An abashed moment

Priyam Sigdel

Soon after I left my home at 5:00pm and had set up the cardio timer in my fitbit watch which was a gift from my brother. I started jogging and had crossed the temple, listing to music and not being disturbed by anyone. After 8 minutes I reached pashupati temple and started towards the staircase. I reached the top of the gujeshwori jungle, had some water, took some rest and again started. I then was planning to have a 15 minutes physical training challenge which I could set up in my watch . After some steps a bunch of bearded guys with this big height huge body along with the helmets in their hands were standing out there and the way was totally empty. I was so much abashed that my heartbeat could be easily felt. I then didn’t go much far and stayed around the area and started my challenge. I then just had fished the 5 minutes workout challenge.

These bearded guys came at the place where I was working out. I was totally out of mind. What should I do next? Run, NO. They may easily catch me. These thoughts were revolving my head. Then, I saw a police officers’ room where I went and in an alleviating voice I told him that I was feeling really insecure and I was really afraid. So I asked him to drop me to the police station which was around 6 mins walk from there. He then agreed and now we started. The officer had a pistol in his hand and I was totally secured now. After some time we reached the police station and the bearded guys were right over there at the police station. “Good afternoon sir” said the person who dropped me there to those guys. They were also the police officers who had been from EDR for an inspection in Kathmandu.

I then stared walking towards my house and I felt totally silly. But according to time, what I did was really  good. What if these guys were kidnappers who would kidnap me or kill me? So I think it’s really a good idea to inform police officer around you if you feel insecure. I think when people will not hesitate to inform police when they are insecure, crime rates will automatically reduce.
