A night buying eyeglasses

Not for me, but for my mum who wanted to get a customized eyeglasses for her presbyopia.
That wasn't the initial idea though, she was just simply wanted another standard presbyopia eyeglasses with its both lens shared the equal power.

advised by the salesperson, she(my mum) or we changed our mind to go for a customized one.
the reason is simple, a custom made eyeglasses reduce the dizziness that often caused by a standard one due to the fact that people have different power for their both eyes.
As we are rushing for other errands, we stay no any longer.
However, we promised her that we will come back at night and we somehow confirmed verbally that we going to buy that particular frame which cost RM159.

Here are the pricing for others.
Standard (both side have equal power) - RM 60
Custom made (w/o spring) - RM 129
Custom made (w spring) - RM 159

However, we end up not going because I have other thing to do.

It was another night, this time not only me and her, but accompanied by Cheryl and my 2nd sister, drove nearby to seek for other shops to compare the price.

It is then I realized that there are so much eyeglasses shops around my housing area.
In a row, there are already 2 to 3 shops lining up alternately welcomed us.
We choose the nearest to be our first station.
Not remembering the name of that shop, but the experience over there certainly significant enough to have a room in my memory.

Here is how it goes,
right before we stepped in, we saw no one in the shop,
yes! no one.
Funny is that, we still went in after all.
Amazingly, there is no alarm signaling the door is open or someone went in
and the door is unlocked!

It is then a guy came out from one of two rooms (quite a while only he realized someone came in)
, looking cues from us to see what we wanted.
We told and he asked us to wait as he is helping another customer checking eyesight.
we sat down and looked around.
we discovered something even out of our expectation.
all the slots that use to display the spectacles remain unlocked!

OMGness,
i swear i never saw someone that so not cautious towards his environment.
i can just simply grab the spectacles and run away!
because neither there is any CCTV!

we literally tried out most of the spectacles over there, sun glasses collection especially.
he is really lucky to meet us for not stealing anything from his shop.
we even worry for him when we were inside the room with him,
by constantly peeping outside to checked whether there is any stranger coming in.

the funny thing is that,
he aint any muscular kind of guy.
i even doubt that he is able to fight if a girl happens to come and robe him.

we told him all the dangerous things that could have been happen,
and what he can do to prevent.
the only "security" that he has is to see the reflection from the mirror of the door of the room to check if anyone come in.

i salute his bravery.
i got no words to describe his naive thinking and pure good hearted towards human kinds.
god always take care those who silly,
i guess that is why he still comfortably sitting inside.
or simply, there is god in his heart, it is then he see anyone as god.
