1. 3 weeks ago, we went for shopping. We were buying new bottles for Aisyah. Aisyah was running around within our sight, trying to make new friends with other kids.
2. After choosing the bottles, wife went to the cashier and I will take care of Aisyah. The only problem was, Aisyah was not there.
3. I walked around fastly and started searching for her. I recognised the other kids and asked for my daughter. They said they did not know of her location.
4. I made few rounds and looked everywhere; changing room, feeding room and in between closets... I could not found her. I concluded that she was missing and she was not there. It was really tiring and exhausting; finally, the 2 km daily jogging routine paid off.
5. Luckily, I got experience. 5 years ago, I was helping a couple looking for their missing daughter in a mall. What the father did was, he walked around and told everyone that his daughter, wearing a specificcolored tshirt was missing. Without long pause, he walked ahead and told others the same and repeat. By doing that, everybody became his eyes and ears. So, I did the same!
6. After countless rounds, repeating the same sentences, finally a staff came and told me that a customer sent a missing child to the customer service. It was a huge relieved but I had to see myself for sure.
7. I went there and there she was, eyes watery while eating candies. Must be given by the staffs. I thanked the staffs and wiped out the sweat, and the eyes too. A stupid dust flew in. The wife looked calmer than I was.
8. Lessons learnt; all of the above!
