunned to see it. Maisa held onto her dress as well as her face. She felt strange because she was not used to wearing dresses and make up. Usually he just uses moisturizer, powder, lipstick, finished.

“Kak Ken, I feel strange,” said Maisa made Ken aware of the sculpting.

“She is beautiful," the salon owner told Ken.

Ken smiled as he looked at Maisa who was watching himself. He had not expected Maisa to be that beautiful.

"Of course I know. Thanks for taking the time to dress it up."

During the trip, Maisa never stop raving about his appearance which is considered awkward. Ken noticed Maisa's innocent behavior, looking at her with a smile.

...****...

A lot of people came to Kio's birthday. He was busy welcoming guests who congratulated him. Mr. Chandra stood beside him.

Mia came wearing a dusty pink under-knee dress with no sleeves model shaved in the ping. Not too tight but a little showing the curves of his body. Her long hair was tied slightly behind and plus a flower access strap.

The girl looks charming walking towards him. Kio was a little stunned. A few eyes looked at him in amazement. There was Erik walking beside him. Mia hugged his arm.

Somehow he felt annoyed at the closeness of the two. He rejected the girl's declaration of love.

"Happy birthday, sister," said Mia hugging Kio for a moment. She smiled sweetly at him. Kio's heart suddenly beat unnaturally.

"Happy birthday, Bro." Erik's voice broke his daydream. The two chuckled softly, clashing fists.

"Where's Ken?" ask Erik again.

Kio shrugged his shoulders. Since then Ken has not been seen the trunk of his nose with Maisa. There's a little bit of excitement going on. The tail of his eyes saw a beautiful female figure entering the event venue.

Erik and Mia looked over. Between shock and disbelief loomed over his third face.

"Oh, my god. He's coming too." Mia covered her mouth with both hands. His eyes glanced towards the petrified Kio and Erik.
