He saw in her the virtue of an unmade mind, she was not yet decided on what she wants to be, and she was trying to figure that out, she was free. free as a bird. The way she checked out the spices, the way she smelled the fruits, the way she looked for the expiry notice on some of the edibles, all gave a semblance of calmness, tranquility that was not just skin deep, she was happy. She was oblivious to her body, for her it had always been there, she was not aware or maybe didn't care for the looks she got. she was not conscious of the leers too, once in a while she will notice them and just smile them away. she was complete in herself. She was ready for the world, she was ready to face it, and live life on her terms.
That was how he saw Akanksha for the first time.
