“Lost and Found”

Lost and found can have a different interpretation for a different people in the different situation. This always refers to something that we have lost and then we finally found it back. If you noticed, there are also counter names “Lost and Found” counter where people that had lost their stuff might go to this counter for help. Besides all those meaning, “Lost” and “Found” are just like other words that probably have indirect meanings like the one we used in literature. But for me, it means a lot and it brings changes to my entire life. This is how “Lost and Found” means to me....
This one fine Thursday, I went out with my special friend and it happened to be the first time I’m going out with a boy, which the exact word is dating. We went to One Utama as it was the only choice we have as it is the nearest and the easiest one to go to. We did what everyone else does whenever they go out for dating. We watched a movie; Fury and after that, we walk and walk until we decided to enter this shop as I wish to buy a new bag. We have a look at every single back there and after a few minutes, I’ve found the one I want: the one which is red in colour. I chose it simply because it is my favourite colour and that’s it. I know I want that one and I stick with my decision although there are still a lot of choices with many different pattern. But I don’t even attracted to any of them and this is practically how I make a choice in my life whenever I need to do so. This is applied in whatever things that offers me option in this world.
Back to the story, as I decided that one going to be my bag, I walk forward to the counter. As I was looking for my purse for money, unfortunately, I found nothing in my handbag. My purse was not there. It’s gone!!!!!! I feel like crying and it is the worst thing ever happened in my life. Besides, this totally ruined out my first date!!! I was in a shocked and panicked at the same time till I couldn’t think straight. I don’t even know what I needed to do next. At that time, I am very grateful to have him by my side. He do help me a lot, I mean it. And with a lot of patient he led me to the last place we went before entering that shop. I remember the last place was Surau and the cinema and that’s the only place we truly stopped and entered so far. Like usual, our searching ended without success. I recall that the only time I left my bag was when I went to take my ablution and it is in Surau. This means that, one of the women I saw was praying probably be the one who taking away my purse.
My mind was blank at that time and I feel like I was in a dream land of mine. I wish this is not what had happened in my real life!!! I’m thinking how I am going to tell my parents about this. “Mom, I went out with this boy and suddenly I found that I’ve lost my purse.” Should I tell her that way?? Oh, no!! I’m totally digging my own grave if I tell her that. Other than that, the thing that plays in my mind was, how would I get my new driving license, my IC, my ATM card and not to forget, my RM150 MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Argh!!! How dare you take my purse!! I’ll curse you!! You will not live your life happily and it will not be a single peace for you since you’ve done this to me. Whatever thing that crossed my mind was coming from the bad side of me. Finally I found it is useless to curse that person as I realised that the past is past. And the fact that I’ve lost it is there, and I cannot simply change it the way I wished it could be and no one has a power to do so. I have no choice that I have to admit the fact that I’ve lost my purse in a holly place; Surau and every single thing inside there were gone too. I laid the rest to HIM and all that I can do is pray for HIM to teach her a lesson of what she has been doing.
After half and hour looking for that missing purse, I would say I gave up finding it but this man, the one that I went out with, still putting his all effort asking people here and there about my purse. What can I do just stand there and look at him. At that time, I can sense, he is a good man indeed, I mean, very, very good man. I have no idea why he was so keen to help me and besides that’s only the first time I go out with him. Then I realised one thing. Yeah! He is the right one for me (this is when I applied my theory of making a decision). My sad feeling slowly gone and at one point, it is totally vanished by glad that I have meet such a good man. Oh, God!! I’ve lost my purse and all my money and document in there but I’ve found him! Later I understand why HE takes my purse away. It is simply because HE wanted to give me a very precious one!!! This makes me believe that every single thing happened have its very own hidden meaning behind-“every cloud has silver lining.” That is how “Lost and Found” means to me.
