I still remember that day like it was yesterday. I had been working in Jurong Arcade for about a year, and I had grown accustomed to the hustle and bustle of the crowds.
It was a typical day, and I was doing my usual rounds when I noticed a man staring at me from a distance.
At first, I didn’t think much of it and assumed he was just another customer. But as the day went on he kept appearing in different places, and I began to feel uneasy. I had seen him a few times before, but this time he seemed to be following me.
He never spoke to me or tried to approach me, but I had a feeling he was stalking me. I tried to ignore him, but it was hard not to feel scared. I was worried that he might do something to me, so I started to take precautions. I would always be aware of my surroundings and make sure someone was with me when I was out.
One night, I was closing up the arcade and was about to leave when I saw the man again. He was standing outside the entrance, just watching me holding a bag of potato chips. I quickly ran back inside and told my colleagues
When my male colleague questioned him, he claimed that he was in love with me. He said that he just wanted to be with me and that he had been following me around because he thought it was true love.
It was a frightening experience, and it made me realize that I needed to be more careful. I had been naive to think that the man was harmless, and I was lucky that the police were able to intervene.
The man was warned not to come back or we will call the police. He was also barred from entering the arcade.
This experience taught me a valuable lesson. I always thought that true love was something special, but this man showed me that it can also be creepy and dangerous. Now, I’m more cautious around strangers and always make sure that I’m not putting myself in a dangerous situation.
Stalking is a serious crime, and it can have serious consequences for both the victim and the perpetrator. I’m glad that I was able to get the help I needed and that the man was punished for his actions. In the future, I’ll always remember that true love should never be mistaken for stalking.
