something unusual that happened that day

on the 17th of december, i went to tampines with a few of my primary school friends to watch a movie.we were going out because it was a kind of reunion outing and it was my birthday as well. as it happened, a stroke of luck happened to hit us on that day as well. the hottest show in the world was premiering on that day as well, and so we had to book our tickets beforehand. i'm sure you know what the show is, if you don't, you must be living under a stone! yup. you got it! harry potter and the deathly hallows. we were all diehard harry potter fans and we couldn't believe ourselves when we heard that we were going to see the last episode







of the series. you might be wondering why i was so surprised when i was the one buying the tickets. wrong, my parents bought the tickets, not me.anyway that's not the unusual thing that happened that day. this is just the introduction. anyway around 2.35 like that, we went up to watch the movie and you could see that every single one of us was bouncing up and down with excitement , and there were many people like us too. all of a sudden, as if out of nowhere, an old lady of about 60 appeared and grabbed my friend by the wrist, and started saying stuff that i couldn't really hear clearly, because it was too noisy, but from what i gathered, the old lady thought that my friend was her son.at first my friend was like so freaked out(you would too if an old lady walks up to you and asks you to go home with her to study), my friend politely tried to tell the lady that he was not her son, but the lady insisted that he was. out of desperation, my friend twisted his arm out of her grip and ran away, i started to follow him but the lady now grabbed me and i could tell from her look that she thought i was her son. so i just did what my friend did and ran towards him too. we didn't see the lady throughout the movie but we kept a watchful eye out for her, around 5, we saw her again, but this time she had two young women beside her, scared that she had offended someone , i rushed to the lady and i found out from one of the women beside her what was going on. apparently the lady had lost her son in the war during the Japanese occupation and she was so traumatized by the fact that she was now emotionally and mentally scarred for life. now sadly, she lives in her own world and thinks that every small boy is her son. i really pity her and i wonder what has happened to her now.
