first time shopping

I am the youngest one in the family.So my parents were never sending me outside alone.That day I wanted a book .My brothers were not at home. So I pleaded my mother that I would go alone as I know the path and buy the book and come back promptly. At last she obliged and I took money and left home.It was evening and dusk time.By the time I walked to the shop it was suddenly dark and it rained hard.Electricity was off.I was afraid. Because I had a fat record of losing my way in the past.At Tirupathi ,it rains in one street and at another it would be dry.Streets were filled with rain water.I was wading my way through that running water on the streets.I lost hold of one of my slippers in the flow. As I came half the distance my brother came with umbrella and took me home.My family members used to love me so much. When I joined sixth standard my mother made me wear golden studs. They had blue stone and were in the shape of mango. Till that time I was wearing skirts with attached bodice. Now I had long skirts with thread to knot. So now I had grown up in their eyes.
