Dialogue Between Me and A Stranger (Entry 2)

One day on a busy road in the city.


A woman: Assalamualaikum. Excuse me, Miss?
Me: Waalaikumsalam. Can I help you?

A woman: Yes, I wanted to ask if you know what is the directions to Kampung Cendana Putera?
Me: Yes, I know the directions.

A woman: Before that, may I ask how far is Kampung Cendana Putera from here?
Me: It's quite far.

A woman: Oh dear, actually I'm from Indonesia. I came here to visit my aunt. She is critically ill.
Me: I understand your situation and I am willing to help you. Do you have the address of your aunt's house?

A woman: I do have it, here it is.
Me: Your aunt's address is at Kampung Cendana Putra. Listen carefully. First, you must take a taxi from here. Right now, you're at Jalan Tun H. S Lee. Continue going straight until you see a traffic light at the crossroad. Then, turn right and continue straight ahead until you cross the first bridge at Sungai Senja. After you cross the bridge, continue straight ahead and turn left at the T-junction. You will pass Ahmad's Supermarket on your left at Jalan Ihsan.

A woman: That's quite a long way.
Me: Yes of course, because Kampung Cendana Putera is quite far from the town center.

A woman: I just knew about it.
Me: After you pass Ahmad's Supermarket at Jalan Ihsan, turn left and go straight until you cross the second bridge at Sungai Mentari. From there, you'll have to cross some railway lines at Jalan Raja Muda. Afterwards, at the second traffic light, turn left again. To get to Kampung Cendana Putera, you must cross Kampung Tuah. Kampung Tuah is being just before Kampung Cendana Putera. At the entrance of Kampung Cendana Putra, you'll see lots of food stalls. Then you will be sure its Kampung Cendana Putra.

A woman: Thank you for your kindness on giving the directions.
Me: You're welcome.

A woman: I hope we will meet again.
Me: I hope so too, and I hope you will get to your destination safely.

A woman: Assalamualaikum.
Me: Waalaikumsalam.
