It was a Bright Sunny Day and I wanted to buy an antique mirror for my new apartment.
I roamed all over the streets and markets, found many other designs and patterns of frames of mirror but none matched with the one I wanted.
The whole afternoon I was at the market until it was 6:30 pm and I went to a park nearby. All the benches in the park were full except one. Then I sat on it to realize that it was a freshly painted bench. Oh My lovely dress was destined to be ruined this day!
While I was in a dilemma to ask help or wait until the park goes empty, a guy but older than me, eyes glued the screen sat just beside me, not realizing the grave mistake he has done.
A few minutes later, it all happened just the way I imagined. He realized that he too did a grave mistake by sitting on the FRESHLY PAINTED BENCH! He asked why didn't I warned him if I know about this. I answered, " Why should I get stuck alone? Besides I don't talk to strangers."
After a small conversation I asked his name. He replied, "Louis".
I said with a sense of excitement,
" No way! My name is Louisa! ".
We somehow came out of this situation with our clothes spoiled . This began our friendship and now we call it Love.
I decided not to buy the apartment but rather we prepare a home for us and then get married.
We did so until the mirror came into the picture. He asked me if it is necessary to buy such an outdated style mirror and I said that I want it so much as it reminds me much of my mother who loved antique pieces and the mirror belongs to the antique ethics.
So He suggested that I go to the city fair and may find such type or the same if my luck works.
I heed his advice and reached to the fair in an hour.
It was unusual for a city fair to be nearly as silent as a library. No sounds of joy, no kids with their parents, nothing. Only stalls and shops and empty rides. There was a tent of a dwarf owner and I read the Hoarding of the tent. I read "The Mirror Museum". I enquired with him and there were different mirrors of antique ethics and if I wish to buy any mirror, I can buy it .I was overjoyed with hope to find it at last and entered the tent to find a big room with a down staircase and there were some mirrors on the way which didn't gave antique look rather a haunted one. As I went down one step, the second Step and so on , created intrusive doubts like why I trusted Louis. There were no LED lights but torch lights while my mind had multiple thoughts at the same time. Such a dilemma I was in. Then I found the Last step and it was mind blowing!. Mirrors facing towards me and the room was full of my reflections looking at me.
