I was hankering after that gown since I watched a movie where the ruler of the dominion wore it. As the result, I asked the permission from my parent to go to the mall to buy it. I rattled my piggybank before i took out the money. After that I went out and hailed for a taxi. When I reached at the boutique that sold that gown, suddenly I felt it was pretentious to wear it during Hari Raya.
