An unforgettable riding experience

1It was an unusually hot day.Very tired after football training,I headed to the bus stop to wait for Bus 112 which would take me home.I was beginning to fall asleep when I saw the bus arriving.The sun was in my eyes and that was probably the reason why I got onto Bus 113.

2I was glad to get a seat.Within minutes,I was leaning (倚靠)against the window,fast asleep.When I opened my eyes,it was dark outside.I was the only passenger left on the bus.I could not recognize the part of town I was passing through.I pressed the bell and the bus stopped.I planned to go across the road and catch a bus going in the opposite direction.However,I found myself on a quiet street with a row of shops that were all closed.I regretted not asking the driver for directions.

3As I was wondering what to do,a motorcycle stopped on the road.The rider looked at me as he passed and then stopped a short distance away.I went to him and asked him how to get back to Taman Klang Utama.He smiled and nodded.He patted(輕拍)the back seat and said that he would send me home.Without a second thought,I climbed up behind the rider.He turned the motorcycle around and headed in the direction I wanted.We traveled for about 15 minutes and the surroundings still looked unfamiliar to me.The rider made a few turns and I knew I was hopelessly lost.Alarm bells started to ring in my head.

4I tapped the man on the shoulder and asked him where we were going.He slowed down,pulled over and looked back at me,saying there's something wrong with his motorcycle.He promised to send me home after the motorcycle got repaired.The string in my mind loosened a little.Still afraid of staying alone with a stranger at dark,I climbed off the motorcycle,thanked him and walked away.
