Last holiday, I went to Bukittinggi with my family for vacation. We went there on a night bus.
When we arrived in Padang Panjang, the bus stopped at a small restaurant for a rest. I got off the
bus to get a cup of ginger tea, and my family drank some cold lemonade. Then I went to the toilet.
It took only a few minutes. When I came out again, the bus was not there. It had gone! My family
was not there too. Feeling shocked and confused, I asked a waitress about the bus. She said that
the bus departed about five minutes ago. I tried to call my mother on my cell-phone, but the
battery was running low. I could not do anything but hope and pray. After several minutes, my
wish came true. The bus came back! I got on the bus and walked to my seat. I was so ashamed
when everybody on the bus looked at me. I could feel my face turn red.
