The Fallen Money

Last holiday, I was going nowhere, only staying at home. I certainly felt bored, so awful. One day, my mom told me to buy some grocery stuffs. The grocery store was quite close with my house, so I didn’t have to take a motorcycle to go there. In fact, I really wanted to go for a stroll. My mom gave me some money and then I went to the grocery store for shopping.

In the middle of my journey, I felt like I stepped at something. “What is this?” I said, rocking the ground uncomfortably. Then I looked down—I found a pack of money on the ground! I thought it was about Rp1,500,000.00, what a big amount of money! I wondered whose money was that. In order to keep it safe, I put it in my wallet alongside with the money my mom gave to me.

Suddenly, a man was walking towards me. “Do not expect to own that money, you little thief!” he yelled. I finally knew whose money it was—but he seemed like he suspected me taking his money.

“You expecting me as a thief?” I asked.

“Yes, you just put my money to your wallet! Isn’t that stealing? I’ll call the police!” said the man, grabbing his cellphone. I thought he tried to threaten me.

“Wait! I found this on the ground while I was going to the grocery store. I put the money in the wallet because I just want to keep it safe and I can try to find the owner of this pack of money later. Well… And I think this money belongs to you.”

The man accepted his money I gave, and put it in his wallet. “Sorry to misunderstand you, dear. I have to go. I’m in hurry,” said the man and immediately went away, even without saying thank you. I realized that he was very busy on that time. Okay, never mind. I then walked to the grocery store and bought the stuffs. Surprisingly, I saw that man again inside the store! I thought he was busy! What the…?!

A/N: I don’t know if the story will be continued or not. WHATEVER.
