"Implications: What Saved Me From the Abyss"
Hello everyone,I am super excited to participate in the free writers community #daily-prompt.
"I never thought one decision could change everything. But there I was, standing in the wreckage of my choices, wondering if survival was even possible."
It all happened some years back when I was working in a hotel as a front desks manager. Moreover,working in a hotel is one of the best thing that has ever happened to me in that I had a lot of experiences, exposure, customer relations etc I went to work on a rainy day arriving my place of work late due to the rain.I went straight to the dressing room changed up to the companies clothes which means I am set for work.Going to the front desk office,I did not see my colleagues that I was supposed to take over from so i was skeptical whether to enter and work or to talk to my boss, while I was contemplating on what to do a guest work in, so I stepped in to help the the guest to get an accomodation.I mandated the porter to take the guest around to see the room's that were available,that means I started work without taking over from somebody,talking to one or two persons I discovered that my colleague left because I didn't resume in time to take over duty from him.At the close of work the next morning because I was on night shift, going to the cashier to do my daily returns I was told that the manager wanted to see me, so I rushed to the manager's office only to be told by the manager that a guest complained that his briefcase was tampered with and the sum of one million naira was stolen while I was on duty.I was shocked and surprised, devastated and tears rolling down my eyes, before I could say Jack Robinson it was a talk of town and bout the Chairman and Manager were disappointed in me.so all I could do was cry like a baby,I was implicated on a crime I did not commit, something I know nothing about. They police were invited for investigation and I went through a lot but as fate or luck will shine on me.There guests whose money was stolen had CCTV cameras in his room.After two weeks of subjection to shame and ridicule etc.He called me one morning and told me that I am a good person then he took me to the Chairman's office and the police were invited then they video was played.which showed how my colleague went into his room broke his briefcase and removed the money. I was so happy that I shouted and ran round the whole building seven times.You don't really understand the joy that filled my heart, that was how I was vindicated.He was arrested,apprehended and charged to court.
All the people that mocked me came begging for forgiveness, with an apology.
An experience I will never forget so fast.I don't wish even my enemies to be implicated.
