Facing Police Razia for the First Time

Well guys, I want to tell you about my first experience facing the police. It was very an embarrassing yet funny day. I was walking home to my boarding house when my friend offered me a ride and asked me to accompany him to buy a second-hand book.  Unfortunately, he did not have any helmet for me to wear. But he insisted and told me that there would be no police. Finally, I agreed to accompany him and go home together.

On the way to the bookstore, she chose the alternative way and rode carefully. Although took longer time and distance, finally we could arrive in the bookstore. My friend bought some classic novels, while I was looking at the bookshelf.

Then  we went to the parking area. We rode the motorcycle and passed the same way.  Suddenly, when we just turned left at the intersection, we saw a police standing near the tree. The police stopped us and asked for the riding license and all the equipment in riding motorcycle. We thought that the way was safe from the police, but we were wrong.

Then the police asked to me, “Where is your helmet?”

I was afraid to answer, and I just said, “Sorry, sir. It’s just my mistake.”

 Surprisingly, my friend was also realizing his fault, “No, sir. I have asked her to accompany me. Let me get the traffic ticket.”

But, guessed what happened next! The police which had strict face showed us his wide smile.

He said, “You are all funny. I won’t give you the punishment letter, but please do something.”

My friend starred at me. We thought we had to give the police some money, or we had to go to the court, but we only had a few.

Then, the police said, “Don’t you think I ask some money  from you? Okay, I’ll make it clear. You are the students, right?  Then tell me what lesson you learned today at school.”

Feeling surprised and worried at the same time, I tried to recall my mind about the lesson at school. “Oh, I just learned how to write a diary in English.  May be I will write about today’s incident – I don’t wear the helmet.”

The police couldn’t stand not to laugh. “Okay, I release you. But remember to wear the helmet when you ride the motorcycle, even there is a police or not. Please stay safe!”

We felt relieved and thanked him.  Later, he told us that my friend and I reminded him to his daughter who stayed in other city to study.  After that moment, I promise to always wear the helmet when going by motorcycle and refuse for a ride if there is no helmet. I will not let that embarrassing moment happened twice.
