You used to collect vinyl records, but since the advent of Compact Disc (CD) and Mp3, stores began to reduce their inventory of those musical formats. This was painful because this had been a long time hobby of yours. However, one day you found this small store on 23rd St between Park and Lexington Avenue that still specialized in old and hard to find vinyl records. In addition, they would also purchase vinyl records.
Because you were a frequent customer you became acquainted with the staff and they could inform you if there was a particular record that you request was available and if not they had means to obtain it.
This brought you great job, but there was one other thing that you enjoyed about the store, that was "Chanda."
"Chanda" had some of the deepest brown eyes that you've ever seen and what enhanced her beauty was that her hijab not only covered her head, but cover her face (so all you could do was imagine how she looked underneath it all). What made "Chanda" even more appealing was that you found that you and her had a similar music taste in music (which surprised you because you assume that she would only be into tradition Indian music).
Whenever, you would go to the store, you would flirt with Chanda, and although you felt things would never go any further than what transpired within the store. You got pleasure out of seeing her eyes dance and hearing her laugh.
Of course there was one night (the store stayed open until 11:00 on the weekends) that will stay forever etched in your memory.
You had spent many years searching for the album "Arabian Nights" by the Ritchie Family because there was a cut on there entitled "Quiet Village" that brought back a better time in your life. You had an MP3 version of the song on your iPod Cloud and played some of it and she seemed to like it, in addition, you told her that the album cover reminded you of her.
So, she was able to find it and felt flattered by your comments because the women in the group are all portraying African Queens on the album cover.
Apparently, you got caught up in the connection you had with "Chanda" at the moment and you asked her if it would be alright if you saw her face? (at the time it was only you and her in the store because it was close to 11:00 PM, and her father went to get his car)
She told you: "No, not yet, however."
