It was raining cats and dogs when I was waiting for a jeep to ride. Several busses passed the slippery road but I think the driver’s were too busy driving seriously to stop for a while and get me in. My feet seemed like statue’s feet standing for a long time in the waiting area. The wind was blowing hard and was directing the rain.
Fortunately in the midst of the rain, a jeep stopped to fetch me. A smile glanced to my face but I was discouraged to ride and to go inside because there were no vacant seats at all. I wasn’t surprised that it would be my first try because of the bad weather, but I was hoping then that someone would offer his seat for me. Expectedly, no one did it.
Among the people starring at me, one stands out for his humility, but not in the way that he would stand to let me have his seat. Instead, he moved and pushed sideward his seatmate to have a little space for me. I tried to smile for a bit of thanks but only a fake smile did it. I was not that thankful because it was just half of my butt uncomfortably sitting. The only thing that’s circling around on my mind was the hope that at least one would get off the jeep, then, there would be more space to sit on.
Looking each of the passengers didn’t take my attention. While having a bad trip, I suddenly looked at my seatmate. This was the thing that I was not doing every time I ride a jeep or bus, to look at my seatmate. I didn’t know what came into my mind to do it. I couldn’t explain the current electricity running through out my body which tickles me when I saw him. He’s the man I have a crush on. What a coincidence that we’re both riding in the same jeep and specially that we’re seatmates.
The jeep stopped at the street corner but I wasn’t ready to know that he’s the one going to get off the jeep. As my wish, it was granted. The driver kept on moving or driving the jeep. When a girl shouted paying her fare, I felt annoyed with her loud voice. Since she was sitting at the end of the jeep, she let the passengers passed her fare over our hands to the driver. Being excited was my feeling when it’s my turn to pass her fare from my hand to your hand, assuming that I was talking to that man. I wish I can tell these things to him. Then I could comfortably talk to him in person.
All of a sudden, the clock had stopped when our hands were to meet. You smiled at me and I starred at you smiling too. My attention was caught by your smile without knowing that the coins I’m passing were falling separately through my fingers. Its sound attracted the passengers’ ears which became their reason to stare at me.
I feel embarrassed and at the same time delighted with the help I received from you picking up the coins. All this time of the trip, I was saying to myself that I don’t want to get off the jeep whenever it may take me as long as you’re my seatmate. It really chills me to the bone thinking of it. I don’t wanna get off the jeep whatever turns it may do. Even though it might take the trip for a whole day, I would stay.
They said that there was no magic but what’s this feeling that my heart was beating fast? His smile means a lot for me.
The driver drove fast and it shake us all inside. Then, he tried to have his break which compressed us together. I was ashamed when I accidentally leaned on you, but I loved it.
Seeing the person I love was the best reason for me to smile. He inspired me. And I do like this experience. It chills me to the bone.
In the middle of our trip, you suddenly pull the tie and told the driver that he would get off the jeep.
I exist on this earth normally but why does my heart beat so fast like this? Is this the cause of knowing that you would leave me? Why do I feel dizzy? Is this made by our trip in this jeep? Do I have a bump on my head which caused my head aching?
Once he get-off the jeep, I felt this pain. I repeatedly blinked to see what surrounded me. Then I saw myself lying on the sofa. But why? Why am I here? I suppose to see myself riding in a jeep. But why?
This ends with a question ‘’why’’. And ‘till now I am guessing what ended that experience. I was really puzzled of what happened next he got off the jeep.
