Night time, I am having my dinner then my phone starts ringing. I answered the call
"Can I speak to Sir Ramon" the caller said
"Speaking" I answered
"This is Paul, Ms. Paterson's driver"
"Thank you for that delicious pasta Sir. Now what is it you wanted to ask me?" He asked
"Well Paul I am looking for a car which has a lightning bolt as its logo" I said
"You mean Nimbus" he replied
"Okay Paul thanks for your time" I said then hang up
I immediately searched for different Nimbus models. The net then shows different pictures. I checked it one by one then I finally saw the exact model but different in color
Nimbus Striker was the model
So I am looking for a black Nimbus Striker with a plate number of UWU 1109
I searched for how many registered Nimbus Striker are there but I didn't see anything that is useful. I then searched for the nearest Nimbus dealers and it is located a couple of blocks away from this university
I memorized the route towards the car dealer
I looked at the time and it was already late. So head straight to my bedroom, set my alarm at eight in the morning then I tucked myself to bed
"Big brother wake your already late" my alarm clock wailing
I immediately stopped it and stood up. I made a couple of stretches then freshen up. I prepared breakfast then ate it. Afterwards I took a shower and went on my way
Along the way I felt something. The same sensation as before. Then a car passed by the other lane and it looks like the car I was searching for. I stopped and took a good look at it and I was right, that's the car. I know it from its plate number. The car was to fast and it vanishes out my sight
I rode my bike once more and continued pedalling towards the car dealer. After a long road of pedalling I have reached the shop. I immediately entered it
"Good day Sir how can I help you" a staff said
"Well I was hoping if you could entertain my questions" I replied
"It depends on what are you asking" the staff said
"How many models of black Nimbus Striker are sold here" I asked
"Around fifty thousand"
"You see Sir all the cars from Mythingale University are black Nimbus Striker" the staff said
"Are there any more dealers beside you?" I asked
"Yes Sir we do have a shop near the mall and they offer Nimbus Striker in different colors" the staff said
"Okay thanks" I waved goodbye then walk out
I rode my bike towards the mall. From there I asked passersby where I could find a Nimbus shop. It led me to a road with different car shops. Finally I saw the shop. I immediately entered it
"Good day Sir how can I help you with?" A staff said
"Just asking on how many units of black Nimbus Striker are sold here" I asked
The staff then started searching for something. He pulls out a book then have it a quick scan
"Sir around two hundred units are sold here" the staff said
"Do you still have neighboring shops here except for the shop near Mythingale University?" I asked
"No sir but in the other cities we have" the staff said
"Okay thanks for your time" I waved goodbye then walk away
"Looks like this is going to be a tough one. I have three possibilities."
"First my mother could be inside Mythingale University which has over fifty thousand cars."
"Second is she is in this city which has around two hundred cars, add the roaming cars from the other cities that pass by here."
"Lastly she lives in the other cities and she only pass by here"
A gave a long sigh
"I really need your sign Emre help me" I prayed
I rode my bike and went to the mall to have a bite. Inside I think I saw Elena in a casual attire.
"No that's not her. Elena won't wear something like that during work days" I said to myself
I got curious so I tried chasing them but they went inside a restaurant. I started to peek inside and I was right. That was her in a casual attire. At first I couldn't believe it. I went inside and approach them
"Good afternoon Elena" I greeted
"What's up with your outfits? Are you guys on a day off?" I asked
Then someone approached us as well. Elena stood up
"Mr. Von Suck I am Ms. Paterson from Mythingale University"
"Please have a seat" Elena offered
Looks like she has work so I went on my way. I entered fast food and I saw the line was long so I didn't bother. I continued to walk around in search for something cheap to eat then accidentally I bump into someone and her drink was spilled luckily her dress didn't got wet
"I am so sorry Miss I wasn't looking in my way" I said as I wipe her arms clean
"You're going to pay for that" she said
"Where can I get you one?" I shamefully asked
She then points into a coffee store which isn't too far from our location. I immediately ran towards it. As I approach it a was being torn apart from the looks of it what they are selling isn't cheap
The lady catches up to me and pulls me inside. She ordered her drink and its price is enough to buy five kilos of rice. I got curious why their coffee here is so expensive so I ordered a small one
After awhile our drink is ready
"Hey! That's not what you ordered" I raised my voice
Her coffee is bigger than the one I spilled
"Why have a problem with it" she seems mean
I remained silent to avoid making a commotion. She immediately left but I stayed for a while to enjoy the ambiance. I take a sip and I was surprised of its taste no wonder it's totally expensive it's tasty
I then got an idea. I immediately went to an appliance store and bought a coffee brewer and other necessary equipment in making a coffee
I then went to the grocery and bought everything to make a perfect coffee and a bite to eat along the way
I went back to the university and immediately set up my brewing equipment. I watched several tutorials before I start making my own perfectly brewed coffee
I made several attempts but I didn't manage to get the taste I am looking for. I rested for awhile and think where did I done wrong
On my couch I started watching it once again. Nothing seems wrong in the process and I have the same equipment model but I have different ingredients
"That's it" I said as I snapped my finger
"I should buy the same ingredients. How stupid of me" I said
I rushed downstairs then I couldn't help noticing the lady in the lobby. She looks like the one that swindled me. I approached her
"What are you doing here!" I raised my voice
"I study here. Have a problem with that" she seems mean
"You look too old for a freshmen" I teased
"Freshmen? I am already a fourth year so that makes me your senior" she bragged
"So what if your my senior screw you" I said
"What did you just tell her!"
"Yeah" someone said behind my back
I turn to have look and I saw two ladies that looks pissed their eyes are raging with anger
"Don't worry he isn't doing anything wrong" the junior said as she wraps her arm around my shoulder
"If I were you I'll be get going these two can seriously pack a punch" she whispered then gave me a soft push
She then waves goodbye. I pick up my bike and went on my way
"What's up with her acting mean then warns me about a threat" I said to myself
As soon as I arrived at the mall. I immediately ran towards the grocery store, grabbed a basket and then started shopping. I made a checklist so I don't miss anything. I finally bought what I need so I head back
Then I felt a jump of blood. My mother is nearby but I was in a hurry so the sensation immediately faded. Maybe I am already too far away. I shake my mind of it and with full throttle I arrived at the boarding house in no time
I attempted to make the same coffee once more but now everything is perfect. The scent of the coffee is splendid and I can't stop sniffing it. The brewing is finally done I added milk and other stuff in it
I took a picture for remembrance. I took a sip and I liked it. Finally I found the taste that I am looking for
I sat in my hammock as I took a sip of my perfect coffee. I enjoyed every drop of it. I am certainly delighted if I haven't ran into that lady I can't make a coffee as tasty as this. Maybe if we meet again I'll offer her some
