Candid

My wife loves to give strangers a lift. She’s the one that thought that everybody could be trusted.

One day, she saw two male students walking towards MU. By the way, she’s working in that university and currently we are staying in the quarters just outside the campus.

She gave them a ride. One of the boys took his place on the front seat. While the other open the rear door of the car and then closed it.

My wife took them (at least she think of) to their designated faculty, only to found out later (way later, she’s already arrived in that faculty) that one of them is not in the car. He asked the boy in front seat, “Where’s your friend?”

He said that the other boy’s on the way to another door (opposite the one that he opened and then closed) when my wife starts to move and then revved the car. He (the lucky boy) was numb by that incident (my wife left without his friend on the car), but he didn’t say anything (maybe thinking that my wife’s planned all this).

She then saw (or shall I say, noticed) a box on the backseat on that side of the door (the one that been opened and closed by that boy). No wonder that boy thought of getting into the car trough another means (this case, another door).

Poor boy.

P/S: Wife dearest, please be extra careful next time. Not everybody can be trusted these days.
