"It was Sunday morning ..."

After lunch, I packed my bag to return home. I thanked Arif and his family because they had
generously packed some food and fruits for me to eat on my journey back. Then, Arif sent me to the
bus stop. We waited for about half an hour before the one and only bus available on that day came
along. I bid goodbye to Arif and boarded the bus to continue my journey back home. It was a splendid
Sunday for me.

As I was reaching the bus stop, I saw a huge crowd swelling by the roadside. They all made a
dash when they saw a bus coming. People were pushing and shoving, trying to get to the best seats
first. Some passengers were holding onto the safety rails. The unlucky ones managed to put their foot
on the foothold and left everything else to luck. There was no need of pushing ourselves inside,
thanks to the full force effort by those who tried to board the bus after us. It was Sunday; everybody
wanted to go to the town so the bus was jam-packed to the maximum.

It was Sunday morning. I had decided to visit my friend, Arif who lived in a village in Kuala Ketil,
Kedah. The place was quite far off from my house in Alor Setar and the taxi driver would have
charged me a very high rate. So 1 thought, why not take a little trouble travelling by a local bus for a
cheaper rate?

Finally, the bus reached a corner where Arif's house was situated. I got down from the bus and
walked towards his house. Arif warmly welcomed my arrival. I could see that the welcome was
genuine because village people are frank and friendly. His mother then came out and brought us hot
tea and some local delicacies to eat.

By the way, it was my first visit to a village. 's village was situated in a rural area which was about
ten kilometres away from the main bus station in Sungai Petani. Therefore, I had to take another bus
to go to the village. Only one bus went there in the morning and returned in the afternoon.. I got into
the bus and found a seat for myself. Again, the bus passed through green fields all around. I had
never come across so much green space anywhere in the city.

After a while, I went to his backyard. It was a very spacious area and the breeze was blowing
gently. The greenery made me feel very peaceful. I saw a pond and some little boys were bathing
there and enjoying themselves in the water. I lingered in the backyard for quite some time and soon it
was lunchtime. Arif 's mother had cooked a vast varieties of delicious food for lunch. The vegetables
tasted very fresh and she also had cooked fresh fish from the river.

The journey took me almost three hours. When I entered the oldest town of Kedah, I saw rice
fields on both sides of the roads. The rice fields stretched all the way to the horizon and beyond. The
tall, green rice plants were swaying in the wind. When someone from the town visits a village, it
seems that he has come to a different planet. Life moves so fast in the city that the residents feel hard
to keep pace with it. Cars spreading poisonous black smoke everywhere and everyone seems to be
running from place to place. He may use a car, motorbike or a bus. Animals and birds on the other
hand seem to have disappeared or migrated to some other land.
