Honest Mistake?

I still don’t feel well today so I instructed my “angel” to pay all the bills on my behalf.  Every bill and corresponding cash payments are well arranged and explained except for my credit card bill which I didn’t attach money ‘cause I  indicated a ‘debit  my savings account’ mode of  payment.  I am sure, it was well explained too, to my “angel”. 

I have a little fear that there would be snag somehow, coz this is her first time for this kind of instruction.  And I was right!  When she came back, I found two bills without corresponding receipts.   “Why so?” I asked her.  “ It’s because the teller in the bank asked for the cash.”  She replied.  That explains why she was short of cash to pay those bills.   I quickly checked the payment slip what mode of payment is registered.  It’s very clear, my savings account was debited.  And still, he asked for the cash from this innocent looking house help of mine.  Dang!  I was really mad!

Despite slight fever, nausea and all, I rushed to the bank and confronted the teller. I was expecting a logical explanation but all I got was a plain “Sorry po!” and the cash refund.   Yeah! That is all he could give.  Couldn’t help raising my voice coz I want an explanation.  But he just left his cubicle and pretended to be busy of sort.  Grrr! 

The lady teller on the next counter, whom I knew quite well, was very apologetic.  If not for her, I would have had reported his offensive response.  All I want is an explanation but what I got is “dedma”  (being blatantly ignored).  Nonetheless, I just keep my cool!  This male teller is a new face in the bank.  The big question to me is, did he do it with intent or is it an honest mistake?  Why turn his back on me rather than explain?  With those hanging questions in my head, I give him the benefit of the doubt.
