I started to walk alone to find them, seeing right and left while I walk. I used batik outfit that night, and looked like native. I didn’t realize that was a girl walk in front of me while I walk and my hand accidentally nudged her bag like a thief fail to steal. We exchanged gaze for a moment and she said

 “what are you doing sir? (mas nya ngapain?)” .

“sorry mom i nudged your bag (maaf mba, saya menyenggol tasnya)”.

“ooh I almost shout a pickpocket loudly (ooh saya hampir teriak copet)”.

My feels suddenly going down, with a wry smile I say to my own heart “I was almost beaten by all this crowd”.
