Answer:

The innocent victim!

How foolish I was to have believed that young woman! I saw her first near Lala Motiram’s shop. She was standing there calmly, head held high but eyes searching for something.

I would not have noticed, had my bike not punctured at exactly the same spot. She looked worried. I went up to her and asked her if she had any problem. She was quiet. I coaxed her and eventually, she told me that she had come for an interview for our city. She slept off in the bus and had woken up suddenly at the stop. In the rush, she had forgotten one of her bags in the bus and that bag had her wallet in it. I told her not to worry and told her that the bus would be back at that stop by 4 p.m.

I also assured her that the people here are honest and whoever finds it would return the wallet. She seemed relaxed and started to move. However, I felt bad for her and offered her some money. She seemed indignant and I had to coax her to take it. I gave her my card and said, ‘Take it as a loan. You can return it when you get your wallet.’ Saying this I gave her 250 rupees and went off, happy at helping someone in need. I never heard again from the lady. I had almost forgotten the incident until I saw her again. She was there, at the same spot. This time talking to Mr. Shah, one of my neighbors.

I was angry but decided to act wisely. I walked up to them and wished Mr Shah. The young woman seemed terrified seeing me. I asked her if she had found her wallet. She understood that her game was up and started apologising. We threatened her with dire consequences if she is seen around again. Mr Shah thanked me for saving him and his money that he had withdrawn to pay his wife’s hospital bill.

I smiled and went off thinking about how foolish I was to have believed that young women.
