ah yes... just when i thought it's safer to come home early i get to experience unwanted incidents. a bit, whatever.
i was walking home the other night, around 9:30pm when yet again i was offered a free tricycle ride passing by me. do i look like i can't manage the short walk? this will be the third time that i was asked to join in because the tricycle is anyway on its way home similar to my street, but the only difference is i don't feel at ease with the driver.
the first two offers i took because the first one was a "suki" driver (tricycle that i always get to ride on regularly going to the mall), the next one i also took because he does look familiar and he really lives just within a mild radius from our house, but this last one? it was driven by a younger guy with another guy behind him and they don't look safe for me.
so i declined the offer.
they kept insisting that it's okay their not to harm me or whatever, but i can't get myself to say yes.. all i did for a number of times was say, "no, thanks, but im fine... and im almost home anyway... thanks again..." and kept walking as calmly but stiff and fast as i could. still they kept insisting, reiterating that i don't have to pay and that they find they're wasting gas if they don't have a passenger with them and would like the company, still i said "NO.THANKS." to my surprise they brought the tricy across the right lane, right in front of me. like that's gonna convince me. the more i said, hard and strong, "NO.get going."
when im almost around the corner they finally gave up, (thank God!), mumbled a few, "fine, don't then." and went on their way. like what was that all about?
the firsts were blessings, this last was stupidly arrogant and scary.
glad to be home safe anyway. GEEZ!
