To know she has bought this farmhouse with her own earnings at such a young age is almost unbelievable. Not for the fact that it's a big, two-storied house, but also the locality it is situated in. Considering the bus stand and railway station were within a walking distance, the house has to be priced above the normal range.

The moment we walked in, the place gave us a feeling of a European household. It was warm, cosy, and had wall-length elliptical windows. I looked at my parents, gauging their reactions. Dad appeared impressed and mom was openly gawking at the interiors.
