So today, I was rushing back because i have to do tons of work so I decided to take a bus in no time. My mind is filled with lots of things that I have to worry about and I thought that I've place everything in my laptop bag. Right after work, I took a bus to LRT Universiti and knowing that I've place my public transport cards in my bag because I often travel around using public transport. Halfway to LRT Universiti, my friend called me and told me that I've left my purse in college. i was so surprised and I didnt know how to react, the only thing that came out from my mouth was "shit". knowing the fact that i couldn't go back to college because I was on the highway so my friend said that she would pass it to me tomorrow. Thank God for that and I was so relief. if it wasnt for my friend, i wouldnt have known. at the same time, if i were to go back to college, it may take me longer and knowing that I reloaded one of my rapid card not long ago so I told her I can survive because I reloaded my card and will be able to reach home.
The bus dropped me at LRT Universiti and the moment I scanned the card that I reloaded, it didnt accept and stated there was an error, then I tried my second card (for back-up), Second card only left RM0.70 so I couldn't pass through. So, I went to the counter and told her that my card (the first card, the one I reloaded) have a problem and she couldn't help me and told me to go to KL Sentral to get my card fixed. I was like... "Seriously? ._." But how is that possible? Earlier I could use it on my bus fare and now my card isn't working. I didn't have any money, not a single cent with me but receipts and a heavy laptop bag consists of laptop, thick file, papers, notebook and chargers. I tried contacting but my phone couldn't reach out to anyone. I couldn't even text and call anyone because of my line. It was so bad till I had to restart my phone about three times and it didnt work. It was still the same. I whatsapp-ed my friend if my friend happened to be around/near LRT Universiti but I receive nothing. I didn't have a choice as time was running out and it was 8:05pm. I told myself, "hey, stop wasting time and do something". I didnt have any cash, phone line died and having public transport cards that died on me, I made a decision to walk from the LRT Station to my house (which takes up 5.4km according to the map from the LRT station to my house).
I was so afraid but I told myself to keep walking and not turn back while carrying such a heavy bag. Prayed for strength and protection, I felt his presence whenever I was walking in a really dark, lonely area. I prayed and kept looking back to see if anybody's following me. I am surprise I manage to survive without stopping and I didn't stop to drink water (the fact that I didn't bring water with me and walking on hills and bumps was really tiring especially carrying such a heavy bag. Surprisingly, I wasn't tired and kept walking all the way) it was really dark and I had to look back if anybody's following me especially motorcycles and vans. I had to be aware of my surroundings and knowing that I will reach back safely. My heart was enlighten with positive thoughts, i can feel God. I felt his presence as if he was beside me whenever motorcycles and uncertain cars/vans passed by.
It took me at least an hour to reach home from the station to my house. I reached home around 9:10pm. It is the same as though I am taking public transport or even more faster than taking a bus back to my area.
Thank you God for watching over me and protecting me whilst making my way back home at night. For your guidance and walking home with me. I felt your presence tremendously. I take this as a lesson and an experience as well.
