She uses a car!
My dear human, the world is not interested in knowing how
you ended up at a particular venue; party, meeting, church, funeral.
One day, I went to a school religious ceremony. Our kind
find it so hard to respect time, so instead of starting the function at 9:00am
as indicated in our invitation letters, the function started after 11:00am. You
can imagine all the hunger in the world for a few of us who were at the venue by
8:00am. We yearned until our jaws ached, lips cracked, so dry you would imagine
some chalk had been painted on them; some of us looked sick all of a sudden,
headache hit us. And you know, the headache caused by hunger does not leave one
immediately even after consuming food. It takes a bit of time. No medicine
besides food cools it even a little; keep your stashed pain relief aside for
another day. Others got so irritable, one word and they would just flare up.
Anyways
what this particular woman I knew nothing about did, was to turn to me, smile
and lament about the poor timekeeping. Then she went like; “I think I should
drive back and have some breakfast, I left in a terrible hurry…” Honestly who
really wants to know how you came here, whether you walked, ran, biked, jumped
on a Bajaj, tractor, Harrier, whatever…you are here. If you are this kind of people,
this is how you phrase such a sentence, “…I need to go back home and have some
breakfast…”
