Even after she reported to the police, those punks kept harassing her on and off. Once, they cornered her in the back alley of the jewelry store when she was coming out from work. She was unable to dodge, and her arm was hit hard with a wooden stick, swelling up considerably even though it didn't break.
She had to take a week off to recover from that incident.
The place where she lived was not in the same old city where she worked, so she remained in the city of her job under the pretext of work for the week she was recuperating.
She knew that in her family of three, she was the backbone, and if her mother and son knew she was injured, she couldn't imagine how worried they would be.
