Mom, I Want School
21. SCHOOL UNIFORMS ARE EXPENSIVE.

...✏️✏️✏️...

It felt like I was so scared, my eyes were watering as if I wanted to cry after the woman scolded me. I quickly ran to the store to the father who apparently did not hear the voice of the woman who was angry and of course was scolding me.

The terrified me stepped back as my two eyes stared outwards trying to make sure the owner of the school uniform shop didn't follow me all the way to the store.

I gasped in shock when my body hit someone back there making me look at the father who was looking at me with a face so confused.

"Mr!"

"You why?" ask the confused father.

"No, I'm fine" I answered, which made me lie.

The father seemed to nod and he did not think about it too long and after that he re-bid some prices after choosing some fishing rods that he liked. I breathed a sigh of relief at last the father no longer asked and the woman did not enter this store and returned angry and of course scolded me.

Yes I just don't want to if you and maybe the owner of the school uniform store clashed just because I had been careless and dared to touch the school's white uniform.

I silently looked down at my palm that looked so fine.

"My hands weren't dirty, neither did they and the school uniform look dirty after I touched them."

I took a short breath and went back to talking, "that woman was too much, if I had the money, I'd buy that shirt and prove to that woman that I could buy that school uniform, too."

"Look, once I buy it I'll just put it on in front of the woman."

"Huh, she's even like a witch girl, it's really, really nasty that she talks to all the buyers like that then I'm sure no one's going to buy the sale."

After bidding for some prices my father and I now decided to step out of the store to get to the bike while I stared silently at the school uniform that I had touched earlier. I could see if the uniform was really cool, pure white and thick pants I could feel it after I touched it earlier.

"Dad! Don't you want to go home?"

The question made me turn to look at the figure of the father who has now been on his bike while his eyes looked at me. I smiled and then turned back to the school uniform that had always stolen my attention since.

"Do you like that school uniform?"

The father's question made me stare and made me look at the father who looks smiling.

"I love that uniform."

"Do you want to see it?"

"Yes, sir. Ari. The uniform looks so good. This year my mother said I was going to school," I said so very excitedly.

Hearing that made the father go back down his bike and re-awakened him at the stake.

"Then let's see how much school uniforms cost!" taking her and then stepping towards the school uniform store made me stagger.

"Do you like this?"

The question came out of my mouth touching the school uniform. I bit my lips, I felt like I wanted to scream so you wouldn't touch that school uniform. I don't want you to be scolded by a witch-like woman after she scolded me for touching the white school uniform.

I scratched my head and smiled slightly as my father also smiled looking at me. I don't think I know how to tell you not to touch that school uniform.

"Searching for your school uniform?" the question made me and my father turned to look at the woman who was like a filter, hah apparently the woman had come.

I looked at the woman in fear as the witch-like woman looked at me with a slightly displeased face and glanced at her like I had a big problem with her.

"How much is this school uniform?" ask the father without further ado.

I took a sip of my caliphate, walking a little closer to my father hiding my face from the sharp gaze of the witch woman.

"What size do you want?" ask the woman to be friendly to my father.

The corner of my lips lifted in response to the woman's question. I don't know why I look so cynical while you look so sweet. Is this how to seduce a buyer.

"What size is this, huh?" ask him while touching the school uniform.

"If this price is 50,000 one sheet and 30,000 pants means all 80,000 plus other equipment such as ties, hats all total 105,000."

"What?" I whispered with a very surprised face.

Everything the woman said about the price of the school uniform was very expensive. You look just nodding and I think you'll faint after hearing the price but you won't. With that much money maybe you can buy some fishing gear and much better than the current fishing rod.

"If this size is like my son?" asked the father while patting my shoulder made the woman look at me from the tip of the foot to my head.

"How many?"

"Eight years, how much?"

"Usually if people buy here always take the age of 9 years so that the clothes can be used for a long time."

"Oh like that, what's the price, huh? Is it probably a lot more expensive than that?"

"Not too expensive, sir. We have a discounted price for Dad. One price of clothes that you can buy it at a price of 55,000, pants and other equipment are all 120,000 he explained make the face really flat now.

I looked up with a completely unexpected look after hearing the price of the school uniform. Such a price can be casually said not expensive. I even felt that if my heart stopped beating when I heard the price, it was too expensive we could even eat chicken if we had that kind of money.

The father quickly kept his fingers away from the school uniform he had since touched casually. I think I know what you're thinking right now.

And not long ago the father looked at me with a look that looked so excited and now I just peeked right behind the father and smiled doubtfully.
