Lost Candy

“Of course I’ll join you,” Karen assured her good friend Florence who had been called to make a shopping appointment with her. It had been a long time since they last met and Karen could not wait to meet her friend again for the latest update.

Having little time left, Karen helped Candy, her four-year-old daughter to dress up. Her curious daughter asked repeatedly who Aunt Florence was. “A great friend of mummy,” Karen replied as she buttoned up her daughter’s blouse securely. A sudden surge of nostalgia came upon her as she recalled that it was Florence who planted the most successful sabotage on their teachers during their school days. She was never short of ideas and her cranky ways was most welcomed by all her classmates. How she missed those fun-loving days.....

“There she is,” Karen pointed out Florence to Candy who trotted obediently by her side. Quick mutual greetings were exchanged and it did not take them long to proceed from small talk to other topics of interest. As they reminisced about their school days, they stopped occasionally to select some food items from the displayed shelves. Pushing the trolley cautiously, Karen shared excitedly about her holidays in Canada just a month ago.

It was only after a lapse of half and hour that Karen turned to check on Candy and to her dismay,discovered her missing. That stopped their conversation abruptly and both started to look for Candy in the big supermarket. Calling her name loudly, Karen moved quickly from one section to another. No Candy was in sight. Her worried face betrayed her calmness and she was at a loss as to what to do next.

Meanwhile, Candy was standing outside the shopping department. She was distracted by one of the shoppers whose poodle had caught her attention. She had asked Karen if she could just take a closer look at the poodle but all that mummy did was to nod her head and continue her conversation with Aunt Florence.Perceiving that as a consent, she had followed the dog out of the shopping department and was given the opportunity to stroke the poodle. What an adorable creature! Candy stayed there for at least twenty minutes without even knowing it. It was only when the owner of the dog moved away that Candy found herself alone.No mummy was around and panic seized her. Keeping close to the entrance, she cried for her mother.

Curious passers-by stopped to look at her. One concerned lady asked her what the matter was. Totally confused and alarmed, Candy only wailed louder for her mother. She refused to let anyone touch her and any response from her was barely intelligible in between her sobs. Her tiny body started to tremble with fear and it made such a tragic figure.

Her incessant cries brought Karen to the spot. What a relief to find her daughter. Hugging her tightly, she assured her daughter that everything was fine. Karen knew that she was guilty of having been carried away by her conversation with Florence. It was a traumatic experience for her daughter and an unforgettable one for her.
