Swindler's Luck

"It started from the time I helped a blind lady passing on the street which turns out to be a thief who stole my wallet and my heart."

I am Kim Taeyeon, a simple bank teller. I've been working so hard to earn money so that I can buy my own car.I was in my room looking at the poster of my dream car at the wall when I decided to count all the earnings I have from my froggy bank (because pigs are too mainstream =P) I yelled in frustration.

"Aaaaaah...I wish the sky will make money fall for one time instead of rain! My dream car when will you be mine?" I said as I cried like crazy

"Kim Taeyeon! I wish you're helping your mother do the dishes instead of dreaming for your dearest car in your room." My mother yelled from the kitchen

"Yes, mom" I said as I went out of the room towards the kitchen

"Honey, why don't you just find an apartment for yourself instead of buying a car?" my mother said as I approached her

"Why mother, don’t you want me here?" I asked

"It's not like that child, it’s that you're a grown up woman now and you know you have to be independent and find someone to love. I want to see you my child to be happy." my mother said as she patted my head

"But I am happy with you mother." I reasoned

"That's why you never dated anyone because you're always with me." my mother pinched my cheeks

"Mother, I'll stay here with you until I grow old." I said

"Then I'll kick you out of the house, I don't want my daughter to practice celibacy. I want grandchildren...I don't care if you have to adopt because of your uality but I am serious when I said grandchildren." my mother said

"Mom, what are you talking about? I am straight!" I said to my mom shockingly

"Yeah, straight as a ring. I know enough my child, I raised you myself. I've been a witness on how you fan girl every time the actress you've been crushing is on the TV and I also never heard of you crushing on a guy or boy groups. It's always been girls girls girls!" my mother teased me and laughed

"Whatever mom. But I am straight!" I said

"Oh, you want to bet?" my mother challenged me

"Alright, bring it on!" I said

"If you're proven a ring, you’ll move out from this house immediately and get married." my mother said

"WHAT?!? That's too much!" I said

"Eh, just admit it. My daughter's happily gay since birth. Period." my mother said

"Deal!" I said to her

"Alright child, stop entertaining me and do the dishes now!" my mother ordered me

I sighed heavily and do the chores.

After I went to the office, I immediately get my salary from the bank. Gee, money money money and boom! My dearest blue car will come to life. I sighed as I hold my money and put it on my wallet. My officemate asked me to watch a movie with them since it's salary day but I declined. I want the money for my car and anyway I'm not really that sociable to others that's why I want to stay with my mother forever and ever amen.

I went out of the bank, I saw a blind lady crossing on the streets, she’s wearing shades and holding a rod. She's dressed in pink. The stoplight was almost turning to green so I was worried that the girl might have some accident so I helped her cross.

"uhm,  Miss let me help you." I said as I held the lady's hand and helped her cross

"Thank you." the lady said

"Where are you going? I'll take you there." I offered my help

"I am going to take a bus to the market." the lady said

"Oh, that’s my route too. I'll come with you." I said to the lady

The lady nodded and smiled, through her shades,  I noticed her eyes formed into beautiful crescents. She's a pretty girl. We went to the bus station and I helped her get up into the bus. The bus was pretty full so we had to stand together. When the bus started to move, she almost loses her balance so I hugged her accidentally.

"I-I'm sorry..." I apologized as I gap the distance between us

"It’s okay, can I hold on into you for a while?" the girl asked

"O-Okay." I said

The girl went closer to me and come side hugging me. The bus was filled up with people again so she hugged me fully to save some space. It's my first time to have skinship with somebody and take note a perfect stranger. I felt nervous and my heart began to beat rapidly. I just prayed to God that the girl won't notice how nervous I was. I was totally blushing but was just lucky she's blind. She wouldn't see.

"What's your name?" the girl asked

"T-Tayeon...Kim Taeyeon." I nervously said as I haven't recover my composure

"Tiffany..." she said

"Huh?" I asked

"I am Tiffany." she said as she smiled again

We arrived on the market which is a walking distance from my home. She thanked me for my kindness and walked on her own way. I decided to go home as well. I went on my room and looked at my dream car again.

"Baby, mama’s going to buy you soon okay?" I said as I kissed the car on the poster

I get my froggy bank (I told you pig is too mainstream,  why does it have to be a pig by the way?) and get my wallet on my pocket...which was nowhere to be found.

I rummaged my bag and tried to find it but no luck

"FU%# MY SALARY HAS BEEN STOLEN!!!" I cried hard

"Baby,  sorry mama's so stupid." I said to the poster

"I'm not stupid." mother said as she stood on my door

"Not you mom, me" I said as I cried

"You crying baby, I’m going to the market. Want to tag along?" my mother said

Aaaaaaa, that blind went to the market. Maybe she's still there! Maybe she's the culprit!

"YES YES YES! I'll come with you..." I said to my mother who looked at me weirdly

We arrived on the market, I told my mother to just meet me at the exit at 6pm because I have to look for something. I went on every part of the market to look for a certain blind girl who is extremely pretty that is my major suspect of getting my wallet. I started to lose my hopes up and ended my search.

Then I went to an ice cream stall to get some ice cream to raise my mood up. I saw a boy child sitting on her mother's lap, eating ice cream happily. I looked at the mother's face; I noticed she was extremely pretty like the blind who stole my wallet a while ago.
