After oneweek………
Why , what is the matter there ? everybody running to flat
41Bin the big flat complex? What is the matter, I wonder? I have to baby sit these two toddlers, with
this arthritis, how can I go running down these third storied building, but
what happened, Lord, I feel so angry I
can’t go there and see for myself what the matter is. Now I have to wait till
the next door resident Gracie comes back! How I wish I were there!!…. sigh…….
There, somebody coming this way, hi there, what happened
there, I was unable to go, what with these two little children here, but what
happened?….. why isn’t it that Paruamma they are surrounding. Almost all the
folks are there, and what is that man doing there, tied up to a coconut tree? I
almost feel I am dead, not being there, but what to do……..sob……..
To make matters short, this is what happened there that day.
The teenage girl in flat 41 b was being followed and commented by a man in the
middle age for the last one or two months. As she was staying with her cousin’s
family, she was afraid to tell them of this trouble. It seems that day, the girl
as usual was returning from the computer class, and that man, he said some
thing to her, and he was trying to waylay her in his motorcycle. As usual, our
paru amma was returning from one successful gossip mongering when she saw this,
and without hesitation she went up to the man, caught hold of him by the dress
and hollered. In a second, everybody was there, and seeing the weeping,
trembling girl, and the story that paru amma told them, they manhandled him,
then was waiting the arrival of police. All of a sudden Paru Amma became the
ministering Angel of our little town. What if
she related the happenings that take place in all the houses, she was
there to stand upto the man.At least see how she saved that girl . What would
have happened if Paruamma was not there. I heard that that man was a scroundel
always on the look out for eveteasing. With Paruamma here, almost all the
mother of the grown up daughters feel easy going about, for Paruamma will be
there somewhere always with an eye into everybody’s business, an ear into every
thing happening. Now, all us flat
dwellers and other folks too of our little township smile when paruamma passes
by and we enquire after her well being too…
