My girlfriend always used to complain how I never got her any nice gifts. She would keep telling me about how her friends got thoughtful, expensive and loving gifts. I realized that she was trying to give me a hint to get a nice surprise gift for our anniversary which was coming soon. So I began to listen closely for any other hints or suggestions for what she requires or would love to have, so that I could buy it for her. This would help me gain lot of brownie points for the future and make her happy. Soon it was clear from her small actions or suggestions that she was looking forward to getting some nice Indian traditional dress. He knew well that she was not the kind of girl who liked wearing saree, she had go really angry once when she had got one from her family. I decided to pick the next best thing I found girls wearing in a marriage video. So I finally decided to get some fancy and designer lehenga choli for her.
It seemed like a great idea until the time I went to the designer store. I found out that all of them were beyond my budget. The salesgirl there told me that may be I should try online marketplaces or exchange sites where they may be selling second hand dresses that people have only wore once on very special occasions. She even gave me a link for one that had been working best for a lot clients to resell the dresses they had bought at her shop. I thought I would buy a dress from the that marketplace and get it drycleaned before gifting. This way I can gift my girlfriend a very expensive dress without it burning a big whole in my pocket.
I visited the website that very day and found an extraordinary deal on a dress which was being sold less than half price but had not even been wore once. It seemed a complete steal so I called up the owner in the ad and a middle aged woman answered the phone. She asked me to come tomorrow to her place and view the dress before buying it from her. The address was a house located in the outskirts of the city but the money I was making in discount was way more than transport cost so I didnt mind. I took a bus there the next day and finally found the house in the middle of nowhere. It was a single house in the entire plot of a huge housing colony that was constructed till now. It was strange to live in a place with no inhabited land or house nearby. I was feeling a tingling feeling in my gut a bit of fear but I ignore it and decided to ring the bell as I was already here.
