I was returning home at midnight. With nobody around me and the Big Gong at the Church, radiating frightening beats from a distance. My leg was terribly injured, forcing me to drag myself on the way home.
I was running away from the two robbers who were trying to loot me, but before that, I fell into a ditch and got severely injured. Though falling into the ditch harmed me, it saved me from the robbers as they were unable to locate my position, being unaware of the ditch.
As I was proceeding towards the twenty ninth street, I saw the silhouette of same robbers running towards me. I tried to increase my pace but, but was unable to do so because of my injured leg and subsequently, I fell down. They caught hold of me and dragged me to a corner between two houses where we couldn't be seen by the trespassers.
Luckily, a police van on night duty noticed me and ran towards me for help. However, they were easily beaten by the robbers who happened to be Judo masters. The policemen lay dead beside me and I was staring frighteningly at the robbers. They started moving towards me with terrible look on their face. Just then, a voice reverberated from the entrance of the corner, "Stop there or you shall die unpleasantly."
The first robber replied, "Who are you oldie ? Get out of here or I shall make your face unpleasant."
I tried to bend to my left and thus saw a lady with a strange dress standing at the entrance. She took out a sort of doll with a lot of bloodstains and started piercing it with a nail. The first robber started screaming, screeching and begging for mercy. He said, "Stop it ! Please ! I am going away. I beg you. Stop it !" Sating this, he fell on his knees with both his hands an his chest. The lady took out the neddle and robber stood on his feet and ran away with his partner.
The lady followed them leaving me behind. I dragged myself to the way home safely while wondering who that lady was, a magician or a ghost ! But for me, she was a savior. I knew that day, that I would never forget the lady all my life.
