KATRINA

"Where should we go first?" I look around as if there is another shop that I can go to. But the truth is, I usually goes to clothing brand, perfumes, bags, shoes, jewerlies so, I don't know if there's any place that will be a new to me.

I didn't heard Tina's answered so, I turn my gazed at her and only to found out that she's looking to the shop for a baby.

Wait... What?!

"Hey!" I wave my hand in front of her face.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" She immediately said.

"Where are you looking at?" I raised my left eye brow and wait for her to answer but she avoid it. So, I let it aside.

"Did you already choose?"

"Hmm. I think, we should go first in clothing brand. I feel like my dresses is already trite."

"Eh? Are you kidding, Kat? Your clothes are all new. There's nothing in your room was old. You always give those clothes that you'd wear one day in orphanage. So, what are you saying? Just tell that you want some gaud in your closet. Duh!"

"Ya! Just shut your mouth and come along with it." I start to drag her out. But later on, I heard her growled.

"Katrina! You bitch! Stop dragging me out! I can walk, aish!" I stop because of it and let go of her hand. She wince when she saw her arm—ruddy.

"Are you planning to hurt me?!" Her eyes was now teary. I can't help but to feel sorry. I think, I just overdo a while ago.

"Its your fault! You're too white, that's why!" I reason out.

"Wow! So its my skin's fault now?! You just used your all strength on me! My god, Katrina. I'm not a doll okay? I am a human, I have two feet that I can use in walking so, no need to dragged me out." I pout on what she'd said.

"I didn't think that it will be hurt you so much, Tina. Can you forgive me?"

"What else should I do with you? Psh."

"Come on, Tina. Can't you just forgive me?" I tried to make my voice sadder than it was a while ago.

"Don't use that tone on me, Katrina." I make face and because of it she hit my right arm.

"What the hell?" I exclaimed. Everyone who heard it, was now looking at my direction. I just let them be and glare at Tina who's now smirking.

"Attention seeker bitch."

"You sadist witch!"

"How 'bout you, piggy bitch? You know what? Let just go, bitch! You really love to make attention. Have a little shame for yourself."

"Tsk! Why would I need to do that? I'm just being me, witch."

"Well, as you can see, you're the princess of Alkinia, Honzel. Be responsible enough."

"What? You really love to tease me, eh? For your information, bitch. I have my own life so better to not interfere with it. Katrina is only for Katrina. No one owns me, got it?"

"Yeah yeah. Your nostril was growing—"

"The heck, Tina?"

"Just kidding!" I stamped my feet it annoyance. Later on, I felt someone's hand clung to my arm.

"Yiee! I'm sorry."

"Whatever you say!" I rolled my eyes and walk to the shop of clothes.

I'm busy looking to the dresses when I found two dress that really made my eyes twinkle.

"Oh my gosh! Tina—what's more beautiful? Is this red or this white?" I lift them both. In that way, Tina can see them clearly.

"Hmm. They both pretty. Just have them both."

"You sure?" She just nod her head and look at her phone again. I shrug and look to two dresses that I am holding.

Gosh! They are so beautiful. I want to hug and kiss them but they need to wash first before I do that. Safety first. My smile didn't fade even when we goes to the other shop.

For the last round, we're here, looking for differents designs of heels but my eyes only fix for those three snickers that hanging to the wall.

I called the sales lady and point those three.

Waaah! I feel like I am in the heaven.

"Tina!" I called her name without looking where the hell she is. Suddenly, there's a pair of heels stop in front of me.

"What is it now?"

"Try this one," I gave her the black snickers.

"I don't want to spend my money just for this shoes."

"Just put them on!" I ordered. She couldn't do anything and just sigh. She already put those shoes on and it looks perfectly on her feet.

"Lovely." I can only say. "Don't try to remove that shoes on you or else." I threaten her but it looks like it isn't work on her.

"Come on, Kat. I don't want to—"

"I am the one who will buy it for you, okay? Just don't remove them. Look," I point my feet and let her see that we both wearing the same design but different colors. "We're couple. So, please." I use my puppy eyes on her venturer that she'll accept it.

"You're really stubborn. What will your dad says if he'll know about this."

"Well, he'll be glad or even throw a party cause I have a friend and treat her well. Oh come on, Tina. Just accept this one."

"Fine! But this is the first and last that you'll buy a things for me, got it?"

"Yes, yes." I clapped my both hands because of happiness.

When we're done shopping, I saw Tina, looking at the baby garments again. Is she somewhat pregnant or just wanted to buy it for her baby cousins, godchild, stepchild or what?

"Do you want to buy something there?" I ask her. She just shake her head and smile.

"Let's go. Your driver must be already there."

"Oh right! I'm going to give you a ride, witch."

"Oh no! Someone's gonna fetch me here, so you will go first." I look at her suspicious.

"Are you just hiding something from me, Tina?"

"You're just imagining things, bitch. Don't be exaggerated, I'm clearly innocent." She laugh a little but I remained silent.

"What? Don't tell me, you really thinking that I am hiding a secrets from you? You know me, Kat." I supposed to not let it aside but I think I should just wait for her to spill it.

"You'll be fine here?"

"Yeah. Soon he'll be here."

I wanted to ask more. Like what the heck? Did she just said HE? But I bit my lips to prevent myself to ask more.

When I already inside of the car. I look at her through the window and wave my hand.

Lark start the engine so, I close the window and just think about what happened a while ago. She usually buy what I buy but today its different and it leaves puzzle in my head.

Also the one she'd mention. Hmm, maybe its her brother or cousin. Don't overthink Katrina. She wouldn't try to lie on you. Trust her.

Yeah, I must trust her.
