Not the First
Shopping Together

After completing the transaction at the restaurant cashier, Wibie approached Rey who was waiting for her in front of the restaurant. Sitting on a bench on the left side of the entrance in front of Wibie's parked car.

"We go next door first," Wibie asked.

Without waiting for a reaction from Rey, he swung his steps towards the place in question.

Rey followed Wibie's steps towards the shop next to the restaurant. A fairly large and complete mobile store.

Their arrival was welcomed by one of the store's sales, a beautiful woman dressed in a slim fit shirt from a famous product brand bearing the name Rara.

"Welcome to our shop!" greet the woman kindly. Both hands were caught tightly in front of the chest.

Her smile is so fluffy. Impressed friendly to prospective buyers.

"Please, sir" he said again while giving a HP brochure from one of the famous companies.

"Can I help you?" the woman approached Wibie.

After Wibie expressed his purpose, they were directed to a mobile phone display on the left side.

"Which one, Rey?" ask Wibie to Rey who has been accompanying her steps since.

Rey was still silent while observing the price listed in the brochure that Wibie thrust towards her.

"It's expensive" Rey whispered in her heart.

It seems Wibie can read the doubts that are in Rey's heart. He closed his body to the girl and whispered

"Do think about the price. Choose what you like,"

Rey smiled thinly. Moreover, he had caught the expression of the salesman who had been loyal in front of them.

"This spect her more complete mbak" Sales pretty it pointed one hp that cost a range of 4 millions.

"The brother is very good. He was told to choose which one he liked,"

Hearing that remark, Wibie's ears were quite hot as well.

"Absolutely no one. Indeed I was that old until it was considered as Rey's brother," he whispered annoyed.

"Maybe it's because Rey's still in school uniform, the other time?" whispered Wibie again comforting herself.

Rey smiled again. He was still confused as to which one to choose. All the phones in the brochure were too luxurious and expensive for their size.

Wibie patted Rey on the shoulder a few times gently. A code that Rey responds to as an agreement.

"Select which one?" ask Wibie quietly.

"I don't really understand a good and complete HP. I just need to communicate and a few social media" said Rey who finally opened her voice.

"Yes already. Means this one alone," said Wibie nimbly while pointing to the cellphone offered by the sales.

"Good sir. Do you want to install the app?" Ask the salesman named Rara.

"Byeah" said Rey.

"Write the email here. If there is no one, we can make it all. Write me the desired postal address" he said, thrusting a piece of paper and pen toward Rey.

Rey took the paper and wrote down the email address requested.

"This is an active email. Just wear this one,"

"The numbers are all mbak".

" Pick a number that's easy to remember" Wibie chimed in on their conversation as she glanced at Rey for approval.

Rey did not reject Wibie's request.

"This is the number, sir. Just choose here," point Rara who directs Wibie on a display case that contains a row of prime numbers.

While observing the number listed, Wibie pointed to one of the numbers he chose

"good. Just a minute, yeah. This is the HP. The box is still sealed huh mbak? We first check the completeness," explained Rara so friendly.

Rara issued a warranty card, charger, and usage manual that was in the cardboard on Wibie and Rey.

"Complete sir. Now I install it first. Please wait a minute,"

"For a while please install WA and google play first. The others to be equipped at home," added Wibie again.

"Good sir,"

The waiter then opened the HP that had been selected by Rey to install the SIM card, also installed several applications in accordance with what the buyer requested.

The other waiter came towards them and thrust two bottles of mineral water at Rey and Wibie

" Please," the woman bargained with a friendly smile and lowered her head.

"Thank you" Rey replied briefly. Wibie simply returned the waiter's smile with no less friendly.

While Rara installs the phone and plants some of the requested apps, Wibie opens a bottle of the drink the store gave them. He handed the bottle to Rey.

"Drink Rey, before dehydration" Wibie joked. Again Rey just smiled and took the bottle of drink outstretched towards him.

Wibie did the same. He picked up another bottle and opened the lid to drink it himself.

Before long, Rey's new phone is ready with all the applications requested. Wibie issued a debit card in his wallet to complete the transaction at the store.

"It's expensive, sir?" said Rey again.

"It has. We bought it,"

"Sorry, yes. Always bothering you,"

"And I told you. All of this is not free. You'll pay later" Wibie said

Once everything is done, Wibie opens the phone and stores the phone number in the contact list.

"This is my personal no. Maybe you need it at any time,"

"The first number on your contact list,"

Then he handed the phone and the equipment to Rey.

"Save it," he said again.

Rey receives the phone and keeps it in her backpack. After the salesman returned the debit card, they paid off.

Many times Rara thanked him and smiled kindly at Wibie and Rey who died at the store.

His view is still fixed on a pair of creatures of God who look harmonious Bey.

"I thought they were brothers. But it doesn't seem to be,"

"The man was so considerate and seemed to have a special feeling for the young girl,"

"What a matching couple," thought the salesman again.

He continued to look at his second step, until they got into Wibie's car and the vehicle drove away from the shopping complex.

"That's a damn guy. Buy hp alone is not considering the price to be paid,"

"What a lucky woman. Can get a handsome, kind, loyal and charming partner again," his smile expands so wryly.

"If God had given me a similar partner, I would be very grateful for that gift,"

"But what is possible?"

The girl kept me thinking and wondering after seeing so attentive and patient Wibie to Rey. Without him knowing that what he thought was in a happy atmosphere was actually starting a struggle that was not like what the result was.

That is man, always making a comparison of himself to the success of others without being able to be grateful for the blessings that God has given him
