SOMEONE'S TRUE LIFE STORY AND EXPERIENCE

PART 3

" He later started acting like a changed person. I started managing his shop to avoid him running it down again. Business started booming again and I began keeping late nights on a daily basis because we closed as late as 11-12am.

My mum noticed I was keeping late nights and warned me to stop, but I was too committed to make that business boom again, I didn't listen.

Semester ended and I packed my stuff to go home for holiday. I decided to first go to his shop and then go home from there after sales and also give him the key to my hostel so he could use it till I resume.

As usual we closed so late and on our way home we entered a bus not knowing they were robbers. They were all armed, took all the money we got that night, our phones, my handbag and all my belongings that I was supposed to go back home with.

I suggested going to his family house to lay our heads till the next morning since we had no money on us and his house was more close to us. Besides I was so cold and scared of meeting more harm that night. He refused!

With anger, I summoned courage and we had to trek a very long distance back to my hostel. It was then I realized that my key was in my handbag that I already lost.

I felt so frustrated and broke down in tears.

I knocked on one of my hostel mates and after a short explanation, she allowed me pass the night. That was my first and only time of being robbed. I couldn't sleep, I was in terrible fear till morning. It seemed to be a very long night. I didn't even talk to my boyfriend when I saw him, didn't even know where he slept.

As early as 6am, I was about going to make a statement at the nearest police station when I saw him lying close to the wall in deep sleep. I tapped him and asked him to follow me to the station.

We trekked to that place, wrote our statements and I took a drop back to my home(my mom paid)while he left for his shop."
