I was waiting at the bus stop. I was going to school. As usual, the bus stop was crowded with people from all walks of life. There were office and factory workers going to their places of work. There were ex-students going to their part-time job. then, there would be sure had a students like me who were on their way to school. When the bus arrived, it was already quite full but I managed to get in with the other commuters. Sometimes, there were a few student didn't have a change to get on the bus. In other word, who fast he first. When the door closed, I was jammed against the door of the bus. the bus was filled to the brim and there was not even much breathing space. I left stifled and thought I would suffocate.
At the next stop, some people got off and I was able to move inward. But this made my position even more precarious as more people got on and I found myself sandwiched between two very huge men with nothing to hold on to. As the bus stopped and moved a traffic lights, I was helplessly bumping into other like you had learn in physics what we called it as 'inertia'. I could not even see where the bus was heading as my views was utterly blocked by the passengers surrounding me.
But I did not worry as my school was near the bus interchange.You know sometimes when you're lucky to see minor accident happened along the road as you board the bus. I was experienced when there was terrible accident happened, I could see the dead body lying on the ground mercilessly where the fingers and legs were smashed like a mash potatoes. *still look marvelous taste
A few stops before the bus interchange people started getting off the bus and there were no passengers getting on. Soon, there were only about a dozen passengers left and I even got a seat for the rest of the journey. When the bus reached, everyone got off and i slowly walked towards my school.
I could still remember the UTC bus that I rode since I was thirteen years old. I tell a lie if i said i don't care with the huge thinggy. Whenever I was late, the only bus who waited for me until I came. After UTC bus got rid, rapid bus was emerged. Yeah, of course it was hundred time better than UTC. with the air-conditioner, systematic door open and close, the sounds good bell, the big space than ever. But still there;s a lacked. The rapid driver sometimes was rude, snobbish, rubbish, hell-minded and everything around earth you could tell. They were shouting, screaming at the passengers. I guess they actually not own the bus with their father's property tho. I had seen with my two eyes, the driver kicked out the students because they were made a little noise. That;s why I strongly made decision want the ugly UTC bus back. Biar buruk asal penumpang puas hati. I miss pak ya who was the driver bus UTC back then. They way he smiled ohgosh if i could kill the person who got rid of the UTC bus.
