My days were going so nice, I was happy with all the attention I was getting. Until the poky day came. Her best friend came back from on site, and came to meet her. He gave a call to her saying he was waiting outside, in front of the hospital gate(did I mention, there is a famous hospital in front of the house she lives in?). As usual she picked me n the mobile. We came out of the housing campus to the street, he was waiting in front of the hospital gate, on a big bike (the machine look of the bike reminded me of my native place, all the hunk sports bikes are assembled there). He looked nice and warm to me. She stood close to the bike, started talking, she was happy to see her friend after a loong time!! Suddenly she put me on the bike, ohh she got a call. Alas.. ufff.. he put that bulky helmet on me??? It hurts!!! I tried to push myself so that I don't get hurt anymore, aahh.. I fell off!!! I started crying but alas she didn't notice me. She is so happy in talking that she completely forgot about her clutch!! Aaawww.. a guy across the road looking so
voluptuously at me. He must be planning to grab me if Shree or her friend don't notice.Alas!!! Unfortunately it happened. Neither Shree nor her friend realized that I have fallen off, and both left. Ohh.. that fellow across the road came and picked me. Hided me inside his jacket!!! Its horrible!!! Shree why didn't you realize, can't you still realize.. ohh she is there running back to the hospital gate looking for me :-) At last she remembered, she is calling her friend relentlessly!!!She came towards the "Clever Thief" (I know his name now: Ganesh, that's what he said on the phone. I wonder how come a person with the Indian God's name can do this kind of activity such as stealing). "Hey did you see my wallet? it's black color and fell off from the bike?" - Shree asked. "No, 
not at all". Didn't look like Shree trusted him, ohhh dear.. her friend also came back with his machine bike. They called the bank helplines and blocked the cards while searching for me!!! She went and asked the hospital admin also, they said they are not sure. She started weeping now. Shreeeee- please charge this guy. I am inside the jacket. Ohhh- the guy took his bike and left the colony. I lost all my hope to go back to Shree. After all I can't walk or talk - I am just a wallet.
Ganesh stopped his bike at the petrol pump and tried swiping the cards, one by one. Ohh he couldn't swipe the credit cards as they have photo of Shree embossed onto the card. No Luck!!! She is clever enough to block the cards the moment she realized I am not there. "Who's Card is it" - Ganesh was scarred. The petrol pump guy is asking with qualm!!! Ganesh said it's mine only and immediately left the petrol pump. He had taken the cash out of me, there was a good amount in there, Ganesh calculated that there is 3030 Rs/-. He took 3k and put a 50 and a 20 rupee note back and thrown me away. Although Hurt and all injured I was amazed why did he put some money back to the wallet? One side of me torn apart, i was lying on to the shoulder of the road, praying to all god (chinese and indian) I have known since my birth, if there could have been any ways I could get back to Shree.
