655 Words
*MELANIE SMITH POV*
My gaze never left Barbie's deep sleepy face. Due to worry and fear for her love, she fell sick. Really a silly girl.
The doctor just left after taking some tests on her.Gladly, she was fine.
"Who did you know that the bus I was riding in had an accident?" Angelo broke the silence of the surroundings. He sat down next to Barbie and caressed her cheek.
I sighed as I pulled up a chair for myself and sat down in front of them, "I know nothing about the accident. It was Barbie who knew you were in danger. She ran off from the shop and insisted on going after you. I couldn't stop her so I accompanied her. "
"Silly girl." These were the last words that Angelo whispered and then the room became quiet again.
I couldn't stand the deep silence especially when I had a man around me. So I stood up, "I'm leaving for a while. I'm going to buy flowers and fruits for Barbie. Do you need anything?"
"No need. I am fine."
"Aren't you hungry?"
"I will eat later after she wakes up." He said. Did not look at me even once.
What a loyal and focused man.
“Alright! Then I will be going.”

And first, it was only my alibi to buy flowers and fruits. I actually planned to go to a coffee shop but eventually thought about going to the grocery store directly. Maybe Barbie would wake up after I left and be hungry. I didn't want her to be hungry.
While pushing the shopping cart, I walked around the grocery store.
Actually, it was my first time coming alone in a supermarket so I took a hard time to choose what is best to buy. Besides, I was a kind of picky person. I didn't just pick because it looks good. I also spare time to observe it closely. Well, it was not only my hobby but to avoid regretting losing money after spending it for a worthless crop or item.
I did not know how many minutes I stayed with the fruit displayed in the corner. While sniffing the smell of orange and apple, I suddenly heard a sound of a punch from behind me. Some displayed fruits and vegetables fell along with the loud fall of a gangster-like body. His mustaches were thick and his eyes were a little red.
I flinched at what had happened.
The man in a business suit crouched down on his toes and searched the lying man's body. Soon after, he got a pink wallet out of the stranger's pocket and I recognized it immediately. I was clear enough to recognize it. It was truly my wallet because my wallet and that one being confiscated from the gangster has the same design with mine. Square shape with a hello kitty sticker in front and a green dangling leaves tied in a zipper.
I rummaged through my bag that was lying on the cart and I was stunned that it was probably open and the wallet was gone.
"You are such a big man, yet you are stealing." The man in the suit slapped the wallet on the snatcher's head. "Why don't you find a decent job? What are you waiting for? Scram!
“
The thief struggled first before succeeding to run away.
The man stood up and turned to me. His smile was charming as he turned to me. But it was still nothing for me. Addorro has been the greatest man I knew. .
He took my hand and placed my wallet in my palm, "Your wallet, I am returning it for you. Next time, don't be careless with your important stuff."
"Thanks for your help earlier. I think I need to go."
"But it is raining!" Said the man. "Why don't you stop and rest her while having a cup of tea."
