" I thought about his wallet was stolen by someone". Nisa answer.
I nervously asked ine more time to him, "Hey, what happen with you?"
"Someone steal my wallet at the street. He took my wallet when I still waited the bus." he said and sigh heavily.
I gave suggestion to report it to the police officer. He looked restless. "If you report it to the police, I'm sure you will know who is the thief." I said to him. After walked back and forth, he was sit uncomfortably in a bench. He sit beside me. He looked at me full of hoped. I try entertained him when he was sad.
"Really?" he asked. "But i think that's not a good idea," he continued. I was staring at him right now. "Maybe" I answered. He shift to another position, still not real sure what he wanted going to do. And he sigh heavily again. But he didn't looked confused anymore.
