The Ringing Bell...7

Store Assistant: Can I help you madam?

Tina: Yes please we are looking for a warm winter dress.

Store Assistant: Please proceed towards that side, (to another assistant). Anne, please help them out.

Store Assistant: For sure. Yes madam, please come to this side. I have to measure your size. Thanks a lot madam. Here we have a large range of winter dresses - gowns, cardigans, over-coats, jackets etc.

Tina (pointing towards a black dress): Do you like this gown, Bell?

Bell: I think I will try.

Store Assistant: Madam, please on your left is the changing room.

Bell: I will just return.

Bell went & returned after a few moments.

Bell: How do I look sis?

Tina: Good.

Frank: As beautiful as ever.

Bell: But I am confused.

Tina: Don’t be, you can try other dresses. (Pointing to a yellow dress) Try this out.

Bell: I don’t like the color. It’s dull yellow.

Both the girls kept on seeing dresses. Frank stood there yawning. In the meantime Ryan arrived.

Ryan: I hope you girls might have decided upon the dress.

Frank (yawning miserably): Not yet, buddy.

Tina: We are doing our work at our speed.

Frank: I can witness that.

Bell (to Ryan): How do I look in this green dress?

Ryan: So, so (pointing to a pink dress) Try this one out. (To Frank): Hold these chips. You both can have it.

Tina: Thanks a lot, honey.

Bell took the dress and went to the changing room. She returned after some time.

Bell: It does not fit well.

Store Assistant: Don’t worry about that madam. Please check for other factors, we can give the dress of your size if you like this.

Bell (to Tina): Feel the cloth, sis.

Tina: It’s good. Do you find it comfortable?

Bell: Yes it is. It feels good. But I am still confused. What do you say Ryan?

Ryan (thinking): Come with me.

He pulled Bell towards a large mirror.

Bell (looking at her dress): It feels good, but…

Ryan: In my 24 years I haven’t seen moon rising with such elegance & charm!

Bell (turning towards a window): Where?

Ryan (smiling & pointing towards the mirror): There sweetheart!!

Bell: So am I looking beautiful?

Ryan: Exquisitely charming, I cannot draw my eyes from you!!

Bell: Then I am gonna have this. Thanks dear. (To Tina) Sis, I have finalized this dress.

Frank (with a sigh): Thanks goodness.

Tina (to Frank): Shut up for a moment. (To Bell) Ok, you really look very beautiful in this.

Do you need a higher size?

Bell (smiling & looking lovingly at Ryan): Yes sis.

Tina (to Store Assistant): Can you please get a higher size of this dress be packed?

Store Assistant: With pleasure, madam.

They all moved towards the cash-deck. Thereafter they finished off with payments.

Frank: I am hungry dear. Can we find a café & have something?

Ryan: I found one on my way to this place.

Bell (still smiling): I am ready to have anything with you.

Tina: Let’s go guys.

All four of them moved towards the Café.
