I thought today would be another typical school day. Lots of homework, especially design and technology and a potential maths project loomed upon us. As usual, I lived through the day and took a bus back home after school. Halfway through the journey, out of the blue, I saw a young couple fighting vigorously along the pavement from the corner of my eye. I was stunned momentarily and proceeded to see what happened next.
Apparently, what I saw next made my jaws dropped. As the young man was clutching onto the woman's handbag, the woman struggled frantically and managed to snatch away the handbag from him. At the same time, our bus driver tapped the horn to warn the guy. However, he could not stop the bus to intervene as the traffic flow was very heavy. The guy released his hold temporarily when he heard the horn and the lady took the opportunity to pull away from him and dashed across the road right behind our bus. Oh my god! She could had been knocked down by the oncoming vehicles. But fortunately, nothing happened to her and I heaved a sigh of relief. I reached home safely afterwards.
Whew! What might have happened if she got knocked down by a vehicle? The consequences would be unimaginable. I just really hope that no one ever dashes across the road like that when the traffic flow is so heavy. I wonder whether she got home safely.
