It's Either You Or No One

When jasmine checked back at the wall clock, it's already past eight. She's been trying to reach her granddaughters since an hour plus, but yet none of them picked up the calls. Infact, they turned off their phones, which made jasmine became more worried. Her hair by now is now a total mess like she was struck by an electric. Hmm, yeah. Maybe electrocuted. Frustration has a lot to do with that. I guess. She grabbed the second iPhone 14 which her son, Justin, had bought for her few weeks ago before leaving for L.A, from the glass center table. At once within a blink of an eye, she began dialing her son's number.

Hypertension of getting caught

Slovenia

The Zupančič cottage

Zoraya zoomed into the room like a thief in the night. Immediately her family saw her and the way she barged in, they quickly stood up and ran away.

They thought someone or the cops might be after her or something. But what amused them after realizing that there was no one after her, was her looks and the beautiful expensive clothes she was wearing.

Her mother Snežana frowned confusedly as she began leaning towards her daughter.

Who is this? And what is this person doing in their zone? Did she missed her way or something? Is she seeking someone in this vicinity? Snežana began to wonder as she drew closer while the others stood afar off.

The expensive bag she was holding was enough to buy their haunted home and everyone therein. And not to talk about the heels on her feet.

Everything on her body to toes where that of the high top class people. Elegant and exclusive.

Zoraya stood in confusion. She wondered why are family are so far away from her. Have they completely denied her? Her mistaking her from someone else? Why did they ran away all of a sudden?

There are seven big shopping bags in her hands, she placed them on the ground and smiled at her mother. "Mom, grandma, aunts, it's me, zoraya."

"Zoraya? Is that really you?" They asked in confusion. Still wondering if it was an intruder or imposter.

Zoraya vigorously shook her head, "Of course it's me."

.....

After settling down and explaining all that happened and how she got these expensive things, her family covered their mouths with both hands and gasped surprisedly.

"What if the police had caught you, do you know that was a big risk?" Kája asked.

"My darling zoraya, that was dangerous. You shouldn't have done that. Beside the penalties that goes after that once one is caught is behind bars for life." Snežana added.

Zoraya sighed in dejection, "What would I have done? And if it was to be you, tell me what would you have done? Just put yourselves under my shoe for a minute. The man did pay me according to our fixed price. He divided my pay and insulted me too."

Her grandmother Mojca patted her back, "Welldone my dear, you are now a full grown expert in this business. During my tenure, men were so greedy and stinging. So many did the same to me and yet I couldn't get the chance to carry out my operational revenge on them as you did."

Zoraya smiled and hugged her grandmother.

After zoraya away from the hotel, she realized that the cops and FBI were all over the vicinity and express in search of her.

What do you expect? The money she stole was massive and alongside the wallet containing two credit cards. They were so important to the victim that the police had to spilt all over the whole place just to get her.

She ran to a nearby boutique to quickly change her clothes and looks. With the money with her, she was able to pay up everything she bought.

On her way out, some of the police officers and inspector, came into the same boutique she had shopped just to investigate. She passed them and none even recognized her.

Immediately she left there, she took a cab and off to her resident.

Passing each bags to them, zoraya smiled, "Hope you guys love it?"

"Of course we do!" Her aunties beamed.

Snežana pulled her into an embrace and pecked her forehead, "I'm so proud of you my dear. You did what no one has ever done in this family for years."

Thinking for a while, "But zoraya, don't you think the police will ever trace our location down here?" Her aunt kája asked cautiously,

Zoraya laughed and held her belly like it was going to explode, "Oh aunt, don't be ridiculous. I never gave our details or information to any of my customers, so why the hypertension of getting caught?"
