I really had a feeling that something not good would happen the moment I saw that man in blue even when we were still falling in line waiting for our ride. He was in front of me. Actually, we were riding the previous jeep also from the office to the jeep terminal going to our town. Anyways, I really did not like to sit beside him because he was really big as in three times as big as I am. Well, you know, I might be squeezed!
Anyways, fortunately, we were to ride a new jeep and we were the first two to ride. I went ahead and sat at the farthest end. He went and sit opposite me. In no time, the jeep was filled in. The collector went up and asked for our payments for our fare. I think, he gave 100 bucks. The collector went to other passengers and did not give the man in blue his change right way because there was no smaller bills nor coins yet. On the other hand, the man in blue got his over sized headset and connect it with his MP3 player. Her came the collector, asking the passengers who still has to be given his change. No one answered. The man in blue did not react at all. The collector went down and the jeep moved. Off we went! After a few minutes, the man in blue removed his headset and asked us if the collector already went down. He said that he was not given his change yet. The man beside me told him that we were all being asked a while ago before we finally go. Yes, he was told that he was not able to hear it because he was listening to music.
