We waited from 7.30pm wishing the train to arrive before 8 since our next train to Alor Setar was 9.15 pm. It took about 45 minutes by Komuter to reach KL Sentral from UKM Station. 8pm passed. 8.15pm the train still not arrived. Both of us became restless, started to blame on each other for the delay. We keep on shouting at each other, get angry, and became annoying. Its not a good thing to practice when we were in trouble. Yes we both were tired for what we have been through that day. What we have done, let it go. Do not start to nag about what had happened, it did not solve the problems. After few minutes arguing, we came to our conscious. I went to the station staff, asking for any number we can call if we were not going to make it by 9.15pm at KL Sentral. He gave me a number to call and reassure us that we were going to catch the train.
Sempat la dik. Dari sini ke Sentral 39 minit je. Sekarang baru 8.20. Lagi 3 minit train sampai.
What!!! We were like having a pause button there. We know how unreliable the komuter is. Sometimes they stuck, sometimes got a lot of passengers and the train move slower. What if, what if, what if. So we just stood there waiting dengan pasrahnya, praying harder for the ease.
8.25 pm like that the train arrived. Calculting the time and duration, macam tak sempat je ni. Dahlah train asyik berhenti tengah tengah bergerak, manusia pulak ramai. I called the number given.
Train ke Alor Setar pukul 9.15pm, kitorang kat Stesen Bandar Tasik Selatan.
La.. sempat sangat lah tu. Lagi tak sampai 20 minit sampai KL Sentral.
Tapi kalau tak sempat macam mana? Train Alor setar tinggal kitorang.
Kamu ni, baru pukul 8.50pm. Sempat la sampai.hish budak ni. (mesti dia nak rasa macam nak sekeh kepala orang)
9.05 pm we reached KL Sentral safe and sound. Ala-ala Amazing Race gitu. we ran from the komuter platform to the next train's platform. Semua orang macam bagus gila bagi laluan kat peserta Amazing Race ni.
Found and confirmed the platform, we kind of a bit relief since gate tak buka lagi. We were so damn hungry and asked a pakcik if sempat tak kalau nak beli food dulu before masuk. Pakcik tu cakap, ala sempat je. Ok. We went KFC, buy some food, but suddenly the gate opened.Wa!!! Cepat, depa dah nak masuk train
I turned my head, and saw the pakcik supported us.
Pergi pergi beli makanan! Sempat lagi! Passenger ramai ni. Cepat2!
We ran to KFC with our bags (of course), ordered 2 snack plates, take away. Masa tu la jugak kan ada orang mute duk depan kitorg nak order. I went to other counter, and manage to reach my turn to order. Akak KFC yang sangatlah lembut lemah gemalai served us. Ya Allah macam nak menjerit, cepatlah akak!! Meh saya tolong bungkuskan lah.
Wani went to see the gate. It was empty! All the passengers were in. I paid the meal, and ran towards Wani. The distance was about 50 metres away. And Wani was like shouting to me.
Wa tak da orang dah. Kita yang last! Cepat!
With a bagpack, a trolley bag, and both hands holding the KFC meals, I ran like I was chased by a dog. I feel like a monster running, people around us been the spectators saying, cepat! cepat. Feel like in the running competition. dan dan..
Nobody was on the platform. All passengers were inside the train. There was a train staff uploading the last luggage. He was like saying, korang ni nak ke mana? kalut semacam je. We asked him where is V1? He pointed to the last coach. Coach paling depan, ok! And we was at the other end of the train. We ran again for another about 50 metres kot.
Sampai kat coach memang dah berpeluh-peluh. Everyone looked calm, happy and ready to ride the train. We were like athletes who just finished a marathon. Tired. Tell me about it.
As we sat on our couch, the train moved. Phew.. Just in time. We laughed at each other.
