It’s almost eight o’clock in the evening and until that time, my husband was not yet home. Usually, he arrived at 6pm. Suddenly, the phone rings so I hang on the cradle to answer the call. It was my husband who seems very tired with his harsh voice. He informed me that he met a vehicular trouble on his way home. I got worried upon hearing the bad news but he assured me that nothing to worry anymore because all was settled then.
When he got home, I have learned that one of the tires of his car found to be flat and he did not noticed it earlier. On the highway, the flat tire went worst that leads to stopped the car unexpectedly. This thing cause a heavy traffic. Unfortunately, he has no extra tire to replace the flat tire so he need to take the tire and rushed to the nearest vulcanizing shop. At the shop, he found out that the tire was damaged by a big hole,perhaps a big nail or a rough stone. The shop owner offered him to buy a new tire because the old one is no longer advisable to use. Good thing that he has a budget at that time to buy for a new tire.
That incident made him realized to have an extra tire so that in case of emergency, he can easily changed it.
I have met an old friend at the mall one Sunday. She invited me to have a snack at the fast food restaurant inside the mall. It’s been years since we lost our communication and this was the first time that we get the chance to see each other again. We shared our past experiences when we were still young. We even exchanging calling cards after wards.
At home, my husband noticed the calling card inside my bag and asked me about it. I told him that said card was given to me by a friend. When she read the headings of the calling card, I found out that my friend is presently working in a used car store that we once visited when we make a canvass of the car price. My husband told me to call up my friend to asked about the car for sale that we both like to purchase but we have insufficient budget then. When my friend learned that we are interested to buy the displayed car, she encouraged me to buy it now because it is presently offered with a discount price. She also assured me that said car is still in running condition and she guaranteed that any parts that needs to replace at the time of warranty will be free of charge.
She offered a great deal for us in buying the car.
When we went to the car store to look at the features of the car, we were convinced that it is worth the price. We have also learned that said used car shop was owned by my friend.
