Regret after Bravery

Many people think that traditional market is place that we can get all things in fresh and the price is cheap than modern market. Although traditional market looks dirty but some people still chose this place for fulfill their life necessity. Even thought there are many people around this place, crime action like stealing still happen and never known by other people. Surprisingly, I saw with my own eyes at that time and I tried to believe that there was person who did it without feel guilty.

In the morning at 06.00 am, I was called by my mother to wake up because she gave me duty to go to market to buy some vegetables and meal for lunch and dinner. I washed my face and came to take money. The market was not so far and I walked away with my sister. There were so many people around the market and too late for me got fresh vegetable. I tried to through the space fast. Finally, I was the winner in competition for wresting vegetable and let them fight. I looked my sister bargain fish and approached her for some helped. Although the fish seller told that her fish was cheaper but I think twice to buy it. I thought Rp. 20.000 was really expensive for 1 kg little fish. I went home and asked my mom. She dealt with the price and I was back for second time.

On a to-do that I could not see clear face, there was woman touched my shoulder and said “what were you looking for?” I was surprised and addressed her at the same time. I could not answer her question because she just said hello and she was gone. I saw a woman carried big bag and joined to take part to buy meal. There was nobody who could see the action of women. I pretended to secure myself in order she did not see me when I observed her. I was shocked with what the women did, she stole a lot of eggs, sugar and oil after that she ran away without pay any money to the seller. Suddenly my sister reached my hand and we went out from that place.

I still thought about it until I arrived at home. It was so punch me because usually it did not common. Why she did not thinking before doing that, there was alternative way to avoid from that action. Stealing something would be given much sin. I was going to be headache thinking about that. I could not hide and annoy myself. Courageously, I approached my mother and told the story being done by the woman. I could not believe that my mother just smile while hearing what I said. There was nothing funny in the tragedy but my mother going to be crazy because she smiled at me, and spoke to me. She knew all the thing happened in that place, it had been continued for long time. There was nobody could stop it. Because they already knew the person who stole was person in low prosperity. I took a bow and through the worst experience in the traditional market.

Now, there are so many crimes happen in the world. It becomes dangerous because the doer can steal everywhere when the victim can realize the existence of the doer. However there are many question rises from my mind. Why do they sealing? What the advantage by doing the action? Finally, I decide to courage myself to speak out if I see stealing action happen again.

Luckily, I never meet the woman again when I go to the market. I wish the woman realize about her wrong habit and there is no generation will do the same thing. It likes Hendry Louise Gate statement when he met Mr. Wilson “ I have a hard time looking her in the eyes”.
