A hilarious incident that teaches a good lesson - "Think twice before you act". How a simple act of ignorance can lead to stupor!
My mom got off my bike when I got a call from Sandy, my friend. I was driving my mom to her friend's place for a party and she knew that I had to pick up the call and would talk to Sandy at least for 15 minutes.Some boys were roaming around in the street and I felt that they wantedly walked by my side. I kept on talking on the phone and noticed that they were watching me but it didn't bother me.
People stare!
After a few minutes when I finished, I moved my hand to start the bike but I couldn't find the key! The key was inserted but it wasn't there at the moment. I looked for my mom but couldn't find her too! Then it struck me that she had gone home. She made gestures showing that she is going inside the house. I just didn't know where the key was.
I looked at the boys and they were still staring. I understood that they had taken off the key. I was surprised and just couldn't understand what to do. I called out the shop owner of the side shop. He was talking to another man in the shop.The owner of the shop knew me well and so he came out to help me. The boys ran away seeing the shop owner come out and just then my mother too had come into the scene.
My mother asked me what had happened and I said her that the bike keys were with those boys. And what she said next, stunned me. "The key is with me," she said! Uncle started laughing and I felt really embarrassed. My face was red with embarrassment and anger too! Couldn't my mother inform me that she was taking the key as well. She said that I told you "Iam taking the key as the house door key also is with it. You didn't listen."
And by this time that another man had gone to bring the boys back! Mom said the man that we had got the keys and apologised the boys for the inconvenience. The boys weren't vile at all. They just went away without causing any ruckus. I then apologised for the mess I had created and fled away.
