Alone

I went to pasar malam alone tonight. Walking alone on the street at night I feel a little nervous. I can hear every footstep, every breath of myself in the quiet night. I was all alone walking down to the main street heading to the night market. Walking alone makes me feel independent and strong. I feel like I can do things by my own. On the way back, when I was full with my confidence. Suddenly, a motorcycle drove out from a small junction and I saw the 2 guys on it turned their heads and stared at me for a second. The motorcycle on its highlight and shine to me direction and the next thing I knew, it stopped right in front of me. It happened too fast and I didn't even had time to think. I felt cold shiver in mine spine and I went frozen there. All the confidence I felt were gone at instant. The motorcycle stopped in front of me for 10 seconds and drove off. I resumed my pace and returned home. My heart was jumping hard. For a minute I thought I am strong alone, and a minute later I felt so vulnerable. I wanted to call someone for company tonight, but I can't think of a person can help me this time.
