She sat hunched in defeat. She had to find a way out. She cannot give up. Not now.
Her brain clockworks whirred to life and started turning.
Find of a way... anyway out.
Her friend, Othilia stood faithfully beside her; silently giving her moral support.
She decided to tell him the truth. Her text was simple, straightforward and it read:
Hey Dom, I'm in a dilemma. My dad wants to go home early. Can you please try to make it for the 2.30pm movie in Pyramid? Please? And you must come. It's mandatory.
She waited anxiously for the reply:
Sigh. Oklarr.
YES!!!!! She squealed and laughed hysterically in delight!!!
"Let's go Othilia!!!"
They both cruised out of The Web. While they were walking towards the Guard House:
"Ooooh!!! That's a TAXI!!!"
"Hurry, Run!!!"
"Oh no, there's someone inside!!!"
"BITCH!!!"
Deflated, the both of them slowed down and walked down the gentle slope of SS15. Life was cruising slowly by in quite a lovely way.
"Hey, that girl is getting out of the Taxi!!!"
"Yes!!"
"NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" they both shrieked in unison.
"That bloody bitch got into the taxi!!! How can she?? Undercut us?"
They cannot blame the girl. She was standing in front. They were walking leisurely.
Sigh. They waited patiently for a taxi after the second one whizzed off.
When the next one came, everyone there waiting for the taxi were waving frantically, hoping against hope that the taxi will be a saviour.
A Spanish guy got in front of them.
She, was too mad to give up this time. She budged through the crowd.
"Sunway Pyramid??"
She was a lucky girl that the guy did not flare up. He was going to Sunway College. He was in a rush. And so, he stops the taxi, got the taxi to the Sunway direction but this girl just budges in and gets to get down from the taxi first.
Life is unfair. It always is. Learn it, dude!!
The two friends gleefully half-ran up to the cinema. And when they reached the cinema;
"Hey, we're watching 10 000 BC..."
"Eh, 10 000 BC..."
"... 10 000 BC... "
Everyone was talking about 10 000 BC. She crawled in to line-up. She stared up at the television screen, with a small fire of hope burning in her heart.
That fire burst into flames. She was furious.
"What, it's FULL??? WHAT IS THIS?? I CAME HERE FOR NOTHING!!! HOW CAN THEY DO THIS TO ME???"
"Call Dom, Othilia, we're going to Summit."
She text Dom while stomping out of Sunway Pyramid.
"Hey, it's a taxi there!!!"
"Summit??"
"Over there."
They both walked like tame little cubs to the taxi booth.
"11 Ringgit please."
Silently, she cried: "What?? 11 bucks to get to freaking Summit?? This is really awesome, yo!!"
When they reached there, Othilia not-very-quietly observed.
"Hey, this is a modified taxi!!! Woo!!!"
They scrambled out of the taxi and confirmed the observation. Indeed, it was a modified taxi. With a turbo engine and HUGE exhaust pipes.
And the bloody taxi driver dumped them on the side of the road.
It is very terrible to make two ladies wait for a single guy to turn up for a movie. It not only sounds wrong, the action itself is wrong.
No, Dominic was (and is) not allowed to complain about this statement.
Don't hang up on me, 'cos I'm hung up on you....
Shit!!! She rummaged her bag for her phone. It was her mom.
The movie adverts started.
"Did you sms Maria like I told you to?? Why hasn't she called me back?? ... WHERE ARE YOU NOW?? WHY IS IT SO NOISY???"
"I'm in Starbucks, mom!!!"
"How can you study when it is so noisy?? Is that a movie playing?? Where are you??"
"I'm in STARBUCKS!!! It's some bloody fella sitting on the next table watching movies on the laptop."
"You have better move to another quieter place. How can you study in such a noisy place?? Where are you?"
"I'm in STARBUCKS!!! Ok, O-KAY!!! I'm moving!!!"
She pressed the red button and closed her eyes. Oh God, please help me. I don't wanna go home with a furious mom staring at me with fiery daggers shooting out of her eyes... Hey, this movie looks cool!!! Ooooh... it is DARK KNIGHT!!! Awesome! And Heath Ledger looks really freaky as a FREAKY JOKER!! Eww... his face looks deformed.
The movie was quite a bore. It was more of a lady's movie than a guy's. It centred around how the guy went through hell to get the girl back only to have her.....
There just was not enough of fights!!! There should be more hands and muscles wrestles between the protagonist and the ice-aged animals!!! At least something with the super-humongous tiger rather than making the tiger look feline and almost friendly!!!
The only thing to watch for is the cute hunk's face and the gorgeous girl's face. That was quite a consolation.
Ooooh. They speak in some weird, almost a mixture of Tamil and Spanish English.
"Hey Dom, how are you going back?"
"My parents. They are downstairs already."
"Wow, so soon???"
"Your parents allow you to come for the movie??"
"They thought it's a guy outting."
They were both entirely speechless. That's it. They just have to catch another cab back.
She had to cross her fingers hard so that she will not come up with another tale if her dad is there in the college before she reached.
