Twelve In A Row Part 11

The Tricycle Man

Magically we did our buying for just a few seconds not because we knew the different sections but it was because we have to catch up for the ride otherwise , we have to stay overnight in this area.

My hubby and I sought  refuge from the “sala” or the waiting shed while waiting for the bus. It was getting dark  and it seemed we had missed the trip. 

We  patiently waited for any  ride when we spotted one bus  that was just abut  to a trailer .  Koko and I waived our hands for a stop but unluckily we missed it again! The trailer ahead covered us so, the bus driver didn’t see us. Huhuhu  what should we do?

We didn’t lose hope and this time we called out for any cars or vans.  It was really getting dark and the only light we had was the light from Tesco park.

We were seen by some tricycle drivers . One Samaritan  driver came to us and offered his tricycle for 80 baht but I bargained for 50 Baht since normally it  only cost 40 Baht but he didn’t agree. He assured us that there’ s a late bus coming by 8.00 p.m . We would have agreed to his  wise decision to better go to the bus station but how about if we meet the bus along the way?  We couldn’t decide at that very moment. The tricycle left us and directed us where to find him in case we would decide to take the ride.

Our parasites started to bother us so  we decided to go back  to Tesco for a quick dinner  but before we stepped in  ,the free Tesco - tricycle  arrived and dislodged  . We were lucky that this free-Tesco tricycle is still on duty so we took advantage. We went to the bus station for  free!  (NO more tricycle for 80 Baht.)

At The Mobile Shop

Whew! What a nice cool soothing  air greeted us inside the mall.

We hurriedly took the escalator to the mobile shop. I couldn’t wait to get back my cell phone. I missed it soo much.

 Koko gave the operator  the claim stub.  The latter checked my cell phone and there was it. He smilingly handed my I- mobile phone .  I couldn’t explain how excited  I was . I checked  the cell but, Uuuugh  I was despaired . The distracting waterfall like sound coming from a high elevated place  wasn’t totally eliminated. Before the sound was soo disturbing that the other line couldn’t be heard clearly plus it irritates the eardrum. I told the seller to change the item or even better give back my money since it was  newly bought but  the shop doesn’t agree with my idea. But worst my anger was ignited when the seller told me I had  to be thankful  for there was a bit improvement in my phone. But what I like was, my phone should be functioning  well  like other cell phones do . It didn’t help even if I complain for looong hours. I gave it back to the operator for another examination while we did  some shopping since we’re rushing.  Why on earth we have to rush these days?

Magically we shopped everything we needed without missing our boxes of apple ciders.  We really loved those and what a surprise ,I forgot my bad mood. Thanks God I felt a great relief.  Tip toeing to the mobile shop  I closed my fingers and prayed.  Reaching the counter, the other sales lady greeted us with a piquant face with a large appealing eyes.  I smiled at her ,too.  My phone was freed from the virus!

Whew! Peace everyone. I am happy to go back home

Inside The Van

At 1.30 pm we left Victory Monument . It was comforting for me inside the van after we're  exhausted to extreme heat outside waiting for this ride.

I took the chance to sleep. I couldn't really explain how weary I was after those travels to Ratchaburi and now we're to be back to our place. After an hour , we stopped by a petrol station. Every passengers comforted themselves then the driver checked his list of the passengers as well as their exact destination. He noted it well  for the passengers' comfort but along the way , I couldn't sleep since he had a lot of callers .  He hang up but another line came in. Oh, if I couldn't control my mouth I'd tell him to concentrate driving instead of chatting and munching his junk food with his cup  iced coffee. I didn't  know if some passengers felt secured with this kind of driver. Sometimes he caught my eyes at his mirror side but couldn't sense what I was blazing at.

Good for some passengers they reached their destination already. I looked at the window, Yeehey!, in ten minutes more we'll be at TESCO,too.  10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Oooops! Stop! Stop. Huhu the van driver forgot about us.  I got mad and I tapped at his his shoulder to stop. It was late we passed by TESCO  for about  200 meters. I complained  because he wasn't attentive enough. YADAH YADAH!

Koko slided the door and we got down without closing the door due to  my anger.  Let him go down the from his throne and closed the door by himself.

Oh , It was sooo  hot !
