When Ameera heard the voice, she raised her head to look at a young girl with dark brown hairs, of perhaps the same age of hers.
And when their eyes met, both of their eyes widened a little, and they rushed a few steps forward. Though, they had different reasons in mind.
"This is Pearl! She is Mrs Smith's cat. Are you taking her away from here? Please don't. Mrs Smith loves her cat a lot." Gwen said with a frown on her face.
Ameera blinked her eyes, before her gaze fell on the white cat in her arms. She understood and nodding her head, she passed the cat to Gwen, who received it with a smile. "Thank you," she said happily.
Ameera blinked her eyes, and she spoke, " Young Miss, you look so much like me!"
Ameera was astoned, as she felt like she was looking at her own image, just with different hair colour, and eye colour.
They almost had the exact same facial features!
But Gwen blinked her eyes, and tilted her head saying, "Really? But you have hair colour and different eye colour too. How do we look alike?" She asked in confusion.
Unlike, Ameera, who had been keenly educated about her own looks and how to present her looks from a very young age and who had a lot of idea about how she exactly looked like and her facial features, Gwen was not exactly the same.
Being young, and still not reaching the age, where she would naturally start noticing her features and pampering herself in front of the mirror, she did not know much. She even did not stay much in front of the mirror. So, for her she basically addressed herself with her hair colour and eye colour.
So, at the very first sight, Gwen who was very innocent in this aspect, was a little confused. And didn't understand.
Though the more she stared at the girl in front of her, the more she felt that she was some what correct.
She also has a small nose and chin like her.
Ameera stared at the girl in front of her wonderment, before she let out a chuckle on seeing that the little girl didn't fully understand.
She looked left and right, before her eyes fell on a glass pane, at one of the shop's door. And she held the little girl by one hand before pulling her with her, "Come, let me show you!"
And saying so, she pulled Gwen to stand in front of the tinted glass door, where they could see their reflection.
Though the first striking difference one could see was their hair colour. Gwen had dark brown hairs, and brown coloured eyes. While, Ameera had golden blonde wavy hair, and light green coloured eyes.
Gwen still not very well understanding, as the other girl looked still vastly different than her, given her way of dressing up too. She shrugged and said, "All I see is that you look so pretty." And that she said genuinely.
Ameera giggled and nodded, "You are a pretty one too. Let me show you."
Ameera had a handkerchief with her, which she opened and tied around her face, before putting her hairs back, so that they wouldn't obstruct her look. And she closed her eyes. And said excited, "Now, little girl, ignore our dresses and look at our faces. Doesn't it look similar? "
Gwen blinked her eyes. And though she heard her, Gwen's first focus went on how the pretty girl called her a 'little girl', when she was clearly the same age as her, and was 'little' too.
Never mind, now she looked back at the mirror, trying to do what she told her.
