It’s Good To Socialize

Winny loved socializing with people. She loves inviting people for birthdays and dinner at her place. She is a great host and people love her in every way. And while she was sitting in the cafe sipping her favorite tea she remembered that her best friend’s daughter was just around the calendar and she promised he wouldn’t miss it for her life. But she hasn’t bought anything yet. She thought of buying one that day but who knew something disastrous was waiting for her just around the corner.

The Gift

While she was paying for the order, she checked how much money she was carrying on her. She thought the money would be enough and she knew from where she can buy a gift for her friend’s daughter. There was this garments shop some blocks away from where she has bought several clothes for many occasions. She knew they have 50% discount almost a year. She picked her handbag and started walking towards the shop. She decided to buy the groceries after she has bought the gift. She shouldn’t have walked outside the cafe. 

The Shop

She left the cafe and was now standing in front of the garment shop. She was happy to read the 50% off on the board on the window of the shop. Without delaying she entered the shop. She saw several clothes and after going through every section she chose the one which she thought would look just fabulous on her friend’s daughter. She was standing in the billing queue and was surprised to see that she was short of money. It was very embarrassing for her and asked the cashier if they could just hold the dress. The cashier remembered her face and placed the dress in the near drawer. But little did the cashier knew she won’t be coming back…

Strapped for Cash

Winny was out of cash and the dress was a little out of her budget but she loved it as a present for her friend’s daughter’s birthday. She left the dress with the cashier while she rushed her way through the nearest ATM. Because of the embarrassment, she felt a while ago in the shop she was running. As they say, you should be aware of your surroundings because you never know who is watching you. She wasn’t aware.

Nearest ATM?

She knew the market very well but to her surprise, she forgot the route for the closest ATM. She asked a bystander about the ATM, he told her the route and she was again back on her feet. All Winny could think about was the dress which she thought might get sold if she got late. It would be bad if that dress was sold just because she didn’t have the money. Little she knew there was worst waiting for her. Her life was soon about to turn upside down. Though she was a calm person when she found that the ATM wasn’t in a working condition she was frustrated. 

To The Next ATM

The next ATM wasn’t that far but she didn’t realize the road was looking out of the place. It was quiet as if there was no soul present. She didn’t give it much of a thought and all she could think about was the dress. There was nobody on the road. Where is everybody today? She thought. Winny doesn’t like empty streets and stays away from one. But, today, she was walking on an empty street. She was aware of the past incidents that have taken place on such empty streets from stealing phones to handbags. Nobody is safe and a woman of 77 is definitely an easy target.
