Source

Anou is a successful businessman. He owns chains of shops within town and he is known for selling quality products. His shops are always filled with customers. He is also a popular figure within the town.

The yuletide is fast approaching. Anou needs to stock his chains of shops with new goods as he is likely to experience huge influx of customers during the festive season.

Anou decided to visit one of the banks wherein he operates an account to make withdrawals which he will use and pay off the goods that will be brought in later that day. On his way he ran into an old friend Chuks who persuaded him to stop over and have some drinks.

While Anou and Chuks were drinking Chuks asked him where is was rushing to that very afternoon. Anou innocently replied that he was going to bank to make some transactions. Some group of boys were also there drinking. They overheard what Anou said.

After sipping his chilled beer, Anou decided to proceed to the bank. He got to the bank quite alright, made some withdrawals and was heading back to the office in one of his chains of shops.

They wasted no time to make it to Anou's car. "Give us the money or we waste you", said the leader of the operation. Anou, with some trepidation, handed over the bag containing the money to him. They wasted no time to jet out.

Immediately they left, Anou went berserk!!! I am finished, he shouted. My entire savings is gone!!! Oh, God why me? Sympathisers started gathering. Some were consoling him, others were asking him about what happened and his lamentations continued...
