How someone you knew, abused your, trust…translated…
My wishes are not huge, I'd hoped to own a small place up in the mountains after I retire. And so, I'd, kept myself on a very tight leash on my spending, to NOT dream of the extravagant, and NOT do anything that I couldn't, handle; I'd worked hard, step by step, and accumulated up my funds, imagined my life of ease and leisure after I retire, to have that beautiful sunset available to me in the, golden, years.
And in the end, it wasn't the beautiful sunset that came to me, but instead, it was, the dark clouds, hovering over my elderly years, with the never ending, nightmares. For more than a decade, I'd kept introspecting, WHAT, did I do wrong, being law-abiding, not the least bit greedy, to be punished by God.
The incident occurred in my originally unfamiliar coworker, A, because we shared similar retirement plans, we'd grown acquainted. A told me, that she owned a hillside lot in Longtan, Taoyuan, she'd had her sight on it a long time, wanted to build a couple of small cabins there, to stay or to rent out, that she was finding someone to share the rent of the lot with, that it wasn't stealing, robbing, nor scamming, that it's the best way that retirees can keep their money safe and sound. A had shared with me excitedly, "Look, I even have the builders;' map, but the problem is, that with my retirement pensions, there's only ten million dollars N.T., if you can put in another ten million dollars N.T., then, the plan can go ahead.

I'd checked out the hillside lot, thought on it, slept on it a few, days, plus, we'd worked together for more than twenty years, I'd not even signed a contract with A, and I'd, filed for retirement in a, hurry. As I picked up my retirement pension check, and the slips of withdraw of my bank accounts, A gave me a huge grin, told me, "everything will be fine."
Then, the problem occurred. A vanished out of thin air, completely, disappeared from, Taiwan, and the news of her, sent me on a, wild goose chase. What's awful was my ten million dollars N.T., that was what I'd managed to save up from my years of working hard, my retirement pension, my money to live off of for the rest of, my, life. I hated A, hated myself too, and blamed god: why did you have to be so cruel to someone who's honest her whole, life?
Because you were, too trusting, because the woman shared your same dreams, or so she said, and, there must've been signs that led to how you got scammed from before, but you'd, trusted someone who's bad, and now, you don't have, any money for your, retirement, and it's a lesson learned, too, late for you…
