here the story goes:
i walked around at a mall looking for something interesting for myself. and suddenly, i stopped at this shop that sells a lot of cool clothes. and there was one particular clothe that caught my eye. it was a leather jacket. i have always wanted a leather jacket. i went in to the store and straight walk to the leather jacket section. i hold the jacket and felt it. it was so soft. it smells like a genuine leather. i dont know how to describe it but i just knew it with just a smell and by feeling it. the feeling of touching the black fine leather jacket is so undescribable. oh god, i feel like i found something that is so precious that i dont want to let it go. afraid that someone might stole it from me.
a salesgirl approached me. she is as tall of me which means that is short because i am short. she has long thick black hair that looked so shiny and manageable. it is a kind of hair that i wish i could have. anyway, she asked me if i wanted to have a try on the leather jacket. and i suddenly replied,"hell ya!". she looked like she's a little bit surprised with my reply and i just tried the jacket without looking at her. trying to hide my embarrasement of getting to excited to try on the leather jacket. Oh my god! i felt it. i felt it. it felt so smooth and it is like i was born for this jacket. it fits me right. it was like we are meant to be together. nobody could wear it as perfect as i did. oh my god.. i really need this jacket. this bloody fine leather jacket.
i looked at the price, and i gave it back to her, the salesgirl. it was so expensive that i dont think i could manage to buy it. the salesgirl looked at me and asked,"dont you want it? it suits you". this salesgirl also agreed that i was meant to have thos jacket! she knew it too! but how was i to buy the jacket? and suddenly, i got an idea. i open my blue bagpack that was quite heavy where i carried it around everywhere i go because all my stuff is in the bagpack. i carried out my newest laptop. it was the red color of the latest vaio laptop. i bought it for around rm8000 and it was still brand new as i just bought it 2 weeks ago. i offered to the salesgirl as a payment for the leather jacket. and suddenly the salesgirl said, "no". i was shocked. what did she mean by "no"? i told her about the laptop and she said,"i have one and it is in blue color". i was sad. because the laptop was worth more than the leather jacket.
i played with my silver locket that was hanging around on my neck. it was a habit of mine to play with the locket whenever i was sad or i have no idea what to do. and then it hit me. this silver locket was the shaped of love with inscription that says,"yours forever". it was my grandmother's. it is priceless as this is an heirloom posession and this was silver gold and it was very expensive. trust me, i know. i offered it to her and she said "no" again. i said,"what?!". and she replied,"im not interested with your locket". how heartbroken i was to hear it.
i think that jacket will not be mine after all. i was so hertbroken that i decided to leave the store. before i did, i looked at the leather jacket for the last time to say goodbye. i hope i wont see the jacket anymore because i already said goodbye to it. as i was keeping my laptop back in my bag, suddenly the salesgirl screamed. "i want that! i want it!". i was so lost to what she was pointing at. my dusty radio? it was my dad's when he bought it in 1960. he gave it to me and i intended to sell it to an antique shop as i dont like any old things that looked old. i brough out my dusty rdio and showed it to her and said,"this?" and she replied, "yes!! yes!!". and i asked, "are you sure? this thing is so old and i dont know whether it is still working or not". and she said she dont mind at all because she's been looking for that radio for a very long time. she had it before where her mother gave it to her but she lost it. she said,"please, can i have it? we can trade it with the leather jacket that you're dying to have it". i blinked my eyes for a few times. is she for real? well hey, i guess it was my lucky day. a dusty and rusty old radio for a damn fine black leather jacket.
p/s: i tried my best to be creative and that is all what i can do. i hope you like it!
