My Best Memory

“I’ll go to buy some food, Phung” I was telling my cousin and biking to the food store. “Wait for me here.” I looked at her. She said, “No Pet, my whole body is covered in sweat now, so I rather go around. So I’ll meet here about 15 minutes later. Ok?” I agreed and smiled at her.
But about 10 minutes later, the minute I came back, suddenly Phung said she met someone and that person knew a lot of things about her. Phung took me to that woman, and they were talking, and giggling. I really didn’t remember what the woman name was. They were talking about something, something about Phung’s old friend birthday party. I thought that Phung knew her, but when I asked, she said she never met this woman before. The woman said someone in her family just got back here from America and brought a lot of gifts and gave them to her but she didn’t have any children so she wanted to give to others people. “There are PS3, game boys, perfumes, and many many more. But I don’t know who to give to. I have a good sense of judging people, and I can tell you're good kids since I first saw you. So follow me then I’ll give them to you.” That time I was about 8 years old, so I literally screamed when I heard that. “Do you think we can trust her? Or maybe she just wants to trick us?” I was nervously asking my cousin. “We are smart, right? So why don’t we follow her so we can know more about her. And I think she won’t do anything bad, because there are tons of people here.” Phung said. I believed Phung, because I thought that she is 3 years older than me so she might be smarter than me. I was biking on my old bike, I thought it was kind of slow, I went back home and took another. I took out my new bike that my mom just bought for me. To me, it was the fastest bike in the world. I was racing with my others cousin lot of times. I won most of the time. I went back to meet her, but she said she had to go somewhere so she would meet me in one more hour. I went back home, my cousin and I were telling my sister, Alexei. She’s older than me one year old. We all agreed that we would keep this as a secret, so we could go and got some stuffs. When the time came, I was hurried and excited. My sister and cousin were taking some stuffs, so I went to meet that woman first, and I thought that woman and I could wait for my sister and cousin for a moment. “Why don’t we go first? And later I will come here and pick your sisters.” She said with a smile face. So I listened to her and I didn’t wait for Alexei and Phung. I was following her for about 30 minutes, she took me to go around and around in big roads and small roads. She took me to the parking lot of the apartment, and she said around her house had a lot of bad people, they might steal my bike, that gave me a goosebump. She parked my bike at a side, and then she drove me to somewhere. “Wait here, I will come back and pick your site. So don’t go anywhere, across the street is my house.” I waited there for about 3 hours. I started to lose my patient and went crazy. After that, I talked to a nice man. He showed me where the telephone was so I could call my parents. I called my father, and when I heard his voice, it was kind of strange and nervous. After 5 minutes, he came and picked me up. My father was very thankful to that nice guy.
After all, I knew that I lost my bike. I had learned a lesson that people never give free things to the other with no purpose. And don’t believe anybody if you don’t know who they are. I’m sure that is the most horrifying and unforgettable memory.
