Greed or Stupidity?

Before the Foo Fighters concert,
darling and I decided to have dinner together.
I wanted to belanja my darling today.
*belanja = "malay" to treat (food, drinks etc.)

I had to withdraw money and the nearest atm
is the one near Flinders Street and in between
all those fast food chains.

It was a busy night,
Flinders Street and that corner of Swanston Street
was buzzling with hives of activities.

I lined up and waited to withdraw my money,
then the guy in front of me left without taking his money.
There was like AU$100 sticking out of that ATM.

My immediate reaction was "Excuse ME!!!"
But the guy walked away so fast that he was lost
in that sea of people walking past.
Then I panicked a little and asked my darling...
"Quick, call that guy back!"

Darling was a bit blur, a bit lost,
didn't know what to do.
The lady behind us was lost too.
The whole street was just packed and busy.

Someone behind just shouted
"Just take the money"

Kay feeling a bit lost,
just stood there and looked at the $100 sticking out of the ATM
which was making lotsa noise at that time.

Take or not to take.
Kay just stared at it for like 5 mins.
Then the ATM sucked the money in and never came out again.

Kay walked towards the restaurant,
still a bit lost.
A bit feeling stupid for not taking the free AU$100,
but I think I would have felt guilty if I had taken it.
