Karma

What goes around comes around. Cause and Effect. The Golden Rule.

I was in a frenzy with the damage I caused 2 weeks ago when I scratched someone’s car. Okay, okay, I was more than contented, I was downplaying my emotions. Let’s just say I was overly euphoric. At the back of my mind though, I knew that someday she will get her revenge one way or the other. I didn’t realize that karma adapts to the fast paced world we all live in. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a car for a car … all in a matter of one week.

It was my day-off, woke up early and had my day perfectly planned. I was just a block away from my place when I started to hear Albert making some growling sounds. Again, I’m a total dumbass when it comes to automobiles so I didn’t have the slightest idea that I had car trouble until another driver called my attention.

The front tire was so flat that I can hear the rim making contact with the road (So, that’s the weird sound!). I wish I had paid attention to my father when he taught me how to change tires. I wish I had a boyfriend who will come to my rescue. I wish, I wish, but I had no one to turn to except myself. So I walked several blocks to get to the nearest gas station and get a mechanic. Instead of enjoying a cup of coffee at a cozy place, I was scorched by the sun, my sweat glands in active mode.

Long story short, I wasted 2 hours of my time. The mechanic said my car was sabotaged. Someone played a joke on me by putting a pebble somewhere on the tire that released all the air inside. How can someone be so cruel??? Then, I realized I was the one who started it all. Last week, I was the predator, now I was the prey.

Karma.
