I am fond of Apple iPhones, which are sophisticatedly designed with multi-functions. I can hardly resist my temptation to buy a new one every time a new model hits the market. I bought one last month, but I nearly lost it yesterday!
I went home from my work by bus. It was the time of congestion because people were all eager to get home. The bus was filled with muggy air. I struggled to stand firm in a narrow space. We were always told by parents from our childhood that it’s better to watch our belongings in such kind of noisy and crowded circumstance, so I carefully put my handbag against my chest. Suddenly I was pushed hard by somebody and I lost my balance. Luckily, the limited space kept me from falling down to the floor. After I managed to keep my footing, I surprisingly found that my bag was unzipped! My wallet and my cell phone had gone! I requested the driver in a loud voice to stop and keep the doors closed out of my instinct and anger.
“Who stole my cell phone and wallet? Give them back to me now!” I shouted.
It seemed to work, because everybody stared at me. But there was no answer. I asked the girl beside me to lend me the phone and I dialed my number within seconds. A familiar ring tone was up there! And it’s from the man standing in front of me. I immediately turned him around and asked him to return my things.
He shouted at me, “What the hell are you doing here?”
I raised my voice and insisted, “Give them back to me!”
The ring stopped and I dialed again. No sound. I was so sure that my phone was stolen by him , so I forced to put my hands in his pocket and took out a phone .It’s my phone!The cute stuff to which I tied a little crystal apple!
“It’s mine!” I said with tough and confirmative tone.
The thief flushed; he was obviously ashamed.
“Where is my wallet?” I was full of courage then.
This guilty man had to take my wallet out from his inner pocket. I snatched it back without any hesitance.
The guy was taken to the police station by two strong men in the end.
What a lucky thing! How brave I was! But, fear grabbed me suddenly when I recalled what had happened just then. What if he took a cold knife along with him? Jesus! I should give it a second thought next time!
