The intensive shaking has subsided as I had felt a hard hand on my shoulder.

"Miss! miss! miss! wake up"

My eyes were half opened as I try to adjust my vision. Someone was trying to wake me up through shaking my flimsy shoulder.

As my rationality coming back, I could recognize a silhouette of a man. He was sitting in front of the driver's seat but his body was twisted to reach me using his right hand.

When I realized what was happening, I was startled and my eyes opened completely. It was an unfamiliar face of a man looking at me. A short faint scream escaped my lips. He was so surprised on my sudden scream that he end up screaming too.

We both stare awkwardly at each other when I fell silent.

When I look around my surroundings, all my memories comes back to me. I remembered that ride an Uber and the guy in front of me was my Uber driver.

All the blood in my body seems to rush through my face. I realized my my humiliating reaction when all he was doing was gently waking me up.

"Sorry if I frightened you but it seems like you were having a nightmare"

I blink three times before scanning my eyes outside the window, there I saw my neighborhood.

I felt bad for my uber driver and the same time, thankful.

"You look so tired, we've arrived 5 minutes ago"

My conscience starts to eat me up.

"I-I'm so so sorry mister driver"

I clumsily take my purse out and hand him a ten dollar bill. I know I have a change but I did not bother to take it.

I grabbed the car handle and forcefully climb out of the car. When I was outside, I close the door without looking on the driver seat.

I was about to turn around and run to my house, when pulled down his side window and said:

"Wait!"

"Keep the change"

"It's not that, wait"

I look at him uncertainly. He turned around and search for something in his car.

A navy blue handkerchief was on his hand. He was was waiting for me to take it from him.

For a pure second of confusion, appeared on my face as I question what was that for. He hesitated but then decided to tell me in awkward tone.

"Take it"

Why was he giving me a handkerchief?

As if he read my mind he answered

"Your face"

'What was on my face?' I asked myself

He forcefully handed me his handkerchief and said

"I mean wipe the tears on your face people might think I did something to you"

My right hand instantly touched my cheeks and surely, I felt a damp stream of cold tears. I stared on my hand that touches my cheeks wondering why there were tears.

Did I cry? but why? I don't remember anything but I feel a heavy sting in my heart.

"It's clean don't worry, I don't have a tissue so that will work"

All I could say was "Thank you"

He started the car engine. I wiped my tears off of my face. Suddenly, he turned to face me again and said "Right, just a friendly advice, try not to fell a sleep again on a stranger's car" He smiled "It's dangerous"

After that he hit the gas pedal and drove away.

I was left on the sidewalk dumbfounded as the reality sank into my head.

I fell a sleep on a stranger's car.

Even though it was an Uber, what I did was indeed reckless. I was so lucky that I ended up in a good hand. I sighed of relief.

The sun was still shining, illuminating the neighborhood. I search for my spare key on my bag.

Scanning my bag, I suddenly had an ominous feeling that something was meeting. I pushed that aside when I enter the house.

Everything was same as I left it. I closed the door and head in the kitchen.

I was starving that I could hear a rumbling sound of my pitiful stomach. I appeased my impatient hunger through cramming everything available and eat it while sitting on a stool.

I try to stuff my mouth full with food when the thought crosses my mind. It was the memory of me inside the car. I want to scream from the top of my lungs when I think about my actions.

"Urghhhhh! Just why did I do that!" Face palmed

Luckily, I don't have to see that guy ever again. I am glad that we are not acquaintance or something.

When I think about it though, he's attractive. Then why did I ever embarrass myself in front of that handsome man! I feel so hopeless...

But I must give him a good review. He had taken care of me. Maybe I should look for his name.

----

"Gosh! where is it? Why can't I find it? It should be around here!"

I impatiently searching my bag but I cannot see it anywhere.

"Did I misplaced it?"

I am wearing a blue pajamas. Since I am not expecting anyone to visit the house so this is the most comfortable one to wear.

"Arghhhhh where where where?"

I decided to hurriedly run down the stair through the kitchen. I opened the refrigerator, the cabinets and even the drawers but I could not see what am I looking for.

"Come on, where did I last saw it?"

I tried to cram my head up figuring where did I left my phone.

I tried to imitate the things I did when I get home and recalling where did I last saw it.


I had no memory of using my phone here in house since I came here earlier.

When I realize something a stiff feeling of my whole body being drench in a ice cold water embraced me.I left my phone on that car.

I flapped down on the counter my face and my hand.

I hope he see my phone and give it back to me.

It has a fingerprint lock screen so he could not open it.

He also does not look like someone would spare an interest for someone else's phone.

But what if he did not see it and another passenger take it?

In reality, no one can use it unless someone good in gadgets reset it.

So reckless of me. I think I just have to wait for a few days, if I don't get it back, I'll go to mall and buy a new one.

For the time being, I'll use my computer to communicate with everyone.

I feel exhausted than any other days before.

"What an unlucky day!
