Commuting | Story : Andri Aushaf Farhan |Character Design Inspiration : Tatsuki Fujimoto
You are a somewhat average thirty-year-old office worker. The time is 8:30 and you are running late. You rushed out of your bed. Quickly put some sink water on your face. Don’t forget a bit of brushing. Putting on your white shirt, brown pants, black coat, and an alternating blue-white-red tie. You pack a bit of last night’s lunch for your breakfast and pet the cat before locking the front door.
As you walk down the street, you saw a police car parked in front of Mrs. Kelly’s apartment. You remember last night that there was news informing some teenagers caught red-handed dealing drugs in the local kindergarten’s park. Mrs. Kelly is seen crying in front of the apartment begging the policemen for something you couldn’t hear because of a garbage truck pulling right before your eyes. As you approach an intersection, you quickly forget about Mrs. Kelly’s situation and walk faster to the nearest metro station.
As you walk down the elevator to the underground metro, your stomach starts to feel sick of something. It is a sensation just like last night when you decided it was a good idea to eat fried rice after chugging down a bottle of cola. It is the anxiety attack you are having and quickly reached into your bag to see if you are forgetting something. It is as if the stars are aligned, you forgot the bring the metro pass, and this way you cannot board the metro from here on out.

YOU DECIDED TO BUY A ONE-TIME TICKET AT THE TICKET MACHINE
You decided to buy a one-time ticket at the ticket machine. This seems the most reasonable action compared to any scenario that pops up in your head. God forbid you are vaulting over the scanner and get caught or something, that couldn’t be you right?
The ticket machine processes the ticket at a slow rate, probably it is designed to do that, so people would buy the metro pass instead. After a whole five minutes, your payment is accepted and you got your ticket. You scan the ticket into the scanner and rush to the platform just in time for your metro to be ready. You hop on to the metro and sit next to one of the doors.
While lost in thought about what happened if you show up in your office late. you notice that a mother and her son board the Metro at the next stop. At first, they seem like a normal mother and son. But then, you overheard the sun speaking to his mother.
“I want to see Daddy!”
The son keeps screaming about the sentence over and over until it was heard all over the metro. Many people decided to exit at the next stop but they decide not to. Because if you exited at the next stop, you’ll be late.
Finally, you arrived at your destination and quickly leave the metro so that you don’t become a maniac hearing the boy over and over again. Now it is only the last stretch to the office. The time indicates 9:20 and you only have ten minutes to spare left while there are about four more intersections to your office. You calculated that you’ll be on time even if you just walk casually. So, you walk casually, trusting your instinct that you’ll be there just fine. God forbid you just carelessly cutting through the red light or weaving in and out of traffic in a car right?
As you predicted, you arrive on time. You sit on your desk and start doing office stuff. Right before you have your breakfast, you overheard a co-worker gossiping about something.
“I heard the head commission will check out on us today…”
The head commission? Oh right, you are the adjutant for the head commission, guiding them through the offices. You don’t forget to bring the script, right? Fortunately, you brought the script. But you didn’t forget about your amendments notes, right? Oh no, you forget about it, don’t you? No matter what, you’ll improvise along the way by reading your co-workers’ reactions.
You are called by the secretary to go to the boss’ room. The boss said that he’ll only accept the highest performance from you for this occasion, and warn you to not mess a single thing up. Before you can ask about the amendments the high commission phone the boss that they have arrived at the office’s lobby. The boss responded quickly and grab you by the hand to go with her to the lobby. On the way, you tried very hard to remember what the amendments were but to no avail. You decided to resort to your first plan.
At the lobby, the boss greets the commissioner and introduces you. You, the boss, and the commissioner tour the office from the lobby to the main office work area and finally into the VIP room. You never went to a VIP room before and the way the room was decorated mesmerized you. The walls are wallpapered with brown-coloured flower motifs, while the floor is carpeted. There are so many achievements hung on the walls. You notice that the VIP room is just an extension of the boss’ room and it can be combined into a mini auditorium.
All of you finally sit down at the comfiest chair in the entire office. The secretary handed you a bunch of documents before entering the VIP room. Fortunately, it had many notes on which document is which so you’re saved. You ask the secretary why didn’t he be guiding the commissioner.
“Well, I manage to convince her- the boss that I have an infectious disease.”
Said the secretary uncaringly. He remarks that he tried to re-convince the boss to put him to be the adjutant again but she already had a unanimous decision to choose you as the role. No matter, that means you will be promoted to be a first secretary and replace him eventually and take on an act of sweet revenge later.
