The Day I Felt Like a Robber in a Pizzeria
There are embarrassing moments in our day-to-day lives. We all mess up one way or another – and there’s nothing wrong in that, right? That’s what I tell myself whenever I remember this moment… the most idiotic one of my life.
Are you ready to dive into the river of embarrassment with me?
So, maybe it was in the year 2020. Which month? No clue. Because honestly, who likes to remember the exact date and time they made a complete fool of themselves?
My boyfriend and I had gone out on one of our “secret trips.” Nothing exciting, just roaming around in a car through the streets of Amritsar. That was it. Just driving.
And You’re probably wondering – what’s the point of such a boring date?
Let me explain.
I come from an utterly conservative family. My father – if he had found out I was meeting my boyfriend again – would have locked me inside the house like a prisoner. So our entire love story was lived in constant fear of getting caught. Luckily, we never did. (Well… maybe once, but I managed to convince them it wasn’t me. “You must have seen a ghost,” I said. Total nonsense, but somehow it worked.)
