A few nights ago as I was finishing my addmaths I faintly heard a scream but j just brushed it aside. I went to sleep.
How shocking it was to me when I was waiting for my transport to school and I
found out the screams were from a lady getting robbed. Ironically, it was the very road I walk up and down everyday. Me and and mum just walked down the road about an hour or two before the incident.
Now, we all live in fear. The phobia and the paranoidness whenever I hear a motorcycle. The insecurity, the scared feeling. I thought home was a safe place.
I saw the victim today, legs all bruised and walking with a limp. An uncle I dont know was talking to my kai ma about the case. He says not to carry big attractive handbags, not to doll up and show your riches to the world, stay alert and take precautions. Put your wallet and phones in your pockets if possible and adopt a guys style.
Sighhhhh. I don't know la. What is going on with the world. How to sleep at night when crime is your next door neighbour?
