Husband had a food tasting session for his ministry's raya celebration near Berjaya KL yesterday. He went there by office car, so I couldn't tag along to go back to Putrajaya but he said he'll be able to pick me up around 8++ at Putrajaya Central and later to meet the lawyer.
However, they only started eating around 8! I left the office 15minutes after 8pm because the safety officer in charged wanted to go home early last night. Planning to take the 9.10 ERL hoping that the husband was already at Putrajaya when I arrived.
Too bad I arrived before he did. He's still in KL.
I was tired and feeling nauseous because I forgot to eat lunch. I bought a big packet of c0ttage fries and finished eating it in 5 minutes. Please rate my hunger.
It's already 9.30pm. So I decided to take the cab back home instead of waiting.
Putrajaya Central to Presint 17 cost me RM15.50. (Mahal amat) This is my 2nd time taking a cab alone but this time it was at night.
Recited doa and all before entering the cab.
Then, this cab driver took me using a different route I'm not familiar with. I was panicking. The road was very dark and sunyi. It was just us on the road.
Heart was thumping hard. Negative thoughts were pouring into my head. I can't see his name on the card to inform husband because it was very dark. I couldn't remember the car plate number either.
Seriously, my hand was already at the door handle, readied to jump out of the car like how Angie Jolie did in most of her film. Crazy I tell you.
Kept on reciting ayat qursi. And planned on what I should do if he suddenly stop the car out of nowhere. Rumbled through my huge handbag and the only dangerous weapon I could find was the kipas lipat I got at one of my friends' wedding.
And then.....
I saw the Presint 17 signboard. What a big relieve when I step out of the cab.
Tobat, won't take the cab at night ever again..
Pakcik taxi, don't you know that there's a shorter route to Presint 17. Why the hell you took the very complicated one. Haish..
Took bath and went to sleep immediately. Traumatised I tell you.. hehe
I remember in one of the series of 3R, it teaches what women should do when we take a cab alone.
1. Memorise the plate number.
2. Immediately after you get inside the cab, make a real/fake call and purposely talk loudly so that the cab driver heard everything you said. In the conversation, inform the cab driver's name, his registration number, the plate number and everything about the cab to your friend.
Those information given to your friend will hopefully alert the cab driver that if he wish to do bad things to you, he'll be the prime suspect.
Oh well, whatever it is, don't panic. Bila dah panic, you don't even remember that you are actually holding a phone. heh
mmg panic kalo gitu gaya nyer Yaya. Nak tnya pakcik teksi tu naper bawak jalan lain pun kang lagi takut kan/
ReplyDeleteLenkali toksah naik da cab memlm lagi Yaya. Risau.
pakcik tu saje nak pau ko rm15.50. kalo aku, aku tunjuk je jalan nak balik rumah aku. senang cite. kalo dia takmo jugak, aku report je :P
ReplyDeleteKak reen: lesson learned... Takut..
ReplyDeleteNiha: amik cab di putrajaya central same mcm di klia or kl central. Gi kaunter byr dulu, dpt tiket n pergi ke cab yg Q paling depan.. Duit da byr, jd cab selalu ikut jln berbeza2. Ni kali ke3 naik cab blk umah, tiga2 bwk jln yg berbeza
even dah bayar pun, you can still show the way yaya (if you are not confident enough lah). anyways, the same rule applies to all women passengers kut lagi2 kalau gi oversea kan? usually, i memang akan be on the phone when i naik cab. will text my friend first, then call dia just to confirm :)
ReplyDeleteanyways, aku baca blog kau nih, kenapa aku rasa mcm familiar je lenggok bahasa kau eh? macam blog aku haha :p
and again, blog kau aku takleh bukak kat ofis. kau ada buat apa2 perubahan ke sampaikan dia block?
len kali, kalo tgu wan smpai mlm..pastu wan takble amik.. call je aku..insyaallah aku tlg amik & hantar ko ke umah (biasanya aku lepak kt putrajaya smpai mlm).. takyah nek teksi sorg2..
ReplyDeleteAku dulu masa kerja lepas SPM kat Jusco A**** A**** pun selalu naik cab pergi balik kerja. One day, aku naik teksi nak balik umah. Pemandu teksi ni ramah nak mati... Pastu tanya nama la (aku dah setat pelik) then bila aku dah rasa semacam, aku pun buat mende same ngan ko, cuba memorize identity card dia kat depan tuh, aku ready nak terjun jer bebila masa kalu dia xmo benti.
ReplyDeleteThen sebab takut, aku mintak dia turunkan aku kat tempat lain yang agak jauh dari umah aku (kawasan kedai). Bila nak bayar dia cakap "bley i mintak no telefon u?" bila aku cakap tak boleh dan hulur duit nak bayar dia cakap "I tak mo amik kalau u xbg no tipon u"
Then aku letak jer duit kat seat depan, dan terus turun.Aku tunggu dia blah dulu baru aku jalan balik umah (aku masuk dalam 7-11 dulu dan cakap kat abang cashier tu ada orang ikut aku, aku takut, nak dok dalam kedai 7-11 tu lama sikit).
Terpaksa aku menapak jauh nak balik umah... Lepas kejadian tuh, sumpah aku xmo naik teksi sengsorang... Rela tunggu bas jer...
Mala,
ReplyDeleteAku nak tanye, tapi takut.. In case la betul dia ade niat jahat, nanti dia tahu aku tahu.. serba-salah di dalam kereta?
