I went to the nearest atm machine to check the transfer my boss had made to my account. The amount was transferred.
Driving back home I decided to make a trip down to the 2nd car dealer.
I was looking through some 2nd hand benez E200. None caught my attention. The mileage is either too high or the colour wasn’t suitable. I left and went back to my tanglin halt home.
I parked the car at MSCP and head to AXS machine to purchase a season parking for the car just for a month. Went back to the car and placed the axs ticket on the dashboard of the car.
Check through my mailbox and got a post card from Helen.
started to do my laundry. Took a shower before i went to bed to catch up on my nap.
The next morning i went to the market to have my breakfast. I saw a new stall and decide to head towards the direction to take a look. Upon reaching i realised it was siti new Malay food stall.
I queue up and order my food.
She saw me and she lower her head. I notice there is a golden ring on her finger.
My order of food was ready and i passed her three dollars.
Siti shook her hand.
S “abang no need”
Since it was a public place and there was a q behind me. I didn’t want to make a scene. I walked away and went to a corner to have my food.
I presumed Siti maybe seeing someone else. Maybe a regular customer is courting her. I figure it is better to leave her alone.
After the tasty breakfast i went back home to take my car shampoo , pail , polish and cloth to wash the car. This is my only form of regular exercise to work out a sweat.
i decided to drive up to a higher level to have the car wipe followed by a wax after rinsing the car.
I started the car and came out of the washing bay. I went up the ramp to the next level. The car was heavy and powerful. i had to be careful not to apply too much gas on the pedal. Causing the tyres to spin as it is wet after the wash. I went up slowly. i made a slow right turn. Suddenly i heard a motorbike noisy exhaust. The biker couldn’t stop in time and hit my left rear back as he was descending from the upper level. The biker lost balance and fell.
I pull the car aside and on the hazard light and went over to help.
Me “friend what is the rush” …. i notice the P plate on the new scrambler.
The Rider removes the full face helmet.
Her hair fell off the tie up bun , i then realized it was a lady riding the scrambler.
Lady Rider “ I am very sorry , i wasn’t careful” … speaking with a slant.
Me “ miss are you alright ?” … i assisted her to push the bike to aside.
I look at my car and notice only tyre marks on the paint work. Thank Goodness. A bit of wax can solve the problem. Lady rider ” I am ok , can we exchange particulars ? “
Me : ” miss u knew rider arh ? U sure u want to claim insurance ?”
Lady rider ” yeah I have no road experience “
Rats ! Bump into these kind of roAd users …. I whisper under my breath .
Lady rider ” sorry i didn’t get what us are saying “
Me ” I was saying u are better off going to the bike shop to have your bike fix. I won’t be claiming against u , don’t worry”
Lady rider ” I think we better exchange particulars . “
I did not want to argue with her and pass her my particulars. She took some time to scribble into her notepad.
Me ” what abt yours ? “
L rider ” mine is still with the bike shop, I pass u my school name card. “
Me ” what U are a school teacher? “
The wonder so ” by the book” I say softly .
Me ” hey this school …. Is my former secondary school. “
L rider ” sorry I can’t talk I got to rush back to school” ” can u come to my school at 10am tomorrow , with your car insurance cert I want to make copy of it. “
I stood there shaking my head asking why am I so lucky . I look at her outfit and sporty figure . Hmmm very likely to be a PE teacher.
The next day at 10am I arrived. The security uncle let me park after I slow talk to him telling him a lie that I am a parent and the teacher has request me to come for some matters.
Lady rider ” hey mr Charles , that is a lie you told to the security uncle. ” She snap at me.
I was abt to answer her back when I heard another voice calling my name.
Charles is that u .
I TURN AROUND . It was my former sec 5 form teacher.
MadAm form teacher ( MFT) ….. I return my greeting to her.
We talk for a long time and I completely forgotten abt the lady rider.
Lady rider Interrupted…..
L Rider ” I got a class coming , can we settle this first”
After dealing with her , i catch up with MFT. She is now the HOD of English And literature.
MFT : ” she is new here , step on Many ppl toes already. “
I laughed …. Is that so ?
Me ” teacher u know ? “
MTF ” u better don’t speak like that to her , she hates it”
Me ” is that so ? “
MTF ” btw the school is having school alumni gathering for the old boys . U must come. I will ask her to email u the details alright Charles .”
I could not say no to my favorite teacher can I ? …. I Replied back.
Me ” I will be there
