Closing of The Year

            Hello, the end of the year. I am back and feel like I wanna write something here. Even though still not useful at all. But on the 31 of December, I got something different from my routine this month. I woke up at 00.12 AM. I thought it was morning already. Then how hard I try to sleep, starting counting from one to something, listening to podcast or music, or just closing my eyes and doing nothing. Still... I can't fall asleep. While doing refund my tickets by phone...then sad again but still I can't sleep again at all. HAHAHAHA Actually I hate that situation. But I still try all the things that can make me sleep. Until at 3.00 AM I felt sleepy again.

            Because of my period, I wake up at 7.00 AM in the morning. Well, I feel lazy to do anything, even just walking outside. I dunno but these feet bring me to the park near my boarding house. So I listening songs with the view of people doing their hobbies. So many times I saw a kid fall down from their own skate or see a couple of old men riding while discussing their work. On the other side, I see mothers doing their work out. So I enjoy observing them one by one. Until the sun gets hot than before. I decide to go home. 

            On the way home near the gate of the park, I saw a young woman having confused with her motorcycle. She shoves the motor by herself. I just passed by her like everyone did before. But a part of me drives me to think about How if it's you. So I switched my gear and come to her. 

"Whats happen kak?" I said.

            She tries to hide the tiring of shoving that big machine and answer the cause based on what it looks like, empty fuel. Random me try to help by shoving from the back of the motorcycle like abang2 that I saw while on the road that has the empty fuel. But it was not easy at all. It was a heavy big machine, not a bicycle. How many times already we have tried from many angles to shove. It does not work. Until I felt the edge of giving up. But in the last minutes, the idea to buy the fuel from the street vendor or mini grocery store was coming up in my mind. It looks like getting easier. #help the others. 

            Well, this young woman gives me enough money to buy the fuel for the requested fuel. After many times I come to the mini grocery store, I found the one who sells the requested fuel. So I buy It. At this time, I should have negotiated with the seller, that I bring the bottle of the fuel somewhere to help others. But I see from the seller's face, she didn't believe me at all. I understand that. Living in this place even wanna help or asking for help from strangers is not easy at all. I try to make her believe in me. I put my own thing as a guarantee if I couldn't bring the bottle back to her grocery. I put on my beloved blue helm hahahaha... She finally understand me, smile at me, and offer the funnel to help the fuel go into the tank to me.

            I came to the young woman, she looking at the phone with the feeling of worries and waiting for the fuel. While I put the fuel into the tank. She smiles. We have a short chit-chat. Well, she did run before this all happened. So do I. Well, helping others bring me a friend for running. Yeaay!

While we tried to turn on the machine, we says our names. I like this moment. I get a new friend for running for the next time.

THE END

 

Whoops! It was a good moment as a closing year, right. Thanks 2021 already having me.

Edited: 

Well, finally I put back the bottle to the grocery store and take my helm back haha. Then the seller asked for the full story of how come it happened. That I know it's not easy to make the stranger believe in you but if for a good reason. Slowly but sure, they trust you.
