9: Lost in Bukittinggi

When I was a kid, my father took me to Bukittinggi. We went to some interesting places. At noon, we had lunch in a restaurant; I can still remember I had a fried fish on my plate. Right after finishing my lunch, my father asked me to stay for a moment while he had to go for taking care of something. I waited for a few minutes. A moment later, I felt like I want to pee, so I walked around looking for a toilet. It had been few minutes but I couldn’t find the toilet, I started to get confused and scared. I didn’t know how to get back to the restaurant as well. I was frightened. I began to cry. I didn’t know what to do. Then someone asked me what’s going on. I told him what happened. He asked me what is my name, where do I come from and with whom I went to Bukittinggi. He took me to a tower in Aur Kuning bus station. The police in the tower asked me the similar questions. Then he announced that there’s a boy looks for his father. A moment later, my uncle appeared. I was so happy, a minute after, another uncle came up also. I was so glad. My uncles asked me why I could be there all alone. I told them that I am with my father. Just about five minutes my beloved daddy arrived. I was just feeling good at the time.
