"Ma'am Azari? Tricycle lang po kayo?" 

My heart rate increased when one of my helpers caught me entering a tricycle. I was so dumb to the point that I didn't tell the driver to park in front of my house! Now what?

My parents would know that I'm riding a public vehicle and they will really get mad at me if they knew. I know my maid would report it to my parents. I can't blame her for that. She's just doing her job but my problem is ano na mangyayari if nalaman ng parents ko? It's not my intention to disobey them but my car is at school due to my dizziness last time and mabuti ring maexperience ko ang public transportation.

"Oh ate...." I immediately faced her with a nervous and scared spot on my face. "I.....my car is at school and you know naman po na hindi ako makakapasok unless I would ride a public transportation." I sincerely said. I can't lie! It would just increase my conscience.

"Pero ma'am ang sabi po ng nila sir at madam, bawal po kayo mag public transportation kung hindi ka daw po sumunod, babawasan ang allowance mo po." She explained.

Yeah she's right. I'd lose my allowance for a month. Well that's fine. Money isn't my happiness. They are still obligated to provide things I need but only those things that are necessary. 

"It's fine ate." I smiled and nodded at her before entering the tricycle. 

"Pero ma'am-" I cutted her off.

"It's fine. It's just an allowance." I said before the tricycle started to move already. I almost screamed with the noise I have heard from the tricycle. Is this normal?  Or is it broken? The seat was very crusty and dusty but I didn't care. It's normal. 

The wind was so strong and my nervousness had increased because I don't know what to say to the driver but I told him the address of the school and alam niya kung saan. My Chanel bag was beside me along with my make up kit and Hydroflask. As I reached the school, I saw Brie and Cassy waiting for someone and probably that's me. 

I went down the tricycle and all I can say is that medyo fun siya. I'm just lucky that the driver didn't ask questions such as the 'kanan, kaliwa' thingy.

"Uy si Azari!" I saw Cassy pointed at me and they immediately run towards me.

"Kuya how much po?" I asked when I got out of the tricycle. 

"Kwarenta." He said.

Oh my what's cuarenta?

My hands and my body froze, panicking and thinking what's kwarenta. I got my phone to search for a translator but there's no signal. My eyes widened when it's already taking too much time and I'm just freezing and panicking. Is that? 200? 500? 1k? Oh my! This is a big struggle. 

I didn't wanna ask the driver because he might get mad or something. 

I can't contain my panic attack and nervousness so I gave the driver 500 for sure. "Keep the change po." I smiled and left the driver. Gosh bakit ba hindi ko alam kung ano 'yon?

"Nako girl! Bakit ka nag tricycle?" Cassy asked in confusion.

"i left my car here kasi eh." I said and bit my lips.

"Bakit 500 binigay mo? Gosh nalugi ka lang! Saka if magcocommute ka, sana sinabihan mo kami at nang iguide ka namin!"

"Ikaw lang kilala naming mayaman na nakapagcommute." Brie laughed. "Pero infairness nakakatuwa 'yong gano'n."

"Nako beh 'wag lang jeep at mga bus at maloloka ka talaga d'yan." Cassy scared me for some reason but my curiousity increased once again. "Mag aabot kayo ng bayad at magkakatabi kayo do'n. Minsan ikaw pa mag aabot ng pera kung kanino man. Sasabihin mo rin o sisigaw ka kung saan ka pupunta at isa pa, pag bababa kana, sisigaw ka ng 'Para po!" dahil kung hindi, hindi titigil ang jeep. Sasabihin mo pa kung isa ka lang o kung estudyante ka sa driver."