The meeting went, surprisingly well despite your lack of preparations and a bit of luck. In fact, it went so well the boss is inviting some of the trusted co-workers to a party. All of your closest co-workers are there except the secretary. After a few drinks, the boss addresses a message.
“Congratulation to us! For we manage to find another investor to support our company!”
You and other co-workers cheer on this news. Suddenly, she points at you drunkenly and said.
“And for you, I want you to be my secretary!”
Yes! You! You are now the secretary of the entire company! The boss then remarks on a few of your achievements, notably in being the guide for the commissioner even with little to no preparation. But how did she know? No matter, you are too drunk to think about it. As the party slowly died down, you said your byes to your co-workers and the boss that already slept.
Thankfully, the place from the party to your apartment is only a block away and you don’t need to worry about drunk driving because you don’t have a car to drive. You unlock the apartment’s door, take out your shoes and went straight to bed. But not before giving treats to your cat.

YOU DECIDED TO DON’T CARE AND VAULT OVER THE SENSORS.
You decided to don’t care and vault over the sensors. Everyone is shocked at your badassery as you run over the platform. Your metro is the inbound line but it has already departed for this time frame. There’s nothing you can do other than wait.
You quickly got bored and went to the nearest vending machine. You never saw this vending machine before so they must have installed it recently. You glanced at the menu and saw there is a soda called ‘sports drink.’ The labelling of the soda is familiar as one of the popular ion drinks. Because you’re chaotic in nature, you decide to buy the weird soda to try it out. As you crack open the opener it bubbles like crazy, probably from bouncing from being thrown from the top row of the machine. You sip and drink two chugs of the soda. At first, you taste nothing so you drink two chugs more.
Before you knew it your stomach feels sick and you almost throw up. People near you are starting to worry and you told them you’re fine, while you aren’t. You quickly rush to the toilet and barf whatever it is inside your stomach. You feel unwell but you must get to your office asap. You go out of the toilet and just in time the metro in the inbound line is present and you board the metro.
Your stomach screams as its contents have been taken out and people around you laugh at the situation. You quickly pull out your late breakfast hopefully to stop embarrassing yourself further in the commute to work. There are two more stops before the stop you are about to take and your breakfast is still plenty. As the metro near the office, doesn’t even come close to the office, you started to regret taking the metro instead of the bus because now you’re full from your breakfast and don’t feel fit for running for the last stretch to the office. The stop came and you exited the metro.
You walk, but not too slow to look like an old man, and not too fast to look like someone holding something on their butt. Everyone glances at you and laughs, but you don’t care and the only thing on your mind is to get to the office as quickly as possible with your full stomach. The walk from the metro station to the office is four blocks away and you lose your patience on the first block. You angrily zip and zap around cars passing never minding what the traffic light tells you or the many horns the car gave you as it is 9:25 and you only had 5 minutes left. Two more blocks and there it is your office. You decided to run for it.
Out of the blue, your vision went white. Before you knew it you were laid down in a crossing right before your office. The driver that hits you angrily shouts at you and calls you names, but you quickly get up and start to walk normally towards the office. You don’t even bother to give the driver and passersby a reaction.
You arrive at the office with your suit and pants dirty from that ‘minor’ accident you have. Your co-workers ask for your well-being and you shrugged the situation off as if it wasn’t a big deal. Suddenly you are called by the secretary to attend to the boss at her office. The boss is concerned about your health and decided to use one of your off days for today. You try to reason with your boss but eventually, you folded to her request.
With no work done and exhausted, you decided to go home and play with your cat. Surely, this time you wouldn’t take the metro again, and this time you took the bus instead. The bus had many stops before it arrives in your neighbourhood so you took a nap. You wake up just in time for the bus to stop at the nearest stop to your apartment. You exit the bus and went into your apartment. You notice the front door of your apartment’s lock is broken. There are footprints on the floor and the broken pieces are still warm, which means the burglar is still in your house. You use one of your shoes as a weapon and brace yourself before going inside.
You went inside and see much of your living room in a mess. Your laptop is noticeably gone. As you quietly close the door behind you, you hear steps coming from your bedroom on the second floor. You positioned yourself right beside the stairs leading to the second floor. As the shadow comes closer to you, you swing your shoe and knocked the burglar to the ground. The burglar was carrying a box full of things that you were surprised he wasn’t taking your valuables. Instead, this burglar was stealing your underwear and using the laptop as a weight to look like he is taking a lot of things! You dial the emergency number and called the police about the situation.
The officer came and identify the burglar. To your surprise, the officer thanks you for your effort in catching the burglar. The officer explains that he was getting a lot of burglar reports that only steals underwear. Perhaps this time the burglar is running out of money and decided to steal your laptop. In the end, the officer gives you compensation money, not because of the situation, but as gratitude for finally catching the burglar that always bugs the officer the most.

