A hope
This story happened when I was in year 2. It was in year 2001 so it is a decade ago. I came back from school when suddenly my parents told me that we were going somewhere. I kept asking them what the place was but they chose to keep it secret from me. So I just followed them. We went by car and I did not bring anything as we were going back home in the same day. The journey took an hour and my mind was riddled with a lot of questions.
As soon as I arrived there, I had no idea what was going on. There were so many people there. It looked like a big gathering and this eight-years-old girl had no idea what to do. So I asked my parents what it was again. Finally, they answered me. "You're going to see your idol today." I was like, "Seriously? Dr. Mahathir?" My mother nodded her head. Actually since I was 6 years old, I admired The Forth Malaysia Prime Minister (PM), Tun Dr Mahathir Muhammad very much. I once said to my mother that I wanted to be her second wife. However, I was insane during that time. I had asked them many times to bring me so that I could see him in person. So that day it was an event in which the prime minister came to see their nation and by chance it was quite near to my home.
As the PM arrived there, the crowds were all running towards him to shake hand with him and I wanted to do so too. My father and I then penetrated the crowds. He tried his best to make my dream came true. However, when we were about to reach The PM, my father realized that he had been pick-pocketed. So we went back to our car and fortunately there was a police station nearby. We went there, made a report and back home. I was totally dissapointed as the day that I thought would be happy turned out to be an unlucky day. My dad lost his wallet and I couldn't shake hand with the PM. :(
Interesting, but so really sad. :((