YOU DECIDED TO GO OUT AND TAKE THE BUS INSTEAD
You decided to go out and take the bus instead. Although it was faster to take the metro, it was more convenient to take the bus because the bus stops are right in front of your office. You quickly run over to the nearest bus stop and wait there, hopefully, it won’t be a long wait for the bus to arrive. While waiting you prepare your phone to scan the QR code in the bus to pay for the tariff. You wonder why doesn’t the metro use a QR code to utilize its payment. It doesn’t take long before another bus arrives while you thought out a scenario where the metro uses QR code for payment instead of a metro pass system. You quickly scan the QR code and sit on an empty double seat.
On its way, the bus made quite a few stops but you are certain you will make it into the office 9:30 sharp. At one of the stops, a tall man wearing some sort of noir costume enters the bus. You and the tall man glanced eyes for a split second before you divert your attention elsewhere. To your surprise, the tall man sits right beside you and starts to whisper something.
“Aren’t you the kid who makes a mess back in my class?”
You sigh in relief as he was Mr. Ahmed, your high-school dance teacher. It has been quite a few years since you and Mr. Ahmed saw each other and he was very delighted to see you go working despite his reasoning on how low his expectation of you was back then. You asked Mr. Ahmed why is he dressed like a person from the 1940s, he laughed. He explains that this was his only suit since his father passed away and apparently some producer took notice of it and decide to cast Mr. Ahmed in a mavia-esque movie.
As you talk with Mr. Ahmed you fell in deep conversations with him and missed your stop. You started to sweat heavily as the time tells you it was 9:10 currently. Mr. Ahmed apologizes for causing you to miss the stops but you are too overwhelmed about the current situation to hear his apology. Mr. Ahmed then grabs you and tells you to come with him to drop with him at the next stop and you agree relentlessly. The next stop came and you and Mr. Ahmed said gratitude to the bus driver and exit the bus. As you are deep in your scenario making thought about what happened if you are late to the office, Mr. Ahmed interrupts you and points at a shining black Mercedes-Benz 770.
“Come! I’ll drive you to your office!”
The two of you quickly ran across the busy street and went into Mr. Ahmed’s car. As you’re about to ask how he got this car Mr. Ahmed quickly runs the gas and starts to weave in and out of the traffic like in those action films. As you’re amazed by Mr. Ahmed’s driving skill and how this old looking car still holds the two of you finally arrive at your office. As you quickly thanks Mr. Ahmed he gives you one of his cards and told you to hang out with him sometimes. You agreed and rushed to the office as fast as you can.
You come to the office on time at 9:30 and everything goes back to normal. As you sit at your office desk eating your late breakfast, for some reason, everyone is staring at you with a side-eye and you don’t know why. As you do your work as efficiently as possible, you knock down a pen and decided to bend over to grab it. You are shocked to find that you lose one of your shoes. So now you have an explanation as to why everyone looked at you in a weird way.
Work at the office went smoothly and it’s time for you to go home. You take the bus again as you still don’t have a metro pass and take a nap on the bus. Fortunately, you wake up on time for your stop. Walking with one shoe is hurting your toes more than you imagined. You arrive right in front of your house. As you stick your key to open the door, the door slide by itself, as if it weren’t locked in the first place. The door handle is still warm, so it must mean that someone, a burglar is still in the house. You pick your last shoe as a throwable weapon to teach the burglar one last lesson. As you traverse your house every window you see is shut and no light can come into the house apart from the main entrance door. The door shut itself and you are alone in the dark. Suddenly…
“Surprise!”
Lights lit up and windows opened. There are so many people in your house you barely had anything to say. You feel a tap on your shoulder and you turn around and see Mr. Ahmed!
“Happy Birthday!”
You’re too tired to make sense of what is happening around you and decided to go to the sofa and found your family all there preparing a cake. But something is off, you never had any surprises or birthday parties since your 10th but here they are celebrating your 30th. Turns out it was your fiancée’s plan all along. Your fiancée explained that they knew about what happened to you this day because they were Mr. Ahmad’s best friend all along.
“Also, I want to ‘gift’ you this”
Mr. Ahmed hands you a box wrapped in your favourite colour, probably your fiancée told him what yours as you couldn’t remember telling Mr. Ahmed your favourite colour. Turns out it was a new shoe, a newer model you could say of the shoe you are carrying right now in your left hand. You laughed as you never laughed before stopping and told your Mr. Ahmed and your fiancée of the wonderful birthday party and gift. So then, you partied hard as the weekend is every day.
